Mount Vernon Papers, q letter never before pub
Iished, from Washington to Iund Washington 1T
Mount Vernon, in relation to both public and pri-

The General tells Lund about charging his house,
and urges him to get it covered though he should
have To send all over Maryland. Pennsylvania and
Virginia for nails TO do ii with. He also says: No
pecuniary satisfaction this earth can compensate
for the loss OF my domestic happiness and rcqnite
me for the load Of business that constantly presses
upon and depriyes me OF every enjoyment Mr..
hcrctt's second Mount Vernon Papcf is on the
Christmas Festival. and embraces its early history
its fantastic and b0istcrous rcvel during the six

concluding with lrving's charming description OF
the manner IN which Christmas is celebrated in
England ~ the present day and the expression OF
hope by Nh. Everett, that this hallowed and ora
cious time may diuse it, innocent cheer through
every family circle, and scatter its bounties largely
among the children of wantW On the whole II is

THE MOUNT VERNON PAPERs.-The New York
LEDGER, OF January ], issued in advance, contains
the first of the Mount Vernon Papers" to be con-
tributed by the Hon. Edward Everett. 1t fills about
two columns and half of the paper, and is a gene
RAJ iptrodncon TO the series giving .s.ssment Of
the circumstances winch have prompted the move
ment in which Mr.. T. has borne so conspicuous u
part for the purchase of the Mount Vernon estate.
indicating its present proprietor from the censure
he has received for demanding an extravagant
price for it, and concluding by proposing that each
OF the million readers of the LEDGER shall send him
half dollar, or more, towards the accomplishment
of the object. He takes occasion to say that the
series Of papers viii not be confined to this parti-
cular subject, hut will be made the medium for what
ever he may have TO communicate to the public in
regard to the character, history and memorials of
Washington. The specimen of the LEDGER which
contains this initial number suggests q more favo-
rabe estimation of its character than we had pre-
viously formed Independent of Mr. Everetts con
trihuiion il contains interesting tales well written
editorials and some excellent poetry II is withal
printed in style OF great elegance and neatness.

The NEW YORK LEDGER.-We had supposed
months ago that Mr.. Bonnerthe enterprising and
successful Bonner-had exhausted his fertile brain
in adding attractveness and merit to his hebdoma-
DIAL Viewed in any point the LEDGER is perfection
among newspapers. 1t commands the acknowl-
edged merit of country; aims high in the ncul-
eating Of moral truths, and in its typography is
pGr eBCellence the weekly OF all weeklies. The
recent accession of the Hon. Edward Everett to its
corps Of writers, was the chcf deere Of Mr. Bon
ners sagacity, and the Mount Vernon Papers"
will give both author and publisher popularity
extended as the civilized world. There l. bat one
doubt connected with tue LEDGER enterprise, and
that is where Bonner's enterprise will stop aud
when his paper will reach its maximum.

The second of the Mount Vernon Papers in the
LEDGER, by Edward Everett, is a splendid produc.
ton; dwelling upon Christmas and the manner in
which il was observed in oldcn times winding up
with fitting allusion To Washington Irving charm
ing description of the style in which Christmas is
celebrated by the English OF The present day. Mrs.
l.. II. Sigourney publishes hitherto unpublished
letter from George Washington, written about two
months after the Declaration OF independence and
directed to MY dear Lund." who was then in
charge Of his house at Mount Vernon.

The New YORK LEDGgE.--The issue OF this paper
for January LIST has appeared and contains the first
OF the Mount Vernon Papers contributed by Ed
ward Everett, who, il will be remembered, has
been engaged to write for the LEDGER one article
per week for year for the of SO 900, paid in
advance. The LEDGER has by far the largest week
ly circulation that any periodical attained in
the United States or inthe world. The proprietor,
Mr.. Bonner, appears TO throw out money in con
nection with this publication in such way as to
appear like profuson and absolute waste, yet we
presume he finds return for it in patronage.
The public may gexeome idea of the extent of
the circulation of the LEDGER by learning that d.
NJ. Dewey receives two thousand copies per week.
He has the paper on sale at wholesale and retail.

THE New YORK LED6ER.-We have received the
first number of this paper for the year. and can
cheerfully recommend it TO our readers. Two very
interesting series Of papers commenced in this
NUMBERING first of the mount Vernon Papers,
by the Hon. Edward Everett, and "a True History
OF the Colony of New Plymouth" by descendant
of Anne Bradstreet. There is also a capital poem
by John G. SAKE, spiritedly illustrated. To our
mind the literary tone of the LEDGER has greatly
improved of late, and the step forward with the
new year is still more marked There is something
wonderful in the success which has attended this
remarkable paper, and something still more
wonderful in the indefatigabe enterprise Of Bonner
Commencing with circulation Of a few thousand
he has pushed the LEDGER forward till its edition is
over three hundred thousand copies per week. Be-
fore the year expires the circulation win increase
to four hundred thousand copies and number over
million and a half of readers. This will exceed
anything known in the history of newspaper enter
prise. In our own city alone the increase =aive
within week amounts to over two thousand, aud
we presume the same is the case in all sections OF
the country. We certainly wish the LEDGE the
success it is meeting.

that both the manner and the matter of the paper
are adapted to satisfy the general expectation.
The elegance and good taste, rs respects paper,
Typography and outward arrangement, or making
up" of the Ledger, are in keeping with the supe-
rior character and tenor of the articles which it
contains, and proves that it deserves the immense
circulation it has attained, and the consequent in-
nuence it must exert. Nothing hut snobbery, or
petty envy, can jcer Mt the wonderful triumph that
Mr. Bonner has attained in journalism; for it cannot
he denied that he displays, over and above the in
credible energy and sagacity OF his character,
(Which are indispensable 20 success in great enter
pTises) rare and excellent editorial qualifications,
when render his parer worthy as well as eagerly
| desired companion OF the home and the jireside.
| There Is no risk in asserting that the LEDGER il
established upon the iirmest and best foundation
that OF intrinsic merit responsibility and patronage.
1t need excite surprise, therefore, that it is to
| be medium for the utterances Of the first scholars
| and wits of the country.
