COMMUNISM Dying Our The reader is
doubtless informed of the fact that, since the
expulsion of the Mormons from Nauvoo, ILL.,,
the site of that town has fallen in the oceupa-
ton of Mons CADET, who, at the head Of a
body of French socialists, entitled the Icarian
Colony, has, for few years past, been en-
deavoring to put into practice there the prin-
ciple of communism For some time they got
on passibly well; but at length the apple of
discord was rolled in, and the community be-
come SO divided that, whilst CADET himself
and minority Of the colonists are understood
to advocate immigration from France, a ma
jOrity opposes such course, and directly
warns their foreign brethren against risking
the chances of much discomfort and suffering,
owing to the divided condition Of the colony
If we mistake not, all the numerous Phalans-
teries, that seven years ago dotted the north
ern and middle States, have died out. and
that the Icarian community should timely fol-
low their fate, may reasonably be expected.

MOUNT VERNoN.-Edward Everett, in his
letter to Governor Bragg, Of North Carolina,
says:
Perhaps you will pardon me for adding, that,
In all my appointments to repeat this address
except the very first made last summer,)
among others at the Universities of Virginia
and New Jersey, L have stipulated that the
proceeds should be appropriated in aid of the
fund for the purchase of Mount Vernon, for
which provision is made in the act Of Virginia,
of the 18th of March last. The recent letters
of the proprietor throw doubt on his present
willingness to cede the estate. 1t cannot,
however, be doubted, that il will eventually
become public property; and in the mean
time, L do not understand that the efforts to
raise the requisite funds will be relaxed. The
sums which have come into my hands have
been safely and advantsgeously invested in
trust, and shall make the same disposition
of any that may hereafter be received by me,
without the deduction Of dollar for personal
expenses Should the attempt to purchase
Mount Vernon fail, the funds raised can be
appropriated to some other patriotic purpose
of general interest connected with the memory
of Washington.
L remain dear sir, with great respect, faith
fully yours, EDWARD EVERETT.

AMERICAN SHEPHERDs.-George W. Ken
dali, who is engaged in woll-growing In West
ern Texas, writes thus TO the New Orleans
Picayune:
But You should see our flock tenders here
aways on the Indian frontier: laughed out
right as one of them appeared before me, With
some 500 sheep in charge. Ordinarily we are
wont TO look upon shepherds as peaceful folk;
poets sing OF them in gentle numbers, while
painters spread them before us with crooks on
their shoulders and perhaps lutes under their
arms, ready to pour forth simple lays 10 any
rustic maidens within hearing of their walks.
But instead Of encountering one Of these, you
may Judge my surprise when ferocious, Fra
Diavohsh looking fellow stalked up to me, a
double oarreled gun on his shoulder, Bowie
knife hanging on one side, and one of Colts
slx-snooters on the other, ut the same time an
nouncing, from a mouth completely hidden
behind herce surrounding of beard and
moustache, that he was keeper of his focki
A more brigandish looking shepherd was
surely never seen; yet the arsenal he carried
about him he deemed absolutely necessary
for his own protection against Indians Crooks
and lutes are well enough in the other settle
ments, but the Camanches are not TO be
charmed into good behavior by such pacific
contrivances. Another flock tender, fimi-
larly armed, soon came up, and IL struck me
that were all of them TO enter the bureau Of
JEFF Davis at Washington, sccoutred precisely
as when first saw them, he would be sorely
puz zied to make them out an peaceful shep-
herds; he would take them for regular high
waymen first Such is protection"
