The Washington correspondent of one
of the morning papers informs US that the
German soldiers have christencd the rebel
earthworks back of Munson's Hill Fort
Skadaddlc."
For the benefit of future etymologists,
who may have dictionary to make when
the English language shall have adopted
''skadaddle' into familiar use by the side
Of employee and telegram we here
define the new term.
1t is at least an error of judgment, if
not an intentional unkindncss, to foist
''skadaddle' on our Teutonic soldiers, -
The word is used throughout the whole
army of the Potomac, and means ito cut
stick, " 'svamouse the rancho 'slope, /"
"cut your lucky" or "clcar ont" So
that Fort Skadaddle is equivalent to Fort
Runaway. y. Post.

SOM hing Tar Patriotic Farmers

Your country is involved in war; many
of your fellow citizens have forsaken their
peaceful associations and taken up arms
in defence of the Govern They have
left all, and are risking all, for their coun-
try and for you. Many of you are not in
condition to enlist IN the service, but all
of you can do something for the cause
And at this time there is no way in which
you can do SO much, aud in manner SO
consonant with the highest and hottest
feelings of humanity, as by contributing
OF your substance to relieve the necessities
of the families of the brave men who have
gone forth TO fight our battles. Many of
these families IN our very midst are IN
destitute circumstances, and are now liv-
ing in painful poverty under most harrass-
ing apprehensions of freezing and starving
during the approaching winter.
You farmers have wood and potatoes,
vegetables and grain in abundance. Do
not let the wives and children of our vol
unteers suffer from cola and hunger while
their husbands and fathers are shedding
their blood in your defence Take these
families Mnder your protection take the
charge Vi their welfare into your own
hands and see that they are amply pro
tected from the chilling cold of winter
and from the miserable cravings Of hun
ger.
Bring in, each Of you, load or two of
wood occasionally, especially for these
families, and when at any time you find
wood 'dull SALE on the street, let it be a
hint to you to give it to some destitute
family, whose natural protector is absent
fighting the battles of your country. And
every time you come to town put bag Of
potatoes, or of meal, or anything else edi
bic yon may have on hand, and bring it il
with you that the blessings of the poo
may follow you on your return, and be
come a shield to You and yours in time t,
come.
Gen. Btdgman is the Chairman of TIL
Relief Committee appointed by the citi

In taking charge Of your donations or in

has already exhausted the greater part {
subscription of FIVE thousand dollar
contributed by the citizens of Keckuk
and the demand Of still greater expendi
lures for the same benevolent purposes
growing more intense than ever. W
trust that our farmers will heed it an
promptly meet it IN some such way d
that suggested above.
