For The second time since the formation
of the Federal Union our Government is
compelled to deal with 4 revolution. Dur
ing the last five months active preparations
have been going on in Louisiana for the de-
posing OF the Kellogg administration by
force. The movement was aimed not only
at the State officials, bu; was intended to
include all the county and municipal oflf-
GERS who adhered to the Kellogg faction.
\ military organization was formed under
the name of the ''White League" ostensi-
bly, 70. The purpose Of conductiuga political
campaign, but only those who were will
fully blind were deceived by this pretcnsc.
Some four weeks ago the revolution was
inauyurated in the northwestern section Of
the State. The colorcd people are largely in
the majority in the parishes bordering on
the Red River, and the local officers were
Republicans. AriAcd bands Of 'White
Leagucrs" suddenly appeared ia the parish
towns, and drmaded the resignation Of all
the officers, threatening death in case Of re-
fIsal. in this way eight or ten parishes
were captured. NO DOUBT many persons

n NEW STYLE IN WOMEN's DREss.-
The Springfield Republican contains
the following:
Long white trowsers for ladies' are
very much worn on the Continent.
These trOwsers should be quite plain
for wearing in the day time and i'm the
street, but those for evening wear
should be made of fine cambric or
muslin, Ornanen.ed with embroidery.

of a muslin dro>s, the ankles buried, as
it were, in several rows of the lace
frills or hounces of fine cambric or
muslin trowsers? Surely, also, when
a young lady of eighteen or ninetet II is
dancing 1t Is more modest, as it is cer-
tainly very becoming, to see the limbs
hidden in lace trilled trowsers of cam
brio than the present fashion. AS said,
this mode is very much seen on the
Continent among French, SpaniardS,
and especially Russians. When at
Ihrcclona.a Il few years ago, remarked
that every lady wore trowscrs, some
plain, some richly trimmed with lace
frills or flOunces. Two or four inches
of the trowsers were visible, setting OF
the small Spanish foot to perfection. /

used to wear most becoming trowserS

very fine cambria or muslin with rich
lace frills up the calf OF the leg and in

frills of her trowsers just touched the
instep, but the rest of the trowsers
were visible under and through the
transparent skirt of white muslin.

THE CHEROKEE ALPHABET.-The
Cherokees are the only tribe of Indians
who have an alphabet. Its origin, as
detailed by Colonel Boudinot, is sim
gular:
Sequoyah, who could not speak a
word Of English, one day saw the Gov
ernnent agent writing, and thence
conceived the idea of enabling the
" Indian 10 talk on paper He shut
himself up in his cabin for year, en-
during tae Iibes and .ieers of his ig-
norant race, who pronounced him
crazy, until he came forth with Il per-
feet alphabet, and established his claim
to rank with the first inventive minds
of the country. The alphabet was
formed in lS22. 1t consists of seventy
eight characters, and is, strange to say,
most easily learned by children. Soon
after the alphabet was perfected, type
was procured, and a newspaper estab-
lished called the Cherokee NeniJ. one
half in Cherokee, the other half in
English. The paper is still in exist
encc as the CHer0hee -1drocatc.

The Wheeling Register of the SO'h
ult., says that Slessrs. Waggencr, of
Mason, Foster, Of Writ, and Moreland, Of
MoDongalia, commissioners appointed 10
assess for taxation tho railroad property
in the State, were in this city yesterday.
They proceeded over the old llemrded road
last evening, going out as far as West Al
exandcr and returning, special train
having been kindly at their disposal for
this purpose by the Baltimore and Ohio
authorities. We believe that this is the
only piece Of railroad property in this
section Of the State that has not yet been
assessed, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
and tho handle road having already
made their return.
We understand that it is The intention
Of the Commissioners to assess the proper
ty Of the Chesapeake aud Ohio road this
year and test the validity Of The act under
which this Company claim exemption
There seems to be very little difference Of
opinion among lawyers as to the uucOustitu.
tionality Of the act Of 1868, proposing to
exempt the property Of The Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad from State taxation, Atall
events the railroad commissioners have
very properly resolved to make the assess
meut, and the State officers will proceed to
collect the tax ifpossiblc. The gentlemen
composing the commission are thoroughly
competent for the work before them and
will discharge their duty faithfully and
we'll.
