TIE TROUBLES IN TENNESSEE

Of August /, from Nashville, says:
Generals Cheatham, Nanny and Bus hrod
johnson sought and obtained an interview
to-day with the Military Committee Of the
Legislature. The conference lasted two hours,
and was cordial and satisfactory to both sides.
The ex-Confederate generals expressed most
decided hostility to the programme OF forclble
resistance to the State government inaugura-
ted by the Conservatives and rebel politicians,
who are urging the, people to resist the consti-
ted authorities, characteriziDg them as citi-
zens in war and generals in peace. They
pledged themselves to go through the State, if
necessary, and use their personal influence to
promote peacean put an end to the opera
tions OF the Ku-Klux. General Cheatham
spoke with deep feeling, saying thai. he kept the
parole which be gave when he surrendered al
WAYS about his person, and felt that he was in
honor bound to yield quiet and honest obe-
dience to the laws. There will be q couven-
ton IN this city tomorrow of thirteen general
officers Of the late Confederate s1my to take
into consideration what they can do to pre-
serve the peace Of the State.

These should have composed the staple in
stead of the winding up Of this letter, but after
all there is not much to say Of them that has
not been said; the real truth is, that excepting
the brides, who are always fresh and new, crlmp
and pretty, ladies at the watering places this
wear look very much as if they were wearing
out their old clothes. Occasionally one sees
an elegant white morning dress and sometimes
an elaborate evening toilette, but ordinarily
bright little jackets are worn over some faded
skirt, and the evening dresses are the relics OF
last winters campaign, refreshed little by
tiest dresses by Tar are the full robes OF fine
white muslin, founced, and worn over dresses
of colored or bright colored silks. The silk is
generally gored plain; the muslin is tied
up in q huge potJ behind, with a wide silk
or ribbon sash, the shade Of the dress. OF
course there are the usual number OF col
ored silks and dowager MORE antiques
worn, with lace shawls, but these are sta
pie and require no particular mention. There
is one style, however, which is O novelty, and
very beautifuI-these are the white dress
embroidered in variegated colors. The
"Jardiniere" dresses are generally made with
plain skirts and open "angel" sleeves, and re-
duire very little trimmings. The little Marie
Antoinete fchu in lace or en- suite with the dress
has taken the place almost altogether Of black
silk summer cloaks. There are also variety Of
little capes made en- suite, with the pretty pink
ed muslins and light clothes which form COM
plete costumes as tasteful, yet as economical as
chm be desired.

There is not the least indication of an en-
lareement OF the bonnets-the hair is worn
higher, the chignon larger than ever. The lat
est style of chtgnons are composed OF large hol-
low plaits or pufs, and though immense in size,
are fight upon the head. The side curl, Still in
vogue, is large in proportion.

People who imagine that the world has NOV
ed in any particular direction are astonished
every once in while to find by development
Of facts that the fools are alive in as large
numbers as ever, and that the world after all
stands pretty much where it did years ago.
Periodicals in this country have been surprised
to find English journals of responsibility and
of tight lacing, supported moreover by the
apparently eager testimony Of the larger part
OF their constituency. Confident that Ameri-
can civilization had progressed beyond the
stage Of European barbarism, they have conf
IDENTIFY declared that no school in the country
would be tolerated where unnatural compress
sion OF the body was made part OF the regular
such schools, and the most cruel, the most
rigid, and most exacting Of all is not located
in New York or any Of the large cities, but
it is in O progressive town in the progress
i've State Of Ohio. At this school the young
ladies on entering are not only encased
in a corset, which is an absolute wee,
but, they are forced to wear shoes with
broader than shilling. 1t is with the greatest
difficulty that girls can stand upright in these
shoes at first, but they are compelled to walk
two miles in them every day and In O lane near
the house until they have acquired the faculty
of walking on them with ease. After this
frightful exaggeration, the French heel, which
two and a half or three inches high, seems
moderate by comparison, and the pressure
being forced wholly upon the front of the foot,
the young ladies are compelled to walk in the
acknowledged style Of elegance, upon their
toes. The largest corset which: it is said,
was ever used in the establishment, was one
measuring seventeen inches round the waist.
This was upon very fas girl, and was brought
together three days after her entrance, and
kept upon her ght and day. for four weeks.
She tainted away, It was stated, every once in
while at fret, but her health was not perma-
