THE MT. VERNON PURCHASE-A VIR.
GINA SCHEME.

One who is doubtless we'll informed on the Mt.
Vernon, as well as on many other questions, sends
us the following statement in reference to the or
ganization of ladies to purchase the Mt. Vernon
estate. The Developments are such as will per.
haps surprise many who have contributed in good
faith to the fund, which is ostensibly being raised
under the Inspiration Of patriotism, to redeem the
ashes and homestead of Washington from the
hands of one bearing his name, who is not held to
be n worthy guardian of the trust.-Rochester In
ion, 10h.
Ed. Union and advertiser II have read with
interest and approval what has been published in
your journal on the Mt. Vernon Fund and the
movement by the ladies to complete it, by dona,
tons and otherwise. All you have given the pub
lie in relation to the iniquity Of this scheme tc
plumber a generous people is unquestionably true
but all has not been given. You have not, / be
lieve, referred at all to some features of the swim
die, which strikes me as really the most objection
able. To these / now beg to invite your attention
and the attention of the public in q brief way.
By the act of incorporation under which the La
dies Association propose to purchase Mt. Vernon
(which | read in q Washington paper last spring,
five hundred thousand dollars must be raised-o
which two hundred thousand is to be devoted t
the purchase. and the residue-$300, 000-must b.
expended in repairs. &c. The great effort now
made is for tho two hundred thousand. and ther
the Northern public will be told that unless tn,
larger sum is contributed Mt. Vernon will be sold
to the State of Virginia for by the act of incor
%poration the association are prohibited from selling
the estate except to Virginia. Now the State OIL
Virginia desires to expend half million on Mt
Vernon, and calls upon the Northern States to give
ii to her, while at the sam time she proposes 10

own the tomb Of Washington, his homestead and
the improvements, paid for with the funds collect
ed in other States. As soon Us the last dollar Of
the half million has been expended can see moth
ing in the oct OF incorporation to prevent the sale
of Mt. Vernon to Virginia for .fUe dollars, Whit !
can see enough in that act to prevent the sale to
any other sovereign State upon any terms wbatev'
err. The present assessment upon the Northern
people, under this act of incorporation, is scarcely
different from a contribution to the treasury of n
State whose soil has been neglected because slave
trading is more profitable than agriculture.
Virginia is largely interested in this scheme, and
chiefly interested. Gov. Wise, it is said, drew up
the act Of incorporation. And the son Of the Gov.
ernor married the daughter Of Edward Everett
Whatever adds to the wealth and glory Of Virginia
now that Mr.. Wise is at her head, rebounds to the
advantage of that distinguished gentleman and his
family, of which Mr.. Everett's daughter is a mem
Der hence Mr.. Everett can afford to be generous
toward Virginia, and by his efforts swell the con
tributions to the Mt. Vernon Fund.
Let me state one fact as to the Value of Mt. Yer
non. A traveller who visited Mt. Vernon and vi
cinity not long since, in a letter stated that an es
tate adjoining the Washington place, and in al
respects as valuable, was offered for eight thousand
dollars without a purchaser. This was, of course
before the movement of the Association since thai
time perhaps the prospect of an expenditure o
three hundred thousand for improvements at Mt
Vernon may enhance the value of adjoining prop
erty.

THE WHALE FISHERY IN lS5S.-The Whale
mems Shipping List of New Bedford has compi.
led its usual annual Statement of the results of
the whale fishery for the past yocr, including the
imports and exports of oil and bone, and many
other interesting items. AS compared with for
mer years, the past has been unproductive, and in
many instances disastrous and there has been a
consequent diminution in the number of vessels
and tonnage employed in the fleet, to the amount
of S,033 tons as compared with tho previous year.
The total number Of American vessels employed
in the whale fishery is $50 ships and barks, 10
briggs, As schooners. total 203, l4S tons in the pre-
vious year.
The imports Of oil and whalebone at this port
for the year have been as follows 81 OIL bbls,
sperm, 1922 bbls, whale, and 1,540,600 lbs. of
bone. The imports of sperm oil in 1858, as COM
pared with 1857, show an increase of 1901 bbls
while of whale oil the imports are 4S, 7l8 bbls less
than in 1857. In bone also, there is a falling off
of SIS, $50 TBS. The prospects for the coming
year are not very fatteriag, but perhaps not less
encouraging than at the commencement of the
year that has just closed. There is likely to be a
further diminution of vessels employed in the feet,
and with diminished competition the business
may again be placed upon a healthy basis.

RIoHTs OF MARRIED WoMEN.-The Cleveland
Herald makes the following very just comments
upon the rights Of married women:
Talk about q man having Alright to do what he
will with his own A husbands property is net
his cwn. The wife is as much emit led to it as be
is She if not directly, at least indirectly, has been
as influential in accumulating that property as the
husband has, and certainly has had it in her
power, had she SO chosen. to have kept him q
beggar oil his life. If the word of cheer. when
the horizon looks dark if the words of caution,
when speculation is rife; if the words of hope
when calamity comes ; if the words Of prudence.
when prosperity smiles could be measured by
dollars and cents, every husband would lay the
bulk of his fortune at the feet of his wife as an
act of naked justice, for her fundamentally in
shaping his pecuniary destiny. 1t is downright
cruelty to provide in profusion for q wife's wants
during coverture, and-through thoughtlessness
or ecklessness-leave her at the husbands death
ia poverty. 1t is the height of meanness in a man
who dies rich, to attempt to hamper his willow sc
that she shall not have an abundance, and have
it, too absolutely her own to do with it what she
sees fit. Married women have TOO few rights
while their husbands are living, and assuredly
husbands should not seek to reach out OF theii
graves to control their widows"
