ALABAMA.
The signs promising in this State. Madame
lie Vert of Mobile, a lady whose genius and soci-
al accomplishments have made her name familiar
on both sides of the Atlantic is devoting herself to
the cause, and under such auspices with the elo-
quent Yancey in the lead, there can not be such a
word FAIL.
Madame lie Vert has determined to contribute
portion of the sale of her work, "SouVenirs of
Travel" to the Mount Vernon Fund fact which
the womanly delicacy of her nature prevented her
from making known, but which has transpired
through the Intervention of her friends who desir-
ed the public benefit of her example.

Preparations aye in progress for concerted action
in behalf of the Mount Vernon purchase, during
the exhibition of the Agricultural Fair, when Mr.
Everett has been invited to visit Richmond and re-
peat his Grafton OH Washington.
An opportunity will thus be given TO the citizens
of the State hear this matchess orator and pat
riot, and il is confidently hoped that they will
brace it, and by the munifcsnce of their Offering
secure MountVeruOn, and place Virginia where
che should ever be foremost in all that is noble
generous aud patriotic
The timeIor general and united action has come,
and the evidences are that on the 22ud of February
next, Mount Vernon will be transferred to the
charge Of Virginia. 1t only requires little effort,
q little exercise of self denial, presentation
OF the objects aud claims OF the Association to
carry them out successfully.
In every county OF every State, there are men
andwomen who willing and anxious TO add their
amount OF labor and money 10 the cause, but who
are deferred from mapiiestng their interest in il by
fear Of failure indsposition to take part In any
public proceeding OF failure there need be no
fear. The accom- lishment OF the purposes OF the
Association is neVitabe, aud the only question is
one Of time. Long ago the tomb OF Washington
should have been a national shrine, aud longer de-
lay in its purchase would cast deep aud lasting
stigma upon our day and generation. Let those
who have heretofore withheld their contributions
and been idlers in the cause come forward now aud
help the Association 10 complete at early day its
holy aud patriotic abors all that Is asked is that
the people OF the land will carry out their own
wishes and do what they themselves desire. II
this were done, Mount Vernon could be- purchased
at once.
