WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT The following remarks, relative to the plans and ob. , Jects of the Washington National Monument Associa- - lion, were handed us a few days ago, and we take pleasure is laying them before our readers. .The board of managers have determined to resume the collections which have been for some time suspen ded. It is proper to state, for the information ~ o f the people, that the amount of Aimee Subscriptions' have been profitably invested, and now furnish a fund of about 860,000. The delay in cornntencing the' Monu ment has.been occasioned by the want of a proper site on which to-erect it. This difficulty is now obviated. The object is to erect at the. Seit of Government, a Monument which shall, by its colossal magnitude and Imposing grandeur, exhibit to the remotest ages the gra titude of a nation of freemen, to a man whose exalted • good 'sense and pure virtues have FO pre-eminently. contribtweil to- their happiness. It is true that the "storied urn, the animated bust," or the splendid mau soleum cannot call hack the departed spirit, or "soothe the dull cold ear of death," but it is equally true, that it does manifest the veneration of the living for those who have passed away fwever from the stage of life, • and left behind them the cherished memory of their . citizens. The chaid.cter of Washington is identified with the glory and greatness of his country—lt bnlongs to history, into which it has infused a Moral grandeur I. and beauty. ° It is not to transmit the name or taine'of • -the illustrious Washington to future ages, that a Moan ment should be erected to his memory, but to show that the people of this republic are. not ungrateful, and that :t° they desire to manifest their love of eminent 'public and ,Private virtues by some enduring memorial, which, ,11 like the pyramids of Egypt, shall fatigue time by its t,—duration. T. J. Fenn, Esq., of Harrisburg, has been appointed the agent of the association, to solicit and , receive subscriptions for this Congressional District. and will call personally on our citizen's for such con , tributiotis as they may feel willing to make in furtberl • mice, of the praiseworthy . object. A MODERN MIRACLE! SERMIVIN ifl STONEN.—"Shakbpeare read "sermons ' In-stones," but we doubt whether he ever dreamt of deriving a rope from the same-source. And yet if a • "sermon," why . not a "long yarn r' Modern inge- lies not found it a thing impossible.

It will always be found that a wire twisterkin itaslf will be materially weakened in' proportion to the num ber of twists in a, given length. This machinery has the importaneadvantages - of not witty effectually preventing the wires from being individually twisted, but by lay ing se'•eral wires into a strand and several strands into a Rope, at one and the same time, it will make a much mctni — perfect Rope than when the strands are first flthritt — finditilieriVards laid into a Rope by Mind.

Mr. T. is a Teacher of some twenty, years' practical experience, and has based the leading 'principles and arrangement of the book upon the actual deficienczei of others, and the known objects of practical business-education. 41i its examples and Problems are adziptadco the present dines, and the Value of our currency—the pound"; still, tinge and pence of the old Colonial government being. almost entirely omitted. The student or private , learner is therefore ingoduced 'at once to our own times and currency, and the examples being mostly Ulustrahve of 'every day-business transactions, he is enabled to wts and understand thoroughly the different relation■ of the figures, and the rules defining their .value. Thus, the brickmaker. „joiner, mason, carpenter, slater, plasterer, tiler, painter, blacksmith, &c. will 'find examples by which almost any. bthsinessaalculation May be resolved' at once, and the nature of a job or contract clearly dem onstrated. There is almost an entire abandonment of the theory and puzzle which usually mark otl4r works of similar character, and the eubstitution of practical common-sense—by which the learnei is made to com prehend the true object of the exercise, and rendded fathiliar with the nature of business. While many of the arithmetics now in use am merely compilations from former works, (some of them abridg ments of English copy-tights) this book is perfectly original, and exclusively American in character and design;--adapted to our actual wants, our tastes, currency and nut feelings. • ' Certificates of apprOal and comme ndat ion, (Sufficient to fill a• volume) have been received from persons of the highest respectability and scolastic attainments, inmur country, many of them connected with the leading Academies and Colleges of the Northern and New Eng land Stales.

' - ANECDOTE Or A RAT. I . . An incident occurriql the other day in our composing room, which forcibly' illustrates the mischievous inge nuity of the rat tribe.

At'the cellar-4160t we haVe a trough in which the candle=sticks are !deposited, and at the bark end Of the room, under the flniposizig-stone, some . five OF-811 pounds of candles are kept in a boodle_ The rats were always welcome to stutti spoliation! as could be had from the candle-sticks,' bui we were alway s op , posed to their interfering with tile five- pqund bundle. 1 For some time past, howeier; they have been carrying on arranginents below the floor, mmediately under the bundle, with the view of makin a hostile demonstra tion in that quart 4. flut,'ontrtunately, `there was something yet between the floor and the Candles, and 1 suspecting the fact, as we presume, they spldenly ceas ed of.ierations and despatched one of their body, a ven erable sleek looking chap, to make a inpaaraithical survey of the position, and re:iort accordingly.

Elmo* p—We design occasionally to pen a few lines on various subjects, which if meeting your anpro batiori may be allotteti a corner in your valuable Journal. If not disproVed our main object will be"answered, viz: to renew an exercise once occupyinpitieh of our time, which we found profitable, at leasii ffc-a mental point of view. We have chosen for our present subject., 6e Sons of the Forest, the Red map, the untutored chilettif datum. There it something intuitively itapressiCe in looking upon a, noble mould, containinrah indistructable pro. perty, and standing out in foremost ground untainted by the effeminancy of art, and' untiaminelted by fictitious or arbitrary usage: The thought associated with such a spectacle is, that it proudly rests upon its own legiti mate bails, and sustains ita character independent of foreign influence. Admiration succeeds as a natural se. quence what is generally impressive in such en exhibi- Lion, and holds the predotninence, however long the at tention maybe directed to the object. With no intel lectual being can the traits We'have named be found so closely and largely identified as in the Aborigines- of our country in their prinhtive state. When we say primitive, we mean so far so as still admits of. their roaming ad libitum; without fixed habitation, without association with the white man; making the dark,lone ly forests the chosen places of their repose, and its soli tude their happiness and 'fancied security. We do not., intend to go into the history 'of these wild children of nature—this may be obviated, for their annals, since civilization found them, are written in their own blood, and in deeply drawn characters. We would pass by what they have passed - through, as a people, at the hands of those profesiang to be their superiors in jus tice, and all that adorns, human nature ; not wishing to ' excite humanity'ivear at the recital of their wrongs and Misery. It will 'devolve upon the future historian to do tire poor Indian justice ; and when the- excitement and prejudice and passion in usual exercise in the usutha-, tion of territory, shall give place to calm reflection, and an exercise othonestjudgment, the blush will be raised upon many an 'Americanl cheek, at a palicy.enactedand carried out against an unoffending people, the develop ment of which has driven the iron into the very soul.— But again, we would say, that an analysis Of the gener al history of the Aboriginals of our country is not the design of our remarks at the present time ; and we will pass on to the ground we intended to select as our at i ena of observation. Our earliest recollections are associa ted with the red man. A powerful tribe had their semi- annual rendezvous in the town of our nativity, tli,d often three nr foitr hundred would be present on leks important occasions. And during the last ten years, in our varied exclusions, we have met with members of . almost 'every tribe on the NOrth American Continent. By being early impressed with the originality and real grandeur of the Indian character, we have ever, since loved to trace their history, meet them, observe their action, and listen lb their talks. It to well known, that In stature, the Aboriginals of our country are generally formidable, combining fine symmetry of proportion, and'. possessing strorigly marked and most expressive coun vett:it-lees'. They possess large ideality—hence their s - beautififf figures, and figurative language. They have beet' termed natural logicians; and no intelligent per son can fail to detect, in listening to them, a severe or der of logic, not a superfluous word can be detected, and the structure of language would often do credit to the most able rhetoriciasl Thiry possess pass ion in a large degree-thence their Usually impassioned address. They abound in gesture; and these, are of the most graceful :and dignified character. It will he seen, in the mum ' eration we have made of the physical and mental qual ities of the Indian, that they possess in an eminent de gree the properties necessary to make up the true Ora tor; and this they are. It will be conceded that those representations and appeals are most effective,which the greatest degree secures the attention and,arousee the feelings of an auditory; this may be regarded as genuine oratory. And when we read of our councils, !acre the - Chiefs and Brsves stalked majestically kith ' rand poured into the ears of their peop:e their thoughts and views,.and designs. grow ing more fervid and ardent in their harangues - , until an intensity of excited feeling was produced, it is right to call this oratory, and of the highest Stamp. Civilized blood has paid dear for many such emanations, and terior and alarm have followed their utterance in times of open 'hostility, with the pre cision of cause and effect. When speaking of the intel lectual power of the Indian, and its display, it must be kept in view that its untutored, uneducated condition is what we are endeavoring to describe. And yet, unaided by such strong and important auxiliary, some passages from their addresses have been pronounced by the most • talented and highly educated of our countrymen, as • equal to any thing spoken or written by Cicero or Demos thenes. Jefferson said, that the Valedictory of Logan, based tipbti the cruelty of some of our troops, which caused 'the butchery of his family, the burniiiof Ins wigwam, and the destruction of his corn fields, when he had proved himself to be our friend, excelled in elo quence and pathos, any thing he ever heard In 'hnman production. And now, when there are assemblages of Chiefs to entity or make, important treaties with our Government, it scarcely ever fails, that smile ideal and touching eloquence, and some unanswerable logic is not intnaduced. In philosophy the Indiast-e'n stoic ; never giving utterance to complaintrder s'nffering,and • never smiling except in derision. But we'r;:ntust leave the poor Indian, although we have 'Riardly commenced saying anti citing what the world wish in regard to this scattered and shadowed race. They are fast_fiegener ating in physical and mental power, and in point of nu merical strength. Civilikation has proved a sad inno vation upon their pristine condition and happiness. It is, too, pushing them onward, as the white man wants or claims more terntniy, until theY.must be Wasted by injusiice, or place their tilush frail canoes noon the broad Pacific to seek out a resting place in other and stranger lands. It is a dark commentasy upon the as sumed prerOgaiives of civilized beings, that it carries along, in its conquests of new country, the seeds of so cial and physical disrupture and death. On this conti nent it has trampled down a noble race ; and unless a beneficent. Providence interposes they will soon be, spo ken of as a people that were. F. ANOTHER LETTER FROM GEN. TAYLOR The New York Courier speaks of a letter of General Taylor to the Hon. Jos. XL. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, which it has limped for sonic time--past, to 'obtain a copy of, but has been 'disappointed, "and for reasons which may be hereafter stated." The general tenor and subrestoee, howevet, it is permitted to Impart to its readers. The letter is dated the 3d of August, 1847, At the . Headquarters of the Army of Occupation In Mexico. It commences by slating thaehe (Gen. Taylor) is "a Whig,. not an ultra Partisan Whig, but a decided Whig," that no one could have observed the debate in the Congress . of thelast n session on the attempt to eekt sure him for, he:capittilation of Monterey, conducted main Won "party grounds," and,doubt.

Taylor proceeds then to define his present po sition--.that be.doen not think himself qualified for the. . • • Presidency.; that he wolld wiiiinglynostpone his name to secure the election of Mr. Clay or any ofthe distin ~trished men of the same school now presented to the • 'public.

A couple of young ladies, whose high spirits are equalled only by their beau ty; and who love an innocent prank with intimate friends. hive really seen "the elephant," the modus operandi of which will not soon •be forgqtten by .them; , Just at twilight they . called at the Ocean House to see a gentleman and his wife, and, as usual, proceeded to their private parlor. Upon entering, they saw a . gentleman with his back to the door, and presuming it was their friend, they silently approached,and one clapped her hands over,his eyes, the others seizing his hands. The gentleman struggled manfully. but taken by surprise, for some time his efforts to free him self were fruitless.. At length, after a . severe tus sel,•his tormentors laughing right merrily the while, he shook hie captors off, ,and confronted them. The laughing instantly ceased; and ga - ve place to solemn looks •and deep blushes. The "Axed fact" stared them in the face, that instead of their frtead, they bad been playing their pranks upot, a total stranger, none other than a judicial digni tary—His Honor Judgf , Ward.

This is under the sup position that he hat little discretion until he gets it from his wife!. By the same, process of reason; ing, they allow him to vote as soon as he i ll . l4ls a wife, the fact of his marrying being taken as ev idence that he has come to the use, if not years, of discretion.

E%-.7 Ladies Kissing each other —For our part we see no particular objection to the custom the ladies have of kissing each other—except that we think it is a usurpation of the righti or the Lords of creation. About "street kissingt' we. have not made up our minds however, although the , Editor of the New• England Aurora has. Hear him ; "Pretty women kiss one • another on coming into a room, because it is a graceful cue. tom; they do the same on going away because they are delighted to lose sight of each other. It may be better for them to kiss each other "in doors," but to see a group of ladies stop in the in "broad daylight," anttintlict upon each other the hypocritical kiss appears to' us to be disgasting and superlatively silly. Such occ9r ' rences frequently. transpire within our observation. It looks like cannibals essaying to • gormandize each other, as it is nearly as much fraught with 'goys"' as are many of those eating 'ceremonies. A kiss is glorious in its place. The sacred code lays: .-Salute one another with holy afTction" -4p believe those are the words—but dosn't say, 'engorge' each other," nor .'leave the sting of nalice upon the face of her whom you salute." t-7" Gen.
