The Enterprise hopes that the first
cargo Of Yankee girls, intended for this
port on the Carson, will not be consigned
to US. We commend the shrewdness of
the Enterprise. If we acted as consignee
there would be small show, on our recon-
mend, for the birds Of that concern ;-ex-
cept Dan, whom we would give a first
rate notice. 10 would probably fix up a
real pretty song on the subject of feminine
immigration =; but that would mt bring
any favor.

The low-necked dresses of ladies nfe
the theme ofsmall jokes by lewd fellows
of the baser sort, who might be in bet
ter business. In our opinion II is with
the ladies II matter of taste, of which
they might be allowed to judge at dis
cretion: the wits who would ridicule
them are themen who had better look at
home, and rs they live in glass houses,
abstain from throwing stones. If they
don't like to see the ladies, let them
look the other way. There was n great
party in the Fifth Avenue Just before
last Lent, and the ladies, in the m1tter
of dress, were extremely low minded;
so low were some OF them disposed to
go, that Jones says to Snooks. "Did you
ever see tho lilke?" ''No, says Snooks,
''I never did since L was wenned." >"
That was outrageous, but presently the
rascals met the belle of the evening, n
splendid creature, and exclaimed,
''NYhat galaxy of beautyw "Well, 1
declare" says Snooks, 'syou have the
advantage of me; thought galaxy
included constellation OF beauties?"
$50 IL does, +" said Jones, "and don'tyo
see the milky way3" On they passed
and soon encountered u magnificent
woman, with such frank developments
rs TO leave no room for doubt as TO the
quantity of her charms. t'There, ~ says
Jones, t'is the finest woman in the
house," "Fact ;" says Shocks, ''she out
strips them alll"-HdrPeT's lEdIdEiHc.

VnIainous CaptaIn---EIIs Fellow
Officers RepudIate His AequRIn.
1ance.
The Ohio State Jom-na, relates the
following:
In April last, n day or two previous
to the departure from Camp Chase of
one of the last infantry regiments
raised in this State, IA beautiful wo-
man, aged only sixteen years, went
to the camp to visit her husband, to
whom She had been married only II few
weeks. Having accomplished her oh
ject, she made preparations to return to
her home in a neighbOring county, and
her husband applied to his Captain for
permission to accompany her us far ms
the depot in this city. This was re-
fused the Captain, however, informed
the soldier thathe was going to COlum-
bus, and would see that his wife was
properly cared for. Placing the lady
in n carriage, he brought her to this
city, but instead of conveying her to
the depot took her to n hotel, and there,
by persuasion and threats, induced
her TO forget her allegiance TO her hus-
band.
A day or two afIer, the regiment went
to the field the eTring woman did not
see her husband again, and kept the Sc
eret of her shame locked within her
bosom for many months. Stricken with
remOrSe she mt length wrote her husband
of the great wrOngdonehim by his Cap
tain, and begged forgiveness. Frantic
withgrief the soldiers sought the Captain,
and charged him, in the presence OF his
fellow-officers, with the dhmning deed.
The worse than william did not deny the
charge, but admitted il. Incensed mt
the cool, unprincipled villiany OF the
brute, charges were made out against
him by n number of the officers and for
warded to headquarters, but before ac-
ton could be had thereon the regiment
was mustered out of service.
Arriving mt Camp Chase, the regiment
was u few days since finally discharged.
In the mean time thewrOnged man died
ofa broken heart in nm Eastern hospital.
The dny after the discharge, the officers
OF the regiment, who had assembled in
the State House yard for the purpose of
having n photographic picture made of
them, by n prominent artist of this city,
were seated in n circle on the grass
awaiting tho movements of the photo
grupher, when II motion was made by
one Of the number, requesting Capt.
- to withdraw from the group, as
they had no desire to associate, in any
capacity, with scoundrel and muir
derer. The motion was unanimously
carried. The rebuked Captain with.
drew from their midst and Immediately
left the city for his home in northern
Ohio. .

The Savannah Herald calls attention
to the very great advance in the price
of cotton cloths and other dry goods in
that market within the past few weeks,
and adds: 800
"consumers know that, as when
Confederate money began to depreciate,
it is now almost impossible to chase up
the advancing price to some fixed figure
of few dhvs' duration. This Is by
some attributed to the depreciation of
the currency. This idea is not, howev-
or confirmed by the ruling price OF gold,
which has experienced but very
slight II any advance during last
month"
The same paper adds:
"Itis apparent to the most careless
observer Ofpassing events that much of
the spirit and energy that characterized
the commercial and internal Improve
ment classes OF our people anterior to
the war, have reappenred since its ter
minatiOn. And perhaps no illustration
of the fnct Is moro conspicuous than the
CELEBRITY with which the railroad system
is being reorganized and rcsuscitated
after the torrible shock TO which it WIS
subjected during the war. II that de-
plorable contest effected no other good,
Il certainly conferred one advantage on
us by the demonstrations 1t afforded of
the value OF railroad systems in time of
war, and of the length of time for which
railroads could be Kept safely running
without repair or additions TO the roll
ing stock, and ofthe extreme difficulty
of permanently interrupting line of
railroad communication, even by In
tlicting upon il what might seem 70 be
almost an IrrepRrnble injury. Another
benefit was thnt 1t taught our people
energy and promptitude in the repair
and 1arnnStruction of railways and Cd
-ucated them up to a degree of prof.
cheney in this valuable art which be-
fore was not only unknown, but quite
uncomfortable"
