Senatorial Districts.
The following ara the forty four Senatorial
Districts of the 8tate, as arrat.ged at the late
session of the Convention at Savannah. It 1s
the arrangement $>f the gowmittee appointed
for that purpose, os reported by Mr. Roddy on
the 20th iustaat, and adopted without amend
ment. Several amendments wore offered, but
were voted down. As we have said heretofore,
there wilt be h>ea! objeertone to Ibis In oewer-
al pieces; hot we earnestly hope the people
will not vote It down on that account. Though
there are, and will be, objections to it in some
places, and perhaps justly so, it is, neverthe
less, such a grand improvement on our present
system, that we do most earnestly entreat all
men of all parlies, not to vote againat it on ac
count of minor objection* :
The people of Georgia, in Convention Asscm-
lied, do he 't)y declare and ordain, That the Sen

A Patriotic Southern Lady,
Who resides in Washington City, thus de
scribes the inauguration of Lincoln, in a letter
to a friend in this place, from which we are
permitted to make the following extract:
“ Aa this is the 4th of March, wo have had a
great deal to look at and think of. Mr.
and myself went out tp see the procession, but
it was a and eight to me; for I knew they were
about to inaugurate a man who was not only
ignorant and illiterate, but—worse than all—a
coward! Had you seen the guards etatiooed at
various points—the look-outs, sentries, or what
ever you may please to call them—in full uni
form on the tops of the houses in every square
between 'Wiilard’sandtheCspitol; andthenthe
carriage in which Lincoln rode, so surrounded
on all sides by dragoons that the carriage could
scarcely be perceived ; and then at the Capitol
a battalion of eoldiera stationed around where
he was to stand to speak, you could have but
known that he was a coward, and not the only
one either; but, unfortunately for Gen. Scott’s
prodictions, everything went off quietly, and
he had no use for the thousands of soldiers he
has here to keep us in subjection. Some of our
Military Companies refused to turn out, and
there were no companies from a distance visit
ing here for the occasion. Altogether, it was a
poor psrade, in comparison with those I have
before seen.”
We are also furnished with the following ex
tract from a private letter, upon the same sub
ject. After describing the military escort,
which guarded the body of Lincoln, he pro
ceeds ;
“The remainder of the volunteers were at
their quarters awaiting orders, tho cavalry
companies were all ready, standing with their
hands on their saddles, ready to spring into
them the moment the order was given.
The artillery companies were reedy with
their horses hitched to their cannon, and their
guns loaded with canister and grape, waiting
for orders. Riflemen were stationed on tho
tops of the tallest houses on the Avenue, aoady
to shoot down upon any who might attempt to
assassinate the President. He, however, was
so well guarded, that it would have been im
possible for any one to shoot him, even from a
window. Nearly 250 dragoons acted as a guard
to him, and they were as compact as it was
possible for them to get tl.eir horses; but eve
rything passod off quietly—not even a dogfykt
disturbed the order of the day."
We annex tho following from the Washing
ton Star, as a fit conclusion to the foregoing
descriptions of tho greatest farce of this sge:

A Sensation Item.
It Is stated In Washington, that the Lincoln
Administration intend stop to issue aa appeal
to the American people,both North arid South.
It is said by some, that it will be in the at}4pe
of a Presidential Proclamation, and byetke#*;
that it will he embodied in the reply of Lin
coln to the demand of our Commissioners for
recognition and a division of the public prop
erty, Ac. It is supposed that this appeal will
be tho production of Seward, and that it will
recommend the early assembling of a National
Convention.
A Contradiction*
We have authority to announce, that the
statement which lately went the rounds of the
press, ami which was copied into our paper,
that Col. W. W. Seaton, senior editor of the
“ National Intelligencer," had been appointed
Postmaster at Washington City, by Lincoln, is
altogether unfounded.

Who presented himself as the accredited Com
missioner of that State to her sister State Mis

common interests. This Mr. Orr begins to
receive his share of popular rebuke, which
will yet scathe aud blister a majority of the
State Convention. Uisconstituents, ashamed
and mortified 4t the abuse of that power con
feree! upon him, have repudiated his ncliou,
nnd invite him to come home.
We commend his attention to the following
extract from the “Webster (Mo.) Sentinel’’ of
the 13th instant :

the Border Stile* desire, while the atosnd

sought to justify their failure to offer suiluble

of their demands, can no louger plead that
doubtful plea. The Montgomery Constitution
indicates to them plainly, precisely and fully
both the nature and extent of those dvmau ls.
They ennuot henceforward plead ignorance

sensible, practical people, we give iu our ad

to ftsstrt that ilie gored skirts will, when they
become, as it were, naturalised among us, be
very popular with New York ladies. The
quaint little pockets which were especially
pointed out to us in Taylor’s as the fitting re
ceptacle for the display of a handsome hand
kerchief, used in the times of our venerated
grandmothers afr^said, carry the “open se

silks, poplin*, muslins and a host of mixed
fahriei suitable for warm weather.

But leaving generalities aside, we shall give
our lady readers some interesting details on
the present style in which dresses are made,
and to which all well regulated minds must
yield implicit obehence.

gored, and each gore is piped, gener-
,i Home color dial contrasts tastefully
j dries, or if it be a figured silk, the
prevailing color of the pattern is used for pip*-
ing Some of these tkirtb me made with
flounces almost to the waist, others with alter
nate luLls and flounces; but it in generally con
ceded that the most distingue are those which
have three or four small flounce-, or rather
frills, around the extreme end of tho skirt.—
This permits the graceful sweep of the skirls
to be plainly distinguished, nnd if the gores
are piped wit!, contrast ing culms, the guy di
versity is not concealed Two tiny pockets
arc arranged on tho front breadths, which are
pluio, and the dress is closed in frout with but-
If,ns, or trimmed wit h noeuds of ribbon or vel
vet. Any misguiding individual consoling
himself or herself with the idea that this style
will take le?* material will soou find out their
mistake ; a dress measuring seven yards round
the edge of the skirt will not be a very econo
mical one. There is still another way of trim
ming the skirt which wc must not omit to men
tion. aud that is, that the flouncing is carried
up the gores, thus developing another way of
disposing of the material, which appears lo be
the desideratum of the present regime. This
style otters a security that the hoop skirts will
still be indi-pensable, for the gored skirt re
quires a kind of frame to show its propor
tions.
THE COitSAUK.
The corsage may be considered as a kind of
appendage to the skirt, being frequently cut
out with it iu the one piece. It is made high
to the throat, aud generally without trimming.
The only kind which this style admits is a
surplice trimming crossing the shoulders and
terminating at tho waist. D sometimes exteuds
as far io frout as the pockets.
THE SLEEVE.
There is uot hing arbitrary about the fashion
of the sleeve; it is ths only portion of the

An Historical l<’act*
We subjoin the statement of a faot well
known to all versed io history, but a reminder j
of which seems necessary for the instruction !
of many, who are either ignorant of its exist- j
cnee or have forgotten it :
“Curious Historical Fact —The Evans

that soon after the acquisition of Louisiana, :
the,Governor and Judges of Indiana, who then '
composed the Legislative Council, and wero
clothed with all the legislative powers of the
Territory, were, by a special act of Congress,
authorised snd directed lo frame a code of t
laws for the then newly acquired Territory of j ‘ ■ *
Louisiana ; and, in obedience to this anomal- i Me NAUGHT* BGABI) 4e CO*
cut act of Congress, the Legislative Council of Commission nnd For star ding Merchants,

high for this class of slaves.
W it rue is Kennedy ?— Judge Forsyth, one
of the commissioners for the Southern Repub
lie, is said to be in New York. Keunidy, who
nowadays takes it *upon himself to regulate
our foreign relations, ought to look after this
arch 44 rebel ” and “ traitor.”
Dispatches tor England.—A special we a
senger from the British Legation at Washing
ton sailed in the Cunard steamer from Boston,
