THE NEW STYLE OF LADIES BoNNErs

The NEW STYLE OF LADIES BoNNETs.
Thursday last the prominent milliners
of New York opened the sale of their
fall stock of fashionable goods 1t was
what is called "opening day" and the
ladies, it is stated, were out in unusually
large numbers, in search of the latest
style of bonnets. Some of them are thus
described by writer:
French styles are most in vogue.
The high-topped, scuttle-shaped patterns
are tabooed, and in their place we have
something approaching the always neat
and becoming cottage bonnet Unpre-
tending straw, too, is gradually coming
into favor again, to the exclusion Of
gaudy colors. The profusion of red and
scarlet, which has been so conspicuous
feature all summer, has been succeed
ed by violet and vermillion and the
dark colors; change in perfect harmo-
ny with an improved taste. Misses
bonnets have rose or leaf of laurel,
or sprig of myrtle; "only that and
nothing more" AS to prices, these, as
usual, take wide range Suffice it to
say, that quotations vary from S. up to
S25@$30. The latter, however, are in
demand from ladies whose husbands or
sweethearts have army Or navy cUu-
tracts.

A PRoPHECY.-Gen. B F. Butler, in
his speech at Oxford, Chester county,
Pennsylvania, on Tuesday last, uttered
the following predictions:
But to me this contest has nobler
and wider significance than who shall
rule in Pennsylvania, In this contest is
involved the very life of the nation, now
engaged in struggle which shall give
her proud name among the nations of
the earth, or sink her deep among the
depressed implements which in Gods
providence has failed to work out that
destiny which seemed to be her glory.
And why do | say to you that in the
contest in Pennsylvania there is such an
issue involved? Because, in my iudg-
ment, if, to-day, the great State of New
York, the great State of Ohio, and the
Keystone of the PENNSYLVANIA
should give back to the South the same
sound that far-distant California has Civ
en-that Maine, too, has given, in their
decided, firm, and outspoken majority
not for party, but for conntry-that in
ninety days from date-and | am no
son of prophet predict the rehellion
will be ended

election, gave Curtin 1925 majority.
The official returns of twenty-seven coun-

unofficial, but nearly accurate, and the
full official count will not increase or di-

origin of the Monroe Doctrine.
The United States and Cuba-Ameri-
can Good Faith.

The Providence Journal prints let
ter, never before made public, from John
Quincy Adams to Rev. DIR. Charming, in
which is contained curious bit of secret
history, showing the origin of what is
called the Monroe Doctrine" 1t will
be seen by this letter that under the most
trying circumstances and the severest
temptations, the American government
acted with the most sincere good faith
toward friendly power-Spain-and
with the most open and frank courtesy
toward so other powers, who were at the
time our rivals for the possession of Cuba.
twill be seen, too, that the agreement
against European intervention in Ameri-
can affairs, which afterward took shape
and was formally announced as policy
by Mr., Monroe, in one of his annual
messages-whence the name of Monroe
Doctrine had its origin in a sugges-
ton or proposition made by the British
government to our own; so that English
men may claim the credit of originating
the celebrated Monroe Doctrine"

Mr. Rush was instructed accordingly;
Mr.. Canning disavowed emphatically all
intention on the part of Great Britain to
take possession of the Island, but avow-
ed her determination not to see with in
difference its occupation, either by France
or by the United States, and he told Mr..
Rush of the squadron dispatched by
Louis XVIII. to the West Indies, with
out notifying him of the expedition, and
of the schooling he had ordered the Brit
ish Embassador at Paris to give the
French Cabinet for that sin of omission.
Mr.. Canning then proposed that, by
mutual understanding between the Brit
ish, French and American Governments,
without any formal treaty or convention,
Cube should be left in the quiet posses
sion of Spain, without interference in the
government of the Island This was
precisely the policy which Mr.. Monroe
believed to be best adapted to the inter-
est and the duties of the United States, /
and he cheerfully assented to it. There
was no further communication between
him and the French Government on the
subject, and so far as France was con-
cerned, the arrangement was left to be
concerted between her and Great Britain.
The people of the island of Cuba sub
mitted to the Government of Ferdinand,
restored by the Duke d'Angouleme, and
received a Viceroy and Captain General
in the person of General Wives, who had
been Minister from Spain to the United
States; one of the most upright and hon
orable men with whom it has ever been
my fortune to hold political relations.
He was precisely the man to tranquilize
and conciliate the submission of the peo-
pie of the island to their own Govern
ment, and he so effectually accomplished
that purpose that the Government of the
United States heard nothing further of
intended insurrection in Cuba during the
remainder of Mr.. Monroe's Administra-
ton and the whole of mine
All these transactions were at the
time profoundly secret

On Monday last, a public meeting Of the c'tl-
gems Of the District was held in the Court House.
The meeting was orgapised by calling Mnj. dEo'
boswell to the Chair. Rev. I D. BRuSsoS was
requested to act as sscretary. Tho Chairman
briefly stated that The object of the meeting MS
to takainto consideration theeurrency question, DC.
On motion, the Chair appointed a Committee II
Five, consisting. of C"l. T.. q. BACON, JAs. A.
TALBenr. DR.. Csc. YAnBoRouGH. Gro. SnEPpAnp,
and Capt. JAS. C.. BRooKs to prepare suitable res

returned and submitted through their Chairman ,
Col. BACON, the following Preamble and Resulu-
tinns which wore received with r hearty response
from tho In meeting. Col. BACON after presenting
the report of the Committee, addressed tho. audi
encs at some length in his usual spiritod style,
and dealt hard blowa to any and all who dAre at
tempt to depreciate tho Currency Of the country,
either by word or. deed.
Col. R G. NJ. DuSovGvT ut the call Of numcr-
Gus friends rose and replied to the compliment in
q few we'll timed aud foreible views, fully endors-
lux tHc uISiuK ulOu IA EooPio
the necessity Of the fullest confidence in the cur
rency Of the country, to doubt which would sbe
striking o death blow at the Confsderacy. Col.
NJ. FRAziERi also addressed. the meeting in his
characteristic, frank aud concise manner, giving
as his opinion that those miserable enemies to tho
country, the depreciators Of its currency, should
be dealt with summarily, and that such characters
should be- uatchcd by the community in which
they reside, and marked as traitors to the cause
of Southern Independence.
The Resolutions were then submitted and adopt.
ed without q dissonting voice.
WHEREAS, 1t hus been brought to. tho knowl.
edge of this meeting, that certain persons in oul
midst have refused to receive the currency of tn,
Confederacy in payment of debts, a refusal, which
if persisted in, will be prejudicial to the bea, in
terest of the country and operate to the detriuen
of our common cause, which should be supported
at all hazards and by every means in our power
Be il therefore Resolred. That we, the peopl,
of Ejgefcld District, have All abiding confidence
in the ultimate success of Our cause, and in thu
ability Of the Government to pay it's debt.
Rcsolrrd, That as the currency Of the countr,
bears the same relation to the Government tina
the blood dosst to the human bpdy, be, who in time
like these either by word or decd, impsirs til,
credit or stops the circulation Of said currency
strikes II blow at his country similar to that of tn
tho assassin who strikes the dagger to the heart 0
his f%ellow-man, and deserves the same punish
ment.
On motion of Dr.. WV. NJ. Burr,
Be it unanimously Resolred by this meeting tina
the above Preamble and Resolutions be adop.er
and published in the Aarertissr, requesting othe
papers to copy.

The Edgefcld Village Aid Association has re-
ccived from Mr.. G. L. Penn, two pair Of very
nice socks; also three pairs Of socks which were
left at his store by some individual as donation
to the Soldiers Aid Association. Mr.. PENN ha.
forgotten who is the donor?
We are instructed to give notice that, on
Wednesday, the 18th of April, 1863, tie Associs-
ton will meet for re. organization. Our roll calls
for 90 members; out Of this number not moro
than 20 attend ut all regularly, take work; or pay
their dues, consequently a very few are hearing
the burden and heat of the day, while all are shar-
ing the credit Of working for tho noble, self-sac-
rifcing soldiers. Now thi, is not as it should be.
And 1t was resolved at our last meeting, to call
for q reorganization, and strike from the roll all
Who are not willing to help work for the soldiers.
All who wish to remain members, must either
come, or send word to that effect. There is to DO
no entrance fec, except for such as have never
Joined before. We arc. sorry to think that any
are weary in well doing, still this conviction il
forced upon US from the fact, that many times
pvon in the most pleasant Weather-olr meetings
scarce exceeus u dozen mem oers, and very 0ften
not over half that number. It ia not feasible. to
suppose that all can attend regularly, but every
one can at least evince their Willingness by send
ing occasionally to get work. Cat of % members,
81 have never pnid n cent of monthly dues since
tho present occupants have been in ofice-alnost
= year.
We arc very sorry 10 be under the necessity Of
publishing this notice, and ne don't wish to Judge
harshly, but VIC think We are justified in The con-
clusion that those members who mover attend our
meetings, never send for work, and-neve- pay
their dues, have grown weary in we'll doing. Our
udvice 10 all is, come forward and join over again,
and let US all try and do better for The future.
