How DO You LIKE Ir?-It being announced
that the Partisan ladies have adopted the style
of dress of the first Napoleon, the editor of the
Boston Post has hunted up description of it,
which is as follows. How do you like it, ladies +?
The dress was loose muslin robe, drawn up
and festooned at the right knee, so as to show
the whole of the leg. The robe passed under
the left breast, which was left entirely naked,
and was fastened above the left hip. Both arms
were naked from the shoulder; their length was
relieved only by two bracelets. The effect of
this dress shall not attempt to describe, but
the gentlemen all allowed that it was fascinating
in the extreme. The ladies have dispensed en-
tirely with the chemise. as the folds of it, they
say, prevent their elegant shape from being
seen and the taffeta robes they wear are suited
to display every grace in the most striking man
ner.

Speech of Douglas on the Harper's Ferry
Amir,

The Unions overland news is from st. Louis
to P. NJ. Jan. oath. The despatch says that
on the day previous" there was great excitement
to hear Douglas speak on his resolution. The
galleries were filled, and there was much noise.
Douglas read. the late correspondence be-
tween Gov. Wise and the President in which
the latter replies that he finds no power under
the Constitution to take action to protect one
State against invasion from another. His OBJ
ject now was TO inquire whether there was not
power, and whether it was not the duty of Con-
gress to take action in the premises. Unless
Congress afford the protection, where is it to
come from? The States had relinquished the
right of armament under the expectation of
Federal protection. Deny this, and the people
of the States will demand that the cords be sew
cred, and that the weapons be restored to their
hands for protection. The perpetuity of the
Union was involved in the question. He could
demonstrate that there was no wrong for which
the Constitution had not provided remedy
He read the fourth article Of the Constitution to
show that it garanteed to every State Repub-
lican Government and protection against inva-
sion."
The speech urged the passage of law by
Congress making it penitentiary offense for any
one to interfere with the relation of master and
slave-in plain words, to steal slaves. Clearly
such law is demanded. The Constitution
makes it the duty of the General Government
to defend the States from hostile INVASION
Hence the fact that the States have no standing
armies. If, however, the General Government
does not defend States from Abolition raids, she
fails to perform her greatest duty, and may as
we'll cease to exist. If each State must s.stain
a regular army to defend herself, then there is
no use in Union Of the several States for mu-
tual defense.

baF The Rev. Mr.. A. s. Finch publishes a
card, says the New York Ne,rs, in which he says
that while attending the Brockport Camp Meet
ing, woman, small in stature wearing specs,
and prepossessing in appearance, appeared, pur-
sued him in carriage, and told him of her es-
TEEN, and how much she was worth, and induced
him to marry He consented, the knot was tied,
and she. having accomplished his ruin, forsook
him, probably to find another victim. Mr.. Finch
says she served two other men in the same way
before; one in Canada and the other in Wis
consn; the latter is in a destitute condition. He
gives warning, that she may not infict similar
outrages again.

DANcING.-An Ohio editor gives his views of
several dances which he witnessed at a ball in
Washington, thus:
The want of variety in this metropolitan
dancing, was, however, fully made up by the
fancy things, such as the waltz and the polka.
Those absolutely barbarous. The old
fashioned waltz, the morality of which even
Byron called in question, is here ignored as al
together too cold and distant. The lady here
lays her head on the gentleman's bosom, puts
one hand in his, and the other in his coat tail
pocket, and resigns herself to his embraces, and
goes to sleep, all but her feet, which, when not
carried by him clear off the floor, go patting
around on her toes. The gentleman thus en-
twined throws his head back and his eyes up
like dying calf; his body bent in the shape of
figure 4, he whirls, backs up, swings around,
swoons to all appearances, pushes forward and
leaves the ring to the delight of all decent peo-

County Seat QuestiOn.

As will be remembered, the Board of Super
visors advertised for sealed proposals for sup
plying the county with suitable rooms for of
fees for the various county officers.
In response to this advertisement Mat. Luny,
Esq, OF Horsetown, sent in proposition, offer
ing to furnish the county, for the purposes and
uses enumerated in the advertisement of the
Board, a fire-p proof brick building, free ofcharge,
for the term OF three years. He claims lin card
published in last weeks Courier that the coun-
ty seat of Shasta county has never been fixed BY
law, and that hence the Board is bound to con-
slider bid from Horsetown on an equal footing
with one from Shasta
According to this argument-eyen admitting
that the county seat has never been declared by
lava bid, more favorable than that from
Horsctown, would have to be accepted, even if
it came from Roaring River, McCumbers MILL
or any other remote locality of the county The
absurdity of the argument will at once be ap-
parent
The gentlemen engaged in the effort to remove
the county seat of Shasta county from this town,
are more likely to be struck by lightning than
TO succeed, while the county remains undivided
OF course we have no reason to find fault with
them because of these efforts. If placed in their
positions it is possible that we would do pre-
cisey as they are doing. However, gentlemen,
when you find our county officials moving bag
and baggage to Horsetown, prepare to catch
larks, for the heavens will shortly thereafter fall
to the earth.
In this connection may observe that the
Board neglected to provide an office for County
Recorder. Asthat officer has in his possession
the most valuable records of the county, it would
naturally strike thinking man that he of all
county officials, should be furnished with
good and secure Office:
