TuE,NEw YORK LEDGER.-The first of Mr.. Everetl's
mount Vernon Papers makes its appearance in
the number of the LEDGER which was published yes

giving statement OF the circumstances which have
prompted the movement in which Mr.. r. has borne
conspicuousa part-ior the purchase OF the Mount
Vernon estate, indicating its present proprietor
from the he las received Tor demanding an
extravagant price for il, and concluding by propos-
ing that each of the million readers OF the LEDGER
shall send him hafa dollar or more towards the &C
compishment of the object He takes occasion 10 say
that the series Of papers will not be confined TO this
particular subject, but will be made the medium for
whatever he may have to communicate to the pub
Tic in regard 10 the character, history and memorials
of Washington.
The appearance of this article from Mr. Everetts
pen viii bring the LEDGER 10 the notice OF very
many persons Who have not been in the habit OF
reading il hitherto. They have formed their OPT
Mon of the paper from the current ne wspaper re-
presentations of it-they viii be disappointed IN its
character. Instead of one OF the Hash wcehies OF
the day, filed with exciting and demoralizing fic-
ton, they Will find it of the most carefully
edited journals OF the day, abounding in judcious
practical suggestions, conveyed IN the most uneX-
rcptouoi terms, and fastdiously avoiding every
ting which offend good taste or the most rigid
morality Mr.. Bonner is fully entitled 10 the
praise not only OF being the most astute and
.nte-prising publisher, but of being also the most
Iu0ci"us and successful practical editor Of the day.

catered 20 the public taste than by the bold energy
with which IL has conducted the business OF his

contain interesting stories, well written editorials,
and very pleasing poetry. The tone of both prose
and verse, are free 70 say, we found not only
nnohjeciionabe, but such merits approval while
the talent displayed by the different writers Is in
Gisputable. H. not necessary for rs 10 enlarge on
Mr.. Eyerett's contribution. IL IS smooth, polished
description Of the present state OF Mount Vernon,
plain straightforward and favorable view OF the
action Of Mr.. John A. Washington in reference 70
tho estate ard contains also other matter In relation
TO the Mount Vernon Fund which all will find in
