Writing of the fashions, the Paris corres
pondent of the New York Journal of ComJ
tncrcc says
“The bonnet is tlio great difficulty; the
article styled by that name is so eccentric, so
little adapted for its use, that quiet people
arc wondering with what they can cover their
heads this spring, no milliner being found
who is willing to hazard her reputation by
making a bonnet with front, sides or crown
So that my readers may not suppose that
am either 'inventing or exaggerating, I give
them a description of the. several bonnets
worn by women of fashion at the open
ing of the spring races. There arc differ
ent styles now worn, the Palmela, the
Louis XV, the Fanchon and the Marie
Antoinette or Lamballc. The latter style
has the sides rounded like a hat, with the
narrow curtain forming two plaits on
each side of the neck. The one I copy is of
fine worked straw, with a wreath of spring
flowers passing round the front; and above
the curtain, about an inch and a half around
the edge, there are gauze lappets that float,
and a benoiton (or garland of flowers) that
pass under the chin and fastens the lamballc
on the head, replacing strings. The palmela
is of pale blue crape, edged with a narrow
blue fringe, each strand of which terminates
with a silver bead; silver stars surround the
bonnet, and at the top there is a circle of
split feathers, with a large silver star in its
'center; the strings have a trimming like that
round tho edge of the bonnet. 1 have seen
this bonnet in black tulle, gold beads and
gold star being substituted for the silver or
naments. The fanchon is made entirely of
flowers. One having the foundation of ma-
line crape is covered with wreaths of corn
flowers or forget-me-nots. A beno ton of
flowers is invariably Added above tho strings,
for the fanchon bonnet has strings.
“Extremes meet, so I will adtf a word of
advice upon the casing of pretty feet The
stockings should be of colored silk of the
softest hues, especially pearl gray and azure
blue. The boots are of black satin or of
black kid, ornamented with mother of
pearl buckles aud have gilt heels;
pearl gray poplin with silver heels _ are
also the vogue; they are fastened with silver
buttons and stitched in nn ornamental style,
with cherry silk at the top fastening;, there
are cherry silk tassels When the satin boot
is laced, tho lacet should be of gold cord to
match the heel.”
A Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American writes:
“Dresses are made very long for evening
tpilettes, the trains differing trom those of
tho early part of the winter by being
more pointed at the back; these are called
queuees a la comete ! It is said that crinolines
are out of fashion; and so they arc for even
ing wear, when an empire toilette is adopted.
But in the street, and for morning dress, they
arc still used, though smaller in shape and
quite flat at the hips. The ladies who wear
none in the evening, and have dresses gored
without one pleat in front, with the long
sharp train at the back, look very much like
they were cased in a sheath; but still, as that
is the newest mode, it is thought charming!
With this stylo, a short waist, very much
decoUette, and a mere puffing of a net
or sleeves, are necessary accompaniments.
“Short dresses are spoken of as likely to be
adopted for this summer; meanwhile those
in spring materials are still made to loop np,
aud often looped up over a lower skirt of tue
same materials,made to similiate a petticoat.
The style is pretty for walking costume, and
the ma'terials coming out daily for these are
pretty and various. Sultanes, a shining mo-
1 lair, and a great variety, plain and In stripes,
are exhibited in all the shop fronts. . Loose
and half fitting paletots in fancy materials arc
still worn, and vests and jackets for the house
are very fanciful and pretty, trimmed with
cluny lace, grelots in jet, crystial, and even
gold and silver.
“Stripes are likely to be the fashibn, both
employment. The new order is that of peace.
Fora time the finest thing that Lee could do
was to set an example of valor and virtue to
the whole manhood of the South; but not
lr-- pure is the glory of one who. I>y honest
and patient labor, prepares the young for that
longer conflict which fills the whole length
and breadth of human life.

Wirr Spain Makes War on Caili.—The
quarrel between Spain and Chili is explained
by the New York Commercicl Advertiser as
follows:
A brief glance at the rise and progress of
this struggle will enable us to more clearly
comprehend the present situation. In the
month of March, 1864, the Peruvian Govern
ment became involved with Spain in regard
to certain questions arising out of claims of
Spanish residents against Peru. A local dis
pute had arisen at Talambo between some
Pemvinn land ownerS and Spanish colonists,
in which two persons were killed and four
w ounded. The Pemvinn Courts at once pro
ceeded to investigate tlic matter, but the
Spanish Government, evidently in search of a
pretext, interfered in tho case while the in
vestigation was going on, and ultimately
seized Chincha Island.
Insolent demands were acceded to by the
Government, but the indignant people over
threw the Government, and when the new
President did not act with sufficient celerity
in wiping out the disgrace, they overthrew
him too, and elected to power the present in
cumbent, who signalized his advent by declar
ing war forthwith against the invader and
joining in an alliance with Chili. The latter
had early in the controversy shown strong
sympathy for Peru, nllowing, among other
acts, the Peruvian war ships to receive coal
and enlist men in Valparaiso, while coal was
refused to the Spanish vessels, because it had
been declared contraband of war.
The Spaniards were, therefore, indignnnt
at the Chillians, and as soon as the Peruvians
had acquised in thc-ir urgent demands, they
turned their attention to the former, expect
ing that they would “knuckle under" with
out ceremony. On the 17th of September,
1863, Admiral Pareja dispatched a long com
munication front on board his flagship to the
Chi Ilian minister,-in which he complained of
the partiality in tbe matter of supplying coal
to the Peruvians, and further, that insulting
cries and threat against Spain were permitted
with impunity, in front of the residence in
Valparaiso, of the Spanish Legation.
Admiral Pareja then proceeded to say that
unless the Chilians apologized for these acts,
and “one of the forts of the republic saluted
the Spanish ensign with a s ilvo of twenty-one
guns,” war at once would be declared. The
Mgli-spirited Chilians at onccspumcd these in
solent demands and forthwith proceeded with
great enthusiasm to prepare for a straggle
with Spain. Though n blockade was imme
diately established. Admiral Pareja vvns ut
terly unable to make it effective; and finally,
when a squad of daring Chilian sailors cap
tured tbe Covadonga, he was so mortified
and chagrined that be ended his life with a
Deringcr.
Old Letters.—Never burn kindly written
letters; it is so pleasant to read them over
when the ink is brown, the paper yellow with
age, and the hands that traced the friendly
words be folded over the hearts that prompt
ed them, under tbe green sod. Above all, nev
er bum love letters. To read them in after
years is like a resurrection to one's youth.—
The elderly spinster finds in the impassioned
offer she foolishly rejected twenty years ago
a fountain of rejuvenescence. Glancing, over
it, she realizes that she was once a belle _ and
a beauty, and beholds her former self in a
mirror much more congenial to her taste than
the one that confronts her in her dressing-
room.
The “widow indeed” derives a sweet and
solemn consolation from the letters of the
beloved one, who has journeyed before her
to tho far off land, from which there comes no
message, and where she hopes one day to
join him. No photographs can so vividly
recall to the memory of the mother the ten
derness and devotion of tbe children who
have left at the call of Heaven, as the episto
lary outpourings of their love. The letter of
a true son or daughter to a true mother is
something better than an image of the fea
tures ; it is a retlex of tbe writer’s soul.—
Keep all loving letters. Burn only tbe harsh
ones; and in burning them forgive nnd for
get them.
Compliment to General Lee.
From the London Daily Telegraph.
At Lexington, in the State of Virginia, is
a college which bears the name of tho most
illustrious citizen ever bom in the Old Do-
raiuion, fertile os that pleasant land has been
in heroes; nor could George Washington him
self have wished that the college erected in
his honor would have for President a worthier
chief than the one who quietly entered upon
his duties, just a fortnight ago. The new
President is still in the prime of manhood,
though already his hair and beard are grey;
he has been long accustomed to command;
he is familiar with hardships as with fame—
has slept for months amid the woods of Vir
ginia, and has crossed the Rappahannock
northward at tho bead of a victorious army;
he has been proven alike by good and evil
fortune, and, whether when threatening the
Federal capital, or when surrendering his
sword to a Federal Captain, he has ever borne
himself as beseemed a man bom alike by an
cestry aud by nature. The descendant of
“Light Horse Harry” has doffed the grey uni
form for the garb of a peaceful professor; nor
can we own That the change is a degradation,
even for Robert Lee.
There is a difference in thismode of action,
but no alteration in the object, which is sim
ply to render the best service he can to hts
native State. To that single aim he has
never once been unfaithful; and ho will still
E ursuc it, we may rest assured, with the old
igh enthusiasm tempered by a cautious
brain. Throughout the war nothing was
more remarkable than Lee’s personal influ
ence—in the manner in wltich he impressed
every one who approached him. That men,
with Jackson’s purity and earnestness, or
with the debonnaire and graceful valor of Stu
art, should appreciate tho illustrious quali
ties of their leader, was only natural; but
even the humblest soldiers in the ranks felt,
though they might not have been ablo to ex
press the moral power which Lee exerted.—
The war was, in all conscience, sanguinary
enough, but there would have been a carni
val of carnage, a devilish outbreak of all
men’s fiercest passions had the Southern leader
been of a different temper.
Gallantly as the Confederates fought, we
must never forget their armies were composed
of somewhat questionable raw material; that
the volunteers with all the instinct of bravery
which seldom deserts a dominant class, had
likewise many of tho vices which are inevit
ably engendered by tlio possession of arbitra
ry power. Accustomed to the unchecked li
cense of authority, the slaveholders might per
chance have been ready enough to give the
war a character of internecine hatred; and it
was eminently due to Robert E. Lee that tbe
courage and humanities of civilized warfare
were on the whole, observed. The gentle
nature of the man never degenerated into
weakness; with a high hand he could restrain
excesses, and admirably did he exercise his
power. There are no purer pages In tbe his
tory of the civil war than those which relate
to his invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvrnia
at a time when the temper of the Southern
people was sorely tried.
Such qualities as he displayed could not
fail, in the long run, to win the regard of a
manly and affectionate people: and while we
find that he was loved like a father by all
those who shared his immediate perils, we
have not yet forgotten that when the victo
rious veterans ot the North were marching
home through Richmond, they burst into a
splendid shout ot enthusiasm as they recog
nized, gravely contemplating them from a
curtained window, the familiar form and face
of Robert E. Lee.
“The old order changes, giving place to
new. and God fulfils himself in many ways.”
To teach young lads their classics and mathe
matics may seem but a poor occupation for
one whose word was lately the supreme law
for a hundred thousand fighting’ men, and
yet there need be no sense ot humiliation in
volved in the deliberate acceptance ot such
SoIdicrM In West Tennessee.
Now that the bloody carnival lias passed
into history; now that tbe braves who have,
on either side, dedicated their lives to their
convictions of right, sleep with their fathers,
we can contemplate its long agony, and
draw from the goiy panorama lessons “profi
table for doctrine, lor reproof and instruc
tion,” as a nation and a peonle.
The people of tbe late belligerent sections
of the United States had no quarrel upon the
form ot their Government. It is well that all
mankind should be fully advised of the preg
nant fact. The American people are attached
to the principles of Constitutional liberty,
which were transmitted to them by the men
of’87.
Causes referable alone to the social estab
lishment of fifteen States of the Union, pro
duced the first quarrel, and out of these grew
other causes of dissension, which culminated,
at last, in the late terrible exhibition of evi
passions. Future ages will marvel, from gen
eration to generation, that a people blessed
with such a Constitution, with such a herit
age of historic gloiy; with a soil and climate
for which the world furnishes no parallel, a
country gifted with all and every element of
material progress and individual happiness
prospering to a degree that seemed fabulous
to contemplate—and withal a very citadel of
fervid liberty, of high civilization nnd Chris
tian progress, should, in a single paroxysm of
anger, hatred and all uncharitableness, have
jeoparded their holy trust upon the chances
of a horrid civil war. And the marvel will
be none the less—that institutions dependent
upon the popular' breath should have gone
down into this dreadful maelstrom—and after
four long years, should have emerged again
unchanged, amid the changes of a changing
world, in all the essentials of constitutional
freedom. But such, we trust in God, will yet
prove the lessons taught by the annals of the
ast four years—and it remains with those of
us upon whom the holy trust has fallen, to
evoke from the chaos of revolution the profit
able admonition for the future, which it so
eloquently inculcates.
The traveler passing through the Southern
States of America, from the Potomac to tbe
Colorado, will scarcely penetrate a country
without treading upon the graves of the war
rior dead. Blood he will find upon the lin
tel of every door; suffering and lamentation
around every heartli-side; hunger in many a
cottage; desolation in many a hamlet. Such
are the trophies of inexorable war; such the
jewels with which Mars gems his red coronet,
and of which he is proudest.
Let us turn away from a scene so harrow
ing and so sad, and solve into practical value
the precepts it imparts. And prominent
among these is the fact that the American
people engaged in a gigantic and bloody war
of four years duration; marshalled armies
and developed military resources which
amazed all mankind; fought with a valor
and endurance unsurpassed in all the annals
of war, and suffered with a patience that
seemed to mock at famine and death itself—
not to destroy the fabric of Constitutional
liberty inherited from their fathers, but to
preserve and perpetuate, as it was interpreted
by the belligerents on each side of the line.
It was not a war to overturn the system of
government itself. It was a war of ideas; a
war of construction; a war of interpretation;
not a war to destroy, but a war to vindicate.
The North and tlic South had quarreled for a
quarter of a century about a labor system,
once common to both, but, of late years, pe
culiar to the South; and upon this question
the people of the North were themselves di
vided into three parties. One was for letting
it alone, another for confining it within a cer
tain territorial area. and*yct another for its
total extinction. The labor system was pro
tected by the old charter of their fathers,
which each recognized as a fundamental Jaw
unto eacb. The evil passions of men had,
however, sought out ingenious inventions to
evade the guarantees of the old charter. It
was proclaimed that there was a jus excelsior,
of more dignity and authority than the lex
scripta itself.
One of the great parties was marshalled up
on this device to vindicate, by dominant ma
jorities, the value of this new and startling
theory. This doctrine was promulgated in
the South, claiming its paternity in the fun
damental law and the expositions of the fa
thers of the Government, that the States of
the South might dissolve their connection
with the Union; and that this was a rightful
and peaceful remedy for the grievances of
which they complained.
The North believed the Union of the States
to be legally in issolublc. Many of the peo
ple of the South have been educated in a con
trary lielief. This antagonism of ideas touch
ing the Union of the States; this labor system,
which lias furnished raiment to half of man
kind, and has advanced millions of semi-
bathnrians to a high and hopeful state of
Christian civilization. These were the issues
fairly and voluntarily staked upon the result
of the impending conflict. The North was
powerful and determined. The South was
weak but resolute. The contest was unequal.
But for four years it was grandly maintained,
with such alternations of gloom and glory on
either side, as to render the result a question
of doubt with tbe most philosophic minds.—
Tho South was overpowered. Her people
emerged from the red arena, and looked into
the faces of their late enemies with the same
unblnnclicd manhood with which they en
tered it, and the emotions with which they
contemplated them might be interpreted in
words:
“You were but yesterday our enemies;
henceforth we must lie friends. A warrior
race ourselves, we can but admire tbe valor
with which you defended tlio flag of our first
love, and vindicated, in the cannon’s mouth,
the integrity of the Union. Your interpre
tation of tho old charter has prevailed. We
freely yield you tlic fruits ot your triumph.
We sought not to destroy constitutional iib-
eriy—but to maintain it, as we understood it
The questions at issue between us are now
res itdjpdicuta. Let them never disturb our
Union again. Look upon this parchment.—
It is the written Constitution, upon which we
sought to establish a separate nationality.—
Contemplate ail its sanctions, and tell us
wherein it differs in all the fundamental guar
antees of popular liberty from the old charter
of our fathers. Tell it not, then, to future
generations, that wo have madly compassed
the death of constitutional liberty, as it Was
inherited from the brave old pioneers of ’87.
Wo sought not your destruction. We wished
you no harm. We did not desire war. Ma
ny of us believed that war would destroy our
labor system, and overwhelm our people in
rain. War was precipitated by events.—
Events were precipitated by sudden human
passions, incident to liumnn frailty. The war
itself is now incorporate os part and parcel of
our common history. Its gloom is a part of
the birthright of each. If it has generated
evil passions; if it has been characterized by
a spirit of ferocity and blood-thirst unprece
dented; if it has been attended with outrage,
and crime, anti horror; such is ever the fa
vorite ally of the war-god, and such the com
mon companion of civil war.
. In reckoning our accounts as a commmu-
nity of political brethren, preliminary to a
perpetual peace and union, let us throw tbe
mantle of oblivion over tbe horrid memories
of the past four years. With the hurried
past let the olympiad of blood be buried.—
Let its common glories survive, but let its
common horrors perish from the memories of
men. We stood against you with our.best
manhood, and rivers of Southern blood at
test the sincerity of our conviction of right.
We yielded to a development of military
power which might have defied the world in
arms. Wc saw your star-lit flag waving tri
umphantly over your country’s cohorts in ev
ery county and every hamlet of our desolat
ed land ; and then, and not till then, we said
to our own weary color guards:
“Take that banner down. ’Tis tattered •
Broken in its stall—and shattered; ’
And the valient hosts arc scattered
Over whom it floated high.
Oh! ’tis hard for ns to fold it;
Hard to think there’s none to hold it;
Hard that those who once unrolled it
Now must furl it with a sigh.”
“But when wc entered the bloody tourna
ment with you, under a solemn compact that
the union of tho States and the existence of
*our labor system were the issues to be deter
mined by the arbitrament of the sword—we
did it in good faith—and entered with
knightly honor, to abide by the award.—
When we said wc would yield the contest, we
meant what we said. Yo'u required of us to
lay down our arms and submit to the Consti
tution of our fathers, upon your interpreta
tion of it. We have done so, and with no
craven spirit, but as a matter of honorable
obligation—without condition and without
mental reservation. You have obtained, as
the fruit of your triumph, what you have so
long desired—the utter extinction of African
slavery within the limits of the United States.
It had its blessing' and its benefits, but it had
its abuses also. It has gone down to the
grave never to be revived again. You have
vindicated the integrity of the union of
States. Wc accept the result and murmur
not, for in all these stupendous events wc re
cognize the hand of an all-pervading God,
who ‘doetli all things well.’ And if, in the
full flush of triumph, and in the plentitude of
your power, you will vouchsafe to us in full
fruition the Union and the Constitution of
our fathers we will henceforth hallow, as
household words, the sentiment, ‘Liberty
and Union—now and forever—one and in
separable.’
What now is necessary to give fresh im
pulse to ournational prosperity ? Peace, con
cord and forbearance. The great issues of the
war are yours. 3fake no more exactions. We
have bled enough. Wc have suffered enough.
The genius of constitutional liberty has sur
vived the awful shock of civil war. In God’s
name put it not upon another trial. Come,
lend us your aid and your prayers in gather
ing up tiie disjecta membra of a once harmo
nious Government, now lying like the frag
ments of a glorious mirror scattered around
us. Go with us to one of our gory battle
fields. The very earth is consecrated by tlie
mingled blood and bones of the Northman
and Soutliman, eacb of whom died in defense
of his own ideas of constitutional leberty.—
Remove that little mound of earth: behold
there the Uniform of the “Union blue” and
the “butternut,” both moldering in a com
mon decay, There did they fight—these too
gallant martyrs of opinion—there they fell,
and thus they were shrouded. In life ene
mies. In death, friends inseparable. Tnink
you that, if thc^p two brave American sol
diers were “instinct with life,” they would
cheerisli an instant’s feeling of envy or malice
against each other ?
Such an emotion ia repugnant to the spirit
of a brave soldier—and the blessings of peace,
amity and real union in this.unhappy country,
must come at least through the noble in
fluence of those brave men who have imperil
ed their lives in this war. Let us, then, have
real peace. Let us gather up the glories which
each army has achieved, and perpetuate them
as a common heritage. If wc are to be one
people, they are a common heritage. The
glory of each is the common property of all.

Terrible Tornado in Mississippi.
In the Meridian (Miss.) Messenger of the
lath instant, we find tbe following letter from
resident of tbe southern portion of Clarke
county, Miss.:
On Tuesday evening, the 1st inst., we were
visited by one of tlie greatest wind and hail
storms, probably, that ever passed through
this or any other country. I have a right to
know a little more than some about it, being
out and in it. I had a wagon and team of
oxen, nnd, fortunately for me, I was caught in
a old field where there was no timber; and
I only saved myself then by protection under
the wagon. The hail was larger than I ever
saw before. I have frequently heard tell of
hail being as large as a hen’s egg, but never
saw any until this time. One struck me on
the cheek-bone, and brought blood.
The hail was drifted in piles some places
two and three feet deep, and remained on the
ground until the next Saturday morning.-
I Ye had ice water all the time. I never saw
such destruction before. • The-eountry around
where it passed looks as if tl.urc had been a
severe frost—all the leaves were beat off
by the hail; it took the bark off of fruit
trees and other small growth. The large
pines have signs on them as if you had hit
them with the hammer, and dented all over.
As to gardens nnd vegetables there are none.
The falling of the timber killed a great deal
of stock. As to poultry, the hail killed
nearly all; in fact, all the small tribe were in
a shy way. I saw turkeys, chicking, rabbits,
squirrels and young pigs, two or three weeks
old, killed. In fact, I do not see how any
thing escaped that was out without some
protection.
I had a man farming with me by the name
of Salem Newton. He had lately married at
or near Meridian ; his house blew down and
killed his wife instantly. Nearly all the
houses that were not blown down were un
roofed. Very little timber remains standing.
The crops are utterly destroyed, both corn
and cotton. Some farmers will not be able
to procure cotton seed to plant again. The
crops in this county were never so gloomy,
and the rain continues to fall every day.—
Those who have bottom land will not be able
to work in it for a week or more, even if the
raiu was to stop now. Those that have to
plant over will not be able to put seed in the
ground until about the 20th inst. That will
put the crop very backward and nothing but
a lace fall will insuro even a ball yield with
tho prospects now ahead.
Rumored Defalcation.—The Boston
Traveler says of the Hon. Isaac Newton, who
presides over the Agricultural Bureau, and
whose scientific attainments arc well known:
“It is charged that Commissioner Newton,
of tlie Agricultural Department, has keen
guilty of fraud, of misappropriation of pub
lic money, of keeping fictitious names on the
pay rolls of his Bureau, and putting tbe
money paid out for them into his own pock
et ; of renting needless buildings ot govern
ment expense and for his own benefit.
The Crops in West Florida.—The Ma
rianna Courier says that in consequence of
the failure of the cotton seed to germinate,
in many instances, in that county, the plan
ters, for want of fresh seed, have planted
land in corn they had designed for cotton.—
The weather, it says, has not this season been
propitious in obtaining a good stand of cot
ton, and thus far the hopes of the fanner aro
lingering on the tide of successful experiment.
The stand of corn is good, and the plant looks
well.
