DETENTIoN.-The agents of the Lake Shore boats
or Mobile line and the coast packet Creole particu-
larly give notice to passengers and shippers that
they send their freight, extra baggage, horses, etc.
in the train Of hour previous to the time of
starting from Port Pontchartrain. When it is con-
sdered that the request be readily granted are
somewhat astonished that the boats often detan
ed from half an hour to an hour and half beyond
the time necessary, simply through the neglect of
shippers or senders to attend to this request We
were witness to this last week. One of the boats
detained one hour longer than necessary, merely
from some half dozen passengers having large guam
tity of luggage and freight, which could have been
as easily sent in the train previous at the time it
was. Whether it is not requiring too much for
seventyhve one hundred passengers to be detained
by the neglect of a halt dozen, is question we do
not pretend to But the delay at the various
places of delivery of the freghts and luggage in dis
charging is as much could be reasonably asked of
passengers in general to submit to- without the hour
more detention previous to departure. 1t will be
convenience to travellers if these matters more
fully considered. TRAVELLERS.

A NOBLE ENTERPRISE.

A nurlker Of Southern and Northern ladies have
formed an association for very worthy and exalted
purpose the purchase and conservation Of the home
stead and tomb of the Immortal WASHINGTON. It's
an enterprise which appeals to the strongest and
nobest impulses Of our nature, patriotsm gratitude
reverence and love- and if it should fail of success
which we think it cannot-the proverbial "ingrati-
tude Of republics would receive overwhelming con-
fimation. We, however, have never believed that
the neglect and ingratitnde which few Of our great
men have experienced from their country after nav
ing rendered il the most signal services, could justly
be attributed to defect rather hideous deform-
ty, Of the national heartthe hearts OF the people
but rather to the peculiar workings Of our represent
alive government WHICH, often permit the claims OF
justice and principle and the public interests to be
sacrificed to private ends and to personal or political
!, ;animosities. % m
The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the
Union y is presided over by Southern Matron,. 7
and is nominally located at Richmond, Va It is
under the direction Of Central Committee appointed
III 1856 and in order to have the organization as ma.
tional as possible, it is part of the plan TO add
thereto one member from each State at least each
State from whose citizens contributions have been or
may be received. The contribution of any sum not
less than one dollar membership and entities
the giver to enrolment in the Mount Vernon Pur-
chase Book and all donations of fifty dollars and
upwards will be acknowledged in the monthly re-
ports Of the Central Committee.
On the 18th Of March, 1856, the General Assembly
Of Virginia passed act incorporating this Associa
ton, and authorizing the Governor to obtain from
John A. Washington contract binding him to CON
yey by property-deed to the State of Virginia two
hundred acres of the Mount Vernon homestead when.
ever within period Of FIVE years from the passage
Of the act, the Governor should be prepared to pay
him the sum of $2O0,oO0. This purchase Of two hun
bred acres will include the tomb of Washington, the
mansion garden, grounds, and the wharf and landing
now constructed on the Potomac river. The act also
authorizes the State Treasurer to receive and hold,
subject to the Governors order, all moneys rendered
by the Association, or by others in its behalf and as
considerable sum has already been paid in, it is
confidently expected that the entire sum will be made
up before the expiration Of the five years. Therefore
they who desire to take part in dschargng this debt
Of gratitude which the nation owes to the memory
of its llustrous aud greatest beneactor should not
delay but send in their contributions at once. And
who would not wish to share in such tribute to the
memory Of that great and good man, who, in the
hand Of COP, was the chief instrument in founding
the nationality of the most free and happy people

The ereps of wheat promising to be larger than
ever before in this county Corn is looking well and

although there is yet much room for improvement.
The stand is much better than most of the farmers
