TxRpRisI.-A few days ago We copied from tue New
York Ledger a paragraph in which the editor stated
that upon the completion Of arrangements then 10
progress he should make annunclation that wonld
ereate greater sensation than anything that had oc-
CURED n the publishing business IN this country We
Won dered al the time what this aonuncation could be,
vet xe knew perfectly well that Bonner always as
good ss Ms word and often little good deal bet
kr-tbat is that hc did less bat ofentImes more
Than be promised.
The promised anpuneiaton has nov been made by
Telegraph The Hon. Edward Everett has paid over
70 the Mount Vernon Association ten Thousand dol
lars received by him from the editor OF the Newfork
Ledger in confederation of his giving to that paper
throup hout the coming year original weekly conri-
buttons under the head of Mount Vernon Papers.
This indeed IL such arrangement as 10 other pub
Usher in the United States if in tn. world ever had
the Iberahty and bOdness to make. Edward Everett
is the most accomplished scholar now living, aud we
know not where to look for his equal in taste aud
knowledge and genius and in grace beauty, splendcr
and magnficence Of thought and dcti"n. The fact
that writer like him has engaged. 1T an extra0'd
nary rate Of remuneration, 10 contribute regularly To
weekly faulty newsps7er, must OF course create an |
inmons demand foI th paper everywhere through
out tie nation ar .wben t is knoSn that, III idi
on to bis splendid contributions, the eaue paper has
regular Of twenty other Wrl,trS,
each Of whom has a national reputation, the agere
gate cf the salaries paid ont amour ting To Mt c ist
IL ry thousand dollars per year aud prcbsbly more,
iy the demand cannot fad te be literally tremend-
VM The Ledger's present circulation Of nearly half
q ilion may be expected to rise rapidly to million.
Mr.. Everett, in his weekly writings for the Ledger,
win, no doubt, give to the world much in relation TO
Washington that the world does not now know. The
hie and character of Washington are theme to which
be has for years devoted much thought and study and
reflection; theme which he understands and appre-
IL II g
generation; theme upon which he has spoken and
written TO the admiration and exquisite delight of hun-
dreds Of thousands of our countrymen but it Is to be
presumed that in his contributions TO the Ledger, for
each Of which he has received about two hundred
dollars in advance, be will not conine himself to the
character and deeds Of the iustrous father OF our
country but give whatever he believes will be most
interesting and edfy ing TO the myriads OF readers of
that periodical. lie viii, no doubt, take range as
wide and boundless as his own geniu'. He will do as
much for the Ledger as he coud do II he wore us
editor for he will feel it his duty and his pleasure IN
view Of the great salary received By bm, TO devote
his noblest energies 10 the work.

From The Charleton Is. c. Courier.
The "spurge' Of Bonner in engaging the Hon |
Edward Everett to write weekly communications FOR |
the Ledger at $4,000 year, is the talk OF tue town.
Ths is the bodest and most sensible move Bonner, IN
all bic advertising vagarics has yet made and places
him head and shoulders above Barnum, in his high
est humbugs. Everybody who before made fun OF |
Bonner and his Ledger, now begin to think there may
be really something substantial in it, e,pe who |
looked at it before, now that Mr. ENeTeu Is 10
lend the vigor and beauty of his mind TO enr.eh lts
columns, will learn with surprise that had already
an array Of brilliant writers surpassed by no weehy
journal in THE country and equaled by very few ot ihe
more pretentous monihhes .
Bonner is to-day the genius of tue publishing word.
He is very compacenty receiving the congraiuiatVAS
Of bis friends and does not hesitate to say that ior
the $40 600 be pays Mr.. Everett, DC will realize SiU,
co., The poor type-seer OF eight or nine years ago,
has become quite a nabob aud people who tlen |
would have looked down upon him with something !
hike contempt, not now ashamed to bow 10 hin as
he sump;uously dimes at the Actor House, or take
friendly brush behind fast hOres on the road, with
his double team.
