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 atorial Diatricta ot this State ahall be organised by counties aa follows: 1st District—Chatham, Bryan aod Effingham. 2d 44 Liberty, Tatnall and McIntosh. 3d 11 Wayne, Pierce and Appling. 4th « Glvnn, Camden and Charlton. 5ih •* Coffee, Waro and Clinch. tUh " Eehola, Low odea and Berrien. 7ih " Brooks, Thomas and Colquitt Hih Dacatur, Mitchell aud Miller, uth •• Early, Calhoun and Baker, luth “ Dougherty, Lee and Worth. ] 1th " Clay, Randolph and Terrell. 12th “ Stewart.

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: 1HSY HAVE MUSIC IN THEIR POLKS.

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.

The ameudments oo the subject of slavery embody the very guarantee* which the Border Btatef demand, aud which the Democrats throughout the eu tire free States—a large majority of the mass* es—are perfectly willing, aod have all along been willing, to grant to the South. “Tho Border Suites have before them three alternatives—to remain in the Uuion without guarantees—to ctet in their Ifortunes with tho new Confederacy, in wbiob they are offer ed all they require —or to set up for themsel ves and make such a Constitution as they shall choose.

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 f-atre” to many a closet rich iu preserves and *we»ti»eats, aud many a bureau well stocked with household lineu ; but suoh vulgar things us keys could never t-e associated with these dainty little packets They »ro too shallow, too Fiipetflcial — they lack the depth, tiie pro-* fuLdity, the liberal, hospitable look that whs ho characteristic of those receptacle* of the dantes o. ancient days.

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 dress which may be regarded as free. All the variolic) which have pleased aud puzzled us for/he ia«t two or three seasons still remain— the flowing, (he slashed, the puffed, the Geor gian and many others. The latter is a very handsome specimen of the geous flowing sleeve, whose varieties are almost infinite.
