WASHINGTON NATIONAL
WASHINGTON NATIONAL

MONUMENT SOCIETY, Dec. ., 1868.
Rerere14d and Dear .SirS:
In pursuance of a resolution of the
Washington National Monument So
ciety, we, the officers Of the society,
respectfully request you to cause col
lections, for the benefit Of the m0nu-
ment, TO be taken up in your respec-
tive congregations on the Sunday inn
mediately preceding the 22d Of Febru-
ary next, and remit the amounts to
the treasurer of the society. A very
small sum from each congregation
will, in the aggregate, insure the inn
mediate resumption Of work on the
monument, and, with the expected
aid from other sources, it is hoped that
in few years it will be completed.
The veneration in which thememOry
of Washington is held by the American
people renders a studied appeal to their
patriotism unnecessary, and we there
fore simply make known to you the re-
quest Of the society, confidently believ-
lag that you will cordially cooperate
with them in the noble work.
Very respectfully, your ob't servants,

The ENCLIsH LABOR STRIKEs.-Thc spin
nurs and mindcrs of Preston, England, are
willing to work at a reduction Of GvC per
cent. on wages, and the majority have now
resumed work on those terms. -Four firms
In the town, however, still insist on the re-
ductim of ten per cent, and the strike Is
now confined to thcsc-in all about four hun
drcd spiuncrs and their dependents being out
If employ. Operatives connected with the
Spinncrs' and Mindcrs' Association continue
to emigrate 10 America.
Tho ironmastGrs Of the North of England
and their workpeoplc have settled their dis
Hutc in n rational way. The question of
wngcs-the men demanding an advance Of

prospective improvement in prices, the men
