WASHINGTON, August 21.-A circu? lar letter, issued from the War De? partment, includes -, the following extract from tho army appropriation bill, passed at the last session of Congress: Be il enacted, That all militia forces now organized, or in service, in either of the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Ca? rolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas, be forthwith disbanded, and that the farther orga? nization, arming or calling into service the paid militia forces, or any part thereof, is hereby prohibited, under any circumstances whatever, until the same shall bo authorized by Congress. Tho publication of this extract is intended as an explanation of the refusal of Secretary Schofield to furnish arms to the militia of the Southern States, on the applications of their Governors, and for the in? formation of the officers of the army now on duty in tho South. Alluding to the militia in the Southern States, the New York Times Bays, editorially, the case is made a good deal plainer by the extract from the law, which the Secretary of War introduces into his order. By one of those unfortunate blunders which have marred the progress of recon? struction at almost every stage, tho South is literally without a militia. Not only have the local governments no arms fer their use, bat the sup? plying of arms by the War Depart? ment is forbidden by a o?anse which, passed nnder different circumstances, is yet unrepeated. Congress, there? fore, in i ts haste to adjourn, did more than neglect the distribution of arms, which a measure brought forward at a late day rightfully con? templated. It loft on tho statute book a provision which restrains tho War Department from arming tho militia, whatever the emergency. To this extent, tho reconstructed States aro powerless. Their authorities are {paralyzed by an order which nothing ess than the action of Congress can set aside.

A lady, who wo s looking at the procession of the soldiers and sailors of New York, was heard to say that she saw tho soldiers' and sailors' procession at Chicago, and she thought the Republicans made al? together the bettor show, for, al? though the Chicago procession was muoh smaller, it presented a deal bettor appearance, because the New York procession "had so many one legged and one-armed fellows in it, that it was perfectly disgusting."

"TIGHT BREECHES."-AN ATTACK FROM THE OTHER SIDE.-Some fe? male, in au apparently revengeful spirit, thus holds forth on a prevail? ing gentlemen's fashion: The press has never been remiss in deprecating the follies of the female sex upon the occasion of each change in style of female apparel, bat it is a noticeable fact that the popiu-jay style of breeches now iu vogue, more ridiculous than anything tho women ever wore, is unnoticed. Female loveliness is such that it can make charming any extreme fashion; but what length of familiarity, pray Hea von, can ever make tolerable-much less comely-tho dexter appendages of a human crane wound about with cloth so tightly as to stop the circu? lation? The present stylo of pantaloons is neither comfortable, comely nor eco? nomical. Tho "swell" that adopts it can neither stoop nor sit down with? out positive danger of an exposure of his person from rupture caused by tension. When wo see these fashion? ables of the male persuasion, on tho street, we aro reminded of the exhor? tation of the raw-boned, ill-formed preacher when illustrating the won? ders of creation, liaising his long, skinny arms high above his head, ho exclaimed, "God mudo this frame.:: A voice in the congregation replied, "then his tools were mighty dull." Here comos a six-foot gallant, with a number ten boot, and a figure like a pair of tongs. There is not enough of his legs to make a shadow, and he walks as if each boot was a doublo bass viol. By his side, perhaps, is another devotee of the style, half his length, whoso make-up reminds ono of a plum pudding, perched on the handlo of a pair of pinchers. Thero they go, the extremes of folly, and the very essence of ludicrousness. Nothing a woman ever wore, will comparo in folly with tight breeches on a*bandy-legged human biped. A NIGGER SHOT IN A CORN FIELD AND KILLED.-A negro was caught on the morning of tho 13th instant, stealing corn out of tho field of Dr. Thomas Powo's placo, one milo above Cheraw, by a colored man who was working in the farm nt tho time, and who shot him. The thief ran a short distance and then dropped dead. \Bennettsville Journal.

BURIED IN T??E GRAY.-Augustus Carson, a respectable colored man, died at Franklin, Tenn., last Monday night. Early in the war, ho attached himself to tho cause of the Confed? eracy, and steadily followed. itB ban? ners till tho last of the struggle. Through good and evil report, whe? ther tho sun of victory shed light and hope upon the cause he served, or whether clouds of defeat lowered upon bim and his associates in arms, he was ever brave, hopeful and daunt? less. When tho causo was flually lost, he returned to his old home, and has since acted only with tho Democratic party. During tho illness which terminated in his dei ii, Carson re? peatedly expressed th wish that his body should bo attirod in a suit of Confederate gray, and that some of his old friends should attend his romains to their last resting-place. His desiro in both respects was fully carried out. His funeral was largely attend? ed by the peoplo of Franklin and its vicinity.-Nashville Gazette. fA CARPET-BAOGER COME TO GRIEF. Wm. L. Webb, of Bocky Hill, Con? necticut, a brother of Henry W. Webb, who figured as a member of the Charleston Negro Convention, and is now a membor of the Legisla? ture, so-called, from this District, was arrested yesterday by Sheriff I Carr, for bigamy, on a complaint j made by his wife in Connecticut. Mr. Webb, tho accused, is a carpet? bagger, who came to these parts soon after the close of the war, to seek his fortune. He was made a Register of voters, and acted in that capacity as long as there was anything to do in that line. In default of sufficient bail, he now occupies apartments in the Georgetown jail. [Georgetoim Times. '.Harl-Knrl.'* . Ul f, Xhu following is the letter of Com. .?eighou, United States navy, de .cribing tho hari-kari execution wit? nessed by him at Ltiogo, Japan: U. S. STEAMER ONEIDA, (third rato,) Hiooo, JAPAN, March 14, 18G8 Hon. Gideon Welles, Washington. Sm: I have the honor to communi? cate the particulars of the execution of tho Japanese official, Fati Zunzu taro, retainer of Ma ts Jai ra Bizen no Kami, who ordered his troops to fire on the foreigners at this place, on tho 4th ultimo. This execution was wit? nessed by me, at the request of our Miuhtor, Gen. R. B. Yan Valken bnrgh, nud is as follows: I left the legation nt about 9 P. M., in company with thc officers at? tached to the foreign legation, and proceeded to Uiogo, where we were met by a guard, who escorted us to the temple where the execution was to take place. There was u lurga number of peo? ple ou euch side of tho street leading to tho temple, and quite a number of soldiers drawn up inside about the temple. We were shown into a room adjoining the Japanese officials, where we were asked if wo wished to question the person about to be exe? cuted, to which we answered in tho negative. They also took the names of every official present. After waitiug about half au hour, we were conducted by the Japanese officials iuto what appeared to bo tho principal room of tho temple, which was lighted with caudles, and ic front of tho altar was a raised plat? form a foot in height, which extended ucros8 the room, and we were placed on the right of the altar, within a few feet of where the execution was to take place, with the Japanese officials on the left. In front of the altar, was a green cloth, and in front of that, a red one; we were informed that the execution would take placo on the red cloth. Seating ourselves on the mats on the platform, we watched the execution. In a few moments, the prisoner carno in, dressed in tho usual Japan? ese dress of a person of rank, accom? panied by tho executioner, who was his pupil and most intimate friend. He walked with a steady, firm step, in front of the altar, where he knelt in prayer. He then arose and went to the red cloth, where he knelt aud made the confession that he was the officer that ordered his troops to fire upon the foreigners, and also to fire upon them when they were trying to escape, and that ho was sorry for what he had done. He then disrobed himself to his waist and reached out for a knife that was near him, which he thrust into his bowels, and drawing it towards his right side, and leaning forward at the same time, the executioner, with one blow from his swoid, severed his head from his body. This occurred at about 10.30 p. m. The Japanese then bowed to the floor, on which we all did the same. Wo were then asked if wo were satis? fied with what we had witnessed, when wo replied in the affirmative. After the lapse of a few moments wo were informed that all was over, when wo arose and took our depar? ture. Tho whole scene was one of great solemnity and very impressive. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. BLAKELY CREIGHTON, Commander. SENSIBLE ADVICE.-Tho Charlotte (N. C.) Times publishes the follow? ing card, written by a freedman, and addressed "to tho colored people of Mecklenburg:" I am one of your number. From a sense of duty, I became a Demo? crat. I wish to appeal to you, not because I wish you to join my party, but because I see that you are in dan? ger. Wicked white men-mean white men, that are skinning you every day, and intend to take the whole hide off, have already made yon believe a hundred lies, and they aro making you believe them now. They will get all they can out of yon, and then turn you over to tho mercy of tho white people that you aro now turning your backs upon. You are freemon, indeed, when you dare not think, or speak, or act, except just as your white radical masters order you to do. You aro obliged to vote for them, and not even for your own color. They say conservatives and Domocrots want to make you slaves again. If they did, theso men could not, and would not if they could, provent it. They did not make you freo, and can't keep you free. You just know the respectable white peo? ple of tho South don't want to make us slaves again, and could not, if they wanted to. I was a slave-am now free. I expect to die free; but I want to be respected by the decent whito people. As it is clear they in? tend to rule, say what we may, it would bo well to make them our friends. The colored people had bot? ter take warning in time, and show that they have some sense I write this of my own accord, as of my own occord I joined the De? mocratic party, and intend to con? tinue in it.

As the death had been sudden, the coroner had been summoned; and when his duties had beeu performed, the remains were placed on nu im? provised hearse, and the procession formed. Beforo moving, tho hospitalities of the deceased's house was extended to those present, in the shape of a good stiff brandy jnlep to euch, so os the bettor to enable them to undergo tho fatigue of the long march to the new burying ground. W hile the pall-bearers, who wero standing by the hearse, were slowly sipping their juleps, and now and again giving tho goblets a slight shake to settle tho ico in them, a uoise was heard in tho coffin, which turned some faces whiter than they had been for years before. Finally, the undertaker for the occasion mus? tered courage enough to unscrew the coffin lid, when, horrible to be told, up sat the supposed corpse, and coolly asked for his julep. Having quenched his thirst, he got down, and stated to the gaping crowd that ho had been in a sort of trance, and knew all that was going on around him, but was unable to rouso himself until his ears were greeted with tho familiar jingle of the ice, and his nose with the delicious smell of the brandy and mint in the goblets round the hearse; the thoughts called forth by which infused new life into his system, and the desire to partake became so strong that he was ablo to break tho trance, which had come near consigning him to a premature grave. His friends were too much asto? nished at what they had witnessed, and too glad to see him amo.ng them again, to investigate the philosophy of tho thing, so they all adjourned to bia house, where juleps passed around long enough to almost ac? complish for the whole party that fate from which the first ono had so miraculously delivered their host. AN UNROMANTIC HUSBAND.-An aunt of ours concluded to try the effect of a pleasant smile and a kind word upon her husband, when he had re? turned from his work. She had read how a home should be pleasant, and the wife should always meet tho hus? band with a joyful smile. The suc? cess she had ia best given in the shapo of a dialogue | Enter hus? band, almost exhausted, and very hungry withal; throws his hat on tho floor, and drops heavily into a seat.

Wife-"How bas your business prospered to-day?" [Another smile.] Husband-"About so-so." Wife-"Come, my dear, supper is ready; let mo draw your chair." [Another smile.] Husband gruffly-"I am too tired to stir. Wait till I warm my feet." Wife-"Do as you choose, my dear." [Another sweet smile. | Husband-"Look o' here, old wo? man, beforo any more fuss is made about it, I should like to know what in thunder you are grinning at?" Aunt sighed, and relinquished her sweet smiles from that date. Uncle was not one of tho romantic sort, and didn't understand such things. FOETICIDE IN NEW YORK.-In this city there are ten people know to the police and the Board of Health, whose regular business is fnit.jeide. Thoy advertise in tho Herald and the Sunday Mercury. They manufacture and sell pills, "French," "Golden," "Portuguese," warranted to take the unborn life in from one to five days. They practice their hellish trade in so-called hospitals, and it is sup? posed, as it has been more than once charged, that they burn the bodies of their victims, as they can receive no buriul permits from the Board of Health. Tho Registrar of Vital Sta? tistics, N. Harris, is of opinion that tho number of still births registered represents but about one-third the human embryos destroyed: and that one-half tho stiii-births reports are actual infanticides. This leaves the thinking man to infer that there are in New York about 2,000 women who destroy their children. A RADICAL, DODGE.-The so-called Legislature of Alabama finding it impracticable to pass, over the Go? vernor's veto, the Act authorizing that body to appoint Presidential electors, took a recess until Novem? ber, without enacting a registration law as provided for in the "Consti? tution" of the State. According to tho Montgomery Advertiser, this waa done for the deliborute purpose of defeating a popular election, that tho Legislature, upon re-assembling, may then appoint electors, on the plea that it will bo absolutely neces? sary to do this in order that the State shall not be altogether deprived of its vote in the choice of the next President of the United States. Tali ,VALUE OF ADVERTISING.-A gentleman of New York, who has takenup his" summer quarters with his family in one of the outlying suburbs, recently purchased seven pounds of sugar from his village prooer, and found it sadly adulte? rated witlt sand. Tho next day he inserted the following paragraph in the village paper: "Notice.-I bought of a grocer, in this village, seven pounds of sugar, from whioh I have extracted ono pound of sand. If tho rascal who cheated me will send to my address seven pounds of sugar (tho soriptural measure of res? titution) I will be satisfied; if not, I will expose him." The next day nine seven pound packages of sugar wcro left at tho advertiser's house, there being niuo grocers in the vil? lage, and each supposing himself to havo been detected. The bullion in the vaults of the Bank of France, which on August 6th, was stated to amount to $250, 000,000 in gold, still continues to in? crease. The latest official statement, dated August 13th, reports that the deposits had been augmented by the sum of 86,800,000. A private letter from California, mentions a remarkable horse-back race against time at the Bay View Course, near San Francisco. The rider made 800 milos in fourteen hours and won his bet. He had thirty horses for relays, and got through without killing any of them. "Is your father at home?" inquired a man of a little girl who admitted him. "Is your name Bill?" "Some people call me so," he replied. "Then he is not home; for I heard him tell John, if any bill came, to say he is not at home." One of the citizens of Mystic Bridge, Conn., recently, in his zeal to enforce a local by-law against stray animals, unconsciously drove his own. hogs to pound, and was obliged to pay the fee before he could get them released.
