spring and Its New Fashions.

Many Of our lady readers will, doubtless, be
intsrsstedin knowing the styles prevailing among
the Flora McFimseys Of the North We copy
rom a lat9Nsw York paper:
The mild weather OF the past-fsw days has had
the sffect of gladdsning the hearts Of millions
and dry goods dealers-and 20 call cut the tsir
portion of humanity, who are given to promen-
AIDE shopping, etc. This morning our streets
we're thTonged with ladies who seemed to delight
in bssking in the pleasant rays of the san, and
in inspecting the new fashions of the season.
We learn that the novelties of the season are
almost altogether in straw goods-fancy grapes,
gauzss, tules, and the ike. being very little
used The variety and beauty, however, of the
fine straw fabrics, leave nothing 10 be desired,
and possess, indeed, an appearance 80 distin-
guished as to put silks and inferior combinations
quite in the shade. The novelty and beauty of
the straw trimmings seem TO be a marked feature
OF this seasons decorations, and exceedingly
aPr0pOs TO the prominence given TO rich straw
fabrics.
The pecularity Of the present style of a
" loVe-Of q bonnet" is striking 1t is very high
IN front, almost square across the top with very
straight sides, and narrow, compressed crown
and curtain. The peculiarly is, therefore, the
extreme hight, which is greatly increased by
the arrangement of the trimming. AS tie shape
precludes the possibility of side trimming, the
lace and flowers that beaulify the inside are dis
posed in fowery bandeaux across the forehead,
OF inclined a little to the one side. The materials
most in use are Grape, silk, lace and straw.

From the Shreveport News, May lG
On Monday night the steamers Empire Psnsh
aud st. Maurice arrived from New Orleans, pro
Tossing to have been sent for provisions for the
poor OF the city Of New Orleans. Our people.
though ever ready TO assist in q good deed, had
their doubts as to the true mission OF the boats,
and the next day took steps to keep one or the
othaT here, until satisfactory proof could be OBJ
tanned. A posse of citizens proceeded 70 the
boats armed and equipped, and took possession
of them. One Of the boats is to be kept in Gus
tody, and the other is to 90 to the mouth Of Red
river, having one or more our citizens on her,
and there substsntlate the truth Of their sayings
We noticed y white aag attached to the Jack
staff Of the ST. Maurice, when ~ visited the

ion On the subject as we ara not sufficiently

not being too hssty oI too laggaEd ia theL &c

Since the above was put ia type the citizens
held i meeting and decided to keep the boats in

The Yankee GuabOats,

The telegraph IS entirely silent about the
movements Of the Yankee gunboats which are
known to be shove City Point. We have re
ports from Richmond that they are endeaVoTing
to shell the forces employed on the works which
are nov being strengthened for the protection
OF the distractions about Elk miles below Rich
mend In this way they eau sId DO annoy
greatly the hands engaged, but the works must
progress, if the city IS TO be saved. Better that
a few lives be sacrificed th5rs than that the gun
boats should pass and thereby impenl Richmond
We are pleased to hear, however, that Richmond
is to be defended to the bitter end, even though
every house it contains should be riddled and
burnt by the shells of the enemy

The Rirer Rnn.rfes-

Everything has been quiet at the river batter
les since Thursday last, the enemy's gunboats
not having made their appearance since the en-
gaeemsnt of that day.
General Johnson's forces have now occupied
a line in the vicinity of Richmond, so as to cover
the batteries from any land attack.
We, of course, do not enter into any details of
the recent movement of General Johnson's
forces, beyond the general statement that it is
supposed to have contributed to the safety of the
city of Richmond
Everything has been quiet on Gen. Johnston's
lines since their recent movement, with the ex-
ception of an uDimpOrtsnt cavalry skirmish at
Bottom Bridge, in which we suffered no loss.
1t is the opinion of officers of skill who have
made q reconnaissance at Drurys Bluff that the
position possesses q number Of extraordinary
advantages, which make it tenable against all
the enemy's gunboats that can be brought
against It. One considerable advantage is, that
owing to the sinuosifies of the river and the
conformation of the banks the enemy must find
it impossible to engage the batteries at a dis
lance over six hundred yards. and that, there
fore, no fear need be entertained of long range

From Washington.

The Nov York Herald of a late date has the
following: p
SectiOnalism begins to creep out id the House
between the East and the West. It will not,
for awhile, become as raneoTOus Is that between
the North and South, bHt indications are sppa-
rent that it viii become very strong in its pOliti-
cal action. In the debate to-day upon the Pacific
Railroad bill the Western members intimated
pIsinly that the West would soon be strong
enough to get her rights In Congress without
begging for them as a favor. The members from
the West IN tie present Congress represent q
population larger, by several hundred thousand,
than those from the East.
Frank P. Blair, Jr, in some spirited remarks
in reply to Mr.. Morrill,, Of Vermont, imputed a
g~Tssping disposition to the East The great vic
torres over the rebels mad, he said, been won by
western troops, and while the East had been
paid in full for their transportation of troops, the
western railroads had been tor months delayed
ia receiving their dues. Their bills had been re-
duced, and they are finally paid certificates. the
money having been all taken from the treasury
by the eastern creditors of the government.
Mi. Morrill,, in Responding, had his ding at
Gen. Mcclellan. He said he glOried in the vic
tories OF the western troops, but If eastern sol
dieTs had not been victorious it WAS because they
had not had an opportunity. A western man
had been at their head. When eastern troops
had been led By a Burnside they were victorious,
An Indiana member spoiled this remark by
stating that Burnside IS a native Of that State.
The debate throughout showed that the West
Is becoming FESTIVE and defiant.
