The correspondent of the Richmond Whig,
writing from the White Sulphur Springs,
Greenbrier County, Va, under date Of August
22d, says:
The arrival Of General Rosecrans by the
stage Yesterday created quite stir among the
male sojourners here, among them many who
figured largely in other days in the councils of
the nation. The object OF his visit, before hls
arrival, was understood to be for the purpose
Of conferring with General Lee and others as
to the best means Of placing before the North
statement Of the real feeling OF the people OF
in Staunton 10 zee Mr.. Stuart and compare
views with him, but that gentleman was here
at the time, General Rosecrans had, however,
o long interview with the Hon. John B. Bald
win, which be states was very satisfactory to
him. ....a
AS soon as dinner was over, General Rose
Grams sought General Lee. and they conVersed
freely for some hours. There sat in the same
room two general officers, who, early in the
bloody drama not long closed, figured as the
leaders Of TWO opposing armies, talking of peace
and couciliation and restoration OF the gov
ernment. And what Robert Lee said then and
there the South said, for he is the embodi-
ment OF her sentiment, and she is willing to
confide her honor, her interest and her all to
his keeping, Knowing tndI WuhtoFoi no uoeo 10
right. General Rosecrans, who is very flu
ent talker, and who expresses his opinions
with soldierly want OF reserve, as your cor
respondent knows, said that there we're many
honest, well-meaning men in the. North
and West who have been led to believe by
the MISREPRESENTATION Of the Southern cor
respondents Of the Radical press. as we'll as by
The speeches Of the leaders of that party. that
the people of the South are just as hostile to
the Union now as during the war, and as much
embittered against the Northern people as they
were when both were in arms; that they hate
the negroes with deadly hate because they
have been freed, and but for the strong arm OF
the military would reduce them to state OF
practical slavery. and perpetrate all manner Of
outrages upon them. he proposed, therefore,
that the general officers Of the Confederate
army, representing as they do the valor, the
ehiyalry and the truth Of the South, unite and
lay before the Northern people, in tangible
form that cannot be disputed, The true state OF
the feeling as he had found it everywhere IN
his travels South.
General Lee denied that the people OF the
South are inimical to the Union.~ They want
peace, ami long for it. This 1s their universal
sentiment as far as he has been able to ascer-

THE USE OF UNITED STATES TROOPS IN THE

GENERAL GRANT.
WAsH1saros, August %.-General Grant has
sant instructions to Generals Meade, Thomas
and Buchanan relative to the use OF United
States troops to aid the civil authori1es IN
their respective departments. The obhgauons
OF the Federal military officers and soldiers, IN
common with citizens, to obey the summons OF
marshal or sheriff, must be held suDordlnate
TO their paramount duty as members OF per-
manent military body. Hence troops can act
only in their proper organized capacity, under
their own eficsrs, and IN obedience to the I'M
mediate orders Of those officers. The ofhcer
commanding the troops, summoned to the AID
of q ms-shal or sheriff, must also judge for
himself, and upon his Own official responsible
ty. whether the service required Of him is law
oful and necessary, and compatible with the
, nroper discharge Of his ordinary military du-
ties: and he must limit his action absolutely to
proper aid in the execution of the lawful pre-
cent exhibited to him by the marshal or sheriff.

has neither beauty of contour nor compactness
of construction. The steel busks are too mar.
row to support the 4Agufe dor Storm 81 proper
foundation for the front Of the corsage, and are
often made of steel Of so low ssluahty that it
breaks asily. In giving an order for corsets
it is necessary to send the measure around the
chest below the arms, from beneath the arm
to the hip, the circumference Of the hips and
the waist measure.
French women, who are very particular about
their figures, have their corsets made in three
pieces, laced at the sides as we'll as the back.
The busks and whalebones at the back are very
long. An authority in matters of fashion says
that the waist may vary II to % inches, accord
ing to the general proportions Of the figure.
There can never be q prescribed size for the
waist, since fashion changes the length and
position OF it. A line drawn halfway between
the hip and the lowest rib gives the point at
which the tapering waist reaches it's smallest
dimensions. The pannier as now worn pro
duces the appearance OF q small waist.
The material of the corset should be very
firm and strong. FGmsy and elastic materials
soon stretch out OF shape. Fine coutil is e1-
pensive but it is economy to buy it, as it wears
well. The corset should be large enough to
meet in the back.
The popular glove-Attiug corset is worthy o!
commendation. 1t is made without cores, and

spring-latch fastening is great improvement
on the old-fashioned clasps. The lower hook

on the latch opposite, adjusting the other hooks

BILE steele, adapt themselves to every undula-
ton Of the figure.

GIANT PHANToMs ON A BATTLE GROUND
Most of our readers know the location Of three
bald headed hills-rendered so by the ravages
of the late varying between the Charlotte
Pike and the river, in sight of, and some two
miles distant from the capitol. The outer
lines of the Federal works may still be seen
along their sides and crests, but there are no
houses, trees or fences to further break the
dull monotony of their outlines. Let any one
who is desirous Of witnessing most startling
natural phenomenon, which throws the mir
age OF the plains, and the mist visions of the
Scottish coast entirely in the shade, ascend the
central mound in direct line from the city, on
any clear day, about an hour by sun. When
half way up the declivity he will see other hills
palpable even to grass clumps and little stones,
gradually rising in the air, beyond the ones he
is ascending. If he pauses, these huge phan-
toms remain stationary if he advances they
continue to rise before him, until within few
yards of the intrenchments,w when they suddenly
vanish into nothingness, like scenes in dis
solving view How long this strange freak Of
mist and sunlight has held court near US, it IS
impossible to say, for except superstitious
whisperings of negroes, nothing has been def
nitey known until within the past week. The
scientific wherefores Of the foregoing we will
not pretend to give at present, but trust that
some of our professors and savans will, IN a
few days, lay before Us thorough explanation
of this new wonder.-Nashvi21e Banner.

A SNAKE CRAwLs INTO AN INFANTS SToM-
AcH. The Bucyrus (Ohio) Journal states that
during the great snow q lad near that place
went out to potato mound to get potatoes;
after clearing away the snow, and breaking into
the mound, he found a kind of nest in the
straw, in which was q compact ball of what he
took to be large ball of string such as our
wool men use. He brought this in with the
potatoes and laid it on the baby's cradle near
the stove. His mother just then sent him off
to neighbor and continued about her work.
He was gone an hour, and when he returned,
upon looking for his ball, he found 1t had re-
solved itself into pile of squirming snakes,
many Of which were seeking the warmth OF the
infants body, and one had actually entered the
infants mouth. A cry of alarm from the boy
attracted the attention Of the mother toward
the cradle, and, seizing the child, sough to ex-
tricate the reptile, but was too late, and it &C.
tually drew itself within the baby mouth and
downits throat DIR. Ingraham was sent for,
but he recognized the snake as being the com
mon "serpens noptus, and therefore perfectly
harmless. He declined worrying the baby, with
medicine, and the child seemed unhurt by. its
accident The mother declares, however, that
It's appetite is much increased, and that in its
sleep 1t frequently Kisses loudly. QD
