All this, we repeat, is strange pacrdog strange is it not ? Look at it. No wonder that a gentleman occupying ground like this is anxica3 that all who vote for him 6hoald avail themselves of the right of Laving their ticketa " rolled up." It is a record of which few will be proad xa fu ture years. Wwld it not strike even ttajeut reflecting that this I great concern for a reccl ballot a ticket " rolled op " haa some conne ction with, or exhibits some sympathy for a secret and concealed order, misnamed " Heroes of America," which ordr exhib ta strange heroism by keeping itself secret and hidden, and whose members conceal their connecticn with. Masons and OJd Fel lows do not so act. "We never paw a Mason or Odd Fellow that' was asba.ned of his order, or demed his membership in ,it. Spite of all the secret agencies which Mr. Holdkk evokes, we think he will rather find himsslf disappointed. We know he deserves to be. The lines of the opposing armies near Atlanta, are drawn aloDg Peach Tree Creek, about four miles from town, extendirg from the river towards Stone Moun tain, tit least they wete so before the battle of Friday last, and we presume that their general position has not been materialy altered . It is stated that General Hood receatly remarked that Shermah's forces did not outnumber the Cocfeder rte Army cf Tennessee more than fifteen thousand. Grant outnumbered Lke worse than that on the oc casion of every battle they have fought. Wilmikgton, July 25th, 18G4.

Any contributions, whether in provisions or money directed to Mrs. A. J. DeRossett, President of the Ladies doldieis' Aid Societv, will be duly acknow- edged. GsjiEBAL Hood was bjrn in Bath County, Ken tucky, in June, 1831, and ia now a little over 33 years of age. He graduated at West Point in 1853. When, the war broke out he was an officer, a Lieutenant, we think, ol the second U. Si Cavalry, of which Albert Sidxet Joha'STOn had been Colonel and General Lee ieutenant Colonel. He entered upon frontier service in Western Texas aod greatly distinguished himself in his fights with the Indians. When the war broke out be resigned hi3 commission and cast his destinies with the South. He has risen in pur service from the position of a Lieutenant to that ol ull General, having ascended the ladder of promotion from the lowest to the highest round, with marvellous rapidity. Wk have received the Southern Literary Messenger for June rather behind its time but that can easily be excused when we refLct. upon the state of things in and around Richmond for the last couple of months. We find it decidedly readable, but are reluctantly com pelled to lay it down to respond to the call for " copy."

Wk publish to-day from the pen of a young Wil miugtonian, the most seasible and intellible account of the campaign made by General Early that we have yet seen. It will well repay perusal. We fchall be much gratified to hear from our friead again. Yellow 1 ickets. The Raleigh I'rogress, and we think, the Standard also, has had a good deal to say about yellow tickets for Governor Vance. In the hvt Progress that haa reached this effice we got none yes terday, we ton cd enclosed a slip of tickets, with Mr. Holder's name for Govei nor, printed on yellow paper. J$ay-Tkere seems to be no foundation for a report, which has somehow got curreucy, that General Bragg has been captured by the enemy. Tiie report was start ed ten days or more eLce, that he had been captured by a raiding party of the enemy near Opelika, Alaba ma. "Lend He Your Kr." Ehakspfark. Adah was a young man he was a single rcai, for Eve had not yet been created. The world was young too, but Adam was younger he was the last crowning work cf creatioa. His rib had cot yet been taken from ki3 side, and he therefore felt not that aching void, that nameless want, that so sooa starts all his masouline de scendants on an eager hunt after their lost rib, and renders them discontented until they find it. And Adam was in EJen, atid the birds and the beasts came before him and he named them; aud the lorlly lion and the graceful stag aud the noble horse passed in review; aLd there came also an animal with long ears, a gay and festive young frllow, and he marched up, slightly cavortieg, and when he came opposite to Adam he halted and ported Lie ears and waited to be named, as the other beasts had been named ; and Abam gave him his name aiao, eayicg unto him, " You're a jack ess.!" and tbe animal with the long cars thought it was a great thing to be a j ckass, and he said unto himself, "I'm a jackass," and he furthermore laughed and said "haw-a- a-haw ! haw ! haw I ugh-aw I" And his laugh was joyous, and he was proud. But since that time sin aod sorrow have come into the world, atnd man, havicg lost and found his rib, has been expelled from Eden, and is a conscript, and work3 hard for his rations, and all na ture, animate and inanimate, seems to sympathize with and suffer for that one great fall, and the song of the nightingale has caught a melancholy tone, and the notes of the jackass have a mournful cadence, the very ghost of that musical laughter with which the original don key the primeval asinus made the groves of Eden to resound, and the four rivers of paradise to leap and sparkle in their pebbly beds. Alas for the fleeting hopes of earth I all that's bright must fade, the brightest still the fleetest. It is no laughing matter to be a donkey cow, or a man either, for that matter ; and with the lengthening of yjears comes soirow and lamentation.

That North Carolina was represented In th late invasion of the enemy's country yon already know, but we have to apeak more particularly of the representation from Wil mington, wnose welfare yon nave eviocca a cesue to see promoted, and whose interest we believe is your Interest. The bloody battle of the Wilderness had decinmted oar ransa oat tune, ana we caa nopea mat mo mi.es w re turn ed in oar favor, and that the end of the campaign wonld soon be at hand with but few of onr comrades rendered nors ou combat. The service that enr uegiment did on the 6th and 10:h days of May particularly, have passed Into his tory to their credit, as well aa to that of the good old Cape Fear. We want to pass by the history of thia part of the campaign, for the capture of 225 of oar Regiment on the 12th, carries with it many sad recollections the desperate straggle, when the order "Let's fight it otti" was given bj one, now the yUtm of retaliation, the overwhelming force of the enemy, and the consequent capture, all the work of a moment, adds new glorias and sew;, sorrows to oar Weleft Bieiaoaa catta m JBMi toThi Mfe fox several days near the trenches, and started towards Louisa C.

We exchang ed gladly tbe free air of the country for tbe foul air of the trenches, and in apite of the casualties to our Regiments, we left Richmond with lighter hearts thaa since the battl of the 12th. We passed on the snd day of our march the battle ground upon which had fought our cavatry against a raid ing party, sent cut from the right wing of tie Yankee army to destroy the Va. Central R. R. and make a junction with Hunter 'a cavalry at Chailottsvilie. They were whipped badly altera severe fight, and driven back to their base. We had abundant evidences of "the seveiifcy cf thia fight, which drew from the infantry praise, not reluctantly be stowed. , , Leaving Louisa C. H. we took the direct road for Char lottesville, and arrived there on the morning ot the 16th, a day long to be remembered by ns as a bright spot in our soldier life. The morning's march had been a very hot one we were dasbirg oil at the rate of 25 miles a day the day we arrived at Charlottesville. We rested ten minutes in the street, to leceive the meat lavish testimonials of the appreciatioa of our services to their country by these good pe'opie. Refreshments were distributed, to bacco given away at the rate cf two or three boxes to a small regiment, aod a variety of articles cf especial value to soldiers were distributed profusely ; kind words, appro ving smitea, acd tbe (Jod speed were, given to lighten the burden and heat of the day, and make na feel that although soldiers were no rarity in their town, set they had not for gotten that although rough and dirty, we wero their de letde'B and fellow -citizenB. In behalf cf the 1st and 3d Ncrth Carolina, we return thanks for the pleasure the good people cf Charlottesville caused ua, and only hope we have been able in this campaign to. render them some material return for tfecir benefactions. We had the pleasure of vis itiDgihe University, that noble work which does .honor to JtEereon, who conceived, and the State cf Virginia which executed the plan t-f the best school of the country. The halls of the University are vacated, but everything is kept in goad iei air. Several Prof essors still live inthb College, and are doitg duty in the Hospital. We rejoiced to feel ihat such a noble ii'Stitutiou had been saved trom tbe fiend ish hatid of the. vandals. Onr command took tho train to Lyncbburg on the 17th, and arrivirg the same tvening formed line of battle near town. The day was too tar spent to attack th8 enemy, aud the next dny before light we were making preparations for battle ; but the keen Hunter took the precaution to evacuate hia position, ard was in full retreat before we discovered tlroogh Use smoke of the morning that ho bad left. And now commenced a chaae which caused us the moat rapid marching of tho war. The first day from Ljnch burg, Gordon in front, Rhodes next, and zo on, we halted near Liberty, 27 nuies from our starting point, only to get a little fight out i f their rear gnaid, in which Gen. Robert Bjmsom cnly vraa enzaced From our bivoaac near Liberty, we could see plainly the Peaks of Otter, tl-e liighet cf the Blue Kidge ia Virginia. The mountain scenery of this part of the ridge is by far the moat pictureeqae ot tbe State. Tho whoie ccuntry along the entire line of cu march, after leaving Liberty, is extremely fertile ai.d groans ucder the burden 01 the largest crops every made ia the ccuntry. But the despoiling hand of tbe vandal had curBed the sountry with desolation ! The track cf Lcnttj'e retieatwss a scene of shameful pillaging, and this under hia sanction a Major General in the Union army ! Tho tale cf theeo depredations should not fall heed lessly upon thij cars of tbe country, the attestation of a whole corps of biavensen confirms it. Cattle, chickens, hoas, eheep atd every other thisg upon which they could vent their malice were killed, and when not eaten, left to rot upon the ground. Carriages were destroyed, wagons werft burned, women insulted, andaca of vandalism (Yan keeism should be the term) which we blush to record. A n ore hellish set cf fiends were nevei before turned loose in the lovf-lisst valley of Virginia Day after day we connnuea the march In hot pursuit, each evening bringing with it a nsw hope that the next day we would be able to ovtrtake the eretny and administer to him a puaiubmeut ndeqnate to hia crimo. On the evening of the 21et, a!ter a hard daj'b rraich, we were mortified to see the ecattered and demoralized remnant cf Hunter's force ciamberiag up ever the mountain, going through fcan,?ing Rocfe Gap in the Aiieghauy. General Ransom's cavalry succeeded here in taking several wagons and pieces of artillery, burning many pieces and capturing a few prisoners. We made a day's rest at Salem, 'and ou the 2 id. iv6 took up the line of mrch towards Lexirgton. Of courte no one will imagine ihat Gen. Lee sent Gen. Eiirly out cn a sight-seeing expedition, when our " Rebel Capital is besieged;" but no one will doubt, particularly any member cf the " TanBGBAru Corps, ' that we did see sights. On tht 23d, Breckinridge and Gordon marched by the Natural Bridge, and Bhodos and Ram-eur wit iia three miles of it. Fermiasion was tvea by the General for all mounted officers to visit this great work ot nature. No one needs a description of the Natural Bridge; but how. erer luhd one m imagined the scenery, he will had the realPy to excetd i. li was well worth the weary pilgrim age of ten daj'a march to see the greatest natural wonder in the Btate. We saw the imaginary eagle iu the submit of tbe aicbway ; the iaisogioaiy Ecglish coat cf arraa all formed by lich n whicfi cungs to tbe rock. We had point ed cu! to us he letters G. Wt hington carved iii thes tone, which were once qaite plain, but time his nearly effsced the last vestige of them. A townsman ot ouis is said to have been critically suspanded in an attempt to put hia name on tho ledge above that of the great Washington. We reached Lexington on the 25h day of Juaa at noon. Every preparation had been made to pay a tribute of re spect to the grave of our lamented hero Stonewall Jack sonby Lis old corps. The whole coips filed by the grave iu double ranks, amis reversed and officers dismounted. Every oae uncovered hij head at the gravo, while sadcess waa depicted upon Iho countenances uf all, the bands piay ing some sweet, Hoiema dirged. Tne giave was profusely ornantented with sweet fljwcra, while a Urge Bation&l flag, a preeeat lrora England, fluted mournfully over it. Tne scene waa auop:e but immessive, and caused all freBh re gr :ts that the greatest genius ct the war was resting in ti e grava before a s couatry's liberty was aclmvsd. May Gc-u give urupore of the genius cf fctouewall J ickson 1 The ladies cf Lexington not only cheered us by their pre sence ou th.9 side wali and ot the windows, but by diatri-bn-iUK to the poor thirsty soldiers Eomething to eat and diinar. Iu the very luwu of Lexington, the biuckened ruins of Gov. Letcher's house stood a memorial of the fiendish enemy, and then tos, juut above the Governor's house, tho Lexington Military Jntitute lajsm ruins. A large il jur miil ou the canl wai also a victim ol the torch of the ene- but Confederate citizens ! Our army crossed the James at niv. t'hnp.na fr.rRnath ' it led tne reoeis not the ftrmv. Lexington, fully deteimioed that they would make the en emy suffer in retaliation, when it should be our fortune to iuvsde. Upon tuo pedestal of a monument in L. tho fol lowing was inscribed in lead pencil: " We swear tee will destroy one Colleget and one Gubernatorial Mansion in the enemy's country, in retaliation for the outrages perpetra ted in Lexington. 1st ifd. Cavalry." NothiDg or interest transpired in our lang march from Lexi gton to Btauuton, and Iroui Staunton to Winchester, except that we wte cheered by the unequalled hospitality of the good people of the valley, and luxuriated in the good tuioga wnich we kECW bat few of our people at home cau eijoy. We have nevor seeu before such continuous hot weather; end superadded to the excessive heat was the dust. For thirty days have we been upon the tramp from Virginia to Maryland and back, aud only once have we had a eliowsr. Ttie fatigu?a ia cdnseq ieuca of this protracted dror.ght were very uiuual, and yet this corps accomplish ed in eighteen tuccesaive days aa nvorage of twenty three miles a day. Arid tvea up to ths time we formed lina of battle under tbe walls of th-j Yankee Capital, including our stoppages from every caste, atd comprising a space of time of nearly one month, we averaged twcnty-and-a-half milea a day. ' On the 4th day of July we astonished Max Weber by at tacking him iu bii impregcable loatBesa upon Arlington atd Mary laud heigbts, arouod Harper'a Ferry, Ircm the Virginia U1o. Here we accomplished an important pur pose, although we did not succeed ia capturing the place, However, no cue wiil tver imagine that wo could have ever captu.ed euch a place, after Beeiag tho position. Jackson taught the Ymioea that Maryland Heights wsb tha key to Harper's Ferry, and since i'8 first capture they havejmade the position quite formidable. To accomplish the uluuiw debign of our campaign it was not necessary that we thculd capture lhU place, but draw upon Wash irgtos for troops, and thvreby kseo all the YantieeB out of our way, oy bu engineering Harper s Ferry ia our rear, and weE.ksoiag Washington City in our front. No regular iice of battlo was engaged in the attack, but our sharpshooters drove the enemy irorn Bolivar and part of the towu of Harper's Ferry, captnriag thereby quite a quantity of Ccmmiasary stores, even a plenty of luxuries. How strange to see "Confeds." with cigais, sugar and cof fee, lemons and whiskey, and everything which ths most fastidious soldier could desire. But while we record the deed of daring which adds page after page of glory to our country's h.ttory, we must relate with a degree of shame which we can't conceal, the outrageous conduct of some of oar men. We did not blame our sharpshooters for par taking of the nice 4th of July dinner which the Yankee of ficers had prepared in Bolivar in honor of their national jubilee, for we know tho we-knees that Confederates have for nice dinners wheu ornamented and illuminated with good wines and fiuits, but some stragglers even under the nre of the enemy's guns, plundered private property to p shameful extext. There was legitimate plunder enough in the town for all, but stragglers are fastidious brutes, and they cou!d not satiate their gresd until they had destroyed a large quantity of illegitimate plunder. You may rest as sured that the General took prompt measures to prevent a repetition of the outrage, and that not our army, but onr stragglers are chargeable with thia violation of tae rules of war. We crossed the Potomac river at Bhepardatown on the 5th day of July, leaving Max Weber to shell the empty woods from hia secure eminence, unable to communicate with Washington City. To say that the whole of the Yan kee nation was surprised so see an army entering thejr ter ritory, which they supposed was fully employed by Grant, would but feebly express the indignation and consternation depicted upon the face of the citizens of Yankee-land as oar column marched into their country. We passed by the ever-memorable and sanguinary battle field of SharpBburg. We saw the old Church riddled with rifle shots, the memorable Antietam Creek, and all of those spots which brought back to those of ua who were in lhe first Maryland campaign, the unwelcome recollections of a hard-fought battle, which did more to cripple us than any blow the enemy has ever dealt ub. We saw tbe fence of which Lt. C. said that the rails of it were kept constantly in the air by the artillery of each side. The hole in the side of the hill which sheltered , who was not eager for military glory at so hazardous a price ; the opening upon the mountain occupied by McCJellsn's Signal Corps and more memorable to ths 3d regiment than all other spots on that field, the Tlar. where it fought, not only fought, but maintained its position ia the most sanguinary battle of the war aeaicst fearfnl odds, when other regiments had fled from the same Hold, irjfketing upon the enrmy a severe cas tigation, and moving very decided influence upon the issue of the day a battle. It was there our gallant Colonel was disabled for the war, and the lamented Williams, Mearea. Cowan, trainee. Rhodes. McNair. Speight, and a host of other gallant men fell, Rome of whoa bad never b .'ore beeaiader fire. From Bhartabnrr we moved nnon Frederiok Citv ttv wav of Crampton'a Gap, passing through Merry Vallsy, one of the most lovely spots io Maryland. Every spot of ground throughout the whole valley nnder cultivation, groaBiug with the burden of ab radant crocs, enjoying undisturbed repose ; no mark of vandalism to b seen. It was in the battle of this Gap. that Col. Lamar of Cobb's legion fell. At the village of Batketsville rests not only the remairs of Col. Lamar bat of a number of our gallant braves. Oar division wsb rear guard of the corps in Maryland, and brigades and detachments of brigades were sent In different directions to watch the varioui gaps which open into this fertile little valley. On the 9th of July we formed line of battle near Frederick City, at Konocacy Junction. A battle ensued there between onr forces and the 6th army corps (U. .) under General Wallace. At sundown Wal lace was m full retreat, and we captors of about three hun dred prisoners, the enemy leaving about two hundred wounded and a large number of .dead upon tbe field. Our loss was three hundred in oar eatire corps ; Rmseur and Gordon only being partially engaged. We saw, tor the first time In this campaign, the real sen timent of the people of Maryland. The sad truth is they are sorely oppressed, and with the system of espoinage employed by the United btates to keep them in subjection, we have but little to hope, except by a successful occupa tion of the State. They are with us ! We behove to-day that the real original elements of the State are with u, and that their heart's desire is to unite their destiny with ouis. Their kiadness to us, their prayers for our success, tell us what they feel. Remember, yoa who stand afar off and caii Maryland a Yankee State, that yoa do her injus tice. An anthem would have been sung in every church in Maryland had we been successful in capturing the Yankee Capital. Had you soon the kind attentions of the lovely Maryland ladies, their well-wisheB and hopes that we would relieve their State from thraldom, you would have been impressed as this corps was, with the greatest respect and warmest sympathy for this poor, noble State. But alas ! she is lost to cs, and lost to herse'f." Without, we can res cue her by an army, she is desticed to be a mere depen dency of the United btatea. Recruits come in from all parts cf the State ; whole cavalry brigades were mounted, and tbe oppressoisof tho good people ot the' Etate we mean the Lincomites were punished, by being forced to djnate their horses and pro visions for the good cf our eervice. On the 12th day of July we were in line of batt'e tinder the forts of Washing ton City, some distance nearer the Yankee Capital than Grant has been to ours since his so cabled siege of Rich mond. The subu-baa Washingtonians, (the Secessionists) were quite confident we would meet but little resistance iu the attack ; but not one of the mot snguino of us thought we ccuJd take this walled city. It was not the deBign to make an attempt upon Washington, to decimate our ranks by au attack upon a place which a handfall of men conld hold against great odds, end with a shattered army hve th great Potomac nt our backs. Tho sequel will show why we threatened Washicgtcn. What a record to ehow the world ! Our own .Capital ' besetged,' " the backbone of the rebellion crushed," and a corps to Bpare to go into the enemy's country to fcaock at the gates of hia o wn Capital ! Where was Mr. Lie coin all this time ? the men wootd ask. ome would reply that, he was brushing up bid Scotch cap for another Hegira." Bat somebrdy wa at bome,tor at cur first approach Mr. Lincoln's Sntlt-r (perhaps the Beast.) commenced issuing "lamp posts." can of preiieives (perhaps grapes,) to us, in honor of our arrival. We formed line ot battle on the N. W. part of the cii-y, and advanced sharpshooters. The enemy opened from his heavy guns from the forts, causing but faw casualties to us. In fact we have never seen aitil lery used with such poor effect. With their position the enemy has no excuse for not icflictin? aevere injury upon us. We employed them busily all the 12th and l3ih with cur sharpshooters. ' lh3 troops which we first engaged were evidently citi 7 ATI a. AH tl ev wcro not in uniform: but soldiers c&hw in aiteiwards, reinforcements fioai Wallace and elsewhere. While we were engaging the attention of the enemy at Washington, Col. Bradley Johnston, commanding Imbo den'a brigade, was paying isis attentions to Baltimore. He cut tbe bridges over Powder Mi'l and Bush Creeks, aod de- strovfi d eomo railroad between Baltimore and rcitaaeiphia, and between Baltimore and Washington. By order of Gen. Johnston, Gcv. Bradford's hsuse was burned ia retaliation for the burnirig of GovLetcher'a house in Lexington, and that too, within th-ee or four miles of Baltimore. He also captured about EOOyoutg mu'ea which a dewier was carry ing into Wft.ihiiigUjn lor tne army. So you cau readily im agine that Gen. Early's visit to the Yankee country pro. duced no little terror. To snm up the whalo campa'gn. Early whipped tro ar mies out cf his way, ceo at Lynchburg and one at Freder ick City, pased on to their capital, made important cap tures of cattle, horses and muU s ; subsisted our army upon the enemy eight days, levied upon Frederick for $200,000 in green-backs, aud alter drawing away reinforcements from the front of Gen. Lee, and hatrassed the derizens cf the Yankee Sodrm iecrcssed the Potomac leisurely with about four hundred prisoners, with a lots to ourselves of less than COO men. Beyond a doubt, thia has been the moat important inva sion of the enemy s cormry, tna mo3t advantageous to. ns and tbe most disatrou3 to the North. Numerically we are perhaps stronger tbaa when we entered ; many having rallied to the Southern crops. This invasion proves Gen. Early's capacity for coramatding an army, and gives him rank am org our best corjM commanders. It the old gen tleman d'd march us very haid, and if wa did say very em phatic things about bim when the hot sua was overcoming ua, we ask the old gentleman's pardon, for he ia the only man who has ever given ua a peep at tha dome of the Yankee Capital. We don't wish to make the last paragraph tell of the dis orderly acts cf our aimy, bat wo must certainly have men in our army whom it would seem are apt scholars ot tbe Yankee depredators. We mwition these acta to let ths world know that the sacking of houses near our line of battle, the burning of Montgomery Blair's house, were ua authorized acta of exasperated villains, and for which the Government ia not respocsible. Prcmpt means have been taken to detect the depredators. We wid leave the people cf Mao land tobaj h-w far wsj rspect their property aad tights. Too much praise cinnot be awaidedour brave mea. for their unflinching endurance in thin campaign, la spite of the fittigues, our corps is in better condition than when it left Itichmond. We tball long remember Early's Anti frcortiuiic campaiga (as u ha besa facetiously called) all over VirgirJa and a prt of Marylasd. We are now resting in ths loveliest part of Virginia, sur rounded by kind friends, who arc continually exerting themselves for our comfort. G id btess these lovely women ol the Valley. CUD.

Vance on this account, ne is loud in his complaints, and avers that Vance had gone over tooth and toe nail to the De structives. This is a base and shameful lie. Does the correspondence of Gov.

Har dee had already, on a former Occasion, declined the com mand ctor reasons which do him infinite credit, viz : a sin cere distrust of his own abilities. Hood has always done his work wen in wnat position Boever he has been placed. That is much to start with. He may not do as well as the military editor at the foot of Capitol Square ; nevertae less, he will do the beat he can, and that is something. The candid reader should guard another point: The enemy crossed the greater part of his force over the Chat tahoochee simultaneously with Johnston, on the 9th inst., and immediately entrenched himself. This fact was sup pressed at. the time by our wise authorities here. Now that the presence of tbe enemy on tne east siae 01 tne river Is becomtsg known, the public are left to jafer that ha cross ed after Hood took command ; whereas tbe truth is he crossed a week before, without an ettcrt being made to preveat him.

Ia their dress and adcrnin:Gt they express Uy.'ir natures, cs the flowers do in their pe tals and color. Borne women are like the modest daisies and vlDlets they never look or feel better thaa when dreaded ii a morning wrapper. Others are nA themselves unless they can come out in gorgeous el yen, like the tulip or the bush rose. Who has not btcri women juat like' white lilies ? W e know several doable marigolds and poppies. There are women fit only fcr velvets, like the dahlia3 ; others are graceful and airy, like azaleas. Now and then yoa see hollyhocks nna sunflowers. When women are free to dress as tLcy like, uncontrolled by others and not limited by their circumstances they do not fail to expres3 their true char acters, and dress becomes a form of expression very genuine and useful.

With the circulating medium ranging, ia one day, up and down, twenty, thirty and more per c;cr, any attempt at quotations, in a weekly paper, must mielead. That is why we discontinued it.

We were remoLBtrated with by a good friend, who agrees with uj ia politics, but thought we wero exttavagant. Wei.', it is less than one month that has passed. We then pronounced gold the best investment any cac could make. It was quoted at one hundred and ninety-nine cents, compared with greenbacks. Now, in k-3 than one month, it is quoted, this day, at 285 1 T'jat is, greenbacks, lesa than a month, ago, were valued at a shade more than fifty centa on the dollar.- To-day they are hawked on the streets at tbirtj-six ceai3 on the gold dollar, and no boyers ot that 1 In another week, perhaps, women may be peddling greenbacks ia baskets on the street, cryicg : "Three for a dollar, gen tlemen, pick, them out I" Merchants are to-day, buying extensively coffee, tea, etc., to ship to Europe, in place of gold. What does this mean ?
