Learn to win a lady's faith,
Nobly, as the thing is high
Bravely, as in fronting death
With virtusus gravity.

Point her to the starry skies

Pure from courtship's batteries.

Late Fashion.

A New Orleans exchange paper says
that Napoleon III is, IS nearly as posi-.
BILE, aping Napoleon l in everything. The
last wrinkle, in the imitation way, is the
adoption of the half.naked, and no.necked
drapery style of semi.nudity Of costume by
the ladies Of the imperial court. Eugene
favored the plan because she was getting
obese and looked bunchy with high neck
ed dresses, besides having fine shoulders
and bust and she took tho lead in inau.
guratlng the fashion by coming out in q
dress which Lad no sleeves, the upper
edge Of the waist passing under the arms
and so across back and breast. Thus ve-
~ little material is wasted in needless su-
perauity of covering for the upper part Of
the person. This style is calculated to
prove an advantage in one contingency.
for if Austria should be too much for
France, and the invaders should reach
Paris, the patriotic and despairing ladies
of the empire scorning to survive its fall,
would not find it necessary Ito bare their
bosoms to the weapons of the enemy"
their mllIners having saved them the
trouble. We remark that this fashion,
though not in its extreme, has already
travelled across the water to Georgia. In
such weather it looks cool, decidedly
cool" -4ugusta Dispatch.

remains for rs to make that harmony sig.

fest any indifference or lukewarrness in

anything, they are certainly worth an
earnest organized effort in their behalf
If our candidates have any claims upon
the Democracy, we cannot cancel them At
any less cost than BY persistent endeavor
to- secure them not only the full strength
Of the party, but also the support Of the
thousands who have unwisely confded in
Republican professions, and now find
themselves outraged and betrayed. This
done, We may await with confidence the
result.

planning his position on the subject of the
Presidency, aud Of which they have per
mitted copy to be taken for publication
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 20, 1859.
Ny DEAR SlR:-I have received your
letter inquiring whether my friends are a.
liberty to present my name TO the Char
lesion Convention for the Presidential
nomination. Before this question can be
finally determined, it will be necessary to
understand distinctly upon what issues the
canvass is to be conducted.
If, as | have full faith that they will, the
Democratic party shall determine in the
Presidential election Of 1860, to adhere to
the principles embodied in the compro-
mise measures Of 1850, and ratified BY
the people in the Presidential election Of
1852, and re.afhrmed in the Kansas Ne.
braska act Of 1854, aid incorporated into
the Cincinnati platform in 1856, as ex-
pounded by Mr.. Buchanan in his letter &C
cepting the nomination, and approved by
the people in his election, in that event
my friends will be at liberty to present
my name to the convention if they see
proper to do SO. If on the contrary, it
shall become the policy of the Democratic
party, which ! cannot anticipate, to repu:
date their time honored principles on
which we have achieved SO many patriotic
triumphs, and in lieu of them the convea.
ton shall interpolate into tho creed Of the
party such new issues as the revival of
the African slave trade or . Congression-
al slave code for the territories, or the
doctrine that the Constitution of the Unit.
ed States either establishes or prohibits
slavery in the territories beyond the pow
er Of the people, legally to control it as
other property, it is due to candor to say
that in such an event could not accept
the nomination, il il was rendered to me.
Trusting that this answer will be DEEM
ed sufficiently explicit, l am very respect
fully your friend,

Minister to France-Acqusiti Of
Cuba.

Washington June Ex-senator Slidell
has been appointed Minister 10 France,
and has accepted the mission. 1t has
been understood, for year or two past,
that Mr.. Slidell could At any time have
this post, if he would accept it. 1t can
not be said that the post is taken as ref
uge after political defeat, for Mr.. Slidell
was strongly and completely sustained in
his political course by the Democratic
State Convention recently held in LOUISE
ana,
Now for Cuba. Mr.. Slldell is the head
and front Of the project for the acquisition
Of Cuba. The author and advocate of the
thirty million Cuba bill, he carries his di.
plomacy in his hand, openly end without
disguise. The bill of which he took the
charge, and for which he had the show of
q majority in the Senate, must now be left
to some other equally Jealous and adroit
friend of the cause. Mr.. Slidell had give n
notice that he would call it up at the com.
mencement Of the next session, and it was
not doubted that he would carry It through
the Senate.
Provided with ample funds, he and our
able Minister at Madrid may, with the co.
operation Of the Jews, who control the
power of Spain, and will, before long, if
the war continues, have half of Europe
under mortgage, may be enabled to nego.
tiste treaty for the cession of Cuba to
the United States before the expiration of
the next Congress. By the time when
Spain will be persuaded to part with this
jewel. our people will probably be dispos.
ed to receive it.
1t is not probable that there will be any
change Of Ministers to England, unless
Mr.. Dallas should request leave to retire.

SAINT JAMES, June 20, 1859.
F. N. ZlEBAcH, Esa.-DEAR SIR:
was hurried away from Sioux City, or
my way here, before l had time to call o.
your sanctum.
81. James is still extant. 1t don't pre-.
tend-like some Of its neighbors-to b.
- great commercial msrt"-but it pro-
poses to grow up, by a steady and legi
innate growth. into . very respectable
town. Our settlers have found such ready
sale for their produce this Spring that
there is considerable money 10 the coun.
try. All are in fine spirits, and we begin
to think that Notwithstanding the bard
times of the past eighteen months-this
may be "a great country yet.
The Pixies Peak fever ragged pretty
extensively here las. winter, but most OF
the fortune hunters are with US ag ain, to
seek their gold in q more sure ana legiti
mate way and those who have not return.
ed have their places more than supplied
by the Spring emigration. In fact, there
are more people here, and in our vallies,
than ever there we're before, and they all
have more faith in the country than ever.
From my window can see scores Of beau.
tiful farms spreading away, up over val
lies, for miles on every side. What this
country may be in speculation, time alone
can show; but what it is for bomes-for
splendid farms-for comfort and for beau
ty, has been already demonstrated.
The times have only hurt the towns
and corner lots have never ragged high
here as they have further down the river.
Blessed are they who don't expect much,
for they shall not be disappointed.
We could not afford to build great
town here without any assistance from the
country, and before its resources we're be.
ginning 10 develop themselves-butw we now
propose to 20 ahead, in order that our
country may not be ashamed of Us. Be.
sides St. James is the seat Of justice of
q county whose natural advantages are
second to none in the territory. Taxes are
now being levied, and We are arranging
our county business upon substantial
footing, and preparing the way for .
healthy and successful future.
l have removed my Office to room No.
2, in orr new Court House, so that be.
gin to feel quite aristocrstic. Call and see
me at my rapche. We will offer you the
" freedom of our city"-snd more than
that, we'll give you . musquitoe bar to
sleep under, and feed you on spring
chickens and corn dodgers, until your un.
der jaw gives outs

Our friend Hon. G. Il. WHITING, of

Senator from this District. We do not
