South They will involve us in war Of ct
least twenty years duration, conducted at an
enormous expense and with terrible loss Of
lfe and ending, not in reunion, but In the inau-
gulation of . series Of insane experiments, on
gigantic scale, in regard to amalgamatlon aud
mulatto republic At the South they viii
justify every statement made by jeff Davis, and
rivet more strongly the chains by which he
binds the masses of the people to his throne
and drags them to destruction. just SO long
as we maintain the Union and The constitution
we have a good cause and q fair prospect of
success. The moment we supersede the constitu-
tion and transform the Union into an abolition
society our cause Ii lost, and we have no right
to compel the South to return to government
which has really become what they imagined il
to be when they rebelled.


Push forward our armies to destroy the mill
tary power BY which JEFF. Davis enthrals the
Southern people. Follow up our bayonets by
our ballots, and show these people that we
come to deliver and not to destroy them.
While we show them the power OF the
Union by our conservative armies, let us
show them also, BY our conservative
votes, that the Union 10, as II ever was,
the only guarantee Of their constitutional
rights Then bullets and ballots, working to-
gsther, will inaugurate q revolution at tho
South close upon the heels Of the political
revolution at the North. Then, 10 six months
from November, we shall see the Southern pso-
pie punish the psrfdy Of their Internal sedu-
GERS by hanging them in every seeded State
and Voluntarily returning to the Union. The
fearful sufferings of the rebel masses have only
been borne because they feared the greater
su6erings Of abolition rule. Convince them that
these fears are groundless, and they will endure
no longer. A conservative triumph will kill
JEFF. Davis and end tho rebellion. An aboli-

In one Of his late letters from the Bluff city,
the correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
makes the following remarks about the fashions
in Memphis


Southern ladies' have always been ahead Of
their Northern sisters in the adoption of the
latest styles. Paris fashion plates, previous to
the war, found more attentive students in New
Orleans than New York But the blockade put
sudden stop to the frequent changes from
B,oiTe antiqRe 10 some other outrageously named
article of dress, and left the Dixianc bon ton to
make such amendments as their prudence might
dictate to the repudiated styles Of the spring of
1861.


Southern fashions since tie Inauguration of
the great struggle for the rights of cotton, have
been characterized by plainness and simplicity
that would be credi'a5le had they the recon-
mendative quality Of being voluntary. But the
facts do not warrant the belief that they were.
The attenuated forms of many Of the fair
Memphians led me at first to conclude that less
clrcutous equipsge than that worn in the "yul-
| oar North had been agreed upon-thst the fair
sex had entirely discarded the article so renown-
/ ed for the poetic charm it gives the wearer, and
the prosaic manner in which it takes up the
| whole sidewalk. But on inquiry learned that
! the blockade had made virtue Of a necessity
that the expansive attire was the one most
/ admired, but that the collapsed edition had been
| adopted in some cases as unavoidable in
short, that the article of female wearing apparel
| best understood by the term crinOline, was
difficult to obtain, hence the patriotic daughters
! of the sunny South had to appear in a'condensed
| form. Now that trade with the North has been


resumed, the Memphian ladies will again assume

WHY THE OVERLAND TELEGRAPH Is DowN.-ln
explanation Of the cause of the non-working oil
the Overland Telegraph the Alta says


The facts are, that the warm rains aud melt
ing SHOWS have flooded the country between Salt
Lake and Pacific Springs distance oil over
200 miles-to such an extent that 1t has been
impossible to cross them. In some places the
officers Of the Company-one OF whom has tray
eled over the grouod think that the poles and
wire have been carried away, which would cause
considerable delay TO replace There are but
few bridges over the numerous streams, as they
are easily forded ia the summer and fall, when
the water is low At Green river there is fer
rv. but none, as far as we can learn, over Hams
Fork, Blacks Fork, Big Sandy aud Little Sandy.
The rise in these streams has been increased by
this season from the vast accumulatons OF snow
of the last winter but, as the waters decline
RAPIDLY there is prospect that they have now
gone down sufficiently for the men who are out
to get the line up. by a dispatch received at
the telegraph Office last evening, from Salt
Lake, we learn that the wire has been put in
working order to Fort Bridger, a distance OF
100 miles east of Salt Lake.

Poor Greeley is down on his knees tear

come North and help US. -"If they don t

hope. remaining. Look at this, silly
sniyeller - half coward, half traitor.!-
Here 1.-The North we have twenty-three
millions of white men, and in the border
States we have million Of slaves. In
the South. they have three millions of
negroes, who are escaping to our lines as
fast as possible. Yet poor frightened
Greeley and his gang Of fanatics have the
impudence to declare that if these three
million of darkeys do not come over to
our side we twenty-three millions of An
glo-Saxons are lost forever Can any
thing be more silly than this? What
would we do with the, three millions O!
slaves if we had them? Half of them, arc

The other half might wash for US, serul


for:us and cook for us--tbey cook very


badly-but as to fighting we believe tha
