FASHIONS FOR GENTLEMEN.

/
following report of fashions for gentle
men:
Singularly marked and peculiar are
fancy cassimeres for the fall and winter
seasons. The bands for the outer seams
of pantaloons are strongly pronounced,
and in contrast, rather tran in relief;
but the importations from ElbGuf and
Lyons, with some Scotch samples of
double twills, surpass any styles here
tofore imported in body, texture and
beauty of tints. Stripes, plalds and
thread lines are the favorite figures, all
ornamented or relieved with wide Dor.
ders in contrast.
OF coatings, the mulberry, Vsndyke
brown, dark shades of olve-green, blue
and black, are the breads preferred.
For business and negilee, both the dress
ed and undressed surfaces of the Elbeuf
and Lyons twills, both single and
double milled; while for morning over.
coatings of the sacque genre, trlcot and
tweeds are preferred, though the bea
vers are in most general wear.
Cassimeres, cashmeres, valentlas, hg'
ured cut and and uncut velvets, plushes
and elegant reps, barithea and figured
, silks are the most favored for vestings
, Valencias in small figures are amsng the
most attractive.
Braided edges were never more popu'
lar than at present, while fine corded
edge, with row of stitching back of it
is the latest and best fabric for morning
coats. Reps aud serges for facing the
breasts of frocks and all double breasted
morning coats out to the lapel seam:
are in high vogue. Cashmere vests
} cut high and with short roll, are trim
med with velvet collar and breast
facings; while the double breasted low
roll collar vest is faced with velvet, has
a velvet collar, and the edges are bound
on the surface with velvet braid ar
: inch wide. Wide braid edges is the
styIe for morning and business vests.
The standing collar is coming in fash
ion again. It's narrow as yet, but it i:
impossible to predict the proportions i,
may yet arrive at.
; Bosoms for full dress have narrow
rnffie each side of wide center plait
but for morning wear the plaits are
plain and wide.
For boots and CATERS the box toe
seem the rage with young men, but the
style is being superseded by the ususI
square toes with rounded corners. The
box toe is formed by turning the insole
up over the toe to hold the upper from
the toes, and thus protect them.
For gloves, mallow-colored kids fol
full dress, and drab for morning wear
White gloves for pail bearers, black fol
mourning, and purple for halfmourniDg

Five years ago to-day, at high
noon, Hoods entire army assaulted
perpendicularly the Army Of tho
Tennessee, commanded by McPher-
con, in an assault in column, which
fbr impotuosity and abandon was
never surpassed in the annals of an
cient or modern warfare.
Il was Hoods intention to crush

corps Of Logan, Blair and Dodge, who
had conquered at Donnelson, Shiloh,
vicksburg, Corinth and Iuka, they
wouldn't crush worth = cent, 20 that
then and there occurred The most
remarkable and sanguinary conflict
Of the war, in which McPherson's
troops fought and defeated seven
distinct assaults on as many sides of
their temporary works.

Army ofthe Tenn, alone, which were
turned over to the enemy the next
morning under nag Of truce, testi-

which gave us glorious victory,
dearly enough bought, however, with
tho loss of Mcpherson, and 10 many

Democracy VS.. Democracy.

Il +
Porte Welch's Oskaloosa Conserra-
tor is the most independent and OUT
spoken democratic journal in Iowa.
It has way Of going for tanglefoot-
ism as o corner stone Of the demo-
cratic party, and a habit of speaking
out in meeting, which is truly re-
frcshing to Republicans, and which
sets the little organs of democracy
to yelping very much after the man
ner Of lot of worthless ours when
you have ehied brick bat among
them.
We have that paper Of July Is,
1868, before US, which our readers
will remember was just before the
Oskaloosa, Democratic Convention
met that nominated tho Hon. John
P. Irish as their candidate for Con.
gross, in the last fight in this District,
against Judge VIM. Loughridge.
The editor in a leading article is
making strong plea for an able,
honest and respectable candidate in
the then pending canvass, in the
course Of which he draws some char
coal sketches Of certain democratic
worthless who, in his opinion, ought
not to be nominated. Among them
is one which will be recognized at a
glance as our own Fat Boy, to-wit:
Col. George Gillespie, Gillespie, Gil
lispie, Gilispie. Gilaspi, Gillaspie, Gil
aspy, Gillaspaic, or Gillaspy which
are the various and sundry names
given in our democratic exchanges
to the distinguished citizen of Ottum-
wa, who is 50 soon to be transplant
ed from our midst into the Executive
chair of Iowa.
In publishing this extract, we hope
our readers will bear in mind that it
10 from one of the leading democrat,
ic papers in this Congressional Dis
triot, and that it cannot, therefore,
be charged as Republican slander.
But hero il is:
Nor do we favor the nomination
Of q mau who has grown fat OIL of

warranted by his education, and un-
deserved on account of his well
