The recommendation Of the President
It is a quite common remark that the
recommendations of the President amount
TO nothing. as they viii not be adopted by
the radical OF malignant majority in Con-
gress. This is evidently the view of the
Albany On. " Argus, for it says, with
great pungency and force:
ale makes theoretic recommendations,
based upon constitutional law, to men who
mock at all constitutions, and whose will
is higher law than mans enactment or
Gods word. He speaks Of State rights to
6 Congress that had prepared itself to re-
ceiVe his message by the acknowledgements
of dozen States. He speaks of economy
TO body of speculating Legislators. He
talks of moderation and prudence to banks
which issue an irredeemable paper. He
councils the people to counsel each other
70 pay their debts, when we have just set
an example of public indebtedness such as
no nation has equaled. He advises the re-
trenchment Of currency In face of the fact
that our paper circulation has risen in Eve
wears from two hundred millions to seven
hundred millions, and the cry is for more.
He asks 8 Congress whose members have
been chosen by the corrupt contributions
of the protected interests, to modify the
tariff to revenue purposes and he records
the opinion that no favored class should
demand freedom from assessment, and the
taxes should be distributed so as not to fall
unduly upon the poor, but rather upon the
accumulated wealth of tie country, in the
face of the Congressional action and Judicial
decision which exempt the immense class
of Federal bondhoIders from all participa-
ton in the support Of State and municipal
burdens"

of shapes. The three-cornered, the Glen
garry turban, the cavalier, intended for a
riding hat, and the ''Lady Derby" made
of black velvet, with round crown. The
last-named hats are also made iu felt, and,
if it were not for the long veil, might be
supposed to be mems hats.
There are at present no novelties in dress
fabrics. But there is what is called ga
rage" for expensive materials. So many
costly goods have never before been sold in
New York during the same length of time
as in this season.
Dress skirts are very full, and are usually
cut goring, though the straight skirt is
still, to some extent, in vogue. The rich
est materials are ornamented In simple
and not shoWy manner, if at all. The round,
high waist appears TO be the favOrite, tho
Jackets have many admirers. The square
of Pompadour corsage is considered sty
lish, and to a good figure is becoming.
There is also a. revival of a style of the
seventeenth centUry-the dress being cut
low and square in front, but higher in the
back, large box plait at the back, which
hangs loose from the back, and the skirt
trails for yard and half.
Basquines, made of heavy beaver cloth
and velvet, are the leading style, but circu-
Quilted skirts, made of black silk, black
alpaca, etc., and stitched OF trimmed with
some contrasting color, are much worn.
They are heavier and warmer than the bal
morals and have a neat appearance. Bal
morals are still made in almost every style,
of white and black, gray, mixed, striped,
and red, and are heavily trimmed. The
red skirt trimmed with black are worn to
some extent For evening wear skirt of
white moreen founced is considered neat
There is new invention, recently intro
duced to cover the lower part of the hoop.
The cloth is cut goring and double, aboGt
half yard deep, and is neatly trimmed
with black or red. according to the color
of the skirt. 1t has eyelets, about three OF
four inches apart, upon the upper edge, and
is laced upon the hoops. This not only
prevents the hoop from soiling, but locks
well, and with it the large hoops are man
ageable.

The Rev. DR.. Hawks delivered lecture
before the Historical Society Of New York
some years ago, in which he related an
interesting story, illustrative Of female
heroism. Among those who formed part
of settlement in South Carolina during
the Revolutionary struggle. was poor
widow, who, having buried her husband,
was left in poverty, with the task upon her
hands of raising three sons. OF these the
two eldest ere long fell in the cause of
their country, and she struggled on with
the youngest as she best could. After the
fall Of Charleston, and the disastrous defeat
Of Colonel Buford, of Virginia, by Tarleton,
permission Was given to some four or hYe
American females to carry necessarles and
provisions, and administer some relief to
the prisoners confined on board the prison
ship and in the iails-of Charleston. This
widow was ono Of tho Y0iuutovrs upon tnls
errAnd of mercy. She was admitted within
the city, ,'and, braving the horrors OF pestl-
lence, employed herself to the extent OF her
humble means in alleviating the deplorable
sufferings of her countrymen. She knew
what she had to encounter; but notWlth-
standing, went bEaVely on. Her misslve
of humanity having been falhlleds she left
Charleston on her return; but alas her
exposure to the pestilential atmosphere she
had been obliged to breathe had planted in
her system the seeds of fatal disease; and
ere she reached her home she sank under
an attack of prison fever, brave mar4yr to
the cause of humanity and ndpatriotism. The
diving mother, who now rests in an un-
known grave, thus left her only son the
solA survivor of his family. to the world s
charities, but little did she dream, as death
closed her eyes the future of that orphan
boy. That aon became President of this
free Republic, for that widow was the
mother of Andrew Jackson.-N. 7. Neaos.

Army of the Potomac, they make 149, ,259.
1t Wasl understood in Richmond that, in
addition to the numbers here given, General
Grant was receiving heavy reinforcement t.
all through March, and it is known that
toward the close of that month he was
joined by General Sheridan with his splen-
did cavalry. Altogether, it seems prob
able that the force in front of Richmond
and Petersburg nearly approximated, if it
did not reach, 20O,0 900.
To meet this immense array General Lac
could muster not more than 10000 men.
The Rumber surrendered by him is stated
in the report as 81, 7,8O5; but we believe the
number on duty, with arms in their hands,
the morning of the day on which the sur
render was made, did not reach 5000. If
it be said that 4O,000 men behind such
defences as had been CONSTRUCTED around
this city, ought to have been Eb1e to resist
100000, the reply is that the skillful ma
neuYering of General Grant compelled Gen.
Lee to so extend mis- lines that his works
were at no point sufficiently manned.
Where his line was first broken the men
stood ten or fifteen PAGES apart.

[FIom the Montgomery Gala. Mail.I

From the Montgomery Ala.) MaiI.I
We had almost determined to pass un-
noticed the frequent insulting illusions to
the women of the South which some Of the
Northern papers are disposed TO contain.
The men who brought on the late unhappy
war by lashing the people of the South to
nbrenzv, are now endeavoring to make per-
petual the feud which sprung up between
the two sections, and was quieted only with
blood and desoiation. The conservative
men of the South, however much they des-
pissed many of the prevailing traits of
Northern character and loathed the despis-
able hyTocracy of Northern Radicals, have
been earnest in their efforts to restore har-
mony of sentiment throughout the country,
and dispel the error that the Government
is the Northern people. It has been the
effort of this class of politicians to impress
upon the South that the whole country, is
the Government, and the people Of the
South are as much Interested in endeaYor-
ing to mould the policy of that Government
as the people of New England or any other
section. With this view we have couneeled
q cordial support of the Administration;
and had hoped that leading men, joined
around the Presidential chair, from sll
sections would lay aside the memories of
the past and strike hands in behalf of con-
stitutional States Rights in the Union.
These efforts to render less bitter the cup
of Southern sorrow are met, IS formerly, by
a party at the North, who, cowardly as
Falstaf during the war, are brave as that
hero when the battle is over. Cautious
not to attack Southern men in the day Of
bullets, they do not hesitate to attack
Southern women in the piping days Of
peace. "The women of the South are
illiterate and unmannerly," says The New
York Tribune, at whoss heels few satellites
follow to catch up and repeat the witticisms
and bon 1sots Of the philosopher
The women of the South need no defen-
der Their angelic virtues, in the days OF
darkness and desperation, often held up tbs
tagging hearts of the people. For four
years they labored in behalf of the cause,
the success of which was the dearest wish
ofethefr hearts. The trials through which

We are obliged to Mr.. stanton for these
facts which, it is presumed, don't lie. It
must have gone against his grain to print
them; but truth, like murder, will out AS
the World observes:
'FrOm this statement we see that If all
the negroes in the United States army had
had the misfortune to be only Yankees OF
Irishmen, their presence in or absence from
the ranks would scarcely have made an
appreciable difference in the gigantic sum
total of the national array. AS negroes, Of

Il il liable, also, that the heaviest
force ozshegroes ever at one time in the
army, is reported for July IS, 1865, three
months after the fighting was all over, and
it is not, by any means, satisfactory to
know that, of the 200, 900 men still borne
on the national rolls, 85,O24, or nearly one
half, are Of this privileged race.-Nash. Gas.

WINTER FASHIONS.

The New York Pest has a long review
of the winter fashions, the feature of which,
it says, is their showiness and the expen
siveness of almost every article of ladies'
apparel. Everything is gay and festive.
Tinsel and gold ornaments are much en-
ployed on hats and bonnets, and wells some
times covered with gilt spangles. Few
plain colers are worn, red being the favor
tie. There are red petticoats, and red
trimmings for petticoats of black, white,
gray, or striped. and red for children's
dresses and cloaks. For bonnets, velvet is
the favorite material, with small, rich
ostrich feathers as the elegant decoration.
The front is sometimes made of velvet aud
the crown of satin, in some contrasting
color. The floating veil, which is fully a
yard long, and about three-fourths of a yard
wide, is considered indispensable with the
empire bonnet. The small wells, though
still worn to some extent, are no longer
fashionable.

The Radical journals make no conceal

instigator, agent and controller of the negro
insurrection in Jamaica. He was Radical.
He was the agent of the Ant-slavery Socie-
ty. It is not easy to perceive what par
ticular business such sn agent had where
slavery, per Sc. had no longer an existence.
But he was the personal and official en-
bodiment Of the Radical idea. He was for
the Negro as against the Anglo-Saxon-a
renegade in race, John Brown in philoso-
ply, Black Republican in politics. He
has paid the penalty which the law of the

[From tho Richmond Wing ]


From tho Richmond Whig.l
The report of the Secretary of War throws
light on a matter of history in regard to
which much interest has been felt by the
public. We refer to the strength of the
Army of the Potomac, under the immediate
command of Geneaal Meade, but directed
bv the Lieutenant General, at the two i'm
portant periods of the Spring of 1864, and
the Spring of 1865 General Meade cross
ed the Rapldan, on the 4th of May, 1864,
with I2O, $50 men. General Grant says, in
his report that 'sby six o'clock of the morn
inW of the 9th, he General BuInside) was
leading his corps into action near the Will
derness tavern. Burnside's force the
Ninth Corps) numbered 10000. Thus, in
the second battle (Wildern ess) after cross
ing the Rapidan, General Meade had under
his immediate command, one hundred and
forty odd thousand troops. From the best
information we can obtain, General Lees
armv commenced this series of battles about
seventy thousand strong, and received no
reimbursement, except the stall force of
three or four thousand that came from the
Valley under Breckenridge, shortly before
the battle of Cold Harbor.
After the battle of SpotsylvaniA Court
House, re-e1forcements, IN large numbers,
we're sent to General Grant from Washing
tor; and upon his forming junction with
General Butler, he was re-enforeed by the
whole strength of the Army of the James.
In tbe meantime General Lee had been
compelled TO weaken himself by sending
Breckenridge back to the Valley, and dis
Matching Early, with some fifteen or twenty
thousand men, to meet Hunter, then NOV
ing on Lynchburg. This reduction of force
was not compensated by the accession
gained from the garrison of iRichmand and
the force between this city and Petersburg
under Beauregard.
On the Is March, 1865, ssmontbsbe-
fore the fins successful assault on Lees
lines, the strength of the Army of the Po-
tomac is given by Secretary Stanton as

stated; but the number of troops present
