these works are indispensable. Thoy are adapted to the
literary wants of the Christian, the patriot, the statesman,
attu the domestic circle, got up in a superior style of art
and workmanship; and are not only such books as will
sell", but are such as an agent of good principle will feel
-free to recommend, and willing to see the purchaser again
after they have been bought.
Our I'lan.?The plan the publisher has so successfully
carried out for several years, is the obtaining responsible
men as agents, who are well known in their own counties,
towns, and villages, and have time and disposition to cir
culate good and instructive books among their neighbors

South Carolina, June, 1861. /
Deah Telegraph : I wonder if the sight of
your pleasant little phiz was ever half as welcome
to your city subscribers as it was to me at the
and of my four weeks' peregrinations through
rjrginia, North and South Carolina? I ?at
down to read the pile of " Daily Telegraphs"
which had accumulated on the little white toi
let table in my room at Spartanburg, with a
zest 1 never experienced before; and for the
first time it occurred to me, how great is our
indebtedness to you editors, especially those
who daily cudgel their own brains, and scis
surize their contemporaries, for our amusement
and edification. Not an item in your racy little
sheet escaped me, for, coming from home, every
thing was interesting, from that dreadful mur
der perpetratod a few days after my departure,
to that last agony, "the ladies in pants." By the
way, dear Tel! do you ever catch yourself blush- I
ing at the efforts you editors are making to
induce the "dear delightful creatures" to make
themselves ridiculous (if a lady can render her
self so!) merely for your amusement 1 for I doubt
if there is two of your fraternity, from Maine
to Texas, who would consent to see a wife
daughter, or sister, in this masculine costume
and yet they are gravely told, the proposed
change is far more convenient, comfortable and
healthy, and that the feeling in favor of the
present costume is all the effect of "prejudice."
On this now all-engrossing subject, I have been
told by ladies of undoubted taste and refinement
(both North and South,) that their present style
of dress is all that .could be desired for ease,
comfort or convenience, allowing every possible
modification of material to suit the seasons,
and unimpeded motion to every muscle?the
waist no longer compressed, or made to ride
across the chest and shoulders?the arms no
longer pinioned with tight sleeves, or deformed
with balloon monstrosities?and the skirt, once
so scant as to give the fair wearer the appear
ance of a bolster, is now permitted the graceful
fulness of drapery. The only possible objection
that oan be made is, that this last item has of
late been worn somewhat too long, say from
two to three inches. Painters, the only proper
judges in this matter, have long since decided
that the true " line of beauty" in the skirt is
i that which gives an occasional view of what the
poet terms "their twinkling feet," perhaps
within two inches of the ground, or just to the
binding of the slipper. Let those ladies who
have determined never to unsex themselves, let
who will adopt p&ntaloonB, mako this slight
alteration in their present modest, womanly,
and graceful ?ostuine, and they cannot fail to
command the respect and admiration of all men
whose opinion is worth deserving. But our re
spect for woman's peculiar attire is not founded
upon prejudice, but something far deeper and
holier; in truth and in fact the now much-abused
petticoat or skirt is to all men sacred. Witness
the deference paid to its wearer by all sorts and
conditions of mankind, and the feeling almost
of profanation with which we should see a man
put it on, even for a momentary jest; but what
becomes of this feeling when a man, on getting
up in the morning, may by mistake put on his
wife's pants instead of his own ; or a lady, viee
versa, put on those of her husband ? Indeed,
so absolutely essential is the flowing out
line of the petticoat to the proper develop
ment of female beauty, that I have no doubt the
fabled "(.estus of Venus" was in reality the
belt of this sacred garment. Hut even should I
be mistaken on this point, I assert, without fear
of contradiction, that it was not the waist-band
of her pantaloons.
Venus in pantaloons? Olympus! what a
sight!
But a truce to pants, dear Telegraph. I sat
down to give you a sketch of my tandem jour
ney of five hundred miles to* this delightful
spot; and lo! have said nothing about it, but
have been beguiled into a chapter upon what
seems to be uppermost in everybody's mind at
this time. But if you desire it, I can do so in
a future letter. At present I am on the eve of
a " deer-hunt" in the mountains, which I see
from my window, booming off blue and clear in
the distance, only twenty miles from where I
am wiiting. The cool, fresh breeze from their
summits preserves this place in a most delight
ful temperature; especially the nights, which
are never the least oppressive, and are a luxury
unknown to you denizens of the "hot and
dusty town." But adios, for the present. Be
punctual in mailing my Telegraph during my
absence; and believe me, as ever, yours,

Nobility in TRorBi.it.?One day when the
flng-ship of an American Commodore was lying
in the bay of Naples, she was honored by a visit
(rom the King and royal family, with suite,
who came out in gilded barges ami the full
parade of royalty. The ship was dressed from
deck to truck in holiday attire; side-boys were
mustered at the ropes, the marines presented
arms, the guns thundered forth a royal salute,
and the Commodore welcomed his guests to the
quarter-deck with the politeness befitting an
officer of rank.
One of the suite, a spindle-shanked and gau
dily-attired Neapolitan, strayed away from the
party, ai?jt cruising about midships, espied a
windmil, an object he had never seen before.
** fully expanded by the air, he took it
for a pillar, and folding his arms leaned against
it, when it yielded to his weight, and he disap
peared below, heels over head, with a velocity
that was actually marvellous, as was his escape
rom any injury. The mishap chanced to have
only one witness. This was a veteran tar, who,
approaching the quarter-deck, and touohiug his
nat, said respectfully: "I beg pardon, Com

Cruelty to Children. ? Messrs. Editors ?

ti ? i ? f treatment inflicted on a child by
the brutal man Meckel, in which it was stated
nick to ?hii I8 lTk.T litCral,y CUt from his
neck to his heels, I know not when I have
boen more gratified than to learn that the au
thorities took the matter in hand, and sent the
inhuman JBecket to jail.
Passing, up street yesterday, I heard
a child screaming in a most terrific manner
and presuming it might bo some case of acci
dent in which I could do something to relieve
the sufferer, I entered the house, and to my
astonishment found it was a mother beating
her boy, who was about the same age, I should
think, as that of the boy Johnson. I hardly
need to add, that that moral monster of a mo
ther was notified to cease her brutality, or take
the consequences which might follow.
It affords me pleasure to know that we have
police officers who will exercise a humane
guardianship over poor and otherwise unpro
tected children. It is creditable to the city to
have such officers. And now my hund is in
Messrs. Editors, allow me to speak one word
for that part of creation which cannot speak
fou-itself those noble animals whom the wise
Creator has never allowed to know their own
strength, that they might the more easily be
domesticated for the use of man. Hardly a
day passes but some rider?himself excited
perhaps, with unnatural stimulants?will uree
his horse at the top of his speed, until the poor
animal falls down, and.sometimes dies of ex
haustion The laws of this Christian land are
designed to protect beasts, also, from such bru
tal inhumanity. j

Tmmioi vs. Intemperance.?Messrs. Edi
tors : rhree temperance meetings were held
yesterday in the District: one on Seventh street
near M, which was addressed by Mr. A Glad
man and a stranger from Pennsylvania; one
w Georgetown, on High street, which was ad
dressed by .Messrs. Harrington and Savage of
this city; and another at the Hall, at night
Four signatures were obtained to the pledge at
the two last-named meetings. About one hun
dred grogshops were open, contrary to late, in the
same limits, whose pledged members could be
seen staggering about the streets at all hours,
up to one or two o'clock in the morning?some
lulling down, no doubt cutting their heads and
limbs; others going home and beating their
wives and children, and all setting a glorious
example of the reign of Law and Order.
Cost or a Cardinal's Hat?Some singular
details have been elicited in discussions in the
trench Assembly. It has been proposed, among
other things, to strike from the budget the de
mand of forty-fire thousand francs for the ex
pense of installing each of the new cardinals,
and of five thousand francs as annual allowance
to each, and in consideration of his new dignity.

The Right Kikd of a Wife!?The Panama
Herald relates the following case of elopement:
" A lady at San Francisco, on the morning
of the sailing of the Tennessee, was quietlv
seated reading over the list of passengers who
had engaged passage for Panama, when to ber
astonished sight there appeared the name of her
hushaudjn the list! Could she believe her own
eyes . She knew that her husband's trunks
were packed, and that he had informed her ' he
was obliged to go to Sacramento on business,
which would detain him a few days.' Startled
and convinced by the truth thus manifested to
her, she concluded to open his trunks, where
she found eight thousand dollars in hard cash.
This she divided, taking three thousand dollars
and leaving five thousand dollars?the 'lion s
share ?which was exceedingly generous on her
part. In due time the affectionate husband
bade her good-bye, telling her he would be back
in three or four days, and little suspecting that
she was not only cognizant of his villany. but
that out of his means she bad provided amply
for nemlf. He left, went on board the T en
nessee, came to this city, and is now on his
way to New York, whilst his deserted wife is
rejoicing to think that she has so easily got ri d
of such a contemptible wretch as his conduo t
proves him to be."
A Sehioos WEi)?iija!?A writer in the New
York Sun thus relates the experience of a West
ern miuitftcr, a? he heard him give it in:
"The most solemn wedding I ever attended
was in K. You have alt doubtless seen singular
things in your country experience in that line;
butmineis uaique?prodigiouu?-appalling. Oue
evening, just at dusk, 1 was waited on by a ca
daverous looking fellow, who mysteriously inti
mated to me that I was wanted that evening in
a hymeneal capacity. The fellow's hat ' was
not all a hat?part of the brim was gone.' lie
was a land-holder, evidently, for his rents were
coming in. Hie boots were not rights and lefts, \
j tljey were both lefi?, having been thrown away
1 by a former wearer; nor was there any vestige
| of rectitude iu them. As to his buttons, they
were like verbs?'rtegular, irregular, defective.' '?
i His tout ensemble was gypsey-ish; and he wis
evidently in the preliminary stage of & dumb
j ague.
''After minute directions as to my route I Suf
fered this messenger of Cupid to depart, arid
prepared myself for a wedding. My toilette
was soon made, and 1 sallied forth.
"It was a pleasant moonlight night, and I soon
found myself outside the village, across the ca
nal, in a broad marshy field, filled with bushes.
After about three miles walking I drew nigh to
a log house containing a single room nnd a loft.
1 found the door open, and entered. There was
nobody within. The room was literally empty.
There was no bed, no table, no chair, no bench,
not the first vestige of a piece of furniture nor
of a cooking utensil, except the fireplace. I
suppose fireplaces are cooking utensils, and
this was a large one. There was no fire in it,
however, only a couple of smoking brands. 1
stood looking?-waiting?wondering. Could I
have missed my way ? No : the directions were
too precise. Could there be a plot to murder
or rob'!
41 A deep sense of awe settled on me. I was
about to call aloud, when a noise arrested my
attention. I looked to the corner whence the
sound proceeded, and there I saw?(I was mis
taken in saying there was no furniture?there
was a ladder with every other round broken out,
and a square nailed on)?I looked and saw a
pair of boots coming down, followed by no other
than my ague-stricken friend. The bride fol
lowed next, in a striped calleo dress, and a bon
net which was legbom, (probably) so called from
its resemblance to two familiar objects in nature
?a leg of bacon and a horn of whisky.
" The pair confronted me ; the bridegroom in
the blue stage of ague?the bride in a blue
calico, and stood in mute anticipation. I saw
they expected me to marry them. I began. I
took breath after a short prayer. I do not think
that prayer was particularly lucid. I progressed
successfully through the prescribed formula. I
pronounced thein man and wife, and again en
tered upon a short concluding prayer. As I
ceased speaking, and opened my eyes, 1 found
I was alone. Bride and bridegroom had dis
appeared while I with unction had been inter
ceding for them, and what they were doing I
could not tell.
" The frogs and crickets were singing merrily.
1 walked three miles and a half home and went
to bed. And do you believe it? 1 never got
any fee. Take it all in all, it was the most
solemn wedding I ever attended."
The Lind Ckiticisbu).?The editor of the
Minersville Bulletin, our old young friend George
Wynkoop, visited our city to hear Jenny Lind
at her fnrewell concert, and in his last paper
says of her singing?" Let our reader imagine
himself attached to the bob-tail of n large kite

breaks, and he comes down 'wiggle-waggle,' (a
very expressive word,) arriving on terra firma

imagination thus aid him, nnd it will be useless
for us to feebly portray the peculiarities of her
musical talent, for he has Jenny Lind herself
before him, singing, 'Oh! mie Fed el i!' The

Female Cockaok.?The Manitowoe county
(Wis.) Herald, of the 12th ult., relates the fol
lowing remarkable incident of female courage:
Miss Emma Thayer, a young lady, fifteen
years of age, living at Rowley's Bay, in this
I county, while walking on the beach on the
! morning of the first day of May, Baw a wolf a
short distance off, watching a deer which he
bad driven into the lake; and with a courage
i rarely equalled, drove him away, aud, wading
i into the lake, brought the deer to the shore by
the ear. After petting him a short time, the
ungallant fellow made an attempt to get away,
' and finally carried matters so far as to knock
her down and tear her dress: wben, becoming
justly incensed at such treatment, she took a
stone and dashed out his brains. The wolf
was all the time standing by, a silent spectator
of the fight, in which he took no further part
' than by occasionally showing a formidable row
I of white teeth.
It is safe enough to predict that if this girl
lives a few years more, she will be able to
! " whip her weight in wild cats."
"Extremes meet," is a proverb which finds
an odd illustration in the recent action of the
English Parliament nnd the California Legisla
ture. These two bodies, which may l>e con
sidered as lying at the extremes of oitilization,
both adjourned lately for rcasous of like na
ture and importance?the first to attend the
Derby races, and the latter to witness a bull

A New kiwi> or Full.?A fathomless bed of
the purest quality of peat or turf fuel has been
discovered within four miles of the village of
' Saratoga Springs, the surface extending over
some sixty acres. "Extensive excavations hnve
been made withont finding any bottom to the
strata, and proving it to be of the finest quality
as far down as explored. It is said to he supe

either coal or wood. ^ ___
