The fashion of making promenade
toillettes with the skirts fastenedup over
very short peticoats is now totally dis
earded in Paris and Norfolk; they are
still worn Topped up, certainly, but fast
ened in such q manner as to admit of
being lowered if required. Walking
dresses are only so made when intended
for morning wear, and then the petit
coats over which they are festooned are
only few inches from the ground. For
toilette de visite the dresses are never
worn thus shortened, as the style of hav-
ing one skirt Topped over another must
not be COMPOUNDED with the dress Topped
over the petticoat; as when the dress is
made in the manner we have just de-
scribed, the under skirt is cut quite to
the full length, and forms train at the
back

Mississippi Convention.

The first real break in the commence
ment of reconstruction has been made by
Mississippi The Constitutional Con-
vention is now in session at Jackson.
1t goes in for forgiveness of all engaged
in the rebellion; for prohibiting the Legis-
lature from passing any disabling act
that shall initiate against persons ell
gagged in the late war, and finally, for
the abolition Of slavery. The following
synopsis of the work Of the Convention
we take from the New Orleans Times;
The Times has a special dispatch from
Jackson, Mississippi, dated to-day, Civ
ing the proceedings of the Mississippi
convention. An ordinance ratifying all
judicial proceedings in the courts, in
Guiding all judgments, DEGREES, deeds
and indictments; also, ratifying all mar
riages, contracts and sales; also, ratifying
all State laws passed during the war,
was passed to first reading. An ordi-
nance prohibiting the Legislature from
passing any law, imposing any civil dis
ability or punishment, or forfeiture of
estate upon any citizens engaged in the
late war with the United States, or for
the political opinions occasioned there
by, was also passed to first reading. a
memorial was adopted to be presented to
the President of the United States,
praying him not to garrison the State
with negro troops, which was referred
to General Osterhaus, to be by him for
warded to the President. A memorial
was also presented praying that steps be
taken in behalf of Jefferson Davis and
Governor Clark. .-
The constitutional committee made
report that such change be made in the
constitution of the State as will hereaf-
ter prevent slavery or involuntary SER
vitude except for crime, and striking out
all portions of the old constitution rela-
tive to slavery.
An ordinance was also reported pro-
viding for the election of congressman,
members of the Legislature, Governor,
and other State officers, on the first
Monday in October, to serve two years;
also providing that all judicial and min
isterial officers now in office shall con-
tinue to hold their offices for the re-
mainder of their unexpired terms. The
record committee also presented an Or
dinance ratifying all the acts of the
State officers not made in aid of the re-
cent war and not inconsistent with the
Constitutions of the United States and
the State of Mississippi. ......--
Both reports will be adopted.
Mississippi has led off in this way,
and the other States will, doubtless, fol-
low her example, Nothing has been
said about the negro voting-nor will
anything be said about it by any Of the
Southern States in their work of reor-
ganization. Unless the question is forced
upon them by the outside pressure Of
Congress, it will never come up.

q State Convention in Columbus on
Thursday, and nominated for Governor
Alexander Long, and for Lieutenant
Governor, Clinton A. White. Theresa

their submission, and opposed emanci-

Mr.. WILLIAM WARREN, the come
dian, after an absence of two years, has
returned to the Boston Museum. His
reception there on Monday night, was
an ovation seldom offered to an actor.
The house was thronged; and when the
favorite appeared, he was hailed with
every demonstration of friendship and
ueiight. A sort of frenzy marked the
sreetlng: the shouts of welcome from
all quarters and from all sexes and all
ages, showed that an uncommon person
nao returned. And this was natural,
perhaps; Tor cold indeed must be the
nature OF aapeople who are incapable of
evlncing gratitude to those true chroni-
ciers VINO, from time to time, contribute
to the public amusement. Mr. Warren
we presume, is the greatest actor in his
line upon the stage. He is always ,tor-
feet i'll his. parts; takes no liberties La,
his author, and indulges in no famil,ar
tiles with his audience. In private lisa
he is as much admired by those 1vho
know him, as he is upon the stage He
is a cultivated gentleman, inoffensivo
and cheerful. We congratulate the Pos.
tonians upon the return of their favorite
and the repossession OF the best actor in
America.

anticipated failure in the Atlantic
cable from the first. We are not much
given to old womanish notions-and
vet, in some of these same notions, we
have many time discovered the hidden
germs of great truths. Both attempts to
Law the cable were made from Great
Britain. Both were English projects.
Now it is notorious, that however fortu-
nate or lucky England may have been in
former days, of late years her luck
has left her, and taken up its abode with
the Yankees, the youngest, mostvigorous
and fortunate member ofthe Anglo-Celtic
family. We feel quite confident that
had the cable been an American enter
prise, and had they commenced to lay it
from the American shore, it would have
long since been in successful operation.
We commend this idea to the considera-
ton of the academy of sciences. Nations
like individuals reach periods when
their luck changes. England's has run
out long since. The tide in her affairs
has both ebbed and flowed, but America
is just now riding grandly on fortunes
