There is one paper in Massachu-
setts that does not think much of
broWnlow's mensgerie or the Loyal
plan of reconstruction. 1t is the
Springfield Republican Here is an
extract from it:
The plan Of reconstruction that they
put forth at Philadelphia, is, in sub
stance, that to themselves alone SHAH
be entrusted the entire control Of the
South-one- half or one-quarter OF
million of white men to govern ten or
eleven millions of whites and blacks
for q generation. This would not be
Republican government, and with the
desire for vengeance on the part OF
these long abused Unionists, and their
avowed purpose to infict it whenever
they have the power, it is evident that
military government of the South,
under the direction of the General
Government, would be much less TO
be dreaded There would be no
growth of loyalty among the masses
OF the Southern people under the
regime proposed by these men, nor do
we believe the Southern loyalists will
promote sympathy for themselves by
advocating any such policy.
Commenting on this the Memphis
Argus observes that this is rather Sc
we're upon the Southern Miscegins
who haqe been wandering throughout
the North in the interest of the
Northern Radicals; but the truth will
be readily recognized. These would
be patriots have acted upon the prin-
ciple that they and those who think
with them comprise all the loyalty Of
the South. They would have the
Southern States put into their hands,
to be wholly controlled by them to
the exclusion Of the great majority Of
the people. This is their idea of a
republican government-their con
ception Of Cancellation, and their mag
nanimity to a fallen foe. Long
abused loyalists," forsoothr' VIII
the Republican mention the name of
one of these strolling haranguers who
has not been benefited pecuniarily,
socially and politically by the war
The Republican deserves no credit
for forecast in prophecying that
''under the regime of these men,
"there would be no growth of loyalty
among the masses of the Southern
people" One might as readily an
ticipate a growth of grain from field
sown in stones. The masses Of the
South are loyal to the Constitution
and laws; but they are not hypocrit-
zeal enough to affect respect for those
who are seeking to crush them into
the earth. While every vagabond,
who finds it pleasant and profitable to
malign the South, is received with
open arms by the dominant party OF
the country, well may the Republi-
can despair of the restoration of that
good feeling which once existed, and
now requires but to be hidden to
spring into life again.

The Natchez Courier's New Or
leans correspondent has been interest
ing himself on the subject of fashions.
Here is what he says:
In dress goods stripes are all the
rage. The corsage is plain and cut
square in front. Chemisets are worn
the prettiest chemisets are made of
tulle, blond or wash lace, which is
simply folded over and fastened up at
the throat with a breastpin. The
skirts are sloped-that is, instead of
made a little less at the top than half
its width at the bottom. The coat
sleeve is still worn. The short walk
ing dress, advocated so warmly at the
North, has not yet made its appear
ance on our streets Braided BalmO-
raj skirts of the same shade as the
dress, are la mode, and l regret to
say filters are worn, though of less
exaggerated base. The Gabrielle
morning dress is much in vogue. 1T
is generally made of white alpaca, and
trimmed up each seam. The waist is
trimmed to simulate low square. A
"AAOS PfittG uICoos WIN -
sleeveless jacket of pretty contrast
ing color, is quite distingue; though,
to my taste, the little round jacket
with a loose coat sleeve, and prettily
| braided, is preferable. Skirts must all
be gOred or sloped; those intended
for house wear have long trains, while
those for walking must be shorter.
For ball dresses, gauze and the usual
light materials are worn-the skirt and
low body cut in one. For out door
dress, black silk basquines are worn
they are Of different shapes-the belt
is always worn outside of them. A
plain wasted dress can have one of
these basquines or kind of false skirt
made to fasten or be taken off at pleas |
ure. In bonnets, the shapes are so
various that it is impossible to say |
when will carry the day. Gauze wells,
attached by some handsome ornament,
are good deal worn, and / think the |
small fiat piece of straw called bonnet, |
and worn on top of the head, atfording |
no protection to the face and exposing |
all the back hair, will be most fashion |
able.
The new style of collar, in both
linen and lace, is points in front and
very narrow at the back Cuffs are
de requer with the narrow sleeve and
are pointed
