a Lady's Remarks about Mems Ap.


pRreI.
a lady correspondent of the Hudson
Register points to tight pantaloons and
skirtless coats as fashions unbecoming,
ridiculous and hardly less objectiona-
BILE than fitting hoops themselves. At
ter asserting TO the universal condem-
nation of the latter, she says:
"But, in the meantime, think the
gentlemen have forgotten, in their zeal
to promote grace and modesty among
the ladies, that they themselves do not
always dress either gracefully, becom-
ingly or modestly-I write it advisedly
the present fashions for gentlemen
are unbecoming, ungraceful and i'm
modest. Are Byron collars, and the
very economical cravat known as Sail
or's Tie, becoming? Are tight, straight
pantaloons gracefCl2 Is n roundabout
modest garment for grown man? L
doubt II Byron looked well with his
neck encircled by one of those
articles so irresistibly remindful now
u-dayS OF negro minstrels but, al
lowing that he did, all gentlemen are
not Lord Byrons. However, we hope
that the good sense of the present gem
Grafton of young men will nip in the
bud this inappropriate fashion. They
have displayed SO much discrimination
and taste concerning ladies' apparel,
let us hope that they will apply
the same TO their own. The light
pantaloons are already prevailing
fashion. Peg tops were graceful,
moderately used, n gentleman was quite
Irresistible when they flourished, but
there must be u change, and of course,
to the extreme. 1t would be impossible
to do Justice to this subject of tight
pantaloons, and I therefore suggest to
all young men who array themselves
therein, to follow the example of Simon
Pappertitt, and regard their neither ex-
tremities in the first convenient bit OF
looking-glass, and think, unless pos
his share, they can scarcely hold them
selves with his complacency. As to the
present ridiculous short coats, 1 can
only say that they present to "A person
at all belligerent, a temptation scarcely
to be overlOoked.n

NORTH CAROLINA

A citizen of Indiana who went to
Raleigh, N. c., about a year ago to en-
here n few days ago. The citizens of
Raleigh held n meeting not long since,
at which they resolved TO devote day
to behowering Rebel graves, and that
all stores must close up and all mer-
chants contribute for the pupose. The
Hoosier, when applied to, said he would
provided Federal graves were decked
as well as Rebel ones. He was imme-
diately put on the black list, and noti-
fed that he would not be patronized
any more. In addition to this, the Ra-
leigh folks vetoed all the bills they
owed him, and gave him notice that
they had no money for Abolitionists,

EXCURSION TO cLAYsvILLE.

The Fourth of July Picnic of the
Baptist Mission Sunday School went
off finely Notwithstanding the unfav-I
orable weather. The eexcursionists met
at the Clay street Church and after in
tlulging in festive and patriotic melo-
dies were about to start for the depot
when it commenced TO rain which had
a discouraglng tendency, and we con-
cluded we must sswait for the wagon

the procession moved to the depot where
large number of ladies, gents and
children had already gathered. Tt was

be cheerful and determined to have u

THE MIssIssIPPI LEyEEs,

The bill for the improvement of the
Mississippi Levees was read to-day in
the Senate, and will be called up for
final action very soon. Its passage will
complain that the South is not provided
tor in the bill recently passed for the
Improvement of Harbors. The reason
of this neglect is that the bill was based
upon engineer reports made when it
would have required an engineer corps
of a hundred thousand men to survey
some of the Southern harbors.

THE NASHVILLE AND CTEATTASOO-
GA RAILROAD.

A press Of matter relating to the Phila-
delphia Convention, and desire to spread
before our readers the earliest and fullest
intelligence Of the proceedings Of that i'm
portant body, consumed our space on yester-
day to the exclusion Of important local mat
ter, and prevented as full a notice Of the
Nashville and Chattanooga railroad con-
Germs as we purposed to give. The Reports
Of the President and General Superintend-
ent viii be found this morning in another
column, and a corrected list Of the officers
elected by the Board Of Directors.
We refer the reader to the reports Of
President BURNs and Col INNEs as 2 clear
and satisfactory statement Of the last years
operations Of the Company. Mr.. BURNS
took charge &C the affairs Of the Company
from the hands Of the United States mill
tary authorities, and has had all the difficult
ties Of a complete reorganization to contend
with. lie has met with many obstacles, but
his report was approved by the Board, and
viii be received by the public as judicious
administration Of the business Of the road
His reelection TO the Presidency is a de-
served reward for the energy and fidelity
with which he has performed the varied,
difficult, and delicate duties of his position.
Coils. IENEs and YATEs-the former the
Chief Superintendent, and the latter the As
sistant were reelected. These gentlemen,
as well as the General Ticket Agent, J. w.
BRowN are comparatively new citizens.
They have exhibited perfect competency
for their positions, and the Directory have
acted wisely, and in accordance with public
sentiment in retaining their valuable SER
vices.
The Office Of General Freight Agent has
been committed to Maj. E. II. EWING. As
a matter of course it was expected that he
would be continued in service, and it was
done by a unanimous vote. His punctual-
ity and energy, combined with a thorough
knowledge of the mercantile interests and
necessities have made him most popular
officer.
OF the Secretary and Treasurer, F. A.
GAINES, it is not necessary to speak. His
name implies capacity, accuracy and up
rightness; and there are no other terms in
which to describe that efficient officer.
JOHN w. THOMAS, the Auditor-an ac-
complished accountant and man Of sterling
integrity in every relation of life. The rec
ord would be incomplete without a reference

FORD. Mr.. B. has been connected in various
capacities with the Company ever since its
organization, and has so performed his
duties, that without him one could
scarcely imagine that the Nashville & Chat
tanooga Railroad was an institution. The
Resident Engineer, JAMES II. GRANT,
Esq, has been connected with the road for
many years, and is perfectly familiar with
his duties.
The second year Of the new management
opens auspiciously, and we have high hope
that it will result protitably to the Company,
and to the community whose interests are so
intimately blended with its success.

much complaint is made Of the squares
dropping from the cotton stalks. Farmers
who were not long since boasting Of the
prospective yield Of their crops, are now
quite crest-fallen, A soaking rain now
would not ensure an average yield.
