The importance of increasing our scfiool

posing ceremonies, and already considerable
progress has been made in the gigantic worll.
The cost of the Obelisk, which is first to lie
"completed, is estimated at 552,000. Its di
mensions are 55 feet square at the hotlorri, with
walls 15 feet thick on every side, leaving
cavity within 25 feet square. The outside
.walls contract regularly one quarter inch per

Obelisk, at 500 feet in height, 34 feel square,
and ihe walls 4 feet ihickr The outer surface
of face of the Obelisk iscomposed of while
rriarhle of superior quality, cut in large blocks
and laid up with uniform regularity. The in
ner wall is. composed of blue gneiss, a beauti
ful building stone of the most durable quality.
I ne rant neon, contemplated in tbegrand JJe
sign, embraces a circular colonnaded building
250 feet in diameler, and 100 feet high, from
which springs the Obelisk shaft, ihus givingfjo
ibe latter a total elevation of 600 feet.
The vast rotunda, forming the grand base of
the .Monument, is surrounded by 30 columns of
massive proportions, being 12 feel in diameter
and 45 feel high, elevated upon a lofty basefpr
stylohate of 20 feet elevation and 200 feet
square, surmounted by an entablature 20 feet
high, and crowned by a massive balustrade

The terrace outside of the colonnade is 125

Extraordinary success in Curing Can
cers. Dr. Gilbert, whose frequent success
in curing cancers, without the use of knife
or other cutting instrument, has been re
ferred to in this paper, took us yesterday
toi see the most horrible case of thisjoath
sdme, disease we have ever witnessed, and
which is in a fair way of recovering.
A' young man had a cancer, which grew
out at the base of his nose, so as entirely
to blind him. and to coyer two thirds of
his face.K He was reduced to- the last
stage of suffering, and had been given up
as utterly incurable, by the most eminent
surgeons of the West and of this city.
They told him he had only to lay down
and die that the operation of cutting
would cause his 'death, and that was all
that they could do for him. At this point.
Dr. Gilbert was called in, and commenced
attending the case. It immediately began
to assume a .promising appearance, and

their votes away, as usual, General Taylor
would have carried the Slate by twenty thou

the general fact, that the Locofocos, and not
the Whigs, have ever profitted by the action
of the Abolitionists. Without the indirect as
sistance derived lromthem,the Locofocos would
not have been able lo eleel Mr. Polk. The
election of Mr. Polk produced the war with
Mexico, and the present agitation is one of the
inevitable results of that war, foretold by the
Whigs, in all its length and breadth. The Lo
cofocos, then, are responsible for the present
unhappy condition of things, but their instrti
mentrality would have been ineffectual with
out the assistance of Abolitionism. In no de
gree and in no sense are the Whigs, as a par
ty, responsible for any of the movements of the
fanatics of the North. They have neither fo
mented nor encouraged abolition organizations
in a single State. On the contrary, they nev.
er sympathized with them ; and foreseeing the
evil consequences of this species of agitation,
they have discountenanced and resisted it by
all proper means. As we have before said,
this is well known to the editors of the Union ;

When the rich gold mines of California were
discovered, (fays the Baltimore Clipper) it
was boasted, lhat they would enable the United
States to pay off the whole debt contracted in
the war with Mexico ; hot so far ihe public
treasury has received little or no benefit from
the discovery. If the mines being to the pub
lie it would be but right that they should be
brought under the control of government in
some shape, so as to contribute somewhat to
the public treasury. They are now winked by
Americans and foreigners forlheir own exclu
sive benefit ; and much of the gold found is pent
to Kngland and other countries. It is the on.
ly instance on record, we suspect, wheie gold
mines of such immense value, have beeu
thrown open to the world ; and we doubt wljeth-
