Mrs. SwIssHELM OK THE "GEETLEMEN's FASHIONS"
Mrs. Swisshem, the sprightly edtress of the Pitts
burgh Journal, thus gives her views, in the last
number of that paper, of the ridiculous fashions in
vogue in respect to gentlemen's wearing apparel
She seems decidedly to object to DOMINIC such
abreeches" as are now worn oy the "lords Of crea-
on"-Hear Mrs. S:
1.-THE gentlemen have such busy time ridiculing
the ladies' fashions that they have leisure to see
the ridiculous figure they often cut on their own &C
count. Here for two winters, they have been
stalking around, looking for all the world like so
many pumpkins, with two cornstalks stuck in the
blossom end, and bit of stem left on the other-in
coats just the length of farmers wastcoat, half
yard too wide, stuffed out with wadding, and
drawn up around their ears-sleeves Ike meal
sacks, and pantaloons tight as fiddle strings-To
see them handle their drumsticks in this outfit was
natural curiosity This winter the stilt-like sup
porters mysteriously disappear; panaloons are in
visible, and coats bid fair to rival ladies' skirts in
the sublime art of street-sweeping.
MAY we not expect, in a few years, to have
some adventurous relormer of the wiser sex advo-
eating and adopting Boomer costume, to emanci-
pate the taller half of creation from the thraldom
Of II avy skirts?
ave do think gentlemen should spare US many
of their homilies on woman's vanity in dress, until
they learn to regulate their own costumes with
some appreciation of comfort and suitability"

CHATTANOOGA AND CLEVELAND RAILRoAD-The
present condition of this important branch Of Rail
road is this-the stockholders of the Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad al their last annual meeting
ratified the propositions made by its able Presi-
dent Col Stevenson and Directors, to take Ger
tain share Of the stock necessary to construct this
road; the stockholders Of the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad unanimously agreed &c the same
understanding ar their last meeting and have ia
ken the remainder of the stock and ratified con-
tract made with John d. Gray & Co, of Georgia.
who have engaged TO do the entire work and have
it completed by the first Of July, 1857. Too much
credit cannot be awarded TO President Wallace of
the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, for the
energy and wisdom displayed in carrying out this
great measure. Considerable opposition was dis
played a short time previous TO the stockholders
meeting, but all was finally adjusted in manner
satisfactory to all parties.
We can see no reason now why the road should
not be built And when finished, Tennesseaus may
well rejoice that a close connection is made within
the limits Of the State between Eastern and Mid
die Tennessee and that without useless uavel
direct connection is made with Virginia and the
northern cities When we consider the great poll
cy Of this State toward railroad improvements, it
IS to be wondered that this chain OF Tennessee
road should have been allowed to be severed in the
manner it now is when money might have been
saved in the outset by coming to this point; but
without hunting up the antiquaUed reasons for the
policy Of the original companies let it suffice that
the right spirit has finally been secured and that
the road is fully determined upon to be built Let
the good work progress Chattanooga AdU.

Sundays I'll closing of the bars ii the principal
oleis 10 the pubic was very GENERALLY followed 10y
i,,.llsss less pretetsion iS'iii, h9par sold
and the know I'M, ones" knew where to get it. A
good many cute lodges oil the striped pig SOFT
weres enacted. At q hotel 10 Llspenard st, lodg-
ngs tor the night could be had iUr % cents and a
uckt t receipt given on the payment oil the cash.
Those no thus became guests Of the house could,
OF course, for the regular charge, be supplied with
wine or such other liquor as suited their fancy or
taste. without violation of the law. The hotel
did unusually large business in the lodging" line,
and judging from the number OF names registered
on the book, every room must have been occupied
by more than ole guest
Some of the saloons did the fair thing without
any equivocaton. On the sign Of one, in the vi
cnity OF Barnum's Museum, the thirsty, and all
others interested, were informed that there would
be mo communication with spirits. A party OF
three persons reported that during the day. they
had travelled from Union Square to Park Row in
search of something to drink, but were unable to
e ldany.
This result is as satisfactory to citizens as it is
credtabe to the energy Of the Mayor.
At the Charleton House, the front doors and win
dows Of the bar-room were closed, while the doors
leading to the office and readngrosms were kept
open, for the exclusive use Of the guests of the
house. However, an occasional customer slipped
in and got his toddy, under pretense Of being
boarder. 1t is, however, the intention of Mr.
Hodges to hereafter refuse all persons admission tc
the bar on Sunday.
AT the Astor House many laughable scene:
were witnessed. The bar of the exchange room
was by the direction of Messrs. Coleman & Stet
