The Mastering of the District Militia into
the Federal Service
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE general excitement
the Volunteer Militia of the District, to be muster
ed into the Federal service has abated: and TO-DAY
four or five more companies marched to the War
Department and took the Army oath, namely
bear true allegiance to the United States, and
serve them honestly and faithfully against all their
enemies and opposers whomsoever, and observe
and obey the orders of the President of the United
States, and the officers appointed over them, ac-
cording to the rules and articles for the govern
ment of the Armies of the United States"
Previous to taking this oath, the volunteers
informed that the obligation for three months,
unless they were sooner discharged, and an oppor-
tunity was given to such might wish to retire.
But as the men came there purposey to be muster
ed in, they assumed the obligation accordingly
They now understand that they cannot be ordered
beyond the limits of the District of Columbia and
will not be continuously on duty as guards to the
armories and public buildings, etc. Not quite two
hundred were accepted yesterday, but five hun
cred altogether will doubtless be mustered in dur
ing the day. Army overcoats have been plentiful
ly distributed among them.

NEW system OF RAnwAY.-The Paris correspon.
dent of one of the London journals states that an
experiment of a system of railway was made
at Compeigne short time ago, and met with the
greatest success in the opinion of the many per-
sons who assembled to witness it. The inventor is
said to be poor wheelwright, whose ambition has
not extended beyond that of facilitating field labor
This railway consists of series of rails fitting
one in the other like succession of ladders laid
fat the ground; these the carts roll quietly
along, let them be ever so heavily laden. One pc
culiar advantage claimed for this system is, the
facility with which the rails are laid down and
taken up. 10 one hour hundred metres NAV be
planted. The experimental rail was seventy five
centimetres in width. The carts filled with pro-
duce, whether pushed or drawn by one person,
were of one cubic metre, and moved with the great
est ease.

CHARACTER OF WoMEN's MEN.-Some one, who
wrote over one hundred years ago, maintained
that the womans man is person in his air and
behavior quite different from the rest of our spe-
cies,-his garb is more loose and negligent; his
manner more soft and indoent; he is very knowing
in all that passes from one family to another;
man of good understanding is never a general ia
.vorite-some singularity in his behavior, some
whim in his way of ife-what would have made
him ridiculous among the men, recommends him to
the other sex; the woman's man is remarkable for
dressing unlike the rest of the world; he passes his
days in an insipd assduity about the fair sex; he
must have the reputation of being wellwth others,
for there is mighty ambition among the light
part of the to gain slaves from the dominion of
others. Let say again that this assault upon
women'S men was written over a century back
clear away in the dark ages. Things are different
now None but men of sense are in favor among
the gentle sex. There were queer people in those
days; but we are, in our happy time, free of them.
