The Mount vernon association.

Our readers saw by a paragraph in this paper
yesterday, says the Mobile Tribune 9th inst, that
MI Everett is still Jealous in behalf of the Mount
Vernon Association. The statement is that by his
delivery of his famous Grafton on the character of
Washington, he has collected for the Association
the extraordinary sum of $50 900 How few men
of his position would have devoted their attention
to work so purely unselfsll Our own State has
a gentleman who has exhibited similar interest
in 1t. We allude to Mr.. Yancey-whole elouuence
so stirred the hearts of our citizens on the Fourth
of July.
We gratifed to learn that we are also to
have another great cO-worker in the cause We
allude to our accomplished and distinguished towns
woman, Mrs. Levert. 1t is fit that she take part
in it-for she is the descendant of one who was the
intimate friend of w asbingtou! What more appro-
pirate than that she whose grandfather stood con.
spcuous among the great men of the revolution
and high in the confidence and friendship of Wash
ington, should join heartily in completing this es-
mable ok! Through her solicitation we learn
that Mr.. Everett has consented to visit Mobile next
winter for the purpose of delivering his Grafton
With her influence and sympathy, it will 20 hard
if Mobile does not make up the largest contribution
in the South.
But we also learn that she has exhibited more
generous devotion to the cause by resolving
to contribute to it a per centage of the sale of
her work, the "SOuvenirs of Travel" which has
been just published in New York That will WELD
considerable sum, for predict that the book
viii have an unprecedented sale within the c9un-
Try.
1t is this union of benevolence with genius and
accomplishments that makes the name of Mrs lie
vert spell among those who have the privilege of
her acquaintance.

The ~. T. Post Of Saturday, says
The new Collins steamship Adratic the largest
ship in the world 1.-THE Great Eastern not et hav-
ing been launched, now lies at the company's dock
at the foot OF Canal street. She was brought around
from the balance dock at the foot of Rutgers street
yesterday forenoon. She is now taking 10 coal and
being scrubbed and cleaned, to be repanted aud
finished up generally, Some additional light work
Is also being doEe to her machinery, bat whether
any further alteration Is TO be made we could not
learn.
Five or six men were engaged this morning in
making calculations over a model of her machinery
IN one OF the cabins. Her machinery is to be tried
first at the wharf, and she is expected TO De ready
for short trial trip Gown the bay sometime next
week. She is advertised to sail for Liverpool on
the 25th inst, and it is said she will undoubtedly
be ready TO sail promptly on that day.
Her proportions as she lice at the dock are spleE-
did. The Atlantic lies on the opposite side, aud
has been put in fine ORDER she is beautiful vessel
but contrasted with the Adriatic locks like mere
tender. The great maze OF the Adratc's cabins
dining halls, state rooms aud passage wings, are
fitted up with costly mirrors SOFAS aud every other
conceivable luxury, in a style of bewilderng mag
ni6cence.
She is 20 be commanded by Captain James West,
for six years past the popular commander OF the
Atlantic, and it is npprehended that the only draw
back to the pleasure OF voyage across ia ocean
IN her will be that it will hardly last long enough.
Her owners express a confidence that the Adriatic

By an unlueky accident at the dry dock, some
OF the head timbers Of the Adriatic were slightly
sphntered but the damage be repaired at little
expense aud without ioss Of time.

The highest enjoyment of Frenchman is to have
the last cantatrice in a fashionable opera. The
SPaniard's transport reaches its climax when in the
arena the matador, with skillful thrust, stretches
his antagonist in the dust The Neapoiitan fnds
his paradise in the lengthening consciousness of his
maccaroni. The German rises to his heaven on tbe
cloud of his dreamful pipe and misty metaphysics
The Englishman grows comfortably extatic over
roast beef and naval glory. The Turk ascends to
his seventh heaven among the hours while he
smokes his Narghiac and sips his mocha. The At
rican, with his banjo his knee, is ''off for the
other side of Jordan" The Irishman's chief 10Y

If the people of Wilson county ever intend to
enjoy the advantages of railroad communication
with Nashville, and consequently with the whole
country-if they desire to be up with the age, and
on an equal footing with their sister counties-noO
Is the time to strike. There is already charter
for railroad from Nashville through Lebanon on
20 Knoxville, with STATE aid granted to the amount
OF $4,000 per mile In a short time the period to
which the Charter was extended by the last Legis-
lature, will exPrei after which, it will be impossi-
Die for our people to reap the advantages of State
aid. Three hundred thousand dollars from the
pockets of the people OF the county will be suffi-
Gent to build road either to Nashville or Muir
treesboro'. WHAT'S $500, 900 to the people of Will
son county, We venture the prediction that the
wheat crop of the county for the present year would
bring every dollar of it. This would not be loss
to the people. The value of the land and of the
produce Of the country would be sufficiently en-.
HANGED to pay for the road. When will the people
OF Wilson-one of the largest and weathest coun-
ties in the State-rouse up the importance of this
work We are now paying tax of twenty thou
sand dollars annually, the greater part Of which
goes into the State Treasury to be legslated away
TO build railroads, construct bridges, &c, in other
portions OF the State. Yes, other counties are
growing rich out of the money from the pockets of
the people of Wilson county, while we are 80 years
behind the times They have their railroads. grow
ing in importance and prosperity, while we are
treading the same old path that our fathers trod
century ago. People of Wilson county when will
you take a bold stand for your own interests p

Prentice UPON BAYARD TAYLOR. - Prentice
thinks there is a VeIy percepdbIe falling off in
Bayard Taylor's recent letters. He says that the
poet-traveler's genius is running to the surface;
that he is becoming a mere literal chronicler of
outward sights. g His recent letters from Eu.
rope" he says, "are arid and superficial as the
soil over which he trod. Instead of Astounding
in beautiful suggestions, and sparkling with the
dews of poetry, Ss his letters once did, they are
as Parehed and crisp as pasture-held in a severe
drouth. His inner life seems TO have been drunken
up by the consuming blaze OF novelty. He has
travelled too much for his own good. Let him
marry that German leve Of his, and live for while
10 greatly needs the culture Of llfe's trials"
