TIE PURCHASE OF MoUNT VERNON The Philadelphia Press says. "An item from an Eastern paper found it's way, ac- cidentally, into our news columns day or two since, setting forth that in conse- quence of the failure of MT. John A. Washington, the proprietor of Mount Vernon, the purchase money already paid for the estate was likely to be lost, as MT. w., being involved, could not give a title. Such is by no means the case.- The contract, and all the arrangements between the ladies of the Mount Vernon Association and MT. Washington, are such that neither his failure nor any judg- ments that may result therefrom can in any way affect the title to the Mount Yer non estate. We are glad to learn, more . over, that very nearly sufficient amount to complete the purchase has been realiz- ed but it is intended to make the fund sufficient to put the whole estate in re- pair, and for this purpose the ladies of the Association are now actively prosecu- ling their collections, pickering to perfect the whole plan by their own efforts. rather than to ask, as they well might do, the aid of Congress"

LEvEE CONTRACTS ON WHITE RI

LEvEE CoNrRAcrs ON WHITE RIv- ER.-By reference to n !" Notice" in our columns, which we publish gratuitously 1t will be observed that the State Engineer advertises to let out the constructing of a levee from near Gregory's Landing, ex. tending down White river to Upper Sur rounded Hill. The distance is estimated at near nineteen miles, and extends across Bayou Cache, through which, as is well known, the water from White river rushes and causes Cache river to overhow.- This levee will redeem hundreds of thou. sands of acres of the most productive land in the State. We are pleased to learn that proper steps have been taken to com- plete this very important levee, bu, we are at loss to conjecture why the State Engineer gave so short notice of the letting out of the contracts also, why Clarendon should have been selected in preference to Augusta or Des Arc as a proper place for the Engineer to attend and receive bids. Des Arc and Augusta are both nearer the proposed line of leyee than Clarendon.

 HELENA, Nov. 12, 1859.
 Thomas c. Peek, Editor of the Old Line Democrat--DEAR SIR:-I have just heard of serious accident to my mother, sister and three little nieces, near Lamar, Mississippi, on last Sunday. They were returning in a carriage from church, and the driver had stopped to shut a plantation gate, when the horses started, became alarmed at the scream ing of the children and run away, breaking the carriage to atoms. All were considerably injured, especially my mother, her collar bone being broken, and she being otherwise badly hurt. At her advanced age (of seventy years) the result may be very serious.

TnE s'vIAroR" LETTERS. During the recent canvass of Col. T. c. HINpMAN through the First Congressional District, number of spirited and we'll written letters were published in the Helena State Rights Democrat over the signature of "VIAroR" Col. HINDnAs's enemies charged that he was the author of them, and discoursed largely upon the subject matter thereof, talked about proof in the premises, and made the usual 'sfour. ish of trumpe,s," which has for the past few months predominated in the upper story of the friends of the Johnson Dy. nasty. But like all their efforts to injure Col HINpMAN, this too has fallen to the ground. and il is now proven that w. L.

NOTICE. Eevee Contracts to let On White River, in the BateSville District.

r HAVE just completed thorough survey l. of the route upon which to construct very important levee, commencing on ths East side of White river, near Gregory's landing and extending down White river for distance of nineteen and half miles to upper Surrounded Hill and am ready to let out contracts for the construction of said eyee. The whole cost of constructing this levee is, by my survey and calculations, estimated to amount to one hun- dred and twenty-nne thousand, six hundred and nine dollars and sixty cents. The work will be let to different contractors in limited quantities so that it may be contracted as early as possible.
 On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 9th, 9th and 7th days of December. A. D. 1859, will be in CLARENDON, in Monroe county, Arkansas, for the purpose of letting out this work, and should it not all be let out during that time, for the constructing of the residue of the work, persons who shall de- sire to obtain contracts, after the time stated, will apply to the Governor of the State of Ar kansas, at Little Rock. The price that will be allowed for constructing the levee is fixed at twenty cents per cubic yard in woodland, and fifteen cents per cubic yard in cleared land, payable as the law prescribes, in specie or in land certificates with which any of the Swamp and Overflow lands in the Batesville District may be purchased at fifty cents per acre if more than six miles from navigable stream, and seventy-fve cents per acre if within six miles of navigabe stream.

Mar tin, United States Marshal for the western district of Virginia. Unless, therefore, the prisoner, who is severely wounded, should die beforehand, the trial will take place before Judge Brockenbrough, in Stannton. in May next. The obiec, of the transfer is said to be to compel the atten. dance of certain parties at the North as witnesses. The trial will be without ap- peal; as from the peculiar Legislation af- fecting the jurisdiction of this federal dis trict, Judge Toucy has decided that no circuit court for the United States can be held therein. Consequently all such cases as this. in which otherwise an appeal would lie to a United States circui. court. mss be final.-[Staunton Spectator.
