THE Board ot .Managers nflheiraaA install National Monumental Society invite DESIGNS for thii structure, inten ded as a memorial ot a NATION'S GRATITUDE. It would be to fetter genius, to prescribe any limits to the exercise ol i'.s powers, which shoulJ, however, in this case, har moniously blend durability, simplicity and grandeur. Although it is impracticable at present to estimate the extent of the con ti Unit ions that may be made, the Design!" may be predicated on an expenditure of not less than one million of dollars. The Board of Managers w ill not offend American genius so much as to offer, in this instance, a pecuniary rewatd. The artist, whose Design shall be adopted, will feel amply remunerated; and all the De signs w ill be bound and carefully preserved t whirl, end. it is recniested thht they be sketched, as near as may be. on paper of a uniform size, ol the dimensions by twenty-two inches.

By the Jacksonville Cour ier of Sept. 29th, we learn that the Indians have destroyed and got complete possession of the entire country south of St. Augustine, Picoluta, Black Creek and New nansville. The Editor believes that their desolating course is now about to be checked. The present position of the military forces is thus given: The T enuesste volunteers with Gov. Call at their head, are at Sttganee Old Town. Gen. Jessup vuth the U. S. Troops and Creek Indians, is at Tampa or on the Ouithlachuchy. The Troops in this section, under Major Fierce, are expecting orders daily to march. Col. Downing, aid to Gov. Call, will with a proper es cort, reach this place Sund.ty next, on his way to join the Commander-in-Chief. Warlike stores are being deposited at different points. The wot k goes braely on. Gov.

From Charleston. The Chol era had so far subsided as to cease to be officially reported; the des ! miction among the colored race I has been great. A letter in this ! morning's Gazette states that Thomas Pinckuey, K?q. of San : tee, lost 48 negroes: VYm. Maz- yck, Esq. of the same place, lost 18.

The bodv ol the Bev. Evyn Roberts, of Steuben, Onei da county, was found in the Lock; at the Little Basin, this morning. An icquesl was lield, ano testimo- uy introduced, which leaves no reasonable ground to doubt but that he was murdered, robbed ol his Watch aud about $100 in money.

Jl new Article. The sloop Martha Jane Fbv, of rail River, has just arrived at this port, with a load of eggs, not heirs eggs, but those of one of the species ol aquatic birds resembling a duck, w hich are found in great abund ance on the rocky isles, on the coast of Newfoundland. They . are found upon the beaches, but mostly upon the difficult and al ,most inaccessible rocks, and ob jtaiued with no little difficulty and j danger by climbing among the fissures and rocks, beetling over the sea. These eggs are about as large as the eggs of a Turkey being full three inches in length, blunt at one end and sharp at the other, resembling in shape a pear they are of a bluish color, and spotted. They are said to be of a fine flavor, uot differing material ly from the common hen's egg, and are sold from the sloop lying at City wharf, at 25 cents per dozen. We learn from the captain that w hen the Martha Jane left, there were fourteen English sloops at Labrador loading with eggs.

The Cj 'ops in New England. Notwithstanding the alarming ac counts which have been publish ed, a correspondent in Bane, Mass. states that there will be great abundance of hay and veg etables, and more butler and cheese than usual. Potatoes will average also the usual crop, and thp corn on the rivers and high lands has not been injured. - JV. Y. Star. fJ7The Massachusetts Silk Company, incorporated only a- bout a year ago, with a capital of $150,000 have already 78,000 mulberry trees in a flourishing condition. If this is the way our Yankee brethern are ironic into farewell to the French Impor- ters!. fXTThe amount of paper offer ed for discount at the Bank of ihe state of New York on the first day of its operations amounted to $3,G0O,O0O, of which about $1, 200,000 was received. ib.

Cure for the bite of a Rattle snake. A gentleman of Illinois, assures the editor of the Illinois Spectator, that a strong solution of salipetre, used externally to the wound and also internally, is a certain remedy for the bite ofthe Rattlesnake. It may be thus em ployed where the part is swollen, and it is loo late to cut it out. ib. J"ew Coins. It is stated that the Government intends to furnish a substitute for the copper coins now in use. 1 he iew York Post says: "They are composed of that nnxtuie of copper aud silver common in many countries of the continent of Europe, and which long use has demonstrated to an swer perfectly well the purposes required. Besides the cent, w hich w ill be of the very convenient size ofthe silver dime, half cents and pieces of thf value of two cents aud a half w ill be of the satne me taiic composition. Cotton vs. Linen. There is no question but what cotton is pre ferable to linen to wear all the 3 ear round next the skin. Linen is a more rapid conductor of heat and consequently destroys the equilibrium of temperature to a dangerous extent in a climate as in this portion of the country. The Chinese amid their accustom ed heat of 1 10 degrees, always give a decided preference for col ton next the skin. jforetgn. From Europe. The New York Star says: the Orpheus, Captain Bursley, from Liverpool, arrived this morning, bringing eight days later news. The money market in London is as much deranged as it is here. The scarcity of money cou'tin- ties to be severely felt every where in the city, and limits all kinds of operations where money is con cerned. Discounts are very high; 55 per cent, and as much as 6 per cent, have been paid on bills. This satisfactorily accounts for the very little business doing on the Stock Exchange, where peo ple can get only 3 or 3 per cent, for their money. 1 per t ent, ad vance, it is said, has been paid on Consols, to be carried to the next Account, which makes in reality 12 per cent, for money. The Freneh ministry have been organized after a fashion. Count Mole h head of the Government, but Guizot will be the acting Premier-T-as much as he can un der Louis Phillipe. The other members are Persil, Hosamel, Gasparin and Durhatel. In fact, it is quite a Doctrinaire Cabinet illiberal in politics and resolved to second Louis Phillipe upon his attacks on the people aud the press. Gomez, the Carlist chief, de feated Lopez, near JJadrid, oo August 30. Lopez was wounded, aud lost 1000 men. His soldiers forced him to fight, as he wished to wait a day for a reihforcernent from Espariero. The Kurdih Chieftain in Syria, in his wars with the Egyptian Pa cha, must be a more ferocious fan atic even than the followers of Don Carlos. He roasts his prisoners, alive and the Pacha in retaliation impales all the kuras he takes. Galvanism. M. Magendie has reported to the French Academy of Sciences some successful re sults arrising from the application of galvanism to a young patient, a Polish officer, who for five years had been perfectly deaf, dumb, and deprived of all taste. Sev eral modes of treatment had been ! adopted at Vienna aud ! without success, but M. Trieste, Matren- j die, by directing the galvanic cur rent to the nerves affected, has re produced sensibility in those of hearing and taste, and is now try ing to restore the power of speech. Dreadful Sacrilege. On the I2ih September, 1776, being the eve of Sunday, on which there was to be a general communion at the cathedral church of Zurich, in Switzerland, called Memster J Kirk, many thousands were ex pected there to partake of it; the wine was prepared and brought to the church to be ready against the morning; but in the mean time an incarnate devil dared to lav hands on the sanctuary of the Lord, and poisoned all the wine. In the morning, when the sacra ment was administered, there was a horrid consternation; several fainted away on the spot, several vomited; several taken with a vio lent cholic; and in short, the whole city was thrown into the utmost confusion. Upon this an experiment was tried, and the poison discovered. About eight died of the poison; aud had not the bad taste of the wine given early notice of the intended mis chief, many more must have per ished: still some hundreds were dangerously ill. After a strict examination, it was discovered that one Wirtz, a grave-digger, was the perpetrator of this diabol ical deed, with a view to promote his business, which had been slack for some time. Strength of the Human Frame. At the late anniversary of the opening of the Surrey Zoological Gardens, some amazing feats of strength were exhibited by two Frenchmen. One of them sue- ' cessfully resisted the united efforts of two horses to drag him from a platform on which he was lying; and the other, while suspended by his feet from a crossbeam raised into the air a horse of ordinary-size.
