The Coming FashiOns--NO Grim
Oiines--Large Bonnets, Shert
Dresses! o

A late letter to the Philadelphia North
American. thus foreshadows a revolution Of
great moment to the ladies:
A great revolution is spoken Of in the
fashions for next winter No crinoline. large
bonnsts. short dresses. IRE some Of the
measures of this proclaimed coup d etat =
At present there are still crinohnes to be
seen, but they are Of the most modest d.
mensioDs; there are short dresses in the
streets. but there are sweeping trains in
saloons As to bonnets, there are bounetsl
and that is all that can be said of the
smallest objects that ever have poised on
the top ofthe largest possible chienons! To
replace these by large, advancing -fronted
bonnets seems an impossible attempt-but
from that verv reason, it will doubtless be
attempted Meanwhile theTe is one good
deriyable from the masses of hair and coils
attached to the human females head, under
the imperceptible hats of the day; that is,
to prevent the inevitable colds and rbeuma-
tic pains to which they must otherwise be
lisble during the inclemencies of the winter
season. hope in my next letter TO be able
to give you more full details of the coming
as we'll as present styles of toilettes.

Mr.. w"lbridgo has issued tho follow

SIulll
Hiram WRIbrIIgc to War Democrats.
Mr.. W"lbridgo has issued tho follow
ing address:
ITO Var Democrats:
"The political contest, now imminent.
Compels us to review our position. and
deside on our future action in the light
afforded by the past.
Let me entreat you to answer to
yourselves these questions:
Were we right or wrong in resolving
to stand by our country and its flag
when traitors desperately struggled TO
latter?
'Were we right or wrong in our de-
termination to spurn all party ties that
threatened TO weaken the efficiency
or trnmmel the freedom of our efforts TO
maintain the integrity of our Union?
Were they right or wrong who
sought to paralyZe the national arm
appraised in self-defense against secnS-
sion and dtsuniOn, who proclaimed the
war for the Union a failure after hav-
ing done their best to make it so. and
whose partial, short-lived successes
were hailed with hearty cheers along
the lines of the rebel armies
as there II rightful difference in your
regard for the soldier who died fighting
to preserve our nationality, and him
who poured out his lifc-6lood while
battling for the rebel cause?
MY questions sufficiently indicate
the answers feel prompted by the in
stlncts OF true patriotism. Hating
none; denounCing none; wishing i'll to
none; yet honor and love those who
struggled and fought to uphold the
Union, as do not those who did their
worst to overthrow it.
"HaVe we, then, who stood by the
old flag, gained nothing by its triumph
but the privilege of being ruled nv
those who fought for its prostrntion?
DO the beaten rebels turn TO dubious
loyalty, with all the rights they eniOy-
ed before they plunged into treason
think not. l hold that the lOvnl
States and people achieved by their
successful struggle n right to complete
security against future rebellions on
such grounds and with such imDulsps
as were held to Justify that of lSGi,
u hold that tho present Congress is
elnphatlcally right in demanding that
the States lately in revolt shall no long
er enjoy fictitious and exceptional
power in our national councils based on
four millions of their people. whom
they Obstinntely refuse to educate nr
enfrnnchise, and whom they divcst of
the arms and deny the military or,nn-
iZHtion and discipline required TO rem
der them efficient i'll our national de-
fence.
I'm short, hold that Congress is
substantially right, the President gene
rally wrong, in tho contest which hns
alienated them; and l propose to aid
and net with those who sustain Con
gress and oppose the President, until
the controversy which now conyuiscs
the Republic shall have been brought
to n final issue. 3'''
F." Never doubling that such issue will
BIO the logical contamination OF tJ,o -
tories achieved by Grant, Sherman.
Thomas and Sheridan, l respectfully
solicit your concurrence in securing il.
Yours, truly,
