nII1SICAL SQIREE.

We ut one time suggested to the Trustees OF our
Female College the idea, elsewhere approved, OF
monthly concerts; by which their young ladies
might display the progress and proficiency inmus'-
cal studies and be thereby stimulated to more earn
est efforts and higher attainments, and atthe same
time most agreeable recreation be afforded to
the society of our town. We are pleased to no.
tice that Messrs. ORCHARD and MULLER, the &C.
complished teachers have introduced this attrac-
tive feature, and are carrying out their purpose
effectively and handsomely.
The concert on Friday evening last was the first
We have been able to attend. 1t was capital
entertainment The young ladies acquitted them
selves we'll; some of them exhibited talents and q
culture altogether remarkable. Our word for It,
each monthly reunion will result pleasantly and
proftably to al-professors, pupils and auditory.

GREENyILLE CORRESPONDENCE

GREEyvILLE, S. c., March %, 1859.
Mr.. Editor:-Will you let Greenville be rep
resented this week in the EyeuiRER? Your Che
raw correspondent week or two back, delayed
writing because he had too much news from bis
quarter. think I can safely warrant no inter-
ruption in this direction for that reason. By the
bye, your Cheraw correspondent had better look
sharp or he may have the Order down upon him.
Did you observe after his shud1er over the trage-
dies recently enacted in that quarter he says, 81
much prefer to talk about something more agree
able" and thereupon 'rhisks round, and in order
to make particular gin.gle of words, is found
rum mngng after certain KEY, which when dis
covered, proves to be 1rhis key No doubt our
friend included in that hit all liquors of that ia.
vorite brandt mean brandy.
The Colleges Of our town are now in full blast
for the first term of 1859. They have opened
auspciously- Furman University numbering
one hundred and ten students including the Pre-
paratory Department; and the Female College
with its "Preps," numbering also, about one hun
dred and ten.
This is Court Week, and the usual phenomena
of such occasions have not failed to follow. I
believe, however the docket is of moderate length
yet lengthy enough to give support to the mo-
jority of our lawyer population.
For some time back cur town has been under
considerable excitement from the presence Of in
cendaries. few weeks ago the steam saw mill
connected with the large coach factory of Cox,
COVER, MARKLEY & WoRTH1NGToN-by the way,
the largest factory Of the sort in the State-was
burned down. Since then repeated attempts have
been made to set fire to their store and workshops
Their establishment is large one, giving steady
employment to o large number Of hands and Of
fording support to number of our best citizens
and the destruction of their establishment alone,
would be, for that reason, great calamity. But
their establishment fronts on the Main street, is
very large, and filled with paints, oils and mate
rials of the most combustible character, 80 that
were it to take fire, there is no knowing to what
extent through the rest Of our town, damage
would follow. The holiness of the attempts
made, constitute also reason for the excitement.
A short time back their watchman narrowly es-
capped death from pistol ball, at about four o.
clock in the morning. Last Friday night two
persons were chased off the premises, and alto.
gether there have been four arrests made-one Of
them woman-but which from all can learn
are premature, as nothing of material character
can be proved against them. The woman is sup
posed to be one of the number chased from the
premises, who it is said dressed ar homme for the
occasion. Yours, SC.

WAR RUMORS.

The rumors of war in Europe are becoming
more frequent and are entertained with confidence
in wellinformed circles. Preparations are IN
progress by all the Powers concerned loans have
been effected by Sardinia, and as France has COM
mitted herself to the contest the result hangs al
most solely upon the decision Of the Sandman
King. Having great burden of wrongs to throw
offsa deep, long-medtated revenge to satate, the
liberties of Italy to achieve, and the strong arm
of NAPOLEON to aid in the struggle, we cannot
doubt that the war cry viii soon be sounded ana
the conflict begun. Else, furnished now with all
the conditions of success, Sardinia would be re-
creant to her trust.
Telegraph;c dispatches were published in the
Courier, last week, stating that hostities had ac-
tually commenced. This statement has not been
confirmed, however, though authorities agree that
war is inevitable.

TINE IS MoNEY.-A correspondent, hearing tha:
such is the case, desires to be informed how many
years it would take to pay small bill Of hun

cannot inform him definitely upon that point; but
We know how he would stand chance of dis
charging that little obligation, and putting up
good amount for rainey day. That is by en-
closing $40, S5, or S24, to WOOD EDDY s. Co., to
their address, Wilmington, Delaware, or Augusta,

Tile Fashions in Ntw York.-Last Thursday was
"Opcning Day" among the modistes Of New York,
the day on which the feminine fashions Of the
Spring were suffered to bloom forth. Millinery
emerged from its winter retreats, and sparkled
from hundreds of windows. The New York papers
contain heightened accounts Of the event. Their
descriptions of the new fashions are eloquent and
thrilling. The most brilliant narrator tells us
that the styles of the present year are strikngly
let US frankly say it-fatally beautiful. The
sumptuous soul of that extravagant little Eugene
is in them ALL" The details are no less elaborate
ly set forth. Beginning at the top. we learn that
the bonnets have expanded little, and have as
sumed "Marie Stuart" droop in front; that their
capes have sensibly diminished; and that the
principle materials chip, tulle and Grape, with
few ornaments. The fashion of robes is less i'm
perative than last year, although the Pompadour
seem to be the most in vogue but as for the cor
sage it may be cut in any way the wearer pleases,
and yet not be astray. Sleeves have received
double attention an entirely new style, known as
the Clotilde, has been invented lit is q "half
bias flowing sleeve, open halfway up the arm, and
mounted with n deep fall gathered in loose
band" There is also the square open sleeve, and
the full bias with drop cuff. Skirts are not scanty
1t seems that "the double-skrt, ornamented with
the new Dahlia trimming, will be the feature Of
the Spring this trimming is very rich and grace
full, and is imported of oil widths and colors In
skirts the upper one is sometimes open at the side,
the trimming running impertinently up quite to
the corsage. But they are worn long aud very
full" Ball dresses, it is decrced, have double
skirts and be made of the lightest material, as
tue, Grape, figured gauzc or tarleton Ball sleeves
are made short, and are sometimes covered with
loose hanging sleeve called the odalisque.-
Towers ore profuscly provided for evening toilet.
For outer garments, the following appear to be
decided upon :-morning toilet, bournous Of light
wool, trimmed visiting toilet, pelisse of velvet,
black or green in the matter of mantilas there
is much novelty many are made of rich Pusher
lace, with pointed shoulder pieces, from which
depend double founces deep enough to almost cov-
er the whole figure In other varieties Of dress
there is said to be tile novelty.

War in Europe.

Victor Emanuel. the King of Sardinia is the
best sovereign in Europe. Ills is the only con't-
tutional kingly government on the Continent, anu
the people unler his care seem duly aware Of his
worth and confident in his patriotism At one
time it was stated that the question o! war in Eu-
rope turned on the loan he sought of e2 2OOO,OOO,
to support its expenditures. He fniled in Paris to
obtain the loan; but he appealed to his people.
and forthwith the necessary amount is subscribed.
The causes Of war are abundant with an Italian
Prince, and Victor Emanuel has the power Of ma
king it. 1t was said in the House Of Lords, in
England, that it was in the power of one man to
determine whether it should exist-mcaning the
Emperor Napoleon III. Bat Napoleon has trans
ferred this power to Victor Emanuel. In his let
ter TO Sir FraHcis Head, We think, he says that
he has only bound himself to assist the Sardini
ans against Austria This is likely to be quite
encouragement enough for Sardinia. \ general
who conuot get up war which he desires, and
assert and prove himself to be the party aggressed
upon, is vastly deficient in strategy. Victor E.
manuel has been desiring and preparing for war
with Austria for years. Il is now in his power to
make it, with France to support him, against the
old oppressor of Italy. Has he not cause? We
think Signor Brofferio, in the debate in the Cham
Der of Deputies, mas correctly stated the matter.
Signor BrofEero made short and snowy speech.
lie declared IL lule 10 investigate Wneluer AusiTil
provoked Piedmont, or Piedmont Austria
"Do you kr "" said he, "who are, and where
are the provok,rs? The prOvocation for US is
that two headed eagle which stands on the Aus
trian banner; the provocation for Austria is in
three colors that illuminate ours. The provoca-
ton of Austria is in the laws and measures with
which she presses upon the Italians; the provoca.
ton of Piedmont consists in our free institutions,
our free press, our free rostrum. Let it be said,
then that Austria continually provokes us, that
we continually provoke Austria, and that this
mutual provocation will endure, infinite and i'm
mense, until the great question be solved either
by the triumph of right or at the point of the
sword"
We think that here is cause enough for war,
to last so long it be necessary to rid Italy of
Austria How did Austria get her provinces in
Italy? By force of arms. May she not, then,
be elected by the same means? And what princi-
pie Of duty will forbid the leading sovereign Of
Italy, if he thinks lie has the power, from boldly
striving to drive the military despotism of Austria
out of his country? All the King OF Sardinia has
wanted, is the support Of another European ma
ton, powerful enough to va"qpish Austria. This
he has in France. We arc satisfied that nothing
can prevent war in Europe but Napoleon drawing
back from his present position with Sardinia. II
he keep it, the King of Sardinia will do the rest,
and war is inevitable.
The above was written before the arrival Of the
latest news, and is fully con6rmed thereby
