Italian Fashion.

A French jurist has lately published book on
the frightful extravaganza of les femmeS. He
speaks especially of French women, but, it will be
seen by the following extract from the BOwdOir, the
new fashionable weekly of New York, that the reign
of the miliner has fairly began in the country of
Garibaldi:

CITIZENS SEARCHED FOR ARMS IN NoRFOLK.-We

Underwood at Alexandria on the 18th instant, and
which was referred to Mr.. Speed for his opinion =?

as follows: Wherever the rebellion is declared to

The terribly beligerent phrase "dying in the last
ditch" originated with Brute Brownlow. the crazy
Governor Of Tennessee. It will be found at p. 3l4
of Brownlows onslaught on the Baptists, entitled,
The Great Iron Wheel Examined" published in
Nashville, in 1856. The passage in which it occurs
reads as follows:
ain our Southern States, where negroes have been
set at liberty in nine cases out of ten their cond
tons have been made worse while the most
wretched lazy and dishonest class of persons to be
found in the Southern States are free persons Of
color |. therefore 90 against the emancipation of
slavery altogether unless they can be sent to Libe

COMPLIMENT To YOUNG TowNsNAN.-We
find in the last number of the New York Ne
tropoEtan Record, handsome compliment to
John Harmer Gilmer, Jr., of this city. Says
the Record: although not much longer than
year in the practice of his profession as a
lawyer, he has already acquired high reputa-
ton and met with distinguished success. AS
counsel for Mr.. Turner, who acted as turnkey
of the Libby during the latter part of the war,
and who, in violation of his parole, was thrown
into prison by the Federal provost marshal, Mr.
Gilmer visited Washington, called upon the
President, and received assurances that his
client would, as a simple matter of justice, be
set at liberty"
