The Columbia Carolinian, of Tuesday, c tains a three-column account of " one of most remarkable meetings" ever convened Som li Carolina, which was held in thut c on Monday, the occasion being a celebrati by the colored men of the city of the pass: of the Sherroau-Shellabarger Bill, investi them with the right of suffrage and rec nising their political equality in tho eye the law. Tht* Carolinian says : " In anticipation of the event, their Co mittee of Arrangements selected the speak for the occasion, and it is a significant a noteworthy fact that, notwithstanding t prcssnce in the city of their Northern frier aud sympathizers, the gentlemen called up to address this assemblage were our own t izans, who had been identified in pcr6on wi thc war-men who have been disfranchis bv thc same act which has created this pol I ?cal (quality between the two races, and j I men who heartily possess thc confidence j the entire community." The speakers on thc occasion wera Ht W. F. DeSaussure: formerly a Senator in Ci. gress. Hon. Edward Arthur, Hon. W. H. T ley, James G. Gibbes, and Rev. David Pic cit and Beverly Nash (b-uh colored). The Carolinian, referring to the speech) i says : The sentiments altered o:i the oecusit ? ire worthy ol tho time, w irthy of our pe nie, black and white, and are a living ei dence of ?hat honor which, thank God, st stirs the common heart. The speeches ' R.-v. George Pickett and Beverly Nish (bo col ?red), were mode's of excellence and d ? serving nf all praise as emanations of sen si li thought fruin a source that bhould he appr dated. Speaking lor th'.ir race, they treat, in the present condition of affairs in a spii of common sense, which wc confess wad n anticipated, and which encourages the beli that tlie relations between tbc white and cc tired men of the Stale ure too intimately co nected to permit an antagonism or diversil of interests now or hereafter.'' Gen. Wade Hampton made an i-HeCti< address, which will be published in full. 1: I said : J M Recognizing fully the new oLligatioi imposed upon the colored mau as a citizei he advised him as to the manner in which 1 should hereafter conduct himself as a men j ber of tho community. He alluded not onl to the ueccssity of education, but of an idet tity with the people among whom the negr was born and renred, whose interests were i no way different from his own, and whos policy was to be in the future as much th work of the black mao as of the white. Th speaker referred likewise to the importanc of harmony in all the relations between th two races, as essential in determining the we faro of the people and securing a permancn peace and prosperity." j The following is the substance of the speec made by Beverly Nash (colored) : FELLOW CITIZENS : I have been taken so mi what by surprise and am not prepared to sa; all that I want to, on this occasion ; but w know what we have come here for. We hav cjm? to celebrate the right of suffrage-th one thiug needful to place us on a romtnoi platform as citizens. The question has beei asked, whether we are prepared for this con ditton of things or not ? I do not blame ou people for their doubts on this subject, becansi I our former condition was calculated to maki them doubt ; but whether we are pn-pared o? not, we are DOW entitled to vote, under thi recent law. I must confess ?hat 1 do not liki that law in all respects, because it disfran chiscs gentlemen in whom we have moro con fidence than anybody o'.se, and forbids then to represent our country ns it should bc re presented in tho Councils cf the people. Mi doctrine is, that every man, whether ignorani or not. who is compelled to pay taxes, i: entitled to vote. It is a matter of public pol icy that we should be, because there is adis j contented element in our midst, composed o the ignorant people of both classes, whicl would be greatly disturbed if they were pre vented by a Convention of the State from ex ercising the right to vote, and we should havt a revolution in a teakettle. For the purpose of peace and quiet, therefore, in our State, ] waut to see everybody vote except the wo men. I believe, my frieods and fellow cili z-ns, we are not prepared for this suffrage, But wc can learn. Give a man tools, and let him commence to use them, and, iu time, he will learn a trade. So it is with voting. W may not understand it at the start, but, in time, we shall learn to do our duty. lt has been said that Calhoun was master of South Carolina ; Clay the dictator of Ken tucky, and Webster the emperor of Massachu setts. But hereafter we are to vote for prin ciples, not men. And we have good men in our midst ; men we can trust ; men who nre j our friends, and have proved, by their acts, tbaj. they are the friends of the State. In these gentlemen we must have otifidence until tbey have proved that they do not de serve it. I do not believe that there is a man .ti this district who, if you will reason with him about these things, will not agree with what I say. Wc recognize the Southern white man as the true friend of the black um i. You see upon that banner the words 1 United we stand, divided we fall;" aud, if you could see the seal of thc society which that .banner represents, you would find the white man and the black mun standing with their arms locked together, as a type of the friendship and the union which we desire. We feel that the white man has not utider .-tujd the black man as the black man has un derstood thc white mau ; and if the citizens of South Carolina had all acted, Rfter the close of the war, as these gentlemen have done to day, and spoken their kind sentiments as free ly, our State would not regret the loss of twenty' thousand Colored citizens who have gone abroad because they had not sufficient confidence to stay. After thc remarks we havo heard tc-day, we believe (bera is a bet ter time cou.!ug. Twelve months ago, Mr. Gibbes said : "Fellow-citizens, weare willing to meet you halfway ;'? and we are glad to say that the representatives and public men of Richland district have done so on the present occasion. Wc feel that we are understood I here, and we beiieve that colored men will hereafter enjov the rights and privileges which now belong i their race. Tlyre is less pre judice everywhere South of the Potomac against the colored man than there is North of it. [Applause.] I saw in Washington, a i few days ago, men more violently opposed to j our advancement than any gentleman here ; and we know that" the States of New Hamp ! shire, Ohio, and perhaps some others, have re I fused that political equality which exists and has been accorded in South Carolina. It is our duty, therefore., to identity ourselves with this soil. Here, we have grown from child hood to manhood. Many of us, whito and black, have been brought up together ; we love the people, wc respect their honor; we know their worth, and 1 ask whether, under these circumstances, having the power to do so, we ought not to p'jtiti'jn Congress to re move the disability which bhuts out that por tion of our pe ?pie from the elective franchise in whom we have such long tried confidence. If we are to have a convention in tho State for the purpose of changing its constitution, let it be a convention full of intellect and power. If the black man is to cast a vote, let him rest that vote upon a standard of abil ity, and not be contented to see a body of 1 men who are not competent to discharge the ' high duties that will be required of them. ' We know the old sajiog that " fools rush in > whoso tagti? iou to If ead." li, ihsreiore,. < you elect ignorant men, yon will Lave a bad constitution. Give tn, then, the good men of thc State. I would rather trust him who took up arms and went to the battle field, and has come home with bis honorable scars, be lieving in the justice of his cause, than he who skulked from duty, and now claims to be a Union man. [Cheers.J Such a one is unworthy the contempt of even a negro. I would rather trust General Hampton riding at the head 'of his columu, and shouting to his men to follow, than auy man who has stay ed at home awl, when his country was in danger,, hunted for an iron-clad or a rat hole. [Cheers.] And so would you. [" that's so."] Wc don't believe in those people who, since the war, have dodged around the corners, de claring they were 'Union men." [No, no.] When I hear a Southern man say he was a 11 Union man," I know he is a traitor. Whee I hear a Northern man say he was a South ern man during the war, I know he is a trai tor. But, when I hear a colored man say he was a Union man. I believe him from my heart. Whenever the telegraph announced a Southern victory, the black man trembled ; but whenever the tidings came of a Northern victory we rejoiced, because we felt that we were that much nearer freedom. To-day, thank God, we enjoy the results of that free dom. We stand before the world invested with a political equality with the white man. We can vote. Hon. Edward Arthur [sotto voice.] You are more than our equal, Nash, in one sense, be cause we are disfranchised. Thc Speaker. Yes, sir, and we are not go ing to let the halls of Congress remain silent until you are permitted to vote- It is the men of your class, and your ability, who recognize our wants, aud whom wc desire to seo re invested with the power of doing good. It is with the men of your class with whom we want to vote on the great questions of the day, and by whom wc wish to bc counseled and directed. It is not our desire to bc a discordant cle ment in the Community, or to'unite the poor against the rich. We want to live together in harmony-to ?0 to work and restore the lost credit of the State. A? General Hampton ba* said ,: our destinies depend upon each other." The white man has land, the black man bas labor, and labor is worth nothing without capital. We must help to create (bit capital by restoring confidence, and we can only restore confidence by electing proper men to lill our public offices. There arc said to be sixty thousand colored voters and forty thousand white voters in South Carolina. Look what a power you have for good or for evil ! But, fellow-citizens, be sure you use that power with intelligence, and to tho end that South Carolina, wirb which your interests are all identified, may enjoy the prosperity which it gives. >Vhen citizens come forward and meet u; as gentle men have done to day, we have no right to doubt thu future. I look upon to day as our fourth' of July. And if we do our duty, %c shall prove ourselves worthy of the great privilege with which we have been invested. It is true, the majority of colored men may not bc able to vote intelligently, but you will be educated. In the four weeks preceding the first election in this district, you will be taught more about voting than the people ol Ireland cr England ever did know. There never wa< a people who have gained so much as we have done. But a little while apo we were slaves. Now we are treemen. It has been declared that we shall have a voice in public affairs. In these public affairs we must unite with our white fellow-citizens. They tell us that they have been disfranchised, yet we tell tho North that we will never let the halls of Congress be silen: until we remoVe that disability. Can we afford to loose from thc councils of the State our first men ? Can we spare judges from the bench ? Can we put fools or strangers in their position? No, fellow-citizens, no! Gloomy would be that day, indeed. Wc want ia charge of our in terests only our best aud ablest men. And then, with a strong pull, a long pull and a pull altogether, up goes South Carolina, (Cheers). MEETING or COLORED CITIZENS.-Thc Charleston papers contain long reports of the proceedings of a meeting of colored citizens held in the Military Hall building, on Thurs day even ng, and at which H. Judgo Moore presided. The room was filled to overflowing. A platform was adopted, after which there was considerable speech-making. One of the speakers, P. L. Cardcza, seconded tho resolu tions, and warned the freedmen against the seduction.? of tfieir former masters, who now pretended to bc- their friends* He said that the right of suffrage was only given to them temporarily, and if they did not use it wisely, their Northern friends, thc radicals, would take it away as suddenly as they had given lt. THE COLUMBIA MEETING.-Thc New York Times, of Tuesday, in its comments on the meeting held in'Columbia on Monday last says: It seems strange to read that, among the speakers who came to applaud and encourage these neproes, were Gen. Wade Hampton, Hon. Wilham F. DeSau>sure, formerly United States Sciatcr, Hon. Wm. Talley, Edward Arthur and James Gibbes, all eminent leading men of the State. Two colored men of note also made addresses, and the whole spirit cf the meeting is represented to have been of the most cordial good feeling. Such a fact, goes a great way to explode tho studious mis representations of Southern feeling, sent up or inveuted here by extremists. That, in the heart of South Carolina-a State in which thc blacks are largely in the majority-one of the foremost of the Confederate Generals, and himself once the largest slaveholder in the ceuntiy, should meet his former chattels in this frauk and manly style, and so unreser vedly accept the situation, isa fact to out weigh volumes of hostile invective and mis representation. MARYLAND.-It seems that an attempt is to be made to reconstruct Maryland, aud she may be known ere long as District No. G. Mr. Thomas, one of thc Representatives from Maryland, is leading the ball, and on Monday he introduDed thc following significant reso lution, wh;ch was passed without debate : Resol ccu', That the testimony taken by the Judiciary Committee of the last House of Representative*, in pursuance of instructions of that II msc, concerning, to some extent, public affairs in Maryland, and now in custo dy of the Cleik of the 'House, bo committed to thc Committee ?rn the Judiciary, with in structions .0 complete the inquiries which the last commiltec was instructed to make, and to inquire whether the people of Maryland have a State Government republican in form, and such as Congress can, consistently with the requiremet cs of the Constitution of the Uni ted States, recognize and guarantee. A MILITARY MASSACRI. IN MEXICO.-One of the mast terrible tragedies connected with the wars of modern times, has just transpired in Mexico. By order of Escobedo, who signs himself gcneral-in-chief of the army of the Republic ?? Mexico, one huudred and twenty three prisoners were brutally murdered in cold blood. Th) Ranchero, a Mexican journal, says : The order was executed on the 3d inst., at 7 o'cloc.': ii; the evening; or, rather tho exe cution of one hundred and twenty-three pris oners was f nished at that hour. One by one the prisoners were shot, and ea? h bloody body was left as it fell for the next victim in order to look upo3. We are informed that but few of the doomed victims faltered ; and when marched oui for execution most of them sang the Marselhiise hymn. We have been prom ised the full particulars of this awful massacre, and when received they will be laid before the public in order to complete the black und damning record. After the execution at San Jacinto, Gen. Esc?benlo ordered a ball at San Luis Potosi, in honor of thc victory achieved over Mira mon. It was io have been tho grandest af fair ever goilen up in rhat city. One hundred ind fifty lalics were invited, who were of course the :ton of the to-vn." When the hour carno to commence the dance, the he roes of tho San Jacinto massacre found that but fifteen ladies had responded to tho invita ron. And no more than fifteen of those in cited did a tend that night. From this it may je determinad what the women of Mexico -biak of the murderers of those French and jormaa pru anet?, j THE ADVERTISER JAMES T. BACON, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, MAR. 27, 18C7.

On Sunday afternoon last, our village was the scene of a fierce and irrepressible conflict The holy day makes tho deed appear more unholy ! Four or five soldiers of tho Federal garrison be came "bifurcated with hot shuts from u blue-ruin decanter," and very wantonly disturbed Iho peace of a colored family. Thcso soldiers, we under stand, are of Ccltich origin. Their feet wore at one time on their w.tive bog. They have a na tional antipathy to reptiles and swear by St. Pat rick. They arc devotedly attached to potajocs and have an abiding faith in good whiskey. By some moans, as wo have already insinuated, these .?aid Ceilidh gentlemen an I a quantity of the said good whiskey got inside of each other; and straightway thc Celts were upon tho war-path. As they wooded their devious way along our Main Street, they ch ?need to approach the resi dence ff an American citizen of African descent -Phil Hill-a suod, honest, well meaning fellow. Phil was u-jt at home ; he wa? " up town ;" per haps pondering, in pensive mood, thc long-stand ing but now thoroughly-avenged wrongs of his nation. The Celts entered his domicile forcibly, and spread terror and dismay omong tho females of his family. Mrs. Phil crept forth and surrep titiously despatched a messenger for Phil. The untutored African rushed to thc rescue, and ex cited to frenzy by thc base aggressions of the Celts, pitched in upon thc latter with most valor ous vim. It being Sunday, Phil's fi ?end.; were lying round loose. They flew to arms. More Celts arrived upon tho field of glory. 'Tis im possible to describe the scene 1 A combat ensued that promised a very serious termination. Thc result had like to have boon thc same as in the fight of the Kilkenny Cuts. It seemed probable for ?uno time that nothing would be left but a few mangled remains for thc coroner to hold in inquest upon. But thc Africuns triumphed gloriously. One Celt was out; another was shot, though not killed ; while another was brought to the ground by un unerring brick from thc vengeful bauds of Mrs. Phil. Thc Commandant of thc Post arrived upon thc scene, and speedily dispersed the combatants. Phil was arrested and carried to headquarters, but upon representations of his good character being made to thc Commnridunt, and sufficient m re ty given of his appearance when thc mat?r I should be investigated, ho vms released. Life focmen whom Phil thought worthy (?) or lils 1 ?teal, we imagino they have had time, in tho guard-house, to get thoroughly sober, and to re flect maturely upon thc nature and results of " ir repressible conflict*" in general.

Thirty days after this registration is completed, the military com Diander is authorized aud required to order an Election for numbers of a State Convention. When this registration takos place, of course tccry man not disfranchised should register promptly. The commonest sense of solf preser vation should urge him todo this. And why? Because tbcro are ignorant men in tho South, thcro aro falso men, thore aro designing men, Lhere are treacherous man; and to sit quietly and let matters drift into the bauds of any such would be stupidly reckless. In tho meantime, Gcnl. Sickles, our Military Commander, has arrived in Charleston from Wash ington; as yet, however, his Official Orders upon taking command of thc two Carolinas, has not been made public. It is announced in advance by tho Charleston papors that the civil government of South Caroli na, if administered with energy and impartiality, wiil not bc interfered with. Do not Itun Crazy Over Cotton. The subjoined article is from the Columbia Phoenix. Wo admire and endorso it; and, as exhorted by thc Phoenix, endeavor to keep tho subject beforo our planters r.nd farmers : "Why should the planters of the South raise cotton, with a population starving around them, to'supply tho factories of New England or foreign markets ? The Government tax is heavy-nhout rjiK'-lifth of the former prico of tho staple ; tho proceeds must bo spent to buy bread and meat from .ho Weit, and much of the money received is spent on tho produedous of tho looms of New England, enhanced, ns their real v.iluo is, by high bounty tariffs and unjustifiable profits. " Purely our people will seo tho folly of this suicidal policy of keeping the mills of Lowell running full time, when thousands at home'are lacking bread. If the South did not supply the cotton, that monster monopoly of cotton manu factures in Nvw Engliiml, scoured and fo.?tcred by unjust legislation against every other seivion of thc country, would bo stricken down. Wa would get chcapor goods from England and elsewhere, while we would bo laying thc foundations of home manufactures throughout the whole Roath. These matters should be carefully considered, and thc dictates of common sense, pruJoucc and patriot ism prevail over old habits and prejudices. Let cotton slide for one year at least, as a production for export, and we have little doubt but t!ic result will prore so clearly that the wants and interests of,our section have been vastly benefited, and that a new policy will bo inaugurated iu thc ag ricultural of the Gult' States of thc South. '.But, besides the necessity ul such a change ?n general principles at this time, and Hie peculiar circumstances in which the people of thc South ure politically placed, there is still tho greater incentive-tbo higher dut}--to raise bread for the people. Another year of want mid suffering will almost dcciL-ato tho Southern population, mid they will only lit?."** to cmigrato to more favurud sections of th? cou. try, or-starve We trust that th".- matter will bc >. jutinually kept just now befor : > ur planters and fa-mers by our con temporaries of thc presi in evey S'.ae, county ind district in tho South, BO tha. it thc diro re sults v.hich must follow the old system should come upsn us, the press will bc clear of any blame in thc promises." The goncral estimate of last year's cotton erip was, we belierc, about a million and a half bales, If thc South had m ido but half th is, asd had consumed half of that in her own factories, she would bc moro appreciated than she now is. Things are ripening, and if thc South may bul ICI// it, her situation financially and politically, may yot bo endured. Eur months past, the pres.; if the South has urgently advised our planter. not tu repeal the unwise experiment of the pa.-l year. And we too must entreat them, for theil own sskes cn.I for the'sake of their on tra ged SPC ti.-.n, to plant but half thc cotton thia year tho pUmt. d taft. Wo say to thou), again, thal If the; ralsc"batft balf million balcs7 Ihe.-c will bring then as much money as a million, becaujo they wil get double price for it. Then their plain path o duty is first to plant as much land in corn, wheat oats, potatoes, onions, and other articles of food a: will last them for two years. Get one year ahem m?t/nod. Hilve grasses and fruits and vegota bles in abundance. The man who has an ?bun dance of grain and hij and oats, noed never bin meat from tho Northwest. Having these products he will, ns surely ns tho sun risei and sets, hav< hogs, cattle, horsos, mules, sheep and pnultrj*. We buy and consume vast quantit?s of foot which comes altogether from tho North and North west. Much of this-very much of it-our rem ple might thomielvei produce. Tao South ha; been dependent long enough. Our peoplo shoulc soo this and wake np. There sliould bo a g?nerai rosolvc throughout the South, to raiso this year, and forever in future, all the food necessary foi our peoplo. To this end, it is evident that more extensive grain crops must bo plumed than cvoi before. Let the Southern people do this and wt are safe. Wc can then defy tba m ilice of all Radicaldom. Wo have thc soil and the climate. Let us make u?o of tlum as sensible men. Lei us first feed ourselves abundantly, and drive awav want from every -door. Let that bo our jimt duty. Then let tho balance of our labor bo given le raising n moderato cotton crop. We need many things which we can not supply from our own region. Lotus raise cotton enough to purchase such necessaries as wc must have and cannot ourselves produce-such as sugar, coffoo, tea, woolens, icc , Sic. Let us also buy machinery to spin and weave our cotton. A small crop will thus pay ti- more than a large ono. And we shall set Sumner and Stevens, and Sprague, the Rhode Idand Calico Factory Senator, to thinking. Without cotton this Union becomes II third rate power. Comm orce has made it what it is ; and cotton has fed com merce. Nothing hus so filled its sails us the white lint gathered from the fields of thc South. Cotton is a political as well as u financial lever. Let us usc it as statesmen, riant a full, very full crop of grains and roots, and sow an abuudanc: of grass seeds. Raise cattle, and hogs, and sheep, and horses, and mules. Work for your hume? und your own peoplo this year; but plant not near so much cotton. 'Twill bring New England to her senses, nnd win for us justice. ^SrSnAKsrnAnE SAW, "THROW Pnvsic TO rut Doos."-This will do very well when you ure not nick, but whoa you are, it is wull to kuow where genuine physic can bo had ; we therefore remind our friends that Messrs.

On Saturday, tho 23d, the President returned tho Supplemental Bill with his ohjections. The Bill provides foran election in ten States for tho puniofc of making constitutions; but all elec tions, whilo tho original bill icmains in fore:, como within its restrictions. Preliminary to elec tions, conics registration, l'nrcgistered .citizens cannot vote. Tho preliminary to-, registration is a vague oath,- that tho ?pp! cant?is not disfran ehised by participation in thc rebellion) which requires that thc applicant for registration must decido for himself. Tkero ii a fearful responsi bility, for though the hill dor? not assign perjury, nor fix a penalty for mi-talica swearing, he must not forget that marshal la*T prevails, and that tho applicant.is responsible io tho Military Cota missions, without previous p-esentment by grand juries, thc military commandos determining what is an olfencj and prescribing the punishment. Tho fourth section provides that tho military commander shall appoint thc noonury Board), of Registration, onch consisting of thrco loyal persons who may be military officers or citizens of the State, or strenger.?, oxercising important functions and vested with unlimited discretion. They decido questions and make returns. What ever error or frauds they commit pass unques tioned. Ey such measures ara conventions of delegates to bc constituted. These delegates are to speak for tho people ; con: mon justice requires that they should have authority from tho people. No convention so constituted will, in any senso, represent the wishes cf tho people, for under all thc embarrassing exceptions and uncertainty which disfranchisement causes, it leaves out thc great-body of tho people who may bo excluded from thc polls. I do not deem it necessary to in vestigate further the details cf the Bill. No con sideration could induce him (thc President) to approve suth on election law for any purpose, especially for thc purpose of forming a Constitu tion for a State. The President argues thc ques tion at some length, illustrat.ng that the forma tion of Republican Governments, according to Congressional ideas, moy at well commence in Ohio or Pennsylvania as Nor.h Carolina. The President conclude? : I confidently believe that tho time will come wh;n these States will again occupy their true portions in the Union. The harriers which now seem so obstinate must yield to the forco of enlightened and just public opinion sooner or later: unconstitutional and oppressive legislation will bc effaced from the ?tntate books when this ?hal; huvc beon consum mated. I pray God, tbnttbi errors of tho past may be forgotten, and that o:ice moro we shall bc a happy, united und prosperous people, and thnt, ot last, after the bitter, eventful experience through which thu nation han passed, wc shall all como to know our only tafe ty in thc preservation of thc Federal Constitution, and, ic according to every American citizen and every S .ate, the rights which that Constitution secures. Immediately aftsr thc read ugof thc President'. objectioni, thc Supplemental 13ill was passed in the House, tiic veto notwithstanding, by a veto of one hundred and fourteen tu twenty-five. Thc House failed to lix tho day of adjournment. In thc Senate, thc Supplemental Bill was passed hy a vote of forty to teven. The concurrent resolution to adjourn on Tues day next to the first Monda] of December, wa* passed. Give it A Frizzle mid Let it Fly. The ladi'.'s-we trembling venture to mernie n them-vt il I no doubt bc interested to hear some thing concerning thc latest fashions for dressing the hair. For their benefit, t'icn, we clip the fid lowing from a late New York letter in the Charles ton Mereury. " What un nmnzing" fecundity of invention those 1 peoplo who devise new arrangements for the fe male- hair ure gifted with. I don't know whether , your ladies have a.? yet adopted the overflow style, hut il is spreading in New York. It was intro duced here about a year ago by Lucy Rushton, the actress, but did not take very well at first. . After n few months little girl: adopted it, and it r ii now quito prevalent among full grown females. To get Up II gmt ratc overflow, all that is nece*:a ry ii? tn g?vo the hair a thorough frizzle, and.thei i let it fly. It enoulil bo Bltowftd "to ny bock uni! 1 fall over the shoulders, otherwise the wearei . might bc tukul for one of Barnum's beauiifu Circus.-iaus (from Williamsburg) just cseape< . fruin tho Museum. Tho appropriateness of tin i name is apparent; besides, it ls suggestivo of tbt I waterfall. "Another stylo that threatens to boromoalarm ingly popnlnr, li? the comet. This consists of ur enormous''higuo* on tho top of the head, and II tail of frizzled hair depending from it and stream ing over -'n-; shoulder. A few specimens of thc comet hove been on Broadway, They were at tractive. Young ladies with red hair (thc fash ionable color) eau get up u very effective comet. 1 Light auburn does very well, hut is not quite bril liant enough. Brown or black won't do at all. Nobody cwr saw a brown or Hack comet." There! Take your choice. "Which shall it bo? J " OvorMow" or " Comet ?" It seems however that I the black and brown heads must not undertake tho " Comet." The red and ll ixen heads have the ' advantage; for fashion permit" them either to flameas " Comets"orsurgeas -'Overflows.*' Now, as for our part, we like the "Overflow" scheme. Yery thin hair, if yon "give-it a thorough frizzle an 1 let it fly," will make a beautiful " Overflow ;" ' whilo very thick hair, when sc treated, will make a deluge equal to that which has taken place late ly in Tennessee. And then another advantage of thc * Overflow" must be its immunity from " ij rt i/o ri?ei" or " jHtliiuli" jr "nil?.'' A? WO write tho last word, wc shriek with horror and become senseless ! But an article in another col umn, headed " Bugs and Humbugs" will explain what wo menu by " gregarine?" and " pcdiculi.'' Of course we would not trend upon such ground if it bad not been well trodden before ! But what does it matter if lhere are "grcga l ines" in tho dead hair which composes the chig non OT waterfall ? If fashion demands it, even this must be tolerated. Who does not remember the speech of the famous French belle in Bul wer'B " Pelham ?" She was to go to a gratid ball on a certain evening, but cn tile morning of the very day a tcrriblo eruption sppearcil upon her beautiful face. In despair thc sent for a physi cian of gre it thill, and said t>. bira : " Cure me hy night, and narao your price." The physician assured her that he eoujd cure tho eruption radi cally if she would Eiibmit td a certain tro.iMneut for a few d ivs ; and that ho could abo drive in tho eruption suddenly and have her ready for the ball : but that tho latter courso would be ex tremely dangerous-that ten tc< ono it would cost her her life. She replied : " Proceed immediate ly, lluvo mo ready for tho ba.l. lTAoi i? death to an eruption t" Jle proccoJcd witb fcur and trembling: and (we regret to say) the beauty lived, and shone ns usual ot tho ball. And what does it matter about theso "grtga rinc* !" If fashion says they mist bc nurtured, so it will bo. Tako our ndvico then and adopt the " Overflow ;" it is pretty, and graceful, and clean, "Give ita thorough frizzle and let it fly." From Virginia--Gen. Lee on the Situ ation.
