This substance treezes at about forty degrees Fabrenheit, and when in the solid state explodes merely by being rubbed, on which aecceunt it is impossible to reduce it to smaller pieces by crushjng or striking it.

SENATE.—Yesterday afternoon, amend- mentot the Senate to the Military Sill, non- concurred im by the House, wae debated at con- siderable length, when the Senate insisted upon its amendments, and at ten utes past five o'clock took a recess until hal: past seven. At the evening session, Mr. Wilson called up & bill to abolish and fi Tr prohibit the tem of peonage in New Mexico. It makes the holding of any person in a state of peonage in New Mexico, or in other Territory, apenal offence, punis! @ by fine of SI,00. and imprisonment from one to five years. Pasred.

It provides that regular officers shall have dy brevet the highest rank they held as volu.teers; and that in compnt- ing their time of cervice the time they served As volunteers shail be counted. Passed. Mr. Wilson csiled up a bill for the relief of certain arafted men. It provides that the Sec- retary ot War shall pay to men who, having put substitutes into the service, were again Grafted and entered the service. As passed by the House it gave $300 instead of $100.

Mr. Maynard, trom the committee on con- ference on the House bili fixing the compensa- uon of bailiffs and criers in the District of Co- lumbia, made a report; which was agreed to. The point in dispute was on a section in reference to notaries public—the Senate wish. ing to retain the provision of the present law, which limits the number to twenty-five. The committee of conference concurred in that view of the Senate. The House then proceeded te the censidera- tion in the morning hour (commencing at three e’clock) of the bill to provide for organizing, arming, and equiping the militia. Mr. Harding, of Illinois, member of the Committee on the Militia, explained and ad- vocated the bill. The bill consists of thirty-six sections.

Mr. Lafiin expiained the reason for the Senate amendments making the printer elec- tiye by thatbody. The Senate being the more stable body it was thought proper that it should bave the election.

The message from the Senate, aunouncing that it insisted on its amendment to a vo provide a more efficient government for the Tebel States was then (half past nine) taken from the Speaker’s table and read.

Unejof the principal ef a fancy de- ecription, is the embroidered silk taille. the patterns of which are bouquets of a lively shade of silk on white satin, producing very rich effect. Satin 1s, per ercelience, the material or tull toilet, either for ceremonial visits or evening dress. Striped velvets are much im tavor. Amber iss very favorite color for fall Gress; but of course it cannot be worn by ta- dies of a fair complexion. For walking cos- ‘ume black is still tbe favorite, thougd many cloth, or of violet or eseen. Aithough the still worn tor morning prome- bade, it is principally confined to qu t young girls, and 38 scarcely admissible tor visiting drees. A very few have been seen for fail drees, but we may say the trained skirt is al- mort indispensadie. The make of dresses tends more and more to the empire style, the bodies being so short that the skirt is nearly close up to the arm The bonnets worn fer visiting dress have not altered in shape since the commencement ofthe year, the artistic arrangements of the irimmings forming tbe principal charm. Take, for example, some of the newest models A bonnet of ligh' green velvet, rounded in front. Fiat erown and small curtain, the whole embroidered & beads, and trimmed feather fringe. The mnsidets ornamented Wiha magnolia in white velvet, with gold centre. Over the curtain wide guides satin worked with beads. Another, of bine eatin, embroidered in small pearl and crystal beads, trimmed with a wreath of small roses. Strings of moire. A white satin bonnet, (he same shape, was 'rimmed with an aigrette of teathers and small wreath of tinted leaves and jet ornaments. Strings of white motres with ‘others of lace worked with beads falling over them The new model known as the , Bretagne,” is rather pointed in front at the sides, rather in the “Mary Stuart”? style. It made of velvet or satin in lent shades. The crown is fiat. and the front hemsllonnes, trimmed with 4 Wleath of feathers, Axa atjthe side a small bouquet of feathers or velvet flowers. Very wide strings, to match the bonnet. An empire bonnet of bine velvet: the crown and front im plaite, fastened by a marrow passementerie Of white silk and beads. The edge is trimmed with a fringe of white fea- thers and lace. Blue satin strings A Graclosa, with flat crown of ponceau velvet, and narrow straight curtain embroidered with beads with s fringe of the same aliround. The front istrimmed with a pouff of black mara- bouts spotted with jet. Strings of pasceaw velvet and lace. Another, of Bismarck velvet, was trimmed with a wreath of ivy amd oraaments of jet. Stringe of moire the same color as the velvet, lined with white moire A very pretty Mary Stoart bonnet was made of white satin worked wi beads, and trim- med with a white feath the end of which fell over the pointin front. Strings of white satin, and bouquet of scarlet jeranium at the side. Black velvet bonvets are almost universally Worn for Morning dress, with biack strings, and very little trimming. The same style is also worn for visiting; but those for is of ceremony should be of colored velvet or satin, tr.mmed with beads and feathers or Mowers. THE VIRGINIA State Dewt.—The Rich- mond Enquirer of Monday saye: The greater pert of the Virginia Senate's jon on Satuar- dsy was consumed in discussing the bill to provide for the obligations of the State, Speeches made by Senators Keen, Lee and McRae, at considerable length. Early in the progress of the discussion a yote was taken on the crmgpecicerdl foc tore by Senator Lee, ond it was rejec receiving only one vote, The substitute proposed by Senator Mead re- ceived a similar fate. A proposition by Sena- tor Ould to make the rate of interest six per cent. from the date of resuming payments (on the two-thirds of the debt) instead of gradn- ling it irom four to seven per cent during the first ten years, received only four votes, because of the unwiflingness of the Senate to impoee & tax as high as thirty-five centson one bunéred deliars. But before arriving at any vote on the main merits of the question, the Senate adjourned.
