VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1883. CHARLESTON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1872. EIGHT DOLLARS A THE WORLD OF FASHION. EASTER SPECIALTIES. Religion anil Toilettes at Home and Abroad-All Abont *-Dolly Varden?" New Costumes and Overdresses tor Street and Home Wear-Spring Boa nets-Bride Parlies. [Jennie Jar e's Fashion Letter.] NEW TORE, April 1 April should be a pleasant montttthls year, for it gives us with its first incomings Easter flowers, Easier festivities and Easter fashions Not that Lent has been doll by any means; for since religion ls fashionable, even a Lenten season has its bright side, and we have had Nil-son to give lt additional attraction. But fashion does not take naturally to penitence, though softened by manifold indulgences, and therefore the advent of Easter with Its ga et y and fresh toilettes is heartily welcom? ed, and one can be as fashionable and as pi? ous as one pleases. In fact, you cannot be fashionable without being pious. The age is really a golden one for the pas? tors and churches. They are the pets of thousands of women who have nothing to do, and who find in the flatteries and attentions they'receive in the little committee meetings and sewing societies, in the business of ge t . ting new cushions and surplices, and dressing gowns and school libraries, Just the mild and refined sort of dissipation which fills up the gap in their lives, and rescues them from the dreariness of isolation and Insanity. Men consider it rather an amiable weakness than otherwise, and besides lt leaves them free to attend to their own matters; so they willingly hand over the funds lor church purposes, ano are proud of a wife who ls sought as "direct re.- s" of this, that, or the other, because it adds somewhat to their social importance and the family respectability. How different ls this rose leaf and well-to? -do religion from that which hld Itself away in the caves and corners of the earth; which was despised and persecuted of men; which had neither form nor comeliness, and no beauty that could make it desired. One can hardly recognize it as the same tblng. Nevertheless, lt is very pleasant; one cannot help liking it. It 19 as fine, in Its way, as an opera, to go to church on Easter morning and hear the an thoms and the carols sung by precisely ihe i same voices that gave the grand concert at > two dollars'a ticket last week; to see the high < altar decorated with cosily hot-house flowers, j instead of thorns; to see the white-handed ' minister, with his throng of female worship- i pero, and to watch the advent bf the ladles of 1 his family as they rustle up the aisle in the I latest of Pails toilets. It 1B nice, whether it 1 is religious -or not; and, like a magnificent I theatre cr dry goods score, lt ls Just the sort < 'of thing that people are willing to pay for. i EASTER TOILETS. j The American grande dame has a passion for , rich silk. Whether lt ls the rustle, or the gloss, ? or the soft shimmer which reflects back a thou? sand lights from Its surface, or whether travel ling back over the past, it ls the desire which some hard-working, housewifely ancestress waa nevar able to gratify lor the "bravery"' of "silken attire." Whatever may be the cause the fact remains the same, the American, and especially the New York lady, never feels "dressed,'" excepting in soft thick silk, which . ( faces her about in every direction, and has I j nothing "patchy" like a different colored sack-, or a woollen oversklrt, to disturb her , equanimity. It is no use talking up Ger- , mau "material" costumes as cbeap, service- , able, and truly economical. The delicate j nose tums up with a sniff at their > dullness, ungainliness, and lmpracticabili- ( ty, and pays out without a murmur a hundred , and fifty dollars, Instead of fifteen, for the finer , design, the softer, more yielding fabric. Gray { stuffs, gray cashmere, gray alpaca, may be the t livery of woe in France, but why should we go c Into mourning because France bas been un- , fortunate? Ask a hundred, gay and brilliant ? belles who find baskets of Easter flowers at their bedsides when they wake In the morn- ? iog. and dressing tables covered with notes of ? Invitation lo this grand parly and that elegant ? reception! No wonder that, In the Intoxica- , tion, everything ls. forgotten but Vie desire to ? shine, and lights are turned on gorgeous silks , and delicate laces, and existence made to turn ? on the pivot of their possession. The new fashions ol tints and colors have , Struck the cultivated fancy of society women, , and made them all eager for new spring toi- j lettes. Tue tinted tallies are wonderfully lovely, and those who can afford costumes complete of a single tint are confident of being well dressed. At the great Bpring exhibitions the best feature, by far, consisted of the new faille silks arraved In a series of three differ- t ent shades to a color, and In an infinite varie- ] ty of wood, brown, golden, buff leaf, snake, \ sand and shell lints. It was heartrending to < se* these beautiiul and cosily fabrics, upon I which art and skid seemed to be exhausted, i and then go up stairs and examine the elabo- \ lately ugly and buoched-up costumes into which they were made, and in which every s ?article of their beauty seemed to be lost, i he styles were those of three years ago- t . ?hort, tucked-up overskirts, niched and ruf- c fled, and bowed and feathered ; skirls flounced, t and niched and bowed also; basque ditto, 1 torly or' fifty yards of material used, and in- > finite labor expended, to make ugliness trans- t cendant. I The "Dolly Varden" polonaise and over .skirt seems to have given the cue for the res I toratlon of bump*, and pannier skirts are 1 more bouffant than ever, and the lankiness of < the lower patt of the skirt (hoops not now < being worn by ladles with any pretensions to i fashion) renders the excessive tournure all t the more conspicuous and absurd. The "girl I of the period" style, which has been the Inex- i haust! ble theme of the comic papers lor year s past, bas returned upon us in full force, with peaked crowned hats on the top of the cblg-11 oon to render the foolery more complete. 11 "DOLLY VARDENS." More about the "Dolly Vardens" may seem 11 superfluous to readers who are au fail lu the [ 1 new spring styles, and who have sense enough to attach to this fashion Just the amount of int portance which lt deserves, and no more But the excitement in regard to lt, as I evinced in numerous letters, and the mixed I Id eis with regard to the spacial mission ot ] "Dolly Varden" which prevail among young ladles in the rural districts, make it necessary to be explicit at the risk of being tedious, and repeating a twice told iale. The "Dolly Var-1 ] den" then is simply a bunched up overdress | j ault in antique style, and made ot any flow? ered material, which most resembles old fashioned chintz brd-room furniture. The French call it the "Watteau," which belongs to the same period and ls precisely similar, except tbat the "Watteau" bas generally been i j worn as a "fancy" drese, and made In rich | i material, while the "Dolly VArden" (who was the pretiy daughter ot a locksmith) came up from the ranks, and was flrtt introduced in flowered cotton chintz lor mourning wear, and has only recectly been promoted to silk and brocade. In ihe city a "Dolly Varden" could never be worn in the street, but in the .country, upon occasions, they will undoubted ly be adopted by young girlf>, and will answer admirably for the promenade, and the early visit lo the springs at ihe watering-places. In making them care must be taken not only in the purchase of >the materials, but In cutting them so as to preserve the integrity of the idea. The t-leeves must be antique, that ls, close at the top, with deep ruffles. The high boddlce cut In one with the skirt to open , in front, but closes so as to form a long waist, cut with a spring which deepens almost Into points back and front. Tne skirt ls looped up In five different places, three at the back, one upon each side, with velvet ribbon loops. The material for "Dolly Vardens" are numer? ous and varied. There are cotton Chintze?, wlihback, white and tinted grounds. The latter are considered the most distingue. , There are also chintz floured fouiards, which are more stylish than chintz, In black and tinted grounds and richer striped silks, broca? ded wiih flowers, employed for the "Dolly Vardens" that are used to complete dinner .costumes. In the ready-made departments of some of the dry goods* house-, confu-Lm is not unlre quently created in the minds of inexperienced persons by exhibiting "Dolly Vardens," and calling them "Cretonnes." This name only Meiers to the material, "Cretonne," a thick finished lurnltare chintz, of which they are composed, and which hos heretofore been used for curtains, covering lounges and the like. EMBROIDERED COSTUMES AND OVERDRESSES. Every lady, with any pretensions to fashion, bas now one or more embroidered costumes in her wardrobe. The costumes sometimes consist of a jacket or barque and overskiit; sometimes of a polonaise, which forms a jacker, and possibly a vest, simulated by trim rains or embroidery, and overskirt. Fine black cashmere, beautifully embroidered and trimmed with black guipure lace, have been the dlsideratum for the past two year/), and are as elegant and desirable as ever. But the latest material lor costumes is camel's hair cloth, in the light snuff, brown, wood, dust and cameo tints, embroidered with the light? est to the darkest shades of the color, and bordered with a rich, wide guipure lace, matching the material. The fabric ls very soft, all wool, and drapes easily. It has a somewhat rough, twilled surface, and would only be recognized as distinguished by the initiated. It is expensive-the embroidered material, with lace to match, sufficient to trim, costing from seventy-five to one hun? dred dollars the set. The lowest price for the cloth unembroidered is two dollars per yard. Armure foulards are very much used for dressy oversklrts, but have not taken the place of China crepe, which is, however, more employed upon Imported toilettes than those ot home manufacture. Fringe and lace are the trimmings used, narrow guipure or point lace being often used as a heading to rich fringe. Later In the season, white satin, striped or gaudy, and black satin striped grenadine will be used for handsome overskirts and over? dresses, with skirts of light tinted silks, or grenadine in a plain black color. '.Satin" striped or gaudy ls a novelty In white muslin; ihe stripes are an inch broad, and have a satin finished surface. It "does up" nicely, and will m ike pretty summer suits or house dresses, as lt will need but little trim? ming. Black satin striped grenadine ls used this season Instead ol the black with a white stripe, which was so much in vogue last year. Of course both will be worn; but the all-black is later, and considered more lady-like, which lt cerlaiuly Is. particularly for the married dames who principally adopt these high over? dresses for balf ceremonious toilettes. On black satin striped grenadine, bias ruffles may be used as trimming; on striped organdy, blas ruffles, or blas bands edged with lace. All the new overskirts are made long, very long at the back, but draped high at the sides, with the apron front. 8rRIN0 AND SUMMER BONNETS. There Is not much to add to what has here? tofore been said in reference to the new elyles in spring and summer bonnets. The new material is principally straw, and lhere ls nothing new or distinctive in ihe shape of the Donnel ilself. Whatever ls accomplished for t In that line must be done by the milliner. The principal effort seems io be expended in mpanlng to the plain straw crown the high, nil appearance of the soft, high crown, which jecame so great a favorite in velvet during .ne past winter. To effect ibis, standing oops of ribbon in two colors, or two shades >f one color, are employed as a puffing of soft, rich silk lace or crape, surrounded by folds of I silk, ribbon or velvet, or silk and velvet al- [ ternating. The gros grain or faille silk ire u=ed for pipings, or narrow folds Tor both the inside and outside edges of ?ne English straw bonnets edged with narrow lace. Black lace ie much used In conjunction ?vita straw trimmings; also velvet with pop? ples and field flowers. Upon black lace, jranches ot acacia are arranged to droop at .he back, the front being filled with a large 'Alsatian" bow of black lace, with broad jarbe ends, turned back, and an ornament ; ;ompr!sed of flies with light transparent wings t :n the centre. This Alsatian bow is a novelty, j ind forms an elaborate head-dress, or an eu- i Lire trimming for a bonnet Itself. It Is usually j composed of black lace, silk or velvet, lined ind piped with a contrasting color, buff, I i French gray, very light green, pink or blue. ) 1 Dbe bow is square; the ends cut like the bow >n the cross, and when 'h? whole is properly t nade and arranged lt gi> ? quite a new and l >lcturesque appearance lo a plain bonnet of | lae English or Italian straw. The Alsatian i ion net was the latest and most stylish novelty it list season, and the Alsatian bow gives l rery much the same effect to an ordinary <. )onneL ( The "long" English crape, that is crape witli i i long crlnKle, heretofore only seen In black, i s now made in all the new tints and colors, t ind ls used to combine with sl.k for "cos? tume" bonnets. Branches of the Vegonla, or I . round leaf geranium are employed for trim? mings in preference to flowers, when the color s French gray. However, "Paris In ashes," roses, (gray Tushed roses with vivid red ;dges,j are the most suitable ornaments with vide bow of French gray faille ribbon and ringed ends. BRIDES' PARTIES. A species of afternoon party is becoming J julie the vogue among the ulira-fashlooables if New York society, which ls so charact eda? le of the general love of notoriety and dls ilay that lt is worth recording. These are vhat ls called "brides parlies," as they are ^elusively composed of ladles, and consist of J he bride's most Intimate friends.' Full drees ? s not required. A handsome demi-trained risking costume ls sufficient, as the ladies do iot always even remove their bonnets. They rather in groups, however, in the drawing ?oom, admire the pictures and the flowers, ind the ferneries with which lt ls decorated, mat about the Interesting coming event, Bip .ea from transparent china cups, nibble at 'lach-anders," and, finally, are taken to the Hide's sitting-room, or her mamma's botidour, ;o Inspect tue trousseau, whl;h is arranged br their approval and admiration. "Lovely," 'exquisite," "charming" are chorussed from ?alf a hundred lips; and "don't I wish it was [ that was going to be married" declares one >t the youngest and most truthful of the :rowt), who really does not wish it half so nuch as the forry-nlne others, who begin to iee, with distraction, the evidence of time on irow, cheek and bair, and no prospect of any leceosity ior a trousseau of their own. Fine embroidery, wrought upon the linen, S now the fashionable method of ornament? ing underclothing, and is much more sui'abie, is well as more durable than lace or ruffling. LINEN SUITS ire principally cnt with a skirt and polonaise, :be latter generally the Marguerite. As the ?varm weather advances many 'different styles will be introduced, buttbe skirt aud polonaise will be mainly adhered to, and -the simpler .he design for washing materials, the better it iooks, aud the longer lc retains Its fresh ap? pearance. NECK TIES ind ornaments for the throat have become liiiie an expensive ilem. They are of pale : willed silk, with or without fringe ends, the irlnge forming knotted tassels. Others are ol willed silk, edged with Valenciennes; the ends forming a cascade, composed ot alternate mella of t UK and lace. New tinted searls, tor street wear, are composed of soft twilled silk, with wide diagonal stripes shaded from dark to light in tne same color. Broad scarfs of black lace are also knotted loosely round the throat, the ends (ailing at the back', the body part laying in broad folds upon the breast. This style ls very picturesque for house w<ar, over a dress of gray si k or fine cashmere.' THE WAS IX MEXICO. MATAMORAS, Abril 3. General Cortina, after his defeat at Baguria, succeeded In evading the revolutionists in pursuit of him, and reached bis headquarters it Reynosa yesterday with an escort of about ten men. General Quiroga Is reported to bave reviewed his iroops at C.imargo and marched out of that place, leaving a small garrison on guard, towards Llnuves to join his troops, which are said to be gathering to id vance on this city. The Matamoras autho? rities captured over one hundred bead ot Holen Texas catt le belog crossed into Mexi :o. and caught six ol' the thieves, who were lodged lu Jail here. This ls the second raid )n the cattle thieves by Ibe authorities here, who seem very suddeHly roused lo a sense of their duty in consequence of the late action ol Congress. Eight prisoners from the revolu? tionists reached here to day. THE XETAIRE RACES. NEW ORLEANS, April 4. The races have beeu postponed until Satur? day on account of the heavy track, caused by the recent ralus. The races announced for the third day will take place Saturday, and the rest of tue programme ?111 then follow in reg? ular order. The weather now ls charming. THE DRIFT OF POLITICS. WHAT THE PAPERS SAT OF THE LIB? ERAL MOVEMENT. Horace Greeley Gives ap Protection as a Plank tn lils Platform. NEW YORK, AprlU. Horace Greeley says In to-day's Tribune: "To all who would wish to fill our columns with their notions of what ought to be done at the Cincinnati Convention, we say send dele? gates that will present your views to the con? vention or go yourself and submit them." He reiterates that he does not seek or desire any utterance from Cincinnati in lavor of protec? tion, and he says that he doubts not that the convention will recognize a rule allowing each supporter of the movement a vole on economic quest ions as he thinks flt. One of ihe foremost "Republicans of New York, Mr. Isaac Sherman, ne says, declined lo sign the call because lt did not commit signers to free trade. An Inspiring Example of Political Courage. [From the New York-World.} One act of courage, at last, by the Liberal Republicans outside ot Missouri ! We hope the New York endorsement of the call may redeem the movement from the peril in which it was put by the passive supineness of some of Its prominent leaders. We had ex? pected that Mr. Sumner and ene or two other eminent anti-Grant Republicans would have committed themselves publicly and unequivo? cally lo the Cincinnati Convention previous to the Connecticut election and in season io bave some Influence on the result. In a crisis which demands, above all things, boldness, we were surprised and disappointed to find signs of halting timidity. To be sure, the Cin? cinnati Convention ls no affair of ourp, and Democrats bave no title to criticise lt except from the point of view ol' spectator?. But lt would be sheer affectation to pretend that we are Indifferent spectators. There ls a possi? bility, and we at one time thought a strong probability, thal our National Conven? tion would endorse and adopt tbe Cincinnati ticket, if wisely selected. But this, of course, depends on whether the Liberal Republicans are able to give their ticket a strong and in? dependent, support. Until Lhe publication of the New York call, the Missouri invitation seemed like a motion which nobody cared to take the responsibility of seconding; all its ffell-wlsbers seeming inclined to walt uni ii liter the close of the contest In Connecticut, ind keep open a way of retreat if the stress rf political weather should make lt expedi? ent to seek refuge in the Grant harbor. The Se w York indorsement of the Missouri cali re? leves the situation, and sets an Inspiring ex? ample of political courage. Without waiting :o see how Connecticut goes, the Influential signers ot the New York call commit them? selves publicly and Irrevocably to the Cincin? nati Convention, and redeem the movement from the peril to which it was exposed by the supineness and apparent pusillanimity of some of Ks leaders. This act of timely ln :repldlty has saved the movement, and there is still a chance, almost a certainty, that the Cincinnati Convention will organize a for? midable Republican opposition to Gen. Grant. 3f course Mr. Greeley will now be the chief target for the envenomed shafts ot Grant's sy? cophants. Mr. Greeley has. on many previous )CcaslOD8, made good lils title to be considered is a man of rare political courage aod lndepen lenee; but on no previous occasion has he jeted with such signal and decisive boldness is In signing the New York call without wali? ng to see whether Connecticut endorses or -epudlates the administration. If Mr. Sumner lad, ten days ago, evinced equal Intrepidity, ive should regard the success of the Cincin? nati movement as secured. But Mr. Greeley's nfluence ls superior to Mr. Sumner's; for vbile they may perhaps have equal claims as bunders of the Republican party, Mr. Gree ey, as editor of Us ablest and most powerful lariy organ, wields an Influence over the pop tlar mind which no other Republican siatt-s nan can pretend to rival. The NPw York call s tlg?ed only by Republican?, and addressed >nly to Republicans, which betokens a just Incrimination as to the character of the move nent. Democrats are mere lookers-on and lot participants, reserving their freedom of ictlon until the meeting of their National Con? tention. gamea that Give Weight and Dignity to the Movement. [From the Washington Patriot.] The New York Liberals have answered the :all fur the Cincinnati convention, and in a spirit which cannot fall to attract favor. Tills movement bas been well considered, and is the result of much Interchange ot opinion In md out of the State. It bears the external evidence of a concerted and resolute purpose io defeat Geo. Grant at all hazards. The names rf many leading men, some of whom have al? ways been conspicuous in the Republican party, and others who were associated with the ?ntl-slavciy cause, give weight and digni? fy to a demonstration which ls destined, in one form or another, to exercise a large Influence jpon the politics of the country, and to liv'de and destroy the Radical organi? sa; ion in New York. It would b-; ab? surd to suppose that the Cincinnati Con? tention, any more tban the Labor Reform Convention could expeot to elect Its candi? dates without the aid of the Democratic party. If, iherelore, any Intention or desire exists to bring about cordial co-operation among all the clements of opposition, lt may be taken for zraoled ihat the prudent Liberals, who mean something more than frothy declamation, and who aim at a natloral triumph, will consider .low this object is lo be best attained. If ihe jlass, who are the bane ot all parties, and who seek lo rule or ruin, should unfortunately loralnate, all hope of any such union may be abandoned from lhe outset. The great con? servative opinion of the country, which occu? pies the middle ground between political extremes, and always decides Presidential elections, cannot be led In any such way. It would be criminal In presence of so grand an opportunity as now exists lo repeat the exper? tness which defeated the Republicans In 1856 and the Democrats In 1868. Ita Meaning to the Democracy. [From the Philadelphia Age.] Calls multiply. In New York, Horace Gree? ley and a large number of active and Influen? tial Republicans Invite all Republicans who agree with them to co-operate in the move? ment of the "Liberal Republicans" who will assemble at Cincinnati on the 1st of May. It Is significant of ihe depth and extent of the dissatisfaction in New York that among the signers of the manifesto in that State ls the Hon. Frederick A. Conkllng, a gentleman of high personal and political distinction, and wno ls a brother to Senator Conkllng, tbe admlnistrr Hon leader in New York. Another call has oeen Issued to tne "Conventions ot the Liberal Republicans and that of the Re? union and Reform organization." The lan? guage of the New York Republicans Indi? cates a purpose to resist and avert the dangers and evils they name by liberal and Independent political action. The course of lt ls, and will be, watched v. Ith great interest by all patriotic Democrats. The position from which they will regard lt 19 their own political ftandpelnt. Their test of the platform promulgated will bethe princi? ples of free, constitutional government, as es? tablished by tbe agreements of the States, which ls the basis and the limit of all legiti? mate Federal authority. Their open denunci? ation ot the Belflsh, venatand unconstitutional policy ot the leaders they refuse any longer to follow, has carried conviction ti* the minds of a vast number ofciiizens. who are led by other than tbe general lnt-resl in their adhe Bion to political parties. The majority of the voters, under universal suffrage, may be, for a time, misinformed and misled, but they can? not, even In the present vast expansion of patronage, be bought or swerved by a per? sonal Interest. The Alarm Call. [From the Boston Post. In responso to the movement In Missouri, which ls to culminate In tho Cincinnati C in? vention, the public declaration of leading Re? publicans Io New York is a worthy and wel? come manifestation. It con lams a literal con? fession of the necessity lor lhe proposed a5 sembiy, citing the several causes which have led the sinners to give their adhesion to the timely plan. Tue Bignera of this Impressive pnliiical manifesto are amone the foremost Republicans of New York. They avow their acceptance of lhe Invitation to attend the Liberal Republican Convention at Cincinnati, and their determination io be present at the date of Ks assemblage. They declare their full and entire sympathy with Its purpose, and expreFs thc hope that the move? ment already begun may spread through all the States. And to prove their own flncerlty, they Invite all the Republicans of New York who agree with them to co-ope? rate In their action. If the convention that has been thus called and thus cordially re? sponded to shall proceed discreetly, yet firm? ly, in Vs action, its influence on the future ot the government and country will be both ap? parent and permanent. The necessity of the hour ls to purge the government of its present Incompetent and corrupt rulers. Another four | years of such rule as the country ls now stag? gering under, threatens the final loss of every treasure and feature of free governmeht. This [call for the Cincinnati Convention is but the stroke of the fire-bell that summons everybody from slumber to the work of rescue. A Platform Broad Enough for all to Stand Un. j [From the Cincinnati Enquirer ] Is there a word In tjjat political- platform which any Democrat may dissent from ? Read it and judge. We can stand upon that, and accept as political brethren all who believe in lt. The Cincinnati Convention and Demo? cratic Convention could not do a wiser thing than adopt lr. Then, with candidates who fit? ly represent lt, the country will be carried against Grant by a popular outburst such as has not been seen since 1850. POLITICAL NOTES BT TELEGRAPH. A Temperance Ticket In Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS, April 4. The Slate Temperance Convention met here to-day, with one hundred delegates lu attend? ance. There was great difference of opinion as to the policy ol nominating a separate tick? et on a temperance platform, but the question was finally carried ld the affirmative, lo the great dissatisfaction of ilie opposing delegates, who left the convention in a body, and to the number of forty. A full Slate ticket was then nominated by the convention aud a temper? ance platform adopted. A Partial Radical Victory. PROVIDENCE, R. I., April 4. The rel urn? of the Rhode Island State elect tlon. held yesterday, show that the Demo? cratic candidate fer lieutenant-governor Charles R. Cutler, ls elected by 297 votes, With this exception the Radical State ticket was elected. The Connecticut Legislature. HARTFORD, April 4. The State election makes a Radical gain of four on a Joint ballot ia the State Legislature. A BACKWARD SEASON. The Crops In Spartanburg. The Carolina Spartan reports that this ls confessedly the most backward season In the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The snows and raiDs have been so frequent that our far? mers are all greatly behind hand in the pre? paration for their crops. By this time, usual? ly, all are far advanced and many through with planting corn. Now very lew have com? menced planting, or bave even finished break? ing up their grounds preparatory to planting, and the weather al this writing ls cold enough for January. This, with the Interruptions caused by the numerous arrests, and the back? wardness of ihe season, our prospects are gloomy enough. The Prospects in Newberry. The backward seasons experienced so far, says the Newberry Herald, have so retarded farming operations that but little has as yet been done towards the next crop, and Indeed lt Is reasonable to fear that the lateness of the plantiug will seriously affect lt. Such a pro? tracted winter, ao much rain and snow, ls not recollected to have occurred in the memory of the oldest individuals, and the consequence ls that much valuable time has been lost. The f-ar ls felt, too, that the summer will prove a dry one; for, according to scientific theory and experience, only so much rain falls during the year, and this, If not equally divided, canses drought. Outside of this consideration, it ls remembered that the July and August droughts generally occur, and unless the crops have an early start, which ls not the present case, eeiious loss ls sustained. A BREEZE IN TEE NETHERLANDS. THE HAOCE, April 4. The celebration of independence through? out Holland to-day was attended with disor? ders and breaches of peace at various points. The greatest disturbances occurred at Oster? h?rn in Non h Brabant, where a mob collected, broke windows of houses and committing other outrages-the demonstrations finally becoming so threatening that the town authorities found it necessary to call upou the military to suppress the riot. Upon the ap? pearance of the troops the mob dispersed, but several persons were found to have been seriously Injured before quiet was restored. The cause of the outbreak ls supposed to be dissatisfaction with the new ministry. JOTTINGS ABOUT TUE STATE. -Proposals are invited for rebuilding the I ' courthouse for Abbeville County. -An attractive premium Hst has been an? nounced lor the approaching lair of the Abbe- ' ville Agricultural society. -The residence of Mr. William C.

The barometer will continue falling from I < the Lower Missouri Valley to Lake Superior, 11 with southerly winds, increased cloudiness and possibly threatening weather during to? night, and extend Its Influence on Friday over the tipper laKe region and to the Ohio Valley. Partially cloudy but pleasant weather, with easterly winds, is probable for the Soulhern , States: clear and partially cloudy weather will nrevillover the'New England and Middle 8tates.
