THE TOILET OT A LADT WHO LOVES
THE SOOTH.-At Max Maretzek's
?/and ball, veeontly given iu New
ork, was present a lady, from Balti?
more, whose labors in behalf of the
Southern people have made her a he?
roine. And to compliment so lovely
a being-for a beautiful Baltimore
lady, who sympathizes with 'is of the
South, is the most interesting crea?
ture in the world-we reproduce, from
a Republican paper, the following ac?
count of her and her costume at the
bul d'opera :
"More in keeping with the occa?
sion, but not less chaste, was the
toilette of a well-known lady of bal?
timore, who, for the last month, has
worked harder than any down-trod?
den Cuffee ever dreamed of, in be?
half of the Southern Relief Fair, and
who, we are told, " cried her eyes
red," because her young husbaud
would take her away from her work
and make her expend so much on a
costume, when the cry for common
clothes and common food comes up
from the desolated hearth-stones of
her fair Southern home-land. Sim?
ple, yet extremely elegant, was her
toilet, a princesa robe of white vel?
vet, the corsage was low and round,
but over it was a tiny berthe of point
applique, lined with pink satin; this
berthe was cat square, or what is
known as the Pompadour stylo, which
is the most fashionable cut for
the necks of dresses, whether
low, or half-low, or three-quarters.
Covering each of the seams were1
barbes of pointes applique laid over
bands of pink satin. While kid
slippers, trimmed on the toes with
real roses, which emitted perfume at
every step, and even when the little
twinkling feet were stiTL White kid
gloves with bracelets of rosa-coral,
the most delicate and exquisite gem
of the lapidaries' art that were pre?
sent on the occasion; ear rings en
suite, a coiffure of Metternich curls
and natural magnolias, completed
this most artistic and exquisite toi?
lette. On complimenting the lady on
her success, she replied proudly, "My
husband gave me a check for $1,000,
with special directions and supplica?
tions that I should get myself up
worthy of myself and worthy of the
occasion, and he assures me I have
done so, though I bought nothing
new but my gloves and my slippers,
and the magnolias in my hair." Let
not men talk of tho extravagance of
womeu after this. That it was an ex?
ceptional case, counts nothing.
THE METHODIST CHURCH, NORTH.
The Methodist Conference (East)
closed its labors this afternoon. In
the earlier part of the day, the Com?
mittee on Relations with the Church,
South, submitted a report, stating, in
substance, that the answer which
had been received from the New Or?
leans Conference to the overtures for
concert of prayer, for unity of heart
in our nation, and for the general
harmony of Methodism, was not satis?
factory. Nevertheless, the Commit?
tee would recommend that the clergy j
and laity hero should pray without
ceasing for the spiritual prosperity of
the Southern brethren, etc., etc.
This report gave rise to an animated
discussion. It was finally tabled, the
prevailing sentiment seeming to bo
that its spirit was cruel and arrogant
towards the Southern church.
The correspondent of a Republican
journal in New York has been taking
a rido from Mobile to Nashville. On
his way he encountered this singular
adventure :
In the North-western part of Clark
County, near the line of Wilcox, I
met a man on horse back who was
without a single arm. I saluted hun
after the military style, when he re?
turned it, as .veli as ho could, with
the stump of his arm, which only
reached to the elbow. We both stopped
and a conversation ensued. * * *
We then shook hands and parted.
The deficiency bill, which has boen
approved bv the President, provides,
among other things, $100,000 for
light-housos on the Southern coast,
destroyed during the war; $54,04)0 for
refurnishing and repairing the Exe?
cutive mansion; $30,000 for the Lin?
coln funeral expenses, and $100,000
for the purchase of Ford's theatre.

From Wa?Ulngion. ?t-j
Prominent Republican members of
Congress hare asserted lately that the
icfeam enforcing npon thc Southern
States, without 'heir consent, an ex?
tension of. the elective franchise, has
been abandoned in caucus aa- detri?
mental to party interest^-that this
recognition of tho rights of mun will
come in its own time and for the
Sresent the subject must be delayed,
t the -same time-strangely incon?
sistent with these views-it is stated
that there is no doubt of the passage
by the Senate of the House bill ex
banding thc privilege to the multitude
of freedmen in this District. If this
bill passes, it will certainly be vetoed,
and a prospect of a triumph over thc
Executive in that is very question?
able. Many of tho Rep?b?ctms en?
dorse Lane's propositi >n for allowing
those negroes io vote who read and
write and pay taxes ou $250 worth of
property. This is one of the subjects
which the radicals seem determined
to settle in one way or the other be?
fore the adjournment.
Several prominent radical Senators
who saw the President to-day say
that the effect of tho passage of the
civil rights bill over the veto has been
to modify his antagonism to Congress,
and they predict the speedy adoption
by Congress of a plan for the restora?
tion of the late insurgent Slates,
which will be satisfactory to thc
North and meet tho President's ap?
proval. Mr. Johnson, last, evening,
said to Senator Trumbull,-that he had
exercised his constitutional preroga?
tive in vetoing the bill, and Congress
had exorcised its right in passing it
over Iiis veto, and he should feel
bound by their action.
There is x report to-day that a pro?
gramme for the "restoration" of the
States will be submitted to Congress
by tho committee having the matter
in charge during the present month.
\Coi: Philadelphia hedger.
While tho Senate was in executive
session to-day, an attempt was made
to get Lewis!). Campbell confirmed
as Minister to Mexico, but it failed;
and it is not now likely he will be
confirmed.
Mr. Stephens has been very frank
and cordial with all who have called
npdPh him, and has expressed his sen?
timents upon the aspect of affairs and
the feeling of the Southern people,
without auy restraint whatever, to
friend and opponent alike. Messrs.
Wilson, of the Senate, and Stevens,
of the House, both of whom have
held interviews with him, could not
fail to have_ been convinced of the
sincerity of the eminent Georgian
I and his attachment to the Union; yet
not a word of encouragement did
either give that he or :iny of the
Southern members would be allowed
to take their seats.
There are several important items
upon which the committee find them?
selves still unable to agree. The pro?
posal to increase the tax upon cotton
from two to five cents per pound is
now said to bc a doubtful question.
Some of the members regard it as
doubtful policy to recommend or levy
any tax at all for a year or two to
come.
RKMAKKHBLK HISTORY OP A. TOR
PKDO BOAT-General Maury's report
of. the defences of Mobile narrates
the eventful history of a torpedo
boat, as follows :
lt was built of boiler iron, was
about thirty-five feet long, and was
manned by a crew of nine men,
eight of whom worked the propeller
by hand. The ninth steered the
boat, and regulated her movements j
below the surface of the water. She
could be submerged at pleasure to
any desired depth, or could be pro?
pelled upon the surface. In smooth,
still water, her movements were ex?
actly controlled, and her speed was
about four knots. It was intended
that she should approach any vessel
lying at anchor, pass under her keel,
and drag a floating torpedo, which
would explode on striking the sidu or
bottom of tho ship attacked.
She could remain submerged more
than half an hour without inconve?
nience to her crew.
Soon after her arrival in Charles?
ton, Lieutenant Payne, of the Con?
federate 'navy, with eight others,
volunteered to attack the Federal
fleet with her. While preparing for
their expedition, the swell of a pass?
ing steamer caused the boat to sink
suddenly, and all hands, except
Lieutenant Payne, who ut the mo?
ment was standing in the open hatch?
way, perished. She was soon raised j
and again made ready for service.
Lieutenant Payne again volunteered |
to command her. While lying near
Fort Sumter she capsized and again j
sunk in deep water, drowning all ?
hands except ber commander and two |
I others.
j Being again raised and prepared
for action, Mr. Annley, one of the 1
constructors, made an experimental
cruise in her in Cooper Uiver. While j
: submerged at grtat depth from some |
j unknown cause, she became unman
I ageable and remained for many days I
I on the bottom of the river with her !
crew of nine dead men.
A fourth time was the boat raised, j
\ and Lieutenant Dixon, of Mobile, of
the Twenty-first volunteers, with
eight others, went out of Charleston !
i harbor with her and attacked and j
sunk the Federal steamer Housatonic. j
Her mission ut last .accomplished, j
j she disappeared forever with her j
\ crew. Nothing is known of their
fate, but it is believed they went down i
with the enemy.

While here, I have heard a romau
tic story that I am assured is true,
and which, as it reveals the incon?
stancy of woman and the elastic cha?
racter of the feminine heart, I am not
disinclined to reject. A young wo?
man, possessed of afine person and
property, a member of the oldest and
most fashionable families in tho State,
became engaged to a young man in
her own grade in life, who was a
major in the Confederate service, and
was to marry him at the termination
of -the war, if he survived. If he did
not, she was to remain ever brue to
her vows, and, being a* Catholic, had
promised to enter a convent and be
{ come only the bride of Heaven. They
I were a model pair of lovers, and all
wiro knew them believed they were
I the embodiments of poetry, tender
\ ness and devotion to each other; that
I they lived what bards had sung and
! romances had described. They were
j like two blossoms on one stem-a
planet and its rays.
i As usually happens, fate frowned
i on their felicity, and jealous of then
love, cut tho material cloud of thc
sentimental major's being at Fort
Wagner. Eloisa was mad with grief,
and inconsolable forevermore. Hei
parents believed she would uot and
could not live; and that if she did,
she must be reft of reason.
Moutlis passed. Charleston fell.
Columbia was threatened. Eloise
remained. She was anxious to bi
slain by the barbarians who had mur
dered her lover. The Union forcef
arrived, but had something else to dc
than kill women, and Eloisa survivec
in spite of herself.
She heard the regiment was in towr
that had charged upon the battalioi
led by her host beloved, and she re
solved to see the colonel and de
uounce him as the slayer of he:
prince and peace. Eloisa saw hin
and had a tremendous scene. Tin
colonel was handsome and gallant
and when the fair girl thundered, a
all her sex do at first, and then iain
ed, he was touched and i ute rested ii

IiEPOJBTA?fT DECLSION IM KEA'TCCK V.
It is not generally known that a deci?
sion has* bc cn rendered by the Ken?
tucky Court of Appeals, which vir
taally prevents either a Confederate
or Union soldier from being prose?
cuted for acts committed under orders
of superior officers; but such is the
case. The following decision was
rendered in the case of the Common?
wealth vs. Holland, from Christian
County. The facts are simply these:
Holland was indicted by the grand
jury of Christian County for stealing
some horses, w hich act lie committed
under tlie orders of his superior
officer, Gen. S. B. Buckner, ?f the
rebel army, and upon being brought
to trial, was discharged by Judge
Graham, Circnit Judge of Christian
County, on the ground that he could
not be punished for an act committed
under thc orders of his superiors,
from which opinion the Common?
wealth appealed.
Attorney-General Harlan repre?
sented the Commonwealth, and CoL
K. H. Bristow represented the pri?
soner (Holland.) Judgo Robertson
delivered the opinion of the court.
"Thc only judicial question pre?
sented by this appeal from a judg?
ment of the Circuit Court, discb g
ing the accused ou a verdict of
acquittal on an indictment for rob?
bery, is whether, in a County of Ken?
tucky, occupied and controlled by a
Confederate army, under command
of General Buckner, the forcible cap?
ture of a non-combatant citiz*eu'a
horses, in conformity with military
authority, and in execution of a mili?
tary order, was a criminal offence,
cognizable by the civil power of this
State, and, on this question our
opinion is, that the act. l>eingbellige?
rent in the legal import of that com?
prehensive terni, it was not robbery
in the technical sense. Argument to
prove this would be superfluous,
wherefore th?, judgment is affirmed."

FnoniOA.-The Attorney-General
of Florida has addressed a communi?
cation to the Governor, in which he
declares the act of the Legislature
prohibiting the freedmen from keep?

Of the inducements to emigrants
and tie' agricultural prospects of the
State, the following paragraph re?
ports:
Since the termination of hostili?

to her population. The tuirrent ol

thousand species of fish-are induce?
ments to those who desire to exchange
worn-out plantations for a fresh allu?
vial soiL The Confederate soldier
has returned to his wonted avocation
with alacrity. Her citizens, generally,
seem to be actuated with that degree
of enterprise which denotes a return
of prosperity at an early day in the
future. The small farms that dot her
forests are being renovated and newly
improved. Thc long cotton, to which
her soil is peculiarly adapted, will
constitute thc bulk of ber crop the
present year, and, in fineness of sta?
ple, closely approximates that which
is produced on our Sea Island planta?
tions. One hand will cultivate on
I her lands, with ease, ten acres in cot?
ton and five in corn. An average
crop, on the pine lauds, is a bale of
long cotton, weighing o.">0 pounds, to
three acre , and twelve bushels of
corn per acre of land. The hammock
lands yield more.
Mn. SEW ABD BBEAKS WITH FOBNEY.
In terms of righteous indignation the
Chronicle of yesterday announces that
Mr. Seward has notified Forney to
discontinue ''the Chronicle furnished
for legations." "But why," sa vs the
excellent Forney, "why should we
murnini' or bc surprised when the
President denounces accepted patriots
as guilty traitors, and hi Secretary
of State hastens to telegraph his
grateful admiration of the act?" And
it gladdens us by declaring that "no
admonitions will suffice to change the
calamitous course upon which it is
now apparent Andrew Johnson em?
barked under thc sinister patronage
of William H. Seward. "
A genuine case of trance is report?
ed from Guilford, England. Au old
lady, after being for a loug time in a
low state of health, sunk down sud?
denly, and was pronounced by a sur?
geon to bc dead. Tho coffin was
purchased and the body put into it,
but it is said that just as the unde
taker vas about to screw down the
lid, tho supposed corpse started bolt
upright, to tin; great terror of the
bystanders, and getting out of its
collin, walked across tho room. It is
added that tho "old lady is now hale
and strong."

Everybody has heard of tho re- |
nowned oki typo, Paddy Burna, a ^
veteran relic of a past age of those ?
who have figured in the "art preaerv- .>
ative of all arts. " For perhaps forty (
years, he has "tramped," as the :
phrase exists muong printers* and has ;
visited every printing office in the |
South, and many in the West. At ?
the breaking ont of the war, he joined ?
the Confederate army, where ne re- j
main ed for nearly four years. He is i,
at present over sixty yeaTs of age, j
but seems more vigorous and active (
than many men of forty. Five or (
six weeks ago, he passed through ,
Marshall. A few davs since, he re- j
turned. In the meantime, he had ?
visited Henderson. Huntsville, Ans- ?
tin, Tyler, aud how many other places ?
we do not know. Ho travels entirely ^
on foot, disdaining the use of horses,
buggies or stage coaches, which he
considers too slow for rapid locomo- ,
tion. He left this place for Jefferson.
Thence he will go, perhaps, to
Shreveport, pay a flying visit to Ar?
kansas. Missouri and perhaps Teu
I nessee, and fiually wend his way back
I to the "Lone Star State." Among
our earliest recollections of Texas, we
he;u\l of "Paddy Burns." Ho was
then in the meridian of life. An old |
gentleman with wliom he had tempo?
rarily stopped spoke of him as a
"Pooty smart man, but a groat talker;
his tongue was agwine aud agwine!"
Yes, arms, legs aud brain have been
employed by him for forty years.
What a life he has passed; what
scenes he had witnessed; how much
of information has ho acquired? And
now, when he has reached the "sere
and yellow loaf" of existence, he is
almost a boy in action and feeling.

1 AN OCEAN STEAMER BACH.-Arr ex- j
; citing contest between two large !
ocean steamships, from Southampton i
to New York, is to come off this j
month. The London AW.s thus ;
; speaks of it: i
I A greatooean Steamship race will, it I
is expected, come oft" next month. As
our readers arc probably aware, there
are two large rival foreign steamship
companies, the North German Floyds,
running between Bremen and New
1 York, via Southampton, and the
i Hamburg and American, running
between Hamburg and New York, via
j Southampton. Their steamers are
j built in this country, birt manned by
j Gerniaus. They carry hundreds of
j well-to-do Germans to America every
j week, and their ships are so large,
I swift and commodious, that they have
? become favorites with English and
j American passengers. In conse
! quence of tho rivalry existing be
j tween the companies, and the dis?
putes as to the respective merits of
the two fleets, it has been resolved to
test the speed of two of their finest
I ships-the Hamburg company's Alle
j mania and the Bremen company's
Hermaun. Both of the?e are new
and monster steamers, of enormous
strength, and they mako tho Atlantic
passage in about niue or ten days.
They will start from Southampton
for New York together.
Both ships have been backed to
j heavy amounts already, and tho race
will be an exciting anti remarkable
one.
Thc Allcmaixia and Hermann are
j both gorgeously fitted up.
