U VERNON.

The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association has
been incorporated by the Legislature of Virginia,
and we are grati6cd to learn that, under the aus
pieces of our patriotic countrywoman, the "South-
ern Matron," the negotiations for the purchase of
the venerated " Home of Washington" are in sue
cessful progress. Mr.. WASHINGTON has consented
to convey the property to the Association, upon
the faith pledged by the Ladies.
That they may redeem this pledge, made with o
firm reliance upon the aid of the "sterner sex"
the ladies now appeal irresistibly to the patriotic
impulses of their countrymen, and to none with
more of confidence than to those attached to the
time-honored Order, of which WASHINGTON was,
from early manhood, q consistent, working and
most worthy member. 1t has pleased rs to OBJ
serve that this call has been answered, CALAMITY
and in the true Masonic spirit, by several Lodges
in this State, and we feel sure that oil will in due
time make q response worthy Of the cause-a
cause which must be very dear to every sincere
lover of his country, and which appeals with
especial force to the peculiar sympathies, the
poblest impulses, the honest pride Of the Masonic
fraternity, whose boast it is that the Father of his
Country" was a brother, and whose answer to the
reyiliugs, the bitter opposition, the gross lmputa-
lions of the enemies of the Order, is made most
potent by pointing to the great and good name
inscribed iudellibly upon the roll of the Lodge
! To fail in such q work; to falter when thus called
upon to turn a deaf ear to such anappeal, would
imprint a stain upon the Masonic name which
many goud works might not efface.
But whatever others may do, we expect much
| from Philsuthroplc Lodge. We trust that further

BETHEL

Mr.. Editor "A portion of your readers may
feel an interest in the s~ubjoined notes on Bethel
Presbytery.
.Twenty.six churches are located within the
bounds of the Bethel Presbyterian Union Dis
trict, four; York, ten ; Lancaster, three, and an
other soon to be organized; Chester, six; and two
in Fairfield. Sixteen ministers are laboring in
these localities: two in Union eight in York;
three in Chester one in Fairfield one in Lancas-
ter; and one, at this time, in New York. One
Licentiate and two candidates are under the charge
of Presbytery. There are twenty-five hundred
COMMITMENTS, of which nearly six hundred are
Blacks, and about o~ne-balf, Il. e. 1200l arc in
York District. The Elders number one hundred
and forty.
The Presbytery held its regular Spring session
at Zion church, in Chester District ; and was
opened, on the third instant, by q sermon By Rev.
JOHN S. HARRIS, from diets 20: 81, discussing
.'the claims of Doctrinal preaching in declaring all
the counsel of God" Rev. S. L. WATSON was
chosen Moderator, and Rev. j.. F.. WHITE, Clerk.
Fourteen ministers and eighteen elders were in
attendance.
But little business was transacted, beyond the
regular routine. During the session, sermons
we're preached by Rev. Messrs. HARRISON, Wat
SON, SMITH (of Alabama, who was Providentially
presently MCCORMICK and JAMES; the last of whom
preached the 'tAnnual Sermon on Ministerial Ed
u~cation."
The Lords Supper was administered on the Sab
bath and an interesting prayer-meeting held on
Tuesday morning, at which an appropriate and
stirring address was made by Rev. J. NJ. H. AD-
ANS, discussing the subjectof ~revivals of religion,
showing some of the characteristics of the one
now prevailing the country, and the means desi-
rable to be employed in promoting a true revival.
Rev. R. L. BEALL received and accepted q call
from Fishing Greek Church, and will be installed
as Pastor on the 18th of May. Lancaster Church
obtained permission to secure the services of Rev.

THE OUTSIDE.

\ friend has promised to enrich our columns by
contributions on subjectso Of science. His first pa
per-introductory to a series of familiar discoures
on Astronomy-will be found on the outside page.
1t will repay the reader.
On the fourth page, our publisher has inserted
that inimitable story about the adventures OF
Lovengood's parent while acting in the capacity of n
L: plow.nag." This side-splitting column-fullmust
be allowed to take n place alongside of "Cousin
Sally Dillard," and like Cousin Sally it must
be told over in these columns at least oncea year.
If you value your own happiness, reader, turn
over to it and take a benefit. On an average, it
will add more juices to the physical system than
any other application whatever.

WEEDS PATENT SEWING MAcHINE.-The Editor
of the Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealer, says: Sew.
ing Machines are o subject Of the greatest interest
in this vicinity, as they affect the labor of every
family in the land. With a view Of purchasing
and of examining every kind, to fnd the best, we
spent several days while in New York, in minutest
inspection of oil kinds now in market, and our
conclusions were in favor of Weeds Patent, as the
most reliable Machine to put in the hands Of every
one throughout the State. We purchased one of them
and have used it some time, and our opinion is
more than confirmed for it does every kind of sew
ing on cloth or leather, does its work strong, nice
and rapidly, and has never been out Of working
order since it come into our family, and it is so
simple as seemingly impossible to get out of order
or require repairs more than any ordinary person
can perform. 1t is nicely ornamented, and makes
IN ornament to the furniture of a parlor. It is
very strong and little liable to wear out. Its ope-
ra,ion can be easily learned with the printed direc-
tons for a guide, and when any family has learned
its use, we are sure they will not live without it.
1t uses two threads, thus making work stronger
than if done by hand with one thread, besides
making both sides of the work just alike. Those
who need a Sewing Machine will do well to look at
this.

THE CHARLESTON NORMAL SCHOOL.

The advertisement of the Executive Depart
ment," in this weeks paper will commend itself
to the attention of the Free-School Board, and of
teachers, male and female, throughout the Dis
trict. To teachers who are devoted to the noble
objects of their profession. a visit to this model
school would be peculiarly interesting and profit
able. During the last Legislature, we heard from
Col. MEMMINGER n graphic statement of the opera
tons of his praise-worthy enterprise, and were
we to visit Charleston we could not be induced to
forego the pleasure of an hours attendance at the
ssPublic School House."
Besides the practical purpose to which it is dt-
rected, the invitation of the Governor will afford to
our teachers a favorable opportunity to extend
their acquaintance with men and things in the me
troplis-at a triAing cost. Mr.. ADAMS, the Presi-
dent of our Road, will, we doubt not, readily CO.
operate with the other Companies in the State. in
extending the Accommodations solicited by the Gov
ernor. If possible, make your visit between the
first and fifth of June.

Basn We are very DESTROYS to give particular

and to this end, We would ask our friends in the
various portions of the District, Postmasters and

matters Of general interest, that may transpire IN

has turned his attention to the naval preparation,
md that great activity prevails at the naval depots
and yards. He allowed the Montteur to give pub
licity to severe invectives against perfidlous Eng
land, and, though disclaiming Government authorl-
ty for the same, he has since become an incendlary
pamphleteer himself, and, under the name Of an
other, has abused England roundly for her gross
ingratitude to him, who had been her dlslnterested
benefactor.
1t is true he has allowed the new British minis
try to temporize with him, and has graclously
granted them an explanation, not q rctraction, OF
the offensive letter of his Minister. The new min
istry were compelled, for the sake of peace, to re-
sort to q species of diplomacy that Palmerston
would have despisel-that is, to submit to Napo-
lean, for revision, a draft Of Lord Malmesbury's
letter before it was sent. This fact was alleged
in the House of Commons, and was evaded, not
denied.
Thus it will be seen that Napoleon holds a very
menacing attitude towards England, while, at the
same time, he has bullied Switzerland, threatened
Sardinia, and made n demand upon Austria, in re-
lation to the asylum afforded there for refugees,
or in regard to the license allowed to the prsss in
discussing his measures.
So far, in this contest, England has not positive
ly yielded much, except through the DEF recatory
diplomacy of her Government. No conspiracy
bill has been proposed. The F%reuchman, DR.. Ber-
nard, has been prosecuted as an accessory to MUIR
der but his accomplish, Col. Allsop, who is here
as n refugee, has not been demanded by the Brit
ish Government, and England has refused to per-
nit Sardinia to surrender the English subject who
is charged with being one Of the consplrators a.
gainst Napoleon's life.
Upon q survey of the entire situation Of affairs,
we can hardly be surprised atany thing thatmight
next turn up.
In case of general war in Europe, this coun-
try will have o part to act with q view to her own
dignity and interests. We must maintain, al all
hazards, our doctrine of the freedom of the seas;
and, possibly. circumstances may occur which will
render it both convenient and necessary to acquire
Cuba, and obtain possession of the Isthmian pass
