Panic In tne seeeaea states.

Late information, upon which we can
rely, authorizes us to state that general
panic has taken place in the seeded States
since Monday last The preparations Of
the Federal Government to seize certain
important posts on the Southern coast, and
the unprotected character Of that coast, are
among the chief reasons for this rapidly
increasing feeling.
Davis and the confederated traitors bay-
ing failed in their absurd demonstration.
upon. Washington, (which was, in fact,
never real, are now losing the confidence
of the troops gathered between Richmond
and the Federal capital, and are daily at

Madame George sand, the Novelist.

u
A lively Paris correspondent gives an
account of the domestic life of Madame
George Sand, at her chateau called mo
hant,n which stands on the banks Of the
Indre, and is elegant and comfortable
richly supplied with treasures of art. The
ChatelaIne possesses a fine boat called the
AIayeux, in which she often treats her
guests to sail on the river, herself man
aging the skiff with the dexterity of an ex-
perienced sailor. The Madame rises regu-
larly at o'clock P. NJ, breakfasts upon
cup of coffee, without milk or sugar, and
eats nothing. Alter drinking her coffee,
she Immediately deseends TO the garden
and sets briskly TO work, planting, sodding,
wedding, &c. She is passionately fond Ut
flowers, and possesses many very rare floral
treasures. She has pet AMERICAN deer,
called HMasaais,n (which is-sCarceiy ever
out of her sight. To complete her men-
agerie, Madame Sand keeps a number Of
small tortoises, one of which is usually to
be seen crawling upon her desk. The
charge of smoking so often brought against
Madame Sand is perfectly true. She is no
sooner up than she lights cigarette, and
she continues to smoke for hours together.
At dinner. which is served up at the
chateau punctually at o'clock, tile host
ess makes her appearance dressed with
extreme care, wearing prsfusiOn of ma
tnrAI flowers, gracefully arranged in her
hair. One of her singularities is decking
herself with false jewelry-though she has
an abundance of reAl-preteuding that
Zone looks as well as the other Madame
Sand observes an almost Spartan temper
ance, eats little and drinks pure water: ex-
cept uuon great occasions, when she tnkeS
a glass Of Spanish wine at desert. After
dinner, when the company assemblies in
the drawing-room, she plays q game or
two Of dominoes; then somebody is invited
to read aloud, aud she works, meanwhile,
at her embroidery frame. Afterward there
is music, she herself being an accomplished
pianist and talented composer as we'll.
At IL o'clock Madame Sand retires to her
study and commences writing, never mov-
ing from her desk until G o'clock in the
when she goes to bed. She
writes with wonderful facility and rnpidity;
her ''copy" (which the initiated will un-
derstand to mean manuscript is very leg
ible and without ensures or alterations,
as she corrects only when first "proof"
is placed in her hands. Her novels are
to herself until the characters are
fully brought forward, and then she begins
another. One of tue amusements ut No
hnnt is amateur theatricals. No written
pieces are performed, but plot isStranged
in the morning, the parts assigned, and
then each character is expected to invent
his own role.

Says tile Washington correspondent of

Says the Washington correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Inquirer:
The good spirits help the man who is
obliged TO ask even the slightest courtesy
from some of our new-hedged military Of
ficers who have lately fallen into such good
fortune as to be the possessor of q little
brief authority. The impudent and silly
replies Of these soldier-clad civilians OPP
crates upon mac something in the man
ner of trepanning Of the brain is repre-
sented to act upon ones 'sconstitutiou. The
style in which some of these upstairs
founder about in a little pool Of glory Of
their own creation, is too ridiculous to
laugh at. Men who are known, root and
branch, at their own homes, TO be gentle-
men in every sense of that term. are treat
ed with the greatest indignity where these
fellows hold office, and youth and gray
hairs meet with similar reception.
Men who are acquainted with military
life, who have been tutored in military
academies, and have seen service upon the
battlefield, are almost always distinguish
ed for their easy and affable style, used rs
they are, to command those who are around
them but in the case of some of those
who wear the slloulder-bands and buttons
tor the first time, they have put far from
them even the common courtesies of life,
and reduce themselves 10 the level of cow
ards and tyrants. Such conduct also has
its proper effect upoR the soldiers OF their
and IL is no wonder that insub-
ordination and mutiny is often the result.
These remarks are highly pertinent, and
might be made very general in their Hppli-
cation.

Japanese Hotel.

A recent trayeller;iu.Inpan thus speaks
of the Accommodations of a japanese Hotel.
The picture is charming one:
A chair was brought for me to sit in Eu-
ropean style; and the japanese landlady, n
middle aged, black toOthed persOnage of
comely looks and polite manners, made
her appearance. Her husband soon join
ed our party, and both combined their en-
deavors to ascertain our wants, and meet
our requirements. She was soon followed
by three young waiting damsals, wearing
their natural set of glitteriug white teeth,
with their native ruddy complexion exhan
ced by a little artificial addition OF pearl
dust and rouge, aud their lips stained with
a dark purple crimson. The young wait
ing girls are always selected as the most
beautiful and prepossessing of their sex,
aud conducted themselves with SIMPLE,
artless modesty. In all parts these public
hotels are served by the most handsome
girls; and was informed that they are
Well-conducted class, and that the Japan
ese law rigidly protects them while filling
such a capacity in these houses Of retire
ment.
On this occasion the landlsdy and her
native damsels oyerburdened me with
their attention, placing my chair in the
most convenient spot, rearrangiug my
travelling coYerlets, wipiug my shoes,
placing cushion on my seat, and antici-
pating every want. Cakes, soup, rice,
and sweetmeats were brought in sueees-
sion. One lauging, bright-eyed damsel
approached me kneeling, with cup oftea
in her hand; another held some sugar,
kueeling on the opposite side; while a
third, from her lowly posture on the
ground, held to my lips a boiled egg al
ready broken and peeled, with the spoon
containing the inviting morsel, duly seas
oned with salt. With garrulous viyacity
tEey anticipated every look, and when my
wants were supplied they remained by my
side, and vieing in their endeayors to he
the first to bring me their native dainties.
They afterwards examined my dressi and
every portion of my equipment formed the
subject of exciting comment and humor-
GUS wonder. European shoes, stockings,
wooden cloth, and umbrella were eagerly
examined, aud afforded matter for renewed
curiosity and mirth.

anew Kind orDress Goods.

a pleasant Paris letter in the Courier
des Etats Unis tells this story:
IA paper manufacturer has just invent
ed kind of impermeahle paper suitable
for dress goods. Its manner of employ
mentis both simple and ingenious. Itcon-
sists in replacing by small frames the
hoops upon which are ballooned the petit
coats Of our ladies'. These new tangled
engines arc covered with packing canvass,
upon which you have only to glue, as on n
common screen, the newly invented paper.
"Thanks to this invention, when lady
wants "a new dress, her husband has no
longer to distress himself with the dis
bursement of Eve or six hundred francs
for twenty yards of velvet or thirty of
moirc antique; all he will have to do will
be to buy five or six rolls of twelve sous
paper and send for the glue man, This is
as simple as all grand ideas.
'sThe father about to marry his daugh-
ter, will not be obliged Il long time before
hand to bother himself about her trous-

wife on the day before the wedding:-
