In these ceremonies we beiieve the drees of tbe

: lion of the service ; tut on this occasion the Piin
o-.-s i; y.i wore one so thorr uyhlv in gr-od laaie
it is difficult to remark anything, save that it
i- exquisitely becoming, beautiful and white. In

| r .nufvtured by Mrs. Darviii, deaigred bv Mi-*
! Jai r Fife, and composed of a rich robe of white
ui’ .i-: au'.ijque, omamenled with three flounces of
J lloniton lace.
: J.e of the lace consists of Uuquete in open

’ ji .-—the latter bein*< the bridai flower of Germany
j —every wreata terminating with bouquets of the
| same flowers, and tiie length of each being so grad
j as to give the appearance of a roco denned
! by flowers. The apex of this floral pyramid is
j med by a large bouquet worn on the girdle. The
| tr;:ia, which of the uuusua! length of more than
, t'irec yard**, is of white moire antique, trimmed
with two rows of iloniton lace, surmounted by
( r< ntfas j iir.:iir to those on tbti flounces of the dress.
; v. ■•ih bouquet* at short intervals.
Next to the interest excited by the appearance of
| ri e bride herseif i.- the feeling “created by the fair
bridesmaids, who, ‘*in gloss of satin and glimmer of
] t;i t,w in array, bearing up the rich
train of tbe Priucei Royal between them. The la
'! e L >aored with this distinguished mark of royal
v r are aU among the personal friends of the young
j bride, and. what is uingular, are every one iineally
*'"(-nded t orn the great royal houses of England
! n’A bcotlaud. They follow the bride two by two—
; I* Ay Susan Charlotte Catherine Pelham Clinton,
j daughter of the Duke of Newcastle ; Lady Cecilia
j <-a*t-rine Cordon Lennox, daughter of tho Duke
•* K ‘i nond , Lady Katherine Hamilton, daughter
■ ft v c Marquis of Abercorn ; Lady Emma Charlotte
| Smith Stanley, daughter of the Earl of Derby ; La
dy Sus n Ca'herine Mary Murray, daughter of the
E irl of Dun more ; L dy Constance Villiers, daugh
t r of the Errl of Clarendon . Lady Victoria Noel,
dm of the Earl of Gainsborough , Lady Ceoi
ha Maria Charlotte Molyneux, daughter of the Earl
of ttefton.
It id but faint praise to Fay how well these noble
maidens upheld even the high traditionary fame of
England's beauty—how bright they showed, even
in ku assemblage of the fairest and noblest in the
! hud. As they move slowly forward, scanning the
| br.lii s.nt audiences with timid glances, now and then
‘■ e line* which Dryden has applied to the Queen’s
Ver dant*, in tbe “Flower and the Leaf,” irresisti
oly onr-ui to the memory, and the spectator* realize
tin* virion of tbe poet when he sung—

H :o but rich, is fre*h within my mind;

j pc seam* with spa. kling jewois set aronnd.’*
T‘ e dresses worn by this fair train are from a de
! furnished by the illustrious bride herseif. They
.ii trf a white glace petticoat, entirely covered
by . ix deep tulle over which falls a tunic
j if J i*;ie trimmed with ruches of tulle, looped up oi
loiiC n-de with & Uquet oi pink roses and whito hea
th. r. The body i trimmed with drapareis of tulle,
with banging eleeves of tbe same material trimmed
vvnhrucheri. A bouquet of the same flowers is
; worn (>u tire girdi” and upon each shoulder.
; As the bride passes up to the altar she stops and
make** ri deep reverence to her mother, though with
•v <1 ot agitation, and her face flushes like crimson;
on, asrain turning, she renders the same homage
■o i ■ Prince of Prussia. As she does so, the bride
/riyoin e* < t advai.c*B and, kuceling on one knee,
1 vms - her hand with an expression of fervent ad
,,:rat n that moved the august audience. Taking
j their p’ v m tries at the alter, and with their illustri
■u- i\.. **ta:idiuground in a group of unequal
t 1 l). ill Huey, the service commences with the oho
j n.l i, which peals through the little building with the
.- t •* lemn effect. The words are particularly an
iropriate, full of feeling and piety, and the “auai*

The Hymn over, ihe Lord Archbishop of Canter
bury t'-ok his place in the centre of the altar, and
HH-inted by th** Ikabop of London, aa dean of the
Chape! Royal, the Bishop of Oxford, as Lord high
4hn* ner, the lt shop of Chester, as clerk of the
.-’oKt-r., the Deanit Windsor, as domestio chaplain,
v. i the Rev. Dr. Wesley, an subdean of the Cha
pel Royal, the marriage service is commenced at
exactly in minutes to one.
Die Rubric is rigidly adhered io throughout. Af
ler goin ihrough the u?ual formulary, the most re
v rend primate, who was very indistinctly heard,
H<-k* the royal bridegroom—“ Wilt thou have this
woman to be thy wedded wife, to live together af
t*. God’s ordinance in the holy estate cf matrimo
ny / Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor and
keep her in Hicknew and in health ; and, forsaking
ail others, keep only thee unto her, so long an ye
both 8 all live V’ To mis the Prince replies loud
>ii.d clear. “1 will.” To the same question the
faint answer ot the bride is barely audible, though
the attention of all is strained to the utmost to catch
the faebly uttered words. To the next, “Who
giveth this woman away ? ‘ the Prince Consort re
i lies loudly, “i do.” Then the Priuce takes his
bride’s hand in his own, ia earnest warmth, and re
pe :M ‘lowly and distinctly after the primate—‘l,
rrederi* k William Nicholas Charles, take thee Vic
i t Adelaide Mary Louisa, to my wedded wife, to
h t\ e and to hold from this day forward, for better
for worse, tor richer for jioorer, in sickness and in
i.eaitii, to love and to cherish, till death us do part,
according to God’s holy ordinance; and thereto I
plight tb**a iny troth.” Again, in reply, the words
of the bride are almost lost, and she seen.s faint and
tremulous enough to excite uneasiness among her
Mies. The Prince, then taking tue ring from his
•rother Albert, said, with marked emphasis—“With
lies ring i thee wed, with iny body I thee worship,
and with all niy wordiy goons I thee endow; in the
i.nuie of the Fa’her, and of the Son, and of tho Holy
Ghost Amen.”
At the moment tho ring was placed upon the
bride's finger, n salvo of artillery, arranged by sig
ual, reverberated through the corridors and chapel;
and at the same instant a telegraphic message was
and rpatched by Count liomstorff to Berlin, where
tbe King, with reciprocal affection, had signified
bis intention of marking the event by a similar sa-
The usual prayer was then offered up, and the
Primate, joining their hands together, said,‘‘Whom
U.-d has joiued let no man put asmnder.”
Iho p alm commencing “God be merciful unto
us, and bless ns ; and show us the light of His coun-
Tenance, and be saercitul unto us,” was then sung.
Tue Royal couple then knelr, with all the brides
inalds, while the rest ot the ceremony was proceed
'd with, the Bishops of London, in a clear and dis
iinct voice, reading the exhortation. At tbe con
cluding words tiie Hallelujah Chorus—
Hallelujah, f° r the Lord Omnipotent relgneth.
1 lie klug.k'mof thi-. world is becoming the kingdom
Os our Lord, and of UU, Christ; and He shall reigu
Forever and ever, King of Kings audLordof Lords.
Hallelujah!
Rose clear and loud, with thrilling effect.
Hardly had the last words of th* chorus died
. in s l inn echoes, when the ceremonial, as ar
rai-ged by chamberlains and heralds, ended, and the
ionic, giving vent to ber evidently long pent-up
• g>. turned and flung herself upnin her mother's
1 i-ns-uu with aeuddendess and depth of feeling that
’ * ri led through every heart. Again and again ber
I ! -sty strained her to her heart aud kissed her,

after the return of her Majesty and the court, the j
Queen end Prince Consort, with their Koval High
neases P.-ince and Princess Frederick William of
Prussia, the lioyal Family aod the Foreign Princes,
p assed from the picture gallery into the State din
ner-room, where a dtjeuoe was served.
Tee wedding cake was placed in the midd e of
the table. It was between six and seven feet in
height, and was divided from the bass to the cop
into three compartments, aii in white
The upper part was formed of a dome of open
work, on which rested a crown. Eight column* on
a circular plinth supported the dome, end inclosed
an altar upon which stood two enpids holding 3
medallion, having the profile of the Princes* Kovai
on one side and that of Prince Frederick William
of Prussia on the other. Festoon* of jasmine were
suspended from the capitals of the columns, and
busts of the Queen, the Prince Consort, the Prince
of Prussia and the Princess of Prussia, were placed
on four equi distant base* projecting from the
plinths.
Tbe middle portion contained niches, in which
were a number of statues, including those of Inno •
recce and Wisdom. These statues were separated
by broad buttresses of an ornamental character, the
upper parts decorated with feetoons of orange
blossom* and silver leaves.
The side of the cake itself displayed the arms of
Great Britain and Prussia placed alternately on
panels ot white satin, and lest ween each coat of
arms was a medallion of the Princes* Royal and
Prinoe Frederick William, encircled by orange
blossoms and enrrounded by an imperial crown.
Bows of pearl bordered each division of the cake,
wbicj was made by M. Pogntex, her Majesty’s con
fectioner. Tbe calke was divided into a certain
number ofjportions or elices, and each portion was
decorated with a medallion cf tne royai bride anti
bridegroom.
The plateau oontained 14 gilt baskets arid vi es
of silver guilt, the former elevated on golden tri
pods, and all filled with artificial Sowers.
Arrival op the Bridk and Bridegroom at
Windsor. —Shortly after half-past four o’clock a
detachment of tbe Scots Fusilier Guards, under the
command of Col. Paget, marched into the station
yard to form a guard of honor for the royal party.
At ten minutes past five o’clock the tidings were
circulated that the royal pair had just left Padding
ton, and the general expectancy momentarily in
creased. The telegraph next announced that the
train had passed Slough at f>. 3b, and the excitement
of the assemblage had reached its climax when, six
brief minutes later, the Bhrill sound of the engine dri
ver’s whistle broke upon the ear. This was the sig
nal for a spontaneous outburst of enthusiastic cheers
the shouts being caught up and renewed again and
again along a lengthened line of spectators.
Amid this tumultuous din, during the whole of
which the tremendous hurrahs of the Eton boy* rarg
out loud and clear, tbe special train drove slowly up
tbe platform. The youthful bridegroom instantly
alighted and gave hie hand to his bride. The ap
pearance of the royal pair on tbe platform elicited
redoubled manifestatione of loyalty, and the whole
scene was indiscribably heart-stirring and affecting.
Tbe youthful and illustrious objects of all this en
thusiasm appeared deeply moved at the thorough
heartiness of the welcome accorded them, and testi
fied their gratitude by repeatedly bowmg to tbe as
semblage. Having shaken hands and exchanged a
few words of recognition with one or two of the
principal personages on the platform, Prince Fred
eric William led his youthful bride into the Queen •
rieeption room, through which they had to pass in
order to reach the carriage which stood in waiting
to convey them to the Castle The horses which
brought this vehicle to the station—two handsome
grays—had been removed to make way for the
Eton boys, whose enthusiasm had impelled them to
solicit the honor of drawing the royal carriage
through the town to its destination—an” offer which
was graciously accepted by its illustrious occupants.
Some twenty or thirty of these fervid youths having
yoked themselves in front of the “chariot, and a
greater number lending their assistance to propel it
from behind, the cortege moved off under the escort
of the tnsilier guards whose fine band struck up the
National Anthem Its route, which lay through the
High street and up Castle hill, was bngbtiy illumi
nated, and along the entire oounse it w-s accompa
nied by a vast multitude, who rent the air with their
vehement vociferations. Arrived at the Castle,
the royai pair took up their abode in tbe Lancaster
Tower, where an elegant suite of apartments had
been specially fitted up for their reception.
Later from Texas.
The steamship Mexioo, has arrived at New Or.
leans, with later news from Western Texas and the
adjoining Mexican States. The Picayune learns
tnat the Indians have made f-equent and bold de
predations between Mier and Guerrero. They are
supposed to belong to the Comanche tribe, and to
have come down the Mexican side to within twelve
mile* of Mier. The number of depredations about
Laredo are so numerous that tbe farmers have
ceased to keep account of them.
A considerable amount of property has also been
taken by Mexicans, who have made secret excur
sions across the river for the purposes of plunder.
This property can be recovered if identified.
But the subject of greatest complaint is the steal
ing, by Mexican citizens, of negro property.
The Brownsville Flag says:
Mr. Shields, who has a farm on the river recently
had six negroes decoyed away, while property, un
der present treaty stipulation, cannot be forded
back. A treaty of extradition has been propcsed
by our Government with Mexico, but a* the Gov
ernment of Mexico deemed such a treaty contrary
to her fundamental laws, she refueed to accede to
any terms proposed by our government. As this
question involves our relations with a foreign pow
er, it is beyond the oontrol ofour State Legislature.
Therefore the only remedy for us, is for our Legis
lature to lay these gt ievancrs before Congress, and
urge upou that body the necessity of making
such a treaty with the Mexican Government.
The Aurora, of tbe 24th inst., says that Gov. Gar
za and Gov. Vidaurri, of Nuevo Leon and Coahuila,
have mutually settlod all their difterences. The
States ofTamaulipasand Nuevo Lsou and Coahuila,

ket of that city:
Money ia cheap, abundant and dull, on erery
thiug and to everybody eateemed to be of unexcep
tionable strength, it is said that within a few days
Boston sixes have been sold at ten per cent, pre
mium, and that the five per oente. are at par. On
Saturday morning the banks held $7,050,700 in spe
cie, say three millions more than is necessary, in
the opinion of most conservative bankers. The
banks, however, are cautious in increasing the lines
of old customers, and they evince no disposition, as
yet, to urge their money upon berrowers. At the
same time, any qua*tity of credit cau readily be
obtained, esp. cially on call, by those whose means
are known to be beyond question. Outside of the
banks money is exceedingly quiet. The rates run
from 6 to Id per cent, on paper ranging from the
“very beet” to “goodbut on notes unexceptiona
ble to the purchaser, money can easily be had at
6 to 7.
Very little has been done in the street in paper,
for a few days past, while the general decline in the
rates of domestic exchange has almost annihilated a
profitable business, that was quite active during the
suspension period. As to the future, there is not
the Slightest evidendee visible of an unfavorable
change in the coarse of the money market. The in
dications are that a quiet and healthy trade will be
done, in the coming spring by the grocers, druggists,
dry goods jobbers and retailers of ail branches; but
there is not the faintest sign of a spring trade large
enough to affect the money markets of the cities.—
The West, also being heavily indebted to the East,
tbe winter and spring movement of crops cannot
take away much money from the Atlantic sea-board

likely to prevail, that the corps will move very
gradually and regularly, even after the opening of

nary arragemente, the gentleman put the ladder up
to the window of the room next to the one in which
his fair sweetheart slept, and which proved to be
that in which her anxious mamma, a handsome
widow, repoeed. She turned the mistake to her
owu advantage ; got into his arms ; returned his af
fectionate embrace; was borne by him to the car
riage. and by preserving becoming silence until
davlight, kept him blind of his error, and by the po

him into matrimony with herself. We give these
facts on the authority cf a responsible correspon

two workmen had occasion to enter a newly finish

Mr. Editor :—l’here is a deficiency in the late
essay of “ Richmond,” as weii as iu all I haveseen
in tbe newspapers, cn the subject of Bank suspen
sions aud Governor Brown'* veto of the Bank Bill.
It appears to me that, iu these cases, where the pri
mary object is to enlighten the public mind which
seems to be in tbe dat k as to tbe true or commercial
mearing of the terms, money, bank and backing,
| au effort should be made to define them, *0 that
they and their influence in the pobtical economy of
the Sta te could be fully and easily comprehended
by men of ordinary capacity. It is in the nature of
man to abridge mental a* well a* physical labor,
and in this fast ege it is not uncommon to find men
availing themselves ot the mental labor of others,
who are at the same time perfectly unconscious of
the fact that the princip'es or rules of action adopt
ed by them are the results of the most patient and
philoeophical investigation of individuals whose
names are buried, to them at least, in the oblivion
of past ages It is thus, for instance, a navigator
will conduct his ship safely through the most intri-
cate passage* by means of chart*, instruments,
rule*, and mathematical table*, of the construction
of which he may be as ignorant as a child. It is,
therefore of the utmost importance to him that his
charts, &c., should be absolutely correct, and he
must be confident that they are tbe result of tbe sp
plication of principles admitting of mathematical
precision, of tbe primary demonstration of which
he may be utterly ignorant. It is just so with the
ship of State—if the charts, Ao , are laid aside and
she is abandoned by the ignorance and self-will of
an adventurous skipper, she may drift upon rocks
and shoals and terminate her voyage in shipwreck.
I consider our ship of State in this sonditijn, and
a* a paect tiger, I call upon my fellow-passengers to
make an effort to save her; aud in doing *O, first to
respectfully suggest to our Captain the propriety of
abandoning his self sufficiency, and of being guided
by such charts, rules and tables as we are sure will
carry us through our present dangerous voyage,
and bring us safely into port in October, 1859.
As I do not pretend to say that our Captain and
crew should hsve been chcsen by the people in ref
erence to their qualifications for the proper discus
sion and arrangement of financial matters, because
such matters are but a branch of the business en
trusted to their care, but it does seem to me that
among them there is an extraordinary deficiency oi
commercial knowledge. All who heard the discus
sion of the Bank bill in the Senate, have received
this impression, and some of the members were
careful to make it indeliible by commencing their
speeches on the subject with the remark that they
did not know anything, or at best bnt very little,
about bank* and banking. The Governor s veto
clearly shows how much he knew about this impor
tant matter.
Now, that there maybe concert of action and
unanimity among the passengers in our heretofore
glorious old ship, I would respectfully ask your
correspondent “Richmond” to become our spokes
man, anti tell us what money is, how it originated,
and how it came under the control of the govern
ment ; also, what a bank and banking is. how they
originated, and how they came to be under the con
trol of the government. Having done this, then
show us bow each in the proper performance of thier
respective functions are ooDducive or otherwise to
the welfare of the State.
As an individual having no direct interest in any
bank, in taking a general view of the commerce of
the country, I have become satisfied in my own
mind, that the banks are not merely incidental ex
creseences, as some would designate them, easily
dispensed with, but that they are the main arteries
through which the life blood of commeroe flows
Entertain ng this view, I have confidence in the be
lief that if the people generally, who are my fellow
passengers, were made to understand fnily and
clearly wbat money, banks, and banking really
are, and their real use in the complicated machine
ry of commerce, their prejudices, which have been
but too artfully exc'ted against them, would be dis
pelled, our present voyage would be terminated
without any very serious disaster, and the next
would be under the oominand of a more competent
Captain. Live Oak.
P. S.—l wonder if the Senator who found “liter* 1
Know-Nothings” in favor of the most lenient moa
sures towards tiie banks, hat not discovered at last,
one “literal Know-Nothing” opposed to them, if he
has not and is at a loss, it is suggested that one oan
be found now in Miliedgeville, without the aid of a
“dark lantern.” L. O.

.Mount Vernon.
The following letter from the Southern Matron,
which we re publish, is severe upon those who, on
the Mount Vernon topic, “ talk of things they don’t
understand. ” The progress of that cause is still on
ward The Masons ot Richmond, Va., have be
come allies to the Association of that State, and
the Grand Secretary ia iu correspondence with her.
Will not the Masons of Georgia do likewise 1 We
invite them on their celebrations of the 22d, to be
come members of our Association. One dollar will
make them such, aud let each Mason do what be
can for ns by influencing friends and neighbors.—
Would it not bo appropriate to have a Mason’s roll
on which should be inscribed the name of every
Mason in Georgia. Let these be sent to na in Au
gusta, a fraternal ofering, for was not Washington
a free and accepted Mason. Apply for his portrait,
it should ornament every Mason’s house. Five
thousand have been ordered for Richmond, Va., —
how many will Richmond, Georgia, want! aud how
many for the Masons of our Empire State ? Some
few orders have come in—we are grieved that they
are so few. Again, we entreat that the 22d be cel
ebrated through the State, for the purpose of re
plenishing the coffers of the Mount Vernon Trea
sury. Who will use his eloquence in our behalf in
Augusta? We understaud that Alabama, under
Lhe Mount Vernon standard, reared by the aeconr
plished and fascinating Madame LeVert, is prepar
ing for a grand rally on that day. Is Georgia to su
pine, so unwieldly, that she is compelled to be in
ert?
“ Oh judgment t thou art fled to brutish hearts,

Mount Vernon Association.
To the Editor of The South 1
It was with extreme surprise that we read vour
article of the 2!ith on the position of the Mount Ver
non Association to Mount Vernon, to Virginia, and
to the nation.
W 0 would pass over Us inaccuracies, even as we
do its (such !) compliments, but for the effeot on the
opinion of the masses, of emanations, without re
flection, as without facte. We bad supposed that
ere any Virginian of intellect aud education would
venture such an onslaught on those who are gene
rously laboring to obtain money to make Mount
Vernon a gift to Vtrginia; who obligate themselves
in order to bind the hearts of their countrymen to
that sacred Bpot, to relieve the State from the care
and expense of it* protection • who consecrate them
selves to take the chargd of it, aud to labor for tbe
means te preserve and adorn it, he from delicacy,
as well as from regarc for a reputation for the
perception of r statesman, would have applied to
official authority for the history of the Mount Ver
non Association, and have ascertained all con
cerning its past, as well as its prospects for the pre
sent and for the future
That woman —notwithstanding the peculiar views
of Mr. Washington, which induced a course so dis
astrous to her continuous and successful operations
and awakened all the prejudice and depression
arising therefrom—should have the power, through
the high and holy mission she has taken on her
self, to wring from the heart of this whole nation an
almost unanimous meed of npplause, and in spite of
the doubt that Virginia would accede to the re
quisition of Mr. Washington that ths purchair from
him must be made by the State—that Bhe should
induce the magician of the nation to give his time,
his eloquence (a mine of gold for her holy pur
poses !) nay, to consecrate his life to her work—that
she should cause ladies of the highest position in
State after State, to devote their ail until the end
was gained; some in their self-sacrificing.patriotism
undertaking the charge of entire States, and of en
listing and arousing every county in them—that she
should enlist gentlemen first in standing and in in
tellect to volunteer to become her Knights, to aid
in the rescue of Mt. Vernon, and, in emulation of
the example of the famous Knights Templar of old,
vow themselves henceforth to the charge of its
future interest; —that she should have had the pow
er to do this, is a tribute of which she may well be
proud; and, more than that, these signs are a
guarantee that it needs but time to develops tbe
appreciating love and reverence for Washington
which is the noble undrr-ntratum of the Amerioan
character. Woman aeke but for time to hew out
of lh\i a pedestal for the most glorious monument to
manly worth the world has ever known.
Have you lorgotten that “Rome was not built in
a day ? “ or that our glorious Republic was not won
in “two or three years 7“ Nay, not in five—the
time guaranteed to tbe Monnt Vernon Association
by their charter. And permit us to ask if it would
ever have been a Republic if the patriots of that
day had refused to commence a revolution until all
the money of Hi imaginable cost had been contribu
ted beforehand f Yet there were doubters then,
too. who regarded The most glorious unde, taking of
man, as a “vagary"—a mistaken “enthusiasm"—a
“bubble,” mischievous, if not “beautiful!” We
hope, for the honor and credit of th* Old Dominion,
that there are none such in the present General As
sembly—guardians inthit matter of her reputation
for all time. On their decision now, in reference to
the sacred ashes of the Father of his Country, the
world, for all time, will tit in judgment.
You may say that the Mount Vernon Association
has “labored for two or three years under the moet
favorable auspices, and yet without raising a tenth
part of the sum necessary tor this purchase.” It is
! presumed that the public will not dispute that we
are reliable authority on these points; and we state,
that the Association from the beginning nntil now,
has encountered an aecumulation of difficultie* cal
culated to appal even— th’onan , not only from
causes *o which we have alluded, but from those
arising from individuals not gifted with patriot
hearts or tbe sagacity of statesmen to percieve that
our enterprise was not “impracticable” or was
something more than a “vagary,” the end of which
might be a “bubble I” The public will certainly
never accuse Mr. Washington of “amiable enthu
siasm,” or of acting from the impulses of sentiment;
yet we had only to place our views oefore him to
induce him to reconsider nis determination “never
to give Virginia another opportunity to purchase
Mount Veroon from him.”
Such had been the eflect of bis letter in May,
1856, “ withdrawing tbe estate from sale,” that, be
tween indignation and despair, and a wide-spread
doubt that we could ever obtain Mount Vernon,
nearly all we had gained was lost, and Uttie of the
money collected was left unretarned by thoee who
ned. of coarse, the power to do it—for ours is a vol
untary work. When, therefore, la March last,
’ eleven months after this letter, we announced to the
public, through the correspondence of Mr Ritchie
and Mr Washington, tha* Mount Vernon conid be
obtained through Virginia and that the Mount Ver
non Association, by paying the purchase money,
could convert it into and become its guardians ss t
national shrine, we had to eommenee our work
anew sad to accomplish the Herculean task of re
kiadhng extinguished fires, and at the most inaus
picious of sll season*—summer—and then to en
counter a floanctal crisis under which tbe world is
still trembling; yet, with all this to encounter, the
Mount Vernon Association has gained State after
State, has drawn, and is diawtng out ardent labor
ers. inspired with the spirit of 76. and ga-lant
Krighta who, in their “ amiable enthusiasm,” are
, anvassing their State* to bring the cause home to
the knowledge and the hearts of that class whe will
not value gold wh*n the “ sacred asbee ” of the
Father of their Country are concerned—and last,
but not least, the noble brotherhood of Masons who
vill come up in solid phalanx to work for Bis,
- “the bright, partieular scar” of their firmament.
W* indignantly repel th* imputation that tha I
Mount Vernon Assoetauce. through Its Prssidsct, .
has some Murs ths Legislature la j
ris.” Pajpers !1! We admire the amiability of
, conveying the insinuation in a dead language.
The lamentations of the Editor of “The South”
1 over the exhausted Treasury of Virginia are quite
teaching, and have so enlisted our sympathies that
we rqjoice to assure him, and the gnsrdians of the
Treasury of Virginia, that the ladies have not and
do not ask for one dollar from her “impoverished
coffers but, as Monet Vernon cax only be ob
tained for the nation throzgh the instrumentality of
\ irginia and at the time, in the form, a r d upon tho
terms which Mr. Washington inexorably requires,
they do ask that Virginia wiii comply with these,
and issue those printed scraps of paper which, ii
unredeemed, may touch her Treasury thirty four
yeai-s hence, and in return for this the ladies propose 1
to give her two hundred thousand dol ars, from
which she can derive a temporary benefit—no dis
advantage to au “exhausted Treasury 1” One
fourth of this sum we can put at her disposal no:e ,
and, if the greater part of this has been collected in
a few mouths under every disadvantage, we do not
doubt that, with out increasing forces and brighten
ing prospects, the remaindet of the two hundred
thousand will be ready for her acceptance by tiie
22d of February, 1859.
To allay any doubts of the timid on the score cf j
losses by interest money due eemi-aenuaily, we ‘
pledge its payment iu advance.
In conclusion, we can but state that our Sense of .
justice makes us realize that the public are, and \
ever have oeea, ui jast to Mr. W r ashmg*on. If the ‘
nation desires to have Mount Vernon as a national
shrine for its benefit and gratification, it is the na- ‘
tion’s duty to make it so, and not, pauper-like, to j
ask it of Mr. Washington, a* aims to national senti
ment. VVe know that. Mr. Washington had an op
portunity to realize three hundred thousand dol
lars by private sale, and, therefore, we feel he ha*
done bis part by placing one hundred thousand on !
the alter of—sentiment We now ask the nation to j
do theirs. A Southern Matron.

Late and Importnm Ircm Mexico. —Overthrow
of Comonfort’s Government.
The steamship Tennessee arrived at New Or
leans on Wednesday last, with Vera Cruz papers to
tbe 7th inst.
President Ccmonfort and two daughters, and
Gen. Garcia Condk, carue passengers iu the Ten
nessee.
Mr. DaCosta, tbe purser of the Tennessee, favors
us with the following summary of inteiiigence :
“On the morning of tbe 21st January, president
Comonfort, abandoned by his troops, left the city of
Mexico, upon which the pronunviados entered the
palace, aud named a ‘Consejo de Notables,’ who
elected Zaloaga, Provisional President. Puebla,
Toluca, aud other points within their distanoe from
the city, acknowledge the government, which has
thus been organized.
“ The new Government has nominated its minis
ters, but up to the 7 til not a single port had declared
in its favor, and it was depending on the clergy for
support. Juares, as Pro-clout of tiie Supreme Court
should be President of the Republic under tiie con
stitution, and he has called tne Congress together
at Guanajuato, the great poin’ of union of the li
beral party, whilst Parrcdi, Doblado,Arteaga, and
Degouado at several points, are preparing to unite
and march upon the city of Mexico. La Have
holds Orizaba; and the castie of Perote is in the
hands of tbe Liberals. D. Juan Alvarez, it is sta
ted, has his force already under arms, in the State
of Guerrero.”
Our tiles of papers from the capita! comprise the
Siglo XIX, to the 2d inst. inclusive, the Extraordi
nary of the 3tlth, tbe Courier Franoais, cidevant the
Trait d’Uuion, the first number of the Diario Offi
cial of the new Government, published on the 23d

same date. From Vera Cruz we have the Progreso

The Extraordinary states that the representatives
of the foreign powers had acknowledged the new
Government, and argues that such was their duty.
“ Within the last seven weeks,” it says, “ we have
had four distinct Governments—under the consti
tution, the plan of Taeubaya, the constitution again,
and now we have the plan of Tauubaya, as reform
ed in Mexico. There could be no greater objection
made to the present Government than to the second
or third in the catalogue. Ail the others were re
cognized.” The same paper states all the principal
acts of the late Government, under the plan of Ay
utla, had been overthrown. “The Law Lerdo, ior
tho disamortization of church and oorpora'ion pro
perties,” it says, “has been annulled and the pro
perties of the enureh restored; the Law Juarez, for
the abolition of the eeeiesiastieul and military tribu
nal* lias been annulled,and the fueros re-estab’.iahed.
The Extraordinary also says: “The eelebra’ ion
of tbe new laws took place on Thursday afternoon,
Jan. 28th. The military paseed in review through
our principal streets; lire balconies were crowded
with people, and from some balconies garlands were
fiuug upon Gen. Osollo, the hero of the Aeordada.
The usual crowd of dirty and ragged people filled
the streets. As for popular enthusiasm there was
none, (we rrgret to say there is little or none in the
country,) the soldiers seemed well pleased, and the
representatives of religious societies manifested the
utmost satisfaction. The laws have been solemni
zed and pat on record. Reports are current on the
streets that already the new Government lias filled
the coffers of the treasury department, which have
long been in the most desolate condition It is un
derstood that the clergy have loaned Government
over *1,000,000.
From Qneretare the Extraordinary publishes cor
respondence, dated Jan. 26, stating that Gen. Dob
lado was there with 3,0U0 men, with whom, and 3(10
more under Arteaga, he intended to march against
the capital. Gen. Parrodi is reported to have left
Guadaljarato join Doblado, but to have subsequent
ly retraced his steps, although he had a very large
and superior force under him. Rumor, however,
alleges disaffection ami mg his followers as tiie cause
of his returning. The Cousth utionalists, under Jua
rez, elsewhere noticed, are resolved to stand their
ground there, aud await au attack from the Zuloaga
Government.
Correspondence from Puebla, dated Jan. 25, states
that there had been numerous arrests there, among
them that of Mr. John Vesche, formerly Prussian
Consul there.
Toluca had been entered by Gen. Miramon with
out resistance, and Gen. Benito Haro had been ap
pointed Comandante. Gen. Biancarle is reported
to have gone to Jalisco to operate against the Con
stitutionalists or Juarez party, in which Senor Ruiz
is Secretary of the luterior.
From the Extraordinary, also, we learn that D.
Bernando Couto had been elected President of
the new Council of State, Sres. Joaquin Pesado,
and the Bishop of Tenagra, Vice-Presidents, and
Sres. Jose Maria Andrade and Juan N. Vertiz have
been appointed S?cretaries to the body, which con
sists of one principal Representative, called conse
jero proprielario, and one substitute, called suplente,
from each State and Territory of tbe Republic,
named by the President of the Republic, and remo
vable at will. It is divided into six sections or com
mittees, one for each ministerial department of the
Government, and each having a President. The
President of the Republic has authority to preside
at the Council when he may deem it fit.
Our readei s will recollect that our last intelligence
from Mexico reported a truce agreed upon. The
works of the belligerents were to remain in statu
quo under it. Trenches and breastwork* were
nevertheless made. Many propositions were made
during tbe time, but none adopted. At the close of
the armistice—7 P. M. cf the 18th—tiring in every
direction recommenced. At 8, on tbe 19;.h, another
truce of three hours was agreed on, and fresh efforts
were made for a pacification, but in vain. Tne
firing was resumed with great vigor on both sides at.
11 o’clock, and continued till night, without having
caused any great loss of life or effected auy result
for either party. During the night the tire was
light, but both parties were active in improving
their works, and continued so till 11 o'clock 011 tiie
20th. Then the firing was resumed with greatly in
creased violence. After some time the Zuloaga
forces attacked and carried the Aeordada and the
Hospicio; silencing the Government batteries.
A column of about five hundred men advanced to
the relief of the Acordada; but it was broken up by
the tire of the captors; some were killed and woun
ded, many passed over and about one hundred re
treated in the greatest disoider. The Zuloaga pro
nunciadoi then directed a heavy fire against the
convent ot San Francisco about IP. M ; disaffec
tion to the Government began to be manifested;
at half-past 2, Gen. Comonfort went thither to en
deavor to repress it; but in vain; by night, he was
left alone with a few followers; one of the strongest
points in the city was abandoned. Imbecility in
the Government leaders, panic in some, bad pay
ment of the troops, are alleged to have chiefly con
tributed to this result.
Senor Comonfort left the Convent of San Fran
cisco at 8 o’clock at night, and went to the palace.
Light firing continued during the night, aud be
tween % and 7 o’clock on the morning of the 21st,
Senor Comonfort, with a few faithful friends, re
tired from the palace, and Gen. Zuloaga and forces
took posafßßion. Only one house, that of Juan
Jose Baz, isl reported to have been sacked by the
rabble, the pronunciados prohibiting excesses. Not
more than 50 lives are believed to have been lost
on both sides; the wounded amounted to 120.
Buildings, however, suffered greatly from the firing.
On the 22d a council of 28 electors was formed, one
from each State ; 26 voted for Zuloaga as President
ad interim ; 1 for Echeagaray and 1 for Santa An
na. Gen. Zuioaga took an oath to support the plan
Sroclaimed in Tacubaya Dec. 17, and reformed in
Lexico Jan. 11. The election and installment of
the President were duly solemnized and celebrated
Dy aTe Deum and by tbe customary flourish of
trumpets and roar of cannon.
The formation of a cabinet, says the Extraordi
nary, the second important etep in Mexican gov
ernment making, did not prove an easy task. The
ambition of thoee holding the power seems to have
been to select the very best men—men whose so
cial positions and wide-spread reputation would at
once give respectability to their Government. Tbe
parties first hit upon could not be induesd to ac
cept the positions tendered them, for various caus
es. The principal cause has been the easy circum
stances in which moat of our first men are found.
They do not wish to take upon themselves the res
ponsibilities and hard labors that must devolve up
on a cabinet member at this time.
SeDor Don Miguel Maria A zarate was appointed
Governor of the District. The Lie. Don Francisco
Tavera has been named Secretary of the Govern
ment of the District.
Immediately on his acceptance of offic e,Gov. Ai
arate issued an order for those who had arms or
munitions of any kind in their possession to eurren
der them within eight daye to the Government of
the District, on pain of fine and punishment.
Senor Don Luis G. Osollo was appointed to the
position of Commander-General of tbe forces.
The Traxtd’ Union , having its office near the
Acordada. in the line of the fire, it became imposei
ole to continue it. Tbe office was so much damaged
that the publication could not be resumed for some
days and just as they were prepared for this they
received, on the 23d, an order from the new Gov
ernment prohibiting its re-appearen e. On the 26th
it re appeared as the Courritr Francois.
In tne Progreso, of the 7tn, we find an addres3
from Gen. Comjnfortto the nation. !■ appears fiom
a glance at thie that he attributes to Gen. Trias tbe
unnecessary and unfaithful abandonment of the
Convent of San Francisco, and the falsely spreading
of the alarm that all was lost, which led to that result.
A correspondent of the Picayune, writing from
Vera Cm under date of Jan. 30tb says :
Tbe struggle is eve- i n the capital. The
Convcrsadorcs have won the day. Comonfort
baa fled, and Gen Zuloagn is provisional President
of the Republic. After eleven days’hard fighting,
the city of Mexico is at length pacified. Not so the
country. The struggle continues, and will continue,
as long as there shall be place and plunder worth
having. Den Benito Juarez, President of the Su
preme Court of Justice, and the depository of Exe
cutive power, has proceeded to Guanajuato, estab
lished a government there, and pat forth a mani
festo to the nation. * * Bodies of troops are nr arch
ing in all directions in the interior. Osollos and
Mmamon have been despatched, at the head of a
strong oolumn to meet and give battle to tbe Pvro
Governors of the Centrsl States, who are moving
upon ihe capital.

It is presumed the represeuta-ives of foreign pow

♦ Hot where is all this sort of thing to end ? There
| could be advanced several plausible theories, such
as a re-establishment of the empire ; a grand ‘ bust
|up and segregation into some half dozen smaller
sovereign ties ; a servile war; i. e , an insurrection
j ot the natives, (or full blooded Indians,) and a regx
, iar “wiping out” of the few white folks. But,
; Messrs. Editors, I don’t think we’ll see either event in
! our day. All the world (excepting only herself) sees
Mexico s real destiny as plain as the hand-writing

; bmtiee occur, that wouldn’t put an end to civil cud

be Mexico as long as she is ruled (?) by Mexicans.

i Arizona. —TheTerritory of Arizona seems to be
i attracting much attention at the present time. The
j Washington States says:
| We have before us a specimen of the cotton rais
ed by Gen. Gadsden from Arizona seed, and which
was bent by him to Lieut. Maury. It is exceeding
ly beautiful acd silky in texture.
Gen. Gadsden, in a letter to Lieut. Maury, in- .
closing a samp'e of cottoo, says: “You are aware, !
perhaps, that the black seed cotton—hybrids of finer !
qualities which sea or sab air aud superior cultiva- 1
tion has produced, in the Georgia Islands
and now extending to Florida—is a native of the
Gila, a river of Arizona. It is from this cotton that
the finest Mexican eeropes are manufactured. I
was fortunate enough to obtain a handful of the
seed from a friend at tort Yuma, and have raised
seed enough from it to restore it purely in this
State. As these lower qualities of long colons are
getting in demand, I send enclosed a sample of the
cotton as raised near this city, as it might be of iu
terest to you and the friends of that newly acquired
district, seeking to take a plaoe in the cotton-fields
a? well as silver products ot that mineral region.”
The sample of cotton given us by Lieutenant
Maury, is that described by Gray and others, raised
by the Pimos Indians, and resembles the Sea-Island
in its fine, silky texture, and loDg staple.
If Arizona is to furnish us with cotton-fields ca
pable of producing such a material as this, it will
be an additional inducement to Southern people to
occupy it.
The same paper publishes a letter dated San An
tonio. Texas, the 24tii, from which we “extract the
following :
I became acquainted with nearly all the Ameri
can inhabitants in the Territory, most of whom are
from Tennessee, Kentucky, aud Virginia. They
are principally engaged in mining f r silver, cop
per, and lead, in which the western portion of the
Territory abounds. I have been to a great many
mines; have seen silver, copper and lead taken out
almost pure. There are pieces of natural iron ly
ing in the plaza, at Tueson, that will weigh over a
tou each, taken from the surface of a neighboring
mountain. All that these enterprising people want
to insure success, is protection ; and they are de
lighted with the prospect of a Territorial organiza
tion.

Northern winds prevailed against Southern as 46
to 24. Western against Eastern as 41 to 33. So it
is clear that (whatever other theories may teach,)
our warm winter is owing to the lack of ice and
snow in the Northern regions. The prevalence of
Northern winds always brings cold with them when
they come from the by regions. The gulf stream
may have had something to do with preventing ac
cumulation of ice at the North, but its nearer ap
proach to our continent, if true, has not directly
produced the warmth of our winter.
As there will necessarily be more ice and snow
Northwardly, tho remainder of the winter, we may
yet lock for freezing weather, should Northern
winds prevail. In that event tho wheat crop may
again be prostrated as L is unusually forward.

The Effects of Moonlight. —Professor Piazza
Smyth, the Astronomer Royal for Scotland in his in
teresting account of a recent scientific expedition
made by him to the Peak of Tenerilfe, has set at rest
the (jiuestio vcxutaoi the heat of the moonlight. Ho
says that his thermometricnl instruments were sen
sibly rifected by the moon’s rays, even at the low
est of two stations occupied by him at different ele
vations. Iu tropical climates, meat which is ex
posed to the moonlight rapidly becomes putrid ; and
inthe West Indies, the negroes, who will lie swelter
ing uncovered beneath the full glare of a tropi
cal sum carefully muffle their heads and faces when
exposed to the moonbeams, which they believe will
cause swelling and distortion of the features, and
sometimes even blindness.
Defrauding Uncle Sam. —ln accordance with
the recent instructions from Washington, the post
masters throughout the country are looking up the
frauds which are every day committed to avoid
lawful postage. The extent of these frauds will be
best understood by our enumerating the contents of
28 papers opened by Col. Rogers, post-master of
Charlestown, within three days:—ll were written
upon, 3 contained dress patterns, 3 three skeins silk
each, 3 contained letters", 2 had pieces of black silk,
1 contained a landscape drawing, l a letter and a
three dollar bank bill, 1 a child’s apron, 1 a roll of
ribbon, 1 a lady’s worked collar, l a china baby.
The amount of postage paid for these 28 papers
was but 28 cents, while the amount which should
have been paid is $7.17. —Boston Herald.
Cruel and Unusual Punishment.— Tho using
such an inelegant phrase as “iu our midst,” which
occurred iu a letter inviting Mr. Everett to deliver
his discourse on Washington in New York, which
was headed by no less a scholar than George Ban
croft, after whom comes Dr. Bellows, Dr. Ilawks
John A Dix, Francis B. Cutting, Charles O'Connor,
and other names of equal eminence iu the literary
world, the Boston Courier decrees a heavy punish
ment. It says: “In a well regulated state of
society, somebody, or some tribunal, should have
the power to punish anybody who uses the expres
sion ‘in our midst.’ What form of punishment would
be appropriate to such an offence we are not at
this moment prepared to eay perhaps a confinement
of a fete days to one's house , with permission to
read nothing but Congressional speeches , might not
l>e deemed too severe. We think it would be effectual
against a repetition of the offence.”
A Disunion Threat.— The Washington Star
says:
“Few men are better informed than ourself upon
the state of feeling among the members, (of Con
gress,) and we are satisfied that were Minnesota,
with all her disregard of the enabling act passed in
her case, to be admitted into the Union, and Kan
sas, cm account of the constitution with which she
applies be refused admission, no ten Southern Ke
presents! ivee aud Senators would remain a day
.ongcr in either hall of Congress. The day for
further compromises on tho elavery question is
passed.”
Bacon in one of his essays says :
“Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern
make the field riug with their importunate chink,
whilst thousands of great cattle repose beneath the
shade of the oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray
do not imagine that those who make the noise are
the only inhabitants of the field ; that of course they
are manj’ in number ; or that, alter all, they are
other than the little, shrivelled, meagre, flopping,
though loud and troublesome insects of the hour.”

Beware of Wild Cate.
In the prosent monetary crisis, it behooves the
people to watch carefully, and avoid all contact
with the Wild Cat Banks and their issues. Be espe
cially careful to give them neither countenance or
circulation; avoid them as you would a highway
man, and the contents of your purses will be much
more secure and valuable. To enable the people to
protect themselves, as much as possible, against
these institution, we subjoin a list of them; all of
