Latest New York Fashions.

New YORK, October rs, 1862


The bright and bracing weather of to-
day, which fairly pOlishes the streets to
unusual cleanliness of effect, brings out
upon Broadway bright procession of
those distinguished danes and bellies who
set and lead the fashions Of the prone
made. This may be called the first
thoroughly fair day of the recognized sea-
son, and hence the displays of the mode
,particuliere are worthy the special atten-
ton of those having the cause of woman
ity's external elegance at heart.
The bonnet of the lady whose style is

tely-tinted Lyons velvet, fancifully engraf-

An Extraordinary Theory.


A foreign journal, in an article against
the punishment Of death, publishes the
following curious details: When at the
end of the last century the terrible
machine of DIR. Gullotin made its appear
ance, it gave rise to great controversy
among the faculty throughout Europe
The inventor pretended and believed that
death by this instrument was easier than
by any other means, and that the rupture
of the vertebr@, the nerves, and all the
organs of the head, killed the whole body
at once and instantaneously. Several
experiments were made at Vienna. Some
prisoners were to be executed, and several
medical men who had already disputed
the correctness of the statement of DR.
Gullotin, obtained permission to remain
on the scafOld during the execution, and
when q head was cut off it was delivered
to them. The first was that of a young
man. The eyes were closed and the
tongue prOtruded Eight minutes were
allowed to expire, when the tongue was
pricked with n pin, when it was drawn
in, and the face made a grimace, iudica-
tive of pain. The second was that of a
woman. The eyes were open, and their
supplicatiDg looks were accompanied by
many tears. Fourteen minutes after the
execution the eyes turned towards the
side from whence the wOman's name was
called. A third head was that of the
most guilty of the criminals. A slapwas
given to the face, when the eyes opened,
the face flushed with an indescribable
expression Of anger and ferOcity, and "a
shudder Of anguish was visible on the
neck being touched" .-saii

his body, aud the third across his breast,
and another man, by a capstau arrangement
winds them up, and thus raises the mule
from the ground. This, of course, .is ae-
companied with another series OF kicks
and lurches, by the aid of which a slip
moose is fastened on each leg, and the mule
when be is done the performances, finds
each foot securely fastened under curved
iron bar, and bis head chained down.
Four blacksmiths. one at each foot, 90 to
work, and the shoes are on in less time
than ittakes 70 describe it.
Few can imagine the terrific struggling
OF these mules. They plunge forward and
backward, rock sideways, lurch and kick
but this machine secures them in every di-
rectiou. If the animal rushes forward the
strap across his breast suddenly stops bis
career in mid air; If he jerks backward the
rope from the Windlass almost pulls his
head off. Rocking sideways is ouly at the
expense of his own ribs, which beat tat
too against the stout tImbers of the pen
lie cannot rear up, for his head is chained
down, and each foot being securely clamp
ed kicking is out of the question. Thus the
animals every effort is baked, and after an
ahortive trial of all the kicks and jerks
known to the community of mules, he gives
up the fruitless contest, and down on his
knees With dropping head, submits to the
four sturdy blacksmiths who are pounding
away at his hoofs.
When the work is done the clamps are
uufastened, the straps let down, the wind
lass uuWound aud the conquered mule backs
out of the pen, convinced that ropes, Ieath-
er, and human flesh.W properly applied,
can master him.

GovIxoroS, Sunday, Oct, 4. 1862.

CovrNGToN, Sunday, Oct. 4, 1862,
The great scarcity of wool, compared
with the wants of the Oonfederacy, has
been, and still continues to be, n source of
anxiety to our people. 1t is now selling
at price which almost places it beyond
the reach of poorer classes, with prospect
of still further advance as the winter ap .
proaches. In this county a substitute for
wool is now being made into a cloth by a
great many persons, with the design Of
using their wool for our soldiersiu the field.
The substitute is COW hair. The cloth
made of it is perhaps not quite so smooth
as that made of wool, but it is heavier, and
no doubt will be nearly, If not equally, as
warm, and will last fully as we'll.
The hair is washed perfectly clean, aud
pulled or beat so as to have no bunches.-
Afterit is wellidried, it is ready for use
Like wool for ordinary cloth, it is used only
for "6lling," and mixed only with about
one third cotton. The common and easier
way OF mixing is by ginning it with cot
ton, although il could be, l suppose, mixed
fully as well by 'calliug" If the same
quantity in weight of seed cotton aud hair
are. thoroughly mixed and placed IN the
gin after the seed are separated, the cotton
lint will be about oae-third of the hair
The breast OF the gin should be little rais-
ed or the hair Will make the saws choke.
Cow bair, thus mixed with cotton, mey be
carded, spun and made into cloth with NO
more trouble than is required for wool or
cotton. The hair can be purchased at the
tauneries at l5 or 20 cents per bushel. Il
is the cheapest material that can now be
had for making cloth, and it is hoped that
all who have negroes to clothe, and have
cards aud wheels and loom, and can get
the hair, will use it instead of their wool,
keeping the latter for our soldiers.

The Press and 'Brave Phil. Kear-
ney."
Our readers will remember that 'brave
Phil. Kearney," or Major General Kearuey,
a short time before he was killed, wrote a
private letter to friend in New Jersey, in
which he spoke very harshIy of some of his
superior officers. Since the death of Gen.
Kearney that letter has found its way into
print. 1t has been extensively published.
1t has appeared in the Wheeling Pres =
The letter is very remarkable one. What
private griefs he had, we know not. Many
coniectures have been made by the sincere
friends of Gen. Kearney as to the causes
which induced him to write the letter, tut
no satisfactory solution was arrived at uu-
til the issue of the Wheeling Press day be-
fore yesterday morning. The Press has the
key to the whole business. 1t knows
what's the matter. Hear.
"The answer is simple. Kearney had
become d6oiitionizsd"

Shooting obstinate Mules In the Cow

Shooting Obstinate Mules in the Cow
ernment Corral at Washington.
From a letter in the Philadelphia Press
describing the Government hOrse-buying
operations at Washington, We extract this
item in regard to the treatment of mules:
The shoeiug shops are the places of
great interest. In one long shed huA-
dred blacksmiths are hammeriug away at
horses. In another, the more traetable Of
the mules are put through the process
Usually, however, these latter animals are
such awful kickers aud plungers that few
men will attempt to operate upon them.-
For such uuruly gentlemen, Messrs. Allen
and Snow, after long and patient inVesli-
cation, have invented aprocess which, for
originality Of ge1ius aud AdaptAbility TO
the freaks of the fnules, cannot be surpass-
ed. An obI0ng pen Is built Of the heaVi-
est timber. A sts sat windlass is at the up
per end, and fronSthe top three broad straps
hang down. The machine is Of great
strength, and very simply constructed. II
takes half dozen men TO operate It, aud
a mule is put through" in six minutes by
the watch.
A eontraband brings each mule into the
yard, and head halter is the only harness
upon him. As if by Intuition, the animal
seems TO know what is to happen to him,
aud Of course refuses TO 60 into the pen
To remedy this, roperfrOm the Windlass iS
fastened TO the halter and man winds it
up, drawing the struggling mule into the
machine. Being once Ia, tHD Of the straps

CAFE RACE, July 24.-The Etna from Liver
pool 10th, and Queenstown 18th, passed this
Point this evening.
The Jura and China, both from New York, ar
rived out On the 18th, and their news was re-
ceived with great interest. The fighting before
Richmond was eagerly canvsssed-some Jour.
nails regard it as great reverse for the North,
and reproach the American Government for
treating it in any other light Others contend
that Gen. Mcclellan has sustained no serious
disaster, and is practically nearer Richmond,
and may congratulate himself on the greatest
and most successful operation of the war;.
Hopes are freely expressed that more pacific
counsels will soon prevail at Washington.
., The Times Is particularly bitter and sarcastic,
and treats the matter as a decided rebel victory.
1t thinks there are good evidences in the North
that the beginning of the end is not far off. In
another article it denounces the insolence of
Gen. Butler in his intercourse with Foreign con-
suls, and says that is not the way to conciliate
neutrals and superiors, and he should consider
whether he is not doing more harm than good
to the Federal cause.
The Morning Post says affairs approach .
crisis, which will necessitate some decided
course on the part of the North. Neutrals can
not much longer remain passive spectators, and
the great question is when shall the South be
considered to have indicated its right to recog-
milton. o. ~
The Daily News points out what would be the
feelings of England, if situated like the North,
and argues that secession will be crushed out at
all hazards.
