Many a woman who continually abuses her husband won't let any body else do it. She thinks it such a luxury that she must need monopolize it. Two convicts lately pardoned by Gov. McWillie, of Mississippi, stopped a man in the streets of Monticello last week and robbed him of a gold watch. When rascals are behind prison walls they should be kept there. It is understood that Mr. Pryor remains editor of the States; that paper having been placed on a permanent foundation. It will henceforward act as the organ of the Democratic party, irrespective of the views of the President and the Daily Union. Otis Bullard, of Lowell, formerly an officer in the Boston Custom house, has testified, before the Liquor Investigating Committee, that he can make as good whiskey as that which comes from the State agency for41 three cents a gallon, and as good port wine for twenty-five cents. Accounts from the Kansas gold mines are very favorable, and the rush of emigrants for the auriferous region is stated to be something beyond precedent. The average yield with rockers is from four to ten dollars per day to each man. Companies are forming to convey water'from the Platte Kiver to Cherry Creek, a distance of twenty miles. The editor of the Jacksonville, Ala., Republican learned on Monday last, at Talladega, that the entire amount necessary to purchase the iron and finish the Selma Railroad to the town of Talladega, has been made up, and that the work will be pushed forward, so as to insure its completion in time for the next crop. Iu California the greatest excitement prevailed on the reception of intelligence that ^thc Pacific railroad bill had been defeated in Congress. The San Franciscan is filled with violent articles,,denouncing Congress, and going so far as to threaten secession. The severance of California from the Union is hinted at in unmistakable terms.

The Court adjourned at Anderson on Friday, after despatching the business before it. The indictment of a good lady of that district, as a "common scold," found favor with not a very gallant grand jury. The case was traversed, and will be tried in October. Is it right to reader powerless the only legitimate weapon of the fair sex?? Gallantry saith nay !?Keoicec Courier. Eli Thayer, a republican member of Congress, has a poor opinion of his brethren. He says of them : "Some of the republican party are always uneasy. They are never satisfied. "When they get to heaven they will not be satisfied. Instead of tuuing their liarps to heavenly praise, they will be getting their opera-glasses to look over the gulf and see if they cannot descry a Dred Scott decision or a Supreme Court, and they will be wanting a Wilmot Proviso to keepslavery out of Heaven." About two months since the wife of Jacob Abbot, in Golconda, C. W., presented her husband with eight pledges of affection at one birth. These children survived until six weeks old, when two of them sickened and died. The remaining six are still living and thriving finely. The whole eight were very small specimens of humanity, when ushered into the world, as might have been expected. This statement is literally fnr Kvr rmmlmra nf ros. I ?IW*.

Very many christian hearts have been watered and refreshed by the gracious outpouring of the Divine Spirit, and been permitted to rejoice with greater and more exceeding joy, in hope of the life ' that is to come. Many, too, have been ad- i ded to the folds of the Lord, from the "tents [ of wickcness." 3Iay the glorious work continue to move forward. Special religious j exercises are still in progress.?Sumter Watchman. In Palermo, Sicily, the police of that city are paid from week to week only one I half their wages. The other half is kept as a reserved fund, out of which al! parties suffering loss by theft, burglary and similar crimes,^which it is the duty of the police to prevent, are indemnified. There is a settlement at the end of every six months, and j the surplus is divided among the policemen, j who are thus made to suffer a loss of wages ! by every failure to perform their duty. The j system works admirably. Crimes of the sort^ are almost unknown, and at each settlement I there is but little to deduct from the fund t before it is distributed. Pickens is a great district.

Nor is she without her I history in romance. It was on the banks of i the beautiful Chauga that Horse-Shoe Rob-1 inson lived. Here it was that the Hon. J. P. Kennedy found the old warrior, and cjath-1 ered the facts for his celebrated tale, which has placed him in the front ranks of the au-1 thors of his day. I hud the pleasure of visit- j ing the house in which Horse-Shoe Rubin-1 son lived, and was told by the proprietor j (Mr. Hughes) that the old hero built it with j his own hands. The place still bears his j ' name. He has long since been gathered to J his fathers, and I've been told that near! Tuscaloosa in Alabama, a rude stone upon which is a roughly carved horse-shoe, alone marks the resting place of the good old man. ?

MUSICAL, SOIREE. n We at one time suggested to the Trustees of our Female College the idea, elsewhere approved, of monthly concerts; by which their young ladies might display the progress and proficiency in musical studies, and be thereby stimulated to more earnest efforts and higher attainments, aud at the same j time a most agreeable recreation be afforded to the society of our town.

The rumors of war in Europe are becoming more frequent and are entertained with confidence in well informed circles. Preparations are in progress by all the Powers concerned ; loans have ; been effected by Sardinia, and as France has com mitted herself to the contest, the result hangs al- i most solely upon the decision of tho Sardinian King. Having a great burden of wrongs to throw j off>a deep, long-meditated revenge to satiate, the ; liberties of Italy to achieve, and the strong arm ! of Napoleon to aid in the struggle, we cannot J (louttt tliat tlic war cry will soon he sounded and j the conflict begun. Else, furnished now with all t the conditions of success, Sardiuia would be re- ' creant to her trust. Telegraphic despatches were published in the , Courier, last week, stating that hostilities had ac- j tually commenced. This statement has not been confirmed, however, though authorities agree that i war is inevitable. EXPLANATORY. We learn that misrepresentations have been cir- j culated, with a purpose, we presume, in regard to , the course of the Esquirkr upon the Temper- j 1 ance reform. Of late, communications on this 1 subject have not been published in our columns, otttiniicrli nodmris rnnro tlinri tbe usual nuantitv of selections have been made; and parties, with an | i object to our prejudice, have forced themselves to ' the conclusion that our paper has, suddenly, gone ( over to the enemy. ' 1 Now, in order to set ourselves right with those ( who have honestly believed these statements, we 1 assert distinctly that we have not at any time re- 1 fused to publish articles on the subject of Temperance ; on the contrary, we have constantly so- M licited such communications, and have at all times | ' been ready to give them a prominent place in the ' Enquirer; and the reason that such papers are j i not now published so frequently, may very prop- ! ' erly be ascribed to the fact that they are not j ' written for us. How any friend of the Enquirer ' could come to any other conclusion, is very strange ?especially so, when we defy any one to point . to the word or act of ours which indicates a de- j 1 sire to "close the door" upon our Ttmptranc* contributors. We repeat; that the charge made against us on this score, is palpably and unqualifiedly false. THE COURANT. Messrs. W. W. Walker, Jr., & Co., of Colura- , bia, have issued a prospectus for a literary news- i paper, to be called "77<c Courant," the publica- \ tiou to commence during this month. Howard J II. Caldwell, Esq., will be the Editor. The utter failure of similar enterprises in our , State will, for a time, operate as a serious hindrance to the success of the Courant. This pub- ; lication, however, commences with much more encouraging au-pices. We arc assured that am-1 pie means, both literary and pecuniary, have been i secured and placed on deposit, sufficient to render 1 certaiu the continuation of the paper, independent of its income, for at leaxt two years.* Besides this, the literary tastes and attainments of Mr. 1 Caldwell are much superior to the standard of "literary editors" at the South, and when brought to bear upon this work?a labor for which he is ; peculiarly fitted?the result will be worthy of, and, we doubt not, will of itself achieve an iiume- i < diate and remunerative patronage. We know the editor, publisher, nud proprietors, and vouch for ' them as well as for the corps of distinguished con tributors in the enlistment of whom they Jjiive j t becu exceedingly fortunate. I J This is a praise worthy effort directed to a no- ; j ble purpose. We run no risk iu lcndiug u lumd J ] to it; and now, let every iuteliigeut citizen who ! ' would encourage Southern literuturo and who ' f' would introduce into bis family a journal of cle-'t vated tone and morals, mark himself down as a friend and patron of the C'>urant; ami we will ' * take pleasure in receiving and forwarding the | subscription price.

Lax- 1 I L DHi'M, the editor of the Columbia Ilirr, during the | ' days of Nullification," died near Columbia, on Sunday last. The Bulletin snys of him: "Mr. Laxdki'M was much respected, and regar- j I tied as one'of our must useful and enterprising1 1 citizens during his public life, notwithstanding c bitter partizans were arrayed against him on ac- I " count of his Union sentiments, lie lived, respec- I 1 ted by all who knew him ; uud he died, leaving a t recoru of a well spent life, without a blot or tur- i h ui'jh to mar his good name." j ? CONTRIBUTIONS. In the letter from Greenville, our readers will ecognize the pen of a new correspondent. They ire coining to us from all quarters, and are all iozily and heartily welcome. Some of the estabished members of our corps, however, are rather ntermittent. Wo have not heard from Chemw ately; nor from "Ruby;" nor from our CharlesIon friend, as often as we could wish. Our Char- d lotte correspondence ha3 not yet reached us.? c What's the matter? That letter from Ripley is talked-of. Will "Punch" mix np another for us? < And has Madame "Wenzle" no return to make to i bis gallant proposals ? s We publish this week, the first number of a se- 1 ries on the "Physiognomy of Places." The idea ' is a happy one, and we hope to have it "long 1 * " i drawn our." Next week, we will give place to a column-full of exquisite prose-poetry from Mr. Gowan, on ' "Love, Courtship and Marriage." It it his best > effort; and in its conception, quality of thought, 1 and profusion of 'orient pearls at random strung,' 1 would make a becoming frontispiece to Fanny i Fern's "Gems." We were not here, last week, to call attention to Mr. East's poem. We trust all our readers have discussed it, and recognized its many excellencies. What has become of our Arkansas correspondent ? THE NEW ENTERPRISE. Davidson, in one of his off hand letters from Columbia, contributes to the Retrister the following touch upon Caldwell and the Courant. We again speak out in behalf of thin enterprise, and call for York, too, to do for it "something handsome Howard H. Caldwell and the about-to-be Cowant make an item of unusual interest to those interested in the fate of our sectional literature. The financial basis, wc nrc advised, is firm and the measure therein is not an adventure which may blow up within a few month, rts has been the (ate of others. Will^rur friends reflect that any apathy, to wait for sucoess, is the recessory cftuso of failure? The Editorial conduct of tha Courant will be. we nre entirely n?sured. such has not hitherto been brought to that field; and the friends of the cause may rely upon the ability it will bring to bear upon the paper?in our State and beyond it, throughout the South, the talents of a wide circle of writers have already been secured, and the list is constantly being extended. "Once more to the brench, dear friends, once more!"? The Courant is expected to appear on the Thursday of next week, or at fartheest on Thursday the 21st inst. We hope much?we trust confidents Wc hopo Winnsboro' will make nut a fine list of subscribers ; and Fairfield, we know in atlvarce, will do something handsome. So mote it be. ELECTION IN COLUMBIA.

The Opposition party of ' Tennessee, have nominated John Netherlands, ' Esq., as a candidate for Governor of that State. We learn from the Mercury, that the honorary degree of LL.

I bt NUMBER t n( THE PHYSIOGNOMY OP PLACES. < ti Every one readily admit9 that the presences of lifferent men affect us differently ; that we feel I fll iasy with one, embarrassed with another and iu- j liffcrent with a third. It is the power of pre*- I j nee. The child feels it, and only the fool denies j ts existence. But the fact that place* have a limilar power of presence is not so universally ^ ecognized. I maintain, and experience is my j ^ nformant, that places have a physiognomy as .j well as men. The thought occurred to me while n the midst of a large ami active city?in New ^ i'ork, and on Broadway. I have noted it else- ^ where, and everywhere; and in the living solitudes . of populous cities I have mused upon the coun tenance of places, and have recognized a xocieli/ j of which the throng around me seemed unconscious. Byron snys toereis society where none in- . trudes. There enn, really, be no place without it. On Broadway I first recognized the spirit of placr. I have traced it in the reckless bustle of Memphis; have bowed to it in the primness of Philadelphia; have mused upon it in Baltimore; have hurried from it in Charleston; and have blessed it in Columbin. I have courted that spirit in scenes afar e from men but not lonely?havo bowed me humbly ^ before it on Crosar's Head; have knelt to it at the j base of Table Rock; have adored it upon the summit of the Look Out ; have mused upon its mysteries while, gliding rip the Hudson ; have yielded j to a silent awe upon the bank of the Mississippi; and, here and there, have never failed to find mountain top and vtdlcy shade?the jam of cities and the hush of prairiej?all, like the faces of my fellow men, expressive of some character. At every spot of earth we know there lingers a pow- 1 cr?the ancients named these yocfct?whose realm 1 is apart from local associations of the past, and 1 whose influence touches the spirit when first we ( know the place. There is a kindness in one spe- 1 cies of tree, for example, that soothes and charms ' us; but another 5b"lonely and repulsive. The former evokes the better feelings, and the latter ' attunes us to gloom or to bitterness. The feeling ( derived from contemplating a full oak grove, ear- 1 nest. steady, and bold, is wholly different from 1 that which we imbibe from a pine forest, rigid, barren of fruits, lonely, and murmuring. I have gazed upon a wintry pine forest until my heart ached with an indefinable gloom?a dread, a desolate loneliness that pressed down my soul like a bereavement. Artificial scenes, on the same principle, become expressive in the same way. Stand on Broadway, the most living street in the world, and you will feel its power. There is a grandeur in the extent of splendid sights and buildings that elevates the mind at once. There is a variety that confuses at first blush, but, then, astonishes and elevates the conception, as we contemplate it leisurely. There is a haste, so constant, so earnest, so eager, that one's thoughts catch the tone and rush rapidly and almost dizzily to the maturest conclusions. There is a massive power in the whole moving, straggling, and conquering mass that brings one's heel down upon the pavement with a stamp?that quickens the gait, contracts the muscles of the legs wijh unwonted energy and decision, erects the figure, sends the blood bounding through the frame, ami sets the entire machinery of life and thought and hope and irilt most manfully to work. One cannot walk lazily on Broadway; unless, indeed, he be a poet, a lover, or some such creature, that is pining to "flee the busy haunts o!.' men," or is leaning daily on "the dagger of unrequited love," or puling over spilt milk of some ki id ! Kut a real live man? thinking, acting, and living a true and carnesPlTfe ?will unconsciously catch the spirit of that noble scene; will acknowledge the presence of the place; and will recognize what I mean by the ohyxiognomy of placet. I have other scene? and other places to speak cf, there and elsewhere; but of those, if you like, some other time. Columbia, S. C. * NEW YORK C ORRESPONDENCE. INEW xonit, i?i?rcnoi. j The so-cnlled 01(1 Line Whig Party?so the j presumption goes?is resuscitated in this city and ? in the Empire State. -But the presumption does c not accord with fact. Very true, a party lately j tssembled under the auspices of that name; but j what is in a name ? A rose might smell as sweet- c y under another name, but the smell of the nigger is too persistent to destroy the individuality if Sambo under the name of an "Old Line Whig." fn avword, the party in question is a fragment of 1 [Hack Republicans, disgusted with the ultra vie^ ' if their party and its want of power, grasping at p some of the straws that the Whigs left on the tbr- c face of the waters when they were submerged be- v pond redemption. Or it may be the Know Nothngs, reciprocating the Whig delusion of a few p [rears c.go. Ex-Gov. Hunt, who addressed the irst meeting of the Party, laid down the principies of the organization in opposition to the Gov- T irnment, no more territory, and the nigger. No t lolitical organization has ever been able to carry * :he nigger through the ^ace, and it would be an . inomaly if this latest schism meets with any par- o licular success. ' The Joshua of Ohio, Gidmnos, will soon recicve y lis apotheosis. He lias elevated himself from the jocial circle of white folks into the fraternity of h leople not so white, and the next step must be a nto tbe "place where good niggers go." The j ;entlemen from Africa now resident in New York p ind Brooklyn, moved to the soul by the stirring tppeals of "Mnssa Josb" in sympathy with their infortunate expatriation and unavoidable absence g "rom the land of gad flies and potatoes, presented o heir priest with a gold watch and a Bible.

Verily, Joshua will ri ro home with a giad heart, for the "laborer is wor- e by of the reward wherewith lie is hired." The Twelfth Regiment of Militia of this city, in ^ ipite of order to the contrary and the frowns of h lie Governor, paid a visit to the Capitol in order e o show the latter official that the Regimeut had ^ ncn enough for a separate organization, and that w hey were unwilling to be incorporated with ci mother body.

I jn The St. George's Cricket Club, which has for its bject to rescue from oblivion the stupid old-fogy-1 18 ame of Englishmen, celebrated its twenty first ' ' nniversary las1; week.

The Pike's Peak Gold Fever has started a large j de of emigration to that country. The accounts ; re very highly colored when they reach here, ad it is quite likely that more sense than gold ill be gained by the adveuturers. These new iscoveries of gold regions do not seem to diminih the emigration to California. The Stephens trial has been finished after a laorious investigation of three weeks duration.? ' 'be circumstantial evidence was too strong against lie unfortunate man, and the Jury found a verdict f guilty. He takes an appeal for a new triaK?

It is very irobablc that Stephens would have escaped jusice, had he not provoked an investigation of the : ircumstances attending the death of his wife.? ! n the course of the analysis of the body it was J hown that Arsenic is not a natural constituent of j /i(* human body, and that death hy poison (Arse- J lie) is detected with absolute certainty one year ifter death. Apropos of this case, is another in which a vhole family, three persons excepted, were poiloned last week, resulting in the death of two jersons.

No doubt our 'riend included in that hit, all liquors of that fatorite brand?I mean brand-y. The Colleges of our town are now in full blast "or the first term of 1859. They have opened tuspiciously?the Furman University numbering jnc hundred and ten students including the Preparatory Department; and the Female College with its "Preps," numbering also, about one hunIred and ton. This is Court Week, and the usual phenomena if such occasions have not failed to follow. I relieve, however, the docket is of moderate length ?yet lengthy enough to give support to the raaority of our lawyer population. For some timo back our town has been under mnsiderable excitement from the presence of insendiaries. A few weeks ago the steam saw mill jonnected with the large coach factory of Cox, JOTTER, SlARKr.F.Y C? HUIITHI.IUTU.1 ? ujr mo n aj, :hc largest factory of the sort in the State?was burned dovyn. Since then repeated attempts have been mnde to set fire to their store and workshops. Their establishment is a large one, giving steady employment to a large number of hands and affording support to a number of our best citizens ; ind the destruction of their establishment alone, would be, for that renson. a great calamity. Dut heir establishment fronts on the Main street, is rery large, nnd filled with paints, oils and materials of the most combustible character, so that ivor# it to take fire, there is no knowing to what jxtent through the rest of our town, damage would follow. The boldness of the attempts nade, constitute also a reason for the excitement. \ short time back their wntckman narrowly esjoped death from a pistol ball, at about four o'dnck in the morning. Last Friday night two jersons were chased off the premises, and alto;othcr there have been four arrests made?one of hem a woman?but which from all I cau learn ire premature, as nothing of a material character ian bo proved against them. The woman is supjosed to be one of the number chased from the iremises, who it is said dressed aV homme for the iccasion. Yours, &c. __ MODUS. Will of Late Wm. McKennn.^ We have before us a copy of the will of the lateen. Wm. McKenno, of this District; and having ast week adverted to the reported contents of said rill, we deem it proper to give in this issue an ahtract of the contents as they are found really to xist. Whether the statement made hy us last p....I. ti.it Mm*toat.atnr had left the hulk of his ? CVIV, VI???V ??IV %v ? .?. iroperty to tlie Roman Catholic Church needs any inalification, our readers can judge for themselves I iresnntlv. The will Was proved here in common form a few lays since. The testator bequeathes to Mrs. Mittng, the rife of Dr. J. F. G. Mittng, the only (laughter and he only child of the testator, a life annuity of 'IFTY DOLLARS. A small provision was made in the first will for he grand children of the testator?the children 1 f Mrs. Mittag. but this provision is revoked in lie codicil. The testator bequeaths to his sister residing in lew York, an annuity of one hundred dollars ; nd to various nephews and neices the sum of one undred dollars each, and directs that those legcies be paid "either to the sjiid legatees theinelves, or to the Roman Catholic Bishop of the )ioce3e in which they may reside, to be by him aid over to them or for their use." The negros of the testator that are over sixtyve years of age are to be supported as a charge | pon his estate, and for this purpose the annual urn of twenty-five dollars is appropriate for each fthem. The balance of tlio entire estate, both I eal and personal, is directed to be sold. When the proceeds of the sale of the Estate nnd i he debts due to the testator art: collected, the I rbole fund is to be applied as follows, subject to lie legacies before mentioned:?Five thousand | ollars to be paid to the Roman Catholic Bishop j f Londonderry, "to he applied by him to such | eligious aud charitable uses as he may deem prop- | r for the benefit of the Congregation of Cock i till," among whom the testator was born. _ The j ntire residue of said fund to be paid to the Ro- ! atholic Bishop of the Diocese of Charleston; in J lint, ns to three-fourths of said fund, "for the I itablishing and maintaining a Roman Catholic ' Iale Orphan Asylum and School, for the support j nd education of orphan nnd destitute children, i liich said Asylum shall be estab ished in the ity of Charleston, in the State of South Carolina : | lid as to the remaining one-fourth part of the I lid fund for the use and benefit of 'The Sisters T our Lady of Mercy,' in the city of Charleston." Any disputes that may arise as to the construcon of the will are directed to be referred to the j om.m Catholic Bisbop of Charleston for decision, j hose determination therein shall be conclusive; ad should any suit at Law or iu Equity be iusti- , ited by any legatee under the will, other than y direction of the Bishop of Charleston, such ersons thereby forfeits all claim to any interest ader said will. i The will was made in Charleston, and dated i lay 10th, 1851. Tlio Codicil revoking the pro sion made for testator'* grand-children, and i mfirmiog other parts of the will, was also made !

I I The Executors appointed by the will who have j 1 inlificd are, C. B. Northrop of Charleston, and , < liomas M. Belk, of this District. i The will will be contested by Mrs. Mittag, who ] is nlrcady given notice to the Ordinary that she quires it to be proven in solemn form ; whether i ' any other party we are not aware. Upon what \ i ounds it will be contested we are not aware ; 1 e will seems to be formal and regular. 1 Counsel have been engaged upon both sides. 1 ] ic Bar at this place is arranged as follows: For j 1 e will.

We shall certainly keep our readers advised of j the progress of events as" respects this will and j suit. The property left by the testator is estimated to he worth at least two hundred thousand dollars.?I.ancn.iter Lctlyrr. War In Europe. Victor Emanuel, the King of Sardinia, is the : : best sovereign in Europe. His is the only con-Ui- ! . tutional kingly government oh the Continent, and j , the people under his care seem duly aware of his , worth and confident in his patriotism. At one j time it was stated that the question ol war in Eu- j rope turned on the loan he sought, of ?2,000,000, j ( to support its expenditures. lie failed in Paris to obtain the loan; but lie appoa'cd to bis people, and forthwith the necessary amount is subscribed. The causes of war are abundant with an Italian Frince, and Victor Emanuel lias the power of ma- J , king it. It was said in the House of Lords, inn England, that it was in the power of one man to i determine whether it should exist?meaning the Emperor Napoleon III. But Napoleon has trans- i ferrcd this power to Victor Emanuel. In his let- ; ter to Sir Fr{i?cis Head, we think, he says that I L. i ..IA I _,i i ir .i.A IIv mm ujnj' uduuu uiiusrii m mc ouiuim- j ana against Austria. This is likely to be quite j encouragement enough for Sardinia. A general | wlio conuot get up a war which lie desires, and i assert and prove himself to be the party azgresscd j upon, is vastly deficient in strategy. Victor E- j manuel has been desiring and preparing for n war j j with Austria for years. It is now in his power to j I make it, with France to support him, agynst the old oppressor of Italy. Has he not cause? We I think Signor BrofTerio, in the debate in the Chamber of Deputies, has correctly stated the matter. Signor BrofTerio made a short and showy speech. He declared it idle to investigate whether Austria provoked Piedmont, or Piedmont Austria? "Do you kr *v," said he, "who are, and where are the provou?rs ? The provocation for us is that two headed eagle which stands on the Austrian banner; the provocation for Austria is in three colors that illuminate ours. The provocation of Austria is iu the laws and measures with which she presses upon the Italians; the provocation of Piedmont consists in our free institutions, our free press, our free rostrum. Let it be said, then, that Austria continually provokes us, that we continually provoke Austria, and that this mutual provocation will endure, infinite and immense, until the great question be solved either by the triumph of right or at the poiut of the 1 sword." We think that here is cause enough for a war, to last so long as it be necessary to rid Italy of Austria. IIow did Austria get her provinces in Italy ? By force of arms. May she not, then, he ejected by the same means? And what principle of duty will forbid the leading sovereign of Italy, if he thinks ho 1ms the power, frrru boldly striving to drive the military despotism of Austria out of his country? All the King ot Sardinia has wanted, is the support of another European nation, powerful enough to va-.qqisli Austria. This he has in Franco. We arc satisfied that nothing can prevent war in Europe but Napoleon drawing back from his present position with Sardinia. If he keep it, the King of Sardinia will do the rest, and war is inevitable. The above was written before the arrival of the latest news, and is fully confirmed thereby.? Charleston Mercury. UBII - ? The Fashion* in Mew York.?Last Thursday was "Opening Day" among the modistes of New York, the day on which the feminine fashions of the Spring were suffered to bloom forth. Millinery emerged from its winter retreats, and sparkled from hundreds of windows. The New York papers contain lengthened accounts of the event. Their descriptions of the new fashions are eloquent and thrilling. The most brilliant narrator tells us that tiie "styles of the present year are strikingly ?let us frankly say it?fatally beautiful. The sumptuous soul of that extravagant little Eugenie is in them all." The details are no less elaborately set forth. Beginning at the top. we learn that the bonnets have expanded a little, and have assumed a "Marie Stuart" droop in front; that their capes hare sensibly diminished; and that the principle materials arc chip, tulle and crape, with few ornaments. The fashion of robes is less imperative than last year, although the Pompadour seem to b? the most in vogue ; but as for the corsage, it may be cut in any way the wearer pleases, and yet not be astray. Sleeves have received double attention ; an entirely new style, known as the Clotilde, has been invented;?it is a "half bias flowing sleeve, open halfway up the arm, and mounted with a deep fall gathered in a loose band." There is also the square open sleeve, and the full bias with drop cuff. Skirts are not scanty. It seems that "the double-skirt, ornamented with the new Dahlia trimming, will be the feature of the Spriug ; this trimming is very rich and graceful, and is imported of all widths and colors. In skirts the upper one is sometimes open at the side, the trimming running impertinently up quite to the corsage. But they are worn long and very full." Ball dresses, it is decreed, have double skirts and be made of the lightest material, as tulle, crape, figured gauze or tarlcton. Ball sleeves are made short, and are sometimes covered with a loose hanging sleeve called the odalisque.? Powers are profusely provided for evening toilet. For outer garments, the following appear to be decided upon :?morning toilet, bournous of light wool, trimmed; visting toilet, pelisse of velvet, black or green ; in the matter of mantillas there is much novelty, many are made of rich Pusher lace, with pointed shoulder pieces, from which depend double flounces deep enough to almost cover the whole figure In other varieties of dress there is said to be ! ttle uovclty.
