Reader, how many patriots do you sup
pose this country contains, when tried by
this scale. Do you thinh yoa could aul a
hundred, fiity, ten, one? We think not -
indeed, we can almost assert, without fear Of
successful contradiction, that not one can be
found. There ore everywhere men who are
for giving 'thc last dollar, and the last man"
to subduc the rebellion, but it is not the dol
lar from their own purses, or their own body
that they propose to reckon on as the suit
able gift. Ia our own county, yea in our
own city, there are wealthy men who are
too "toyat' to trade with "copprThcads"
unless they could shave them fifty per cent,
who would no more give 1.-THE OF their
riches to support the war than they would
risk their bodies upon the battlefield, and
therc Ii no more prospect OF either than there
Is that the millennium will be inaugura.cd
by the bursting shell, and sustained by
bayoncts and sabres.
And if those men who say they believe
the policy Of subjugation, destruction and
humiliation Of the Administration be tho
best that could be adopted, refuse to prove
their faith by heavy contributions, or by
giving their own bodies to the bayonct and
shell, why should those who believe the
policy to be ruinous, and only ruinous, to
the Union and to civil liberty. be tainted
because they arc unwilling to assist in this
work Of destructions If "loyar men will
not support measures they believe to be just
why should "coppcrhoads' be blamed for
refusing to countcnancc me assures that arc
fraught with evil.
When 'loyal' men come up to the stand

Premises Last.

A recent number of the Louisville
Journal has a notice Of secesh publ
cation by one SALLEY r. FORD, whose
husband is in the rebel army. It is en-
titled "Rai,ls and Romance of Morgan s
Men" After giving the book a good
scoring, the notice closes in the follow
ing pungent style:
She Mrs Ford ] delights in calling us
cold Prentice" Well, we were young
er, once than we are now, and hand
somer Of course, but that noble antiquity
S. F. f., might well be a little more
sensitive upon the subject Of age. Her
hair is like gray fox, her face and bosom
are as fabby.as membrane or as bowl
Of pigs foot jelly, her voice is as badly
cracked as cracked saucer or a mani
ac's head, her nose is as peaked as a
rebel bayonet, and the malignant bird,
the crow, has clawed into the corners of
her eyes most awfully and frightfully-
like "Old Scratch" himself. We are
sorry for it, but the fact is exactly as we
state it. We are but historians.

The CHRONICLE.
Thursday Morning Jan. Ia.
A New Dress Elevator.

We have no time to study the vaga
ries of fashion, says the American dgrt-
cultmist, and scarcely know when new
style of coat, hat, dress, or bonnet C ONES
out, unless it be something so oNtre, so
unseemly, as to command attention by
its oddly or incongruity. We pity
those who have no higher aim or ambi-
ton than to be up with the latest
style of wearing watch fob or "a bonnet
string. Being somewhat of a railroad
traveller, daily, we have been compelled
to note the inconvenient crinoline ex.
pansion, which has more than kept pace
with the "currency," and we see with
pleasure that the steel clad armor is
contracting to something like convent
ent and tasteful proportions. This i'm
provemcnt is in danger of being coun-
terbalanced by the frightening Of dress
skirts. This we are also obliged to
take notice of, when hurrying along the
street, and compelled by the trailing
folds to keep at proper distance from
bevy of fashionable ladies half a dozen
yards ahead. We therefore take the
more pleasure in speaking Of new and
convenient little apparatus brought out
by Madame Demorest, which she calls
an Improved Dress Elevator In
brief, it is belt worn u,ader the dress,
with cords and hooks SO arranged that
by drawing two cords, lady can elevate
or lower the folds of the dress as she
walks along. Each breadth of the dress
is raised at the same time. It is easily
applied, the same one answering for any
number of dresses, and being retailed at
the low price of so cents, it is worthy
of introduction.
