Long DRESSES - We d. not see one
lady in. ten walking the Streets" says an
exchange, ffWthout constant lussing and
idgeting with the long skirts of her dress.
Some pin them up at regular spaces, giving
them a very rumpled appearance; others
wear pages or an elastic cord just below the
waist, pulling up the dressiust as our grand
mothers used to do when they went to scrub
the kitchen; others frantically seize the side
breadths, holding them in front, having the
appearance of "a desperate determination OF
sitting down the first convenient opportunity.
Some walk on letting their dress hang, il
suddenly brought up on the front breadth,
stumble founder, pull up and try it again.
Now all this could be avoided. Modesty and
respect for the opinions of mankind demand
reformation in this matter. We have only
given fair wetker view of this matter. Ii
ladies would put quarter of yard less in
The length OF their dresses, they would save
the amount the goods cost and as much pub
lilo observation.2

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON THE
STAND

Wendell Phillips has been making
speech in Boston on the war, which
is characterized by his usual fsankness
and honesty. We select the following
sentences from it as it appears in ~
Boston paper:
"speaking of the prospect Ct peace,
Mr.. Phillips said our institutions must
first rest on tho basis of universal
equality. Toward that goal the nation
struggles to-day, and there never can
be peace till we reach it, There is no
reconstruction possible within twenty
years unless the black and the white
are admitted alike to suffrage. He
had labored for twenty-five years to
break up the Union in the interest of
justice, and now he labored to save it
for the same end. Nationality was
nothing to him when weighed against
freedom and justice. The North did
not take up arms in 1851 from mere
love of Union, but, in his opinion be-
cause war would give the nation the
right to abolish slavery. 1t ,vas tho
result Of he work Of the Abolitionists
that the nation accepted the gauntlet
Of a0ar."
Mr.. Lincoln anu Phillips agree ex-
actly, viz: that 1t was adherence to ne
gro freedom that caused the war. How
much palmer must these men talk be-
fore the people will get their eyes
open?

thing we do must, from this day forth
have some relation to the conduct of
the war. Our army must be made a
regular army; hitherto 1t has been
nothing more than body Of volunteers.
Our cavalry system must be reformed.
We must give up money-making and
devote ourselves to pursuits that will
best assist in carrying on the war
Better to make a few dollars less for
he time being, than to make it for the
benefit Of the va nkees.
We have become accustomed to
hardships and self denial They will
become even easier to US than they
are at present. Above ALL let not oar
peop'e be delulel by the cry of peace.
1t has done them an immense deal Of
harm already and it will do them q
greet deal more if tn y listen to it.
There is, at present, no prospect of
peace, nor will thcic be as long as the
Yankees continue to believe themselves
gaining victories every day. There
will be none, until they shall have
been convinced that their efforts to
subdue are unavalling. This convic-
ton we shall be compelled to beat into
their heads; aud in order that we may
do go, it is necessary that every man
should be at his post. Rampant as
the Yankees now are for war, their tone
would change Immediately should one
Of their armies be destroyed; for they
would find it difficult to replace it. In
the meantime, we are convinced that
if We can hold our own through this
Winter--as most certainly we can-
the worst will have been passed. Our
enemy can never make such an effort
as he has made md is now making.

THE CHIEF EUTLER's DREAM
INTER- PR RETI.D:

Gen. Butler has left this city for the
seat of war, but, in parting, he has
left behind a Gordon Knot for the
keen wits Of our political adopts to cut
in sundcr. His speech delivered on
Monday, on the occasion Of the recep-
ton at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, has
Significance beyond what attaches to
the conventional acknowledgement Of
an ovation. five mistake not, it her

rinistration.
tits not likely that Gen. Butler
would make the olive branch his theme
unless under instructions from head
quarters. He says:
"In view Of the unanimity Of the
American people, in view of the
strength and majesty of tae law, in
view Of the might of the nation, mi ght
it not be suggested that now is a good
time for US once again to hold out to
the deluded men of the South the olive

back, come back, now. This is the
last time of asking. Come back, and
leave the feeding upon tho husks, and
come with Us to the fat of the land,
and let by-gones be by-gones, if by-gon
ss are by-gones, and our country will
live IN poaco hereafter.'"
lie proposes an improvementupon the
Amnesty Proclamation Of Mr. Lincoln.
He proposes amnesty ito the leaders
and ALL"
"There might have been reasons, I
think, among proud and chiyalrous
people that they would not desert their
leaders in answer to the amnesty Of
President Lincoln; but now has come
an hour when we can say, Come back,
come back, and submit to the laws,
and you shall find exactly such laws as
before, except 50 far as they are altered

GcLELLAs's STATEMENT OF HIS LOSSES
Mcclellan, in the oficial report which
he has just published, puts down his
losses in the battles around Richmond,
from the Goth of June to the LIST of July,
inclusive. at 4 ,5S2 killed. 7.TO0 wounded.
and 5,958 missing total, l5,249. When
it is recollected that the Confederstes act
ually took, brought away and confined
upon the island, and in other prisons,
more than IL 900 men, We may be ena-
bled to Judge of the claim which this doc
ument has to be considered truthful.
A lie stuck to, says the proverb, is as
good as the truth. To cover zone Of the
most shameful, as wen as complete de-
feats recorded in history, MoClellan's
vanity prompted him to indulge 10 . sys-.
tenn of deliberate falsehood.' which Justly
brought upon him the derision Of the
civilized world. But it did him no man.
ner of service. His employers saw
through his devices, as his opponents had
already done from the beginning. No man
least of all Mcclellan himself believes
a word of what be writes. He hss found
his proper level, and ill the lying reports
which he can manufacture between this
and dooms-day cannot raise him above it.
He came here to take the city of Rich
mond. He had, FIRST and last from For
tress Monroe to Mechanicsville docu-
ments furnished to the Committee of In.
quiry by the War Office, substantiated by
the Assistant Secretary of War. prove
beyond all doubt, 158, 900 men.
He was beaten in every battle, from
Williamsburg to Malvern. Lincoln found
him at Westover, or Shirley, with but
$4,000 men. What had become of all
the rest? Had they sunk into the earth
or melted into the air : They had sunk
into the earth, victims 10 the bayonets
and tbs shots of the Confederate troops
or to the disease of the climate. aggrava-
ted by incessant exposure, and unremit-
ting toll in ditching his way to Rich
mond. At last, only because it was nee
essary to withdraw our troops to repel
invasion from another quarter, be was
permitted to stink away from the misera-
Bile remnant of his troops cowed, broken
spirited. and eifectually brought down
from the lofty tone of bragsdocio with
which they commenced the siege Of Rich
nond. A more entire failure is nowhere
recorded, and more thorough charlatoa
never lived.
