Summer Fash Ons-NeR STYLES In
Dress,

a writer, advocating a reform IN
dress, recommends the costume Of a
Swiss peasant" ornamental stock
ings and pretty shoes, with a dress
reaching to the knees AS "more
beautiful than any other, allowing
=" freedom of motion, and is good for
working, or walking, or dancing"
Such an innovation will meet the
approval of few American ladies, aud
IS wholly uncalled for. as the long
trained skirts are not fashionable for
street wear. At present the short
dress is much worn at balls and re-
ceptions, and is graceful in the dance.
Among the rich dresses recently made,
to be worn at receptions given at the
SEA side and watering places, were
many elegant short dresses.
A heavy silk of the most delicate
shade Of gray had a narrow founce at
the bottom Of the underskirt, headed
by row of black lace. The upper
skirt was Topped up at the back and
sides by satin bands the shade of the
silk, and the corssge, q Ia, Pompa-
dour, was trimmed protusely with
black lace edging, which makes an
effective trimming over this shade Of
gray.
White grenadine is much IN vogue
for evening dresses this season. a
very attractive dress Of this material,
recently worn, was made short skirt
with narrow founces around the bot
tom; the oYer-skirt with front and
side scalloped, and the back falling
to the top of the upper hounce of the
under skirt, and trimmed with mar
row rufles headed by white satin
piping. The low corsage was trimmed
to match, with a ruche Of blonde in
the neck.
A white India muslin had the lower
part Of the skirt ornamented with
narrow founces, and the over-dress
with one narrow ruffie surmounted by
puffs Of the material The waist was
trimmed to correspond, and the dress
was much admired as neat and beau.
tiful and very becoming to the wear
CT, whose hair, arranged in wavy
curls, was ornamented with a wreath
of natural tuberoses.
A poult de sole antique new ma
terial recently imported for dinner
| dresses--is made short, with one
| 1ounce around the bottom; an over
| skirt, quite short 10 front, and round
ing to simulate an apron, with seal
! lops at the sides, Is trimmed with
wide black lace, that falls over the
other skirt effectively, and adds much
to the richness OF the dress. The
waist and sleeves are trimmed with
narrower lace of the same design.
This dress is of the new shade, hay
ing blue tint, that cannot be worn
in the evening, as gas.light rabs it of
all beauty: bat, worn at an afternoon
reception, was much admired
A corded silk, of light blue, was
also made short, with plain skirt,
| having one row of white lace around
it; the overskirt was elaborately
trimmed with narrow white lace, as
also the eorsage, that was cut square.
with a ruehe of blonde around the
neck. White lace makes the most
effective trimming for a silk of a deli
cate blue shade for evening wear.

scarcely any ache to which children
are subject so bad to bear, and so diff
cult to cure, as the earache. But
there is a remedy never known to fail.
Take bit of cotton batting, put upon
it pinch Of black pepper, gather It
up and tie it, dip it in sweet oil and
insert it in the ear. Put flannel
bandage over the head to keep it
warm. 1t will give immediate relief.

THE WILSON COUNTY mEETIsG.

To the Editors OF the Union ana Americana P
LEBANON, Oct. 8, 1861 notice in to-
davis issue of the Banner a letter from
"Wilson," which misrepresents and mis-
states the facts relative to the Convention
holden at Lebanon on last Monday, and
which does the people of old Wilson very
great injustice The facts are these:
A few political tricksters, enemies of
Andrew johnson, believing that if they
could injure the prospects Of the old
champion of the liberties of the South, on
the first ballot, that they could defeat
Andrew johnson and the people. To &C.
complish their object, a paper writing
was gotten up, to be signed by the magis-
trates of the county, and sent to our Rep
rssentativcs, instructing them to vote for
COL Stokes of this place. So soon as the
people got wind of this trick they went to
work for a Convention, and by o ne or two
o'clock in the evening there was assembled
in the Circuit Court room the most enthu-
siastic and largest crowd that has meet in
our town since our late unpleasantness.
Our friend "Mr. Robinson, the auction
eer," deserves to share his part of the
honors of the day; for it was his stentorian
voice that proclaimed the meeting from
the Courthouse, and called together the
| people who most Handsomely defeated
said "paper writing"
The people here are decidedly for ex'
President johnson, and would ask their
Representatives to resigo, as they pledged
themselves to do, rather than see ingrati
tude done the peoples friend. CIvIs.

WHIGG cry AND DEMOCRACY HAVE
NOTHING To DO WITH THE GEN.


TEST.
To the Editors of the Union and American:
Many reasons are being assigned why
ext resident Johnson should not be
elected az Mr.. FoWler's successor in the
Senate. Your correspondent cares not to
discuss the merit Of many, or indeed of
any of the reasons which are made public,
but he regrets to have discovered that the
fact that Mr.. johnson was a Democrat, is
being covertly urged as a reason why he
should not be elected. Now, MessIs. Editors,
1t mu be said to the credit of the old
Democracy that in the late CUB ernstorial
contest they rallied their strength for the
redemption of the State, and secured the
nomination and election in strong Demo.
cratic districts and counties of Senators
and Representatives who were old Whigs.
Tennessee is Democratic Slate, and if
your readers will examine the biogrsphi-
cal sketch published 10 the Banner, show
ing how many Of the members of the o d
Wing party are members of the present
Legislature, they will see how msgnsni-
nous and party sacrificing the Democracy
have been. But a specious reason for
this is given to wit, that such is the case,
because Democrats could not be found who
could take the candidates OATH" Surely
these persons don't intend by this to say
that the Democrats we're more loyal to the
South in the late war than the Wings of
Tennessee. Again Messrs. Editors, it would
not, (wonld it?] be immodest 10 the De-
mocfacy to ask for one office in 7 Tennessee.
Brownlow and Fowler, the present Ssna'
tors in Congress are old Whigs; Senter,
the Governor, is Wing; 80 is the Secre-
tary of State, the Comptroller, the Speak
ers of the Senate and House, and, as before
indicated, about four-ffths of the members
are old Whjg9. And again, Msss7s. Editors,
if johnson is 30 obnoxious, why is not the
name of some old Democrat suggested.
They say johnson won't do, but Eheridge,
or either of the Coopers, or Gov. Neil
| s. Brown, or Jordan Stokes, or Hon. Milton
Brown, or Edwin H. Ewing, either of
these will do. These gentlemen were all
old Wing Champions. Who can give the
name of an old Democrat that has been sug
gested in lieu of that of Mr. johnson. This
outside, covert war will fail, for be it said
| to the credit of the members of the Senate
and House, they have not forgotten that
they were elected upon issues without th'
range Of old parties. FAIR PLAY.
