MESSRS. EDITORS: Will you please publish
the following linos, written by a lady of Ha?
vannah, Georgia? They express so much
feeling and patriotism-so much soul-that
no true Southron can read them without
having every fibre of the heart touched.
It is due to tho unknown fair one, to say,
that the lines are published, without her
consent or knowledge, by a stranger, into
whoso hands a manuscript copy fell by
fortunate accident, and who, most respect
folly, begs forgiveness for publishing
them; pleading as excuse his own high ap?
preciation of their merit, and a general
desire expressed, by several friends, to
procure printed copies for preservation.
Pj
.?TUejr Cry Peace, Peace, when there
is no Pea?*."
They are ringing poace on my heavy ear
No peace to my hoavy heart! ?
?They are ringing peace, I hear! I hear!
Oh, God! how my hopes depart!
They are ringing peace from the mountain
side;
With a hollow voico it comes- .
Thor aro ringing peace o'er the foaming
tide.
And its echoes fill onr homes.
They are ringing peace, and thc spring?
time blooms
Like a garden fresh and fair!
But our martyrs sleep in thoir silent
tombs -
Do they hear that sound-do they hear?
They are ringing peace, and the battle
cry,
And the bayonet's work aro done,
And the armor bright, they are laying by,
From the brave siro to the son.
And the musket's clang, and thc soldier's
drill,
And thc tattoo's nightly sound;
We shall hear no more, with a jovous
thrill,
Feace, peace, they arc ringing round!
There women, still as thc stifled air
On the burning desert's track,
Not a cry of joy-not a welcome cheer
And their brave ones coming back!
There are fair young heads, in their morn?
ing pride,
Like, thc lUics pale they bow;
Just a memory left to the soldier's bride
Ah, God! sustain her now!
There aro martial steps that wo may not
hear!
There are forms we may not sec!
Death's muster roll, they have answered
clear,
Tliey are free! titanic Ced, ikey ure free:
Not a fetter fast, nor a prisoner's chain,
For thc noble army gone
No conquerer comes o'er the heavenly
plain
Feace, peace to the dead alone!
They are ringing peace, but strangers
tread
O'er the land where our fathers trod,
And our birthright joys; like a dream, have
fled,
And Thou! where art Thou, oh, God!
They arc ringing peace! not here, not here,
Where tho victor's mark is set;
Koli back to the North its mocking cheer
No peace to the South-land vet!
A SAVANNAH LADY.
Tiglit Lacing.
A lady correspondent of nu Edin
burg paper writes as follows on thc
subject of wearing corsets :
" I am one of those pitiable objects
who [occasionally draw forth the
warmest remarks of doctors and
elderly ladies. I am the envied pos?
sessor of a waist of sixteen inches.
Now, please, Mr. Editor, allow me,
as one of your constant readers,. to
say a very few words on the other
side ; for, you know, no one can judge
properly of a question without hear?
ing both sides. In the first place, as
regards the beauty of a small waist :
the present style of dress makes a
natural-sized waist look terribly clum?
sy. It is all very well for the Greeks
and Romans, and the often-referred
to Venus de Medicis, but not for a
young lady of our own times. Next,
as to the dreadful effects of tight
lacing. When stays were made of
buckram and iron, the doctors might
have had some cause to write against
them ; but look at the beautiful French
corsets now universally worn. They
are quite a different article of dress.
Besides, even in the last century, when
stays were made so stiff and cut so
straight, ladies enjoyed good health
and were even more robust than those
of the present dav. Again fchere'are
actually more women in the kingdom
than men, which would not be the
case if, during so many years, I may
say centuries, tight-lacing had really
been tho 'suicide' it has been called.
I have often thought it very hard
that, if a young lady faints or dies
suddenly, she should immediately be
accused of haviug brought it on by
tight-lacing: Do men never faint or
die suddenly ? and ure they not sub?
ject to consumption, spinal deformi?
ties, and those other diseases which
have beer, ascribed to tho corset ?
For my own part, I never suffered
any iin;c?iv?iueuoe. from this fashion,
and my wnist is smaller than the ma?
jority. The great secret is to begin
early ; by this means the figure is
moulded easily to a slender shape,
without the severe compression neces
airy when the figure has been ne- !
gleeted till ar? advanced age/ If tte
corset is carefully fitted, and plenty
?frOOlh ftlloVTPd -rnn-nA ^hC" "ppt
part of the chest, no inconvenience
need bc caused. Can we be blamed
for doing citar best to please ? Gen*"
tlemon admire a slender figure ; arid
can it be expected that any one will
voluntarily make a "wall-flower" of
herself because those to whom fash?
ion is no longer an object of concern
rake np old-fashioned prejudices
against the most attractive element
of female beauty ? Feeling sure you?
will give me a fair hearing, I am, sir,
yours respectfully,
"CRINOLINA."
The Empress of Austria is said to be
one of the most beautiful women in
Europe, and famed for the kindness
of her temper, notwithstanding her
rather haughty bearing. She is tall,
slender, graceful, with a very ?white
skin, and when pretty welL a good
deal of color, large, limpid blue eyes,
and an amazing head of light hair,
which she wears in eight massive
braids, wound round and round ber
head, forming a magnificent diadem
of hair, such as very few women could
match from their own resources. She
speaks all the principal tongues of
Europe, and is particularly fond of
the English language, which she
speaks perfectly, as though it vere
her native dialect. She is an excel?
lent musician, paints and draws ex?
tremely well, and is one of the boldest
and most skillful horsewomen of Aus?
tria. She possesses a stud of valuable
horses, and a pack of splendid hounds ;
and is said to take the warmest inter?
est in the racing and hunting of Eu?
rope, and to know by heart the names
of tho heroes of the turf, biped and
quadruped, of all the countries of
Europe.

blows nobody good," and, consequently,
congratulate yon ina! your well Known

Thc safe you made *or me some time
ago was in the office o. the Museum, on
thc second floor, back part of thc building,
and in the hottest of thc fire.
After twenty-four hours of trial, it was
found among the debris, and on opening
it this dav has yielded up its contents in
very good order -books, papers, policies of
insurance, bank bills, all in condition for
immediate use, and a noble commentary
