military telegraph has reyer for an hour
been allowed to remain in the rear. Be
fore reaching his new headquarters, Gen.
Mcclellan almost invariable learns that the
wire is on the advance; that an Office has
already been opened at the point designa-

communication TO the War Department at
Washington is open for him. In several
instances, when the army had marched if
teen miles in one day, the telegraph had
reached the new quarters two hours in adj

Anthony TfalIope On american Women.

Anthony Trolope, who, il will be re-
inembered, paid Milwaukee visit while in
this country, has published new book Of
Travels in the States, and thus charges
American women with disagreeableness.-
it must be acknowledged by all that his re-
marks in this particular are "tinctured
with truth"
Observation-Disclosures oF AMERICAN WOMEN.
The first Of these points which Mr.. Troll
loppe has in this way made bis own, is the
intense disagreeableness Of the ordinary
American women. Other writers have
limited at it, but no writer has so feelingly
and so explicitly dwelt on the insolence, the
domineering vulgar audaciiy, Of the usual
virtuous female Of the States. The women
drove Mr.. Trollope out Of the omnlbuses
and almost ont of the streets Of New York.
He complains that it is impossible too see
that city with any comfort. There are no
cabs; the distances are too great to walk;
and the omnibuses, the fayorite vehicle Of
the natives, expose the sensitive English
man to the presence of the women-the
odious, affected, prudish usurpers OF every
comfort and convenience "The woman /
describe" says Mr.. Trollope, sis ferocious
in her propriety." She ignores tn, whole
world around her, and as she sits with
raised chin, and face dattcned by affecta-
sion. she pretends to declare aloud that
the is positively not aware that any man is
near her," But this is not the worst
A patient man may stand being ignored
but there are things that will try him much
more severely:
"She looks square at you in the face,
and you rise to give her your seat. She
takes the place without word or a bow.
SHE twists herself round, banging your
shins with her wires, while her chin is still
raise and her face is still fattened, and she
directs her friends atten ton to another
seated man, as though that place were also
vacant and necessarily at her disposal"

The San Francisco Bulletin says:
"There can be no doubt, we think, of the

from New Orleans, there was a funeral in
the city, and the coffin was deposited, after
the usual ceremonies. in a tomb. From

of death of the person which it was said

ECO Of the worst things we hear
from the South is that the crops are in q
bad way, and do not promise to yield more
than half the usual amount. There will
