The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Court Journal sets at rest the ques ton
of the Empress renouncng hoops. He says:
tWe can therefore affirm, upon our con-
science and honor, that whatever may have
been said with regard to the abandonment
of crinoline by the august and gracious lady,
the absence OF whatever portion may have
been cast aside was not perceived; indeed,
we should almost say that it must have added
to the expansion of the pesticoat BY the fa-
clity thus afforded for the more easy expan.
sion of tha. which remained. Nothing could
be more graceful and more dignifed than the
flow and fall Of her Majesty's garments; but,
at the same time, who can say that any fall.
ing off is there? As the beautiful and gra.
cious lady took her seat upon the throne she
fills so we'll, the uniform, the sword, nay
one-half of the very person Of tho Emperor
became lost TO view-imbedded, az it were
in the beautiful and gittering mass beneatt
which it disappeared, leaving not even ths
thin and indistinct outline under the velve
Of the Imperial robe to show that it still OK
isted."

gTThe firm attitude taken by the Balti-

plotters against the perpetuity of the Union,
the spirit which it reports as prevailing
among the people OF Maryland with refer
ence to such schemes, and the determination
that the elect Ut the nation shall rule, be be
Democrat or Republican, draw strong con-
frmation from the act of Gov. Hicks in
sending his official congratulations to Speak

During the present year there have been
about 100 names, in the aggregate, added to
the various churches of this place. We learn
that there have been about $50 conversions
at Indianola. The interest in that place has,
we suppose, surpassed that Of any previous
year. Among those brought into tho church
are many OF the leading citizens and business
men.
We learn from Rev. w. r. Cowles, p. e.
of the Oskaloosa District, that there have
been about 500 additions to the M. e. Church
within the circle OF his charge during the
present winter The work has been distrib-
ufed about 40 follows: Eddyvills and vicin-

ca The proposition of Senator Douglas
to enact a Sedition law, as thorough and
effective as that which conferred and endu
ring odum upon the Federal party, for the
benefit OF the Pro- Slavery Democracy, is not
met cordially by the Douglas press. The
Douglas editors fight shy Of it. They wish
it had never been made. They dare not de.
fend il, and from apparent indications il
would appear that they cannot be made to
connect themselves with it. Douglas has
'sput his foot in it," Such a proposition
cannot be carried thr ough the House, even
II il should pass the Senate; and while II
will be defeated, Douglas must bear the
odium Of its origin throughout oil his future
career.
