National SlepubUmn AUQXTBT*-. <>•*-. SUNDAY MORNING .jJtPunry 5. U« Wiiat We Want.- Wo want pence ; we want national security. Wo want the ushering in of the glad era of short memories, and the introduction of that period when by gones may be by gones; when ns a nation we may forget old quarrels, discard cbioldt issues, and give our attention to the living questions of the day. Our nation must be one, and all the terrible memorials of our family quarrel most be buried in the deop ocean, aud oblivion must be written upon their tomb. We must, before the end of the year 18G8, realize that perfect harmony in all these States, when, from Eastport, in Maine, to Florida, in the South, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, peace may reign supreme. The Union must bo forever maintained. It was laid in faith, and roust be continued forever in its onward course.

From Madame Demurest'* Monthly Magazine.] FASHIONS FOR JANUARY. The short walking dress has become an admitted fact, and has taken its place among the “ institutions.’’ We rejoice at this for several reasons, one of which is the hoaltli fulness, second, the cleanliness, and third, tho economy of such a costume for street wear. It also compels a distinction betweeu the out door and in-door toilette, which is con ducive to both neatness and elegance of ap pearance. It has been too much the habit to trail about in the streets the one, two, or three handsome dresses, which are all that the generality of women possess, and this soon destroyed the beauty of the fabric round the bottom of the skirt to such an extent as to render them unfit for either in-door or out door wear. The temptation and tendency now is to make the short dresses too costly for their purpose. For usoful street wear, gray serge, cloth, linsey, wool reps, alpaca, or a wool stripe, check, or plaid, are altogether the most suitable, and it is not only a useless extrava gance, but outrages all sense of the fitness of things, to see expensive silk, satin, and embroidery expended on toilettes, which can never be pronounced “dress,” or fitted for anything but street wear. The newest walking costumes are made of cloth, en suit, and trimmed with black silk cord or braid, or with silk or satin folds, or pipings stitched on. These trimmings arc sometimes put on plain, but more frequently to form some sort of design, sheaf, coil, fan, leaf, or the like. A plain “Boulevard” skirt is the best to wear under those dresses, as the upper skirt is only simulated by the trimmed. Short dresses, made of linsey-woolsey, tweed, serge, or water-proof cloth, are simply trimmed with cross-cut bands of the same, piped or cdgcd'witli narrow folds of silk of the same color. The buttons are large and handsome, however, and prove a sufficiently ornamental finish. Silk and serge costumes are sometimes made with double skirts, the upper one being prettily looped up over the under one, with long straps or tabs, bound with silk, and fastened witli enamelled buttons or slides. The simplest and most useful costumes, however, are of waterproof cloth, Bismarck, or dark green, with double-breasted paletots, the whole trimmed very simply with black braid, doubled and stitched on the upper edge. New clan tartans in poplin and all wool are extremely fashionable this season, and are arranged to form the most picturesque out-door and in-door toilettes. A short tunic dress of gray or black alpaca, worn over a complete high dress of Scotch plaid, is a favorite style. Embroidered belts ot black silk or velvet are also worn over trained tartan dresses, with long, rounded tabs or sash ends, which descend low upon the skirt behind, and graduate toward the front. A short dress of Stuart plaid is very dislinyue, worn over a petticoat of shep herd’s check, particularly if the Highland scarf, fastened with a rose in white coral, mounted, as a brooch, be added to the costume. A white rose, by the way, is the emblem of the Stuart clan, and a white rose in coral, fastening a Stuart “ plaid,” or uecoratiug the dress, is a most elegant orna ment. Very rich fabrics are used this winter for visiting and evening dresses. Silks arc heavily corded or embroidered, and satin and velvets are also in great requisition. The highest colors are in vogue iti these splendid materials, such as crimson flame color, and the deep “ Nasturtian,” some times called capucinc. White lace is generally used to tone down itcoc fcoiguuus unis, ana ropes of pears, unless the wearer cau add diamonds to the splendor of her toilette. Low nocks and short sleeves have always been considered indispensable to “ full dress” abroad, but not until this season have they been adopted to any great extent in this country. This fashion is particularly hurt ful, because it is liable to be much abused.- Young girls sacrifice to it their sense of modesty, and old ladies all ideas of propriety. A square body cut high, or low, with a chemisette, ot handsome lace, is a becoming compromise with fashion, especially if uu dersleuves of lace are added to rich hanging sleeves of the material. Skating Costumes. Gray and scarlet, green and brown, crimson and Bismarck are the favorite combinations for skating attire. A gray Wensey dress, a scarlet Boulevard skirt, aud a black or gray pelisse, warmly lined is a pretty mode. The “ Norwegian Costume ' is very stylish, aud is composed as follows : A dark green dress, consisting of ti skirt and lined pelisse, which may be of empress cloth, poplin, or Wensey. A talma or postillion cape of the same material but toned upon the belt in the back and front. The latter has apertures for the arms, and these, in addition to the fastening, prevent the over cape from being of any inconve nience. The pelisse ot this suit crosses from tho throat diagonally to the bottom of the skirt. It has a separate belt and sash. Gray “ Boulevard” embroidered with scarlet, and green hat with scarlet pompon. The dress is trimmed with cross cuts of green silk sot on in sections, edged with bullion fringe in blocks of green and scarlet. Jewei.uy, —The new designs in gold and silver filagree arc very pretty. The most admired arc roses and dahlias, with jeweled hearts, a cluster, or large single flower forming the brooch, and a small blossom the earring. Veils.— Small veils are again fashion able. The bottom reaches the chin, it is cut into three or more points which end in jet or silk tassels. Many have scarfs which tie over tho chignon. Spotted silk net is much worn ; also net sprinkled with jet and gold. Bali, Dresses. —Tarlatane dresses are fashionably made with three and lour skirts. Tulle dresses also. Narrow flounces have been revived iu tarlatane, headed with rouleaux of white or colored" satin. The edges may be bound in the satin, or simply notched out. Sashes. —Have become very important accessories in a lady's toilette, ever since paletots have been worn short enough to render them such conspicuous objects. Sashes arc made of white ribbons, of gros grain, or satin, and of velvet, all cut from the piece. This season they are not con fined to dresses, but are largely worn as a dressy addition to handsome silk and velvet paletots. Hats —The Tostee.—Low crown black velvet hat, with brim of medium width, slightly rolled at tho sides. The trimming Consists of sprays of green velvet leaves, and a crossing of black velvet in folds, with two wido streamers lined with satin, and trimmed at the end with silk fringe. Tills is one ot the prettiest hats of the season. The YcHverton.—High crown white felt hat, with a heavy roll brim covered with velvet, ending with a broad scarf with fringe, and gilt leaves sot in a knot of white velvet, supporting a rich Marabout feather at the side, which gives it a very stylish appearance. I he Wanda Turban.—Blue velvet, quilled A , bll >« ostrich tip, set in a small roll ol velvet, completes tho trimming.
