Clippings and Comments.

lady has been cutting up high didoes lately, such as driving about with Chevalier Wy koff, noted libertine; keeping company with Mrs. Ja mes Gordon Bennett, another fast woman of New York, and giving " little supp Prs," in the style of Marie Antoinette The correspondent of one of the New Tor k papers opens his description in the following style:
 "The exhibition of the Republican court of America, at the Whitehouse, this even ing, was truly brilliant array of fashion, beauty and manliness."
 The mock royalty of the affair is disgust ing, and the idea of court presided over by King Ape, is rich. After tissue of adulatory and disgusting stuff, Jenkins pro- ceeds to describe the ' high old gal " in the following style:
 Soon after nine o'clock Mir. and Mrs. Lincoln took their position near the center of the East room, and began to receive the congratulations of their guests. The presl- dent wore bland and pleased expression. He greeted the guests with courteous warmth, and chatted tamiliarly with many whom he recognized as old friends. He was attired in plain suit of black Mrs. Lincoln received the company with grace ful courtesy. She was dressed in mag nifcent white satin robe, with black hounce, half yard wide, looped with black and white bows, low corsage trimmed with black lace,ss and bouquet of crape myrtle on her bosom. Her head dress was a wreath of black and white flowers, with bunch of crape myrtle on the right side Tine only ornaments were necklace, ear rings, brooch and bracelets, of pearl. The dress was simple and elegant. The half mourning style was assumed in respect to Queen Victoria, whose eldest son had so lately been guest at the presidential man sion, and whose representative was one of the most distinguished among the guests on this occason."
 When we remember she is coarse, dumpy, prowsy, little old woman, always suggesting the idea of pots and pans, and with that indescribable idea of untidiness that no extra dressing will remove, we can have some idea of the figure she cut. The half mourning in respect to Prince Albert'S death, was a miserable imitation of Euro pcan monarchs, who go in mourning on the death of one, and style each other " cousin" What disgusting spectacle of parvenus aping royalty, and shows that
 Little man,
 Dressed up ill brief authority,
 Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven,
 As would make angels weep
 While the land is drenched in blood when the smoke of burning dwellings, the groans of wounded and dying men, the wall of orphans and sobs of widows are rising to Heaven, the occupants of the White House fiddle, dance and make merry So Nero fiddled while Rome was burning. The Lincolns are but another illustration of the adgc in relation to setting beggars on horse back
 The Memphis Argus, in all article rcla- tive to currency, and the action of certain spectators in Memphis, says:
 C lie who will not take the money of this Confcderacy cannot desire to remain where 1t is the only money, and where it is considered legal tender. Let us first have his no1,e, and then let him have hi, pass port to some land where the money is more to his ukinq. He cannot be of us and should not be with us.'
 In this city, we are told there is one, if not more, who refuse to take anything but specie for goods. We arc told that a land agent in another part of the state refuses to take anything but specie for his fees and he is making at least hundred dollars a day. We hope these things are not true, but if they are we warn the parties that the game they are playing is dangerous one
 To show the hypocrisy, double dealing and false professions of the abolitionists, we give some extracts from the New York Tribune, which, now that its party is in power cries loud and long for the blood of rebels
 From the Tribune, Nov 9, 1860.
 If the cotton states shall become satisfied that they can do better out of the Union than in 1t, aCe insist on letting Mesn % ia peace. The right to secede may be revo-, lutionary one, but it exists neUertheless x x
 We must ever resist the right of any state to remain in the Union and nullify or defy the laws thereof To withdraw from the Union is quite another matter, and whenever considerable section of our Union shall deliberately ly resolve to go out, ace shall resist aU coerciue measures to keep in. We hope never to live in republic whereof one sectjon $ pinned to onother Jy bayonets.
 From the Tribune, Nov. 10, 1860.
 Ii the cotton States unitcdly and earnest ly wish to withdraw peaceably from the Union, we think they should and would be allowed to do so Any attempt Co cone- pei Mem by force % renai,a aOou1d Dc contrary to Me principles enunciatsd in Me immortal Declaration of Independence, contrary to the fundamental ideas on which human liberty is based.
 From the Tribune, Dec. IT, 1860.
 If it (the Declaration of Independence) justified the session from the British empire of three millions of colonists in 1776, ace
