Mr. Burt arrived here last evening, from Fort Mackay. Mr. B. has been engaged in collecting various tribes of Indians at Fort Mackay, and some 3,000 would be assembled there. There were five different tribes represented:—The Cheyencs, Kiowaa, Camanches, Arapa- hoes, and one other tribe, all of whom seem well disposed towards us. Major Fitzpatrick, for whom they are waiting, was met at Craw Creek. Mr. Burt says these Indians will decline meeting the Commissioners at Fort Laramie, this summer, where it was intended to hold a grand convocation of all the tribes in that region. Mr. Burt did not meet Colonel Sumner's command of troops. He learned they were on the route, but pro- ceeding very slowly, In consequence of the prevalence of the cholera among them. ight or ten were dying daily, and numbers were deserting. It was stated that two surgeons of the command had died of tho disease. ‘The name of Mr, Kennedy is the only one recollected. ‘The trains of the traders were in @ similar condition, the cholera having appeared among them, and the teamsters had deserted in the general panic. ‘The Mississippi river is still reo very slowly.

Notwithstanding the unqualified approval given bya portion of the press for the umiversal adoption of the Turkish costume by the young women of America, it is an incontrovertible fact that those who have hitherto exhibited themselves in our fashionable thoroughfares, decked in the new style of dress, are fenrales of very questionable character. Every night and evening, for the last week, some of these nymphs have perambulated Broadway, the Bowery, and others of the most frequented streets; and, from their lascivious airs and bold atti- tudes, the class to which they belong can be easily di- vined, No virtuous female, who appreciates that re- tiring modesty and unassuming grace which cam alone adorn her sex, and elevate her in the eyes of the moral and good, would venture out, unaccompanied and un- protected, in the most densely crowded thoroughfares of New York, bedecked in agarb which renders her the conspicuous object of rude and obscene comment by the licentious and vulgar—the theme of disgust and con- tempt by those who are capable of estimating woman by those unmistakable qualities which are the true sym- bols of a chaste mind and moral bearing. If a style of dress, originating with loose morals and a desire to attract the gaze of the multitude, is to usury the place of that for ages worn by the mothers and deughters of America, as well as by the female portion of every other part of the civilized and refined world, we are much mistaken in our estimation of the good sense apd moral character of the present generation of Amcri- can women. Probably there is not one in the whole ca' of th retent-day humbugs that has a more demoralizing ten- ency than the attempted revolution in female dress; and, viewing it in that light. we feel it our duty.to expos to public censure every new exhibition of such diagust- ing and luring displays on our public thoroughfares, as ie dangerous to good morala, and subversive of virtu. cus sentiments in the minds of both males and females, ‘Lhe actions of two young dames who paraded Broadway and Hudson street on ‘Thursday afternoon, were suffi- cient to make virtue reeoil from the contemplation of such revolting scenes. One of them was encased in a loose frock coat, that came down to the knees, with loose leggings tied round the ancles. in the full Chinese fashion. The coat. and pantaloona were of maroon color. She wore a large gipsey hat, decorated with costly rib- bens, and carried a slender white cane in her hand, which she twirled in the sir with all the bold confidence and self conceit of the most vaingl+rious Broadway fop The other, though dressed ina similar style, seemed rather to rhrink from public view, while her companion, by hor looks, aire, and gestures, studied to attract the attention of all who passed her. Such isa faithful description of one of the New York ladies that have adopted the new costume, so much lauded by the fanatical and unprin- cipled of both sexes, whose alm is to subvert the fonnda- tion of order, deceney, and rectitude; and if this detesti- ble movement is not crushed in the germ. by the press and by public opinion, we may soon expect to see ycung women, not only with frock coats. pantaloons, and silver- headed canes, parading Broadway, but also puffiag eegars. and in every other way assuming the exteraal peculiarities thet characterise the swells of the opposite tex, To such young men as the “ Student of Nature,” who at- tempted to lecture in Hope Chapel on Wednesday evening, we would offer a few words o1 an admonition. If they cannot find employment in New York more useful and more in accordance with the design of their creator than to dictate to an audience what manner of dress the women of America should wear, let them go among tar farmers, and learn to hoe potatoes and mow hay, or be- take themrelves to the wilderness with their axe upon their shoulders, by either of which means they can turn their exertions so some honorable account, both for their own gocd and that of their country. OUR BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE. Bacrimone, June 14. 1851, Our city, especially the female portion of it, was thrown into great excitement yesterday afternoon, by the ap- pearance on Baltimore street, of a female dressed in a complete suit of the Bloomer or Turkish dress, The material of which it was composed, was pea-green silk, and the tunic extended to the knees. The trowsers were made of (be same material, with a band around tho ankle, and a neat fitting gaiter boot on as fine a specimen of foot and ankle as ever appeared on Baltimore street, Sbe wore a Jenny Lind hat, with a profusion of curls, and the body of ber dress had a rolling collar, discloa ing @ beautiful worked chimisette, with standing collar: and piaid silk *kereblef. There is no mistaking the fact that she presented a most charming appearance, at once neat and modest, and was universally admired. She parred up and down the street with the eyes of thousands upon her, accompanied by a female in the long skirt dresa and flounces, by way of comparison. apparently tak- ing no notice of the excitement she was producing ; but on her turning down South street and into Lovaly lane, the whole matter was understood aran advertisement for ‘one of the fancy establishments in that locality, [From the Borton Traveller, June 12.
