Another Washingrfon Monnmenl. The cornpr-stone for a monument,,to Washinprton was laid in Philadelphia, in 1F25, by Lafayette, and there it is .yet, just as the old Marquis laid it, nearly thirty years ago. A fond was by some means raised at the time, •which is Raid to have accumulated till it amounted to $41,000, and a movement is bein# made for the completion of the work.

This monument building we look upon as a bad sign. There is too much of it in our day. It is

pretty sure indication that the people who indulge it are barbaric, or that they are declining in national and individual virtue.— The reason we know tio more about the ancient Egyptians, is because they spent all their time in tanning the.murnniiea of their grandfathers. When Rome fell to pieces on account of her excessive corruption, her monuments and statuas were almost as numerous as lier people. And it is

tru2

of us that the more we

disrelish the doctrines of our forefathers, and the more wo depart from their examples, the more we seek to compromise with forfeited dignity, by paying great, empty honors to their names. Turning the memories of tho groat and good into stone, is the poorest way in the world to preserve them. Antiquity has tried that experiment satisfactorily. Wt ought not to be satisfied with past glory, but should be ambitious to manufacture a now stock. We must have moro American heroes. The monu.' mental epoch ought not to be admitted at so early a date in our history, for be it remembered, the monumental ago of a nation never commences till the heroic ago has passed.

America is too young to wear spectacles and if she must have monuments, let her await the becoming time lether wait till her history is classic, till there are fewer tnen walking among us who have seen Washington face to fjice and till moss, ivy and owls, preaching from tho cracked walls of pyramids, utter a more vital oratory than the printed page and the living voice.

Persians have declar

ed against Turkey, in consequence of a direct promise of the Czar to remit their debt, and restore disputed territory. They place 30,,000 troops nt the Czar's disposal.

Turkey has forbidden the exportation of grain. Lord Palmeraton has resigned his seat in the British Cabinet. It is stated positively that Kossuth left London for Constantinople on tho 23d of December. An insurrection has broken out in Crimea in favor of Turkey.]

Mr. Souli', American Minister at Madrid, has fought a duel with M. Turgot, the French Minister. His son also fought with the Marquis Alba. Nobody hurt.

The Frcnoh British and Turkish fleets entered tho Black Sea, on the 30th of Di-c., with hostile design, it is supposed, on Sebastopol. Tho contending armies had an*engagement at Kalafat, in which the Russians are said to have lost 4000 men. Great displays of valor on both sides.

O* Orestes A. Bronson is announced in the St. Louis papers, as about to commence

RI* OTOE ETAVS

—It is with sorrow that

have to record the death of

Hew Book*

TIPFLFTONIA. and Iht Countries adjacent considered Historically, Geographic/!IIy, Politically and Morally—by one who has been there.

Such is the title of a new book, now in press, in Cincinnati, a few sheets of which we have been favored wifli in advance of publication. "Tippleionia," is a Temperance Allegory, of decided merit and we may say of it as Dr. Johnson said of "Paradise Lost," as an epic— it is not the best allegory that ever was written, only because it was not the first.

It traces the progress of the tippler from the salubrious up-country of "Soberland," through all his various migrations down to the "Gulj of Infamy." The satire is abundant, keen and happy, and leaves unscorched hardly any thing conrected with the liquor traffic, and the disgusting habits of the inebriate, through all the phases of his downard progress. The style is remarkable for its unpretending simplicity, and bears the true Saxon stamp.,

The book will be prefaced by a neat "map ingeniously delineating the geography of 'Tippletonia.' showing the meandering of its rivers, and all the points of interest described in the text. Nobody who reads the lirst two chapters will be willing to lay down the book till he has read it through. We predict for it a wide popularity, and an extensive sale.

The following extract is a happy bit at liquor legislation as hitherto practiced:

AN ACT to incorporate the Rum River and Gallows Hill l'lank Road Company. SEC. I. Be it enacted by the Senate and

Home of Representatives of Tippletonia, That Peter Pickpocket of Pauperton, Caleb Catchpenny of Bloat, and Gustavus Graball. of Gougersville. and their associates, be and they are hereby constituted a body politic and corporate, with perpetual succession, by the name and style of the Rum River and Gallows Hill Plank Road Company.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted. That said Company shall have power to construct and maintain a plank road, expressly to accommodate the increasing travel, from the town of Flip, on the upper waters of R\im River, to Gallows Hill, on Cape Vagabond, in the department of Guzzle Green.

SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That for the privilege of constructing and maintaining said road, and taking toll thereon, each member of said Company shall pay into the treasury of the county in which he resides annually, from five to fitty. dollars, every man according to his several ability, accordingly as Providence has blessed his business and increased his store of worldly goods.

SEC. 4. And be it further enacted. That said Company shall enjoy the exclusive monopoly of carrying passengers from the Hum River country to Gallows Hill, and may use all means in their power to induce people to travel by that route.

SEC. 5. And be it further enacted, That said Company shall have power to construct a branch of their road to Pauperton, whenever, they shall think the public good requires it.

SEC. 6. And be it further enacted, That said Company may carry passengers on said road lor which they may charge any amount of fare they can get, the payment of which may be enforced by distress and sale of the goods and chattels, lands and tenements of any traveller on said road. If any traveller's money gives out on the way and any toll gatherer shall have reason to suspect that he can get no more from him. even by taking the last piece of bread from his children, such toll gatherer may lay hold on such traveller, and tumble him into any ditch then and there being.along the margin of said road, unless his fare shall be paid, as provided in the next section.

SEC. 7. And be it further enacted. That, whereas it is a matter of importance to the State that every traveller from Rum River to Gallows Hill should arrive at the end of his journey, by some means, therefore, whenever the company shall refuse to furnish a passenger with a through ticket, he shall be transported the remainder of the distance at the public expense in which case the sheriff of the proper county, upon th" order of any court having jurisdiction of the subject, shall furnish a suitable vehicle, and convey him to bis destination. Provided, That the expense of transporting any one passenger, in manner aforesaid, shall not exceed a thousand dollars, or so.

SEC. 8. -find br it further enacted. That all moneys necessary to be raised for carrying passengers, as provided in the last section, shall be assessed and collected as other taxes and those ttho never patronise the road shall pay their assessments without grumbling.

SEC. 9. ,And be it further enacted. That children may travel on said road whenever thay can do so, without the knowledge or consent of their parents or guardians if such consent, can be had. so much the better. In cither ease the Company shall furnish them all proper facilities.

The State of Cherokee, the State of Kansas, and the State of Nebraska. were, to our knowledge, produced and christened on Christinas day.' There is an old legend, produced in th6 Intelligencer to-day, to the effect that 9 child born on Christmas day. when Christmas happens to fall on Sunday, will become a lord. The territories conceived on such a day are certainly destined to become sovereign States—perhaps empire Slates.

The committee have, however, a very delicate duty to perform, in regard to the terms on which the territories are to come in. To revive the old Missouri controversy is not desirable. How to avoid it is the question. The committee think that they can get over it by placing the new territories precisely on the same basis with the territories of New Mexico and Utah— that is, neither excluding nor admitting slavery. Climate and nature, and the necessary pursuits of the people who are to occupy the territories, will settle the question—and these will effectually ex elude slavery. n,

of last week says that considerable exertion ^as made this year to excel that office in the ornamenting of New Years Addresses, but without success and wishes the public to understand that the Courier office is the place where the neatest and best job-work is done. We were not aware before of any competition, but are aware that our printers were, at that time, so driven by orders for "neat" jobs, that they had no time to spend in exercising their ingenuity upon such trifles. We give the Courier credit for a very pretty border around its Address, and admit that it well sustains the reputation of that establishment—of having much smarter printers than poets.

A MAK OF TA6TK.—Hon. D. R. Atchison, President of the U. S. Senate, has sent to Louisville for a barrel of Old Bourbon Whiskey. That it might be the genuine stuff," twentyseven samples were tasted by gentlemen appointed for the purpose.

But then what a rush there would be for the offices I

GROWTH OF CHICAGO.—A recent census of Chicago exhibits an increase of population, truly astonishing. The ratio of increase for the last fifteen months has been fifty-seven per cent! In 1840, the population was only 4,479 now it is up to 60,652. The salubrity of the climate, the enterprising character of the people who have settled it, its location at the western extremity of Lake navigation, and the ten railroads which centre there, are among the causes of this almost fabulous growth.

CINCINNATI RIOT.—The result of investigations of the late"Bedini riot" at Cincinnati, shows that the men composing the procession were guilty of an untimely and improper exhibition of th' ir disapprobation of the Nuncio, rather than a deliberate intention to break the peace. The unhappy issue of the affair was brought about by the haste of the police force, a large portion of which was composed of Catholics, and therefore actuated by a zeal extra-official. The alleged rioters were acquitted on trial.

REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS—The total number of soldiers furnished by the several colonies during the revolutionary war, was 231,791. Massachusetts supplied the largest number, nearly 68,000 Connecticut was next, about 32,000 Virginia next, 26,000.

It is supposed that there are less than 1400 of these veterans now surviving, and it is computed that in eighteen years they will all have been swept off or, if any remain at that time, they will hav^ attained the age of 107 to 110

SIGNOR BOTTA, the Italian historian, is now in this country. The object of his visit is to gain authentic information of our school systems, and the different religious sects and institutions of America.

.DATTON. Jan. 5.

About noon'to-aay. the new three story brick buildings, on Third street, opposite the Telegraph office, occupied by E. Brown & Son and N. S. Lockwood, as Iron and Stove Stores, fell in with a tremendous crash, burying in its ruins some ten or twelve persons, including two tailors, who were working in an adjoining shop.

Geo. W. Withers and A.Jennings were crushed to death and Mr. Buck, one of the proprietors of the iron store, was taken from the ruins about four o'clock this afternoon. and his skull was so badly fractured that he lived but a 6hort time.— Four or five others are badly injured and it is feared tlu re are more beneath the rubbishv^Two ladies with their husbands narrowly escaped from the store. N. S. Lockwood escaped through the back door. Mr. Brown was not in the building at the time. There were many other hair-breadth escapes. _j,

The Methodist Church adjoining, was badly injured about two feet of the wall fell in on the pews damaging the building to the amount of $2000.

The building was owned by Mr. Gorman. and was valued at $15,000. and is a total loss. The loss to the occupants is estimated at $8,000.

The Paris correspondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer says: Political arrests are still daily made in Paris and the departments. The republicans are every where very busy. It is whispered that the failure of the Emperor to inaugurate in person, as was promised, the new boulevard just opened in Paris, was caused, on Saturday, by a conspiracy to make, on tha' occasion, another attempt on his life—quite likely. I see that there is a project afoot to establish a new journal in Paris, to be printed both in Spanish and French, and intended especially for circulation in South America. The leading idea of the new sheet is to be, the opposition to what they please to style, "the invasive policy of the United States," and support of "European interests in the new world." It is whispered that the funds necessary for the establishment of this paper, and those which will be required for its support, over and above the subscription money, will come from Madrid and London.

The present critical state of European affairs will render these publications unusually interesting during the year 1854. They will occupy a middle ground between the hastily written news-items, crude speculations, and flying rumors of the daily Journal, and the ponderous Tone of the future historian, written after the living interest and excitement of the great political events of the time shall have passed away. It is to these Periodicals that readers must look for the only really intelligible and reliable history of current events, and as such, in addition to their well established literary, scientific, and theological character, we urge them upon the consideration of the reading public.

Arrangements are in progress for the receipt of early sheets from the British Publishers, by which we shall be able to place all our Reprints in the hands of subscribers, about as soorras they can be furnished with the foreign copiSfc. Although this will involve a very large outlay on our part, we shall continue to furnish the Periodicals at the same low rates as heretofore, viz: perann.
