CAMP PHRAsEs.-An enterprisng pub
Usher might make money by getting up a
camp dictionary for the benefit of those who
visit the army, and are mystified by the ex
traordinary words and phrases used. The
words "arlns" has been distorted into "unana,'
brought forcibly forth like the last groan of
dying cat; and in place of "march," we
hear "utch." A tent is jocularIy termed
"the cdnuas," sword is a toad. STACKER,
and any of the altered patterns Of muskets
are known as "hoaCitsers." Mess beef is
"sotthorses," coffee Is "boiled rye" vegeta-
bles are "coao feed," and butter "strong
grease" 'Bully'' is The highest term of
commendation, while dissent is expressed
in the remark, g don't see it," Almost
every regiment has its nickname, and few
officers or privates receive their legal appel
lations or titles when spoken of in their abb

re christened their Governor, nor have his

non,s-de guerre, one Or two of which are
decidedly uncomplimentary, though laugh

Cause of the War.

The Hon. Owen Lovejoy, of Illinois
in his introduction of General Lane to a
Washington audience, few evenings
ago. remarked that "the crime Of slavery
has involved this Government in a cause
less rebellion, and that we had the right
to destroy and abolish it. He had not
heretofore been called political Aboli-
ZIONIST, hut he was willing to avow him
self one now. We could never conquer
this rebellion without striking at the root
of slavery, and inasmuch as the Union
was of more Importance than slavery, he
was in favor of bringing it (slavery) to
the block. [Cheers. The right to do
this is derived from the necessity of the
case. Our national life is worth more
than the life of slavery. The law of self
preservation gives us the right to destroy
slavery.

NOISELESS WHEELS.

In this instance the invention consists in
the application of solid band of vulcanized
india rubber over the iron tire of the wheel.
The India rubber is held in its plase by the
tire having raised finn on both sides, and
by its own elasticity. The band of an ordi-
nary carriage wheel is about an inch to an
inch and half in thickness, and unless on
close inspection, no difference from the COM
mon ifon,shod wheel is perceptible. We
have driven some distance in a carriage with
the wheels so shod, and were struck, not
only with their noiselessness, but at the per-
feet smoothness of the motion-the wheels
being, in fact springs, and by their elasticity
giving a lighter draught than with the iron
tire. We have seen one set of wheels which
have been driven 1000 miles; they have
here and there trifing cut but shows no
appearance of being worn out snd seem
quite capable of another three or four thou
sand. An iron tire is generally worn out in
5000 miles, so that the India rubber tire
has so far proved itself the more lasting. 1t
is certainly great addition to the luxury
of carriage to have it run without jar or
noise; and it would be universal comfort
to have the streets of cities without the pres
ent incessant rattle of carriages, omnihuses,

Them Sardiues.

Not long ago Western landlord, some
what noted for his blunders, took it into his
head to get up ball at his tavern" As
he intended to do the thing up brown, and
have everything on the big auger plan, he
fancied that few ''store fxins" would be a
great addition to the bill of fare of pork and
turkey. He therefore made inquiry of his
friends, and found that the only delicacy in
market at that season of the year was sar-
dimes; accordingly he sent to the nearest
city for two dozen boxes of sardines. His
chirography, however, was SO villainously
bad, as to make it read two duzzeb boxes
syrluges The night of the pa ty came,
and as supper time drew near, the landlord
looked anxiousIy down the street for the ap-
pearance of the stage which was to bring
the principal dish on the bill. At last it ar
rived and with it packsge for the expect
ant landlord. Directly there was great
outcry, and sound OF cusring in the bar
room. The entire party rushed out to see
what was the matter. and there stood Boni-
face, red as a turkey cock, pulling and blow
ing with Rage. -.... y.
See therer' said he, "see there l sent to
Dubuque for two dozen boxes of sardines
for supper to night, and the cussed fool sent
me twenty three boxes of them blame pew

Two Ehonsand German Women Of
st. Louis in Council

Under this heading the st, Louis Repub-
lican of Saturday, Nov, 80, contains an
artidle, in which it says: M
ga meeting of wives of German volunteers
was held in Harmony Hall, on Ssvsnfh
street, between Park avenue and Rutger
street, last evening, for the purpose of indu-
cling the Government to pay the volunteers
now in service 1t is stated that, since these
volunteers enlisted in August last, they have
received no pay, and that, in consequence,
their families, to great extent, in this city,
are now actually suffering for food and
clothing .yts
aThere were at least two thousand women
in attendance at the meeting last evening"
A petition was presented to General Hal
Ieck in accordance with the above facts,
which closes as follows:
aAnd now General, winter, the most in
clement season of the year, is at hand, and
starvation stares in the face of our little chill
dren.
Hundreds Of rebel prisoners in the hands
of Government are warmly housed and COM
fortably fed but we, whose loyalty and de-
votion to the Union are undoubted, whose
husbands. whose sous are exposing their
lives and their health in the service Of their
country, are uncared for and neglected.

volunteer soldiers are paid for their services,

@The Hon. Charles Sumner, in bis
recent speech before the Young men S
Republican Union in Now York City.
used the following beautiful and impress
siye language .....-
But all must see-and nobody can de-
ny-that slavery is the ruling idea of this
rebellion. 1t is slavery which marshals
those hosts, and breathes into their EN-
battled ranks its own barbarous fire. 1t
is slavery which stamps its character alike
upon officers and men. 1t is slavery
which inspires all from the General to
the trumpeter. 1t is slavery which sounds
in the word Of command and in the NOR
ming drum beat, 1t is slavery which
trenches and builds hostile forts II is
slavery which pitches its white tents, and
stations lis sentrles over against the Ma
tional Capital. 1t is slavery which shar.
pens the bayonet and casts the bullot
which points the cannon, and scatters
the shell, blazing. bursting with death.
Wherever this rebellion shows itself -
whatever form it takes--wha ateyer thin Q
it does - whatever it medltates- it is
moved by slavery nay. it is slavery its
elf, incarnate, living, acting, raging, rob
bing, numbering, according to the essen~
tiai law OF its being.

ONE OF THE SENrR1Es-At one of the
camps on Staten Island, a pew recruit was
placed on guard few nights since. An
officer wishing to be satisfied that the re-
cruit understood his duty, walked to the
post and passed by, meeting with no reeist-
ance or objection. Looking at the sentry

the way he performed his duty.
"oh, l am performing my duty" was the
reply. as

Sleeping with the nandlord's wife

In the pulpit he is grave, solemn, dignied,

cut of it there is no man living who is more
full of fun and drollery. On one occasion
he was vending his way toward the seat of
the annual conference of ministers, in com

purpose the clerk called Zebs name. Does
any one know aught against the character
of brother Twitchell during the past year {?
asked the bishop,who was the presiding Off

travelling companion arose with a heavy

and the Church and himself, he must, there

Twitehell had told him while passing
the tavern, how he slept with the landlords
wife, etc. The bishop called up brother
TwichelI and asked him what he had to say
against so serious q charge as that? He
arose and said: Il did the deed never lie'
