How are Our Dresses to be Made!

A cont emporary answers the foregoing question
chimes, of course. We trust that the day is over
in which needle drudgery sets feeble opposition
to the musical lick Of the franklin Sewing Ma,
chine lady who says she does not know how
to use Sewing Machine is looked upon with as
much distrust as a lady who says she don't like
babies. Side by side in every house We see the
Piano and the Sewing Machine. Is not the Ma
chine better than all the pianos ever tuned .
Really we scarcely know which blessing to wish
our lady friends-a Franklin Sewing Machine or
a husband. We rather incline to the former for
they can exist minus tue matrimonial alliance
but can't without the Machine. What say you

The Tmplements of torture.

Col. Hanks, who has had much TO do
with the plantations in the neighborhood
of this city, and has, in the line of his duty,
paid many visits to them, has discovered
many instruments and implements of tor
ture, which 60 far to show that the chiyal-
ric Southern planters, or those debased crea.
lures, their overseers, would have made ex.
cellent torturers for the Spanish inquisition.
First, there is an iron collar made to fit the
neck, which is fastened with screw. To
this are fastered three upright prongs about
1s inches in length, to each of which is at
taehed small bell. The beauty of this in
strument is, that the person wearing it can
never rest his head upon the ground, the
propgs keeping it always when in recIu-
ing position, certain distance from any
support, and the bells keep him awake by
their continual tinkling. This was put up
on the neck of a young woman by order OF
her master, and she was condemned to wear
it for life. Fortunately, the arrival of the
Yankees relieved her sufferings ere death
came to the rescue.
Another article is heavy iron collar,
with mouth piece, or "gag," attached
This gag comes up from beneath the chin,
and is Imnnoyably Fixed in the mouth. In
order 10 speak, eat or drink, it must be re-
moved. The hated King Of Italy never had
more effective instrument in his torture
room. A piece Of iron armor, of ingenius
workmanship, to be worn on the leg, forcing
the victim to limp, and prevent his running
away, was next exhibited. 1t must have
been extremely painful to the wearer.
There was very thick iron ring, to which
was attached by heavy chain square
block of iron, weighing over 60 pounds.
This had been welded on the poor slaves
leg by the plantation blacksmith oper-
alton not performed without burning him
severely; and thus burdened, he was com
PEELED to keep up with the other hands in
the ieid, and perform an equal amount of
labor or be further punished by the lash.
To take this off The iron had to be cut at the
anvil, and then pryed apart to get it over
the foot--an operation under which one
slave at least was known to have died on the
plantation on which it was found. There
were several other implements equally eff
fectiye for tormenting and torturing purpos-
es, but 1t is unnecessary to describe them
here, for there is scarcely plantation in the
country where they are not to be found.
The vice and piuchers are fayorite imple-
ments in some places, and the overseers de-
light to get the thumbs Of runaway negro
in the first, orpiuch his flesh or tongue with
the latter, to force him 10 confess who had
been his eoHfederate--who harbored, cloth
ed, q fed him while hiding in the swamps
on forests, whence he had been dragged by
bloodhpupds. -NelO Orleans Era, 0ct. IL.

Under this head, chat able and Jealous
Democratic Journal, tho Boston Post, has
some exceedingly pertinent and stirring ro-
marks. Nlset the utterauces coming from
the secession leaders," says the Post, ''at-
test how Idle is the proposition foran armis
tice and how absurd Il is TO hope for peace
in any other state Of affairs than those Of
victory by our armies. To have victory
they must be reinforced To do this is a
great national duty rising paramount above
all other duties; and il appeals 10 each citi-
zen to act in it as though il were his own
personal concern.
"Indeed, in one aspect of tho case, it is
assuredly tho personal concern Of all. Are
not tho soldiers OF the Republic, who liter
ally stand wall Of fire around the instiLu-
tions Of our country, our own kith and kin
Of our own householdsY And are the peo.
pie not bound to strengthen their hands by
every consideration connected with the most
sacred lies Suppose that there has been
mal-administratiOD are the brave, soldiers
TO suffer for iiG Are they in anywise to
blame for in To ask these questions is tc
answer them, and the answers will rise spon-
taneously to every lip not lost to what is
due to the country. If there is one place
in the land where thero is true patriotism
it is in front Of the enemy's lines, where AT
the call of a most sacred cause, brave men
stand shoulder to shoulder, ready for the
death-shots and knowing each other only
as brother soldiers with the straight forward
duty before them of obeyiug their superiors
and standing by the flag. To sustain, cheer
op, reinforce and recognize the merit of such
service, is no more than common measure
of Justice.
"Are VIC told that the people are oppos-
ed to doing thisl that they arc tired of the
war9 that they desire peaceg Well, who
pant for peace more than the gallant men
in the fieldY They are not mercenaFies,
who pursue war as trade, as a class do
abroad, but the bone and sinew of tbe land,
whose service all tho money of the world
could not purchase, and their end and aim
is peace. None can pant for peace as do
our soldiers. But it must be peace con-
sistent with the rights, and honor, and dig
p nifty of the nations peace with the Union
and the Constitution triumphant. And the
vast majority Of the people desire no other
peace. Who does not read this, written in
living letters across public sentiment, fails
to discern the signs of the times.
"Thep path ofpeace, necessarily, is through
war with concilation, and the practical
mode ofshewipga a nations care of the SOL
diers is to let them see fresh levies of wor-
thy recruits coming to help defend the coun-
try. This is an appreciation of their wants
which they understand as solid and with.
out humbug; and nothing short Of this will
meet the great duty devolving oS all who
would save tho country"
The spirit manifested in these remarks
is the true spirit. The need pointed out
in these remarks is sincortestably real and
urgent need.

Death of General Strong.
From the N. Y. Evenin. Post July 90.

Brigadier General George G. Strong.
who returned to this city last week from
Norris Island, where he was badly wound
ed in the assault on Fort Wagner, died at
3 O'Clock this morning, at the residence of
city.
General Strong was born in StOckbridge,
Vermont. His father died when he was
but eight years of age, and he was
adopted into the family of his uncle, A. S.
Strong, at Easthampton, Massachusetts,,
under whose care he received his prelimi.
nary education for military life. He en-
tered West Point Academy in the class of
1857, and held the post of first captain of
cadets for three years during the course.
After he was graduated he had charge
of the Bridesburg arsenal, was thence
transferred is Fortress Monroe, and thence
to Mount Vernon, Alabama.
After the detection of Major Mordecai
he had charge of the Watervliet arsenal
for short time; but on the breaking out
of the rebellion he applied for active SER
vice. was one of the staff of General Nc
DOwell at the battle of Bull Run, and
was complimented for his efficiency in that
battle by his General He was next ap-
pointed upon the staff of General McClel-
Ian, but Immediately after was detailed as
ordnance officer to General Butler for the
Department of the East and afterwards ac-
companied Butler to the Department of
the Gulf He distinguished himself at
Biloxi and in the perilous adventure up
Tangipoho.
General Strong was but thirty. one years
of age at the time of his death. His ca
reer was brilliant, and promised still
more brilliant future. He was brave, skill
full in his profession, thorough soldier,
and true gentleman in all the relations
of life. At the assault on Fort Wagner
he commanded the assaulting column, and
led it with distinguished bravery and skill.
If he had been supported bis noble column
would have captured the fort

| think by this time We have come down
to the cold, calm view Of the issues at
stake, uncolOred by excitement or the
glorious romance Of Success that we all
dreamed of when the war first broke out
The war has become q sort of a mOnoto
nous background 80 the life of the people
at home, and its existence is only brought
to their minds by the few wounded SOL
diers the mi itarv accoutrements in the
shop windows, and the big letters in the
newspapers At first it was q splendid
vision of glory and conquest: and now
long, deadoning tax on their patience and
pockets. 1t was ali excitement which the
politician laid hold of, like that of the
Japanese, or the visit of the Prince of
Wales. 1t was a novel sensation to find a
spark OF real patriotism in his selfish
breast--rather pleasant than otherwise.
He attended meetings, and voted resolu-
tons; hung ont a hughe piece of bunting,
and declared his intention of standing by
the constitution of his torefathers. OF
course it was hot Necessary to go and
fight--his neighbor could do that, and he
was not needed; and with q compound of
false patriotis;a and genuine selfishness he
awaited the result.
But the result was very far off. and the
excitement waned gradually away-thou-
sands of brave fellows went to their last
account, and their places must be filled
filled by draft; and then the situation
is changed. Every one is liable to go,
and the wheel of the provost marshal,
stern and memorable as the wheel of Fate,
may roll to every mans tireside and take
him away, and then the politician comes
out in his true cOlors, and says: "The
people are their own rulers the draft is
unconstitutional, the people carry on the
war or not, just rs they please" I have
sometimes felt like saying, o! for d Ma
man stern and strOng-even uDprincipled,
if necesssry--but still n tyrant-f0r we
have come to thai pass.
We have come to that terrible reality,
that we must fight for our name and ma
tionality, as the stern old Netherlanders
fought the good fight, until the canals ran
with red Dutch blood, which cemented
the foundation of free. brave, uncompri-
missed people
We must learn that the man who shout
ders his musket is not doing a favor to
the country, as the volunteers seem to
think-but obeying right which the gov
ornment has, to sacrifice every drop of
American blood, if necessary, and then
call for the women when the husbands are
dead We must learn that other nations
have done it before, in a far less glorious
cause. and that the consaript is more the
soldier in every sense of the word than
the bravest volunteer that ever drew
breath. r.r.
/ should like to have had regiment of
drafted men, for with proper treatment,
and good organization, they can be brought
on a par with even our regular army.

Official Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.

Official Dispatch to The Cincinnati Gazette.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 3O.-John Nor
gan and twenty-eight of his command
reached here this afternoon, and were inn
mediately taken to the Ohio Penitentiary,
where they will remain until farther Or
ders. Fourteen are commissioned and
fifteen non-cOmlnissioned officers and pri-
Yates. After General Mason had handed
the prisoners over to the officers of the
Penitenliary, they were searched, in &C
cOrdance with the rules of the institution,
to which they submitted without any grum-
bling, except in two or three cases. Nor
gan himself emptied his pockets with as
much grace and ease as he could command.
He had several hundred dollars with him
mostly greenbacks.
As fast as the prisoners were examined
they were taken to bath house, and at
ter thorough ablution they were con-
Quoted to their cells, where they will be
confined, subject to the rules of the PEN
itentiary, which will prevent them from
talking with each other. ."-.'Hfa 81 -.r
The prisoners seem not to have been
aware what dispositions was to have been
made of them until they were in sight of
the prison. Some OF them were much
downcast at the prospect of serving an in
definite term there, while others were not
at all affected, but on the contrary were
joking with each other as to what trade
they would learn. S*
The Warden will treat them as other
prisoners are treated. They will be close
ly guarded by detachments from the Pro-
vost Guard, which will render it impossi-
bic for them to escape. One fellow who
was searched had watch concealed in his
pantaloons leg between the lining and
the cloth. Quite number of them had
money thus concealed. One prisoner had
an old newspaper which, he said, was of
no account, and was only wanted by him
to place in his hat, which was too large.
On unfolding it an excellent map Of Ohio
was discovered, of which he was of course
deprived. The articles taken from the
prisoners will be returned to them when
they are released. ...
