GONG TO HOLD OvER.-In view Of the strong
probability that the "Black Republicans will
elect their candidate for President next fall. the
Washington States, the especial organ Of Sena-
tor Douglas at the Federal Capital. offers the
following seasonabe suggestion to the present
heads of Departments
"A sentiment is beginning to develope itself
in the sIayeholding States which, if we mistake
not the signs Of the times, will soon be heard in
Washington, demanding OF Howell Cobb, John
B. Floyd, Jacob Thompson and Joseph Holt, an
answer, whether they are prepared to surrender
the purse, the sword, and the navy, to Seward
Ism, in case of its consolidation, on the 4th Of
March, 1861"
We are anxious to know how Messrs. Cobb,
Floyd, Thompson and Holt can help themselves;
or by what process the ssslaveholding States"
propose to keep "the purse, the sword and the
navy" in case the PEOPLE of the United States
see fit to elect William Ii. Seward President in

A WILD WOMAN in REAcH.--There was .
woman seen near Bishops mill, who appears to
be perfectly wild. She was frat seen on the
18th instant, by<wo gentlemen who had been
hunting, standing near the stream that fails
from the race gazing Mt the Orange men who
were 1t that time passing within sight. The
men thinking she was one Of the neighboring
women who bad come to battle, as she was per-
fcctly naked, did not discover themselves to her
for some time. 5a s
They affirm that she il almost as dark as q
negro, but having the features Of a white; about
medium height, appeared TO be between 40 and
80 years Of age, and was very lean, with small
face and snnken eyes. When they approached
near enough to be seen, she started up like .
deer, Immediately taking to the woods, leapng
sometimes from 10 to Is feet The men gave
chase, but did not keep in sight but . few min
utes. After wandering about for some time
trying to get sight of her, but in vain, they re
turned and told their seemingly incredible story.
The following day six men started in search,
and secured the woods for miles around. About
4Oclock as they were abou: to return, they
we're startled by the cracking Of some brush,
and upon looking in the direction from whence
II proceeded, observed her passing: they all
made a rush at her, but she was of and out OF
sight in a twinkling.
To-day some 10 or la men started in search,
and about noon she was seen BY Mr.. Eson, who
made sure he had her, but she left him in quick
style; be followed her short distance, but on
coming to quagmire, be, from his great
weight, could proceed no farther. He says be
came to a spot where she had been dressing
cat, and had eaten a portion of it. All the
people in the neighborhood intend turning out
next Wednesday, and if they prove successful,
| will let you know.-Cor. Kingston (Canada)

HAYWOOD AND DoDaE.-The attention of the
reader d called 10 the account in another
column. from the pen Of correspondent, Of
the discussion between Messn. Kirkwood and
Dodge at Oskaloosa, Friday afternoon and
evening. This account, which We have reason
% know, % entirely fair 70 General Dodge, will
be- read with interest. It shows the
Bhgadisr to have been been beaten in argu-
ment-to have been ha11somsly used up-and
to make matters worse, 70 have lost his temper
and made himself the butt of the audience. At
Ottumva, when they had dicussiosu, it WAS
the same. Dodge again had the worst Of it,
His sulogies Of slavery. his expressions Of
willingness to turn ont and help catch run
away niggers-his assertion that slavery is .
civilising Christianizing institution, will notsgo
down even among the "hairy nation" Such
miserable teadyism-such disgusting exbibi-
tious Of officiating may pay at Washington
But upon the free soil before the free people Of
Iowa wsrer. A Democrat who was present at
Ostumwa says Dodge Was Handsomely, but
most effectively used up-beaten at all points.
Republicans we're jubilant, Democrats sore and
long-faeed.
II this discussion can be kept up-if Dodge
can be prevailed upon to visit all parts of the
State with Kirkweod, it will be Q 6nisher to the
Brigadier. He will be laid very high upon the
highest shelf among worthless lumber.

A PROBABLE INSTALLING would suggest
to the Democratic Central Committee, that pos.
sibly they have made mistake ard placed the
platform of the Democratic party Of Mississippi
in the hands of Gen. Dodge, instead of the
platform Of the party in Iowa. We judge SO
from the speeches Gen. Dodge is making, in
which he vindicates the humanity and chris
tianixing influences of the African slave trade,
switch takes the poor negroes from the heather
jungles of Africa, enlghtens. civilizes and
finally saves them in heaven" The Committee
had probably better look into this, for it would
be pity if the General should expend ali his
energies in trying to uphold,he wrong platform.

FEMALE FASHIONS FOR MAY
IErom lie EolIet ]


The show rooms of the leading firms are now
decorated with all the rich and tasteful novel
ties for the spring and summer seasons We
give our fair readers the benefit of our usual
tour Of inspection. =
The pardessus occupies considerable attep-
ton at the present moment. We must speak
Of several, the productions of one of our first
houses, varying from the most sumptuous trim
med with many yards Of handsome lace, to the
most simple taffetas mantle worn by quite
young ladies.
The new casaque is made to be worn either
hitting close to the figure, or loose. according to
taste. To effect this a drawing string is run in
the back at the waist. The front is always left
loose, and is made with long square ends re-
sembling the Louis XE. mantle. This form of
easaque, according to the richness Of the ma
terlal and trimming, may be worn either in
full toilette OF demi-neglge
1t seems quite certain tnat large casaques of
the same material as the dress will be ayain
worn this year, especially in quiltings, Nankins
and SWISS cambrics. This Of course, will be
when the season is a little more advanced: in
the meantime black silk is the material chiefly
adopted.
There can be no doubt that the mantIes for
the summer will be worn low on the shoulders
and pointed behind. OF these we shall be able
to give more decided information in another
month. We have already, however. seen a
very handsome one entirely covered with let
embroidery, and trimmed round with two deep
frills of splendid guipure.
In speaking of the make Of dresses we must
not fail 10 mention that an attempt has been
made by some ladies to restore the fashion of
skirts with the breadths cut narrow at the waist
and gradually widening towards the bottom
This is style which, should it ever be again
established, will be adopted by very slow de-
grees, Skirts Of dresses are worn very full and
long.
z The newest bOnnets are made decidedly lar
ger in front, very back at the cheeks, so as to
leave ample room for the hair and trimming
inside the bonnet ..., 80 .
Grape or tulle, mixed with velvet or silk. il
the most fashionable This year violet. Iiyht
green shot with blue, and Empress lilac, are
the favorite colors.
A trimming much approved by one of our
elegaRtes is that of small birds, placed on the
bonnet either in the midst of boquet of flowers
or on a wreath. 80 ..tt. -rsF
The Empress wore on n recent occasion bon
net Of white Grape, with a small humminy bird
placed on spray of lilac. = So
Wreaths are still most generally worn for
evening coiffure Amongst the newest was one
composed Of fruit of the tomato tree, lilies Of
the valley in gold, bunch Of reeds in gold,
and leaves OF young vines at the back; another
ol daisies, with diamond centres, with foliage
OF health; and third of black, red and gold
berries.
