/" WHITTIER. Are We Drifting ''...A
French View.

The Courier DIES Eaas Unis, the French
organ published in New York, thus COM
placently reasons upon the future destiny
of this Repablic:
The reduction of our army to $4,000 is i'm.
possible. We have undertaken to govern the
South, militarily, and at least $50, 900 will be
required for that, which cost Us more than
500, 600 in France. Hence, our government
has Lost its exterior Influence, because our flag
at present waves over half of the territory of
the Union, the emblem of defeat and servi
tude, where any other would be preferred
that would fberate (white) slaves from bond
age. just what it cost Us to feed, clothe and
support 15O, 900, that we lose in power to en-

publican principle. The name exists. but the
reality is gone.
Nevertheless. says the Courier 1.-The
United States will gain some advantage from
this changed experimentation republic of

did not have: order and q morale, in which it

A correspondent o. New York news
paper gives the following sketch of women
at Saratoga:
Icall to mind now two or three ladies
whose physique is well nigh perfect, whose
limbs and chest challenge the marbles of
Canova, and whose countenances are mar.
velously regular. To every one there is q
certain deficiency, an indistinct something
necessary to complete the circle of @sthe-
tic combinations, the type of a perfect
creature. For example, out of half a dozen
handsome blondes, one has diminutive
nose, which destroys the effect of her mag.
nificent hair. Another has common
fault; she is too scrawny and bloodless.
else she would be angelic. A third carries
with her spiritual and sublimed radiance,
as if she were too refined and pure for our
earth, but an open mouth disenchants one
in a moment; her teeth are large and
tusk-like.
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF OUR WOMEN.
The prevailing defect is the meagerness
and imperfect blood and bone of our aris-
,tocracy. From what causes it springs, we
care not; the fact is too painfully true.

We talk at random great deal about
the Anglo-Saxon race. Look at the names
in the list of our American commanders
in-chief, from the first commissioned by
Washington, in 1871, down to the present
time. Here we have Gen Arthur st. Clair.
a Scotch Celt; Anthony Wayne, an Irish
Celt James Wilkinson, Saxon or Gothic
Henry Dearborn, a Welsh Celt; Jacob
Brown, a Welsh Celt; Alexander Nc
Comb, an Irish Celt; Winfield Scott.
Scotch; George B. Mcclellan, Scotch
H. W. Halleck, Saxon; q. S. Grant.
Scotch. Thus we have eight out of the ten
commanders-in-chief of our armies during
the last seventy-fve years, whose origin is
no more Anglo-Saxon tLan it is Tartar.
Look at the Celtic names, moreover, that
stand in the fore front of the late war

We reproduce in another column, &om
the Chicago Republican, g. remarkable ar
ticle, Obviously from the pen Of q. A.
Dana, late Assistant Secretary Of War:
While Mr.. Dana is made personally con-.
spiclous as the responsible editor Of the.
Repwblicaa, BY it's publishers, he cannot,
complain if his position is recognized, and
that which he has to say is. intetpretsd in
the light Of the fact thst he may be de-
nominated . Stantonian spmpathizer, and
is known to be conversant With the secrets
Of the war Office. There has not been
much discussion of the terms of the sur
render Of Lee, which were also thsse upon.
which all the rebel armies laid down their
arms. We have not heard that there was,
any great public dissatisfaction with them.
The people were contented to see the war
end sosuddsnly and gforiossly, giving usa
certainty Of the maintenance Of the Union.
aud the destruction Of slaveeyS and the,
propensity to hang and shoot traitors has
certainly not been shown to be fierce and
universal. 1t seems, howevsr, that, from
. war Office point of view, "there Is some
thing intensely CALLING" that Grans
"loosely worded I" the articles Of conven-
ton with Lee, and that be tarpished I"
his glory owing to the lack Of q " little
lawyer cunning" when he suffered him
self to be drawn into an amnesty. We
further have the information given US that
the government decides to accept the lit
eral reading of the convention 5" and also
that Davis, Of course, is to be tried by a
court We infer that q civil court is
meant. There is enough in the article Of
the Republican to show that the most
headstrong Of the radicals would be very
happy if they could break down the Lieu
tenant General-that a part Of the many
vials Of wrath poured upon the head Of
Sherman for the convention with John
ston was from gall-bladders intensely
worked up by the terms granted Lee, and
were really meant fer Grant. It was q CO.
incidence, we suppose, that the article of
the Republican appeared on the morning
of the arrival of Gen. Grant in Chicago.

SAINT PAUL. FRIDAY. AUGUST $, 1866

Up to the period between girlhood, and
womanho0d, their growth is equable, gen.
erOus and symmetrical; but In after life
the sweet and delicate budding girl be-
comes either monstrously fat end sensual
old whale of woman, or, more probably,
a scraggy, thin, skinny, shriveled old skel-
eton. How Is it that the other sex cannot
grow old with corperel symmetry as the
men do? Something in the education,
physical or mental, or both, must 20 wrong
about this time. Spa waters may do some.
thing to remedy this trouble, but the pre-
vention must commence elsewhere.
RRPRRHKNsIBrH PRACTICES.
Our women, I observe, are much given
to eking out their natural charms by arti-
fetal methods. Iobserve this, for howev.
er skilfullE the illusion may be effected by
adopts in this species Of fiction, some less
skillful is sure TO let the secret out. The
prevalence Of rouge and the various kinds
ofblanche, such asPeaSl powder and drops,
almonds, bismuth, chalk, originally bor-
rowed from the Ffsuei stage, is, let 10 be
thankful, sensibay growing less. The use
OF email and other liquid washes seems to
have taken its place to. some extent. The
success in the use Of these arti6ces is very
unsatisfactory. Either the effect is not
visible, or it is overdone and meretricious.
There are two Young ladies in Saratoga
who have achieved almost miraculous sue
cess in q kind Of enamel polish of the skin,
which oombineds in enc Of them, with a
form Of great beauty, produces wonder
full effect at distance. The face, neck
and arms are as smooth, pearly and fin
ished as the statues Of Praxitcles. @.
THD kACHNnRY OF GOOD LOOKS. -1.
There ;s as q general thing q very great
effort to reveal a. much as possible the Pc
culiaR female charms without the design
being too evident. The same bony outline
and niggardly fountains predominate.
Either one extreme or the other. Tight
laceing stil congresses the lungs. Pads
for every part Of the body are in use. A
device for putting out to 'smoothness the
wrinkles Of the cheeks called "plumpers, /"
has been introduced. False neck and
busts have been abandoned as unproit-
able.
NATURE VERSUS ART.
On the whole, Unjust regard the present
fashionable methods of personal decoration
as being ghastly failures. The universal
and expansion waterfall is libel upon
the good taste and good sense of Our peo-
pie. Some of the colffures betray q spark
Of originality, while others are simply and
fearfully hideous. The golden hair, if one
may ever say dye, is decided step in the
right direction. The neither brduclie of
our ladies are their especial glory. Like
the poetical creations Of Moore, they are
something too gross for spirit, and yet too
obviously fail for earth. The teeth, / OBJ
serve, are usually regular and of ivory
whiteness. False teeth, many of them,
but quite excnsable in view of the general
dental dacav

Three children Of JeGoFson Davis in
Albany...They are On Their Way
% Montreal.

From the Albany Evening journal August IS.
Three children of Jefferson Davis ar
rived here this morning on the st. John,
stopped at the Delavan House for few
hours, and left on the Rensselaer, and Sar-
atogs Railroad for Montreal. There were
two sons and daughter, younger. The
names of the sons were Jefferson and VIII
liam. They were accompanied BY the
mother of Mrs. Davis, white servant Girl.
and man servant A large crowd was
attracted to the Delavan House, where
quite a disgusting scene took place. A
number of women went in, and, amid the
most extravagant professions of delight
and affection, repeatedly kissed the chill
dren. While the children should not be
held accountable TOR the deeds of their
father, there is certainly nothing in them
nor their parents that entities them to any
peculiar manifestations of regard over hun
dreds of respectable children Of loyal pa
rentage.

We have noticed with regret disposition on
the part of some Northern editors, to mfsre-
present the feelings and sentiments of the peo-
pie Of the South, IN regard to the reconstruc.
ton of State Governments. They allege in
positive terms that an Overwhelming majority
OF the Southern States, including many Of
those who have taken the oath of allegiance,
are still actuated by spirit Of insubordination
towards the General Government, and that it
is their secret determination to obtain the con-
troll, through the medium of the ballot box, of
the State Government, that they may be there
by the better enabled to accomplish their
schemes OF resistance to the maintenance of
national authority.
These unfOunded and mischievOus imputa-
tions. are generally based upon careless or will
ful misrepresentation made by southern cor
respondents. Our sole object in noticing the
unjust editorial structures Of the class of editors
OF which we complain is, to place them as
well as the Northern public on their guard
against class of gross fabrications, sensational
communications and fippant insinuations.
That there may have been exhibition of res
tiveness and dissatisfaction in the South under
the new order Of things, we do not pretend to
deny; but it is equally true that such NANTES.
tations of disloyalty are of very rare occur.
renee, and are confined almost entirely to q
class Of young men recently in the rebel army,
who find it very difficult to reconcile the,pues.
ent condition Of the South with that prec0n.
ceived attitude of independence to which they
believed she was entitled.
But on the other hand, we know it to be the
case that the great mass of the Southern peo.
pie, including almost every farmer, are loyal,
and are observing in good faith the new politt-
cal obligations imposed upon them by the gov
eminent at Washington Their course has
been to encourage reviving loyalty, to har-
monize as far as practicable the elements of
Southern society, to open the way for hearty
Union for the development of the material re-
sources of the South for repairing the damages
of war, and for the support Of a reunited
country.
They are thoroughly glad that peace il re.
stored, and see no use of making war among
citizens, now that 6ghting in the field b Over.
With this truthful assurance we commend to
Northern editors moderation and mutual for
bearance, looking to the future rather than to
the past, restogation rather than more dissen-
sion. and mutual smity in the place Of mutual
enmity.
