A word to the wise is sufficient. Important from Washington. We learn from Washington, that information has been received at the State Department, of an expedition fitting out at the South, to operate on Cuba or at Tampico. One of the Washington papers states that five hundred men of this expedi- tion, are already on some island in the Gulf of Mexico, ready for ummediate service. This in- | telligence, it will be recollected, was shadowed | forth ina letter from one of our correspondents, and published in the Herald a few days ago. Progress of Fashion in the United States— Men Milliners and the Millentum—Fancy Ballsand Philosophy. Itis sometimes very entertaining and very use- ful to make a little excursion into the domain of | history. We do so this morning. We go backa whole year in the history of fashion in these United States. On the first page of our journal we re-produce a singularly interesting era in the annals of fashionable life. Our readers are thus enabled to compare the past with the present. The meanest capacity can in this way trace the progress of ion for twelve mortal months, as easily as a chirurgeon watches the rise of a boil, or a vege- table gardener traces the growth of a cabbage. A year ago, they gave a magnificent, astounding, superb, elegant, delightful fancy ball at Saratoga: In a day or two, they give another, which is to be still more magnificent, astounding, superb, elegant and delightful. this day—the report of the other will appear in our columns before another week has expired. So, we certainly do our duty in the way of enabling this generation to compare the past with the pre- sent, and get a perfect surfeit of wisdom. We confess that we await, with no little anxiety, the result ef the grand preparations now in progress at far-famed Suratoga. It can hardly be doubted world of America has made tremendous strides towards absolute perfection. Since the last ball at or three costumers happy, many strange things have occurred on the face of this earth. Thrones have been overturned, and kings and princes have been driven forth, outeests and vagabonds. Na- tions have been born in a day. ‘The blood of thou- and bedewed many a plain. Europe has undergone the throes and agonies of a new birth. The world beyond the Atlantic is, at this very moment, con- vulsed and shaken to its centre. We have not been idle here in America. Our great men have been very busy. Whule we write, they are busy at Saratoga and at Newport. la Europe, statesmen and heroes are revolutionizing tystems of government; in the United States of America, they are regulating flounces and fur- belows. This is a serious business. We have, In this land, attained the highest pmnacle of republican excellence. Our form of government is perfectly complete. Every man, woman and child, inhales the air of freedom. But we want polish—so say the oracles of taste and refinement. We are some- what vulgar—so say the e/egantes who rule the roost at Saratoga. Even Massa Greeley is oppressed by a e of our want of aristocratic refinement, for he has commenced a series of lectures on good manners at watering-places, and threatens the most de: rate chastise ment unless we pay more attention to good breeding and decency. But the great reformer, Mr. James Brooks, member of Congress elect, from this city—he is a perfect Lamartine in mullie nery—the Ledru Rollin of perraquiers and fancy costumers. Last year, as will be seen from the re- port which we republish, Mr. Brooks was zealously engaged in the same field. He returns to it now with enlarged experience, fresh ideas, new suggestions, and absolutely boing enthusiasm. Brooks is a perfect martyr in the sacred cause of fashion. What to him are the results of the recent elec- tions t Is his spirit to be disturbed by visions of evil at next session of Congress? No—no. Brooks understands the age. He has fathomed the swollen current of passing events; he knows what's what. bull dogs fancy that this isan age of the world in which the minds of menare emancipating them- selves from the errors and prejudices of the past ; and in which humanity, aroused to a consciousness of its own strength, is gurding iteclt fora final and decisive struggle with the powers of darkness and despotism. But Broekslooks a little farther ahead. His millenivm is a millenium of millinery. Brooks gives a new reading to the motto— “Homa sum, nihil a me ationum puto * We translate it: “I am a man-milliner, and nothing that relates to millinery can be indifferent to me !" Brooks has gone to Saratoga—he has, He will give the whole world an account of the grand Brooks will be there faney ball—he will. im: self—that he will. In what character? That jof en old lady, of course, who knows every mystery of the toilette—understands every hook and eye—is up to all tricks of the mon- tuamaker—and can calculate toa fraction the cost of every costume, from that of a Swies peasant girl, with very secant petticoats, up to that of a Sultana, with thick encles, and an extravagant dieplay of dinmonds end lace. With what buraing anxiety the whole world of fashion must await the bulletins of the second “ Admirable Crichton” of feshion and millinery—this Mr. James Brooks, member of Congress elect from the metropolis of | thie wonderful nation! Then there is Greeley— j the accomplished, decent, amiable, polished Massa He, too, will doubtless figure at the grand fancy ball. He will represent the great un- washed, and open his batteries on all the poor < wesherwomen of doomed Saratoga. What am nificent aflair this grand fancy bail will be, to be sure! Our arrangements for reporting this wonderful | fete are very perfect, and will enable us to give an \‘account of all the incidents, characters, dresses, | and ce on, m advance of all our contemporaries.

Talk of revolutions in Europe—what are they, compared to the progress of fashion in this glo- rious republic? We hold our breath in earnest anticipation of the next news from crowded, dusty, fashionable, beautiful, charming Saratoga ! Summary. Our telegraphic despatches furnish us with the painful news of the serious illness of Gen. Tay- lor. After arriving at Carlisle, he was suddenly taken ill while holding a public levee at the Court House; his symptems were vomiting and diarrhoea; he was very anxious to proceed on his tour, but was restrained by the advice of Dr. Wood. We wait, with painful anxiety, for further intelligence. Our election returns, by telegraph, are rather meagre. The returns from Tennessee are all in, with the exception of eight counties. The result tor mem. bers of the Legislature, it is supposed, will bea tie on joint ballot ‘In Alabama, H. W. Hilltard (whig) is re-lected by a considerable majority. It is reported, also, that Alston (whig) is elected. In Kentucky, Marshall (whig), has been return. ed to Congress from the 7th district, and not Lane, (dem.) as previously announced. Our despatches furnish us with interesting intel- ligence from the Western Plains, from Canada, &e., &e. The Tour of the President—His Health, &e, Hanuissvna, August 13, 1849, ‘The President yesterday had a severe attack of diarr- hea, which rendered it doubtful whether he would be able to proceed on his tour. He has, however, nearly recovered, and started this morning, at 7 o'clock, for Carlisle. Although the diarrhea has nearly left him, he {s yet somewhat weak. SECOND DESPATCH Hannisnunc, August 13, 1849, Gen, Taylor left here this morning, at 7 o'clock, for Carliele,from which place he will take the train te Pittsburgh. During the Prosident’s stay in this place, he was waited upon by all classes of our citizens, whom the General received with his usual courtesy. ‘The rev. clergy paid him their respects in a body. THIRD DESPATCH. Cantisce, (Pa.,) Ang. 12, 1849, General Taylor was taken ill on his arrival here, but it was suppoeed that prompt medical aid would enable him te proseed to Chambersburg. FOURTH DESPATCH. Canisex, (Pa.,) Aug. 13, 1849. President Taylor was taken a few moments since with vomiting, while receiving friends at the Court House, and is now in bed at the residemce of Judge Watts. He has bad diarrhea, which was stopped this morning, but the symptoms are again very bad. It is doubtful whether he will leave this place to-day. His reception bere was most enthusiastic. After he has recovered, should he feel better, he will proceed to Chambersburg this afterneon; otherwise he will remain here. FUWTH DESPATCH. Canuiste, Monday, Aug. 13. I write, at 1 o'clock, P.M., and the President is easier, He says that if he can have rest he will recover. Revivat or Iravtan Orgxa.—The new enter- prize of Mr. Marshall, at the Broadway Theatre, has been, thus far, entirely successful. Last night this theatre presented the most brilliant coup d’eil ever witnessed in any place of amusement in the city. The house was filled in every part, and the performances, both opera and ballet, went off with the greatest éclat. Italian opera is, we have every reason to believe, is now established on a vetter basis than ever in metropolis. Death of Albert Gallatin. The decease of this remarkable man and eminent statesman took place on Sunday last, at Astoria, in the 89th year of his age. His name is linked inseparably with the history of the American republic, almost from its cradle, He was one of the founders ot the old democratic republican party, and signalized himself in Congress by his opposition to the administration of Washington, and subsequently of John Adams. He was born at Geneva, in Switzerland, in January, 1761, He was left an erphan at an early age; but under the care of a kind relation of his mother, he was ena- Died to take his degree in the university of that city, in 1779, One of his teachers was the illustrious Muller, and one of his classmates Dumont, the friend of the great Mirabeau. In one year after he graduated, be emigrated to the United States. He arrived at Boston on the 14th of July, 1780. He had a letter of introdué- tion from the celebrated Rochefaucault to Franklin. Soon after his arrival he proceeded to the State of Maine, where he served as a volunteer under Colonel John Allan, Commander of the fort of Machias. In 1782, he was elected Professor of the French language in the University of Harvard. This he left, soon after, for the South, and became acquainted, among other public men, with Patrick Henry. In 1784 he acquired large tracts of land in Virginia, where he had intended to fix his permanent residence. ‘Troubles among the Indians, and other causes, induced him to abandon this intention, and he settled in Pendsylvania, He was elected in the fall of 1789 a member of the Convention “to amend the constitution of Pennsylvania, and be united himself with the democratic party. He op- posed the system of intermediate electors for Presi- dent, and favored universal suffrage without dis- tinction of color, Im 1790 he was was elected mem- ber of the House of Representatives of the State, end continued to be re-elected till 1793, when he was chosen U. 8, Senator. His election was contested on the round of defective citizenship, on which occasion the te aod pie of his birth transpired.

He is desirous deliberations of that body were for the ficst time open tothe public. His great abilities were even then con- spicuous, and gave promise of what he afterwards per- formed on the political stage. Mr. Gallatin returned to Fayette county in 1794, after an absence of eighteen months, during which pe- riod, or immediately after, he married a daughter of Commodore Nicholson, a’ distinguished officer of the revolutionary war, Shortly after bie return, broke forth the famous of getting out of the lime-stone country, the water hurts him. he thinks Preparations forthe Reception of General Taylor, &.

Hilliard, the regularly nominated whig candidate for Congress, 200 majority over J. L. Pugh, the independent whig candidate. [This county gave. at the last Presidential election, 1,176 votes to General Taylor, and 669 votes to General county, about fifty miles from his residence, out of the forcible resistance to the serving of writ: ainst dis- tillers who bad not paid the excise.
