THE WAR NEWS.
The Paris correspondent of the Globe gives
some details of the hosts marshalled between the
Rhine and the Alps. At Antipcs there are 12,
000 men; at Grenoble 40,000; at Valence 30,000;
at Lyons 50,000; at Besancon 20,000. At Toulon
there are transports for 60,000 men and materials;
and out of the 80,000 troops in Algeria it is stated
that 50,000 are expected to be drafted into Italy.
The Paris correspondent of Daily News, writing
on the sight of the 7th, says that all the news dur
ing the day was excessively warlike. The director-general
of the Sardinian railways had had a
long interview with the Emperor. It was an
nounced that the National Guard of Paris was
likely to be increased from 30,000 men to 150,000
so as to render the regular army of Paris available
for a campaign. Lastly, it was reported that the
English squadron at Malta had been ordered to
the Adriatic.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times says the
Austrian government has proposed to Prance a
general disarmament. If prance accepts the pro
position, peace will probably be maintained, but
if she rejects it, war is almost inevitable.
The Paris correspondent of the Times hints
that refusal of Piedmont to disarm is made at the
instigation of France. As this disarming is the
preliminary condition demanded by Austria before
entcringthe Congress, there isa probability that the
Kwere most interested will not take part in the
proceedings, and a congress without the principals
would be a nugatory affair.
LATER.
The Steamship City of Washington has arrived.
She brings news from Liverpool to the 13th ult.
War rumors were more alarming. But on the
11th rumors gained currency that Austria had
proposed and the other Powers had assented to
disarming before the meeting of Congress at Vien
na; in consequence, the French journals slightly
modified their tone.
The Austrian troops in Lombardy continued to
advance and threaten the Piedmont frontiers.
Later advices furnish the following items :
The war news continued threatening. The Peace
Congress was progressing slowly.
The latest from the Continent represented the
complexion of affairs as threatening.
Paris letters regard peace as hopeless. The
movements of the French troops were very threat
ening. Austria's propositions to the Peace Congress
arc unacceptable to France.
Austria positively refuses to participate in the
Peace Congress without a simultaneous disarming.

A Secretive Sovereign. It has recently
come out that Louis Napoleon has given positive
orders for the past two years that no publication
be made concerning the condition of the French
navy, or touching any work erected in the uavy
yards; even the Corps Legislatif, which votes mon
ey for the navy appropriations, do not know what
they are voting money for, nor how it is to be ex
pended ! Another State secret has been disclosed
during the recent public agitation: The Cabinet
meetings are mere formalities; Louis Napoleon nets
at them just as he did at the Cabinet meetings
when he was President of the Republic, that is,
he sits at the Council table without saying a word;
while the Ministers arc discussing the affairs of
State, he quietly draws caricatures with a lead
pencil. When he makes up his mind, he sum
mons the Minister who is to execute the order, and
gives him his instructions. His Ministers are men
of straw, or rather mere clerks, who carry out his
orders. It is stated on good authority that Louis
Napoleon's Ministers are nearly as ignorant of
what is going on as a person out of public life.
They knew nothing of Prince Napoleon's mar
riage to the Princess Clotilda until it was publish
ed, although the marriage was negotiated almost
a year ago. by Louis Napoleon in person, with
Count Cavour.

we have reports of the dying off of cattle, sheep,

We are informed that the property of the

Democratic rule, in these latter davs, but when
called on for specifications, they are very slow to
answer. There is one subject, however, in con
nection with the expenditures upon which they
delight to dwell, and that is the extension of the
National Capitol, and the f urn ishing of the same.
The cost of the building of the new capitol, and
of the furniture which has been placed in it, is
absolutely shocking to the republican sensibilities
of the editors and orators of the Opposition. It
so happens that in this instance, as in numerous
others in connection with the national expenditures
the assailants are wounded "by the rebound of
their own balls." That this is the case, the fair
and impartial reader must necessarily admit, when
he is put in possession of the following facts:
Millard Fillmore, "the model President" of the
Opposition, inaugurated the "Capitol Extension,"
and thus created the necessity fur all the subsequent
expenditures, including looking-glasses and other
furniture. In this same connection we may
remark that Mr Fillmore inaugurated, also, the
aqueduct for supplying the city of Washington
with water, the cost of which is enormous. Nor
is this all. Mr A. H. H. Stuart. Secretary of the
Interior, under the "model President,"' recommend
ed the building of houses for the residences of all
the members of the Cabinet. The adoption of
this recommendation would have involved an
expenditure of at least a million of dollars. And
yet the friends ot Mr Fillmore and his Secretary
of the Interior, can now speak and write, without
blushing, of extravagant Democratic expenditures
upon the public buildings. Virginia Index.
Not Safe to Beau other Men's Wives
Another Sickles' Case, Almost. The old proverb
is that "it never rains but it pours." The killing
of Key seems to have crazed the silly pates of
several very romantic married women in New
Orleans. A few days after the Sickles tragedy a
married lady informed her husband that she had
been grossly insulted, the previous evening by
Mr B. , an acquaintance of the family. The
incensed and outraged husband, with revolver in
m
favor of the opinion entertained by Mr Barclay,
and that verdict was never disturbed. Now, un
der what my noble and learned friend contends
for, gross injustice would have been done in this
case; the eleven would have carried the first ver
dict, and would have been a verdict contrary to
law, and inconsistent with the facts. During the
last ten years, with the exception of the case that
is the foundation of this bill, there has been no in
stance in the Courts of Queen's Bench, Common
Pleas, or Exchequer, of any jury having remain
ed out all night in consequence of disagreement.
And not only so, but no case during those ten years
has occurred on any of the circuits."
And so the venerable man went on in a way
worthy of a Lord Camden when he was fighting
the general verdict battle. Others said good
things; others vindicated trial by jury because it
was five hundred years old; others called upon the
House "to stand by the ancient way ;" but Lord
Lyndhurst, with a sort of American instinct, vin
dicated the present mode on the ground of reason;
just as one of the sovereigns of the country would
vindicate the great liberty safeguard. What did
it matter that the shallow and arrogant "Lord
Kingsdown" declared how absurd it was "that
twelve men, taken at haphazard from the com
munity." who after could not comprehend a ques
tion, still should decide questions ! The bill was
rejected, only seven voting for it.
All honor to Lord Lyndhurst !
MEETING OP PRESBYTERY.
The First Presbytery of the Associate Reformed
Church, met on Monday, 18th ultimo, agreeable
to adj nirnment, at Amity in Iredell County, N. C.
In the absence of Rev. E. E. Boyce, the former
Moderator, a sermon was preached by Rev. L.
McDonald, from Eph., 6th chapter and 10th verse:
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and
in the power of his might." After this, Presbytery
was called to order and constituted by prayer:

to return home, and Mr B. kindly tendered his
services to see her safe to her door. The streets

A New Method of Advertising. '' iris is a
great city, and there are, of course, many novel
methods of advertising. The fashion, however,
of dressing a lady in splendid goods, and having
her stand for so many hours a day in a heavy dry
goods establishment, as a sign-post, is certainly a
little ahead of Bonner, of the New York Ledger.
A French philanthropist is writing very affecting
appeals to public sympathy in favor of the large
class of young women in Paris who are hired,
for their beauty only, to show off goods upon, in
the stores. It was formerly the custom to use a
wax figure, or a dummy of some sort, whereon the
shawl or dress might be placed to be seen to ad
vantage. But the beauty of a live figure was
found to be so certain an addition to the apparent
value of the dress each lady customer, of course,
fancying it would look quite as handsome upon
herself that the venders have universally adopted
the expedient. A poor and virtuous girl, who
has beauty, is sure of this easy employment; but
the ttiSte for dress which it engenders, and the
waylaying of these beauties on their way home at
night, by the profligates of the capital, are two
combining evils which the writer thinks should be,
in some way obviated by the charitable.
The New Sect. A curious new sect of
Christians called Transmigrationists, have of late
become very numerous in France. Quite differ
ent from the Mormons, their character is highly
moral, and their creed Christian, only they include
all animals in their idea of universal mortality.
They profess to believe that being changed after
death into some animal will be their purgatory.
In Germany their increase is immense.
Gentlemen. Who are gentlemen, and what
is a gentleman ? Riding up town the other even

two, were of the masculine gender. These were
ladies, apparently mother and daughter. It rained
terribly; indeed, the water came down in solid col
umn. At a corner in Bleecker street one of the
ladies pulled the strap as a signal to be let out.
Neither of thein had an umbrella, but several of
the well-dressed bipeds of the breeches order were
provided with them; all sat still, except one rough
unwashed, but generous son of Hibernia, who,
springing out in advance of the ladies, hallooed to
the driver to wait a moment handed the ladies

them to be kind enough to return it at their con

Sharp Practice. A New York broker, un
dertaking to turn a dishonest penny, last week,
was "hoist by his own petard." A man offered him
85,000 in gold dust, which he said had been
stolen, for half its value. The broker seized the
opportunity, weighed the dust, found it all right,
and paid over the money. Almost immediately a
professed policeman came in, said he had ascer
tained that he was in possession of a certain parcel
of gold dust, and must arrest him and seize the
dust. The broker was much alarmed, and finally
offered the officer eight hundred dollars in biils to
release him and keep mum. The offer was accept
ed and the money paid The broker then conclud
ed it was best to get rid of the gold as soon as
possible, but on attempting to sell it found it was
only copper filings. The policeman was also bogus,
and the broker finds himself minus 3,C00, which
should be a caution to him not to deal hereaf:er
with stolen goods.

disinherited her, and left the whole proserty to his

claims over to him, and then paid the whole 40,

Curious Facts about the Sexes. It is a
singular fact, says a writer in one of our exchanges,
that even after death, nature respects the inherent
modesty of woman, for when drowned she floats on
her face, and a drowned man on his back. The
noblest part of a human being is the head; but the
man's head is liable to baldness; woman is never
bald. The man's face is often made repulsive on
account of a harsh growing beard, so covered with
solid hairs, as something scarcely to be distinguish
ed from the face of a beast; in a woman, on the
other hand, the face always remains pure and de
cent. For this reason women were, by the laws of
the Twelve Tables, to rub their cheeks lest hair
should grow and obscure their blushing modesty.
But the most evident proof of the innate purity of
the female sex is, that a woman having once wash
ed, is clean; and if she wash in a second water will
not soil it; but that a man is never clean though
he should wash in ten successive waters, he will

High Stage of Water on the Mississippi.
New Orleans, April 23. An immense amount
of damage has been done by the freshets along the
Mississippi. The loss will be over a million of
dollars. It was feared at one time that the Sauve
levee above the city would be carried away, which
would have overflowed nearly the whole lower sec
tion of the country. A large number of workmen
were timely sent to the spot and reveille 1 any
serious damage. From Red River we have disas
trous accounts of the floods.

A few Remarks on Dress.
From the commencement of the world's history, when
fig-leaves were sewed together in the garden of Kden,
down to the present time, it has been a prominent
characteristic of the human family to Dress. Kven tbe
nations of greatest antiquity made it one of the chief
objects of their solicitute and care, to see thai their
persons were adorned in the most attractive in tin hit.
.And looking back through many long ages before the
commencement of the christian era, when the Jews
"enlarged the borders of their garments'' and st a i let
and fine linen were considered evidences of nobility,
wc find the patriarch Jacob carrying out this leading
idea in making for his son Josepn a ,lCoat of many
colors. " Thus showing that in all ages, care has heen
taken to adorn the person and to present a pleasing ap
pearance to the eye. And in our own day, the same
great leading idea obtains; but there is, of course,
more refined and highly cultivated taste exhibited than
at any former period. This is clearly shown in the
present style of -'Dress Goods'' which have been manu
factured with so much skill, and with such a remark
able adaptedness to the wants of society. These Dress
Goods are now on exhibition and for sale at T. H. UK KM
& CO'S great Emporium of Fashion.
But especially is the eye pleased and the heart capti
vated by the appearance of a well-dressed female.
The Ephesians, in order to impress the mind with the
grandeur and sublimity of their idolatrous religion,
embodied their Divinity in the form of the beautiful
and gorgeous looking goddess, Diana. And the an.
cients, in almost every instance, when they wished to
present an irresistable charm to the minds of tbe masses
of the people in favor of some new doctrine or idea, in
variably employed the figure of a beautifully-attired
female. There was sound philosophy in this. For
they knew and we know the power and infi uence
which a well dressed lady exerts over the hearts of
men. We say that the power is irresistible. It ij
so now it has been so in the past. We find it MMM
the nations of antiquity accomplishing that whic h no
other power could accomplish. It was a beautiful
Medan lady that caused the King of the Babylonians to
construct the celebrated Hanging Gardens, which af
forded so much sport to the soldiers of Cyrus when he
diverted the waters of the Euphrates and captured t lie
proud city of the Chaldees. It was the beautiful and
lovely Athenian courtezan that, by a mere suggestion,
caused Alexander to apply the torch to Persepolis, the
beautiful capital of the Persians. But it is not neces
sary to go so far back for proof of this power we se
it manifested around us every day. And in this, M
well as past ages, the most skillful artists are employed
in this department of human ingenuity. And in no in
stance do we find the art displayed with more taste
than in the present style of Bonnets. The general
contour of the physiognomy and the phrenological de
velopments of the wearer, are shown to a decided nil
vantage. These Bonnets niav be examined and obtain
ed at BR EM & CO'S.
But, as regards dress, there are a variety of taste? to
gratify. The Greeks admired a tine figure, and paid
but little attention to dressing the head. So in our
day, there are those who seldom admire the fine fore
head and well-balanced "dome of thought," but look
rather at the well developed sy metrical form, and es
pecially the bust. And it is astonishing how well the
milliners have studied the various w ants of the human
family in the matter of dress. They have conceited
tbe idea, and manufactured the very thing which ladies'
require, in the shape of Embroideries and Mantillas.
These may also be found at BKEM k CO'S.
There are others, however, who make a pleasing
survey of the w hole figure, when it is properly dressed,
and this presents to their minds the paragon of excel
lence. And. to suit this taste, the manufacturers have
happily conceived the thought of the celebrated Silk
and Organdee Robes, falling gracefully over the much
admired Expansion Skirt. Let people talk as they
may. there is one thing very certain, the mind is uni
versally prepossessed in favor of the present style of
Hoop Skirts. Wc are aware that in their former reign
Addison wrote some hard things against them ; hut
then, they were considered only as a variation of the
disgusting "trail" which obtained among the courte
zans of Elizabeth: and tba general mind being preju
diced against what was justly considered extremes in
dress, manifested its opposition to the Expansion Skirt
the moment it made its debut. But in our times, thiiifri
are viewed in a different light: and we have yet to eee
the man who, expressing his real sentiments, will sny
that the old salt-sack style of dress is more becoming
than the beautiful, grand, self-adjusting, double back
action, etruscan - lace-expansion, spiral-l'iccolomini-attachment,
gossamer-indestructible Skirts ! These
