/ Two States South Carolina and Florida,
are vet to adopt the new contribution
There is little need Of conjecture as to the
part they will take In ratiiying and en-
dorsing the action Of their brethren. The
Convention Of South Carolina is now in
session. and that Of Florida meets In few
DAYS, and in a week or two, therefore, the
final action Of the confederacy will be
perfected in regard to this important
matter.
l. is asserted that a majority OF the
Cabinet are in favor of calling nm extra
session Of Congress, and That \ Procloma'
tion will soon be issued to this effect, al
lowing the legal time Of sixty days to in
teryene between the date Of the procia-
nation and the assembling of Congress.
The commercial interest of the country
seem TO demand this, in consequence of
the conflicting interests growing out of
the two tariffs now before the country.
There was quite flare up at the White
House on Saturday last, between the
President, Senator Baker of Oregon, and
California delegation.
1t appears that The President has solic.
tied the counsel of the Senator from
Oregon, in reference to the California ap-
pointments, to which they protest, and
so informed the President, in language
not very respectful to either party.

Fashions for August.

During the annals of the mode there wa,
never known such an anarchy as that which
exists at the present moment, There is moth
ing decided, nothing positive. Like the
whereabouts Of the different members of tht
beau monde, through the capriccs of the
weather, it is uncertain, and almost matter
of chance. Every thing is worn according
to the whim or idea of each individual; anc
SO generals the deviation from all regulation,
as to fashion that no one appears ridiculous
or even remarkable.
The taste Of. the day seems to be one of
complete negligence, affected at least, for il
the details the leaders of the mode are Il,
interruptions as ever. The free and easy all
which many elegant ladies have assumed fdl
some time past in their customs has impaired
to their toiletsa tendency altogether mascu
line. We should not be surprised one day to SEE
them booted and spurred, for already the
paletOts, the head dresses, the leather gait
ers, the riding habits, and the clacking of tht
whips in their promenades-a- -cheval denote
the increasing nature of this tendency.

ply to it, as | was not 'the chairman of the

been addressed to the Hon. H. Il. Smith,
OF Stark county. read the resolutions be-
fore the convention at his request, and this
act probably led you into the error of sup
posing that Twas the chairman. Unless,
therefore, you specially desire reply from

tanning all that was mortal of Elizabeth Bar

forget the solemn scene, made doubly i'm.
pressive by the grief of the hu sband and

clergyman. Sinlesv in lite, her death, then,
was without sting; and turning our thoughts
inwardly, we murmured her prayers for the

But the tears would fall, as they bore her
up the hill, and lowered ''Hs beloved" into
her resting place, the grave. The sun itself
was sinking to rest behind the Western hills,
and sent farewell smile Of love into the
East, that II might glance on the lowering
bier. The distant mountains hid their faces
in misty vail, and the tall cypress trees Of
the cemetery swayed and sighed as Nature
special mourners for her favored child; anc
there they are to stand keeping watch ovel
