Mr.. Sn0,rden-I observed your remarks in
Saturdays paper. on Education and Literature,
AMI fully coincide with you in the views you have
taken OF the subject, and particularly that part
that has allusion TO young men engaged in bust
ness. You say 'it should no longer be cons-
dered 'out of order for young man engaged
in business tn be seen, while not employed in
selling or posting with book in his hand. y
Long has il been source of qualification aud IN
struction to me. and nv leisure moments could
not have been more pro6tabIy employed. But,
Sir. latterly have been forced to ,urtail that
pleasure for the want of Books. there being no
circulating library in our town at this time; and
it is to be regretted, in this enlightened commu-
nity. that any should suffer for the want Of these
instructive messengers. A Library of historical
and literary works. | CONCEIVE Sir. would at this
time support itself handsomely; nor would it
take large capital to put one in opefation-and
it would not only prove lucrative to the owner.
but infinitely so to the minds Of its readers. l
have not made these remarks from any selfish
motive. but purely philanthropic. hoping they
NAV attract the attention, meet the appreciation,
and finally urge some one to the complexion, of
this good institution. hope this subject vii! be
taken into consideration bv the community in ge-
neral, but especially those who are favorable to
this object. b. publishing tire above in your pa
per, you will confer great favor on
A CLERK.
The above remarks give us an opportunity of
directing public attention, and especially the at
tentIon of the young men, to the ALEXANDRIA
LIBRARY. The subscription to this Library is
small, and it is an institution well worth their
support aud encoulag ement This Library con-
tains a very excellent collection of Historical
and Literary works. 1t is REGULAR, furnI,hed
with the best lighter reading of the dav-no'es,
reviews and magazines. We feel some interest
IN its prosperity; because we think it is credit
able to the taste and feeling Of the town, that a
well-resulated public Library should be hand
someIy supported. The old subscribers to the
institution would hail with pleasure an accession
toit list from the young men of the town.

MORNING, FEBRuaRY1s. 1852.

The proceedings of Congress in this DAVIS Ga.
zette will show the order that has been taken re-
latise to the removal Of General Washngton's
remains on the ED 1t would be well to state
here also, that Mr.. S. E. Burrows, of New York,
having offered to erect a Monument over the
grave Of Mrs. Washington, the Mother,l at his
expense, and the Committee at Fredericksburg
agreeing to the proposition, the President has been
requested to lay the corner stone, which he has
cheerfuily consented to do, at some convenient
day after the adjournment Of Congress.
We have heard it stated that the proprietor of
Mount Vernon is not willing that the remains Of
General Washington should be removed Ifsuch
is his wish, we hope he may adhere to it 1t
Congress wish to pay proper respect to the me
mory of the Father of his Country, let them erect
Monument over him where he now lies. The
spot has been halowed-let it continue to be the
shrine of patriotic pilgrims. This is our indv-
dual opinion; but we feel perfectly willing to
acquiesce in whatever may be thought most re-
spectful on the part Of The American People.
