Ladies Dresses.

- "
"a New York paper thus speaks of the
new fashion of ladies dresses. which re-
qpires that they should be very fulI;
Thank God the fashion has not gotto this
country yet.
Sk1RTs.-Oh Venus de Medicis such
skirts and waists How can we embrace
them at all Positively, there is no such
thing as getting around them in one eff
fort Skirts have swollento that extent
of fashion, that no door is wide enough
for them to pass through without cousid-
cradle squeezing. Real /" bellies" of the
fashion now seem like,moving bells, liter
ally, so, that mullets and men have to
steer well in the streets, else they will
run against ropes, hoops, bag~matting,
crinoline, and the deuce knows what,
which now inhabit the ladies dress, and
completely take up the sidewalks. As
for the girl-by Joye She seems no.
where The other day we happened to
see two of the dumpy" kind Of moving
bellies of fashion, sailing along the street
la ".pointer" style-hands close and
skirts out. At forty PAGES distant they
seemed like miniature pyramids of silk ;
at twenty PAGES strong smell of cologne
water and other essences at ten PAGES a
little lump like bonnet was discernible
at the top of the skirt pyramid at three
PAGES distant the imbedded voice of fe-
male in the dress could be heard at two
PAGES, four ringlets of slim appearance re-
sembling cat-tails dipped in molasses were
discovered-two eyes of weak and cou-
sumptive expression resembling boiled
Onions-lips like unto thin sandwiches
with a bit of discolored beefsteak sticking
out, thin and dry-and cheeks rouged'
with mein fun (Chinese colOring. :
This was all that could create in us the
impression or Imagination, that the above
things, dry goods, etc, formed-a eoomam'!
We moved aside to allow canvas, ropes
and hoops to pass. and went on our way
rejoicing that such was not our share o.
what happy husbands like to term, o
my honey !''

PARKER II. FRENCH. The Nicaragua
hero, has been lobbying at Washington,
where he was introduced to large num-
Der of Congressman. He is represented
as small. thin man. evidently in i'll
health, and, like Walker. about twenty
nine years Of age. His demeauor is mo.
dest and couciliatory, but there is GER
tain air, inSeparable it is presumed from
the hazardous life he has led, which would
mark him as q one Of the boys" While
the former government was in power in
Nicaragua, he acted there as an agent
and forerunner of Walker, displaying not
q little tact and bravery in carrying out
his secret designs. -

lowing declaration ofsthe object and aims

County Court.

Owing to the severity Of the weather,
there was but slim attendance at the
County Court last week. There was but
little disposition manifested on the part OF
the Court, members Of the bar, or suiLors
to do any business. We give below a
synopsis of all the proceedings Of any i'm
portnnce. 1t is not improbable that the
Court by its next term may be able to ex-
change the uncomfortable room in which
it has for some time past temporarily held
its sessions, for the commodious and Gle .
CANT apartments of the new Courthouse.
If SO, it may reasonably be expected that
business will henceforih be conducted
with " neatness and DESPATCH"
AL the justices having been summoned
to appear at this term to consider the
propricty Of appointing commissioners Of
roads, in the county and IL majority being
present, it was ordered that one Commits
sioner be appointed for each of the five dis
tricts in the county, viz
LIST Dstrict-Luther Raymond,
Cd, Edward Stcuart,
Sd, Hiram J. Lynch,
4th, VIM. f. Lyon.
5:h, Scldcn NJ. Ogdon.
II is the duty of the Commissioners to
lay off their respective districts into pre-
cincts, and make ont list of hands for
each precinct and report to next Court.
1t was ordered that the Sheriff open a
poll in the third district of this county on
the first Friday in February, for tho cleo
ton of constable to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the death of Mr.. Darius
Hinkle.
Mcssrs. A. Werninger and ]. R. DAw-
son were appointed commissioner to pro-
vide repairs to the County Jail.
Two cases on the Fnney v.
Quinn, and Jones v. Hill-Eerc by con-
sent of parties referred to arbitration-
All other cases continued.

CNIyERsITY OF FIEGINIA.-There are
now five hundred and thirty~one students
by far the greatest number ever assem-
bled there-at this noble and flourlshng
institution, viz: From Virginia 334,
South Carolina 81, Alabama 90, Georgia
Is, Mississippi 81, Louisiana 90, Mary

Missouri 8, Florida 6, District Of CoIum-
bia 5, Tennessee 4, Texas 3, California
Q, Delaware l. Arkansas 1, Pennsylvania
/, New York i, Connecticut l.
The Charlottville Advocate says that
no tower than seventy young men were
refused martriculation this year, because
their previous standing showed them un.
qualified to receive any benefit from the
University. The Faculty invariably ad
viscs the parents or guardians of students
who are not making profitable use their
time, to withdraw them from the Univer-
sity.
The expense of u student (says the
Charlottesville Jcfcrsoniau, which con.
tains the full catalogue of marticulates, }
for the session Of nine months beginning
on the LIST Of October and ending on the
goth Of Juue, are about 275 dollars, in
elusive OF books and stationery, clothing
and pocket money. The State educates
thiny-lwo meritous young men, who are
not themselves, and whose parents are
not in IL situation to incur the expense Of
education, Gone from each of the late
Senatorial district in the State, J free of all
expense of board, Professors fee, and
University charges. These students con-
tinuc two years, at the end of which time
others are appointed in their places; and
by way of remuneration for the assistance
thus offered, they are expected to teach
in some public or private school within
the limits Of Virginia, for two years after
leaving the University.

The PoTATo CROP IN IRELAND.--The
Belfast Daily Mercury, of Dec. LIST, has
the following account of the potato crop
in Ireland
"The potato crop is at length raised,
and its abundant produce has been stored
up in excellent condition. Some of the new
er varieties of the Irish esculent have turn
ed out far beyond the ordinary amount OF
yield, and even the older and what may
be called more finished qualities, gave
very ample produce. In several districts
of this country the gross amount Of yield
has been nearly $50 bushels per acre, on
other lands 200 bushels were raised, and
the less active soils produced about so
bushels. In very few instances have
traces of the disease been found, and even
where that malady had caught on some
portion of the crop, the tubcrs so attack
ed are still fit for cattle feeding, thus in a
great degree making up for the loss that
might otherwise have been sustained
The extent of soil under potatoesIn Ire
land this season is given ut 98l ,529 acres
Taking round numbers and averaging the
total produce at 200 bushels per acre, the
gross amount of food produced for man
and cattle would be about two hundred
million bushels. Throwing off one fourth
for waste and unmarketable potatoes
there will be found net turn out of one
hundred and fifty million bushels"
The value Of this crop is estimated by
the Mercury at Is Sd por bushel, giving
to the entire crop money value equal tc
twelve and a half million sterling, and
this, too, without taking into estimation
the small, the diseased, or the otherwise
inferior portions of the aggregate crop
The quality of the yield is said to be very
fine.

Next Springs CANVASS.

1t is a ell-established fact that our po-
litical opponents, to the entire extent OF
their ability, do, and will prescribe e0sr9
person who is not member Of their Sc
cret conclave. The fact is proven by
their oaths, and their conduct whenever
and wherever there is a probability OF
success. Norris this prescription confined
to the highest and most responsible Off
GERS, but descends to the petty and insig-
ni6cant Offices, in a political point of view,
of Magistrate, Constable and lo,On Cous-
ciImen. They have thrown down the
gauntlet Of applying political test in the
election Of all officers, let US boldly meet
it, and defeat them at their own game
The anti-republican principles of the
Know Nothing party, has met the con-
domination it so richly deserved, and we
possess the power of meteing out to them
the measure they had prepared for US :
let us do it, and teach them that to sue
coed they must depend upon principle in
stead of humbuggery, and seek to pros
mote the good of the people instead Of
ofliceseeking demagogues.
Under our editorial head will be found

name Of "sorgho sucre" sorghum sGccAG4

national importance. 1t has succeed adj
mirably in various sections of the Union,
in some instances, growing to the height
of twelve or fifteen feet. and yielding by
estimate twenty-five tons to the acre OF
excellent green fodder. much relished by

see some of our contemporaries attempt
ing to make this plant appear as identi-
cal with the common broom corn: Any
one who would trouble himself TO call d

ANOTHER AMERICAN IMPRISONED IN
FRANCE.-A Paris letter relates the fol-
lowing of Mr.. Goodyear, the New York
India rubber manufacturer, who has been
spending some time, and money too, it
appears at the late French exhibition :
The day that Mr.. Goodyear received
his decoration he was seized for debt and
thrown into CIichv. The law of France
in the matter of debt is unjustly severe
on foreigners. Mr. Goodyear has been
three times 10 CIichy during his short re-
sidence in France. Last year he employ
ed carriage maker Of Paris to make him
carriage of the most elegant and costly
form complete in vulcanized India rub
Der. Mr.. Goodyear was to furnish the
material, and was to pay for the job a
large sum Of money. The material was
partly furnished, and about the time the
job was commenced the manufactures
sued Mr. Goodyear for the whole sum-
Mr.. Goody: VI refused to pay, and as no
warning is here given to foreigners. he
was seized. thrown into prison, and only
obtained his liberty by paying the whole
sum which he agreed to pay for the car
rage. The contract remains unfinished.
In the present instance, Mr.. Goodyear
engaged machine to perform certain
kind of work in the India-rubber manu>
facture, which, on delivery, was found,
like most European attempts at following
American models, to be imperfect, and
entirely incompetent to perform the labor
required. He refused its acceptance, and
in few hours afterwards found himself
in prison! Indignant at such treatment,
he declared his intention not to pay the
debt. and on Saturday gave big dinner
in prison to his friends. But his family
paid the sum, (twenty thousand
francs,) and he was compelled to come
out. He will now have to collect the
money by suN.

son with Il brother who was living in that
quarter, be returned 10 the " Raft" for
the rest of his family. On reaching their

with the yellow fever. of which they soon
died. He, too, ere long sank beneath

A GRAND RAILWAY scnrME.-A grand
railway from Now York to New Orleans
is project which has lately been mooted
a good deal in some quarters. The pros
jeot is to connect the links Of roads alrea-
dy built, and form great chain from New
York city, via Easton, Harrisburg. Car
Isle, Hagerstown, Winchester, Abing>
don, Knoxville, Tuscaloosa, Mobile and
New Orleans, and also branching from
Knoxville to Charleston and Savannah,
and from Hagerstown to Cincinnati and
St. Louis. In favor OF this route, It is
urged that Cumberland Valley extends
from the Delaware at Easton without q
crossing ride, through Pennsylvania, Yir-
GINA, Tennessee, down into the level re-
gions Of South Alabama, presenting d.
rect and favorable route for a railroad
from New Orleans to Philadelphia and
New York.
