To "a .S7uttern .H0tr0a :"
Madam Your letter of March 18th has been
received, in which you inform me that the bill
providing for the purchase of Mount Vernon by
Virginia, has been defeated in the House of Dele

Vernon Association, you renew your offer to pur-
chase this place.
Heretofore, l have only been willing to dispose
of Mount Vernon to the United States, or to Vir-
ginia, as believe that in the hands of one or the
other, 1T would be better protected aud preserved,
than in the possession of any individual or as.

ever, seem to INDICATE, that neither Virginia nor
the United States, wish to acquire the place. In

tainly be the purest-guardians of national
shrine, L am willing SO far 10 comply with yonr
request, as to await for reasonably limited Pc
rIod of time, the propositions you wish 10 make
to Inc on behalf Of the Association over which
you preside. Aud assure you that unless these
proposals are inconsistent with what believe to
be my duties upon the occasion, shall be inclin-
ed TO give them the most favorable consideration.
With assurances of the highest respect,
have the honor to be,

THE sUNKEN SHIPS AT SEBAsroPot.-The Con-
stantinople correspondent of the London Times
writes
The schooner Silver Key and the steamer Cen
erai Knox, belonging to the American Wreekipg
Companies which undertook to raise the vessels of
war sunk in the harbOr of Sebastopol have return
ed to Constantlnple, and are advertised for SALE
me attempt to raise the sunken vessels has COM
pletely failed; not one ofthem was recovered. The
Black Sea teredo, so often attributed to the we'll
calculated Imagination Of the Russian Admiralty
IS stern reality. 1t has eaten up the body of the
Russian fleet, leaving only the outer shell. The
wheel OF the Twelve Apostles has been brought
down as specimen. Although it consisted of
strong mahogany, two years and half in the wa
ters OF sebastopol have reduced its weight TO al
most nothing No external change is visible be-
yond few small holes, where the greedy miners
sunk their shafts. The most approved contri
vances were tried by the two rival companjes-
The vessels were caulked aud made seemingly wa
ter-tIght, but when it came to pumping il was
found that the timber was SO rotten thar tho wa
ter percolated everywhere through the galleries
made by the teredo. To this in itself inyiDchIe
difficulty, must be added the fact that most of the
vessels had sunk from four to six fathoms into the
mud. EeVen II the ships had been raised they
would have been of no use. As they could not be
raised it was tried to blow them up in order 10
clear the harbor, which at this moment is so block.
ed up that only a narrow channel marke ed ont by
buoys Is left, through which small vessels with
to the tlmberis however SO great that not even
the attempts to blow the vessels up succeeded-
As much as 5000 pounds of powder was tried with
a two-decker, but, as the rotten timber had too
little power of resistance, the result was that the
weakest point gave way, and the explosion tore
out small part in the side of the vessel leaving
the rest altogether untouched. The harbor must
thus remain blocked up until by degrees the work
OF the teredo is done and the ships fall to pieces
According TO the account brought down eighty
one vessels were found sunk, which is:much more
Than ever was known or supposed. The compa
nies have brought up sufficient anchors, cables
&C. to pay at any rate, part of their expenses and
