THE PILOT. GREENCASTLE : Tuesday Morning, Sept. 22,1863 re 0 1 . 1 • :Nt , 7 , ° _ • FASHION. Fashion is truly.a 'stern tyrant, swaying an iron sceptre over all the subjects of his exten sive empire: 'Seated on his throne at Paris he make;i lifS'p - oirei'lcno - Wn and felt all over the whole world.'• 'Republican, monarchist and au- tocrat alike, bow the knee to him, yielding a servile siibmission to his capricious commands. His will is law every where, no matter how ri diculous the customs' he imposes, how heavy the lakes he levies. No One of his subjects dare refue to coUform to his 'prescriptions or meet •his'iiernands. 'the exatation• of hiS power he dictates that'the c•entlernan's - appaiel 6118:11 - eargigrtrirga( arla sicitt, of breeches id . Ulide the legs just cause to complain of room, of stub-toed shoes, a hikh-crOWned hat, a chain 'dangling by the side whether there be a watch to it or not, a ratan in the hand and a Havana in the mouth. No sooner is this dictum known than the exterior of every votary , of-fashion undergoes. a com plete 'change, and that which was new but a short time ago, is thrown aside as outlandish, antiquated ? tinftt.s . hicnictp/e. Every fop in the country having deurted, the latest style presents himself on the street f -at the theatre, and at the;chureh to be admired by those possessed of au equal amount of 'brains and laughed at by personefsense. NorVellie ladies any bet ter in this respect, for we find them at one time in advance of their : bounets, at another lost in them ;,,now with a hoop; now with a trail; now with a•bag• of notion's on.their hips, nov with out them—just as fashith dictates. And here let us remark, fashion kills More women than • toil and sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a great;Aransgression of the laws of woman:s nature, a greater injury to her physi cal and mental constitution; than the hardships of poverty and neglect. The slave woman at her tasks, will live and grow old, and see two or three generations of her mistresses fade and pass away. e washerwoman, with scarce a ray of hope to cheer her in her toils, will live to see her fashionable sisters all die around her. The kitchen maid is hearty and strong, when her lady has to be nursed like a sick baby. It is a sad-fast that fashion pampered women` are altimst *orthless for all the good ends of human life. They have but little force of character . ; they have still less power of moral; will, and quite as little physical ener gy. ~They live for. no. great purpose in life; they accomplish no worthy. ends. They are only doll forms in—thegtands of milliners and set - 466,10' be dreSsed and fed to order. They dieksnehody they feed nobody ; they instruct nobody, and save nobody They write no books,; they. set no rich examples of , virtue and womanly. life. ,If they rear children, servants and nurses do all, save to conceive and give them birth •And-when•reared, what are they? What do they ever amount to, but weak scions of old stock'? • Who ever heard of a fashionable woman's child exhibiting aoy virtue and power of mind for which it became eminent? Read the bi ographies of our great and good men and wo men. Not one of them , had a fashionable mother. • They nearly all sprang from •strong Minded woman,•whii hd about as little to do with fashion as with the changing clouds. We often laugh when we read that the sub jects of Alexander b Int their heads to one side becauie ihe head of the great Macedonian was naturally inclined ;, that the courtiers of Rich ard 111 mounted a bustle on their backs to be in fashion with - their sovereign, whom nature had made a hump-back ; that the French prin- ces wore shies two' feet and a-half in length, which an E.:rl of Anjou had invented to hide the 'deformity of his' feet; and yet our imita thin of the tailors in Paris is ,no less ridiculcits. This "living up to fashions," as it is called, is nut ugly foolish in itself but it is often the cause of much pecuniary embarrassment, as it leads to• great extravagance. Many wishing to keep up appearances, plunge theinseives into debt, and acting oh the principle that it is bet ter to he out of the world Van out of fashion, they sink 'still deeper and deeper until their little all comes under the Sheriff's hammer, and it becomes unfashionable for the fashion able, world to admit them any longer into their society. We are a "-fast and stirring" people, and each of "us is eager to keep up with the times, 'and outstrips his neighbors in external . display and glitter.---endeavOring to excel. We, there fore, spend money not - only after, but before we, have earned, and when we become embar rassed, we run large risks in hopes of large gains, and the result is, every year a series of 64 failures." Viewed-in the light of political economy the money paid fur the support of " the fashions" 'is "a useless expenditure;an unproductive con sumption. We •admire the independence of, that honest clam of persons who pay no regard' whatever to the fashions of the day but wear THE PILOT :-GREENCASTLE, FRANKLIN CO.. PA..

And yet, such is the spirit of the age, such the con formity to prevailing., customs, that he who dis- regards them is considered either as a rustic or an eccentric genius, whilst the fop, whose every movement, every article of attire is a la mode Paris, is counted an angel in disguise. t THE NEWS. The editor of the Washington ),.'tar returned from t)u!pepper CoM.t, House on Thursday and states that on Wednesday night the Union line extended from Sterensburg through Cul pepper. to Stone Mountain House, four miles north of the Court House. On Thursday the line was changed, the army having advanced nearer to the Rapidan. The corps of A. P. Hill and Ewell are believed to be opposite. strongly intrenched. A telegram from head quarters yesterday announces all quiet, the position of the army states that , a party of Rebels, secreted in a thicket, fired on some of our men who were digging a rifle-pit, on Wed nesday morning. killing Captain• Hart, of the Fourth New York Cavalry, and wounding fourteen or fifteen men. Early on Thursday morning a body of sev eral hundred Rebels crossed the Upper Poto mac, between Watts' Branch and Muddy Creek. Gen. Heintzelman being in the neighborhood on a tour of inspection, pursued them so sharp ly that they were forced to recross the river below Edward's Ferry. They committed no depredations, probably because they found themselves in the immediate vicinity of UniOn troops. It is thought that they assembled and came from near Drainesville. Head quarters, Army of the Cumberland in the Field, Sept. 18—All is quiet, though there is constant skirmishing along the line, and frequent dashes of cavalry between both armies. The enemy does not appear anxious to attack, though he apparently intends to dis pute our further advance. He remains in constantly increasing force directly in front, a few miles distant, receiving heavy reinforcements of old troops from Lea's army. Longstreet passed through Augusta on the 10th and 11th inst., by rail, to Roses, and his advance his reached Lafayette. The Rebels have been moving through a gap of the Pigeon Mountains and forming on this side, as . if to attack. General Rosecrans has assumed a strong defensive position on Checkamang,a Creek, covering Chattanooga. He evinces no disposition to attack at present. His preparations to do so cannot all be com pleted for a few days, when a battle must ensue. 'Gen. Stantley, of the Cavalry, is very ill and , has gone to the rear. Gen. R. P. Mitchell .succeeds him' in command. All reports of an engagement here are false. The enemy have been busy to-day feeling . our lines, and artillery duels have been brisk, with ew casualities The Rebels may be busy getting into posi tion for attack tomorrow. Little doubt remains that either Lo'ngstreet or Ewell's Corps are here. Any 'day may bring on an engagement. The public will be informed at an early moment of the beginning and progress of the battle, if any occurs. Washington, Sept. 18.—The following portant opinion of Judge Holt, was issued by the Provost Marshal• General: 'Under the thirteenth section of the enroll ment act, it is clear that a party drafted and wishing to furnish a substitute or pay •the commutation, must do so on or before the day fixed for his appeartince. The privilege ex pires with that day. If he fails to report himself and is arrested as a deserter, he has still the right to go be fore the Board of Enrollment, and prove that he is not liable to do military duty; but if, on hearing his claim to exemption he is held to be liable, he cannot escape personal service. He IS also, under such circumstances, subject to be proceeded against as a deserter. Memphis, Sept. 11.—Refugees who have lately arrived within our lines, bring exciting reports of the terrible condition of affairs in the South. Oue man, who left Mobile on the sth, states that a terrible riot broke out among the soldiers' wives at Mobile, on the 4tli. Aboat 600 woman and children collected on Spring Hill, armed with clubs and hatchets, and marched through the principal'streets, car rying banners on which were inscribed "Bread or Blood !" "Bread or Peace!" &c. Being soldiers' wives their proceedings were were winked at by the soldiers, who made but feeble resistance. Stores were broken open and forcibly entered. One merchant, a Jew struck one of the 'woolen, when some policeman, who , were pres ent, arrested the Jew and beat him severely. Many citizens left town, among whom was our informant, who says the riot was increasing when he left. The Secretary of War has ordered that the relating to the suspension of the writ of habeas, ( . 0 2 -pus and Piot;latnation of the President, based upon the same, be published for tlit% in• formation of all concerned, and that the follow ing special instructions for persons in the mili tary of the United States be strictly observed, namely : The attention of every officer in the military service of the United States is called to the proclamation of the President issued on the 15th day of September, 1863, by which the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is sus pended. It, therefore, a writ of habeas corpus should, in violation of the aforesaid proclamatoiri, be sued out and served upod any officer in the military service of the United States, command log him to produce before any Court or Judge, any person in his custody by authority of the President of the United States, belonging to any one of the classes specified in the President's proclamation, it' shall be the duty of such officer to make known by his certificate, under oath, to whomsoever may 'issue such writ of habeas corpus, that the person named in said writ is detained by him as a prisoner, under the authority of the President of the United States, such return having been made, of any person serving or attempting to serve such writ, either by the command of any court or other wise, and with or without process of law shall attempt to • arrest the officers making such re turn and holding in custody such person, the, said officer is hereby commanded to refuse sub mission and obedience to such arrest, and if there should be any attempt to take-such per- son from the, custody.of an officer, he shall re sist such attempt, calling to his aid any force that may be necessary -to maintain the authori ty of the United States, and render such teals ante effectual. JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal-General A New Privateer. Captain Dillingham, of the Snow Squall, which arrived at New York hist Tuesday, from Penang, reports : JULY 28th, lat. 83.05 S., long. 15.45 E., Cape Good Hope, bearing S. E. by E. half E. distant 160 miles, 31 o'clock P. nz., made a sail ahead, with which we came up very rapidly ; soon made her out to be a barque standing the same course as ourselves, under whole topsails. we having royal and topmast studding.sails set. Set our ensign, which was answered by the American ensign. We ran under her lee to speak her; as we approached her we observed no name ou her stern, which aroused our sus picions. We were soon hailed, "where from and bound," which having answered, we asked, "what ship," and received for reply, "heave to and I'll send a boat alongside of you," to which we promptly replied, "ay, ay." At this moment her three starboard ports were opened and as many guns run out, and upon us, we being about a ship's length from her. Of course we were, now fully aware of the character of the stranger, and having a smart ship under foot, were fully resolved to surrender 'only when the last hope otescape was gone. Requesting my, wife to return to the cabin, I ordered the helm hove up , and all possible sail, toade ; the stranger, now'observing our'movements; fired a blank shot at us-, which, having no effect, was soon followed by a solid shot, which fell short about thirty feet; at the same time the Confederate flag took the place of the Stars and Stripes. We now shot ahead of her, when she wade sail as fast as possible, and gave chase after us. - It soon became but too apparent that she was too light for us, being in good ballast trim, while we were very deep, the wind in the mean time becoming .lig,hr and unsteady, with every prospect of a calm. We therefore, on consul. tation, deemed it' advisable to lighten the ship as the only possible chance of escape, and im mediately stove several casks of water and hove overboard a considerable quantity of heavy provisions, and then reluctantly sacrificed a small portion of the cargo. At about six o'clock the chase swung broadside. to and fired a shot at us, but without effect, and then continued the abase. Soon after this, finding we were distancing him, we desisted .from lightening the ship, all hands uniting in thanks to God, / for his gracious deliverance. The barque was 'about 400: tons, evidently Eastern built, and quite new; had carved work on her stern, surmounted by an eagle; cabin on deck, set in half-poop. In her present trim she is very, fast, and few are the India ships that can outsail her. She was thoroughly dis guised as a merchantman, having her ports closed and her fore-royal down, as is quite com mon for vessels doubling the 'Cape,' and stand ing to the northwest, that vessels might the more readily overtake her. I may remark that we each kept an ensign flying while daylight lasted. September 1, lat. 21 23, long. 65 5. 4 P. M., made a steamer .to the S. W., appa rently standing to the S. W., under steam only. Directly after she made. all sail and hauled by the wind, heading about north, evidently desir ing to communicate with us. .Not fancying his movements we hauled by the wind under all sail. At sunset she was about six wiles off on our lee beaus, and thought ,she had the ap. pearance of a British' wail steamer, yet as, her movements were -suspicious,• feared lest.'he in tended cutting. us off. As, soon as,darkness obscured our movements, we stood in another direction and soon lost sight of him. Proclamation of the President. Washington, Sept. 14, 1863.—WHEREAS, The Constitution of the United States of America has ordained that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus,shill not be suspend ed unless, when in cases of Rebellion or inva sion, the public safety may require it; and whereas, a Rebellion was existing on the 3d day of March, 1863, which Rebellion is still existing; and whereas, by a statute, which Was approved on that day, it was enacted by the Sen .., ate and House of Representatives in Congress assembled that, during the present insurrection, the President of the United States, Whenever in his judgment the public safety may require, is authorized to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in any case throughout the United States or any part thereof; and whereas, in, the judg went of the President of the United Statei the public safety does require that the privilege of the said writ shall now be suspended through out the United States, the Military, naval; and civil officers of the United' States, or any of , them hold persons nnder,their command or in their castady, either a's prisoners of war, spies, or, aideri or abettors of thteemy, or officers, soldiers or seamen, enrolled, Trafted, or muster ed or enlisted in, or belonging to the. land or naval officer of the United States, or as deser ters therefrom, or otherwise answerable to will , tary law, et' the rules and articles of war, or the rules or regulations prescribed for the milt- tart' or naval service, by authority of the Presi dent of the United States, or for resisting a draft, or any other offenses against the military or naval service; Now, therefore, I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States, do hereby pro claim and make known to all, whom it may con cern, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is suspended throughout the United States in the several cases'befoi:e mentioned, and this suspension will continue throughout the duration of said Rebellion or until ths'Procla 'nation shall, by a subsequent one, to be issued by the Presidentof the United States, be wodi tied or revoked.

Persons cultivating fruit should examine his orchards. Male and Female Seminary.—We sell es pecial attention to the advertisement of Rev. Joust( S. Loose, who intends to open. on Monday, October sth, a first class Seminary at Greencastle. Instruc tion will be given in all the branches taught in the best schools of this country. ltjr. Lopse is an able and experienced leacher, and wax, we believe, of the widely known institution at 'Mechanicsburg. Pa. He has secured the assistance of an excellent teach er of Music and other ornamental branches. It is high time that Grepncastle sh,,uld boast of at least one select school. We trust the Principal may meet with the management he deserve'. Newspaper Law.—As there is certain de finite laws in relation tO`the rights of publishers of newspapers, which do not seem to be understood, we will endeavor to make a plain synopsis of them and solicit attention thereto. 1. A Postmaster is required to give notice by let ter. (returning a paper dOes not answer the law) when-a • subscriber does not• tnke • his 'paper out of the office, and state .the reasons for it no: being taken ; and a neglect to do so makes the Postmaster responsible to-the publisher for the'payment. • 2. Any person who takes a paper from the post office—whether directed to his, name or, another, or whether he has saisarited or not, is restioneible for the pay. 3. If a person orders his paper discqntinued, he must: pay all arreirages publisher may cea• tinue to send it until paynient is ,. made: and collect the whole amount whether. it. is,takep from Or office or not. There can be no legal cliscouthimancs until the payment is made. 4. If the subscriber .orders, hie piper to be stop ped at a certain time and the ,putd,isher.centinues to send, the subscriber is bound in p ay for it if he takes iv out of the' iffee: Niue prekeeils on the ground that a man must payi for what.he uses. 5. The , courts , have decided , that ,refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the post office, nr removing and leaving them oriCalled for, is prima facia evidence of liiientional fraud.
