NEW ORLEANS, August 21. - Cotton stoat and unchanged, with sales of 1,000 bale Gold 45.fr._ An association has been formed i Pennsylvania, the object of which the reformation of inebriates, ar the moral and social elevation of tl neglected classes. A largo tract land is to be purchased, and neat ar commodious cottages are to be bui upon it. The enterprise requir about f <X),000 for its establishme upon scale which will insure i extended usefulness. But it will 1 started as soou as $50,000 are co tributed. The number of divorces in Co necticut increased from 129 in 18? to 434 in 18G4;and in fifteen yea the divorces have equalled OE twentieth the number of families the State. The large increase 18G3-64 was caused by tho marria of soldiers to abandoned wonie when about to start for the war, that their new wives might draw t State bounty. "A little more animation, i dear," whispered Mrs. B- to t gentle Marie-, who was ..'niki through a quadrille. "Do leave : to manage my own business, ma ma," replied the provident dams "? shall not dance my ringlets out curl for a married mau." "Of cou not, ray love, but I was not aw: who your partner was." Labor-saving inventions have dc much to relieve washing day of drudgery which once fell upon Y kee women, but in Germany tl employ Quilaysbark. A decoctioi made and the clothes immersed ii a few hours, when they aro ready drying. It is sold there ut tho 1 price of $0 a hundred weight. At a fancy dress ball in Pari: lady was seen in a very low-bod dress, while floating and waving abundance of green gauze. She politely asked by ?a. gentleman w she personated. "Tho sea, m sieur." "At low tide, then, ] dame." The lady blushed, and gentleman smiled. Very recently there have been discovered in Brazil the rich si mines worked by the Jesuits, similar re-discovery is reported South California, where the Ind wore compelled and bribed to sile by the Jesuits, who worked m i ives. An old man was arrested at M phis recently, charged with bein vagrant. On searching him $7, iu gold was found on his person, a gold frame locket containing* a tine of J. "Wilkes Booth, set -\ diamonds, and valued at $5,000. h. w?.v. i II ?a*?tm|i . . . . -' : Vor tile Iaatllex. We extract, for the benefit of the ladies, the fashions letter of the Now York Her, I, dated Paris, August 3: I um a fr; dd your readers will think I am taking a great liberty with their emotions when I announce the com? ing fashions; but wherever a dire event is anticipated, I have over thought it more satisfactory to know tho worst than live in suspense. Moreover, it.is universally true that ill news travels fast; so that any well meant delicacy of feeling on my part would be superabundant and fastidi? ous. Headers, I therefore impress on you the necessity of keeping calm while you learn that we are all before autumn to go about in skirts as nar? row and tight as we can conveniently walk in, and ?hat next winter we aro to look like Mesdames Becamier, Tai lien, Abranles, icc. A crowd of his? torical ?associations aird absurd souve? nirs somewhat eonfuse my brain, while these names drop from my pen on paper. A phantasmagoria of fe? male figures arise in white satin skirts,- cut umbrella shape, (with thc handle downwards, and not a fold to hide the anatomy of humanity.) I fancy I.see some in leg-of-mutton sleeves; others with their waists en? circled by bolts just under their arm? pits, and the heads of all surmounted hy turbans voluminous enough to content the elevated ideas of a Mus? sulman. All these ladies sidle up and down a well-lit drawing-room; the thin ones all angles, as if their members were hung on wires; thc fat ones intent on defeating sponta? neous combustion! They stand up in a circle, each led to the dance by a cavalier in yellow leggings, a sky-blue coat and brass buttons, with his head only just perceptible under the two towering points of an incredible shirt collar. Both geutlemeu and ladies bow-as low as thc "conveniences" ami the nature < f their upper clothing allow, after which preliminaries two guests advance alone aud slide through a minuet, the lady curtseying a great deal and performing the feat of bend? ing her arms gracefully over her head without splitting her gloves at the elbows. The gentleman, meanwhile, has to do the smiling part and a vast amount of pantomimo with a three cornered hat ; his blue coat tails dc not flap till the end, when the accele? rated tuotion of the dnuoe demands ii certain display of energy. When these two have sufficiently edified tin bystanders, either seated or standing on a ring to admire their evolutions, others volunteer, and a <j<tr<>i follows, each party dancing in cadenee, tur? bans and all. Bon-bons then circu? late, with glasses of sugar and water, and at this point, without the help o! any stronger refreshments, my deli rium increases. I seo Robespiern and Marat rush in, Roche and Char lotte Corday follow; all join in au an achronism which is nothing less thai the wildest can-can. The absurdity of- Robespierre's action startles me I awake to reality, and discover tha the future fashions have carried nu so far back that I am forgetting tin present, though I have ample matte for earnest discourse. I must mak< an effort to recall my scattered senses The cacho-traine, or new crinoline which I described in my last, has this week, been introduced to th Parisian public by one of their fashioi pasters. This leads mo to say that th real fashions have, on other occasion besides this, been conveyed to Ne\ York, through the columns of th Herald, before tin- French have know, of their existence. It was so with tb Neapolitan catalan, it had been won herein high quarters, and kept 1> milliut-rs in reserve for the elite ol sc ciety, long before any mention wn made of it in tin- best publications o "/cs- modes." This catalan hus bee much improved; it is now nothin but a square of maize-colored or j< beads, with a few rows of the sam under the chin and over the chiguoi Strings are discarded from all th now shapes; circular fulls of blond and lace ure worn instead. The new bonnet is called "oubli. It is a very diminutive chapeau, ii deed, nothing buta round of goffore straw, edged with violets, lila? heartseases, or any other flower sui ing the toilet it is worn with, lt tied under the chignon, and has bec named oubli because it is as light an thin as thal flat biscuit which we cn wafer, and which wc generally discu over ices. The jockey costume is another ne favorite. It is composed of two skir in two different colors. The und petticoat and jerkin can be blue, tl over-skirt and sleeves light gray. I have noticed several very lad like fourreaux, which were notloopi up over nnder-petticoats. One ol' thc was made of black and white strip? taffeta, with white cluny over bla< ribbon round the bottom, up tl seams and on the shoulders. Anoth was made of emerald green moil trimmed with thick white silk co up each yearn. Tlie.se full dress rob< in scanty proportion, do not look singular as those, which I have se' in muslin and light materials. We aro now in an agc of transitio which means anarchy. Shepherdess in Watteau costumes flit by one i the Bois in open carriages, and i calls Boucher's paintings. Ladies powder and lace revive all our Poi padorur souvenirs, tho jerkin? ai feathered caps or "toques" remii us of Francis T. Hair is in great c limul. Let none who aro called be complain if as many as three ha: still persist in growing to tho centre of that shiny Burface which they con? ceitedly call their crowns. These three struggling hairs constitute capi? tal. They will fetch any price some day,' and must be coaxed into brist? ling up straight. Before I close my letter, I must enter into a few explanations of terms used in Paris for certain articles of dress, without which your readers would fancy themselves in the dark. A cemture tallien or tallien belt is nothing but a long broad plaid or chine sash. The ceinture russe (Rus? sian belO is made of black corded silk, with ends, or rather tails, on each side, a rosette behind; and Rus? sian clasp in front. Aceinture espag? nole (Spanish belt) has three tails be? hind. The Lauzun trimming means flowing loops of ribbon on the shoul? ders. These are newest accessories. ! Vandykes and festoons are seen on everything. Legal Effect of th? Proclamation. The New York Worid, of the 21st, , has the following remarks on this subject: The proclamation of President Johnson declaring the insurrection at an end in all the States, is a com? plete abdication of all the extraordi? nary powers with which the Presi? dent was clothed by Congress, dur? ing the war. This consequence would have attended the previous proclamation, only that did not in? clude Texas; and the insurrection having been regarded by Congress as one whole, and not as a series of separate insurrectos in several States, the extraordinary powers did not expire so long ? there was any plac? where the insurrection had trot been declared extinct. There were only eleven States that seceded; but in consequence of this local insurrec? tion, con?ned to one section of the country, the President Avas empow? ered by Congress to suspend the habeas corpus throughout the United States, or any part of them, and this power was vested in him till the end of the rebellion. But Texas having completed the construction of a loyal State Government, and the President having declared the insur? rection at an end in that State, as well as in all the others, the whole system of military interference with the regular course of law falls to the ground, and things revert to the condition in which they were before the war. And now that the hideous system has ended, wc defy any man to look back upon its history, and point out an instance in which arbitrary ar? rests, overriding court? by martial law, and shutting np newspaper offices by files of soldiers, accom? plished the slightest good, or has? tened, by a single day, the successful termination of the war. The New York World, of the same date, in its comments, says: The work is now complete as far as Executive authority goes and the condition of the States is concerned. Thc proclamation of the President hus the effect of law, and all are bound to respect it as such. As the Executive power of the Republic, he is tho proper authority to judge of the condition of the country. It is the duty of Congress itself to accept and act upon his official declaration. Information Witiitcit. Tho New York Herald wants some information from Secretary Stanton, before he retires from his post. It says : Secretary Stanton, it appears, is about to exchange bis position at the head of the War Department for a foreign embassy. Before he is turned ont of office and takes his departure for Madrid, we hope he will send us the report of Gen. Smith and James T. Brady, which he holds, relative to the condition of affairs in Louisiana during the war. We are anxious to know particularly all about the man I agement of the cotton question and the ingenious method by which C?en. Butler managed to effect an exchange with tho rebels of provisions, percus? sion caps and other* little things-of which they stood much in need about that time-for rebel cotton, and what became of the cotton thus received in exchange. There are a good many other details of this kind in connec ' tion \>ith thc management of affairs in Louisiana upon which Mr. Stan? ton can enlighten the public by fur? nishing us with the report of Gen. Smith and Mr. Brady; for instance, the facts connected with Gen. Banks1 Red River expedition. There is an? other pretty extensive cotton specu? lation involved in that affair. Gen. Banks, it seems, suffered a great de? feat on the Red River; but if he lost a good many men, it is said that he got a good many bales of colton, which might counteract tho loss of j life in the estimation of the radicals. Then there is a good deal of curiosity about the late New Orleans riots which tho radicals concocted and with which it is supposed Gen. Banks had a good deal to do, and he was evidently well informed in ad? vance of what was about to take place and hiuted in a speech in Con? gress at tho results which were after? wards rccomplished. Gen. Joseph R. Davis, of Canton, , has gone East to visit his ancle at Fortress Monroe. Gen. Davis was { Military Secretary of President Davis in tho early part of the war, und sub? sequently commanded a brigade in I the army of Northern Virginia. A ITO rt and Confessions of thc Mur? derers of Dlr. A. I). Walker. Tlae obscurity which ba? for several weeks enveloped the persons con? cerned in the mordor of our fellow citizen, Mr. A. D. Walker, has nt length boen satisfactorily dissipated. The freight train, of the 18th inst? brought up from Columbia two negro men, Belton Kline, filias Williams, and London Jones, alias Adams, tho former of whom had been arrested in Peterobiirg, Va., and the latter in Columbia. S. .C., on suspicion of having been implicated in the above murder. On the 19th inst., they were brought before the jury of inquest and there made the follow? ing voluntary confession, although warned that thc evidence would be made uso of against them on their | trial: On Sunday, July 22, they met al white niau, one Bill Morris, alias \ Charles Uerem, alias Wylie Morris, with whom they had been acquainted, who asked them to accompany him to Chester the same night to assist in some "job," from which they would probably each realize $500 or ?1,000. They arrived in Chester by tho even? ing train, purchased a bottle of wliis- ; key and set out for Walker's resi- ] dence, Urbich they reached about 10 o'clock. Morris then prepared some ; strings, telling th? negroes that Mr. j Walker liad charged him with horse stealing, and that he intended to tie him up, whip him and leave him tied all night. He also stated that then were ??O.OOO in the house. In the meantime, Morris, w ho was known , by the deceased, had disguised him- ? self by blacking his face. As prc viously related, Mr. Walker was ! induced, by the representations of j London, to visit the supposed Hick ! man, iii company with Mr. Estes. 1 I The party were joined on the road by i I Belton, Morris being concealed in ! I the bushes. At a given signal from ; Morris, London seized Mr. Walker, I while helton attempted io grasp Mr. I Estes, who succeeded in escaping, j Beltontbeu returned to tho assistance1 j j of London and held Mr. Walker ; until Morris emerged from thc woods ; I and shot tho deceased through thc1 j head. London, in the meantime, ! had pursued Mr. Estes as far as Mr. j Walker's house. After the perpetra? tion of the murder. Morris told Bel I ton to go up to the house and, with j London, secure the money, while he ! would return, cut the telegraph wiro ' I and meet them at Co ru well's Station. ?This Helton did aud, together, they j broke o]>e:i the door, London dis I charging his pistol at Mrs. Walker, who Wits sittingup in bcd alarmed hy j the noise. They then ransacked the , house at their leisure, uttering threats j and abusive language, and after re ! maining three-quarters of an hour, 1 withdrew, warning Mrs. Walker and J Mr. Estes not to leave the building, i as guards had been stationed around the premises. On their return they I searched the corps?; anti discovered two dollars and a pocket book con? taining papers. On reaching the ? depot, they secreted themselves under a car until the arrival of the train for Columbia. They were joined by Morris at Coruwell's Station, and a ; division of the plunder was made, ' Morritj. giving to the negroes a gobi '. watch and chain, which Ix? had re? moved from the body of Mr. Walker. Two or three days afterwards. Morris proposed to the prisouera a trip to ! Newberry, to assist in another "job;" ', which resulted in tho murder of Mr. : Lane, of that District. This tho I prisoners declined to do; since which time, according to their statement, they have seen nothing more of : Morris. Shortly after they went to I Petersburg, Va., and after a few daysfitay, London returned to Colum? bia, when- he was arrested last week I by Mr. (?reen, the efficient chief of police, with Mr. Walker's watch in his possession. Belton remained in j Petersburg, spending money lavishly, aud was arrested hythe son of Mr. Lane, on suspicion of having been I concerned in his father's murder. Helton had ii large trunk filled with I new aiul valuable clothing, and was ; to have been married the day after j his arrest to a negro girl in Peters? burg, to whom he hail presented I several handsome silk dresses. According to their own admission, these negroes have been concerned iu no less than three murders within the last two months, and rumor con? nects them with crimes even of a ! ?larker character. We hope that every effort will be made to effect the arrest of Morris, who is sahl tobe j tho leader ?d' a band of desperadoes. A full and accurate) description of this miscreant will bc found in our advertising columns. 'inc two prisoners have been con? signed to the charge of the civil au? thorities. Tin y were both horn and raised in tho town of Newberry, S. j C. Morris passed two months in I this Listriet last spring, ami, to add : to the enormity of his guilt, had fre I qaently enjoyed tho hospitalities of ' his victim. Hie jury of inquest found a ver? dict in accordance with the above j facts.-Chester Standard. THE UNITED STATES PKIZE CON? CEB?.-The Chicago Times, ?d' the 15th instant, announces the failure of Wiggins, Bradford & Co., managers of tho great prize concert of that city, to como to time. After two postponements of their concert, they have "vamoosed the ranch," with, as is supposed, some ?300,000, which they have swindled from a too-con liding public. The New York Herald calls, upon tho business men of that city to meet in convention and ratify the*platform of thc Philadelphia Convention, on the ground that the material and financial interests of the country de? pend upon the reconstruction of the Union and tho admission of South* ern representatives in" accordance with the declarations there put forth. An Illinois paper says: ''Out of 35.400,000 acres of land, Illinois con? tains 33,000,000 of tillable land. Only onc-sevenih of this has yet been touched by the plow, yet this one seventh bas sustained our own porra-, lation pf 2,148,178, and furnished a surplus of food for exportation enough, no doubt, to sustain 2,000, 00O more. The Houston (Texas) Journal, of August 8, says: "We are informed by a gentleman, jost np from Galveston, that a very fatal malady, nothinglike thc cholera, has broken out among the troops garrisoning that city, and that the average mortality will reach six per day. We have, not seen a description of the disease." THB PILLORY.-Tho Raleigh Pro? gress notes the erection of a pillory in that place, near the Court House, "for the public punishment of offend? ers, lt is constructed on tho plan of all other well-gotten up pillories, with thc appropriate places through which the hand?, bead ami feet are inserted." GEN. BEAUREOARD'S PROPERTY.-A I Washington letter says that steps ; have been taken by the Government to stay all proceedings, for the pre sent, in tin-matter of the confiscation of thc late Confederate General Beau- | regard's property in the Southern States. A wandering paragraph says that a lump of iee, say ten pounds, placed in a well will render its water de? lightfully cool, and far more pleasant than ice-water from a pitcher. The ic-,* has to be renewed once in about ten ?lays. Late advices represent the rains in Western Texas as continuing. Every portion bas been reached by search? ing, soakiug showers. Grass has not been so line for many years, and all kinds of stock are in the best possi? ble condition. Ibis reported out West that the town of Monroe. Ohio, has been blown away by a hurricane. Anybody find? ing such a town will please return it to its former position, and no ques? tions asked. A tower, 150 feet tn height, and which will cost over half a million, is to be erected in connection with the Chicago, Ul., lake tunnel, to supply the upper stories of buildings with water. There ar?! no less than thirty dif? ferent varieties of plants used as sub? stitutes for green tva, and probably twice that number of substances are ' substituted for coffee. DEATH OF A SOCTH CAROLINIAN. -A letter from San Luis Potosi,Mexico, announces the death there of Colonel James Monroe, of this State, and late of the Confederate army. Three members of the radical party call a meeting of the "National Union j Republican Executive Committee" for the purpose, no doubt, of depos? ing Raymond from its chairmanship. George B. Ginter, of Ohio, is an? other member of the National Union i Republican Executive Committee \v!uv like Mr. Raymond, goes with the President. ?Tosh Billings remarks with as much feeling as truth, that "in the good 1 old daze there was more fun in 30 cents than theic is now in 7 dollars ; and a half." ASA HARTZ.-Major George Mc ? Knight has been appointed one of the editorial statT of the New Or ; leans Ptcm/une.

PERMIT me to acknowledge the many kind notices of myself and the pro? poned enterprise to establish an Agricultu? ral ? ..d Family Newspaper, and to assure yon, gentlemen, that with vour liberal aid, there is overv probability that tho RURAL SOUTHERNER will make its debut" in a few weeks. A few gentlemen are actively at work for it, and if a few such men in each District would make a little effort, the en? terprise would be secured. The present condition of our lal>or will cause our farmers and planters to seek out such implements a? will enable them to reduce the number of laborers, and, as far as possible, make themselves independent of the most unreliable and unruly. To aid them in this desirable object, a practical and intelligent planter, connected with the RURAL, will be assigued the duty of j searching for and testing tb8 many labor ! saving implements now used in all parts of I our country, and report upon them through our columns. Those found adapted to our section will be finely illustrated, and ar? rangements will bo made hy us with the manufacturers to supply our farmers and : planters with them at the lowest prices. In I this way, a liberal support of tue RURAL I will secure a practical benefit to the South j ern people. : To accomplish these good intentions, tho ; RURAL must first receive a reasonable j assurance of support. All we ask is 2,500 j good subscribers. Surely our farmers and ? planters can give us that number to secure ? so great benefits to themselves, j Aug 25 _R. M. STOKES. New Orleans !
