Yet I c.iiiuot help foreseeing that as tho property of any private person or associa tion, this lamentable result must sooner or biter occur.

M'e fieffcve that P7(in.rmo fs (ho amount which Mr. Washington a-ks for Mount Ver non. From what we ha-e heard of the pres ent condition of the estate, we incline tothu opiiii .n that it. wo. ild take about il Oil, (HID more to put it in order. l'o--ilily, after it was obtained, and put iu order, for tiiis very moderate amount, it might bo kept in order at the trifling expenditure of ?'J.j,O0O per annum. In view of these probabilities, we quite agree with Mr. Washington in tin; doubt which he seems to entertain whether "the plan devised by the ladies is praetica- l le As the la-t resting place of the mortal re mains of C eorge Washington, as the home w Inch was iia'lowd by his presence duiiin life, it is impossible to place too high a val ue upon Mount Vt-rnon. It can no more be e-timated in dollar-and cents, than the sun light or the free air. All the gold of Cali fornia could not pay for it. Apart, howev er from its hallowed associations, it is not at a. I more valuable, we are informed, than the other poor farms of that region, and as an estate, has gone down, we learn, till it presents lew signs of its former couditiou. If this be true, apart from its associations with the memory of Washington, tho placu - i o 'd 1 scarcely be worth the acceptance of the I niteit Mates or ot irgima, even it Mr. Washington should " present it a frc gift to the State or nation.
