Ifashtngton National Monument Our readers will remember that during last fell a plan was originated to raise the means necessary to complete the Wash ington National Monument, by requesting the Postmasters throughout the United States to put up boxes within their re spective offices, in order to afford the citi zens in every part of the country the op portunity, at any time, to make voluntary contributions for the completion of the Monument. . The plan has,been in operation about four months, and returns hate beea re ceived from 841 places, leaving 28,000 places to bo heard from. The aggregate amount received is §2,240 SI. If the post masters of the places not heard from would co-operate with the others, and with as favorable an average result, the annual j fund would be more than two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. To keep the work in fair progression §45,000 a, .year would suffice, which would require an •average return of §1,50 a year, or 12J cents per month, from each town.

Pittsburgh Female College. —Hus school,: although now only in the fourth year of its ex istence, has attained a reputation second to no: institution of the kind in the country. As an evidence of its prosperity, and the high estima tion in which it is held by those who are ac quainted with the persons who have it in charge, it is only necessary to state that there were 18S pupils in attendance last year. The building is commodious and convenient, costing upwards of $30,000. Those of our citizens who intend see ding their daughters to school, should by all means take this College into consideration.— Wo copy the following notice from the Pitts burgh True Press:— The next session of this excellent institution will commence on the 28th of March, Instead pf the 21st, as heretofore. This change is bht temporary, and will not affect the length of the session, which will close one week later. Mr. Pershing, the President elect, will then entsr upon the discharge of his duties—and w,o may here remark that, from the high opinion every where expressed, by the press and otherwise, In reference to'the character and qualifications of this gentleman, the advantages of the institution cannot fail to be fully maintained, if they ape not caasiderahly enhanced. Nearly nine thou sand Wofrars have recently been contributed by responsible persons in the city, to meet the In debtedness of the college,. and this amount Will soon be increased to tea thousand. When the latter sum is raised, important additions Will Ihe made in the way of apparatus, cabinet, library, etc. ■ I: .

The Increased business has, however, been steady, pnd exhibits a general improvement in the Sources from whence the revenue of the Compa- I ay is derived. The earnings from freight, owing to tbo ex • freme low rates obtained during a considerable portion of the year, consequent on the competi tion between the .New YOrk and Central Hail Road and the transporters on the Erie canal, do not correspond with the increased tonnage of the I road; I The following condensed statement exhibits the results of the operations of your road for the vear 1859: !

The increased earnings for first class passen gers amount to §73,365 99, while the earnings from ths emigrant business show a decrease of §24,681 71; leaving as the increase from the whole passenger traffic the sum of $48,674 28. This increase was mainly derived from the local travel upon the road, and is due to thoincreascd facilities afforded for this character of business. The Philadelphia Division shows na increase equivalent to a passage over the whole Division of from 169,379 in 1858, to 196,488 in 1859, and on tjie main line of the Harrisburg and Lancaster Road from 109,481 in 1858, to 124,- 244 in 1859, notwithstanding the competition between Harrisburg and Philadelphia, by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and its Leb anon Branch. The whole number of passengers transported by the Company during trie year was 1,459. ID •, and the number of miles travelled amounted to 54,839,691, or an average 37 J miles per passen ger. It affords much gratification to the Board to renew the statement, made in the last annual report, that notwithstanding the large number of passengers carried over the road not a single life has beer lost. The freight earnings for the year amounted to the sum of $119,904 94 more than was derived from thitfsource in 1858. The increase of the freight earnings is entirely due to the local bus iness, exceeding that of 1858 the ajpount of 110,937 tons, while the through,freight, amoun ting in all to 233,606 tons, was only increased 12,896 tons. The whole tonnage moved upon the rood du ring 1869 was 1,170,240 tone, exclusive of 70,- 875 tons of wood, coal, lumber, &c.,for the use of the Company. Embraced in the foregoing tonnage there were transported in the Cars of the Company 210,903 tons of coal, and of the same article 210,722, tons in cars of individuals, making the entire movement of coal 421,625 tons, and an increase in this traffic over the pre ceding year of 81,087 tons. The amount of coal delivered in Pittsburg during the last year (all in cars other than those of the Company) was 100,302 tons, varying but Uttlo from the amount for the year 1858. | For more full and precise information in re gal’d t» the earnings and expenses of the road, the kind and amount of tonnage, and for numer ous and interesting details, the stockholders are respectfully referred to the ample tabular state ment from the Controller and Auditor, which will be found appended to this report. The funds furnished to the Trustees of the Sinking Fund have been invented by them in the shares of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Com pany, and to the amount of more than one-half of the capital stock of tho Company. This in vestment, while it yields a full interest upon the outlay, protects the business of the Company from the undue influence of other, interests. The roadway has not only been maintained in complete order during the year, but it has passed the period at which railways usually at tain their maximum cost for “ maintenance of way.” Owing, however, to the quality of iron niejd in its construction, tho Pennsylvania -Rail Road has jmt reached that point. The amount of iron supplied for repairs .during the year, is equivalent to fifty miles of track, which, with the present extent of line, is about the quantity .that will be annually required to keep the road in good condition. A lower rate of speed for both passenger and freight trains could materi ally lessen the wear of the rails and machinery, and effect important savings in the cost of work ing tho road in nearly every department. To attain high speeds, heavy and powerful locomotives must be used, and additional safe guards are required to compensate the increased risk involved. The destructive effects of these heavy machines, moving at high velocities, qan be readily appreciated by any one, and it is therefore a matter of surprise that railway man agers should persist in this practice. This Com pany cannot, however, reduce the speed of its trains, or advance its through rates and retain its customers, while its chief competitors conti nue to insist upon an adverse policy. The earnings of tho Canals owned by the Company, for year 1869, were;— I’rorn the Eastern Division, “ Juniata Division, “■ Western Diri^gn, ° Miscellaneous receipts, $197,549 38 The expenses of maintaining the canal for tbo same pp rlod were as follows For repairs, renewals and eulaigcmont, $140,105 07 For snptrlntcndenco, collectors, lock tenders, woigh-masters, stationery, etc., 35,347 31 $175,452 38 hearing net earnings of the canals, , $22,007 62 - The increase in the canal revenues over 1858 was $18,449 80, and the increased expenditures vrere $51,394 07, embracing the sum of §24,- 394 79 expended in the re-erection of a bridge over the Susquehanna river at Clark’s Ferry, tvbioh had been blown down by a severe storm, and also an expenditure of about $B,OOO, incur red for steam towage, rendered necessary in consequence' of the destruction of the bridge. The remainingportion 6f the increase of expen ses was incurred in deepening and enlarging the capacity of'the Eastern Division of the Canal. The amount of coal transported on the Canals of the Company during the year ,1859 was 615,866 tons, being an increase over the prece ding year of 103,634 tons, and the amount of lumber transported was Increased from 95,770,- 453 feet in 18.58, to 120,074,678 feet in giving an average increase of tOpjnage of about twontyifiye per cent.

It has been the policy of this Company (contrary to public-expectation) to cultivate the trade upon their' canal* and develops tbs resources of the country contiguous. to them, in order, if possi ble, to render them productixe property.. These Canals were receixod from tho Com monwealth in' avery dilapidated condition ;* the prism of the canal being so reduced as to scarce ly afford more than a depth of three feet of water throughout. The condition of those works . render it impracticable for those engaged in ] transportation on them to contend successfully j with the railways for the traffic of the country j traxersed, and the consequence was, at the time j the Company recoiveu possession of them, their j trade was gradually declining. | Upon the-Eastern Division the depth of water ■ has been increased to a minimum of five feet, and-the other divisions of the works, where any trade of importance was to bo accommodated, have been restored to their original capacity. No portion of these Canals, except the Eastern division, (of 46 miles in length) is sclf-sustain i iug ; but it is hoped that the Juniata Division, as tar west as Huntingdon, may ultimately bo ; made to produce some net revenue.

These expenditures have in part been met, as well as a payment to the State of $lOO,OOO on accouht of the Main Line purchase, by an in crease of the fupded debt of the Company—the remainder, after providing for the payments due to the Sinking Fund, having been contribu ted from the profits of the Road. The erection of a passenger station at Pitts burgh and one at Lancaster, a warehouse at Johnstown, and the extension of the second track from Barree to Petersburg or Huntingdon, as also the coat of reaching a Delaware termi nus, will require an expenditure to be provided for in 1860.

It is estimated by the General Superintendent that the cost resulting from such an arrangement <and by which the road con be operated in three divisions) would be fully covered by the saving effected in the motive power and transportation departments in a single year.
