charges reported to have been made
against him during the late campaign

The substance Of tho charges made
by general Hammond is that the gi.
gantic public robberics in recon
structed Alabama, which have been
notoriously the work Of the Radical
rulers of that State, arc equally
chargcable to the Democrats, an,l
that General Forrest, rs president Of
the Alabama and Chattanooga Rail
road, had proIited by them. Gcneral
Forrest knocks the bottom out of these
allegations by showing that he never
was president Of that Railroad and
by other and equally conclusive an
swers, aud then goes for the rcdoulta
able General beyond the Mississippi;
in the following style
This is not the first time | have

portunity to General Hammond, to
whom desire to address myself il
plain and unmistaEable terms, no,
stronger than the imputation upon
me deserves, but so plain that bis
understanding of my meaning and
purpose cannot be ut fault. lie is a

Varieties in Fashion.

A few black grenadines, being made
up in advance OF the season, are being
trimmed with tiny bindings Of light
colored satin, while, upon others, bins
ruches, fringed out, and called feather
ruches,' are Of rose-color, blue, or
lavender silk.
Frosted silver enters again among
pretty things for the person or house
hold. Beads are worn by brunettes,
here and there, dividing favor with those
OF gold; while the newest soup.ladlcs,
pie-knives, etc, have bowls and blades
Of gold, with handles resembling lily
or rose, having leaves OF frosted silver.
A few buckles are being worn upon
the belt, and these are Of the Egyptian
style, with two shades Of gold, or Of
native designs, made Of yAIiously tinted
metals.
Now and then, among the old stock Of
an old house, one has the good fortune
to come upon something, beautiful Of it.

such things are sought for with zeal Just
now, but the poor success attending
makes everybody ask what becomes Of
all the old-fashioned iewelry. Belt
slides of Roman mosaic were once plenty,
but now nobody can find them.
Astrong tinge Of olive-green is seen in
some Of the fabrics already exhibited;
and the color known as GVendome
bronze" promises to be- retained in the
new season, trying az it is to'the COM
plexion, and becoming but to few.

Fashion is not without her Just
reyenges. Instead Of concealiug gray
hair, coloring it, or Disgusting II, the
most stylish Indy Of her set is the one
whose face is Us young Us ever, hut
whose locks are frosted. So that now,
among the fashionable tints of hair, one
may reckon gray. For this, the buyer
of gray hair, always compelled to pay an
unusual price, finds the commodity still
further increased in value, for, owing to
the scarcity Of elderly women and the
efficiency Of hair-lyes, the market here
has always been insignificant. 1t isnow
reviving.
Hand embroidery upon costumes of
silk, will, it is said, be very fashionable
in the new season.
Pttache Green, and pale blue are
wrought with white floss, and fdipe Of
the violet lavender is seen embroidered
with darker shade in pansles.
A seasonable time is this in which to
prepare for weddings that are inevitable
by and by. A simple but valuable we'd
ding gift, is set Of boxes, of various
sizes fitting into each other; and these
made Of wildwood are ornamented with
water-color designs by the donor. This
accomplishment is by no means n rare
one among the young ladies' OF New York.
Among the graceful things for ladies
with fine shoulders are black cashmere
shawls; single, square, aud not very
large. A handsome vine Of embroidery,
flower cluster Mt the point behind, and
border Of fringe or lace is all that goes
to make tile wrap snowy.

safely do and il that Board decided it
