Stock Feed, For the Ladies. — As a matter of paramount interest to our lady readers, we subjoin a synopsis of Madame De mo rest's Fashion Report for Septem ber. They are ala mode. , And just here we may lit pefltnitted to remark, parenthetically, that we are highly gratified «t the compliments onr lady friends have been pleased to lavish upon the Dailt Pans*. Our heart’s desire is to do good, to interest, and as far ■as in us lies, to instruct. To do this is the height of our ambition. Now for the synopsis: The gored dress not only retains its hold, but seeins at present to be acquir ing a greater vogue than ever; the'pltjr is. that it is not worn exclusively by the graceful forms for which it is intended’. Gore dresses for street wear are very unmanageable, even it made of proper material, and should never be cut with a long trail. Anew method is, to trim the lower part of each seam with but ton*, surmounted by an ornamental strap, with an end whibh fastens to the upper button upon each seam, and thus loops up the dress, and forms a graceful trimming at the same time. Anew fashion for gored walking dresses, and one which will be fbund so ■ useful that it can hardly fail to become a favorite, is to make the skirt quite short, and cut it out iu large Vandyke ß over a petticoat of the same material, trimmed with narrow bordering! This is an excellent style, fqr Fall wear; economical, yet Stylist, and not likely to become common. The narrow (lutings and frills around the bottom of cambric petticoats are so pretty, that we hope they will continue in vogue for a long tizne. In fact, nothing can be more becoming and appropriate on lingerie of every de scription, than the exquisite little ruf fles, which are a feature of our modern dress, inaugurated by the use of sewing machines. New styles in collars are all deeply pointed in front and straight and nar row at the hack. In linen the points are not becoming when they are so large; but they are very effective in cluny or English point lace. Cuffs are still pointed, and are indispeusable so long as the narrow sleeves are worn. .Bodies, are still made sliort-waisted, and with moderately wide belts. Sashes wheu used fbr eveniug wear, are of an exaggerated width, but tligy are quite confined to young ladies; married wo men who have lost the delicacy of their youth, find the deep poipts/to the waist of a rich dress a great improvement to the figure, while the wide sash ends can be retained if desired. Suare bodies will be as fashionable as ever, but they are always worn with a high lace chemisette, finished with a narrow lace round the throat; the chem isette is so peculiarly a feminine article that it should never be allowed to go out. A Very new and stylish hat. for early fall wear has a back and front, of a square form, and both so much alike that, at first sight, it is difficult to tell which way it is intended to be worn. It is made of black tulle, with a border of corn-covered velvet, worked with small jet beads, and a large Malmaison rose, with jet drops for ornament. ! Another,perhaps still more distingue, was made of black gauze drawn into puffings, and ornamented with one large deep-red rose, and three chains formed Los coral beads, which passed under the chin, over the gauze strings. Hats of Tuscan, Italian chip, and Leghorn,/.Are being prepared for fall wear, by trimming them with wreaths, composed of Rmall feathers, well curled, and dotted with colored chenille. Very beautiful chip bonuets are edged With a border of red velvet, covered with white cluny guipure, and orpa mented with a bunch of small tiaine col ored feathers. Bauds of black feathers are very pretty, dotted with lily of the valley ; these are used as a wreath, and some times as a narrow border to the new bonnets. Gauze veils, attached by some ornament, will undoubtedly be a feature of the 1 fall bonnets. NkwsPapkrs for Ladies. —Godey, of" Fashion Gazette notoriety, say* \it n n great mistake in female ecjucatiop to, keep a 1 young lady’s time and attention demoted to only the fashionable litera ture of the day. If you would qualify, her for conversation, you must givpflier something to talk about—give her edu cation with this actual world and its transpiring events. Urge her to read the newspapers, and become familiar with the ■present character aridlmprove ment of our race. History is of some impqrtanee; but the past world is dead, and we have nothing to do’with it. Our thoughts and our concerns should he for the present world ; to know what is, and improve the condition of it. Let her have an intelligent opinion, and be able to sustain an intelligent conversation concerning the mental, moral, political, aud religious improvement of our times. Let the gilded annuals and poems on the center-table be kept a part of the time covered with the weekly and daily journals. Let the whole family—men, women and children—read the uevys papers. Mr. Godey is right. His advice is wortl^^ommendation^JWejcomniendJb BRAN, Etc. Speak Gehti.t.— ln a sleeping car, receutly, a man in one of the berths became greatly annoyed by a crying ■ child, whom its father was endeavoring In vain to qaiet. The irate individual at last shouted out; “What the devil is the matter with that young one ?” And soon again: “Where is the mother of that child that she is not here to pacify it V At tliis, the poor gentleman in charge of the child stepped up to the berth and saifl : ~ . ~ ■ “Sir, the mother of that child is in her coffin in the baggage car!” Tho grumbler immediately arose and compelled the afflicted lather to retire to bis berth, aud from that time until morning took the little orphagi under his own care. . The Dame ox Pio Irox.--“A lot of copper ore in pigs 1” said Mrs. Par tington, as her eye caught au account of some smelting operations. “I don’t wonder they hate the scrofula and everything else that is .bad. I dare say their’lard is nothing but verdigrease, for copper is very dilatorious, aud pigs is bntnamJtV ffPiga’ aren’t human ) either,” skid Ike, putting his oars iq ; “and it means pigs, pf copper.” Mrs. Partington looked at him seriqusly a moment. “Well," said she, “if pigs isn’t human, some humans are more like pigs, and so there's but little differ ence.” New Advertisements. —We chll at tention to the following new advertise ments which appear in this morning’s Press : L. B. Davis wishes to know why warehousemen and planters pay forty five cents for gunny bagging when they can get it from him, second-hand, at twenty cents ? One tenement house on Ellis street, between Elbert and Centre streets, is for rent. Apply to John V. Keener. Mrs. Fargo’s School, for boys and giris, will re open on Monday, Septem ber 3d.

Rati,road Aokncy. —Mr. Isaac Levy has been appointed Agent, at this point, for the line from Augusta to the North, via Columbia, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Weldou, and by tho Portsmouth and Bay Line route. Also, for the line via Greenfihort)’ and Danville to Richmond and Washington. Mr. Levy was the Agent of the routes previous to the war. Further particu lars may be ascertained by application to the Agent, at his store on Broad Street, just above Centre. Remedy for Hog Cholera. —The fol’owing is said to be a sure remedy for the above mentioned fatal disease : Put tar on your hogs, commencing at the nose, thence right up between the ears and down the back to the tail. Mix a little iff their food—ground food is best— and put it in,their trough. Give to all, sick and well, glike. Another remedy, which is said to be very efficacious, is nrsenic, at the rate of one ouneg to tvyenty-live bogs. This is said to be a certain cure. Both are simple and cheap, and are worth trying. Robber ABrested.—A negro man was detected, early yesterday morning, on Greene Street, in the act of commit ting a robbery upon some person whose riame we failed to learn. Perceiving tje Police were about to arrest him, the thief took : to his heels, was fired at twice or thrice, and was ultimately cap tifred in the rear yard of Mr. Morris, corner of Elbert and Greene Streets. —— ; rrrrr ■ AnmiEss.—■.We have jlftfeiviM-V copy of • Col.

Love of Children.- —A brother of the quiH says the love of children appears to him like the love of flowers —holy and innocent; and the man who is fond of them cannot be t£e possessor of a brutal or .bad heart, We agree with him..

Hero’s charity with, a vengeance. Let’s take a bird’s-eye view Os facts.

Well, a gentleman whom every body respects (whose respect is worth a grot) inadvertently sells a few books* presented by a Northern gent, for the benefit of the School, without first cutting out one or two objectionable leaves as he might have done, instead of calling atten tion to them reprohensibly, when tho pur chasers could themselve.H have done so— whereupon, a great hue and cry is raised! For whas4ibject ? Who daren impugn un worthy motives ? Then what’s the use. of all this “ Much ado about nothing.” Why don’t the original aoitinentator come out over his own name, ,instead of this sneaking attack ? Why did he not go pen-, tonally to the party And make his objec tions ? We answer, because it would have spoiled a sensational paragraph, and quashed a little most contemptible effort at scandal. .The opinion of au outsider is, that the originator is “Gamb, not worth the Powder.” Augusta Market; kv. , 'h .- ‘ Augusta, -Ga., Aflgist 29, 1866.
