It ha been a lomtnonly rvctdvod

land that the late terrible war was
fi.reed upon us by the traitors of the
South, bulked up by ihe sympathy, and
encouragement i f their no Irss traitor
ous COfifvderatcs at the North. It U
true 'the rebels vigorously eontended

let alone, and It serins that even nnw a

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.. .
Washington D. C, Dec! 7,18C5.
Mr; EDiioR:--Laru led , to believe that
all newspaper correspondents are un
reliable present company alwaya ex
cepted.. :
Some onis from this city has written
or telegraphed, or both, that Mr. Har
lan, the Secretary tf tbe Interior, has
turned out alt the female employes of
tho Department, and thereby taken
from moro than 10O fcmulcs their means
of support. . i . . , . . ' ' !
- The statement ia far from, the truth,
lie did issue an order about tho middle
of Nov. that the ladies employed in tbo
building would be relieved at tho end of
the month, in order that tho rooms they
were occupying might be bad for tbe
Pension' office' whoso business has bo
greatly increased that tbe order became
a necessity. On account. of this order
four ladies have been' thrown out of
employment. . . , . .
The statement tbercforo camowitbin
OG of being true. To any one wbo has
cen the Patent office covering, &t it
does, two entire squares, it would hardly
be thought possible that all its room
were so filled that there was a necessity
for the above order. But such is tho
case. , Every room is filled lo its utmost
convenient capacity, and the offices of
tbe Pension Bureau are especially
crowded. It is estimated that another
large building will soon havo to be built
for iho uso'of tho Interior Departments,
and that this massive effair will be re
quired for tho uso of the Bureau of
Patents alono wbosir business is rapidly
incrensing.
Congress hss, met, organ'zod harmo
niously, and gone lo work beautifully.
Indications aro that rebels will not con
trol the legislation of the session.

Last Monday was an exception of n flno

proved to tho fullest extent.
It beat any MMuy Mooting" wo of
Franklin County ever saw. Not thut
there wero us many pretty women hero

1 wish 1 could glvo your lady readers
a good pen picture of ' Iho fah!ona as

kind, but 1 can't, nor lie no use t try.
First, however, tin crowd ftui Im

gallery if tho ho quo was filled long bo
lore tho hour, of meeting, ticoondly,

or l.idilon of diiM that the Judiv are
bound to follow. As tho Sutlvty bus
representatives from every Hiate In tho
Unlor ; so is the stylo if evtry section
displayed.
The long dresi Is still fashionable,
but it is out cf stylo to havo It trail on
tho street. It Is pinned up so us to dis
piny at least six inches of the bottom ot
the skirt; that should be ( Kan.
Laced boots with scarlet string aro
most worn, but other shades'are allow
able. Kvery style of cloak Is worn, but
fr tho young women, the tight filling

a grout variety,' but tho mink itble pro
vails, and fir what reason 1 can not tell,
the lUcb is utmost unseen.. It can not
be because tho sablo is prettier thun Ihn
(itch, lor it la not. The head dress is
very diverted. The big watorfult Is by
no mouns cut ot lishioti. When it
does go out of style tho ladies curtuinly
will suy they norur did like it. Ladies
of good Us:o and bettor Senne do not
wear the ixiravsguntly largo waterfall.
Very few have personal boauly enough
lo overcome the bud effects and appear
ance cf the largo waterfall. It takes a
large vlock for that. Of bonnets, there
is a greater diversity than of any other
article of dross- Thero .is tbe old
Quaker and Methodist bonnet and a
mixture of these wilh every other fash
ion up to the thorough bred "duck of a
bonnet" that claims to bo the Stylo of
tho season. Thcso are in Ibo majority.
Ihoy are protty, too. The beauty tf
thorn Is that thoy aro so much smaller
Iban tho summer snd last fall bonnet
that tbe cold can not contract thorn to
any dangerous extent. Kotno folks aro
disposed to laugh at them, but I tblnk
they are not much to bo made fan of.
They have several advantages, sorao of
vthlcb aro that tbey don't blow away
easily; they ukö very ttttlo trtrnk-roonr
and tbey don't get mashed in tho crowd.
I would, however, advise my female
friends not to invent largely in them.-
I hopo that Congress will not attempt
to interfere with tho right of any one
to wear aa many cf them aft they pleaso,
neither curtail the privilege of wearing
waterfalls of any ebapo or sizo desired,
though the fashionable shape really
does resemble o natural production seen
generally among' a herd of good 'cattlo.

Tlie Opnrc.Ion of Wonicn-A Lec
ture by Miss Anna E: Dlckluson,
Delivered in Boston, November
14. 1865..
. Pf Iba Doitoa-Dafly AdvsrtUcr .
In the beginning of her lecture, MUs
Dickinson spoke of tbo present manner
of educating young girf for the mar
riage state, and for tho future. Sho raid
that the great idea, tbe great aim pre
eented to. them was, that tbey must
make thcroselvcsablo"iogcta husband."
In her own peculiar manner, the
lecturer gave examples of the prevailing
style of. education, and .described the
manner in which young. ladies were
taught to Conduct themselves, and wilb
thi compared the education given to
boys and young men. Girls, she said,
should huso to coiial chanco with tho
boye. et'a gniuVe a cbanci"lö' so
educate,' Sar truio Jicrself, as to bo able
to aland side by aide with her chosen
bupbuid, and, if alio be not able lo spoak
when , he spoAs, thut ho may euy
"Amen" ondcraiandingly to what bo
hus to utter. Tho education at present
given to girls makes nincty-niue out of
a hunurtd ti thorn deceitful. They
don't enre to act Iheir own free, simple
natural selves in the presence of an un
married man. It makes girls every,
wbero believe that it ia belter to take
any ihingwbicb is cfTrcd them If it bo
respectable, or rich, ruthcr than havo
the uuwelcomo title of "Mi'sh" before
their numos on their thirtieth birtb day.
It makes women mean and mercenary
in tho msnijgea they contract. Men
and fithtta make Iboir daughters feel
that thoy are burdens upon their purscc;
that they should huvo homes or their
own; Ibut llicy should, bo settled in life
as soon as possible. Tho speaker de
clared that the falhors of imirriugcsble
daughters ought to let them know nnd
feel that they have home, permanent
homos, under their father's roofr: that
the doors vteuld ew ingslowly upon their
hinges which opened lor them to go oul
for the lust lime. This talk everywhere
hoard, of girls getting rnurricd ss'the
great aim ofthoir lifo, should bo stop
pud. In this connection Miss Dickinson
took occasion to denounce tho propoH!
to transport a enrgo of Mu8üacl.u-otts
girls to tho far west lor tho purposo ol
marrying ihcrn ff; to nd ibcm there
wilb placards hung around their necks
proclaiming them in Iho market. She
tJid not ctjjnt to seeding those girl to
thu territories if they could, upon their
arrival, havo work established for them
to do, nnd be placed upon iho avenues
of labor. Bill sho bad heard from good
authority that there was nothing (hero
f jr these girls to do but to get married,
to do woro, or starve. The t onimliteo
vho hufl ttio 'nutter In charge, stated
that there ot e thcro Ion thousand tuen,
who huvo built for tbcmsclres hüls In
which to live, end who nre tearing,
ranting, and thrashing n round tho coun
try thereabouts Trko wild beadls, solely
in need of soothing spirits. It in pro
posed that theso soothing spirits be sent
ihsm in theshnpeof live hundred young
girlrt. Our git Is aro now Imlnrd lo look
forward lu Iho tstsbllshment (J homes,
and to the procuring of persons lo sup.
port them, 'ihey gel murrled. At the
altar the young man solemnly declurts
aloud, "Willi nil my worldly goods 1
thee endow," and inenlully ejaculates,
"What's yours is mlno und what's mine
Is my own," Immediately jjficr the
marriage tho hutbund proceed dt-llbi-r-aioly
to redoes this wumun to a stnto 1 1
rt'galiX'id ptuperlsrn during the remain
der of hvr Uto, The nun ( pens It's

to his house. Tho tpoukcr snld that It

wllo hus us good a right to his iitotmy as
he hbs, because she is us thoroughly a
pin I of himself, If the mat risge riles be
due, as his own hand or his own e;e.
Men, however, gather them in, put their
money in their box, lock it up light,
and then say, In the meat bewitching
munt.cr: "Beg, 'doggie, bet'." Tho
speaker s.ild she knew many maVricd
women who litem uno nouc, and who
havo elegant urroundlugx, who steal
front the money allowed them by thulr
buds and musti-ia to pun haao tho pro
vikIoiis und tlher necessities, so that
they may. boy desired aitlcltH. ,The
way men maosgts Iheir money matters

and pre emlneutly alter sho becomes u
mother, to instruct bersull, her mind as
well as her .heart, us in lu'r bunds is
the making, Iho moulding of imrnorul
souls. In conclusion Miss Dickinson
spoke ol Iho iodecenl element ami state
of Ice ling in Kociuiy, She could enter
her protist sguinsl that idea In (be
world which sees u man go no nslrsy um
one who bus tukou un uuforlunslo step,
us having done wrong but worthy of
forgiveness, and in a woman one who
ha dropped into tho depths ol . despair.
Mho would prolesiV-agaiiist that state of
society which sees iu u man ugain in
discretion, who has Indulged in u lilllo
wildness which in truth has boen the
ruin of a lender life, tho blasting of u
puro reputation, tho everlasting des
truction and murder of an imfnortul
soul. Sbo would protest against the
morals oi the society wbichonly blames
n man, out shuts Ihe door oi uopo, ot
charity, against the woman wbo bas
taken one downward step, , which gives
to this woman no hopo to do better.
atie would that women woro moro ready
to condomn tho world in one case, and
givo charity in tho other. She wished
that women wcro a iitllo less burd on
ono another, wero eager to help and to
lift up ono of their own so.x fro m tho
slough of dospair and death.

about an hour in its delivery, and was
received with clostf attention and trot
quout demonstrations of approval..

on this eubject is given at length in ihe
regular Washington dispatches. Tho
proceedings of tho.nouae were not of
special interest.
Both Uoubcs of Corgrcss adjourned
on , Thursday, out ,of respect to tbe
memory of tho late Senator Coliamer,
of Vermont. The session of the Senate
was occupied, with addresses eulogistic
of his character. Both Uou?os adjourn,
ed until Monday, doubtless for tbo pur;
poeo of enabling the various Committees
to mature tho work lhat comes before
them. , An important debate took place
in tbo llocse, which resulted in the
adoption of tbo Stevens bill, referring
the whole subject of tho odmission of

confirms the general-hopo that there
will he no breach of harmony between
Congress and tbo Executive, Tho de

DECLARATION BY THE T-RESlDENT. .
Ilo bus recently declared that bo
would under r.o circumstsnccs bo a
candidate , for rb election. Another
widely quoted declaration of his is to
tho effect . that in selecting a successor
to IVcston King, ho docs not mean to
ioe sight of the essential, that the new
Collector shall be devoted to the Ad
ministration, fliis oQco, it may be
added, seems no neurer being filled than
it was a week ao.
The proceedings cf Congress on
Tuesday lust were interesting. In tho
Sonuto a mcsssgo from the President
was read in .relation to reconstruction.
Mr. Somner, on tho conclusion of tho
reading of tho message, characterized
it o-t a whitewashing document like Ihal
of PresidontPicrco in relation to Kansce.
This chargo was repelled by somu of the
Conservaiiro Unionists, when Mr. Sum
tier said that ho did not impugn, and
never had dono so, tho good f ilth or vo
racity of tho President, but opplied his
remarks, simply, to tho document. Ac
companying iho messigo was a report
from Gen. Grant, selling forth the' views
no hud formed in bis recent Soulbern
lour and ono from Carl Sohuiz, whu
had been sent South by the Govern
ment to investigate tho condition of af
fairs. The former was read, und the
latter ordered to bo printed. In the
House, Mr. Washburne, cf III, intro

half pust aoven o'clock, Ihe hall wus
fllled to Its utmost capacity by half pist
six, und After that hour liurtlred wero
turned awny because they were unable
to get nour tho doors, At the hour ap
pointed, Chief Justice Chase, Jlv. H
V. Dect-her and luv, Mr. Gsrnelt (col
ored) toik tho stand,
Jndtfo Chitse presided, and Introduced
Mr, Gtirnell us chaplain on the occa
aicn, who' opened the txercisis with
prayer.
It was only four years ago when a
blntlt man was not permitted to enter
Iho hall of our national legislature, other
than as a servant, but tho first gan that
wua (lied on Sumtor by domocratio
Houth Carolina, struiU tho matmclcs of
the siwven, and now a man, as black ss
ihc3' sro made, stands on the speakers
disk In that hall crowded with Americun
citizens and ofTors prayer to God, with
thnnki:ivings for. national , blessings,
and with supplication for our rulers,
und instead ol any clamor for ejectment,
tbo rulers aro thcro with heads bowed
us in solemn devotion, and tho people
aro there and say, amen 1 i -.
After prayer, Mr- Uocchcr was pro
svnlcd to tho audience by Chief Justice
Chaso in a fjw very complimentary re
murks, opon which bo proceeded to
sposk for a little over one hour end a
half. His thomo waa"Fllh in Man."
It is not necessary for mo to say that
t.he subject was eloquently presented.
He contends, among other things, that
every body, who is tbo subjoct of a Gov
ernment, should assist in governing.
That proposition includes persons of all
colors, and of both sexes. He cspeci
ally argues tbat woman should vote.
Herein should faith in all mankind be
manifested. '.'
However successful ho might have
boon in convincing colored people they
ought to voto, ho failed in convincing
tho ladies that they either should voto'
or should desiro to vote. ' ' ,
Jlnt tho lecture was not all a plea for
Ibo right of RutlYsgo fvsr alb Ho dwelt
at mwr4ngihin. tbe daty-oX.ua, üll Jo
tbe freedmen, and the duty, especially,
of working 'for' the education ond sop
port rf tho colored pecplo who aro made
free by recent .events. He urges no
harsh or unkind measures towards the
conquered .people of the South but
rather tharQ the principle cf fsith in
all mankind ind a Rtrict regard fjr tbe
rights of all the . South may be made
ultimately jo blossom as the roso. But
to this end every thing inconsistent
with liberty must be exorcised from our
organic laws. y J . (
m.i..:.. !.-.n'. ' . . -! ' i
jLaiting n on m an too lecture was
well received. " .Wbcn'TheT" colored
preacher was praying one lady, unable
to overcome lier pccolfnr ndtions'of the
fitness cf things, and being impressed
tha jhe '.was, in 'the wrong place, got
up anoVlcff, ranttcring as she wont some
thing about the horrid impropriety of
"niggers addrefsing white people." ' Sho
hadjird 4wo'rk to make the door through
the vast,crowd, but as'sbe took it into
her bead to go, sbo went. tDid you ever
see a woman that did'rii?
Sbe failed, however, lo draw a crowd,
but no dcuht succeeded in giving her
place to Stiele One who bad more sense;
or if rot moro sense, ono whose senso
of propriety ran in a different channel.
Congress is well to work: Contrury
to the general expectation, tho question
of tho ndraission of rebels to Congress
becomes no question. Some of tho-0!d
School Democrats would lovo- well
enough to'have their old friends with
them, and vote that thcV bad been
guilty cf no sin in their tffvrts to upturn
this Government', but there is no dUposi
tlon in Iho majority to tranj-frr men di
rectly f.-om cither tho rebel Congrcssor
Army to our National Legislation.'
When the Southern States manifest
Iheir loyalty by sending tnen to Con
gress who bovo taken no part in the in
terest tf iho rebellion,' then they will
stand a chance to bo represented,, and
to bo re constructed, if you pleaso, but
not until then.
Tho weather is pleasant, tho health
good, and this letter long enough. 'm
