Haro Ladies any Limbs ? When a Spanish courtier of the olden time undertook to. pay what he supposed would be a compliment to his Queen| by referring to her pretty feet, he was reproved by this answer: “The Queen of Spain has no feet.” A wo man es gentle birth, of wealth or posi tion, was supposed to consist of a head, arms and neck, and below that —noth- ing but a dress. This was tlio law of polite society; the lower orders might have a body and ordinary members, hut a lady owed the larger part of her person to the milliner. These were 'the days of splendid, superb and im posing trains. From the waist, which was pushed up as near to the armpits Its possible, the dresfe' swept in one graceful curve, and Jong, full, deep folds, until it drew its vast length along, the ground. \Voman, true to her higher nature as developed under the fostering influence of wealth, sacrificed her person to her covering, she gave np her feet, her ankles, her other i charms .that the male sex admire, to the pleasure of obtaining her fellow women, in adornment. The existence of trains forbade a thought of the ex> istcnco of anything beneath them.— Several years ago, our ladies—for here wc have no lower orders of the gentle sex —wore the same dress and submit ted to the same privation. True to American progrcssfivcnCss, they car' ried the rule even farther, and permit' ted no legs'to men, tables, or even tri angles—the' first two being only al lowed limbs, and the latter sides. This state of affairs wauld probably have existed to the present day had net fashion come to the aid of anatomy and decreed “looped-up skirts.” Fash, ion effected hoi; .Change ingeniously, yet firmly. She first introduced the balmoral, witn its brilliant red cloth, the delight of the feminine heart; then she ornamented it till tho femi nine heart was crazy to show it to the world ; then she arranged strings and cords by which the outer dress might: be raised, just a little, and the beauti ful color and exquisite trimming be. low exhibited. Thus was the work accomplished, and the men found out that women had feet, some of which were pretty and some not. What is prettier than a pretty foot ? What more captivating than a dear : little boot covering a high instep, and coming down neatly over the toes,! with a bewitching tassel dangling at the top of the close.lacing? In noth' ing is aristocracy so marked as in the: pedal extremity ; the thin nostril, the long fingers, the narrow palm, are evi dences of gentle blood, hut far less, so than the round ankle, the high in- - step and the hollow beneath, through which as the high-bred Arab says, a stream of water should be able to flow while tho possessor is standing. Tho flat, spray foot,, on the contrary, as surely tells of want cf pedigreo as its misshapen excresenccs, its corns and bunions drive away affection. The horse snows the purity oi ms extrac tion by clean limbs, neat posture and small hoof; and the same result is no> ticeable, more or less, in all animals. Man falls in lovo as readily with a se ductivo foot as with an attractive face, he finds it in a thousand expressive movemonts; its firm tread speaks of a decided character; its quick step dc notes anger; its elasticity of motion, assures him of liveliness and good hu mor; its hasty tread denotes itupa tience ; its subtlo glide signifies cun ning ; while the quiet but marked footfall guarantees him an affectionate disposition. Tho face often deceives with an alluring smile ; it is taught or trained by design or habit; its open ness i3 guarded and confined ; but the foot speaks its own language, unre strained and untutored; and the male sex owe a debt of gratitude to fashion for giving back honest feet to tho fu. turc adorers of human existence. The “ looped shirt’’lasted for a time to man’s great satisfaction and improve ment, and finally, though a vagary ol a queen goddess (whose object ever ap pears to see to what, new extravagances she can carry things,) was superseded by a contrivance that began to suggest the possibility of women having some thing besides drcsß above their ankles. So far, a visible foot, which alone vouch safed ; but the new arrangement —tho tilting hoop—disclosed matters that raised the question propounded in this article, ’filters have at least settled one question : that American women for wo repel all suggestions of ficti tious improvement by tlie surreptitious aid of art —have the prettiest l'eet, the neatest ankles, and the most graceful forms of their sex ; and if not devcl. oped like the Dutch beauties of our ancestors, possess tho characteristics of the high-bred horse, 'filters, how ever, had but a short day ; fashion could allow man but a momentary glance at the mysteries not intended for his gaze, and blotted them out with the long train she had onee loved and abandoned. Skirts, ankles, feet, and what not have disappeared, and woman has once more become head, arms and dress! Three yards or five yards, we do not know where to commence meas uring—constitute tho proportions of a train necessary to respectability and to the retention of a place in society, and henceforth we suppose v.c must bow to the law—except, perhaps, on the skating pond—that “ the Queen of Spain has no feet,” and, with sincere regret, answer the question propoun ded at the head of this article in a de cided negative. Gentlemen ! You have heard the resolution: All in favor of affirming that ladies have limbs will please say “Aye.” [Dead silence.j Tho con. trary, “No 1 ” [Universal shouts of “Narylimb !”] Gentlemen, the Noes have it, and this caucus will now ad journ, to sit upon the question of che misettes and balmoral skirts at the earliest practicable day, subject to the call of our honored Chairman.—A’eio York Citizen. SEMI-WEEKLY JSmitten (Enterprise L. C. BRYAN, : : : : Editor. THOMASVILLE, GA.: FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 18G7. SCARCITY OP LABORERS. Tho cry of uppef Georgia has reach ed this section of tho State, and a seri ous apprehension prevails that many of our rich plantations will not bo culti vated this year for the want of farm laborers. Large numbers of tho Freed men'in the lower part of tho County have been persuaded to go to East Florida and other points, arid many farms that wore well cultivated lust year, must now be abandoned, or only cultivated in part. There seems to he a regular negro exodus Westward, from all accounts, and the agents of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi planters arts to be met with in almost every section hiring hands for the rich bottoms of the Western rivers. TROUBLE IN THE COUNCIL. Many of the citizens having protest ed against the election by tho City Council, of Mr. John Spair, for Mar shal, that officer, who it seems, had given bond and been qualified, togeth er with tho Clerk and cotton weigher all resigned at tho last meeting of Council, and elections arc to be held at the next meeting. We trust a man may be found who will givo satisfae. tion to all parties. There are many respectable young men about town who would make efficient officers in that positon. MILITARY GONE. Thomasville is onco more evacuated by the United States forces, and the town is now restored to its usual quiet. About a dozen soldiers, attached to the Freedman’s Bureau, drinking and ca rousing, cursing and swearing, in the Court house, where they made their head quarters, have kept the town in an uproar for several months, and requir ed all the vigilance of tho authorities, to keep them in subordination. At last they received orders, and left on (lie train Wednesday morning. If it should ever be fouud necessary to send more soldiers here, wo sincerely hope a better class will bo selected. Rut there never will be any necessity fur soldiers to keep this community quiet as long as the civil authorities are' un trammeled, and not even then, if the citizens are left to themselves, EMIGRANTS FOR FLORIDA. Every few days, trains of carts, wa gons and other vehicles, pass through Thomasvillo on their way to “ the Flurdys," in search of now L„— Wo saw numbers of them last year on tho same road, but, tliore seemed also a small stream flowing in the direction of Alabama. Those two States appear to bo exchanging citizens. Our ex changes, from every quarter, s| calc of immense numbers of emigrants moving in various directions, but especially Westward. Memphis seems to ho their favorito place for crossing tho Mississippi. Tho war uprooted society in the South, and broke entirely up tho lovo of the pepplo for their old haunts— lienco tho general change of locality. Wo beliovo that not less than one-half the Southern white people have chang ed homes since the war, and about one-third of them have changed States. This shows a very unsettled state of tho Southern mind, consequent, per haps, upon the emancipation of tho slaves, and their want of confidence in the justice and magnanimity of the Government. They do not much care wliat happens, and many seek only to find support fur their families until the worst conics. They scarcely feel settled anywhere in thio country. A wholesome administration of tho Gov ernment would remedy this evil cm tirely, and wc hope the time is not far off, when this may be looked fur with a reasonable hope. CONTRIBUTIONS FOR HOLY WOOD CEMETERY. The young ladies, Miss Florie Jones, and Miss Sue I lan soli, who were appointed, by Mrs. Winship, agents for Thomas County, to solicit contributions for the care of the Con federate dead in Ilolywood Cemetery at Richmond, request us to stato, that up to date they hnvo received and for. warded, to tho President of tho soci °ty, four hundred and sixty dollars. Wc are also requested to notify those who promised but have not sent in their contributions, that the young ladies are very anxious to close up the matter and sincerely hono thoy will not be submitted to further delay. Thomas County lias done well in this good work, and tho young ladies who have managed tho affair, deserve great credit for tho energy they dis played. TISON & GORDON. In the Savannah Weekly Review and Prices Current, issued by the above firm, dated January IStli, we find a statement denying that either of them luivo been arrested by tho U. States Marshal, for treason, nor has their bu siness been stopped on any pretence whatever. On the contrary, they are still in their oid office (90 Ray Street) giving prompt attention to all business entrusted to them. In reference to the report that U. S. officers had con fiscated the property of several of the leading factors of Savannah, and closed their business, Messrs. Tisoti A Gor don deem it their duty to state that nothing of the kind has occurred, nor is it likely to occur. The firm of Tison & Gordon is one of the most substantial in the city of Savannah, and surpassed by none in the readiness and extent of their ac commodation. Long known in this section, as active and reliable business men, possessing large capital, they are fully appreciated aud extensively pat- < ronized. HISTORY OF THE BY ALEX. H. STEPEM^S. We have received a circular from the National Publishing Cq.mi'Jny of Richmond, Va., stating that they will, flft an early day, publish a History of Die lato War between the States — Tracing its Origin, Causes and Re sults, by Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens of Georgia. No history of the war would, perhaps, he better received by the Southern people, it docs, from one so well known, not only for his eminent abilities, but for bis sound and conservative political prim ciplcs; while no man in tho South would command more respect in the North. We shall look forward to the publication of this work with much in. tercst and pleasure, believing that no man living, and known to us, is so capable of giving us a fair and impar tial statement of tho Origin, Causes and Results ol the War, as Mr. Ste phens of Georgia. CANVASSING FOR PAT RONAGE. Wc did not mean to be “unkind to our brother of the Rainbridge ylr" gus, when we alluded to his resolution never more to be guilty of “ canvass' ing for patronage hut it seems that wc are lather unfortunate in expres sion. We do not think ourself entirely destitute of the “ milk of human kind ness,’’ but perhaps wo have never learned to make it fully appear in our words. Wo understand full well the difficulties which disqualify our cotem porary for the business of canvassing, and while wo deplore his misfortunes, ho has our deepest sympathy. He publishes an excellent paper, and is every way worthy of the confidence and liberal patronage he receives. NEGROES RESIST THE MILI- T ARY. The Savannah Herald of the 19th instant, gives an account of a difficulty between the negroes on Rack river and a detachment of the military from Fort Pulaski, who were sent to the Island for tho purpose of restoring the lands to the owners, and inducing the nci grocs, who have held possession of the Soa Islands since tho war, to make oonlraets. They not only refused to make contracts, hut claimed the lands us their own, and, under the leadership of one Bradley, a colored lawyer, ap peared in toroo, drilled, armed and cquippeu 'o UeAiuJ wnut tney deemeu their rights. Although the military were fifty strong, the officer in com mand deemed it prudent to withdraw, without accomplishing his object. EXTRAVAGANCE OF FASHION. Fashion, says Madam DoMorcst, in her Magazine for February,'“is now quite out of the reach of Ladies of modest ideas and incans ; all that thoy can do is to follow at a humble dis tance some of its forms; its costly de tails require a fortune.” It is a great shame upon the intol. ligonco of mankind that so much rci speetability is devoted to vanity and folly, while tho wasteful rxtruruganoo of Fashion is a terrible comment upon tho Christian Charity of tho world. — Many of these gorgeously dressed lea ders of fashion arc good members of churches, that, is to say, they go there, to patronize the minister, keep up their reputation as Christians and show their line clothes. Thus it is Christianity parades and squanders countless millions of wealth, while tho poor are suffering for bread. Wonder if there are any fashions in hrnrrn ? I ’crimps tlioso fashion Christians, will not have to give an account of their stewardship. WHY IIE DON'T ADVERTISE. A man in town don't advertise be cause, ho says, “the people in the country don’t read the papers.” Pid’nt lie know this was a libel upon the intelligence of our thrifty farmers in tho Country, and upon the very men to whom he expects to sell his “sheep groceries?” Os course ho did—and wo suspect tho true reason why ho is Opposed to advertisin':, is his conslitu timal parsimony, 110 belongs to the “penny wise and pound foolish ” class of individuals, whoso narrow mind is shut up so close with the sin of selfish" ness, that it never allows him to bo ben-fitted by the enlarged experience of better men. No doubt, lie thinks those Merchants are great fools, whose advertisements appear so largely dis played in cur columns, anj chuck 1 s in j liis conceit that he sores tho pennies they throw away. Well, let him on- ! joy his conceit and his penny —they j are about all ho does enjoy in this j world—wo sincerely hope he may be I enlightened in the next.

THE PEOPLE. United States, Jan. 8,1807. Young Bennett of Yacht Fame. Never was a youth more fairly forced iulo fame than James Gordon Rennett Jr., tho hero of the hour on both sides of the Atlantic. He had no more idea at first of making tho voy. age in 1 is own yacht than he had of importing ono of tlio pyramids as a cap-stone to the new Herald building. It is evon doubtful il he intended to cross in a steamer to witness the arri val of the racers. He hag lately as sumed the managing editorship of his father’s journal, and has made some radical changes in the personnel and exterior arrangements office, which would naturally require his own ini. mediate supervision, for a while at least. Exceedingly ambitious too, is Mr, Rennett, Jr., that, the absence of Mr. Hudson, so many years tlio ad mirable managing editor, should not be perceptible in the columns of the Herald. There was every reason why the new editor should remain at his post, and iu his character as a yachtman there was nothing very tempting in a mid-winter voyage, under canvass and over a two hundred ton keel, across the Atlantic. Rut as soon as the stakes were arranged, tho World, in several successive editorials, insisted that tho contestants, Rennett, Jr., in particular, should sail in their own yachts. The club took up the talk, greatly, it is to young Bennett's annoyance, and more than onco his re marks about the Woild, which was “trying to force him to sail in the Henrietta,” were anything but com plimentary. Well, the World forced him to sail; it started the tide of pub lic opinion which Rennett could not breast; so be gracefully yielded and be owes toiday bis wot Id wide reputa tion, not only for the race success but lor his own pluck in sailing across in his own yacht, to the world. lie is iu fact the latest New York lion. As ono walks down Broadway, Rennett, Jr., appears at every photo graph gallpvy door, and centering around tho picture at any hour, there is a group of enthusiastic talkers about tlio young man and about his yacht. Why, there is really serious talk now of making young Renr-ctt our next Mayor—only it is so much easier to run sueh a race, even as the Henri etta's, than to run for such an office in this city. And even cheaper. Ominous Heirs from Hu rope. — The Threatened Destruction of Turkey. — The Cable announcement that tho Turks, have made a levy of 150,000 troops to suppress the Greek revolt, confirms, says tho Now York Times, the previous news that tho insurrec. tion of the G reek Subjects of Turkey, which began in Crete, was spreading, and had broken out in several of the insular dependencies in the Archipel ago, as well as in Thcsasaly. In fact, the whole of the Greek subjects of the Sultan, as well as tho papulation ot the Greek kingdom itself, are thor oughly excited and aroused by their sympathy with the struggling Cretans, and it seems impossible to restrain them longer from taking part in the war against the Turks. Rut it is not only iu the Greek por tions of the Turkish Empire that the spirit of revolution is rife. Wc have a dispatch to-uay that an insurrection is on the point of breakii.g cut in the Province of Bosnia; and wo learn by the latest mail from Europe that Rom mania and Sorvia are preparing for the opportunity—which the present insurrectionary movements will give them—to shake off the last shadow of allegiance to the power that rules at Constantinople. In tact, in every part of European Turkey, and among a!] its Chris tain people, Sehvonian as well as Hellenic, there is an agitation which is too profound, and has already gone too far, an 1 covers too much sur face. to have any other ending than in such a war as will break and v n and smash up the tottering Turkish Em pire. Perpetual Session of Confess. Congress has passed a bill wijch provides that the next Congress shall convene on the 4th of March—the day on which the present term will expire. The object of this action is to prevent any intermission of Congressional au thority. The Constitution provides that the regular session shall commen ce on the first Monday in December, and without the special legislation re ferred to the new Congress could not come into power until that date, un less by the option of the President. — If the pressure of Congressional busi nesss were so great as to render its completion impossible before the 4th of March, there would be some justifi cation for the movement in question. Rut there is no such necessity, nor has the extraordinary session Icon urged upon that ground. Nearly two months of the present session remain, and in any ease the necessity l'or a continuance of legislation could not be foreseen ut this time. The manifest purpose of the Radi cals in making this provision is to tie the hands of the President during the interval that would occur during the expiration of the present Congress and the regular convention of the next one. It is to prevent the appointment of Administration men to important of flees, and to exercise suen other re straints upon the President as are within the power of Congress when in session. About tho cnly material ef fect of this proceeding will be to im pose a heavy bill of expenses on the Government. All of the trembers of the new Congress, excepting those who were re-elected, will be entitled to extra mileage, which, aside from the regular expenses of the session, will be a considerable item. The movement is particularly noticeable, however, as an illustration of the ex tent to which partisan spirit is carried by Congress. For the sake of annoy ing the President, the Radicals in that body do not hesitate to impose a need less expense upon tho people and to violate tho spirit of the Constitution. The Constitution provides a time for the meeting of Congress, and although there is nothing in that instrument to prohibit the appointment of an extra ordinary session, as has just been done, it infcrentially opposes such action from the fact that it empowers the President to convene Congress in case of necessity. In this proceeding the Radicals have been actuated solely by their enmity toward the President, and impartial people can place no oth er construction upon their conduct. — It is right and proper they should opr pose the policy of the President in any honorable and dignified manner, since thoy cannot agree with him ; but such exhibitions of spite and malice as that to which we have < lluded should not ho found in the Congress of the United States,—A 7 . Y. Sun. Qualities for a Wife. —The cor rcr-i-mi-lent, of u foreign journal s'lvcs some wholesome advice to would-bo-. Benedicks : How easy it is to detect in a young lady whether she possesses those quali ties which make a helping and devo ted wife. First look to the mother, and, in nine cases out of ten, you will be able to tell what the daughter is like to bo- Education is almost every, thing. If she goes out little, you may conclude that she is fond of her home and fully occupied there. If you find her house clean and orderly, the din ner well cooked and served punctually and nothing wanting, and no running about, it is all duo to the mother's good management. You will find her well dressed, but becomingly, tor a man is always willing to lay out a certain sum for liis wife’s apparel, as he would not like her to be tho least well dressed among her friends. You wi-1 find she keeps few servants, well knowing that the more servants there are in a placo tho more confusion and less work is done ; and, if you had come in an hour earlier, you might have seen her make that pudding you enjoyed so much.— She is esteemed in the neighborhood, hut the terror of the tradesmen, be cause she will always have the very best things, and won’t pay for them twice, nor Accept short weight; she will have no running accounts, and lor reasons of her own, keeps a very sharp look after the butcher’s bill. Perhaps her husband will tell you that she is an early riser, and that she never allows him to have breakfast by himself. You may observe her, clean and neat, and careful she is in every thing, and how she studies her hus band's comfort, and wishes to make him happy and fond ofh.is home. In her manners and in her speech there is a gentle dignity wc rarely meet with and when she ad Ircsses her tneaue.-t servant or her noblest guest, the good ness of her hcait peeps out and makes her dear to all. I say if you can marry the daughter of such a woman, do so by all means, and ask no questions. What the Japanese Jugglers Do.— Ono of the feats of the Japanese jug glers, now in Kan Francisco on their way to tho Paris Exposition is thus described : An old man lies upon his back with his feet in tho air ; a little boy mounts and stands upon'them. An oval tub is passed to the boy. which be places under his feet and upon the man’s; another is given to him, which is add ed to the first, and so on until the lit. tic fellow’s head touches the prosce nium from the top of the tottoiingpile. which is all the time supported by the strong and muscular chap below. The little fellow makes liis salaam to the audience from his dizzy height, coolly fans himself as he surveys the situation, and appears as unconcerned as if reposing on terra firtua. Kud denlv one of the performers utters an exclamation in Japanese, which is re sponded to by another. The 01-l man, the foundation of the pile takes up the chorus; the little lellow at the top jerks it out like the snapps of a whip, the “ foundation ’’ give.-} his feet a kick—things look squally for' little Tommy—the audience fbar that lie will fall and break his neck, or be teri ribly bruised among the Poxes ;' the old mau beneath appears in imminent danger, also, from the falling tubs; but no, lie gives his feet a kick, throws the tubs entirely iront him, and Tom my drops like a cat, alighting with bis feet upon the old man’s, and in an up' right position. JGfesf The purpose of a class of Radi cals, of which Mr. Ashley is a fair type, to impeach and get rid of Mr. Johnson has not been concealed at any time since Congress convened in Dei cember, but every one wffio mingles with the reflecting- abje members of Congress, especially those of tho. Sen. ate, has observed that in proportion as the plan an'd'real grounds*upon which the charge of impeachment was to be sustained became developed, the pro bability of the success of the scheme grew smaller. Rut it is not (o be denied that every effort will bo male by the piembers of tho Judiciary Committee,to makes bad case against Mr. Johnson, lor that committee is- composed of the most violent Radicals, ' some- of vtliom Messrs. Buutwcll and Bingham, for example^—were among; the original in-' stigatois of the impeachment adven ture. And, as showing the animus of tho committee, it is hut necessary to say that they have entrusted tho taking of testimony to a sub-committee of three —nil extreme Radicals Messrs. Wilson, Buutwell aud Wil liams. With such a committee, what is likely to be the character of the evi dence on which the Judiciary will re port, may be readily surmised. Swift witnesses will of course be available. The sub-eommitt.ee is composed of ro cognized learned lawyers, and the President might feel content to en. trust the taking of testimony to such able jurists, iu view of the fact that in making up the charges for impeach *uicnt tho legal interpretation ol' “trea son, and other high crimes, and mis demeanors” must be sustained by tho facts, and not the partisan construction of such men as Messrs.
