The Net BoNNET.-Ls Beau Monte de-
scribes as follows new fashion in ladies'
bonnets: Perhaps one of the most remarka-
bic bonnets which have been brought under
the observation of the fashionable world is
that shape which has been published within
the last two or three weeks, and which the
inventor calls "resille," Gin English the net
shape) The application Of this name will
be felt true when We say that in each case
fancy and decorated net is attached to the
bonnet, in the place of tie curtin, and so
conveniently that the hair can be immedi-
ately placed in it, and released upon taking
the bonnet off. Doubtless this fOnnet has
been suggested by the flowing styles of
wearing the hair which are coming into
fashion, and which are announcement as out
door wear.

Post ONCE NOtIee--Rree Delivery Of Let


/ L0eI gFEICEg
CLEVELAND, July 4th, 1858.
The Letter Carriers recently appointed to
deliver Letters free Of expense, agreeabIy
to the New Post 0fies Laws, experience
great difficulty in asoertaining the residence
Of parties to whom letters are addressed,
owing to the fact that the number and name
Of the street are not written on the letters to
be delivered, and in many cases when writ
ten on, they cannot find any number on the
house, intended to be designated. If people
wishing to have their letters delivered at their
doors free of expense, twice 8 day, will take
pains to instruct their correspondents to
write on their letters, in addition to the Post
Office address, the street and number of the
party to whom the letter is directed, they
will greatly aid the Letter Carriers in dsIiv-
ering their letters promptly and with csr-
tainty.
If people living in houses not having any
numbers on them, will see that the numbers
are put on; they will also greatly aid in the
establishment of the system of Free Delivery
of Letters in this City.
flowing to the houses not being numbered
and the letters not having the street and mum
Der on them, the Letter Carriers should fail
to make good show of the number of let
ters delivered, then the system will necessarily
have to be abandoned as far as this city is
concerned The Letter Carriers will do the
best they can in making diligent inquiries in
order to find out where psOple live, but it
cannot be expected they can find where every
body lives, if the above suggestions are not
fully carried out. E. COWLES, P. NJ.

Extracts from the Rebel Papers
Their Comments on the New
York Mob Fright at
Charleston.
ITO Chicago Trlbune.l

WASHINGTON, July 21
From batch of late rebel papers the
following is extracted:
The Richmond Sentinel gives full de-
tails Of the New York riot and says:
The great riot in New York, of which
we give account to-day, is very signih-
cant and important sigu of the times. OPP
position to the CONSUMPTION law has tri-
umphed over the Government in three
days battle. Lincoln has been compelled
to suspend the draft, and Governor Sey-
mour was constrained to promise this in
Difference to the mob"
The Richmond Enquirer says of these
mObs " We have but to persevere in our
determined resistance, and give ourselves
to the task of winning our independence
more sternly and yet a little while, and we
shall see the giant but hollow husk Of the
Yankee nation bursting inte fragments,
and rushing down to perditiOn in flames
and blood"
The Enquirer also says: "RiOt and
cOnfagration hsve begun in New York
1t is a worlds wonder that this good work
did not commence long ago, and this e1-
cellent outbreak may be the opening scene
of the inevitable revolution which is to
tear to pieces that most rotten sosiety, and
leave the Northern half Of the old Ameri-
can Union desert of blood-soaked ashes.
We bid it God Speed"
Regarding affairs at Charleston, the
Savannah Republican says "The disaster
on Morris Island is attributable to the bad
engineering, for which some one should be
held responsible. The lower battery was
a shocking affair, and our men left it only
when the carriages Of the guns had been
shattered to pieces. The battle in the at
tack upon Fort Wagner was the blOOdiest
and most destructive Of the war. Willing
to do justice to brave foe, it may be added
that more daring assault has not been
made on either side since the commence
ment of the war"
The Charleston Courier urges the old
men, and the women and children to leave
the city. It says -" On the suppositiOn
that the foe succeeds, it is our duty to
avoid incurring his fendish cruelty. All
who can be no service in the work Of de-
Tense, should betake themselves to places
of shelter, and it were we'll not to defer
the removal to late day, or we may be
compelled to main, or if we do make good
our escape, circumstances may Oblige us to
leave all our personal effects behind"
An order has been issued s!.Gg GRgakiindshftsr,
ooffioer or private, from S. to $40.

/ Cleveland & Mahoning, by the A. & g. W.
Co., were ratified by the latter company
at meeting of the stockholders, held at thsi
place on Wednesday.
The business already done on the Franklin

have been found necessary to accommodate
the trade and travel.
CHANGE OF TIME.-New tims tables went
into effect on the A. & G. W. railway on
Menday last and the trains now leave Mead

way, between Akron, Ohio, and Gallon. The
line is being pushed towards the Occident

the construction Of this road.
No official order for the draft to take place
has yet been received, but it will likely be in
few days, as it has already taken place in
several of the districts around US. The mum
Der required from the District will likely be
a little over two thousand.
A friend writing from Meadville, says, dur
ing the past week the ladies of the Relief |
Association have been constantly labOring in
the preparation of sanitary stores to meet the
calls upon them from hospitals and camps.
The President of the Association is Mrs. |
Hannah Moore, lady distinguished for her
as we'll as her patriotism. She |
gives nearly her entire time towards prepar-
ing clothing and delicacies for our sick and
wounded soldiers, many of whom have cause
to bless her efforts and the efforts of the So
siety of which she is the heal.
