A WOMAN OF GooD AsTE.-'Ihe folow-
ing very happy and equally true sketch is
from the London Quarterly Review:
You see this lady turning q cold eye to
the assurance! CT shopmen and the recon-.
mendation of milllners. She cares not
how original n pattern may be, if it be ug-
ly, Or how recent shape, If it be aNk
ward. Whatever laws fashion dictates, she
follows \ law of her own, and is never be
hind it. She wears very beautiful things
which people generally suppose to be
fetched from Paris, or at least, nude by 4
French miIlner, but which rs often are
bought at the nearest town and made up
by her own maid. Not that her costume
i either rich or new on the contrary she
wears many cheap dress, but it IS al
ways pretty, and many an old one but it
is always good. She deals in no gaudy
confusion Of cOlors, nor does she affect n
studied sobriety but She either retreshcs
you with a spirited contrast, or compOseS
you with .judicious harmony. Not II
scrap Of tnsel or Uumpery appears upon
her. She puts no faith in velye! bands, or
gilt buttons, or twisted cOrdng. She Is
quite aware. however, Ihat the garnsh Is
as important as the dress al her inner
borders and headings are delicate and
fresh; and should anything peep out
which is not intended to be seen, it is
quite As much so as that which is. After
all, there is no great art either in her
fashions or her materials. The secret
simply consists in her knowing the three
grand unities of dress-her own station,
her own age, aud hei own points. And
no woman can dress well who does not,
After this we need not say that whoever
is attracted 10y he costume will not be
disappointed in the wearer. She may not
be handsome nor accomplished but we
will answer 'or her being even tempered
well informed, thoroughly sensible, and a
complete lady"

BRING IN 40 MORE REPORTS. The New
York Erprc,S, in an article on the official
reports of the battle Of Bull Run, remarks
The more we hear of the conduct Of
some Of our officers and men at Bull Run,
the more We are inclined to let the cur
tain drop on the whole affair, fnd cry out
with the Thare of Cawder, Bring in no
more reports"
With disclosures of this discreditabie
character crowding upon US, we think the
reader will sympathise with the wish we
have always expressed, that Bull Run
should drop as soon as possible into obIiv-
ion. The country has heard enough of it.

ted that the fourth section Of the recent
act Of Congress "to increase the present
military establishment" provides that the
drum major, or leader Of the band, shall
receive he pay and emoluments Of a sec,
ond lieutenant of infantry. The pay Of
this non commissioned officer is thus rais-
ed to an aggregate Of Sl03 80 per month,
while the sergeant maiorthe highest nom

4 Procession OF STARVING WoHEN.-A
large number of hungry women with ba-
bies in their arms, misled by erroneous
announcements in several newspapers,
gathered on Monday in front of the branch
office of the Union Defense Committee.
That Office not having been re-opened, the
half tamiShed creatures marched two by
two, to the City Hall in search OF the May,
or, who was not there. Tired with their long
walk and ravenous for food, they became
wild with disappointment, on learning that
the Mayor was not in. One of them tkr-
eatned to drown herself and child.
Another said. she was willing o starve,
but her baby should have food even if She
stole it. A third stated, that she never
would have allowed her son to enlist lin
the Mozart Hall Regiment, if he had not
promised that his mother would receive
two dollars week from the city. These
frantic expressions of grief and rage were
at last silenced by one of the Mayors
clerks, who directed the poor women to
the rooms Of the Union Defence Commit
tee, on Pine Street Thither they went,
and rushed into the apartment, crying,
out 1--WE are Sta"yin e, we want money!
Finally, finding that their implorations
availed nothing, they one after another

Fighting for the Union.

1t is TO be hoped that in these times of
excitement no Catholic will so far lose his
reasoning powers, as to suppose that orr
glorious institutions can be preserved and
transmitted to posteriy 10y fighting among
ourselves II communities cannot govern
themselves, the experiment Of self govern
mint has already failed The interests of
commerce, the frenzy of party feeling, or
something of the kind may remain to night
for: but not our free institutions. Some
speak of seeing whether our federal govern
ment is strong enough to protect itself in the
present exgencv. Why it was never made
TO protect itself by strength, but to have its
binding force as the Declaration Of indie
pendence has it, from the consent of the
governed" If the people of New York
consent they are bound by it. If the peo-
pie of South Carolina do not consent to
obey it, they are free from its CONTROL
There can be no foreign people to remain in
the Union, unless 10y actual abandonment
of the principles for which you pretend to
fight.
We have said thus much to set forth what
is in our ew-the logical view of fighting
for the Union" AS to the policy to be pur'
sued, we have nothing to say. We seem to
be cut adrft even from the traditions of our
own little past The world is all before us

Answered..

"Shal the government be sustained, or
shall it not?" is the enquiry OF the Petaluma
4rgus and every other Black Republican
sheet in the State Thus presented abstract
" and without explanation, there can be
but one reply: The government must be
sustained. But the inquiry is pregnant of
false suggestion. Must We sustain the adj
ADMINISTRATION of Mr. Lincoln in course Of
policy which we feel and know to be de
strdclive of the ends for which it was adopt
ed. Must we support a Black Republican
Administration-th the Republicans mean
by '',he governmelt'--in system of mea
snres which can result in nothing but dies
truction and ruin to the whole country
Must we sustain an Administration in acts
which are unconstitutional, outrageous and
volatiye of the rights of a portion at le' st,
of our people? In a contest with foreign
nations we have a right TO question The
policy Of the government. Burke did it in
the House of Commons, and Pitt did ii in
the House of Lords, wi en- England attempt
ell to snhjugate the Colonies. Certainly,
the people of this country ar. not less free
than were the people of England under and
during the reign of George the Third. We
have right to say to Mr. Linron-and
whether we have or not, we intend to assume
it-your course Of public policy, fixed by
your friends at Chicago AID acqniesced in
and adopted by you since your election 10
the Chief Magstracy as well as before, will,
if carried out. involve the country in ruin.
Your declaration and your acts, now that
you, unfortunately hold the reigns Of power,
in this government. are of Il character %
distract, dissolve, disrupt and demolish The
Union. The people of California are for
the Union. and will not, therefore, support
Mr.. Lnron's Administration -and that is
what as we have said above, the Republicans
mean by "the government"
