e.I IoLDyIReINIA ON THE RAMPAGE.
:. Of course you have heard that His
Excellency Governor Pierpoint, of
Eastern Virginia, has sent a copy of a
series of resolutions passed by the Leg
lslature of that State, to each member
of Congress here. These resolutions
are very much after the style of cold
tNirgtnia;n she still has a laundering
amer that Western portion, which altho'
small IN size, contains the better half of
the brains, business and enterprise, of
suppose that Governor Pierpoint ex-
poets to get back Berkley and Jefferson
counties by passing a string of long
wiuded resolutions through his Legis-
lature; or by sending them to the
Federal Congress? IF they do, they
are. very much mistaken. We don't
think so here. In fact, the general
feeling appears to be that Western Vir-
ginia should be separated from Eastern
Virginia by the Blue Ridge Mountain
Line. II that subject is ever brought be-
fore Congress, your Senators and
Representatives will be found wide
awake, and ready for the issue.
THE SOUTHERN SENATORS AND REPRE-
sENTATIVES. .Luu
There is no prospect whatever, that
the Southern Senators and Representa-
tives Will be admitted to seats in Con-
gress this session; if at all, it will be
very late in the session. The House
has just passed a resolutionthatt the test
oath shall not be rescinded; and this, of
itself, would keep out many who had
taken up arms t0itLin9Ly; in the case of
Tennessee, the matter Is entirely differ
ent, her Senators and Representatives
all being loyal men; several of them
having been prosecuted for their loyal
ty. Hence the House has invited them
to seats pending the discussion of the
matter, which will most probably end
in the admission of the Tennessee dele
CATION, and probably the Louisiana
delegation. Lia lisa ,J1at1
THE WINTER FASHIONS AND eAIETIEs,
Washington presents a very gay ap-
pearance at the present time, and will
be much more so after the HOLIDAYS, As
1t is, the avenues are crowded with
pretty women and nell dressed men. /
cannot say we'll dressed women; for.
although dressed in the extreme OF
fashion, and sparkling in diamonds and
gold trimmings, yet, good taste is often
shocked by the exhibition of new found
riches, in vulgar possession. The small
Derby hat worn by gentlemen is being
generally adopted by young ladies, and
is quite unique. Instead of the common
silk band. a ribbon an inch broad, with
narrow white and black stripes, is used
by ladies; sometimes small gold cord
Is substituted -ROwdered hair Will not
be adopted. The description of fine
French lady, of 1853, is pretty near the
thing:
Hang a bugle-cap on, and braid up your
Like die nane of colt, to be sold ut the fair.
Your neck and your shoulders both naked
Let your gown be a sack, blue, red or green,
Sala ariZaG X6@E ySIF shiT with t Tnines sixteen

Your correspondent, although n mar
ried man, often come very near blush
ing ~ when walking few yards be-
hind the dear creatures; bump go the
hoops, and Barnum's Museum is no
place. J, G,J,
