IMPORTANT TO SocIETY-Poor, afflicted hus-
bands, brothers and beaux, have been in sad
plight lately in New York, in consequence of
too rigid servitude to Partisan fashions-but
the last arrival thus foreshadows coming re-
lief:
Gan invention has lately been described by
a lively French writer, which converts creno-
line petticoat into balloon; the garment can
be swelled out or reduced to its natural volume
according to the will of the wearer. small
ingenious brass or caoutchouc machine is at
tached to the petticoat; this little piece of
mechanism is furnished with 8 souspipe and
piston. If you wish to be seated in carriage
or box at the theatre, you open the souspIpe
and the air disperses, leaving your dimensions
such as will enable you to occupy moderate
space. But if you intend to display your toilette
on the Ohalnps-Eysees, or to enter ball room
where hoops and trains reign triumphant you
press the piston the air fills the tissue, and the
crenoline swells out msjestically. With the
present style Of dress, it is nearly impossible
for Two ladies, in full toilette, to occupy the
same carriage"

A correspondent Of the Charleston Standard,
writing from 0eaa, in relation to the late Il dian
outbreak speaks as follows: at is scarcely
sary say that the excitement throughout all the
country is intense. IL is known that beside the
troops in the service Of the United Stats which
have been established al Fort Myers, and other
points along the line OF territory occupied by the
Indians there are several surveying parties c the
Eeld, whose position Is considered extremely peril
Gus Que of these is under w. G.. Nosely, son of
Governor MOsely. Another is under w. S, Har-
riss, late a member to the Legislature from Marion
county; ard another under Mr.. Daniels, ana all Of
them are known 20 be so completely without appre-
hension from the Indians, that they are only pro-
vidsi with few guns necessary for hunting pur.
poses. This whole surveying force is under the
general superintendenee OF the Surveyor-Gsneral OF
the State, Dr. Wescott; aud il il cause OF further
anxiety that he also was to have been on the
ground prior 20 the 25th inst, when ID was agreed
that the several parties should meet and take their
Cristuass dinner together, aud concert their plans
for further operation

assume the editorial management of new
sheet, "The Patriot" devoted to the advocacy
of the American Party. And have watched
with some interest the course of your journal
since the issue of the first number, and am
proud of the able and manly defence Of Ameri-
can Principles, which its every number con-
tains. Defeated in the late canvass for Cover
nor By vile and ungenerous denunciation, and
resort TO every species Of misrepresentation
to which a party press and partizan orators

the State, to unite in sustaining you as well as
every other paper engaged in the good work,

The Democratic party is organizing in every
county in the State, and from present indica-
tons, the old tricks, revamped, will likely be
attempted. In such case, is it not imperative
that we should be well organized, and in every

THE PRESIDENT AND SLAvERY.--The Sa-
vannah Republican speaks approyingly of
that portion of the Presidents message
which treats Of the Constitutional rela-
tions of slavery" and adds:
In reading this portion of the Presidents
message, we could not bat feel aregret, both for
himself 0or we have never offered him fac
tious opposition) and the country, that his adj
minstration has not been squared by views so
sound and patriotic. Abolition, that was
strangled and crushed at it's beginning, is full
grown aud rampant at It's close. OF all public
men in this country, Mr.. Pierce has done more
% gavanize and reanimate the hydra-headed
monster. Had he preached these doctrines to
Van Buren, aud his free soil followers three
wears ago, and acted on them himself we
should have had very different state Of things
from what we now see around us. Il is but
nc that lac should signalize the last year Of his
rule by so bold 81 effort 10 repair the errors Of
the psst. We fear, however, it is too late.
1t is characteristic Of the Democratic
Party to look in ono direction aud row in
another, aud it is folly to expect anything
better Of Mr.. Pierce.

Old documents are proverbiaiy dangerous things.
In the year 1915. when the annexation Of Texas
uas under discussion, SiepAsn A. DOggiass offered
the following proviso:
''PTosidsd. Aopspsr That In such State or States
shall be formed eus Of the territory north Of the
said Missouri compromise line, slavery. or isveun-
tary seryitude. except for crime shall be prohibit
ed"
Nov, lee il be remembered that this proviso not
only recognized the poser Of Congress 70 iegislAae
upon the subject OF slavery In the Territories but
NON Tolerated slavery. Let Il be remembered also
thata similar Proviso was attached 70 the Oregon
Territorial Bill and the leaders and supporters Of
slavery exclusion In both Instances, are nos the

COMBINATIONS AGAINST Con- INATIoNs.-The
combination of spectators throughout the
country to keel, up the price of provisions, is
raising counter combinations upon the part of
the consumers. In Boston, n Mr.. A. b. Keith
is making spirited movement in this way,
and the Post, in commencing bis plan, says:
he has as yet failed of forming ''conbns-
ton" for the proposed purpose, but he has sue
ceeded in awakening the attention Of philan-
thropic capitalists thereto, and gratifying
end has been gained, as the money has been
furnished and store is TO be Immediately
opened in Boston, where lous per single bar
rel can be bought ct the Western price for a
thousand barrels, with the additional charge
of five per cent. only for additional expenses.
The plan is to send an agent out West with
money in bis hand to buy the flour and ship
il 10 the East, the expenses attending which
the freight, carriage and storage will be fully
covered by the five per cent. above named.
Profit is out of the question. 1t is beneficial
movement and not speculative, and the pro-
ft that would under the old system accrue to
the speculator, goes into benefit for the pur-
chaser. This would peculiarly be the result of
combination il is held, and it is also held that
it needs but to commence to be successful.

Answer TO Ie9cber hOrE's VuestOH'
Mr. EDIToR:-I respectfully submit the fol-
lowing, as a solution of the question published
inyour issue of January 9th, 1856, and address
ed to Inquirer"
The number sought is 1881.
The conditions of the question were as fol-
lows:-What is the least number, that if it be
divided by IS, there will be a remainder of 10;
if divided by 10, there will be remainder OF
IL if divided by IL, there will be remainder
of Z.
see, first, from the question: that the num-
Der sought must contain 10 at least once, with
a remainder 15-15, however, is not the only
remainder sought, nor is 10 the only given d.
visor. Therefore, having obtained the num-
Der that contains 10 once, with remainder of
10, the next step to be taken in the solution,
( was to find out whether that number if divided
by 10, would give remainder of II. l dis
covered that it would not. OF course, then,
did not regard that number any further. l
I then added 19 to 81, 0he SUN of 19< 15) and
divided the sum by Is, but found that my re-
mainder did not meet the requirements of the
question. | then continued to add 10, and to
divide by Is, until obtained IL for my re-
mainder. The number last divided, divided
by IL, to get, if possible, the third remainder,
bat did not succeed. | continued this pro-
cess of addition and division until | found
second number that gave me the two first re-
mainders. then divided by IL, for the third
remainder, but did not get it.
Thus far | thought | had made two steps
towards the solution of the question.-Flrst,
had obtained two of the required remainders;
second, had discovered the dfference-2S5-
between the first number giving two of the re-
mainders, and the second one. | then added
285 to the second of the above numbers, and
divided for the third remainder, and continued
this process until got a that
gave me the three remainders.
BY inspecting the question, l noticed that
| there was common difference of 4 between the
several divisors and remainders. | then null
| tiplied the divisors together and found that
sired by 4, the common difference. From 3135
| Isubtracted f. and proceeded to make rule,
from my work, for solving the question. It is
as follows:-Multiply the several divisors to-
gether, and from their product subtract the
| common difference between the divisors aud
! remanders. The result will be the number
| sought.
! N. B.-The rule for solving the above ques-
ton, | think will apply to any question in
! which there is regular common difference be-
tween the divisors and remainders, if not, any
information on the subject will be thankfully
| received. INQUIRER.
