Dandyism, like the measles, should be gone
through in early life- On a fine, handsome boy, of
sixteen or eighteen, it sits gracefully and offends
no.one. Alter that, wc look to see him in earnest
about something be. (dee brigbl neoktieaaDd cream-
colored kids-well enough for a Broadway gambler, lounging on a sunny corner but, according lo
our female ideas, eschewed by men of brains. It
may be a weakness, but a pair of light gloves ou

Then-
thotigh'vou may be no Solomon—we know   you
sometimes think. In this connection, wcnhl it be
too much to ask what madness has seized the male
population of New York, to mray themselves,
like so many footmen, in those long, petUcoatty
coats, whieh now caress tbeir heels, and make day
hideous.—Tulk of "female servility to fashion,"
when short dumpy men allow their tailors to swal
low them up in these swaddling clothes, by which
the tallest man escapes utter ugliness, " so as by
flre!" We regaled our eyesawbele block, the
other day, with the sight of a genllemau who had
the courage to go out and face fashion in a bran
new short bob tailed coat. Goodness, how refreshing I No man iu those footmen-like coats is »l-
lowed a waist—lhe two defining back waist butlons
being placed where a silting position might make
them uncomfortable. In short, no monstrosity of
female rashion was ever uglier. Now in onr view,
consistency demands that the other sex should be
dumb—from fhis time—henceforth and forever-
more— upon the " compulsory vagaries of female
fashion." As to " female extravagance"—contemplate forty five dollars for a man's coat; sixty
dollars for a dozen shirts; twelve dollars for a
vest; fourteen for a pair of pants ; twelve dollars
a dozen for gloves, each pair to be worn but once ;
threo hundred dollars for a watch; all expended
by unhappy young men, who " would be glad to
be married, were not the women of the present day
bo extravagant1"
I am disposed to be lenient on tbe boot question
 for if I have a weakness,  which is a matter of
doubt among those who know me best I it is for
a row of nicely-fitting gaiter-boots, all my own,
and paid for. I know it is a weaknes to pay for
them, but that is a provincial relic of my down-

born In Mowry county, Tenn., on May 19, 1812.—
lie received an academical education, served some
time iu a printing olliee, and in 1829 became editor of a newspaper in Bans, Tenn. He was afterwards, in 1834, editor of the Columbia (Tenn.)
Observer; in 1.835, State Printer, and in 1843 editor ofthe Nashville Banner, then the official paper of the Whig party iu that State. 1843-9 he
was Controller of lhe State Treasury ; 1S49 he was
ohosen to the Slate Senate ; 1850, he built the suspension bridge at Nashville, and after another period of editorship of the Banner, he was, in 1853,
He was a fine debater, wheu reused, as his discus-
„ious with Alexander II. Stephens proved in 1854
in Congress. When the war broke out he warmly
espoused the Confederate cause, and was made a
Geueral, and for some time held Cumberland Gap
with a small force, was appoiuted Brigadier-General, advanced in Kentucky. and was defeated at
Camp Wild Cat. When in Congress, he was generally esteemed ns a most honorable, punctilious
but unobtrusive Southerner. It is a matter ol
great surprise to his many friends of former days,
that a man of his clear head, aud who during near
ly all of his life was in conflict with the radical
Southern element in which secession found if
birth, should at last have yielded to its full influence. He leaves no family except an accomplished
daughter, who waB married a year or two ago.

Another day's journey brought us to Chataou—
a hamlet at lbe foot oi the Great Wall. The road
for the last fifteen miles had been so bad that we
were obliged to leave onr horses at Nankin, hiring
in their place Tartar ponies. Nothing Ic^h surefooted than these shaggy, hardy little beasts, could
have carried us through those rugged mountain
paths, which we would have doue ou foot but that
one mile'- march over the sharp rocks which form
the pavement would have left us shoeless.
At daybreak on the following morning, we
climbed the highest peak of the mountain range,
and ihere, standing on the top of the Great Wall,
fleeted upon ihe stupendous folly of ibis wonderful work of human industry, which is said to
have cost the country 21)0,000 lives from sheer
exhaustion. The wall, which is built of stone and
brick, is twenty feet high aud 15 feet broad, surmounted by a double parapet, loopholed on the
north side. As far as the eye can follow the mountain range it winds over the ridges of the preoptions black rocks like a gigantic serpent crawling
along, and with its breath poisoniug all around ;
for, turn where you will, nothing meets the view
but the desolate, dreary tract of rock unrelieved
by a blade of grass or a tuft of moss, and huge
boulders  strewing the base of thc mountain sides-
It was the athim •■''" '---■-' '- •■     "  "    -**"
nature had already built a barrier lar more effectual than anything that human art could construct.
However there it remains, alter a lapse ol nearly
two thousand years—a monument of the cruel folly
of one man, aud the patient industry and sufferings of many thousands.
Having made an abortive attempt at a sketch i
and tried in vain to discover one redeeming feature in this vaBt scene of desolation, I secured my
brick, and descending to the pass, remounted to
proceed homewards. Our guard could hardly
believe his senses—certainly ho doubted ours.
When at Nankin, mine host inquired what we
were going to tbe Great Wall lor. Our honest
answer met with no credit. Were there uot walls
everywhere? Was not tbe wall of Fekin much
better worth looking at? And then, as for shoot-
why come so far for game when it could be
bought in market at our very doors? His impres
sion evidently was that we had some sinister
project in view ; but when we returned with lhe
brick, the good man simply buret out laughing,
and set us down for a couple of harmless maniacs.

muscles of the epiue, whieh are designed to keep
it straight, causes absorption of those muscles ;
aud. aa the right arm is used more than tbe left,
tbe spine is drawn under the right shoulder blade,
thus making it project. The muscles are so weakened by absorption that they cannot bring the spine
back to its proper position, and bo we have a case
of lateral curvature. In addition to this tight
dress, I have   Beeu  girls of thirteen  and   fourteen
thoughtless mothers in the hope to straighten the
child, but under their cruel pressure the d fficulty
rapidly increases, till the poor deformed girl is
sent to a spinal institution to be treated. While
this difficulty is gradually increasing, the young
girl is sent to school to spend six hours every day
bending over a low desk; and when Bhe returns
home, instead of being allowed to play ball or any
active game in the open air, as ber brothers are, she
is placed on a high music stool, where her toes
but just touch the floor, with nothing to protect
her back. In this position she must sit one long
painful hour. Do you wonder that she bas n

Tub Origin of "Contrabands." —Gen. Butler
bus had the credit of inventing the term contrabands,
as applied to slaves, aud it has been regarded as an
inspiration of genius. Slaves arc now hardly known
by any other miiue ; the author of lhe term, however,
was not (Jen. Butler, bat George Opdyke thc present
Mayor of New York. In his excellent volume on
political economy, published by Putnam in 18,.1>
there is a chapter on slavery, in which occurs the
following passage : " Slaves arc not even furnished,
as they formerly were, by African traders, at the
cheap tates ol stolen goods, tho article being now
contraband with us," &c. Probably Gen. Butler had
read ihis work and remembered tho term which lie
basso happily applied, Mr. Opdyke meant they were
contraband of commerce, while tho General called
tbem contraband of war.
Martello Towers.—This name is given to a small
round fortification of mason work, usually two sto
rics high ; the first being used for stores, lhe second
for troops, and the walls terminate in parapets whicii
shelter pivot guns, 'lhe English navy once met
with one of these fortifications in Martello Bay, Cor
sica Island, which proved to be a very hard custom
er to reduce, and Irom this such towers took their
name. From their experience of this little fortification, the English came to have a great liking for
Martello towers, and when they fancied that Napoleon had some thought of visiting lhe " favored is c,"
they planted tho coast with these posls of reception,
thinking that if each one should give him as much
trouble as the one which bhey found at Coisica did
them, he would probably have a good tune in com
ing to see them. These towers are intended for coast
and river fortifications, but are comparatively
less when the huge modern guns are turned aga
them. One was found at Tybee Island, three stories
high, and built of concrcie, ten feet iu thi.'kt

Weird were*the Bgures al his bests ,
And yet Ihey seem.d no lay. orghosta ;
A sense ot something vasl and siill.
The traveler had a merry heart,
God shelters .uch in every part ;
To every soul alive was lie,
As kind as mortal man could be ;
Wild blew the wind, down drove thedust,
As in the month of March it must :
And yet for all the dust and wind,
He spoke o! March in accents kiud.
" Many I know,'7 said he, " aro rude.
And swear, ' March grass does Utile good,'
And that March winds and the May sun
Make linen white and maidens dun ;
But then 'tis true, by all confest,
' Birds hatched in March are ever best ;'
And March, if rough, is sure, they say,
To make in lime the loveliest May.'*
Around the fire a murmur rolled
Of wonder, storm-like, uncontrolled 1
And a deep laugh of awful eport,
Like Norse gods in the Thunder Court;
And one arose from his ear')]  bed,
A Iressh young giant, white and red ;
'■ By all the wind,   .lea'di Heaven's arch !
U'hat man is thia who praises .March ?
" Thou know's us not, yet soon .halt know,
From us Hie we. kn and bourn grow.
Thou . ecst what man did never see,
For lo I lhe Months iu truth are we.
O'er every land I long have blown.
And all that man says to me is known j
Yet never heard in all my search
A man belore who praise me—March !
" And. traveller, for praising me,
Rich is the boon I give to thee *
No sun by day, no storm by ni^ht,
Shall give tliec pain or cause ihee fright j
All wealth, all blessing, man has kuown,
SIihII ever freely be thine own i
Now go thy way in pence, and still
Be known as one who ne'er spoke ill.

Geu. McClellan addressed the soldiers of the
Army of the Potomac on the 14th. For a long
time he had kept them inactive, in order thai
they might be disciplined, armed and instructed,
lie held them back in order that he might give
the death blow to rebellion. Their patience and
confidence in the General were worth a dozen
victories. The moment for action had now
arrived. Inaction had passed, and we will now
bring you lace with  the rebels.
Large numbers of contrabands ore arriving from
the country. The course adopted in regard to
them is as follows : If they have been employed
by secessionists they are turned over to the divi
sion quartermaster fur employment by the Federals ; if otherwise, they are returned to tbe
owner.

A correspondent, writing (rom Missouri, says that
in Clark and many other counties, no man dures go
from home for fear of being shot from some thicket
tree. Men are shot down in their fields whilst
attending to Ihe daily avocations of life—prowling
bands going round plundering find murdering whcie
ever they go. " Only a few days ago a lot of these
.n went to James Foster's store in Shelby county,
and destroyed everything ho had. I myself have
been twice a prisoner, and hardly knew that I
should ever see my family again. The two parties
are fighting and skirmishing in every neighborhood

Sr. Lofts, March 11 _IJut few additional par-
liculais ol the great I. .ttie in nortwestern Arkansas, have been received. This is accounted lor by
the fact that the rebels are iu fore* between Gen.
Curtis'camp and Springfield, where regular communication come from St. Louis. The following
particulars have been telegraphed to the Si. Louis
Republican :
Iu anticipation of an attack on the south, Gen.
Curtis ordered trains drawn up on the north side,
but an unexpected attack commenced on our army
by 1,500 or 2,00 rebel cavalry. Gen. Sigel. wilh
800 men, protected the trains for Several hours,
alternately retiring and slopping to hold the rebels
in check while the (rain pushed backward to the
main body of the army, while ihe rebels engaged
Sigel, who,was three times surrounded, but cut his
way through every time. The principal fighting
was doue in this way.
On Friday, the 7th, the engagement became
general. The most exposed position wa3 occupied
by Col. Cann's Division. A letter from Col-
Dodge, speaking oflbi_ Division, says : The loss-
es of the -Uh, 9th and 35th Illinois, and 33th Missouri, from 150 to 200 in each regiment, killed
and wounded. Only 300 of the 84th Missouri were
present. Their loss was 29 killed, and number.
wounded. The 20th and 17th Missouri, the Iowa
Cavalry, and the 9th Indiana, lost about 41) each _
the 1st and 2d Iowa Batteries, 20 each. Among
our wounded are Geu. Ash ith, in the arm; Col.
Oar., al.--o io the arm; Lieut-Cot. Gallagher, of
the 4th Iowa, Lieut-Col. Herran and Mnjor Coyle.
killed; Brig-Gen. Stock and Col. Rains, dangerously wounded ; Miijor-G.nerai Sterling Price,
slightly wounded in the hand; Col. Herbert,
wounded ; —-, 3d Lonisian, killed.
Among the cannon captured was one lost by
Sigel at Wilson's Creek. Our loss is estimated at

In connection with this affair, and In view of iho
pertinacity with which Secretary Welles shields
Morgan, who happens to be his brother-in-law, it
is pleasant to KB strong indications that Gov. N.
P, Banks is soon lo take lhe head ol lhe Navy De-
par (ment. His character aud antecedents will justify the prediction that under his administration
no such shameful frauds could be committed
against our gallant navy Without meeting with
condign punishment. Nobody of course thinks of
charging Mr. Welles with any participation in
ihese frauds, or with any connivance wilh it. But
it is leit that sympathy with a ne.ir relative has

her return she met with disasters at sea, which
would havo been very serious had she not

Coming Removal ol tin: Custom House.
On " Muviog day." that is the 1st of May, a removal will take place in this ciiy of COQ.Iderabla
Importance* The New York Custom House will
then remove its quarters from ils present location
at the corner ol Nassau and Wall streets, to the
Merchant's Exchange building, wdiicli immense
structure has b.-cn leased to Government I'or a
term of years, wiih the right to purchase should
it prefer. The cost of the Exohanga building was
nearly $2,000,000, but it is said it can now be purchased for 0_e»half lhat sum. The present Custom
House building »";is linisln-d, I think, in 18..7, and
is said to have cost Dearly . 1,500 0!i0, including
lhe price of the land. But it was built in times of
an Inflated currency, under the superintendence ot
three Government Commissioners, ami was iu the
hands of the workmen upwards "f three years
Iroin the time the corner-stone was laid. All ihis
time each one ol the Commissioners was drawing
for doing comparatively nothing. Ilnsed to be
related of one of these, who happened to live out
of towu, lhat he attended to his duties so seldom,
that whenever he did come iniolowu to "Inspect,"
he always had to inquire bis way lo ille Custom
House site. Ho was always in town, however, on
quarter-day.
The Merchant'sEjtcbaoge covers a site probably
about four ttmSfl as large as that occupied by
the Custom Bouse, and the building is much
loftier. It is lhe intention of Government to [ut-
nisli within its ample walls accommodations, also,
for the Polled States Sub-Treasury, the Assay
Oflice. and, in faci, for all the Guverniaeiit offices
and subordinates lu ihe etty,excepting those connected wilh the courts. The basement will be
used as a warehouse for bonded goods, for tbo
storage of which there is an Immense area.
