The tendency will be frightfully strong, in all
ambitious women, TO celibscy with its vices, or
to marriage with the nsmeless shames which shall
prevent maternity. The women-reformers are
hard after a success which will forbid maternity
in all who aspire to reach it.
Specimen women entering public life at fifty,
and reaching success, involve no such difficulty
and prove nothing. Venerable women, grand
in war with wrong, whose pablic lives began
after their children were well reared, boast their
homes, and prove, splendid as they are. the
glory of the developing power of maternity.
This difficulty out OF the way. and one little
one beside, that about Paul and Paul's Inspirer,
and there shall be one more enthusiastic woman's

We observe that Mr.. Seymour, Of the LSCrosse
Republican, is mentioned in connection with
the nomination for Congress from the Sixth Dis
trict, next fall, in place Of Mr.. Washburn, who
declines reelection. If ability and jealous SER
vices in the ranks entitle a man to any conside-
ration up in that district, Charley would bear
off the prize triumphantly, for no man in the

the Republican cause, through evil and good re-
port, than himself Gd-ei:s

We heartily concur in what the Gazette says
Mr.. Seymour is an abler man than very many
who are sent to Congress, and he has been q
most efficient worker in the Republican ranks,

GEN THOMAS IN BATTLE-Gen J. B. Stead
man, who served much under Gen. Thomas and
had exceptionally good opportunities of observ-
ing his characteristics, differs from those who
have described Thomas as calm and equable
even in battle, and declared that his courage
was persistent rather than enthusiastic. He
said in speech at Toledo, o., the other day
Most of those who have written or spoken
about Gen. Thomas call him modest, but not
brilliant. In this respect think that great in
iustice has been done to his character. He was
the most modest man | ever saw, prudent, re-
served, wise in council. careful in all the detail.
in preparation for battle, hut once in the fight
he was as furious and impetuous as Gen. Jack
son. He lacked nothing to make perfect man
No man ever impaired so much enthusiasm to
his troops, and never saw commander whc
could hurl at any enemy the entire force Of his
army with such violence as Gen. Thomas.
