WoMEN.-The Milwaukee papers tell of
the organization Of corps Of female
Zouaves in that city who offer themselves
for drill with view to inspire the sterner
sex with martial fire. This is going too
far with the joke. The Zouave drill re-
qures such variety and Ito LADY, such
an absurdity of posturing- falling down at
full length, reversing, climbing on each 9TH
er's backs, pyramiding, &c.,--that no fe.
male can go through with the exercise with
out insulting the delcacy Of her nature, and
we regret to see Milwaukee papers give cur
rcncy to any such rumor relative to the la
dies of that city. Not sensible female of
Milwaukee desires so to unsex herself as to
don the half skirts and Turkish trowscrs, to
practice ground and lofty tumbling and to
play at military gymnastics merely "to be
seen and heard of men.
We defend the ladies of Milwaukee from
every insinuation that they are signing to
be anything but what God has made them
beautiful and modest women. WRIGHT
and POTTER, WHEELER and ROBERTS, will
assist us to correct the report that is trav.
cling abroad. Let New Orleans with her
desperadoes, male and female, have all the
glory Of raising regiment Of women.

Weather, Markets, DC.

Weather hot, windy, dry and dusty
signs of storm as we go to press Tuesday.
Market very slow and business not pro-
fitablc. Large deliveries of wheat but the
price is SO low as to cause much care in the

Lager Beer in McGrcgor with Wis. bills..-
There will probably be no resurrection.
The European prospect for an advance on
wheat is fair; it is said the cmancipated
Russian serfs won't work and that Russia
will have short crop Of grain. If peace
is conquered in three months, as some lead.
ing minds anticipate, grain and provisions
will be in demand in the South, but it is
not well to calculate on any improvement
in prices until October or November.
Wheat at McGregor has been Dough,
within few days as low as 80 cents! Or

the extreme prices. For very fine lot 81
cents were paid. People generally look

Tho Tribune.

Tho Tribune.
This paper (thc N. Y. article we mean,)
is daily branding somebody as ''traitor,"
"a seccssionist at heart" and all that sort
Of thing. TO be sure tie little 7,i5unes
and their smaller imitators throughout the
North are INDUCING in the same harmon;s-
ing @ work, but we care not to refer to the
small fry of the school. In another column
some notice is taken Of the peculiar notions
OF that singular man called GREELEY. We
are inclined to think this man is deranged.
In late issue he says: 1T is by no means
the specific duty nor the special interest
OF Republicans to maintain the Union."- -
AS interest in this case is assumed to be
duty he proceeds to say: "With the slave
states in the Union, the Democrats will pro-
badly rule three terms out of four; let
Secession become fixed fact and their
chances Of aseendancy will be materially
lessened."
The above doesn't need much comment.
If the leading organ Of the anti Democratic
party regards the spells Of Office above love
of country how much better arc those men
who sustain it than the secessionsts OF
Charleston. II the Tribune is any more
patriotic than the Charleston Mercury
will some one shcw us the difference in its
favor. When men can calmly sit down
and calculate how much loss the mainte-
nance of the Union is to their party hopes,
and decide with the latter, we think they
had as well stop talking Of the "construc-
tive treason of those who cease not to re-
greet the war but whose hearts are bound
up in the American Flag, and whose breasts
are barred to the bullets of the foe. If the
n. Y. Tribune expresses the sentiments Of
its readers (Which VIC do not belieye), they
should write to Jeff. Davis and encourage
him to proceed in his treason; if it does
not reflect their sentiments they should in.
dictate their dissent by return Of the trea.
sonablc sheet.
Freedom Of opinion is one thing, bu,
that freedom which authorizes men to brand
others with disloyalty to the Government
while themselves are filling the public mint
with dissension, insubordnation, and idea.
of party profit to be reaped from the sacri
flee Of the blood and treasure of their fellow
citizens, is certainly not the kind contem
plated in the ideas right minded persons
have Of devotion to the country.
