Bassness Mails and General items.


A quantity Of old papers come tumbling into
our sanctum, occasionally, yesterday. We had the
common cement Of q surfeit, which may last two or
three days. learn that stupendous delusion, the
grand Cairo daily mail is about resuming deliveries.
Having now received the first nstament, as they say
In the bank parlor, we shape our course accord
ingly.
We do not suppose that it win be news to say that
yesterday was beautiful day; whether everybody
ont do not pretend to assert but if the pri-
cipal streets, yesterday say CamRy Canal, Royal,
Chaitres, ST. Charles and even Union and Caronde,et
Streets were not pretty lively with thousands of citizens
and visitors We should like for some Of antiquaed
citizens to step in and inform where all the people
came from we met in the course of our perambula-
tons The weather was sufficiently mild for the
grass TO take start, but really could not discern
any evidence Of its sprouting. We do not mean to
say that some Of our Partisan friends enjoyed them
selves yesterday and the day before as well as they
would have done in the murky frosty streets Of Paris
or on the top Of snow bank in the hyperborean
gions Of this Union, but we to say they enjoyed
themselves, although they were in New Orleans.
There wasa decidedly improved feeling in the gene
raj tenor Of affairs yesterday. Several of the back
mails having been received, our mercantile community
could arrive at something definite in its deliberations
There nothing, however in the general character
Of the adyices received to change the good feeling
which has existed for weeks though no later regular
adyices than the Sd Of January were received. The
Persa's mails may come through to-day, but when
the Arabiaswi be forthcoming, it is difficult to say
though they will be due on Friday, they will not
Y reach hete III al probability till Saturday.
There WIS more hustle and activity on the landings
yesterday. It will be seen that the Yicksburg and
Memphis packets are bringing in very reduced cargoes
Of cotton. We shall however, have the receipts very
heavy for some time from Red and Ouachita rivers,
and IT will be duly observed they will all be wanted
to bring receipts at this port up to 520OoO bales.

From the Westminster Review for October
Three years and half ago, when treating Of man
nors and fashion, this review made the ayowa,
There needs. then, a professionalism in social
usages;" and the writer proceeded 10 point out how
the ridicue played of by the humorists Of society
against our most glaring social folies must ineya
bly, overthrow them. Signs are not wanting that
some change is nj hand. Ridiculc has always been
a revolutionary agent. That which Is habitually
assailed with sneers and sarcasms cannot long
yive. The time u approaching, then. when our sys
tenn Of social observances must pass through some
crisis, out Of which IL will come purified and cofnpa
rativey simple Thus II appeared In 1854 that we
had reached such n pitch Of extravaganza In our
tastes and usages that we could scarcely make our
selves absurd yet during the intervening years
the graycs Of those social extmvagances, that Of fc
male dress, has become much more conspicu
Gus than al any time within three generations that
the expected crisis must be very near indeed, and
the conventional professionalism must be ripe for pro-
mitigation II reform v really TO come about by such
means. We see reason 10 believe, shall pres.
emily show, that the prophecy Of 1854 was rational
one: and we venture 10 hope that the fathers and
husbands Of the rising female generation will have
less To suffer In mind and in purse from the foles Of
their fair relatives than neighbors Of the present
day.
We doubt whether in any age Of our national his.
tory or on any spot Of the globe, more indefens
BILE mode of dress could be pointed out than have
Displayed before us at this moment in the Worid Of
Fashion, published by Simkn and Marshall, and Gas

mediate upon with more leisure than the mind can
obtain in parks Crystal Palaces and Chiswick Gar
dens where we have met Che originals; and quiet
contemplation of the garb Of 1857 can leave no other
conviction we are confident, than that, II ladies'
were rational five years ago, no more reliance can be
placed on reason than caprice. But the truth IL,
dress is not a matter in which reason has ever yet
had much concern, II may be occasionally reason.

To all who seek recreation and health amid the
mountains of Virginia, your correspondent asks,
unaffectedly, to commend the Rockbridge Baths

Virginia Central Railroad, and within about twelve
hours ride from Richmond, Petersburg and Alex

tween Goshen and Lexington
The water is literally charged with carbOnic acid
gas and impregnated with magnesa, iron, &C, thus
aifording a superior fs1lic bath, slightly mlder in
temperature than the "old Sweet" 1t has been
known and used for many years by persons in the
more immediate vicinity. with decided benefit in
cases of nervous prostration and general debility
Its beneficial effects in diseases to which women and
children are especially incident have been very
marked-several cases having come within the
knowledge of the writer.
This property has been purchased, during the
past year, by a company of gentlemen in Rock
bridge, who have spared no expense to provide the
very best accommodations. The chambers are fur
mshed with carpeting, stoves, and the best hair
mattresses, and are fully equal to the completest
rooms at our most fashionable watering places
while the table is supplied with everything that
the heart can wish.
Tho expenses are ten dollars per week, with no
extra charge for bathing As a quiet, comfortable
and efilcaciOus summer resort. | know of none in
