Municipal elections in Oswego, Troy,

The municipal elections in New York,
on the 3d, resulted in the election of a
Democratic Mayor by 103 majority, and
two out of four Aldermen.

The Herald says business at the Custom
House has been quite brisk of late, though
not equal to some of the months of last

Soldiers’ Clothing.
It is not with a spirit of fauU-flattiug that
I would call the attention of Quartermaster;;,
and others intrusted with the making of sol
diers’ clothing, to n few, to them small mat
ters, but of much inconvenience to us.
Nearly all the clothing that we got from
the Qutrleriiiasters’ department is almost
worthless, because the sewing is sorTily done.
Not one garment in ten will not last a week
without being made over. This is especially
the case with shirts and drawers. It is noth
ing oneomruou for a man to find his new draw-
era alter the Ural day’s wear in four pieces.—
If government officials do not know when
sewing is properly done, let them employ
some one who does, and if they cannot do
this get out of the way and let oar wives,
mothers and sisters, have tbs material; for
they know how to make two pieces of cloth
stay togother.
Patriotic ladies who arc engaged in maldug
clothing, remember that you can benefit the
soldier more by making one garment well
than a dozen shabbily.
CAVALIER.
Middletown, Tenn., March 15th, 1862
The Southern Illustrated News.
This paper has succeeded beyond expectation
when first started, and is now firmly established.
The great rise in materials has caused an ud-
v*nce in the price, which is now $10 per annum
or $6 tor six months. There has been great
improvement of late in - the pictures, which at
first were very poor, but now quite respectable
It is as well filled with as good reading as any
i luatrated paper in America.
Crinoline Imitations of the Habits or Cur
tain Officials. 4
1 eeterday morning some fifteen or twenty
'Womeu, residents ol this city, all decently and
eomo even well dressed—wearing golden ear-
hobs and breast-pins—collected and went
-around the city to a number of our grocery
merchants and •• seized” certain articles of
iprovisiou—liaoun at one place, meal at anoth
<er, vegetables at another, &o., &e. They did
mot pleud'povsrty, or pressing want, yr solic
it donations or anything of the kind. They
-had money, and said thoy had employment
making clothes lor the government, by which
they conld make money, but refused to give
the common prices of the articles they want
ed; therefore, they had collected in a body
aod were going round setting what they want
ed, and paying whatever prices they thought
proper.
Whatever may be said of the conduct of
these ladies on its merits, we have this to say.
it is bat au imitation of many illostrions ex
amples which tnt-n in high position have set
them. Gov. Brown i eommeneed it by seising
salt and Axing a price upon it, precisely as
these women did y«-sturday ; and the officials
of tho Confederate Government, high and low,
have been doing the same in Virginia, Geor
gia, Mississippi and Texas.
Now these women have just as much right to
seize the properly of others and fix a prico upon
it, paying that and no more, as Gov. Brown, or
-General Bragg or General Permberton or Cap
tain—anybody, and their necessities, we ven
tare, are as great os in any erse of seizure that
•has yet been made, where an arbitrary prise has
•been fixed by the seizer. Is it any wonder that
people oecome imbued with a spirit of lawless
ness with such examples set before them I
But mark the difference. In the one case
ibis robbery has been tolerated—submitted
to, by the sufferers, owing to their patriot
ism—not wishing to resist what might appear
to some to be a patriotic duty to submit to,
or what jnight be enforced at the point of
the bayonet; bat the police were set upon
these women who quickly dispersed them.

Speaking Well of Others.—If thedispo
sition to speak well of others were univer
sally prevalent, the world would become'a
comparative paradise. The opposite dis
position is the Pandora’s box, which, when
opened, fills every house and every
neighborhood with pain and sorrow. How
many enmities and heart-burnings flow
from this source! How much happiness
is interrupted and destroyed! Envy,
jealousy, and the malignant spirit of evil,
when they find vent by the lips, go forth
on their mission like foul fiends, to blast
the reputation and peace of others. Every
one has his imperfections, and in the con
duct of the best there will be occasional
faults, which might seem to justify ani
madversion. It is a good rule, however,
when there is occasion for faultfinding to
doit privately to the erring one. this
may prove Balutary. It is a proof of in
terest in the individual, which will gener
ally be taken kindly, if tho manner- of
doing it is not offensive. The common
and unchristian rule, on the contrary, is to
proclaim the failing of others to all but
themselves. This is unchristian, and shows
a despicable heart.
Fiat is the Woods.—Passengers by the
night train of the South Carolina Railroad
vn-re startled yesterday morning, about two
o’alock, near the Thirty Seven Mile Station,
by a fire in the woeds of alarming propor
tion* The fire extended several miles oi
both aides of the .railroad, and must have de
eiroyed a large amount of property in houses;
fence*, etc., in its coarse. It had not, how
ever, approached the railroad track.
Poi-aengers on the Northeastern Railroad
Ttport that a lire of extensive dimensions
raged in the woods a few miles this side of
Mount Holly, and it is feared that tho fire
above mentioned has extended to this section.

Suicide or Gen. Hayhau.—A letter from
Cassei announces the suicide of Lieutenant-
General Vi»n Uaynau He shot himself
through the mouth with a conical ball.

for his brutality daring the Hungarian revo-

jMessrs, Goetzel & Co., of Mobile,
have entered into arrangements for the
publication of a monthly Magazine, tho
first number of which is to be issued on

An Eloquent Extract.—Generation after
generation have felt as we now feel, and
their lives were as active as our own. The
heavens snail be as bright over our graves
as they are around our paths. Yet a little
while, and all this shall have happened
The throbbing heart will be stilled, and we
shall be at rest. Our funeral will wend its
way, and the prayers will be said, and we
shall be left in the darkness and silence of
the tomb. And it may be but for a short
time we shall be spoken of—but the things
of life shall creep on, and our names will
be forgotten. Days will continue to move
on, and laughter and songs will be heard
in the room wherewe died, and the ey^s
that mourned for us will be dried and ani
mated with joy, and even our children will
cease to think of us, and will remember to
lisp our names no more.

Referring to the conscription bill, tho St.
Louis ftcpublican says, (hat wiiilo there are
some objectionable feature< in tho measure,
which may he dismissed, and while honest
differences in. regard to the polioy of dlling
the armies by a general draft, managed by the
general government instead of by the States,
may be eats tajned, it is the duty of it) oppo
nents to beware that their opposition does not
amount to repudiation, d is obedience or infrac
tion of its provisions.
The Rochester Union, conservative Demo
crat, e»ys: This bill, if we do not misa'ppte
bond its provisions, is intended to override
every intermediate of State authority, and
render the Federal Government as absolute
as was that of Napoloou. We do not sue
what respect the system it is designed to in
augurate falls Abort of revolution.
The following is fr:;m a special dispatch to
the.Appeal from Panola, dated ilie 10th:
It was repotted at the Federal capital that
the administration was about to attempt to
propitiate the conservatives, in order to se
cure their support for the conscription bill,
by a change of policy, involving a reorgani
zation of the army, securing to McClellan a
command, a subordination of the black troops,
a modification of the proposed.system of-ar
bitrary arrests, &o.
An engagement is reported to have occur
red near-Winchester, in which the Federate
were routed, luting two hundred men.

THIRD DISPATCH.
Tho Senate resumed the coesideration of
the Supreme Court bill. Mr .' Yancey deliv
ered a lengthy argument to show that the
Constitution did not grant to the Supreme
Court appellate jurisdiction over State Courts,

other contraband artiolcs.
Lincoln will call for more men in a few days
Ia the South-west a new arm has been in
troduced into the U. S.- service to meet the
exigencies on. the Western rivers, called the
Mississippi Marine Brigade,” which is to
operate against the rebe} guerillas on the river
banks.
The rumor about the loss of tho Florida is
without foundation.
Th a Herald says the people of the loyal
States are not in a frame of mind to tolerate
the repetition in ’63, of the blunders and mili
tary disasters of ’61 and ’62. Military suc
cess is imperiously demanded, and is tho one
thing needful to save tne administration and
the country from shipwreck.
Linooln considers the raid on Fairfax a se
rious matter, as far as horses are concerned.
He says he can make a brigadier general in
five minntes, but it is not so easy to replace
110 horses.
European dates to the26th February are re
ceived. The American war has cansed some
excitement in the English House of Lords.
Earl-Russell alluded to the question of the re
oognition of the Southern Confederacy, and
requested Lord Stratherton to postpone until
the 24 inst. the motion which he had given
notiee of for the presesentation of copies of
all dispatches from Mr. Mason to Her Majes
ty’s Government, and the claims of the South
ern Confederacy tp be acknowledged as an in
dependent power by Great Britain, to which
request Lord Stratherton acceded laconically

rounded and captnred at Covington, Tenn.
on the 9th inist.
Brigham Young haq4>een indicted and bail

and 161.
The steamship Australasian, from Liver
pool, has arrived with dates to the 1st inst.—
Seward’s dispatch rejecting the French pro
posal for mediation provokes the criticism of
the London journals The Times says it is
quite consistent with all Seward has pro
viously written upon the subject, nnd that he
is either preternaturally light or ineompehen-
sibly wrong. The Post, Lord Palmerston’s
organ, dee'area that, emanating as thhi docu
ment does, from the Federal Cabinet, it is
truly incredible, that that body should have
sunk so low as to indorse as its own, in the
face of tho world, so unich arrant falsehood
and absurd nonsense. Tbe Homing Star con-’
eiders the do moment unanswerable. The Paris
Pays treats the matter indifferently. The

The Wive* or Yankee Soldiers.
We are indebted toT. J. McFarland, one of
Morgan’s men, for tho following, which ii the
concluding portion of a letter taken from the
pocket of a dead Yankee soldier found near
Woodbury, - Tenn. The letter is from the
wife of the Yankee, living iu Indiana. Mr.
McFarland says tho letter from which tho
following is taken, is lengthy, spirited and
well written, partly, in- prose and partly in
rhyme:
OI ni; God, what ara we doing,
White the ••conflict” ta renewing
for the while mat,’* subjugation,
And tho “Union's’' restoration;
With bsnkiuotcjr, war and sorrow
All in store ‘or u* to-moirow;
While the ChrUtians all are praythg,
And. the people here are saying,
“Give ns Pl-.oi and liberty.
And let the cursed negro be.”
Emancipation I what a libel
On the lews—Iho Holy Bible I
Au-t tbe Ttrast soon will no-amp us
w iih the writ of Habeas Carpus
Torn away from event freeman.
■ Bouud and chain’d like pira'e teamen,
I rliuing a i mou to a lev®:*—
■ DriuiuA swiftly to th« devil 1
I must close tbi* teogthy letter.
Still h< ping, praying lor ib» bettor !
That all will coase their bloody fighting,
And poor wiies their loiter writing
To their lar off, * Imme-forsaken.’’
tt horn the ‘-crisL!’ has o’er taken
With the nwful woes of battle; .
While both shot and shell do rattle
At oar loved ones, whom we cherish,'
But ue ftarful they wi l perish
Long before tbe war is - nded
Or ihs “glorious Union” mended.
Now I have closed these hasty verses,
While we snCor sad reverses
-in the army; and the city.
With no eye onr wants to pity;
Alt oflt of wood and short ofc'ovsr—
And would to God the war was ove;;
And yon at home, in health, with me,
With lasting peace and liberty.
