Soldiers Meeting.

: Mr.. Editor: We noticed with pleasure,
call, published in a late number Of your pa
per, for general meeting of the men Of this
District who served in tho Confederate army
in the lato war. We are inclined to think
that call suggests itself to al persons con-
cerncd, MS proper and agreeable. To record
the names Of those who fought with US aud
for US; to pcrpctuatc tho history of the gal.
liant troops given by this District to the COM
mon cause; to extend aid to those who are
disabled; and to express sympathy with those
whose protectors fell in the war, are among
tho noblo purposes of the suggcstcd meeting.
AS there is no opportunity for general con-
sultation, we take the liberty of suggesting
that the meeting be held at Walhalla, on Sat-
urday tho 22d Of September, proximo; and
all those who feel an interest in The matter
arc hereby invited to attend ut tho time and
place above. mentioned. 1t mny be found,
upon discussion and a general interchange Of
Citations; one, to hold its regular meetings at
Walhalla, and the ether at Wolf Creek. But
VIC oannos venture TO make suggestions Of such
a nature,in advance, and leave that matter to
be settled at Walhala by the meeting there

EmigratiuN.

y .>ssSs.'..
. Since manoipption, s'has. been the object,
Of every we'll wsl,Sr Of :he country to secure,
white labor n:plsSe. .of the,present freed labor
in our midst: It is still important that
shall be effected. But, before we can have
omigrants from abroad, it is of no small mo-,
ment that tho present white population shall
remain. Tho failure of tho CROPS will cause
many to cmigrate,t to the West. So, therefore,
instead of inoreasing::our population by emf
grafton, We are likely to loso from tho same
cause. Its of the utmost Importance, there.
forc, that the Legislature soon to convene
shall devise ways and means to prevent tie
wholesale emigmtion with which the State is
threatened. This can only be done, in our
opinion, by throwing into our borders, from
the West, the surplus grain Of that prolific
section, at oost and expenses. This may ena,
bio US to live for another year. The occasion
imperativcly demands that something may be
done for tho relief Of the sufferers by drought.

FAsHIoNs FOR JuLY.--We are happy
to announce decided reactionary move
ment toward simplicity of attire There
can be no question that luxury in dress
has Of late been INDUCED in to an alarm

to observe that the leaders Of fashion
now show decided inclinstio on to allow
the judiciously elegant to replace the
merely expensive We no longer see
toilets covered and sparkling with gold
and silver, these theatrical ornaments
having given place to ribbons, flowers,
laces, etc. Summer is undoubtedly a
time OF rest for the purse, and of work
for the fancy Expensive fabrics and
trimmings are not required; few sim
pie materials, elegantly made, so as TO
permit the possessor to appear often in
what the Parisians call une toilette
fraiche, being allthat is necessary, ex
cept for very dressy occasions, such as
fetes or marriages. a
The materials most in vogue at the
present moment are limos, mohalr, alpa-
ca, and great variety OF fancy materi-
ais, such as sultane, which is mixture
Of silk and wool Foulards are OF
