Anythings.
Sharpstein & Lathrop have re-purchased
the Milwaukee Press and Ne,os office and
are driving away in favor of the American
Government and against the Republican
party. Tho Press and Neus was in able
hands when Beriah Brown was its editor;
We expect to see no abatement in the
strength or interest of its columns now.
Charley Wright, the excellent Local is re-.
tanned to get up spicy articles, attend we'd
dings and other agreeable parties and to
introduce his editorial friends of the rural
districts to the best company in Milwaukee.
....A great number of the regular army
officers are resigning because of the promo.
ton of politicians over them. The ineffi-
cheney of the Grand Army is complained
of by many leading journals and to these
promotions its weakness may be attribute
bic. -. Hutchins of the Des Moincs Jour-
nal says Jesse Clement of the Dubuque
Times uses the word "babclet" If that is
all Jesse has coined, the word will do no
harm. =. .INGERsoLL ('Linkensale'O Of the
Iosca Reporter is in Washington writing
interesting letters to his paper. We like
Links style. The DEBORAH Republic con-
tains the Grafton Of G.. II. Stevens, ESQ.
George writes 'llke book" his speech is
most excellent one. Pamela Cunning
ham is one of the Vice Regents of the Mt.
Vernon Association. She resides near the
tomb and is pronounced 'seccssionist."
.Brownson's (Catholic) Review at st.
Louis is very decided in condemning seccs-
sion: his opinion is of no great account on
anything-therc is scarcely any position in
politics or religion that he has not espoused
and abandoned i. i. :. Gen. Fremont has the
Western Division of the Army and will be
located at st. Louis. Russell of the Lon
don Times states that he never had any
letters opened by the Southern people. -. .
The comet now on exhibition at McGre.
gor and other leading places is supposed to
be the one Of 1864 and 1856. . The Mes
sage is set up very high by the admirers of
the President. One thing is true : it is the
composition Of Abraham almost without a
scratch @ 1t is very simple in style, as
good probably as though it were more or
nate, direct to the point and as common
place, as supervisors report to town
board. We find no fault with its make up;
it does not disappoint us a bit; the essen
tials of Message arc all there and that is
enough. .. Prentice says General Price of
Missouri has too loose a system of dscip-
line to inspire confidence in his men. I. E. In
New York recently two women got into
fight and one bit off the others car.
The New York Times calls the Message
small affair, net at at all up to the demands
OF the great occasion. The Times and
Tribune are both jealous of the Cabinet,
the President, Gen. Scott or somebody else
in that neighborhood. :. The Dubuque
Times says the Chickasaw Volunteers will
arrive at that place on Wednesday (o-day)
on their road to Burlington. Sen. Powers,
A. j. Felt, L. A. Haskell, D. Babcock and
other prominent men are recruits. The
enlistment Of Felt and Haskell slightly
surprises us; it would trouble bullet to
hit either of them: however, Bony him
self was called the "Little Corporal
Small men arc ambitious MIR. Greedy
informs the world that ''the Republicans
prefer their principles to fifty Unions"
We do not believe this at all, though signs
out West indicate that some of them prefer
the offices ito any ''Union for the sake of
the Union" ave are all mo,tal.'
