GENTLEMENs FALL FAsHIoNs.-The styles for
the coming season are more tidy in shape and fit
than when last reported, and the taste Of our cti
zens encourages the close fitting surtout as dress
over-ooat, while the drab or mixed Alpi Vicughd
Sack, of full dimensions, is preferred as driving
coat. The Opera Cloak is formed into three
quarter circle, without collar, and the neck mar
rowly bound the edge being braided, which con-
tinues round the neck gorge, ornamented with gimp
cord. The prevailing color of the season for all
styles of morning Dress has green as its component
part.
Neutral tinted cassimeres, formed Of drab, green,
and brown, and woven in ribs both wide and mar
row, from an inch down to the smallest size cord,
are the most sought for. Then there are snake skin
mixtures, Scotch tweed mixtures, and plain mixed
elastic cassimerss, of all shades, from crimson TO
gold and yellow, and formed into the most unique
and indescribabe colors imaginable. This may
also be said of the groundwork of waistcoatings,
which are those colors without figure, or they are
ornamented with large flowers Of different colors
TO blend with the peculiar grounds. Some vest
shapes also worn, but they have not much favor
with our citizens, as the style has worn out.
For Overcoats, in addition to the usual uuantum
of plain and neutral tinted beavers and broads
there is Alpi Vicugna, being mixed drab of shah.
by beaver. Then there are an innumerable variety
of mixed Whitneys, which is also heavy article
In addition to the foregoing there is the Norwegian
Beaver Coating, very light and still very warm
being an entire new style of goods.-Scotps Mirro

The REY CAsE.--The New York Courier and
ENQUIRER is at issue with the Washington Union as
1.-THE proper steps required OF our Government in
the prosecution Of the Rey affair. The Courier is
Of opinion that with the surrender of Rev and the
punishment Sif guilty." of the parties by whom
he was abducted, the case must rest that il is
" absurd !" to require the removal, rebuke or pun
ishment Of the Captain General of Cuba. The
Union is Of opinion, strongly, that when these
offences are brought home to the officers and &C
cessaries Of the Captain General, it will be the
duty Of our Government to call upon that of Spain,
not only to disavow these acts, but to punish the
Captain General and his agents.
We are clearly of opinion, with the Union, that
the case, if proven, demands something moro than
the Courier appears to be content with. The pun
ishment of the mere agent of the superior power,
who commanded the outrage the servant who
obeyed tbs orders of his lawful superiors--woud
be vindication of the local law, but not of the ma
tlona dignity, upon which the greatest outrage had
been inflicted. The Spanish Consul will be under
trial for an assault and battery and false imprson-
ment merely. By our laws, this is not a felony,
and the highest punishment, though severe enough
regards the individual and the technical offence,
would be extremely light and utterly inefficient as
an exerton of the power of the nation in avenging
a. wrong perpetrated by authority of a foreign
power. 1t would be a poor exhibition of the pride
Of national character stop there with SO meagre
| satisfaction.
But according 70 the Union and the Courier both
the facts are all uncertain yet The Courier putt
in a qualifying "f"-" if guilty and bases it
speculations of what ought to be done on proofs
be hereafter had that the parties accused are guilty
The Union is also contingent in its views of tn,
duty of the Government. 1t anticipates what mus
be done when these offences are brought home Il
these officers and accessaries.''
These are very reasonable Woodworking rathel
late, to be sure-but recognizing the fact, which
seems TO have been overlooked in all quarters, thai
the original offence in this city is vet a pending
question before the judicial tribunals and that the
judgment of no tribunal of justice in this country
has yet established the fact of the crine and until
that be done, these vehement discussions of what
should be the punishment are in danger of becom-
ing mere goats wool " question.

% The Chicago Democrat says, and fifty pa
pers have copied its statement, that since the ap-
pointment Of Andrew Stevenson, Of Virginia, TO
England, by Gen. Jackson, there has been no
Speaker of the House of Representatives regleet-

Stevenson for the remainder of the 23d Congress,
but James X. Polk was elected Speaker of the 24th
Congress, and reelected Speaker in the 25th Con-
gress. The Speaker Of the 26th Congress was r.

INTERESTING CORREsPoNDENCE. - Gov. Sea-
brook, of South Carolina ON the 4th of July trans.
mitted to Mrs. Emma C. Dickinson, widow of the
late Lieut. Col Dickinson, service of silver plate
consisting of seven pieces, in compliance with
resolution of the State Legislature directing him to
procure some appropriate memorial for her, as an
evidence Of the deep regret and admiration of the
State for the lamented and distinguished dead.
The present was accompanied by feeling letter,
to which Mrs. Dickinson made a beautiful reply,
from which we extract the following fine para
graphs
You ask me to receive it as a testimonial of the
high estimation in-which Carolina held one of the
gallant defenders of her fame to preserve il as a
memorial Of his patriotic zeal and heroic conduct
on every occasion demanded bv duty and danger
As such, accept it most gratefully, and will pre-
serve it proudly and saCredly.
Carolina, sver warmly loved, is now tFebly
dear to me. Dear Dc my native State-dearer as
my husbands native State-dearest his last rest
ing place. Grateful to me, then, is this token Of
her gratitude this proof that his services are re-
membered.
"IfI cannot forget that for her have suffered,
neither can | forget that the kind sympathy, 90
freely accorded me- has removed some Of the bitter
ness Of my sorrow. Earnestly do hope that this
sympathy, so comforting, may not be Withdrawn
from me.

ceeded through the streets, accompanied By some

they made the welkin ring with their hearty huzzas

this place, number Of copies of an abolition cir
eular directed to the members of the Committee of
Vigilance. The Executive Committee of that body.
on the following day, demanded the letters of the
postmaster. On his refusal to deliver them, thew
entered his office and took them by force. This
case presents new feature of an important matter
which is deeply agitating the public mind. Among
the reforms which our enemies hope to accomplish.
in this State, it will not escape your notice that the
election Of President of the United States occupies
a prominent position. i need scarcely be re-
marked that the war which the fanatics of the
North are so perseveringy waging against the
peace and security of the South, cannot much
longer be carried on only by one party. An often

REFUGEE FROM J"sTIcE CAUGHT The fol-
lowing is from the last Mount Sterling XVI Whip
"On Sunday morning last a man. named William
Myers was brought to the Jail of this place, as a
fugitive from justice. He is charged with having
stolen two horses and some goods in this county
several years ago; and at the present term of our
court three indictments were found against him bv
the grand jury. Myers is said to be a great rascal
and has practised many depredations upon society
by following the plan of the celebrated Murrell.
He is charged, we understand, with having com.
mitted murder in Indiana and for his apprehension
the Governor has offered large reward. Il is also
said that he escaped from the penitentiary of Mis-
souri,, and reward of one hundred dollars is Of
fered for his apprehension. Letters now in posses
sion of the Court go to show that he has committed
crime in Indiana, and although he has assumed diff
ferent names, there is no doubt of his guilt
