The Bonnet QUESTION. The ladies
are rebelling against the winter
fashion for bonnets. The principal
OF wholesale millinery house in
forms us that his customers never
purchased "bonnet frames with
equal reluctance. The buggy-top
pattern requires large amount of
material, and makes a very small
show for it. Moreover, the show,
when it is made, is anything but
graceful. To construct bonnet over
the gig-top frame requires three
fourths of yard Of material with
ribbons, and lace, and flowers ud ia-
fnitum. The small bonnets of last
summer, that made quite as much
display, and were ten-fold more grace
ful, required less than half a yard of
material. The consequence is that
the fashion dictated to the ladies is
not accepted as fashions generally are,
and that a good many danes and
demoiselles are in open rebellion, and
refuse to accept the dispensation of
the Empress Eugene for the winter
OF the year of our Lord 1865. This
very unacceptable mode makes the
millinery trade comparatively dull;
and many discarded bonnet will be
revamped this winter, that, were the
fashion more acceptable, would find
It's way into the rag-bag.-

NEW York, Jan. 8.-The new Gov-
ernOr, Magrath, Of South Carolina, has
issued proclamation calling upon all
free black men between the ages OF SIX
teen and sixty to come to the defense OF
Charleston, willingly if they will, toreibly
if necessary.
The Richmond Enquirer suggests hang
ing certain merchants In Wilmington,
who refused to take Confederate money
while our feet was before that city.
The Raleigh Confederate says the sur
render Of the Junior Reserves by Mayer
Reese, near Fort Fisher, was an act very
damaging to his reputation.
By the Columbia South Carelinian 1t
appears that number Of Union prison
ers who had agreed to join the rebel army
to escape rebel prison pen, had been
discovered in plot to escape to Sher-
mans lines. Seven were shet and the
remainder sent to prison.
Gen Suliterro is in command of the
district of Charleston, succeeding Gen,
Ransom. Geu. &. W. Smith is ia Angus
ta. Maj Gen. John G. Brown, brother
of ex Governor Brown, Of Tennessee, Is
recovering from his wound received at
Franklin.
The Raleigh Progress says Of the
Roanoke affair, in which the rebels at
FIRST claimed 30 great victory, that it
did net amount to much, ne enc being
killed or seriously wounded on other
side.
The Richmond Enquirer reports skir-
mish on the Spring Place read, near Dal-
ton, in which the rebels captured 20 pris-
oners, II horses and 40 OF 90 stand OF
arms. No date given.
The Mobile Register reports steamer,
powerfully armed, just completed at that
place, has taken her place in the barber.
She has enormous strength and speed.
/ Richmond papers Of the 9th, in addi-
ton to what was telegraphed last night,
have the following: A violent tornado
passed ever Middle Alabama on the 9th
of Decomber, killing fifteen persons,
demslishing a large number of houses
destroying the railroad bridge on the
Montgomery and West Point railroad
twenty miles east of Montgomery. The
amount OF damage done was immense.

The country il again being agitated
With peace runners. It is said that the
Blairs are on their way to Richmond, this
time isy1stsd With authority from Presi-
aent Lincoln. It 10 alse stated that q
prsnissnt peace Democrat Of Illinsis has
Lincsla's sanction fer peace missien to
Richnond. Furthermore, it is alleged
that ssmmissisn Of distinguished func-
tiensriss, aneng them Vice President
Stephens, is on its way from Richmond to
confer with eur authorities on this sub
ject
What is more important, if true, is the
report that the commissioners sent by
Liaceln are authorized to offer to the
South the Constitution as it is and the
Union as it was, upsa the condition Of the
ultimate abolition of slavery.
We can scarcely belivs that Lincoln
has dsne So wise an act as these reports
woufd imply, but there is reassn to be-
Eeve: that something has been done to-
ward iRltiating uegetlstlons, 1t Is very
certain that Mr.. Greeley wbe bitterly
denounced the Chicago platform for sug-
gesfiag neeetiatieas, but whs, after all
has mere political sagaeity than any O
his party. has bsen urging upon Congress,
AID upen the President both thrsugh th.
Tribune and in person, the necessity o.
Offering to the South, at least once, such
terms as they might accept he knows
that the terms heretofore offered were not
expected or intended to be accepted; they
we're mere political tricks.
Ne have ahepe, little hope that .
lucid interval has occurred to Lincelr
and athat he may, by exercising littl,
eommsn sense, restore peace to the eoun
try.
