Some of the ablest Of living pens are en-

Our correspondence with the leaders
of fashion, in New York and the other
capitals, is especially valuable in this re-

to arrange the resources for this new
feature, we speak confidently Of its prom

GoDEY's LADY's BooK.-We have rcceiv-
ed the August number of this popular
ladies' magazine, which unlike many other
good things never clogs the palate. In the
line of fashions, recipes, valuable informa-
ton Of thousand kinds, and entertaining
reading matter it stands without peer in
this country.
In its chit chat upon fashions, we learn
"All kinds Of braid trimmings are much
worn, sewed on in endless variety of de.
sign.
Leather trimmings increase in favor, and,
for black dress, we know of no prettier
ornament than the leather gimps and hut.
tons so straw like in appearance. They
are used on bonnets as we'll as on dresses
and wraps.
Skirts are faced with grass cloth, or
enamelled leather, which is now to be had
in light colors.
There is nothing particularly new, either
in the shape of bonnets or dresses, with the
exception Of the corsage, made with four
points in front, and three behind.
Alpacas, camlets, India silks, and ,nohairs
are now merely used as travelling dresses,
or for the seaside.
The pathological taste has extended to
thin tissues. We see lovely white fabrics
with peacocks in their rich pumage, and on
lovely CUR ground, are black swallows
darting hither and thither.
For morning, nothing is prettier than the
printed percales and piques, and so excel.
lent are the braidino iIutatonS m then,

s49" Those Democrats who preferred
Gen. Tuttle as the candidate for Governor
DID so on the presumption that Gen. Tuttle
was good Democrat Those who opposed
the nomination of Gen. futile did so be-
cause they had no confidence in the de,noc-
racy Of a man who voluntarily supports
the war policy of the Administration.
In Other words according to the Herald
plan, no man can be a soldier or officer IN
this war on the side of the Union, or sup.
port the war against the rebellion and be a
Democrat.
This sort of secesh doctrine ought to he
secuted by every Newspaper in the coun
try. The Herald libels great and loyal
party. The Democrats do support the war,
and thousands Of them are in the ranks
sancti:ying their Democracy by the most
bloody struggles to maintain the Unioa Of
these states There are at home to be sure,
few pitiable fossils who would stop the
work of restoring the Union because they
do not in all respects like the way in which
it is being done, but they are nothing but
the political warts which disfgure the De.
mocratic body, and should not be mistaken
for the body itself. There is similar fun
81 on the Republican party which has op'
posed the war and maligned the patriots
engaged in It, but the Republican party is
not responsible for its existence any more
than the Democratic party for such stuff al
the Herald daily reels off.
Let the people shun these disorganizing
d;sreputable papers, and they (the papers,
in due time slough off and die Of their owl
poison.

Ceremony Of the Draft.
The following official directions for making
the draft will be found to be especially interest.
ing at this time.
!. Provost Marshal will cause the name of
each person of the first class enrolled to be
written OH card as soon AS the enrolment
list are completed. These cards must be uni
form in size, shape and color
2. The cards are then to be assorted by sub
districts, verified by comparison with the ell
velope marked with the number Of the subdis.
trict, and the number Of cards contained in it.,
and sealed.
3 After all the sub-districts huve been thus
prepared, all the envelopes will be put into one
and sealed up, and put away until the day Of
the draft
On the day Of the draft the Board of En-.
rollment will open the envelope in presence Of
any who chose to attend, and take the envelope
cocta;ning the cards Of the first sub district
These cards will be counted rs they are
placed in the box, and must agree with the
number on the envelope.
The box should be about one foot wide, one
foot deep. and one and half long, with lid
securely tastene on, and hole in the lid large
enough to admit mans hand.
5. This being done, the Commissioner will
announce that the draft for the first sub district
OF such district of such State, for SO many men
will commence.
e. The provost Marshal, or some trusty per.
son selected by him, will then be blind-ioided,
and draw from the box a single card which he
will hand to the Commissioner, who will read
aloud the name on it, The Clerk will imme-
diately enter this name On list previously pre-.
pared opposite No. l. Thus the Graft will con-
tinue until the required number Of names are
drawn, when the cards remaining in the box
will be taken out and counted, SO as to verify
| the whole number originally put in
Z. Great care must be taken to enter names
Ola the roll exactly in the order in which they
are drawn.
8. The remaining sub districts will be pro-
ceeded with in like manner.
8. As soon as practicable, PERSONS drafted
will be notified. JAMES B FRY,
Provost Marshal General.

UNPRoFIrABLE.-The rebels have doubt.
less by this time become convinced that
carrying the war into the enemy's coun-
try" is very Improbable business. Gen.
Lee is hurrying back with his army in for
midable shape-owing to it's splendid dis
cipline-but robbed of more than one
third Of the number that went out to &C.
cupy Baltimore or Charleston. Our dis
patches Of Monday show also that Morgcn
has succeeded in playing OUT in Ohio,
and will probably make no more raids dur
ing this war.

TERRIBLE SACRIFICE Gibbons or the
Iron Brigade, compos ell Of the I'd, 9th, and
7th Wisconsin, 10Th Ind, and oath Mich.
regiments, went into the Gettysburg fight
1850 strong, and at the close Of the fight
720 were found killed or wounded, and
400 more were unaccounted for, making a
total loss of 1920 men, or nearly two-thirds
Of the entire brigade. A correspondent OF
this paper, Capt. Geo. Otis, of the I'd
Wisconsin, was in the fight, and if he is
not with the majority Of his comrades,
placed h0,s du combat, by the terrible fire
to which this brigade was subjected, We
shall soon have graphic account Of it.

How TO END THE WAR.-There may be
several ways Of ending the war, but Of all
the ways We have heard Of there is none
that strikes us so effective as that of put

ance are at the same time sent over the
line to jeff. Davis, to make common cause

A CALL TO ARMs.-On Wednesday the
Provost Marshal for this sub district called
out the militia Of this town to the number
of about sixty and the militia of Farmers
burg to the number Of about forty to pro-
coed at 10 a. IN. Of Thursday to the line of
the McGregor Western Railway to compel
the Irishmcn there at work to give their
real names to enrolling commissioner Davis
1t should be stated that these same parties
had heretofore given Mr.. Davis fictitious
names, and this procedure was to compel
the giving Of the genuine names.
Theexpcdition, as might have been expect
ed, beng made day or two succeeding pay
day, was failure. The workmen hearing
of the demonstration of force, took to the
bushes and with few exceptions none
were found, to be enrolled.
1t seems to US that little good diplomacy
would have secured these names, instead
of which these men bid fair to escape en-
rollment, and consequently the draft.

survived his wounds, he never could be fl
for service. He is now fully recovered,
and is going to take another turn with the

doubt if a more SCARED veteran can be

There was a large audience at the
Congregational Church on Thursday even
ing to witness the presentation Of the beau.

young ladies Of McGregor under the direc.
ton Of Mrs. H. c. Scott. The stage vas
neatly fitted up with genuine bowers form

The young ladies and misses were all neatly
dressed in white, the dresses and hair being
trimmed with the flowers they were to per-
senate. In its musical and dramatic features,
the whole performance vas complete sue
cess; the chorusses were especially fine,
as were also nearly al Of the solos. New
ertheless, where all did so we'll it would be
fnvidious to allude personally to the sing
lrs. We will say, however, that Miss
Bowers was especially charming in her pre-.
sentation Of the Queen. A little natural
embarrassment under which she labored
served only to heighten the effectiveness of
the modesty with which she received the
homage and honor of her sister flowers,
while it did not materially detract from the
effectiveness of her singing Applause was
frequently showered upon the singers
Mrs. A. p. Saylcs sang the part of the
reclnse well, maintaining the r. Elective ma
ture of the character in commcndable de-
gree. Miss Jones, Of Dubuque by request,
played fine selection upon the piano forte
between the acts. The concert was by re.
quest repeated on Friday evening to very
fair audience, which would have been mate.
rally increased, had the public been advis
ed Of the circumstances. The effective
manner in which these young ladies filed
their parts, many of whom for the first
time appeared before the public, not only
did them honor, but reflected much credit
upon the musical and executive talent of
Mrs. II. @. Scott, to whom we are indebted
for genuine musical treat.
