Cen. Walker Shot.

We have from Honduras, by way of Havana,
the intelligence that Gen. Walker with his
principal officer had been shot. No one can
hesitate to say that his fate was just. He had
braved it over and over again, and would have
been the last, we presume, to complain Of it,
When he made private aud therefore pirat-
ical war upon foreign State, he deliberately
took all the chances of such war. He knew
perfectly the penalties of failure, and under.
stood thoroughly the public necessities which
would compel their enforcement. His name
had become a. terror to all the States q. Gen.
trail America. Their Governments, with rea-
son. regarded him as their enemy, and found
their only security against renewal of his at
lacks in his death. a
Yet there are thousands in this country who
will hear Of his death with regret,-as that Of
a man who had qualities and capacities enti-
Ting him to better fate. Throughout his ca
reer he has shown a degree steady courage,
Of unflnching tensciiy of purpose, under the
most disheartening reverses, which'would have
earned for him a high position, if they had
been used in suboFdination to law and in har.
inory with the public good. He was man Of
education, of amiable temper, with not the
least apparent predsposition to deeds of vic.
lence aud bloodshed. But, from the date o.
his first raid upon Nos,hern Mexico, the pas
sion for conquering and civiliziDg some new
region of the earth seized and subdued hin
like a mania. He had neither suitable mer
nor sufficient means for such an undertaking.
| Walker owes his fate to the ineficiency o
our Government in enforcing our laws.
Southern iuries had done their duty, aud pun
ished his violations Of international law and o
our own statutes, he could never have renewed
the career which has had so disastrous an end
We are not surprised that the Administration
at Washington should have rejoiced at TIL
news Of his capture and prospective execution
Those who through fear wiDked at crime
which they dared not indorse, would naturall,
welcome relief from their embarrassment, a
whatever cost, to the victim Of their imbecili

Senator Seward made to-day the great

FALL FAsHIoNs.-The fall season of 1860
opens with eclat, SO far as the family OF milIi-
ners and modistes are concerned. The advent
OF large bonnets was noteworthy incident of
last spring. The bOnnets displayed by the
mllliners as The rage of the present season are
bigger than ever. A pretty face looks pretty
IN anything, but 10 our view The b0nnets just
produced by the milliners as the fall fashion
are hldeously ugly. AS the number of ordinary
faces predomnate over those that are beauti-
full, we therefore expect decided diminulion
in the splendor OF the ladies who grace the
promenade. aa.f..
We examined the offerings of fashionable
milliner Thursday afternoon, and cannot do
otherwise than marvel at the multiplicity OF
designs gotten up in Paris, and thence dissem-
mated over the rest of ths world. Very hal, Id.
some bonnets for the deini saiSon consist of fine
white Belgian straw, ornamented With vel.
vet scarf, fastened with Jewels or small gold
headed pins, and trimmed with fine blonde
The strings are frequently accompanied by
wide blonde braids. Bright colors, such as
Magenta, or black. are very popular, and also
black straw and hair, mixed or trimmed with
gold. A new and very prstty dark gray straw
will doubtless become favorite. Upon the
edge Of the braid is slight admixture Of black
Velvet, with fine gold thread, which has 9
very good effect. Trimming laces, especially
blondes, have greatly improved upon former
styles. They now come IN small stripped OF
set patterns, nearly covering the ground, and
can be worked up in very graceful and artis
tic manner. &
Take them all together. and the milliner't
fashions FOE the fall of 80 are rather stunning
than pretty--rather outre than harmonious
