PnUy Women,
BY A PKETTY WOMAN.
I have often wondered why there are noprofesa-
cd beauties now a-dayr, while every past age ctn
boast its Helens; one generation may number
many pretty faces, but it is the only one among
the thousands already counted that produces uu
beauties whoso names shall descend impcrish&bly
to the generations yet tocoinc.
A fru-ml of mine (n gentleman, of course! sug
gests that tho universal likeness of the ladies of
this age accounts for n falling-off in other res
pect* | hut here wo differ; for, although It is a
rare thing for a pretty woman to bo clevor, or for
n clever woman to bo pretty, too many of such
lare instances do occur to allow any rule to be
i Htahlishcd containing such a solution of tho diffi
culty.
Yet, we cannot open a page of any history that
docs not record the fame of some beauty; tho HI-
Me Ins its llachcl,—so lovely that twenty years uf
uervii e was deemed n light lee for her nlTecUont t
the world was lost fur Cleopatra; tho beautiful

Hot 1 think tho problem may bo solved: it is tho
ditli nnioofdreas,—cosfumo docs It all« rovivo

For tin ro must havft been a good deal of Ufflfttcw,
otherv.-iw: beauty would notliavo been so forcibly
apprt < iateil; had there boon mote pretty girls in
tins days of Troy, Helen would have had fewer
suitors, and Ilium might havo been standing yet.
lnnno must havo tsaeri plain l so must £appho
have been—Sappho of tho Divine Heart! llut
what are hearts compared to faces?—what man
loves a genius for her genius? How many luvb
a fool for her face I
nut wlnt I moan to say is tills,—in those times
people dress so unbecomingly, that unless their
features woro perfect they were literally nothing}
all tho minor graces which set ofTa moefiocre per
son note were totally unavailable under that sys
tem of costums. «
For instance, Helen must havo worn a loose
i "b«', n broad girdle, bare arms, sandals on her
fi-i t, nml her hair bound back In those rich, mag
nificent braid*, termed to this day “Grecian
Flail*.”
Hut imagine for a moment all your acquain
tance droned in this way! Would not the ma
jority bis frightful? How few faces, how few
complexions would stand that landing back of the
thick hair! how few locks are thick.enough so to
band back ! how few forms would show well be
neath tho simple n<l>c, without stays or stiff petti-
coat.ll how few feet would be endurable in sau
'dais l how few aims would bear the noonday
sun and the sharp winds, which would soon ro-
duco them to the pattern and form of a washer
woman's !
Perhaps the Jewish costume of Rebecca anc'
Rachel may have been a shade better} but here
was the same exposure of neck and arms with
tho additional disadvantage of a robe that showed
. a leg encased in hideous boots and hose, and that
refused to sweep with. Grecian amplitude round
the limbs of tho fair wearers.
Cleopatra—who is represented as both dork and
stout—could wear only the robes of white or pur
ple, the heavy diadem, the strings of pearls that
were the allotted garb of Egyptian princes. How
dark nml how uncomely must havo been the ma
jority of her countrywomen may bo judged from
the sensation the inado.
The Roman ladies were finned for thdr stately
carriage and somewhat large though noble fea
tures; and when to these charms were added those
of regularity and delicacy and beautiful colour
ing, no doubt their simple and pen coquette style
of dress was especially becoming to them; But
without these latter qualifications now,gaunt and
conrso they must have appeared.
What can bo more lorcly than tho figure of
Agrippina—bending tliat stately head above the
ashes of Gcrmnnicus?—the robe falls in long,
sweeping folds} the bare arm, naked to the shoulder
supports the urn} the hair, braided bock, shows
tho perfect profile, the pure oval check, the smooth
brow, the magnificent eye in its large and lofty
chamber—not a ringlet, not a ribbon, not tho
gleaming of a jewel breaks the calm outline or
disturbs the severe unity.
Agrippina could bear that stylo} Faustina and
Mcssalina were less and looked ever better. Per
haps among the circle of our acquaintance there
are two or three women who would appear to ad
vantage so attired;—but oh! how well for the
dumpy and the scraggy, tho “n«xr retrousse" and
the "nez snub” that they fall upon better days.
As we descend tlie stream of time the number
of celebrated in-outies decrease} this we may at
tribute to tho increasing knowledge of the art of
dress: indifferent complexions, bad figures, Ir
regular features, began to have something like
fair play shown to them} exigencies of person
met with some assistance from costume; and in
the same degree os tho plain women were made
to appear less plain, were the beauties rendered
less prominent and the distance between the par
ties lessened
Still wc hear of some, so strikingly lovely u to
bo known to all the world by tho fiuno of their
eyes alone; of these we inny name Edith of the
K wati-ncckj so called from the brilliant whiteness
of a skin capable of resisting the exposure to sun
and wind, which tanned and freckled into fright-
fulness tho queens and lofty ladies of those rude
days; Rosamund the Fair—so fair tliat it was said
nf her, “Nona hut a jealous and exasperated wo
man could have harmed her:” Beatrice Cenci,
whoso lioauty makes one shudder, so mysterious
seems the ligiiUin those large untroubled eyes,
soon about to cloeo beneath the pressure of an
awful a fate: Lucrczia Borgia, an angel in faro,
a demon in heart; Mary of Scotland, whom “no
man ever beheld witliout, love,” and some few
i it hers, until we reach that famous trio recorded
in the letters of Horace of Walpole, as the loveli
est women of their time, three Misses Gunning.
One of theso—the Duchess of Hamilton—was
f* i renowned for her charms, that her fame spread
far and near, inasmuch that when travelling onro
from the North to London, the mob in tho places
where sho rested nt nights nsscmblod round the
hotels, ncr would they depart until she had ap
peared on the. balconies to display to them her
world-famed face.
And there is something strangely sad in the
account Uf tho death of another of the sisters—
Isidy Coventry—who perished of consumption
while In tho highest pridaf of youth and beauty.
She is recorded as patiently awaiting the ap-
Tele(iraphk3 Inaccuracies.—We had occa
sion, night before last, to verify tho telegraphic
despatches of tgo Liverpool cotton market*ns
transmitted to tho Baltimore papcis, by tho
originals in IVUImer If Smith's European Times.
The cuttou quotations were correct, but in two
despatches (onoof WTllmeu & Smith, the other
of Geo. Holt & Co. j wo found no less than fair-
teen distinct error* in figures regarding tho trans
actions in cotton. In somo cases these mistakes
wero comparatively unimportant, while in others
they amounted to a departure from tho truth to
the extent of many thousands of bales.
Tub Isabel.—Tho excellent steamer IK*. Sea-
brook, Cnpl. Blankenship, communicated with
tho Isabel off tho bar yesterday afternoon nt 6
o’clock, and delivered tho malls and pasacugcta
from this place for Key West and Havana. The
Isabel carries out 82 passengers for Havnua. Sho
brought five .for this placo.
Wo were one of a small party of gentlemen who
went down to meet tho Isabel and enjoy tho oca
breeze. Tho excursion, though abort, was a plea
sant one} and wo wonder that our young friends,
especially the ladies, do not oflcner avail them
selves of theso occasional opportunities to visit
Tybee.
Tho new Beacon on Cockspur Inland wna

It is for sale at A. A. Solomons, Mniket-aquirc.

Removals and Appoiniments.—Wc learn
from Uio Union that the Secretary of the Home
Department (Mr. Ewino) has called upon the
Land Office, and we presume tho other bureaus
within his department, fur a list of the clerks em
ployed—stating at what time they came intooffice,
and whom they succeeded, &c., kc.
An order, it is said, has been issued by Secretary
Meredith, to ascertain who was removed, and who
appointed, under the administration of Mr. Pour;
also tho reasons for removal.
09* The Washington correspondent of the Bat
^Itnorc Sun, writing on the 12lh Inst., says:
message was received from tho President of the
Uuitcd States, by the hand of Col. Bliss, private
secretary, understood to be nominations for some
twenty or thirty vacancies existing, and about
to occur, among which, I understand, are Jus
tices of the Peace for the District of Columbia
Mr. Loval, naval officer at Norfolk, reappointed;
Palmer V. Kellooo, in place of Jacob Gould,
marshal of the Western District of New-York}
Gov. Gayle, representative In the last Con
greas, Judge of the District Courts of the United
States for Alabama; Charles Hudson, a repre
sentative in the last Congress from Massachusetts,
naval officer of the port of Boston.

State.”
proach of death—her looking-glass her constant
companion—as scarcely ever removing her eyes
from tlie reflection of her own face, and as be
wailing only the too early extinction of a beauty
worthy of immortality.
At the tipio in which these fair sisters lived, the
stylo of dress, although magnificent and grace
ful yhu eminently trying to plain people, and
as eminently propitious 'to those more favored;
hence tho exceeding value of beauty—hence the
extraordinary renown of those ranking as beau-
tie t—hence tho apparent rarity of that renown.
The hair was then worn completely Jifled 6ff
the face, leaving Exposed every feature; unless
those features were regular to perfection, unless
the complexion was smooth ns marble aud pure
ns snow, who could look well? And how very
well those must have looked who did possesssuch
advantages.
At a later time, when tho namesofsome favour
ite beauties are agalu^recorded, the costume, to
tally different, was so hideous, that no ono could
wear it with impunity—hence tho high reputation
for beauty of Pauline Bofiaparto ana of Madame
U- ramicr. The former is described as appearing
nt a party given by her mighty brother, iu a tunic
of whlto muslin, reaching tittle below the kce and
commencing far below the shoulders, the waist
exceedingly nhort, and bound with a narrow gir
dle ; sandals clothed tho small feet, while a man
tle of leopard skin hung loosely rouud tlie perfect
form of Canova'a fairest model.
And there arc many who can yet remember
the appearance of Madame Rccamicr in the parks
of London, clad in a robe as scanty and as sim
ple— her dark hair wreathed around her head and
fastened with a bodkin to tho summit, and a scar
let mantle wrapped around her.
Now-a-days, tho toilet of a lady is exactly con
ducted upon tlie principles most becoming to all;
few figures look 111 In tho sweeping rubes and
lengthened coraago—ample and stately witliout
stiffness; ancles, however thick,are concealed by
the long dresses, now the mode. Features, how
ever coarse, can be softenod and shaded in to some
thing li!,.-symmetry, by the judicious urrango.
,incut of locks permitted to be worn In bauds, or
braid*, or ringlets, just as best suits the face they
surround.
And while no arbitrary fashion force* tho ctfpo-
sure of a frightful profile, a clumsy arm, d pon-
d< ions dncla, no rule exists to prevent the reverse
of these being shown. Every lady is at liberty to
bring out her own "good points” as sho thinks
best, and it is easy tojdo so, as well as to conceal
her weak ones without departing from tho fashions
that prevail.
Under tho circumstances, it must certainly bo
a consolation to our fair friends to feel, that al
though it is difficult now to earn the reputation
of pre-eminent beauty, it Is equally difficult to
appear remarkably plain; and it is surely better
to possess only moderate charms, and to know
Hint there arc hut few of the sisterhood without
somo redeeming attraction, than to have been a
very goddess of lovclinrsr, and have felt that
your own divinity was created by the sacrifice of
whole hecatombs of less fortunate faces.

Rosbery or the Government Jewels—Re-
markable Revelation.—The National Police Gaxette
of this week contains some remarkable revelations
respecting the robbery of tlie Patent Office in No
vember, 1818. The Gazette lias from the first,
charged that the robbery was committed by two
well known thieves, Hand and Webb, under the
direction of others? and tliat the object of these
men was not so much plunder, as to be in a posi
tion successfully to negotiate for the release from
primn of a brother of Webb’s, who h*d been con
victed of forgery. Letters roceivcd by President
Polk, offering to restore the jewels, have been
traced by tlie editors of the Police Gazette to

SAVANNAH REPUBLIC AN, FRIDAY MORNjtf^ MARCH 16, 18-19.

The Cabinet. It will be seen tluil a dirtin
guuhcd .did favorite citizen of Georgia lias been
honured with nn Important position in the new
cabinet. It need nut bo disguised, that a large
portion of the Whig party in Georgia,>ud in
oilier States or tho Uuion, will bo disappointed
tliat tho Navy Department was not tendered to
the Hon. Thomas Butler Kino, tho able End dis
tinguished Representative in Congress from tho
First District of Georgia. HU peculiar fitness for
tho Btation, and (lie general desire manifested
from almost all sections of tlie Union, tliat he
should bo placed at the head of the Navy Depart
ment, hnd induced us to believe that tlie appoint
ment would haVO been offered to him. But so it
is; old Z ack will do as ho pleases, and Mr. Kino
„ tho immediate Representative of tho city of
Savnimnli, whoso commercial importance's al
ready advancing a little too fust to suit tlie no
tions of n certain clique in Georgia, who arrogate
themselves the management of every tiling
great—both political and commercial. This is
tlie reason Mr. Kino did not receive the appoint
ment of Secretary of tlie Navy. Ills iufiucnce In
the cabinet, might have conduced Indirectly to
the prosperity of Savannah, wlikli would have
been su unpleasant slate of affairs. In the sight of
her neighbor in South Carolina, and thorn in
Georgia, who by their acU, aid iu building up
Cluxrlcston at tho expense of our own sea-port.
Wo do not wUh to bo understood as murmur-
ingaltho appointment of Gov. Crawford. By
no means. He U n gentleman of brilliant talents,
and sterling character,and U at this time, beyond
doubt, tlie most popular man in Georgia. That
he will discharge his official duties with dfatin-
guUhed ability, we havo not the least doubt, but
lib position in the cabinet is not such a one ns
will enable him to do any thing for the commer
cial prosperity of Ids native State.—Dalton Eagle.
Ms. Speaker Wintheop.—During the session
of the House of Representatives which lias just
closed, (saysthe Baltimore Clipper,) tlie Speaker
disclulrgtN^hU arduous duties with impartiality,
ability and propriety, nml received the customary
vote of approbation. He returned his thanks in
an address replete with feeling, good sense and
patriotism, and iu cliaate aud beautiful language.
We extract the following paragraph, as contain
ing a lmpe in which every friend to tlie Union
will most cordially unite:
“ And let us hope and trust—as I, for one, moat
fervently and confidently do-^lbat, by tho bless
ing of God upon prudent, conciliatory, andjuitri-
otic counsels, every cause of domestic dissension
and fraternal discord inny bo speedily dono away,
and tlml tho States told the people, whose Repre
sentatives we are, may be bound together forever
in a firm, cordial, and indissoluble uuion.”
Tlie country has hnd a suifeit of “domestic'
dissension and fiaternal discord,” and it is most
fervently to bo hoped, tbut “it inny bo speedily
douu away.” A little forbearance will^ecl this
desirable object, and restore perfect harmony to
the country. *
The New P6bt Master—An Interesting Fact.
The Ncw-York Courier f Enquirer in speaking of
the appointment of Judgo Collamsb, says:—
“In his own Stale he lias long had a high reputa
tion as a noble and successful lawyer, a man of
unlmpcacliable integrity and of great and. well-
earned influence. He is, to an extent,, rare even
in this country of wonderful opportunities and
facilities for success, the artificer of his own for
tunes, having raised himself, by the most stren
uous efforts, from poverty to his present place.
To illustrate his exertions and his merits iu this
regard, we inay witliout impropriety repeat here
remark we heard him ninko at a dinner of the
graduates of his Alma Mater - tlie University of
Vermont.—over a year ago. Speaking of one of
the early Presidents of that institution, who wax
in office while he was in college, Mr. Collamer
said he never heard him utter what seemed to
him a harsh reproof but once, and tliat was when
he directed him never again to appear iu tlie
recitation loom witliout shoes. Tlie liurshncss of
the remark, he said, sprung from the fact that he
had no shoes, lie procured some, however, and,
for the sake of economy, carried them in hi*
hand to the door of the recitation room, and then
put them on.”

Cast Iron Leo.—The Philadelphia Ledger
slates, that one of the most perfect artificial leg*
tiiut lias ever been constructed, is one made most
ly of cut iron, invented by Mr. G. W. Yea-
K r, South Third at., Philadelphia, for Mr. J. P.
ntth of tlie United Stator. Engineers who lost
his limb in the battle of Chcruhusco. The arti
ficial leg only weighs 8 pounds J1 ounces, nnd it
fa so perfect that the knee aud Uio ankle motions
belonging to the natural leg nnd foot con nil be
performed with nearly ns much facility ns the
manufactured one. The springs allow tuo natu
ral play of the foot, imd the leg instead of hang
ing buck in wnlkiug, ns we see frequently in the
wooden legs, cornea properly forward, ebedient to
the will of Uio wearer. It is allowed by skilful
sergeons in Philadelphia, to whom it has been sub
mit ted for inspection, to be the best one of the kind
that has ever been made.— Scientific American.

The Mabyland Senator.—Tho appointment
by Gov. Thomas of Benj. C. Howard, democrat,
as UflB. Senator, in piano of Mr, Job«s*9*l pjnst
stand at least until tho fast Monday (which is the
lost day) of December next, at which lime tho
new Legislature of tho State, chosen tho first
Wednesday in October, will meet according to
law. Tlie new Congrbss will then have been in
scssifin four weeks. The appointment reduces the
number of Whigs in tho U. S. Senate for the time
bciug, to 2%, and iucrcases the number of Demo
crats to 35, givingthe latter a majority of 10, out
of a total of 60 members.*’
Governor of Tennessee.—We observe that
Neil S. Brown, the popular and able Governor of
Tennessee, declines a re-election. The Locos
have several candidates in tlie field, among them
Qfam Gideon J. Pillow, the hero of the Matamo-
ros ditch- Hon. A. O. Pi Niciioleon, formerly U.
8. Senator, and the recipient of Gen. Casa’ fa
mous letter, is also proposed.
[TT* The Union lias begun a song of praise—a
sort of sacred chant—to the memory of Mr. Polk’s
administration. Canto I. appears on Wednesday,
and it will probably be spun into Epic dimen
sions. It is a '(Battle of the Frogs and Mice,”
cxtcndtjQfo-tho bulk of an “Iliad.”
Tubnino a Handsome Pennv,—Gen. Cass,
tlie facile princeps of Locofocofam, a poor gentle
man worth only half a million, made from the
public, entered the Senate hall at nine o’clock on
Saturday evening, three hours before the session
expired, and retired at twelve o’clock. This
cured him nearly one tlioiuand dollars frqpi the
public treasury. There are 'men weak enough
to have shrunk from this magnanimous exhibi
tion of disinterested patriotism; but Gen. Cass
thought very justly that this trilling extra might
well bo afforded by tho government that has just
escaped from tho doom of having such a Presi
dent. , ■

enterprise, calculated to deveiu;ic Hie mineral 're
sources of tlifa State, has just been put into opera
tion. Extensive Iron works—at least so iiitcndrd
to bo—have‘recently .been established in Shelby
county, about four miles from Columbiana, and
near the Coosa river. This location fa in the belt
of country traversing the middle part of thnStatc,
containing more mineral wealth, we verily be
lieve, than Uie wlwlc of California. Iron, coal,
marble, limestone, kc., kc., exist in great abun
dance in this range, aud iu lime an immense
amount of capital, machinery and. labor will con
centrate there to render It available. Even sliould
the improvident system of planting continue un
til our best soil fa wholly exhausted, Alabama
will then possess tho real elements of wealth to nu
extent sufficient to render her in less than s quar
ter of a century the mistress of the confederacy.
“The following extract of a letter wc take from
the Montgomery Journal:
“ 'Our furnace fain full blast and bids fair to do
well. It is operated, as you know, by steam.
The iioiicr fa at tlie top of the stack, where we
control the waste heat, and thereby dispense
with Hie necessity, expense and uso of wood,
which fa a great saving to us, and shows that
■team can be used in this-with more propriety
than in any other business. We are making from
ton to twclte thousand pounds pig iron per day
and soon will be ready to do any and all sorfa of
casting. Wo design, also, the coming summer
to erect a puddling lire and go at onco to making
tmr iron, wliicn-will be inoio profitable than tlie
cast iron business, especially, should any of the
contemplated railroads be built. Our ote yields
from 60 to 60 per rent and fa wholly incxaustiblc.
Had we means of easy transportation, the busi-
ness might be extended until half a million was
invested in machinery—but this, with us, fa tlie
difficulty. Our only chance fa to go down tiie
Coosa foi flats. We are nov placing our pigs on
the river, and will bo at Montgomery and Pratt
ville the first tide. Will you, if convenient, say
this much to your foundry company ?' ”

commenced operations, which increased the fears
of tlie people, nnd a general rush was made for

any idea of the scene which the theatre now pre

On the gallery stair, at one of tho landing

The poor creatures were carried to houses ad
