Perplexed Shoppers-New Materials Fashions for the Street-Wraps and Shawls-Bonnets and Hats-The Lat? est Wrinkles. NEW YORK, Novembet LO. Broadway, these bright November days, is taking on all the brilliant hues and glowing with warmth and brightness. In all the shop windows are piled soft wool goods, In deep marine blues, dark olive greens, warm crim? sons and mulberry shades, glowing damsons and prunes, and every shade of brown, from the bronze brown, with the glint of gold run? ning through every thread, to the dull choco? late. Silks are draped in shimmering folds, one color above another, forming a brilliant mosaic; all the dark shades for costumes and house-wear, and the lighter tints for evening robes; a delicate pale blue, with a shadow of frost-like sliver in Its folds, Just a mere suspi? cion of whiteness, like the fleeciest cloud that floats over a summer sky, is draped above a bright maize color, while a soft pink, like nothing la the world so much as lae centre petals of a blush rose, falls over on the folds of a green so pure and pale that it might be the very weaving of a fairy's loom for Titania's royal wear. In the windows of the fancy goods stores fluttering ribbons tempt the feminine eye, and yards of creamy lace hang in grace? ful festoons above tie gay mass of color!og. In and out these stores busy feet go trooping all day long; pretty girlish figures lean over counters laden with costly temptations, and fair browB are bent and pretty faces grow pret? tier and more charming In their perplexity. Momentous questions are bring decided, and the whole force of feminine Intellect 1B brought to bear on these vexed problems; and the shoppers flutter from store to store and from counter to counter, and Anally In sheer de? spair settle down on something and hurry away lest a little delay should make them re? consider their decision, and so all the perplex? ity and uncertainty would have to be gone through with again. COSTUMES. There ls comparatively little change In the style of street costumes from last season. The general effect remains still the same, although there may be alterations In some of the minor points. One thing of considerable Importance may be sad just here-demi-train s for the street, that were so popular la the early part of the season, have almost entirely, disappear? ed, and costumes now are made Just lo clear the ground on walking. The attempt to keep the demi train was entirely unsuccessful, al? though ita admirers tried their v??-beal to make the fashion a lasting one; buttai? sensi? ble women outnumbered the silly ones, and the effort at last was but an unsuccessful one. The underskirts are trimmed a great deal, and id various styles; the narrow ru flies are much In favor, and so are deep flounces put on with a cluster of side plaits, then a plain space, then the cluster of plaits again; festoons or ribbon or velvet are looped across the plaits, fastened In the centre of the plain space with a bow or very full half rosette with ends. The over? dresses are made with short, wrinkled apron iron ts, some of them scarcely more than haifa yard in depth, while the back ls very long and full and decidedly pannlered. The attempt to put aside panniers has been so far quite as dn successlul as the one to Introduce trains in walking costumes. A stylish belle shudders at the thought of plain gathered or pleated skirts, and puckers and puffs and panniers more decidedly than ever. For oversklrts, lace or fringe with passementerie beading ls decidedly the thing, and where fringe Ls used, and lt can be afforded, lt ls knotted Into the material Itself, forming a very graceful finish. The bodies are made entirely with basques, and round waists are entirely out, except the pleated waists of last summer Tor n?glig? cos? tumes, which keep their place In the fa? vor of wearers for their ease, simplicity and cemfort. Sleeves are neither the close coat sleeve nor the immense flowing drapery, but a compromise between the twe; most of them fitting quite closely to the elbow, then falling In a frill from there. Polonaises are as popular as ever, the Marguerite being at present the favorite. This ls quite simple In style, Utting closely to the figure, and then making a deep, very full basque for the skirt, which ls looped on each side by rosettes ot broad gros grain ribbon, the ends falling down on to the underdrees. More elaborate than this, and exceedingly stylish, ls the Leoni, or Louis XVI shaped affair, with long vest of vel? vet, with cuffs and collar to match, and a long, full back of heavy twilled silk. These are only two of a family whose members are numbered by the score, but they are the two that Just now are the most highly In favor. Besides these there ls the Beatrice, dignified and state? ly as Us name; the Mousquetaire, stylish, pi? quant and jaunty; the Berenice, elaborate and heavy with masses of passementerie and em? broidery; the Carlotta, the Adelina and all the rest, ot the sisterhood of romantic names. MATERIALS. Silks are ol course, as usual, first and fore? most when pockets are long enough to meet the demands, with elaborate trimmings of guipure laces, and polonaises of Lyons velvet, soft and fine, with deep lace edges, floe and delicate, and beadings ot passementerie and Jet, or bands of feathers, Bott and wavlug al? most like down; their very blaokcess, which shades on a brilliant green, something mar? vellous tn Itself. In addition to the plain black silks, they are manufacturing this season a large quantity of fancy stripes, black grounds, with stripes of gold color, scarlet, crimson blue and green. These tor house dresses, or for polonaises to wear over black petticoats, are very pretty and stylish. Amer? ican sliks are gaining so much In favor that the manufacture bas been increased, and new kinds are being constantly put before the public, and the very latest are these fancy stripes. WOOL MATERIALS. Cashmere, soft and clinging, still holds the foremost rank among the wool goods, and after lt come the all-wool delaines, and a new French wool material, broken across the sur? face with dashes of silk In the tiniest bars, call ed Epinglines. These are in all the warm col? ors, of which fum?e ot London smoke are the favorites; though there ls the rich plum that borders on the red, a fruit-like color, showing the juicy dashes of wine through Its lustrous? ness, and the marine blue that ls always so popular and pretty. Yet notwithstanding all these innovations of color, black still holds Its own and is considered the most distingu?. Plaids are in high favor, made In the warm, Bolt materials-such an improvement on the stiff, harsh-looking poplins that have been offered for so many seasons. A favorite plaid ls the black and white, with a line of blue or gold color relieving the cold plainness. Satins are as plenty and as popular as last year and assert themselves saucily in every store, while the empress cloths lay their claims before the public and always find them respected and themselves entirely appreciated. What would any woman of us ail be without her alpaca or brilliantine, the old-time stand? by ? When Bilks become a snare and a delu? sion, cracking In the seams and otherwise mis? behaving-when the virtue has gone from cashmere and the gloss and beauty from satins -when empress cloths no longer gladden the heart, and Epinglines pray and fret-when disorder and decay and general shabbiness at? tack her wardrobe, then she comes out trium? phant In her reliance, in the hour of such trial, known only to the feminine soul, on her alpaca or brilliantine, always o? the buffalo or sable brand, for like a prudent woman, looking well to the ways of her household, she always gets the best. The prices of these materials range from Atty cents to one dollar, so that a costume from either ls cheap as well as ser? viceable. WRAPS. For evening wear cashmere wraps, creamy in coloring, artistic and graceful in design, and elegant and elaborate with heavy masses of embroidery in gold and silver and bright colored braidB, In every conceivable pattern These are lined with white silk, and are much more graceiul and light than the white cloth capeH that have been so much worn for seasons past, and that are now discarded to make room for these lighter but equally warm an-' protecting garments. Counters are piled high with shawls, Oriental In coloring and de sign, while by them lie the soft, sensible gray travelling shawls, the best protections in the world tor this changeable climate. HATS AND BONNETS. These are so nearly alike in shape and style of trimming, that were it not for the strings which dignify bonnets it wonld be difficult to tell them apart. The latest hat ls called the Alexis, and ls a beaver, trimmed with three shades of color; the shape ls round, as most of the hats are. Now and then one sees a turban or a hat with rolling brim, but they are the ex? ceptions, rather than the rule,and are very little worn, all the new shapes coming with slightly drooping brims, and very high, soft crowns. Flowers are scarcely used at all for trimmings -feathers, wings and aigrettes having taken their place. Jet ornaments are also very much used, and add a great deal to the beauty and richness. A favorite style of hat ls of black velvet, with long, curling ostrich plumes, fastened in a place by a colored aigrette. This ls easily removed, and is changed to match the color of the gloves and necktie of the wearer, and being quite inexpen? sive, they are bought by the quantity. In this way, every one may have a hat to match her costume, and the uniformity of color may be kept up with very little expense. Bonnets are wonderful, principally from their height. They stand up several- inches from the head, with their marvellous arrangement of plumes ' and bows: but spite of that, .they are stylish and pretty, and gal rt ground every day. CHAT FROM COLUMBIA. K Serious Negro Riot at Singleton Afla"s"f De . pcradoci-One Dian ilar dered - The Arrests - flore Ka-Kl ax Arrivals - The Manufacture of Con? veniently Contrite Criminals. [FROH OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT , COLUMBIA, 8. C., November 13. A serious negro riot has just occurred at Singleton, a new station on the South Carolina Railroad, about five miles from Kingsville and twenty-five from this city, which has resulted in the killing of one man, and which threat? ened for a time to lead to greater bloodshed. It appears that Isaac Casey, who is employed as a fore nan of a desperate gang of colored laborers on the railroad, having had some words with Paul Joiner, who bas charge of the company's quartermaster depot, at Singleton, went last Saturday night, with a crowd of fif? teen or twenty negroes, to the depot, and attacked Joiner, beating him frightfully with clubs and other weapons, with which the whole party were armed. Joiner Anally managed to escape, with the assistance of his clerk, Charles Tucker, came to Columbia and secured warrants tor the arrest of the rioters, which Sheriff Frazee, with a party of five men, went down this morning to serve. Before the arrival of the sheriff, however, the rioters again attack? ed the depot this morning, and In the melee Casey was shot through the head by Tucker, who had charge of the place, and instantly killed. When the sheriff arrived he found about eighty negroes about the depot In a state cf the greatest excitement. He succeed? ed In driving them Into the building, and the men who were engaged in the disturbance of Saturday night being pointed out to him, he arrested fifteen of them and brought them to Columbia this evening to await trial. Tucker was not to be found, ne having fled Into the woods through fear ot the rioters, who threat? ened to murder him. The sheriff of this county has, on several previous occasions, had serious trouble with this gang of desperadoes, and lt ls hoped that now a few of them are safely lodged in Jail, they mayfjget the punish? ment they richly deserve. A few more of the alleged Eu-Elux prison? ers have been brought to the jail In this city, and the arrests in York, Spar tan burg and Union Counties are becoming more rapid and numerous. 1 he late arrivals at the jail are from Sparianburg, and they manifest the same curious eagerness to accuse themselves of the most horrible crimes that has been remarked In the other voluntary victims from that county. An Interview with a few ol thtm to-day, resulted only In a repetition of the fanciful stories of grips and oaths and counter? signs with such elaborations as their Imagina? tion (or may lt not be, their Instructions,) could supply. The sight of these poor wretches and the rehearsal of their stories cannot fall to convince any one that their organization, whatever lt may be, ls not the organization commonly understood as the Ku Klux Klan. Many of them are colored, half of them are Radicals, and most of the latter are members, and no doubt tools, of the Loyal League, a far more dangerous organization to the peace of South Carolina than the Ku-Klux bogy. One (lotion that ls maintained in regard to these self-accusing marauders ls so transparent as to be an Insult to the Intelligence of the people of this State. This fiction ls that the so-called confessions of these people are voluntary and genuine. All of the officials take pains to tell me that they do not invite such confessions, and that, indeed, they tell each candidate for martyrdom that If he makes confession it must be of his own free will and accord, and not (rom hope of pardon; but everybody knows that by the old common law, on which the practice of the United States Courts is based, this ls a necessary legal formality which must be observed to enable the confessions to be used in court, and it is necessary for the pur? poses of this prosecution that these confessions should be used In court, not as against the confessing parlies, but for the purpose of con? victing other and non-confessing citizens whom these cowardly and perjured wretches almost invariably implicate in their affida? vits. The whole trick and device of this gigantic process of subornation of perjury ls glaringly apparent. A full and honest investi? gation, if such a one could be hoped for, would show that process ls as follows: A dozen of the lowest members In the Loyal League club of a certain community are sent to surrender themselves as repentant Ku Klux, and furnished with stories to repeat in the form of confessions, which, being Inven? ted in collusion, bear enough similarity to be somewhat plausible, and which Include lists of alleged members ol a 1'Ku-Klux Den," among whom are such of (he decent men of that com? munity ft? have had the H&CrtUM the honor'to be hated by the Loyal Leagues. Til? confessing leaguers are then in most cases thrust into Jail for the sake of consistency, and the arrest of their neighbors begins. No writ of hab?as corpus can be interpos' 1 to save the latter: they are crowded, insulted and starved in a filthy jail for weeks, put through a mockery of a trial be? t?re a Jury selected by other Loyal Leaguers (collectors of internal revenue) and convic? ted on the affidavits of the original confes? sors, who, lt ls needless to add, will be dis? charged. Could the bate ot party, the pros? titution of power or the ingenuity ot demons go lurther ? It ls pleasant to turn to a more agreeable subject, and report the result of the sequel to the racing events ot fair week, which took place to-day in the shape of a running match of one mile for $1000 a Bide, between Colonel Bacon's "Girl ot My Heart'' and Hr. Ebberle's "Belle ol York." The horses were very evenly matched; both had shown some very good time during the progress of the fair, and the race bad been so eagerly anticipated that a splendid attendance wm the result. It was made besides a subject ot sectional rivalry as between the Counties ol' Sumter and Edge field from which the "Belle" and the "Girl" respectively hailed, and outside bets to the amount of fully five thousand dollars were in? dulged in by the representatives of those rec tiona of the State. The race was very fairly stuned, closely contested throughout, and was won by "The Belle," to the surprise, as it appeared, ot most of the know? ing ones, in 1:50. This was followed by a scrub race between Blind Tom and Rosewood, which was handsomely won by the first named horse, and thus ended this post mortem event of the State Fair ol 1871. B. W. T.

HORLBECK.-Departed this ure. on the morn ef the 13th instant, Dr. WILLIAM CUISOLM UOKL BECK, in the forty-second year oi hts age. In the untimely death of Dr. William C. Hol? beck our community has suffered a loss which will be long and deeply felt by the large circle of Ml friends, and especially by all who have had the benefit of his professional services. Destined, as lt seemed by nature, for the profession which he adopted, endowed with a fine and clear Intel? lect, and with a remarkable fondness for medical and natural science, Dr. Horlbeck gave, at an early age, promise of unusnal distinction and suc? cess In his calling. After having studied under the direction of his father, and having graduated with high honor In the Medical College of his na? tive city, he continu pd bis studies for several years at Paris and Vleana, under the a. ?- dis? tinguished professors of those two celt /ed seats of medical science. Upon his reu . to Charleston, Dr. Horlbeck entered Into copai .'.er ship with bis father upon the practice of bis pro? fession, and be was soon, both by bis medical fra? ternity and the public, recognized as one of the most prominent of our younger physicians. For maoy years surge >n of the Hoper Hospital-during the war at tbe head of a d i vi - ion or one of the largest Confederate Hospitals-be sustained, in every public position entrusted to him, a high rep? utation for 6sill, attention to duty, and uncom? promising integrity. In his private practice Dr. Horlbeck exhibited all those qualities wblch se? cure the confidence aud the grateful affection of patients. Unremitting In his attention, calm and of ready resource, gentle and sympathizing, he was a welcome and trusted friend at the bedside of the sick and suffering. Pf, H-orlbeck's nrtvaie character was adorned by marjy ???e?le?t qualities. He WW of a modest and retiring disposition, rather shrinking irani tu?? conning public notice and the acknowldgement of his merits; he was simule and unassuming in his habits, durne-tm In hit tastes, strongly at? tached to his family, who looked with J us; pride upon his professional success; he was a good and provident father, an affectionate son, brotber and husband, and a true and steadfast friend. Though his long and painful illness was watch? ed with unceasing care and anxiety by several of the most emineut members of bis profession, their united sklU has proved unavailing; be has been called away from bl* field of usefulness; cut down in the best years of bis manhood, and be? fore the brilliant promise or his earlier years bad attained to Its complete fulfilment. While numerous friendo deeply and sincerely sympathize with hts Billeted ramlly and share their grief, weean only point hi - bereaved widow and his children, so early deprived of his paternal care, for comfort and consolation to Ulm, who ts tae Father of the widows and the fatherless, and on whose lalla;te love and mercy all can safely rely. A. si. DASS.-Died of the prevailing ep'demic, in this city, on Monday, November ti,1871, EMILE DASS, aged twenty-eigut years. He was a native of Germany, and came to this city ub jut Ave years ago, making lt his adopted home. Dnrlug the most of that time he was . n saged as a clerk, and by Industry and eco: omv had accumulated sufficient means to enable him, a few months ago, to start business with his brother, who bad been tn this country two years. They were both courteous and respectful In au their dealings wltu others, and perfectly reliable In all business transactions, through which they bad secured a thriving business; and having every prospect of sue ess, they concluded to make this the home of their family, and about six months ago beat to the old counts y for their parents. Alas ! 'els sad, indeed, to chronicle that, within one short month, all have passed Into the tomb, victim - of the prevailing fever. A sacred spo in Magnolia has received their bodies, whilst their souin nave reunited in another world, where neither disease nor deatn are known. Only ave days before u:e death of Emile, be, in triple gr ef, followed the corpse or his younger brother Unstave to Its final reaitng place beside their be? loved parents, wnere he, too, s ? soon was destin? ed to rest. How true tue saying that, "In the midst ?if life we are in death.'' The special subject of this friendly notice was a du i fui and devoted son. and a kind and affect? ionate brother, and a true fri -nd. "To him will come no harm, For his Immortal part survives and d. ells Beyond the grave's gloom and the toll of bells." L. R. T _Newspapers. HE G E E A T FAMILY PAPER FAMILY PAPER !
