Fashion and Reality.
For the Fayetteville Observer.

For the Fayctteritle Observer.
The days of deception must
pass away, and stern realities
must be substituted for false i'm
pressions. There are too many
persons who are trying to live an
imaginary life, and endeavoringf
to deceive by seeming to be that
which they are not. You can
not change the laws of nature; they
are as immutable as God himself.
Why do some of our sex try to
substitute cotton for muscle, and
try to beautify the complexion
with the magnolia balm, instead
of using the exercise which God
has intended for the full develop
ment and symmetry of their sys-
tens?
Ladies spend hours at the tot.
let trying to thwart nature by
changing the well developed waist
to that Of the wasp, and think
that they have added more at.
traction to their persons by such
deformity. Do you ever expect
to become wives? If SO, you know
not what you are doing. Does
any man who knows anything
about the physical laws which
govern health, admire any lady
for such violation of these nat
ural laws? Surely not.
i Do you value your health above
show and false impression? If SO,
abandon at once the idea Of try.
ing to change your true character
to that of a false one.
! Do you know how to make
your own garments? Can you
! make a good cup of coffee, could
you bake a nice roll or broil &
good beeeteak? If not, hide your
faces for shame. You have moi
yet learned the first lesson of com
mon life. These are realities, these
things you will find you will need
every day of your life. Do you
prefer to sweep the street with
muslin, or move majestically in
the may dance when gaily sounds
the castanet beating time to
bounding feet, rather than to soothe
the sorrows, or calm the wan.
derer's woes? If so, I say 60 on.
you are in the right road to sin
gle blessedness. Men will forego
the inconvenience of that miss.
ing button and the needy patch
rather than tie to such characters.

The New York Constitutional
Convention has stricken out the
clause in the report on suffrage,
DISTINGUISHING persons who were
engaged in the rebellion. The
constitution of the United States
provides that ''the citizens of each
State shall be entitled to all the
privileges and immunities of citi-
zens in the several States" A
citizen of this State who is not
allowed to vote here, may go to
New York, and after residing
there specified time, becomes a
voter. A citizen of New York
who sympathised with the rebel
lion would not be allowed to vote
in Tennessee, even after he had re-
sided here one year, notwithstand-
ing the provision of the constitu-
ton of the United States, which
is declared the supreme law of
the land.

The w. and A. Railroad.

For the Fayetteville Observer.
Mr.. EDITOR: | wrote short ar
ticle that appeared in the Obser-
ger of the 3Oth May, respectfully
asking for information as to the
condition of our Railroad. Ihave
examined your issues since, expec-
ting a response from some one of
the officers OF the Company. But
not a word appeared. Why? Is
the case so bad as not to admit
of a defence That weak resort
of notwithstanding back on
ones dignity-is played out. The
war revolutionized in the social
as well as in the political
world. Men who accept office,
either with or without salaries,
will be made to give an account
of their stewardships. They ought
not to be allowed quietly to ig-
more the rights of those they rep
resent, and defy respectful inquiry.
The whole community has an in.
terest in our Road, and have a
right to know how it has been
managed. Public opinion seems
to be drifting towards the conclu
sion that our Road is dead, and
that it has been sacrificed by IN
competence. Money, scarce as il
was, seems to have been more
plentiful than business sense, in
} its management. Ask any man
who is supposed to know anything
about the affairs of the Road, and
he will answer that he ''hopes" o,
"thinks" it is safe. He knows
nothingnotwithstanding he may be
salaried-no one seems to know
anything reliable about the situa
ton. But what we do know il
! that Mr.. Rankin of East Terpes.
see has a contract for building
bridges on the line, and be
says his instructions are to do no
: work between the Junction and
Fayetteville. Why? Because
Lincoln county is to be cleft out
in the cold" and all the funds are
needed to run the Road down into
Alabama! Is nothing to be done
! to prevent such calamitous vii
lainy, Or will the officers who
represent us quietly sit down,
and ALLOW our interests to be sacri-
feed? / will refer to this subject
again. A STOCKHOLDERS.

John Carey. Again.

OOAA S01 W, 060I4s
Quite an animated war of words
has just closed between 10. G.
Carrigan, Esq, formerly editor of
the Lincoln County Neaos, and
John Carey, Brownlow's Commits
sioner of Registration. In the
course of the controversy, Mr..
Carey took occasion to deny the
truth of certain charges made
against him during the canvass
through these columns. He says
he never gave money to- Rebel
soldiers. We repeat that we have
now in our possession the original
manuscript on which is Inscribed
the amount paid for the equip
ment of the Fayetteville Guards.
Opposite to John Carey's name
appears-S2 so! And we are
further authorized to say that the
truth of the record will be veri-
fed, if necessary, by the affidavit
of gentleman whose word John
Carey aCiU not dare to dispute.
Mr.. Carey also says he 'was
the only Justice of the Peace in
the county that left the Court
and had nothing to do with said
Court while under Rebel rule. "
Let US see. At the May term,
1861, the political status of the
Court was determined, by assess
ing tax for the benefit of Rebel
soldiers families, on the real estate,
personal property, money at inter-
est, etc., of this county. The
measure passed unanimously, and
the minutes Of the Court sag that
John Carey scas present. This act
shows the bias of the Court-that
it sympathized with the rebellion
not a word is or record about
sustaining the old government
notamember left the Court because
it had passed under Rebel rule
Mr.. Carey remained member of
the Court, attending its sessions
regularly until January, 1862,
when he was elected one of the
Quorum Justices, and signed the
minutes of the Court, in his Off
cial capacity, at the January, Feb
ruary, and March terms. The
Federals took possession of this
county early in April and held it
until September, during which
time the Court did not meet, ON
account (the minutes say of the
country being occupied by an en-
envy. That must have been the
time when Mr.. Carey says he cleft. ="
Unfortunately, however, for the
truth of his statement, the Court
again met in October, November,
and December, of the same year
the "enemy" having retired
and Mr.. Carey attended at each
term of the Court, and signed the
minutes as a Quorum Justice
The minutes of the Court are open
to public inspection, and we refer
to them for a complete endorse
ment of what we have said.
