FALL FAsHToNs.-Le Follet makes sundry impor-
tant revelations as to the fashions for the late
tumn, verging toward winter. Barege and muslin
are now being put aside except for evening dress,
and are replaced by stouter materials. The redin-
cote form of dress will naugurate the season, and
can be worn either with pointed or round body.
Of course, with the latter the skirt must be set in
large plaits Fiounces will be ornaments mostly
used on silk dresses; either several narrow ones to
the knee, or one large surmounted by narrow ones,
or by trimming.
Grey, which is the favorite color admits ofbands,
either dark blue, green, violet or groselle. Paids
are more suitable to popn negliges. Green, ma
room, and penseo are shades which will have great
at the beginning of the season; little later
on, the Havanue and black will be the colors most
elegant and CONNIE a. fdUt. Trimmings are worn
en- tablier; narrow founces, ruchngs, are often
disposed in this manner; they have the effect of
making the wearer appear taller. When the skirt
is so ornamented, the body is trimmed to cores
pond. In the country dresses are worn slightly
ooped up, so as to take the skirt off the ground.
Underneath is worn a colored petticoat, either
black and white or black and grey. No staring
colors allowable. The tight sleeves, which have
been laid on one side during the summer season,
have again made their appearance, Nothing is at
present considered so thoroughly distingue as ex-
treme simplicity. Dresses, mantes, bonnets, every
thing, as I'm pretending as possible.
you've jackets slightly wadded ,are to be in vogue
for the winter. There is also tendency to wear
dresses open in front. which fashion promises to be-
come prevalent. Capes are much diminished in
circumference.

l2uo., pp 81 Rudd Il Carleton
The memory Of the unhappy poet, which has been
the prey of such bitter assailans, both during biz
troubled life and since his dea h. has here found an
earnest and able defender. She dwells, with affection
ate enthusiasm, the traits of his genius the
charms of his companionship and the magnetic personal
qualities, by which he attracted and held devoted
circle of friends. The faults and errors which threw
dark shade his reputation not explicitly called
in question: but they covered with veil Of tender
regret and every extenuatDg circumstance which tho
ingenuity of affection could suggest, is eoqsently
pleaded in their favor. The volume is written in
deprecstory rather than poemc spirit; has frequent
passages of true pathos; it shows highly cultivated
taste; but will probably produce little effect in chang
ing public opinion to the character Of its subject.

ADELA: the OoroRoos. By II. L. HOxsR limo, pp ~
Columbus: Folett Foster, Co.
In this story, which is intended as contributor to
the literature of political antisayery the condition Of
the blacks, both in bondage and freedom is contrased
with the advantages presented by the colony of Lbe
a. The plot, which is elaborated with care and nge-
uity, is founded on incidents which are too improb-
able to commend general sympathy. One OF the most
striking features of the volume is the somber view
which holds forth of the disabilities and hsrdshps OF
the negro race in tho free States. The course OF ma
tOra politics during the last ten years is freely com
mented on; eminent living statesmen are introduced os
the scene; and frequent sketches of public life In
Warrington diversity the interest of the narrative.

Read the following from the Cincinnati
Gazette Of Saturday, and in doing 50 bear IN
mind that The .hard CASE related is part
and parcel of the man-stealing and enslaYing
institution the Democracy of this country
would open all the free territories of the West
to. VIII you sid in such an accursed work
A HARD CAsR.-About six months ago a
colored man named WaggOner was carried
across the river from this city and found his
way into the Newport jail as fugitive from
labor. About the same time two men were
arrested and committed to the same jail on a
charge of kidnapping Waggoner. When
these men were brought up for trial no one
appeared against them, and they were dis
charged. Waggoner, remained in JAIL how
ever. No one claimed his service, but the
law requires that he shall prove his freedom.
This he has not done, and hence he is to be
sold on Monday to the highest bidder. If q
man commits murder, or is arrested upon a
charge of murder, the State is required to
prove him guilty; falling in which the prison
er is set at liberty; but if a negro is charged
with the crime Of being slave, he is required
TO prove that be is freeman, failing in which,
he is sold at auction and consigned to slavery
for ifel WaggOner, it appears, has worked
in this city. His parents reside in Bantam,
CleFmont county, Ohio. They have visited
him, and recognized him as their son. But
being black, their testimony is worthless
To prevent the sale, the right of Waggoner to
freedom must be established by the evidence
Of white citizens; and even then it viii re-
quire two or three hundred dollars to get him
out of the net that the avaricious officials Of
Kentucky have thrown around him. 1t is
hardly possible that the citizens of Kentucky
will countenance this impending outrage I;
but however this may be, the friends Of hu-
manity should see that Waggoner does not
lose his freedom, if two or three hundred dol
lars will save him from the auction block.

That veteran Democratic pap-suoker,
whose chest has been 50 generously distented
with Goyernment patronage in reward for
party services, but whose longing mouth Is
now entirely teatless, has the unblushing
impudence to charge " corrupt appliances Of
the public patronage" upon most of the
Democratic editors of the q. s. Northern
District of Ohio. Aud the big city pap
sucker has the execrabIe bad manners to
twit his country political brethren of the
thin consistency of their mouthfuls We
clip as follows from the Cleveland Plain
Dealer of June I'd:
LccOmptOh Editors In OhlO---HOw Made
and who Made Them.
Il was a mystery to those not in the secret
that single Democratic Editor in the State
of Ohio, where their readers and the people
generally were 90 emphaticRlly opposed TO
the Lecompton swindle," should be found
advocating that Infamous measure. They
not only advocated it but abused Douglas in
cessantly, and abused everybody who did
not abuse him. We marked these Lecomp-
ton Editors at the time, and predicted that
they were being operated upon by some cor
rupt appliances Of the public patronage
Some we knew held Post Offices, and Depu
ty Marshalships. aud some we were quite
sure were after Federal appointments.
Wherever an Editor showed symptoms OF
Lecomptonism, there we predicted the fiesh
pots of the adm istratioR were doing their
demoralizing work.
The chief man@uverer in this matter, es
pecially in this part of the State, we knew to
be Mat. johnson, the Marshal. Now see the
proof taken from the record. Among the
appointments 10 take the census we find fol-
lowing LecomptOn Editors:
Ashland-Horace 8. Knapp, Editor OF Ash
land Union.
Co. Democrat.
Harrison-C. N. Allen, Editor of Cadiz SEN
tinel.
Holmes-Jame H. Estell, Editor Holmes
Co. Farmer.
Jefferson--John Sheridan, Editor ofSteuben-
vile Union.
Knox-Lecky Harper, Editor of Mount Yer
non Banner.
Mahoning--James M. Nash, Local of Nation
al Democrat.
Sandusky-J. D. Botefur, Defunct Editor Of
Messenger.
Summit. H. Webb, Editor of Democracy.
Trumbull-Wm. Ritezel, Editor of Trumbull
Democrat,
These editorial appointments account for
the milk in the Coc0anut. They give an un
mistakable key to thessLecomptOn mystery in
Ohio. But for the census patronage there
would not have been LeeomptOnism enough
in this State for a respectable funeral. 1t
was the promises, made in profusion, of ap-
pointments supposed to be of much value in
these hard times, which did the mischief
But 1nany were called and but few chosen"
and the appointments made are so limited in
Jurisdiction, covering but a few townships
each, that the game is hardly worth hunting.
even if it could have been obtained without
sacrifice of principle and self-respect. The
record these Editors have made will be a
thorn in their flesh the balance Of their lives.
Leeompton now stinks in the nostrils of the
people, and the odor that will remain about
its advocates is growing more offensive every
day as the motives by which they were act
uated bccome known.

ANY attempt to punish the African Slave
Trade pirates under the laws of the United
States as administered by the pro-SlayeTy
Administration Of James Buchanan, is tile
merest mockeTy Of justice. Vessel after vessel
has been captured with hundreds of Slaves on

the law been executed on the offending
officers. Southern United States Courts,
under shallow pretenees, have let all the pi-

The adjourned Convention of the Charles

sbocklnr Death OF q YOuna Woman.

A correspondent of the Worcester Mass
Spy gives the particulars of a fatal accident
which occurred on Saturday afternoon, the
26th May, at the Satinet factory of G. N.
Bardwen & Co, in South Belchertown:
Henrietta Fuller, young woman employ
ed as a weaver in the factory, aged about Is
years, went to a water cask to obtain water
for washing. This cask was very near an up
right shaft and coupling box, which was re-
vOlving at rate of over hundred revolu-
tons per minute, and with which the dress Of
the unfortunate girl became entangled. With
every revolution her head struck upon the
strong iron framework which supported the
regulator, crushing her forehead, and forcing
her eyes out of their sockets, while her body
and limbs were shockingly mangled and bro
ken. The eask and the ceiling were covered
with the marks of the catastrophe, and the
body was so firmly bound to the shaft that
her steel skirts were cut with chisels before
she could be liberated.

Union N New Jersey.

In New jersey, the Newark Mercury says,
''the journals which in 1856 supported Mr..
Fillmore, are all doing efficient service in be-
half of Lincoln and Hamlin. While many Of
our people entertain the highest respect for
Messrs. Bell and Everett, they fully appreci-
ate the fact that every vote cast for them
tends to continue in power party which has
shown itself unworthy of public confidence.
The people can no longer be deceived by false
tokens, and they have already determined that
the government of the nation shall be entrust-
ed to those true representatives of a righteous
cause, who bear the standard of the Republi-
can party

A VERY PRETTY QUARREL.-The New York
Tribune states that the President and Secreta-
ry Cass are AT loggerheads concerning Geo.
Sanders famous dispatches from Charleston
to Buchanan. The question at issue is purely
a financial one Sanders, it will be recollect-
ed, sent one dispatch which cost $26.3 and a
number of others which, in the aggregate,
amounted to $8-total, S348O. The Tribune
says:
Buchanan sent the bill for Charleston tele-
grams to the State Department, regularly
signed and vOuched- needing nothing, in
fact, except to be audited and countersigned
by the venerable Secretary. But the yenera-
bic Cass was not in an Cbliging humor. To
the horror and amazement of DR.. ]. B., the
Secretary returned the bill to its sender with
this endorsement Not allowed; private
EXPENSE" and from that apparently trivial
source of mischief we are now threatened
with little less than breach in the Cabinet
of course to be followed by immediate dis
union.

GRAND CATHOLIC COUNCIL IN ROME.-Ths
Metropolitan Record, organ of Archbishop
Hughes, says:
"Our adviees from the Eternal City,
brought out by the Persia, inform US of the
conception in the capital of the Christian
world Of one of the grandest and most ele-
waited political ideas of the nineteenth cen
tury. Some members Of the Sacred College
have proposed to the Pope the subject of the
assemblsgc in Rome Of distinguished dele
gates, administrative or deputized, from ev-
cry Catholic power in the world. This body,
when organized, is to constitute a commits
sion of inquiry into the actual condition of
temporal affairs in the States of the Church,
and having collected a calm and unpreju-
diced statement on every topic, draw up
report suggesting to his Holiness what
amount Of popular reform is really required
and should be granted, as well as what pOr-
ton or portions of the demands of his sub
jects should be refused. It is said that the
suggestion has afforded much pleasure to the
mind Of the Holy Father"

Late and Important from the Gold Mines.
The Chicago Press publishes letter to p
w. Gates, of that city, from D. K Frazer,
dated Mountain City, May 18th. Mr.. Fra
zer is the partner of Mr.. Gates in heavy
Chicago manufacturing establishment and
the Press endorses him as a thoroughly honest,
reliable man-a cOol-headed Scotch mechanic
His letter confirms the most favorable ac-
counts of the richness of the new diggings,
and at the same time Mr.. F. warns adventur-
ers against coming to the mines single-handed
and without means. The rich rewards are in
the rock, and expensive machinery and time
are indispensable, We quote portions of Mr..
F's letter:
Messrs. Crouch & Blair, owners of the
Coleman Mills, inform me that their quartz
yields from $lOO to S40O per cord, and some
has paid as high as $780, but this last is in
small quantities | think this statement cor
rect They told me that if their mill would
crush quartz as fast as the mill we sold Van
De Vanter, they could soon make pile. l
called upon the present owners of the Van
De Vanter mill, and they told me they were
making at least 81, 200 per week over and
above all expenses, and working part of the
time on poor quartz. They told me this
morning that they run thirty-siI hours on
headings, which do not yield as well as the
ordinary quartz, and took out 1920. One
day, after running fifteen hours, they cleaned
up $3.50. Next run of twenty-five hours pro-
duced $4OO, and the next of twenty-four
hours, S465. This statement can be relied
upon.
They are entirely satisfied, and only want
tho other six stamps. If six-stamps can make
| 81, 200 per week, they should not run less
than twelve, as the cost of operating them
will be but a trihe more. They have been
burning some pyrites of iron, and the expert
ment will succeed, | think, as it will enable
them to crush three or four times as much
This pyrites of iron is very rich, and there
are but few leads without it.
There are other leads here which no doubt
! will pay better, perhaps more than double
those now being worked, but as they are not
| fully developed / will not make any figures
on them. Just above the mill they have dis

which has caused considerable excitement

covered every day. There is no trouble in

there are rich gulches being discovered daily.
The gold comes from the leads above. There

number of them running in few days.

Sunset Cox Speaks from his Bad Box'
The Hon. s. s. Cox seems to have forgot
ten that "actions speak louder than words,
and therefore ventures to comment through
the Ohio Statesman on the testimony Of
Gen. Wilson, admitting the important facts
but denying the inferences. He admits that
Wilson pretended to bear a message to him
from Postmaster General Brown, but claims
that he gave Wilson an eyasiye perhaps dis
courteous answer Mr.. Cox also admits that
Judge jackson, NJ g, of Georgia, his warm
friend, wanted him to see Gov. Cobb, and
said be thought Gov Cobb could convince
him that be could vote for the English bill
and justify himself and act with his party
Mr.. Cox says Ne told Jackson that be had
made up his mind to see no one connected
with the Administration, and he stoutly as
serts .7.ii
aThat no promise of any appointment for
any one, had the slightest influence on nay
vote, Is no such promise was ever made and
none sought. Long after the English bill
passed told the Preside at that my position
was such that I could neither ask for, nor
receive any favor from him. He cOncurred
in this."
The immaculate Mr.. Cox, however, does
not deny that he at first opposed the English
bin and afterwards voted for it and that Mr..
Miller who had been removed from the
Columbas Post Office by Mr.. Buchanan, was
restored to his position after Mr.. Cox had
voted for the English bill Mr., Cox, there
fore, is still in the bad box, and Gen. Wilson
holds the key, He may deny, but these acts
win continue to speak louder than words.
