The button mania has become, it may be said,
almost universal, and the manufacturers are reap

not put up in sets, but are of all colors sorts, sizes

ambition Of women to have them, no matter what
they cost, so that their string exces that Of their

THE FASHIONABLE BUTTON MANIA.
sAGACITY OF THE HORSE.

| Fashion, especially among the female portion o
the upper classes, is one of the most unrelentint
tyrants that rule the present age This is fac
conceded by all, and that it is so is greatly to bt
deprecated by all persons Of good sound sense
Yet, Notwithstanding it has been ridicuied BY th'
press, condemned by the pulpit and represented OF
the stage as deforned monster, it has many yo
taries, often the unwilling slaves Of its power, be
cause, forsooth, few leaders in the interest Of tn
tyrant proclaim that this and that shall rule th'
hour, no matter how ridiculous it makes them
selves or their followers appear in the eyes Of th'
world
But the latest innovation is the new fashion
lately adopted BY must we say, silly women, callet
the "string of buttons" These strings CONSIST o.
a stout cord on which innumerable buttons are
strung through the eye, varying in quantity quail
lty color and value, according to the length OF the
purse or begging qualifications ofthe owner The
fashion was first introduced in New Albany, about
two years ago. by the little girls, who by begging,
buying and trading soon succeeded in making Their
strings quite lengthy and the purse strings OF theil
parents and friends corespondingly short.
In proof of this we will state that a gentleman's
daughter, of this city, has string which cost him
$l75. There are others who have them worth
from $50 to $75, and we are informed thata young
lady Of Louisville has one valued at 81, 900. Eve.
ry girl must have string of buttons and they are
called small affairs that cost from s25 to $50 each.
To such an extent has the passion taken posses,
sion of the girls, that they think of nothing else.
A few days since gentleman who was importuned
by little girl to buy her some buttons, went into
dry goods store, picked out abouta dozen and
handed them to her. He was astonished when
the salesman informed him that 50. so was the a
mount of the bill. .....s..,

ever had been such q murder committed here, and
whether there was such drug estabishmentas as
that of Mr.. Epping. From these facts, it seems
beyond doubt, that the mysterious murder Of Lyons

DISTURBANCE AT BRANCHvrLLE.
We have been informed that, on
Tuesday last, meddlesome fellow,
named NEEDLES, and his wife, who
keep shop for trading with negroes
in Branchville, were arrested for dis
orderly conduct and locked up.
Some twenty-five negroes attempted
to rescue the pair, and, failing in this,
the negroes surrounded the prison
and succeeded in handing NEEDLES

his way out and also liberated his
wife. The negroes then-headed by
Meddles-assembled in front Of the
magistrates house, who had him mr.
rested, 10 wreak vengeance on his
head, but not being able to gain ad
mittance, adjourned to Bush Harbor,
o place nearly lie distant from
Branchville, where the party was ad-
dressed by Rev. Randolph and other
colored speakers. Tuesday night,
NEEDLES, with gang of negroes,
armed with n double-barrelled gun,
was promenading round the railroad
depot and swearing to take the lives
OF certain parties who were instru-
mental to his arrest. BE cursed all
the rebels in the country, and said
the negroes were the only white men
in the country. One Of the proprie-
tors of the hotel finally took tho gun
from him, after which he and the
negroes scattered. The people in the
neighborhood were in terror that
something serious might arise from
this matter. Charleston Mercu.y.

Tho Result.

tionsin the Northern States:
We congratulate the people of the
North, no less than the people of the
South, on the recent elections. Their
significance is, that there is intelli.
gence enough in the country to save
it from becoming a prey to corrupt
combinations of ambitious politicians
and soldiers of fortune, under mon
grel mobocracy, alternately their
tools and prey, and reelking with all
the elements of anarchy and despot-
ism.
The question propounded in these
elections was, the enfranchisement of
the negro-the Africanizing of the
Southern States. All the baleful
consequences Of war of races-with
standing army, paralysis of bust
ness, cessation of agricultural pro-
duc'ion, destruction of credit, per-
sonal and governmental, und i'll
security to person and property,
have begun to rise up before the
vision of the people of the North, as
the inevitable results of the radical
policy.
New York, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton, the great centres of mind and
political movement-the clubs" of
the commercial and financial wheels
of the country-hnve passed judg-
ment upon this vile scheme for secur-
ing party ascendancy, amidst the de-
grndation and destruction of the
whole Union. Their voice is the
prevailing will OF the great Suites of
the neutrality-suspicious., New York
and Ohio. A growing and trium-
phant party has undertaken the grand
mission, to draw the United States
from the m@lstrom towards whose
vortex the radicals have been surely
and rapidly driving them. The con-
servative good sense of the Anglo
Saxon-the instructive sympathy of
the white race-havc at length come
to the rescne, and. although now
tossing on the mad waves of revolu-
ton, the country will, in the next
Presidential election, be snatched
from the devouring jaws of utter and
hopeless ruin.
Meantime, until the radical party
goes out of power, we of the South
must be patient, firm and hopeful.
We may not expect immediate relief
from the expressions and dangers
that have been imposed us. We
should not be willing by compro-
misses, to patch up hollow truce
with our enemies, for their benefit
and our ultimate destruction. We
must live against time, and await our
deliverance.
The Augusta C0nstitutiondlist says:
New York has declared that this is
the white mans Government.
New Jersey has proclaimed that
this is the white mans Government.
Minnesota has proclaimed that this
is the white mans Government.
Wisconsin has proclaimed that this
is the white mans Government.
Even massachusetts has proclaimed
that this is the white mans Govern
ment; and the ''hub of the universe"
-Boston-has proclaimed that this
is the white mans Government by
1,5O0 majority.
The white people of the North, the
East and the South have proclaimed
it. And what does all this mean?
1t means that the white race is to
govern the American Union. It
means that the white people of the
South are to govern the South. It
means that the recent elections of
radicals and negroes in the South are
fraud and an outrage, and that the
whole Infamous farce will be set
aside.

The President made an oral expla-

rise to rumors that the work on the
road had again been stopped by in
divldnal interference. He supposed
that they were founded on proceed
lnga IN the nature of appeal, in the
District Court of South Carolina,
between the city Of Columbia and the
South Carolina Railroad Company.
This company WAS not party to
these proceedings. So far as the
rights of this company were con-
cerned, he believed that they were
fully convinced, by the recent deci-
sion of Chancellor Carroll, in the
matter of the injunction which termi-
mated the case between this company
and the South Carolina; and while he
demands the authority of decision

result as stockholder. to bind any
body, it certainly could not affect
this company, not n party to the
suit. He supposed. however, that,
in prospect of the large recent sales
of stock, that these reports were only
intended to be used to get good bar
gains. The stockholders had road
seventy miles long, seven-tenths of
which had been completed. AS to
graduation, culverts, trestles and
cross-ties, ready for the iron, at
cost not exceeding SIS, 500 per mile,
and with fine iron bridge, which
would be completed in thirty days,
included, and that, when the whole
was finished, it would not cost more
than Sc, 900 por mile. This he
thought a pretty fair start, and he
wished to impress its value upon the
stockholders. Nearly all the bonds
of the company were in the COM
pany's safe-the floating debt was
utterly insignificant. Public neces-
sites and public requirements de-
