An Aufumn Song.
WOman's Dress.
From MOors's Rural New Yorker. J

tETom MooTe's Rural New forkerl
Considerable has been said on this |
subject by your correspondents and ex-
changes, and have hitherto been silent,
hoping that out Of SO much argument
might come come practical reform.
The equestrian dress was bold dash,
in which its advocates showed their in
dependence; and why may not they and
others throw aside Fashion demand and
make as decisive a move in the right d.
rection, and defend it as persistently2
They claimed to have the "silent con-
sent" If not the direct approval Of the
other sex, and while / can not believe
that fathers, brothers, husbands, or true
friends could regard with pleasure, or
even Indifference, one for whom they
cherish either affection or respect, in such
a costume and position, they still have
an interest in whatever is for our ply
steal or moral benefit, and, where both
can be combined, will give us their
hearty support without hesitation. to
this any demur, shall we not find their
true motives unworthy Of our attention
and their relations to Us such as shall
not entitie them 10 our acquiescence2
~ cttUS 10 DC hChuOHtSdEtd ny al
that our mode Of dress is imperfect in
two particulars--its unequal distribution
of warmth over the body and limbs
and its manner Of adjustment about the
waist.
Men have their feet, legs and arms
we'll covered; and while high-necked,
close sleeved dresses are an improve
ment in our clothing, still, the low bands
and short sleeves Of our under garments
leave a want they do not experience
Loose skirts might, with propriety, it
seems TO me, be replaced by more com
Portable and just as becoming drawers
and knickerbockers," beneath dress,
balmoral, and, if you will, crinoline.
Striped balmorals and stockings take
the place 80 long filled by white; and
why may not knckerbockers be made
Of Highland plaid" or something
similar, as well, with our CATERS enough
higher to meet them and protect our
ankles and laced in 'front.' India rub.
Der sides are too cold just about the
waist, where there should be the least
pressure, is the only place our clothing
is close, and if any one objects to loosen
belts and ladies' suspenders, because We
shall not look quite trim and tidy, tel
them not to say anything until "Gari
baldls are forgotten.

sion to fulfil The first is to press back, step
by step, if necessary the military power of
the Confederacy from the usurped soil of the
seeding States ; and eventually to subdue
that power, and bring it to terms of peace
The second to develop he principle of loyal
tyin the relieved people, and preseet them in
its exercise and enjoyment, while they re-
ernmenls, aud unite them again with their
States under the provisions of the National
Constitution. -
1t is objected to perhaps, that the loyal
people of the South are too few in numbers
to assume, or be trusted with the powers of
the State Governments. A fair test will de-
monstrate this assumption to be unwaranted:
In addition to the large body who, in almost
every Southern State, opposed the o:dinan-
ces of secession, many thousands have been
converted by the progress, and many thou
sands more will be released and flock to the
standard upon the suppression of the rebel
lion, and the subjugation of its military pow-
er. The lessons of privation, suffering and
misery cntailed upon the people of the South
by the wicked leaders in this war will suffice,
at least, for the present generation; and with
wholesome and benefcent governments again
restored to a loyal or rePcntant people, will
live in history as a warning to future genera
tons not lightly to put in peril of destruction
such a form Of government, at the command
wicked and unprincipled leaders, only for the
establishment of the oligarchy in its stead,
with nothing but civil war as its means, and
despotism as its result. But the loyal people
of the Southern States, be they few or many,
can alone be entrusted with this great work of
reorganization.
While we desire peace, therefore, we must,
as a necessary means, prosecute the contest.
To this end our armies must be reinforced
and increased, and the brave men who accept
this duty must be cared for aud protected
The past has had its gloom, but the future is
full of hope. The call of duty in the field and
the council is earnest but cheerful, aud your
response and mine must not be laggard or un-
certain. To this end you are chosen ; and
mine shall at all times be a cooperation cor
dial and effective.
And now solemnly invoking the Divine
blessing upon our mutual labors for the good
of the State and National Government, I am
ready, in your presence, to assume the oath of
Office.
