The Washington Honnmeßt at Bfchmoad Governor Peirpoint has sent to the Vir ginia Legislature file following letter from Randolph Rogers, the sculptor, who had contracted; before the rebellion, with the State of Virginia, to finish Crawford’s mo nument to’ Washington at Richmond: ■ Nov. 10,1865. — To his Excellency, Peirpoint, Governor of-the Stale of Virginia : Sib—Alter a.lapse of more than fiveyears,! againtahe up my pen to write to the Governor of "Virginia on the subject of the Washington monument; the comple tion of which; after the death of Mr. Craw ford, was intrusted to me, and entered into between the State of Virginia and mvselC I.now write for thepurpose of stating the position of the case and the con dition of the work. My last letter to the commissioners, before the war was da ted March 7th, 1861. 1 then stated that X had just received a letter from Miller, the bronze founder at Munich, stating that the statue of Marshall had been "completed in bronze, and would be forwarded to Rotter dam without delay, and that Nelson was nearly finished, and that IJewia would be ready for shipping before the Ist of July; also, that two of theallegorical statues,with military trophies, had. been for several “onths in the hands of the bronze founders and I believe they were very well advanced. I can bow say that the statue of Marshall was forwarded to Rotterdam, as above stated, and upon which I have all this time Pfiyine neavy storage and insurance. , At the time the statue arrived in Rotter dam the aspect of political matters was so threatening that I was advised not to send it forward, for fear of seizure and oonfisea tlon. The statues of kelson and Lewis have been finished and packed ready for ship ping ever since the summer of 1861. Upon the balance due upon which, and one of the allegorical figures and trophies finished and another advanced, I am expected to pay in terest since that time; My contract with the State of Virginia is in substance as follows: For casting in bronze the statue of Mason after the plaster model by Crawford, - - - - $l 5OO 00 For casting in bronze the statue of ’ Marshall. - - _ For modeling and casting in urouze ! the, statue of Nelson, - . t For modeling and casting in bronze the statue of Lewis, - - 9,000 00 For six allegorical figures, with ; military trophies, ss,oooeach, - 30,000 00 .Boxing, baling, insurance and transportation to Richmond, - 3,500 00 w - - . §60,500 00 Keceived from State of Virginia, §22,399 95 Balance due, < - - - - §38,100 05 .

I have since paid him £319, leaving a balance due him of about 8,000 gold dol i&lSt * On the payment of the £319, Miller al allowed me to send forward the statue of Marshall, whioh has been lying so long at Rotterdam, and would be willing to send forward the others could I fix upon a certain time when he conld receive the balance. “ I do not ask the State of Virginia to pay anything more until the works are received in Richmond, as per oontract, but I must know pat the money will be forthcoming when the works are delivered, otherwise, I shall make a bad figure with my creditors.

Times J • , The firm of Biker, & Co., mining stock brokers at No. 80 Broadway, is well known to the business community of Wall street and.vioinity as one of the largest establish ments in the business. For the last few months they have employed as confidential clerk and head book-keeper a young man named Charles Cady, who, as his references were first-class,.and his antecedents beyond reproach, was trusted to the fullest extent by the firm. Indeed, so' great was the confidence with which he was- fhvored, that he was intrusted with the only key to the fire-proof safe in which; all the-funds. certificates of stock, <fcc„ belonging to the bouse, were deposited. Oaths afternoon of Wednesday, the 28th of November, he went to the principal of the firm, and represent mg that be felt very much fatigued from the excessive labors of his office of late, said that he would like to go away a little earlier than usual that day; more than that, he was going to be married in the evening to a young lady who resided at New Brunswick, N. J. He very much desired the favor of being'allowed to leave thus early: in order that he might arrive at his Intended bnde’B house in good season: and further, he requested to be allowed leave of ab seoce until the Friday afternoon follow ing, when he would return at an early hour and resume his. duties. To this very modest request, under the circumstances, Mr.Kiker readily assented, and Cady left instanter. taking care first to lock the safe and put the key In his pocket. This was not discovered, however, until after he had gone and. ofr course, was chargeable:in the minds oThls employers to the very naturalforgetfulness likely to attend one under a oca peculiar circumstances—he was in such&hurrv to get to the cars in time, they thoughfcthat he had forgotten in his haste to leave the key. Thanksgiving Day had passed, and Friday (»me, and as the concern was pressed for the detivery of certfficates of stock,, which were Becurely locked np In the sate, they began to watch anxionaly for the book-keeper’s return, meantime beatinz thehr customers to have a little patience-- saying. that Mr. Cady had always been prompt and faithful; that he had promised to return at an early hour,and would snrelv not delay, especially when hediscovered the predicament in which his forge trainees had placed his employers. The afternoon, however, had passed away and still Mr Cady was not heard from. Perhaps he had missed the train, or, becoming a little elated, had perhaps indulged too freely at the wedding feast, and not having yet fallv recovered from the effects of his “spree ” he had determined to remain over nigfit and return to the city next mornihg. thought, he would be at his desk the next day. Saturday rolled around, and still the book-keepers place was vacant A horrid suspicion then began to show itself in the minds of the members of toe firm. Perhaps, after all, what they had supposed to have been for getfulness might have been the work of de sign. At any rate, the suspense was un bearable, and they resolved to know the worst of the matter. They accordingly sent for a skillful blacksmith, who, after almost herculean efforts succeeded finally in open rng the safe, wheD.lo! it was discovered that not less than $lOO,OOO, and perhaps a greater amount, represented by certificates of gold mining shares In first-class compa nies, had been abstracted from the safe, This fact ascertained thenext question to be solved waa u Where was Cady?

The flames communicated to the large 3-story brlok building used as a trunk and carpetbag manufactory by Jaoob La gowitz, and also to several immense piles oflumber on the outside of the building.the property of Mr. Lagowitz. The lower part of the building, and a considerable portion or the lumber and machinery, were de stroyed, involving a loss of fully $20,000. was insured for §25,000, of Wlfioh $5,000 is held by Newark Companies, and the balance by New York and Phila delphia Companies.

The origin of the fire is supposed to have been spontaneous com- Emigration.-—A letter from New Orleans says: More emigrants are arriving. On Wednesday arrived the bark Arracan, with 203 German immigrants, and the Auguste, with 327, Both vessels are from Bremen, Bremenhavin. Having* seen so many arrivals from JSlgmen in my earlier days,! was surprised to find that the old town was very far up the river Weser, and that the shipß only - went to its seaport, Bremen haven. A singular circumstance is con nected with the voyage of these vessels. Both oleared on the same day, both were detained 33 days in the North Sea by heavy weather, both were eighty days on the ocean, and arrived here within a few hours of each other. The most of these immigrants went up the river to the West. It is a pity these men could not have been induced to remain in the South. John Shephard, the pedestrian, in at tempting to Valk one hundred and ten con- Becutive hours, at Savannah. Ga., fell at 8.53 Pi M., Saturday, losing by one hour and seven minutes.

The gentleman returned the same evening to Havana, and immediately went to the ware house of Mr. Vila to ask why he had re mained behind, and was thunderatrnok when they informed him that his body had just been found floating in the bay, having the pockets rifled of his watch, chain anc money. If this had happened in New 2?. an y, other large city in the United States the Detective Police would soon work this matter up, but as vre have no such efficient institution here, and as P?bce officers,with very few exceptions, 5 1110 bri Bbtest, the matter will un donbtediy remain a mystery forever. If the Government would organizes good De tective Police and use them strictly for criminal raises, the city would be greatly benefited by it. Heretofore, the Secret Po bas been used only for political objects, and have been little better than a company of spies. Another man, who looked like an American, was also found dead in the bay in front of the Cortina de Valdes, but has not been identified as yet.

Such occurrences have become very common, and the killing of foreigners by the lower classes of Span iards is not considered by them as a great crime, and they are only heretics. 6 r POLITICAL.

He will be necessary to their success, they urge at the next Presidential election.
