Mount Vernon Fund.

Some weeks ago. we published an APP
peal by the ladies of Virginia, through
"a SOUTHERN NATION, to the ladies of the
South, for aid in raising a fand for the
purchase of Mount Vernon. We accom-
panied that publication with brief edito-
rial. in commentator Of the project and
calling upon the ladies of Nashville to give
.. it their eountenance and assistance. Since
that time, we have received a number of
copies of printed directions, and blank sub
scrfption lists, showing fully how to pro-
coed in the premises These are at the
service Of our lady friends, and can be had
on application at our Office Nashville
stands pre-eminent among the. cities of the
I. Union, as to the beauty and virtue and &C
complishmentS of its ladies, and this repu-
tation has doubtless been enhanced and ex-
tended by the splendid incidents Of the last
week. We have undertaken to say that
their generosity devotion of heart and
patriotism are not surpassed by their per-
sonal grace and loneliness We feel as
.sured that we are not mistaken; and that
it only requires movement on the part of
some one or a few of them, for the feeling
and interest to become general, in favor of
the proposed purchase of the home of WASH
INGToN. 1t is our desire to see this, the
State par excellence, of fair women and brave
men, present distinguished mark of its
generation for the memory and services of
Washington, and testify its devotion to the
perpetuty of this glorious Union, which he
was mainly Instrumental in founding, by a
liberal share in the work of consecrating.
his home and present resting place as |
sacred shrine, to remain nvolable through |
all future ages. Will not some of our fair
friends take the initiative at once, by taking
the lists and soliciting subscriptions?
We may add that the first association
formed in the State viii be the executive
one of the State, to which all others will
be tributary. Let the work be presently
commenced.

SOMETHING OF JuMp.-From the Niagara
Falls GdSstte we learn that on Saturday even-
ing last, Mrs. Flynn, whose husband is Ia :
borer at that place, jumped over the bank OF
the Niagara river:
To every appearance she struck in the top
OF tree after sail of about 100 feet and fell
from there to the bottom. When sue left
home she kissed her children, bid them good
bye, and told them to inform Mr.. Flynn that
be would see her no more. She was observed
to go towards the bank Of the river, and was
found soon after taking the fearful leap. When
found she was sitting very composedly, cogi-
tating, we suppose, on the uncertainty of hu-
man calculations, especially when predicated
on untried experiments. She was considera-
bly, bruised and scratched, but not much more
than frequently happens 10 al ordinary shin

We learn thatour Representative made
speech at GAINESVILLE, Wednesday, in re-
gard to his position, &c. There were a
good many persons in attendance, repre-
senting every county in the district. His
speech was well received, and, it is believ.
ed, gave much satisfaction even to those
of our friends who have been most active
in their opposition to him. We trust that
the Americans and Wings of the district
viii cordially unite upon him, aud permit
our gallant candidates for Governor and
for Senator in the Montgomery district to
run without encouragement from divisions
amongst their party friends.
