One of the New York newspapers,
speaking of the extravaganza that
prevails in the world OF fashion IN
New York, says:
"Already our ladies, who make any
pretention to the title of fashionable,
have commenced war Of rivalry
with European aristocracy, and if
they do not surpass them in the style
of dress, they are certainly their
equals in extravaganza. In one
year, a lady of fashion, living on
Fifth Avenue, will expend seven or
eight THOUSAND dollars ON dress; and
we are assured, upon the most relia
BILE authority, that a walking or
dress, such as is seen oc-
casionally in Broadway, costs from
fifteen hundred to two thousand dol
ars."

Milton College.


have existed in the minds Of some
Of our citizens, fSr a few weeks last
past, fWhat has become of the Agent
Of Milton College? We have not
seen him among US for that length Of
time. T ! am happy I'd inform You,
and through your jourl al your read
els, That though he had been neces-
sarily absent from the field of his
labor$. to attend to some of his own
temporal business, he is now back
again and in our midst, ready to
wait on cur citizens, and receive their
support in furthering and consumma-
ting this grand enterprise, in which
the best interests Of our community
are So deeply involved. Yes, sir; our
interests as community are in every
department vitality and inseparably
connected with this and like enterpri-
yes, pow struggling for an existence
.amo1g US. Let me now ask, what
sort of reception will we give the
Agent for the endowment? What
encouragement will we afford him?
What sort of report will we authorize
him to carry out into the country, in
refer uce to the zeal and interest
which we take in this oar own cause?
For It is literally oar oscn College.
If Anybody in all the world is to be
bene| fitted by successful establish
ment of Milton College at T ayette-
vile the citizens of the town first,
and next tho Sc Of Lincoln county,
more, more ZEN fold 1t is then for
us to say in the right way : ah! and
say, too, in an UNI erstandabl@ voice,
whether we shall realize all tn e bene-
fits of such an Institution ambng us.
No body of men. no other people can
say this for US in any way. If they
could place the College in our midst,
with an able and learned faculty, and
richly endowe Id, without oar hid and
ou' liberal and constant support, it
would pine away and die in out midst
Nay If it were even non i1 exist
ence in our midst, with tho BE vital
prerequisites, without as it would
soon be thro wn with the things that
were. Our citizens cannot share in
the advantages of a. College, nor of
q Female Academy, nor can we have
such Institutions, without our own
I
united and persevering attention and
support. No man can lie I6y any
profession or business, unless he lie
for h. The question is before US
nor -nor can we dodge this question
do we want Milton College opened
with high and certain prospects of
usefulness among us? We must, we
wiUI respond a6frmatirely, or Negative
L. An expression Of good wishes
alone is but a negative answer. An
expression of doubts and fears Of its
praeticability is but loudly saying, no!
Delay may be ruinous. What say
you, fellow-citizens? What say you,
members of the Board of Trustees?
-tp you we look for an example,
What say you, capitalists? What
say you, who have sons to educate9
Shall the Agent be favorably received I
by US, and shall he have our good /
example to report all over the grow
ng and wealthy county Of Lincoln?

The person deprived of reason is a

Things at Erie, Pa.

For their outrages and illegal con-
duct in destroying the Railroad
track, burning bridges, delaying
and insulting travelers,and by threats
Of iolence preventing the transmits
sion of dispatches by telegraph,
the Erie mob have not even the
show of an apology
This mob rule has gained such
power in Erie that the rel spectacle
and considerable portion o the COM
munity do not wish to express their
opinions against its Iawles IS rule at
the expense Of subjecting them
selves TO annoyance, insult, and per-
haps violence; and thus the impress
sion goes abroad that all the peo-
pie OF Erie sanction The action Of a
mob led on and encpura ged by a
demagogue Mayor; an unprluci-
piled lawyer who offered himself to
the Railroad companies fol money
consideration; renegade clergy
man; and all ignorant negro bully,
porterof one the hotels, " ho insults
travellers while he stAlcits their pat
roDage.

paralelled outrage are amusing,

When the mob attacked MIR. Hart,
tickle seller at Erie and a respecta-
ble citizen of the thorough" and
he attempted TO gain shelter in his
office, a six-foot bully stepped be-
tween him and the door To stay his
progress. "Won'l you let my faith
er pass?' asked young Hart, a
slightly built young man Of five feet
four. "No," was the reply. Quick
as thought the fist Of young HIATT
was planted between the buIly's
eyes, and he lay in the mud while
Mr.. Hart passed Into his Office and
escaped.

Andrew Johnson,

hSHSNS HAlAi thO DOO'
pie Of other States is shown by the
frequent mention Of his name in
connection with the next Presiden-
cy. 1t is Of course too early Sc
riously to agitate the question of the
succession at present; and we refer
to these notices, not as ourselves par
ticipating in Such discussion, but to
show that the affec tionate pride with
which Gov. Johnson's personal char
acter and talents are cherished in
Tennessee is shared by their demo-
cratic brethren of other States.
With this view, also, we copy the
following from the Sandusky {Ohio)
Daily Mirr0r, one of whose editors
served in Congress with Gov. John,
son:
+ THE PRESIDENCY IN lS56.-A wri.
ter in the Delaware State Reporter
suggests Hon. Andrew John son,
Democrat, lately elected Gov. OF
Tennessee, as candidate for the
next Presidency.
That idea is sensible and patri ptic.
Gov. Johnson Of Tennessee is inferior
in capacity for the Presidency to no
man living. He has the talents,
abilities, the frmness, integrity and
industry, to fill that most important
station with honor to himself, and en-
! tire satisfaction to those who may
trust him with power. In short, ,he
is the man of and for the people
We have the honor of perso nal
acquaintance with him, and consider
him a good and truly great man.
/ Gov. johnson was born in Raleigh,
NorthiCarolina, where he served an
apprenticeship and learned the tai
lor's trade. His father died while
be was quite young, leaving Andrew
poor and without education. When
free from his apprenticeship, about
twenty-five years ago he moved to
Tennessee, where he worked at his
trade and educated himself. The In
terest he took in measures in behalf
Of the laboring people, soon called
him odt as candidate for the State
Legislature. He was elected, re-
elected. and then called out as can
didate for the House of Congress, to
which he was elected four times III
succession. Last March his term
expired. He declined another cleo
ton He was then nominated by
the Democratic State Convention for
Governor, almost unanimously, and
was elected by a large majority
Although he has ever be en- consis-
tent straightforward De ocrat, the
party lines never could be drawn
against him. No matter how large
whig majority was in his district,
he was always successful So it was
in his canvas IS for Governor. Ten
pessee had, the preceding November,
given her electoral vote to Gen.
Scott-one Of the four States that
did-yet Andrew johnson was elect
ed; this, too, over one of the most
talented Wigs and whig stumpers
in the State. Such were johnson s.
positions and soundness Of argu-
ment drawn therefrom, that he car
ried the people with him, in spite of
the flashes of wit and cunning devil
ces Of bis ingenious opponent, Maj
Henry. They travelled from coun-I
ty to county together and spoke atI

Gov. JohnsoD's Message.

norTs Message from the Nashville
correspondence Of the Memphis Ea-
gle and Enquirer, (whig.) The ''lopg
delay" spoken of, is a matter of
taste. We think it was good tas te
in the Governor to wait, as lie d ia,
until he had had an opportunity
thoroughly to investigate the sub
jects discussed in his message. The
Enquirer's correspondent says:
After SO. long delay, that the
expression, "where is the Message:?"
became almost "bywords," Gov.
Johnson has sent this anxiously
looked for document; and, barring
the political views it contains, it is, in
my judgment, in most respects, a
plain, sensible, and practicable State
paper, giving information in regard
to the affairs of the Government, in
which all citizens will be interested.
His views on the subject of Internal
improvements, so far as-they refer
to the necessity of connecting the
different divisions Of the State. will
meet with hearty response, hough,
as a general thing, his opinions on the
subject are not sufficiently explicit.
At first glance, the amount of the
prospective and actual debt of the
State, (S21,0OO,00o,) seems enor-
NOUS; but, when it is taken into
consideration that, of this amount, a
vary large sum will not be asked for,
and such as is obtained, will be upon
the very best security, it does not
Sc EN- that we have much to fear
His opinion d pom the Pen tentiarS
System will hot'meet with ready
endorsement, for | believe it has been
generally conteded, that Of all plans
of punishment, none have proved SO
effectual, or possessed SO many adva n
ages, as that of confinement in Pc u
itentiaries, but when he speaks of
the manner in which the convicts
are employed, and their direct COM
petition with 4 large and worthy class
Of our CONN unity, | agree most
fully with his sentiments. 1t is to
be hoped, that his recommendations
on the subject eff Merchants Ii
cense, will be followed, and that it
may have SOME effect in securing the
passage of bill for their belief. His
recommendatip on to put the Bank Of
Tennessee in / state Of gradual liz
uidation, meets the views Of some Of
our citizens W ho do net belong to his
party. Whether an effort to do so
will be made pr not, | cannot tell
no bill has cen introduced to that
effect. But d noughiof The message.

"cate's pamphlet would have been acting
like honest men and Christians. The answers
they did give have been reported in our columns.
The Conn erciai Advertiser dissipates az edi-
torsl column on The Sanctity Of the Ba lot,
arguing that the Senatorial Committee had no
right to require the College Trustee. to declare
for whom they severslly voted. Suppose this
admitted, what Of it, The Trustees were re-
quired to say not for whom they voted but
whether they voted for one candidate, and By
consequence sgsirst another because Of their
or.rsion TO the theological opinions of he latter.
Now il is just So notorious, just as certain. that
Wolcott Gibbs vorid hare beea chosen Professor
of Chemistry in Columbia College if he had been
an Epscopalian, and uas not chosen because he
is Unitarian. as that two and two are four.
Some think this right in itself and not vol,-
ton of the College Charter; others hold a con-
trsry opinion; but can there be two opinions as
to the candOr and moral honesty evinced BY those
Trustees who answered the Committees inqui-
res in such manner ss to ignore and befcg the es-
seDtal fact
Ifthose Trustees who voted against Prof. Gibbs
or, if you are fastdOus ss to phrases, voted for
others than Prof Gbbs-were impelled TO their
choice by a persuasion that those others were
better qualified for the post in some other respect
thar that Of holding a more acceptable Theology,
it would have been easy to cay so. In that case,
the testimony might have been taken in day and
the whole case submitted to the Senate on It's re-
assembling next January. And We can imsgine
10 reason for prevarication and hair splitting by
the Trustees in the premises, except on the by
po,hesis that they believed it unsafe to tel the
max ed truth
