An Appeal to tbo Citizens of the United j Statoa. Tt is well known to you, that on the Gth ; of April, 1858, a contract was signed l?e- i twecn John A. Washington, proprietor of | Mt. Vernon, and the Urgent of thu Mt. Ver- j nou Ladies' Association, by which the inanbion and tomb of Washington, and two hun- j drcd acres, are to bucome tho property of j the nation. Tbo title to bo held by tlio Association, and the property to be transferred on the payment of *200,000. All interest j on said sum to bo remitted, should the , whole amount be paid on the 22d of Febru- | ary, 1859, the anniversary of tbo birth-day ! of the father of his country. The assumption, by woman, of so vast n ! responsibility as-tho collection of this sum, and the additional one of *>:J00,000, necessary for the repairs, improvement and preservation of the estate, was hailed with joy, I not only by tho millions of this great ttepublic, but by the millions across tho sea, in : J the fathcrlaud of the children of Wash- ! ington. I 1 This solemn obligation was assumed < when the association had scare extended ' bej-ond the Southern States, in which it had j its origin, but woman had faith in the dfplh ; ( of love and revcrencc felt for tho illustrious ! i j'.iuiui, miu tournjjc 10 UCUlcate lierself to ! ' tlio liuly work uf developing it to the height j ' of the generosity required to secure the pos- ! j sessio f his saured ashes. And now, when j i that anniversary approaches?an atmiver- ' i sary to which others than our own nation ! turn, as the fitting time for a grateful people ! 1 to reward h-;r labors?I place before yo'.i < } the result of the devotion of the women of j j the land, and call upon you to judge be- I t tween them and (lie nation in whoso pal- ' ? riotism they confided. By their exertions, the association has en- j t larged from nine Stales to twenty-six. lis i I boundaries extend from Maine to California ?from Minnesota to Florida. Twenty-four { ' Vice Regents have entered upon their duties j ' in their respective Stales. Through their E indefatigable efforts, ami those of their gen- > crous ally?the Hon. Edwar?i Everett?the ' treasurer of the association has bee'i enabled to pay to Mr. Washington, in addition to , the ?18,000 paid 011 signing the contract, ! the first instalment of ?'57,000, due on the s 1st of January, 1859, with the interest]' thereon; $10,000 on the 14th of Deccinbor, i the fifty-eighth anniversary of Washington's i . death; $5,000 on the Gth of February, and j $10,000 011 the 11th of February instant, making $25,000 on the second instalment { of $41,0GG.GG, due on the 22d of February. . . \ 18G0; to which, in addition to the $15,000 ( invested by the association, makes upwards 1 ! of $117,000 reported to the Regent up to ' date. Additional sums arc known to be i ' collected in various parts of the country. j ' The purity of their patriotism, the zeal, i . energy and self-sacrificing spirit which ac-1 \ tuatos them and their co-laborers, are best ; J shown by the moral influence already exert- j ! ed, and which is so eloquently described in ! ' the words of another: i . "The present awakening of public feeling j I toward the memory of Washington, would j suffice to .encourage the friends of our race. 1 It is pure and high enough to challenge the sympathy of angels. \Ve may point to it ! , as a mark of Heaven's favor?a sign that j I Providence has not deserted us in punish- 1 1 ment of our national, sins?a timely revival j' of the religion of noble thoughts?n lilossnd i touch on the electric chord of sympathy j . which ought oftener to thrill a country pos- j j scs:>ing such an origin and such an expeii- j I enco as ours. Let us hail it as an auspi- j 1 ciousomen, as tlio inauguration of a new telegraph of the heart, deep laid and love fraught, like that new bond of humanity, which, if rot now, must ere long awaken the pulses of the continents?and seeing these things, lot us bless God and take courage." But prosperous as the association bus ! been ; entering upon tho new year with i high hopes and renewed zeal, determined : to pass onward until tha goal is obtained it is evident from the statement now made, tbat Mt.

A woman so grief-striken lint i*. seemed as though ono foalIter's kv??iif!it more of suffering would crush her i.sir.-iy, rose as Ellen (>rey entered, a painV.l llush crimsoning her wan face; fori h?u<r|i ileal, her clothes were milch worn, j Hi'' *ne iiail neither shoes nor stockings. i K.lui ipiielily explained her reasons for | wning, and gathered from the woman a J iteous account of their sufferings.. Their amily name was Howard. They had been ?oor; but a? lon^ as the mother could obain work, tln v had not suffered from hunger or eold. Now she could get nothing to io, their money was gone, and they had lot lasted food that day. "She did not :are for herself," '-lie said, '"but what would jccome of her poor children ?" A deep groan burst from the lips of the vrelohed father, ami arising, ho tottered to- \ ,vards tlie door.

Tiie poor man looked bewildered, and it | va- only when the sweet girl had once and ! igain urged her request, that the required >romisc was given. 'Oh, sir," and Ellen Grey's tones were nil of gladness, "I'm So glad you've premised ; hut you mustn't try to keep it alone, j ;?.:i must ask t >od to help you."
