LETTER FROM THE QUAKER CITY.
Special Correspondence of the Daily Telegraph.]
Philadelphia, Sept. 25, 1865.
Eds. Teltgi-nph—Yesterday, and being an
invalid, I sat at my window and watched the
living panorama of [fashion and style that
;dAily moves along Chestnut street in thiscitv-
Tfca fashions for ladies naturally attracted
my attention mote than anything else. Pre
suming that your lady readers may be partic
ularly interested in the mode of fashion that
eiista at.present, I shall try to describe. The
&tahfc*» for dresses is the looped i
,,‘juid (Qt'ereibre shall be at the
it.- yf, however, like it.
^ecu’ffe] a Tone. If is - not,
pretty, liecause b short dressId answer
the same purpose, and exliibif'iess agonizing
cBsplay. . ’
The skirt of the dress in this fashion is
looped up with pins, or tncked with thread
or buttons, or any fancy means, at intervals,
that permit'triangular spaces of the petticont
to appear. According to the exhibitor’s taste
or desire, she can raise the loops ns high as
she wishes, there seeming to be no limit to
that part of the fashion. The skirts of the
petticoats are exhibited here in all styles aud
colors, according to the.fancy of the wearer;
usually, however, they are clean, white and
either plain or bordered with edging or fril r
ling, as is preferred. The petticoat is usually
worn about four inches from the ground,
though I have noticed mnny wear their dress
and petticoats n foot from the ground. The
greater number of tlie Indies wear rather
wide spreading' hoops, , so that the foot and
ankle are very much displayed, mid at cross
ings, ftndjwhen turning sharp angles and cor
ners, the promenader shows the leg to the
kriee. Some curious developments are thus
made^and so. seldom is n finely-formed, beau
tiful and neat little foot shown, that the eye
of the observer of one lingers long on the ob
ject, find reluctantly loses . sight of it as it-
-fftdes away and disappears amongst a thou
sand otlier twinkling feet tliaf move mysteri
ously along- the pavement. In this city, the
greatei 1 nuriiber of feet that have thus far ap
peared to my watchful gaze have lieen unu
sually large, and not at all pretty; and then
the box ankles and spindle looking extenua
tions that are usually hidden—the greater
number of them should be carefnllv sup
pressed.
Some belles and leaders of fashion yet re
tain tlie long sweeping trail and medium
waist, a coniproriiise between long nnd short.
Tiie reasonable short dress is much the clean
liest and most attractive style I have met
with. By it the feet, and neatness and ele
gance of a lady’s walking apparatus, aye px
pftnded, and she secures immunity from the
rudeness pf persons staring in her face, and
finds that her feet absorb the attention Of the
“looker on in Vienna.” This 'fashion avoids
that abominable and execrable business of
ladies sweeping the sidewalks and ruining
their fine dresses by gathering on the skirts
the filth and garbage that lie in the way of
the walker.
In. the parlor, looped shirts arc contempti
ble. The use of them there indicates on the
part of.the wearer,a desire for immodest dis.
play. To permit the use of the looped skirt
onthe street ond to let clown the same in the
bouse, a contrivance is used consisting of a
series of cords that lie under the dress and
have hooks or some means by which to fast
en into the skirt. When the cords arc drawn
up about tlie waist and tied together or fast
ened in some safe, manner, the loops are
drawn regularly and properly. When the
rigging is loosed the skirt can be easily
smoothed down. Many of the wearers loop
up in.such a way that a number of triangu
lar-pockets are formed. I imagine ‘ they
would be good hiding places for stolen arti
cles] extra under clothes and the like. A
most horrible fashion of head dress and bon
net prevails. The present conceit now in use
for hair dressing is to reach high up in front,
and turn over a puff. The style makes the
wearer seem to have a very high back head
but very Roping and unnatural, in truth an
idiotic looking forehead.
The new bonnet is called the empire. It
is very difficult to make, more difficult to ad
just nnd makes a pretty woman appear hide
ous even though it be well adjusted. The
pretty head gear of-the past season was much
neater and more Beautiful. The fashion ma
kers learned that they were too easily made
mid allowed opportunity to every lady to ex-
ercise’her own ingenuity in devising the Va
riety'of patterns we meet with. Feeling that
their occupation was endangered, they have
invested and put forth the miserable and dif
ficult and detestable and : frightful empire.
It requires an entire new style of trimming,
and veils. ‘The 1 fashion of the latter lias been

A SECOND SALLIE ANN.
Avousty, Geougie, |
Septembur Twenty(8th, 1865. f!
Misltir Editvr:—I notised in yore jurnal,
of sum da’s ago, that a inderyidgal callin of
hurself “Sally Ann" is a ritin to you from
Milligville. the capitol of Gorgie, mid former
residence of a good merrny foalx. T like her
letter much, though slit- dilates konsiderablv
on a subject i don’t noe nothin about. For
instanse, she is in favurof longseshuns.of.the
legislatur,' so as that them thare Milligville
lady's can flirt tlie servants of the people.
Now, I was never there in my l ie,'and I don't
noo that I ever shall be, unless I be' so fortu
nate as to cetch a legislator—or, in other
words, marry a man that goes there. 1 cum
nigh bein there wunce ; that is, a Lend of
mine cum thru there with his eump.my just
atore the fall of the Confe<\racyJ and if.my
metn’ry serves me rite, he went back agin.
As to enny thiiSg fuffWr; 'deponent seth not,
except that I wus interduced to Mistiir Johns
son, out gtcrergnj^ when lie went thru here,
at the depo. but he whs so hisily engaged’
etin peeches that he coodn’t fine time fo talk
to me much.
I consented to be interduced to him, be-
kaus I feel sicb a’deep interest in tlie welfair
of the State. I had sevral valuable sugges
tions to make to his excelency. which if acqui
esced in wood doubtless rase him to thehiest
standard of Ameriken statesmanship, and
rite his name, with a brasen pen, on the tallest
of marlin], whose imperishable glory sliood
hem with a brighter lustre and a more expan-
siv eft'ulgense than ever beaihed from the
thrillin grandure of a bernin prary-. Aye
more, they who shood cum after him shood
pint at his pictur, and say, in tlie languidge
of the immortal bard.
“There he is!” ,
And in this connecshun I may say, tliat
grate activity pervales in this 'city,' and of
marrages there is not a fe.tv. Every body, ia
merry even to Mr. Brad Merry, who is clerko
at Mr. Litener’s brekfast house at Berzely on
theGorgy rale road, and who is always smi
lin.
The foax are given to serenades, they sei'e-'
nade newspapers here,that is the Constitushun-
alist, that grand old jurnel, which is ever
true and reliable, and every body, in yore part
country ought to take as also they ought , to
subscribe to the Telegraff, too ; for it is good
shore. If they did they wood not lose the
unvaluble letters of the Sally Anns.
But I got astray. To cum ..back then, I
venture .the assertion, that if the Jadya in
Milledgeville are waring of water-falls, they
won’t stan much chance to catch them- con-
venslmn foax. They are every whur opposed
to books of fashuns, and say the wimmin lmv
too many strange iashuhs ennyhow. The
stingy cretures! If I ever get a husband, the
dear man, I’m goin to be rite cxenOmical.—
I’ll teech wimtuin and men a lesson; indeed
r win.
By the way, I'm glad to observe- ; that our
sect is gettin all rite. , It has not lieen- long

“ Ah, that’s quite a different question;”;

to know, who was it?”

On the morning of the 27th ult., says
the Savannah Herald, the fine first class side-
wheel steamship Raleigh, of the Atlantic
coast mail steamship line, arrived’ at the Sa
vannah wharf. The Herald adds: The event
of thi9 steamship at Savannah marks an epoch
in the revival of the business relations, with
tlie North which this city sustained before'
the war. Hitherto none but small screw
steamers, with one or two exceptions, have
been placed on die various lines between Sa
vannah nnd New York, these being deemed
sufficient to meet the requirements of tlie
trade. But the steady nnd eliearing improve
ment in business has warranted the establish
ment of a line of first class side-wheel steam
ships. of which the Raleigh 'is the first’ nrri-'
Val at this port.

says: Among the passengers by the steamer

and formerly weathly family in Southern
