Are not all fools, incredible as tho
statement may appear, on first blush
In Charlostown, particularly, they seen
to have an idea of their absurdity, ant
to very heartily despise the military who
occupied their town during Browns
trial and execution. The following
coarse satire upon those
"1Iouths without hands, maintained at vast expense,
In war charge, Ia peace a weak defense"
was posted on the street corners, tho
night before Brown was hung, and ez
cited much laughter among the citizens
PROCLAMATION
Whereas, Charlestown is now held by
military force, and its citizens kept
prisoners in their own domicils. And
lchaeas, there are numerous reports
proclamations, fzzles and other divers
fuzzy-guzzys, issued by the Governor,
commanding and chief officers, as well
as other small "toOt-horns" of the same
kind by the Assistant Prosecuting At
torney, and the Mayor, Sheriff, &c,
Now, be it known by the citizens of
Charlestown and its vicinity, that /
Gen. Fugo Tumblebug, by virtue Of the
authority vested in me by Lieut.. Com,
mon Sense, do hereby issue the follow.
ing order.
The soldiers, for fear of an attack by
Browns men, will remain in their bar.
racks, as in case they expose themselves
on the streets, they may run the risk
of being hurt.
The General commanding, the May.
ors, Attorneys, Colonels, Majors, Cap.
tains, Lieutenants and CorpOrals being
moro numerous than the rank and file
and, therefore, of more consequence
are hereby particularly warned to re.
main in their quarters, as in case of
attack, especially during the night, the
citizens, who are able and willing to de.
fend the town from all attacks, either
by Browns men or anybody else, may
be incommoded in the performance Of
their duties. All of the above men
toned houorablos will be arrested anC
court-martialed if found disregarding
this order.
Citizens of the State Of Virginia anC
of the Southern States, and the we'll
disposed citizens of the Northern States
are requested so visit our town as here
tofore, and they will be protected by thu
citizens, from the insults of the mush
room, corn-stalk military now quartereC

Citizens Of the town will hereafter b,
allowed to pass to their houses and place

Study Elegance of Expression.

Among other rules which a father
submitted to his son for his guidance
through life was that which heads this
paragraph. Unfortunately, few of us
take the trouble to express ourselves in
well-constructod sentences, and yet it is
quite as easy to use correct as it is in
correct words when we desire to give
form to our emotions. How often do
we hear persons, who cannot plead ig-
nOrance as an excuse for their derelic-
tions, declare when they are fatigued,
that they care tired to death." This
expression-which is meant to be forci-
ble-is not only vulgar but impotont,
inasmuch as it does not convey what the
utterer intends. How often do ladies de-
clare with uplifted hands that they are
Enlightened to DEATH" or, if their shoes
are large for their feet, they are a mile
too long" or their hats are ga world
too large
We might fill a column with tho in
elegant phrases which are heard in all
classes of society. 1t is a pity that the
English tongue should be thus prosti-
tuted Were it a language from which
it would be difficult to Gull words to ex-
press our feelings or convey our ideas,
there would be some excuse for what we
may with proprioty denounce as "unli-
censed vulgarity," but as it is exceed,
ingly copious, full of beautiful words,
