General Amnesty.
An article upon thtM'sJaj^j taken
from a leading Republican paper,
•which ' we“ •'ciifpish-to?da^, ,: epibodies
some wholesonie truths, which it would
be well fir tSe embodied wisdom of the
country in }f asirihgton pity who make
lavte'fo't ibe : government of 1 the Hfepiib-
lic, to consider well; and tHereb^V shape
their future' action in legislating, for
the restoration of harmony, the If |”
ervation of peace, and the prosperity
of the government, as well as the pros
perity of the people.
African slavery; the great cause of
inte^n^ "discord : for moFe than thirty
having,-Vs a necessary sequence of our
terrible foul’ years war, been abolished,
&nd'tji'e South'hiving acquiesced in its
abolition, althoughit despoiled her of
thousands of millions of doll ars.yet slave
ry being forever abolished (and we know
6f not one sensible Southern man who
would have it restored) what is there
now to disturb the peaceful relations
which should exist, between the differ
ent sections of this great country ? If
we are one people, th6 South is equally
interest'ed in the good government of
the country, and we think the policy
Adopted hj^'the government of the Uni
ted States, towards the States compri
sing the late' Southern' Confederacy—
was most unfortunate, if the object de
sired Was the restoration of harmony
between the ’two sections so lately at
war. 'We'say inokt Unfbftunate, because
after five years of Congressional Be—
cohistrtife'tioh during which the South
ern SMit'68' hav$‘ been as clay in ‘ the
hands of. the Potter. We seem to be
as far from the peace ind harmony

Strange very strange! Georgia has
Been forced to abolish slavery, to' repu
diate her sacred obligations ' to her
Southern creditors—to 'admit to the sa
cred privilege of the elective franchise
her late slaves. She has been placed
under military rule—a straiiger ri6t the.

If Congress and the President desire
to harmonize the country and, restore
peace, would it not be well to change
the programme a little ? would it'nb.t
be wellj-by^indnessarid cdhciliatibn. to
endeavor to Tan into a flame the little
spark of kind'feeling smouldering away
down in Southern "bearts, and which
once extinguished can never again be
Restored? We think so, at'all’events
it would be worth the trial,'' and we
boldly saythat* were this fo become
the pdlicy of Government, more would
be effected in three months, in restoring
peace and harmony, than five years of
hostile legislation has accomplished.
We do not propose to discuss this
very delicatfe subject. The love' of the
beautiful is perhaps innate, and if “a
thing of beauty, is a joy forever,” how
natural and excusable, the desire to
please by personal addrhment. A.nd
•Jvhile, our ^asnipns are'* designed and
Regulated by a cultivated and; Correct
taste, We not only see little Objectiona
ble but,' mii'Oh' "to commend, "and we
think good taste'Would suggest confor
mity to them.
Unfortunately for us poor mortals,
fasbioh 'is aflckle silly'‘goddess, and in
stead bf ‘ being cohfrbfied by good sense
she rushes into the most ridiculous ex
cesses. And proposing to atfbrnj she ab
solutely deforms with hefl devilish en
ginery the “Human Form Divine.”—
And alas for us'p’obr mbrtals—no fash
ion ib iso-absurd, so ridiculous, so revolt
ing to gbod taste but will find some to
follow it" 'Ij&sfeiftjvb' ^rediad ljlend,”
found an occasional admirer, and r a pro
jecting Hump over'’the sacrbtn, which
if natural would have made its unfor
tunate possessor an object "of sympa
thy and condolence on account of the
deformity—was actually worn to give
gjrace and beauty to the form.
- ’ Another outrage on gooil taste is the
mulatto Fri?^ ot style L’Afrique of hair
dressing. That any sensible white woman
could have ever adopted this style
which reflects disgracefully upon her
own race, is astonishing. We met sev
Oral well dressed females in Savannah
whose complexion indicated pure An
glo Saxon or Caucasian blood, but the
Wir had an umnisUkeable African fris
not mulattos, we
thought they ought to be. The blhid.d
enthusiast;' who in his hatred of Divine
Revelation, ignores all the grave les
sons of history, and seeing in'the Afri
can, a superior race, would essay to
elevate and enndble Humanity by a
wholesale amalgamation of races, has
excuse for adopting the L’Africjue styje,
but that any Southern lady should^ do
so.' But we can’t do justice to the sub
ject.
Travelers tell us that the Abyssian
woman, (or some other African) in or—
der to beautify and- render her person
more fascinating—saturates her long
wool wi’th % : elfecl sheep’s fat and gath
ers ‘it into* a’mignificent chignon'oh the
back df. Het : Head the larger and weight-
iei* thechignori, the more exalted the
cliiitns of the wearer to fashionable dis
tinction.
We little thought when we read the
account of this fashion, in a book of
English travel, that a fushioh, so ab
surd, so ridiculous, so senseless, would
ever find advocates or imitators here,
or that women of intelligence and re_
finement, would deform their heads by
such unsightly and burdensome appen
dages.
It is true that the mutton suet is
wanting in the hair dressing of our
fashionable bel’eu. But the substitute
of horse hair, cow hair and hair taken
from the graves, we cannot think any
great improvement. But Heaven bless
the women, in spite of all their femin
ine imperfections they are the best half
of the race—and dress as they may,
they know the men will love them.

The Jew.—Happily for tne country

judices against the Jews, in the midst
of intelligent communities, are no long

highest offiees in both the French and

by one of our recent Eurof eati tele

: ‘\Ve do not remember to have heard,

The eagerness with wliieh ail Americans who can

Indeed, this is not to be wondered at. for all j.laecs
in the world-, Paris offers the greatest attractionslu
the lover of pleasure, and what people love pleasure
so well as our own countrymen ? This most inter
esting of eities displays to the novice its enchant-
merits in two aspects so widely different, thi:
the authod shows us Paris in two different j.hases—
"By Sunlight” and “By Gaslight.” The quantity
of serious add veritable history presented hr this
work, as connected with the various objects of inter
est in Paris,ids immense. That of the Palace? ani
other public, buildings is exhaustive and compkti.
