TIE PRINCESS OF Wales AND THE Fashions.
There is no doubt that we owe much in mat
ters of dress to the Prln, of Wales. Not
with the memory Of living man has there been
o costume prevalent among English gnls 30
admirably adapted tor the display OF youthful
figure as that wo hlye now. 1t is altogether
an excellent style OF dress, artislically fine, and
capab be of admitting that play OF t'ncy 10 dc
tail which prevents any costume from becom-
ing monotou Gus. We do not include, of course
the camel-humped gown, which some women
are now bent on eXageeratlpe into the most
ludIcrous proportions; but tho ordinary dress,
with Its tigbt-ftting body, ils plain front,
it's traiu-sklrt, and it's tight sleeves. 1his
is really very era ,efu) dress, although
it is likely to lose it's charming simplici y
and neatness by the introd action OF sleeves
slit up to the elbow, and falling down from
that polHt. Now this dress. and it's modldca-
tions, we owe chiefly to the Princess of Wales,
whose remarkable good taste is shown In al
most every article OF attire she wears. 10 put
the point brlefy-since the Princess of Wales
came to England, the fashion OF ladies' dresses
30 far rs that has been allowed to move within
certain limits, has devoted itself 10 the deVel-
opment OF costume appropriate to young lD-
stead Of to married women And 1t 1s much
better that English fashion, following the ex-
ample of the Princess Of Wales, should lncom-
mode n certain proportion OF middle aged
women by the Introduction of costume spe-
cIallv fitted for girls than that English FASH
ion, foil ,wing the example of the Queen, should
prescribe form OF dress IN no way suited TO
those for whom pretty costume should spe-
cially be designed.-Once a Week.

A Washington dispatch to the New York
Tribune Gays:
In June, 1855, there we're received at the
Treasury Department three. large woeden
boxes, said to contain fAluablas, turned over
by the War Department ior safskeeping.
These boxes have BEEN lying ever since in the
vanlts Of the Treasury, but were to-day opened
through the efforts OF q United States sena-
tor, some Of whose constituents were sup
posed to be Interested. committee COM
posed Of officers OF the War aud Treasury De-
partments witnessed the carrying out of the
joipt order Of the two departmental The box
es were found to contain valuable diamonds,
pearls, necklaces, watches. earrings, brooches,
rings, chains, seals, and all manner Of jewelry,
to the value Of many thousands ofdollars. The
most valuable property, however, which the
boxes contained was very large amount Of
gold and silver plate. consisting Of pitchers,
salvers, spoons, knives, urns, &C., some of
which was thought to have been more than q
hundred years old. One ofthe boxes contain
ed some very rich wearing apparel for ladies'
silks, velvets, laces, &C., besides an incredible
amount of Confederate notes and bonds, and
notes Of State banks. There WAS also small
amount Of specie, both gold and silver The
boxes were about the size OF ordinary dry
goods boxes. and the value Of their contents
is yariously estimated at from $20, 600 to s100-
the family crests, initials, or mono9rams ofthe
owners. and all were OF the finest and most
costly description. The boxes were sent by
the Provost Marshal General Of the Army Of
the Tennessee to the War Department in his
city, and Secretary Stanton turned them over
to Treasurer Spinner, subject to future action.
The valuables are supposed to have been taken
possession of by Sherman's men IN Georgia and
other States where they had been abandoned
by the fseing inhabitants. In some cases
they were taken from banks, which had ceas-
ed to do business upon the approach Of the
Federal army. The officers OF both depart
meuts are uncertain Of their duty in the mat
ter of the disposition Of this property. Some
hold that it should be returned under proper
restrictions and proof TO the owners if they can
be found. Others believe the articles belong
to the government, under the laws Of Con-
gress, and that they should be sold, and the
proceeds placed in the Treasury; while still
others affirm that neither the War nor the
Treasury Department has any authority in the
premises, and that q special act Of Congress
should be called for. N thing has yet been
done. and the valuables have been returned to
the vaults Of the Treasury.

cotton at twenty cents it win not pay to plant
corn. am told by one of the most intelligent
men in the district, that Edge6eld will not
average, on unmanured land, more than Six
bushel of corn to the acre. The game land
will give four hundred pounds OF seed cotton
to the acre. equal to one hundred pounds OF
lint which at twenty cents, will produce $40.
Six bushels Of corn st even 81 so per bushel,
which is higher than it sells at in this district,
will only give 50. II, however, the corn crop is
short and tton falls much below twenty
cents, the farmers will undoubtedly suffer.
All the merchants here, with two or three
exceptions, are energetic and hard working
young men. What ia now wanted is railroad
