Sailing Under False Colors. We are
Informed that young man from this city, who
''jined' the army and then deserted, is now
rusticating in Canada, and registered his name
at the hotel, as Captain -----, O. S. A. II is
unnecessary to add that he left here furious
war man, and rampant Abolitionist. His
friends here are of the same stripe Wonder
what they will think Of his palming himself
off on the Canadians as Confederate officer.

Fashions Yesterday we gave the style Of
bounets worn in New York City. We now
give condensed description of the Fall style
Of dresses
Empress cloths, poplins, mohair, alapaca,
and handsome Scotch plaid are TO be found
in all the most admired colors, and in excel
lentqualities, taffeta, moire antique, and
new style of. f.velvet figured silk, being reserv-
ed for dress occasions. Gros grains, a heavy
colored silk, is also very much in favor this
season, but it is neither as durable nor as ele.
giant, in black, as new manufacture called
gros de Venice, which is both beautiful and
capable of doing great service.
novel and very striking effect in n,oire
antique is produced by the introduction of
small figures upon the surface which look
precisely like velvet They add indescribably
to the imposing effect of grand toilette, but
are not found in the costiest qualities of this
very expensive material Very handsome
figured moire antique may be procured for
four or five dollars per yard, bat the richest
plain MORE antique is found as high as
twelve dollars per yard, and bears off the i'm
perial palm from every other fabric.
Small black velvet figures upon a rich taf-
feta ground are among the new designs, and,
for the first time, the "42nd plaid is ntrodu-
eed in expensive silk, as well as in poplin and
wooden fabrics.
The jacket most in favor has skirt eompos-

Skirts are trimmed in great variety Of
styles, round the bottom, up the front, and
even upon each breadth. Marrow Huiing, and
I ruehing put on in waves, and festoons still OBJ
tains, the underskirt being trimmed so nearly
like it as to make the upper one, when raised
to protect it from the dust or mud, look like a
tunic
There is very little variation in the sleeves
Into the narrow sleeves shaped at the elbow,
which have been so long in vogue, pufings
] are introduced, which are scarcely an improve
ment on their quiet but graceful simplicity
Skirts are still worn very long behind, and
their apparent length is increased by the small
size of the hoop, which fits closely round the
hips, but expands, though not to an inordinAte
extent, as il reaches the base.
