"SKKDADDLE."-A correspondent of the
Boston Journal gives the following hypo.
thesis of the introduction Of the word 'ske.
daddle" into the military vocabulary:
II have been engaged in numbering in
the Wisconsin pinery for a number of years,
and the word was in general use among all
the lumbermen, raft men and fat boatmen
on the upper Mississippi aud its tributaries,
and when the war broke out that class of men
enlisted almost universally. and in all the
states bordering on the river, and carving
their words and customs with them, MANY
OF their expressions were adopted By other
re ailments; and from the fact that the word
.skedaddle' was not much noticed until after
the six western regiments had been sent by
Fremont TO the defence of Washington.
Ihink they carried it with them, aud it was
then adopted by the rest OF the army. Blu,
certain ii is that il is not a new word, for I
found it 10 constant use among that class OF
men six years ago, aud have heard old
trappers say last spring) that they had
heard il used ever since they could recolIect.
Thus. il deer wss frightened it was said
to 'skedadddie;' so when two crews Of raft.
men had rough set to. the crew which ran
was said TO 'skedaddle.' 1t was in consssu
use as slang term to denote retreasinv or

4 Letter from a mem6e, of the Assemxy of
Virginia to Edward j. Stabler.
HANOVER, Jan. 1s, 1773.
DEAs SrR: l take this opportunity to
acknowledge the receipt of Anthony Bene
zet's book against the slave-trade. thank
you for it. Is it not little surprising that
ChristIanity-whose chief excellence con-
sists in softening the human heart, in cher
ishing and improving its finer feelings
should encourage practice so totally repug-
nant to the first impressions of right and
wrong? What adds to the wonder is, that
this abominable practice has been intro
duced IN the most enlightened ages. Times
that seem to have pretensions to boast of
high improvements in arts and sciences. and
renned morality. have brought into use.
and guarded by many laws, a species of
usurpation and tyranny. which our more
rude and barbarous. but more honest ances-
tors detested. Is it not amazing that, at q
time when the rights of humanity are de-
fined and understood with precision, 10
country above all others fond Of Liberty, in
such an age and such country, we find
men protesting a religion, the most humane,
a principle rs repugnant to humanity as it
is inconsistent with the Bible, and destruc-
tive to Liberty! Every thinking. honest
man rejects it in speculation. but how few
in practice from conscientious motives! The
world In general has denied your people a
share of its honors, but the wise will as
cribe to you just tribute of virtuous praise
for the practice OF train of virtues, among
which your disagreement to Slavery will
be principally ranked. l cannot but wish
well people whose system initiates the ex-
ample OF Him whose life was perfect; and,
believe me, l shall honor the Quakers for
their noble efforts to abolish Slavery; and,
they are equally calculated 70 promote NOR
al and political good. Would any one be
lieve that l am master OF slaves of my own
purchase? am drawn along by the gen
eral Inconvenience OF living without them.
l will not, can not justify it; however
culpable MY conduct, will so far pay my
devoir to virtue as to own the excellence
and rectitude Of her precepts. and TO lament
my want of conformity to them. believe
time will come when An opportunity will
be offered to abolish the lamentable evil;
every thing we can do is to improve it if it
happens in our day; il not, let US transmit
to our descendants, together with our slaves,
pity for their unhappy lot and an abhor-
renee Of Slavery. If we cannot reduce this
wished for reformation to practice, let Us
treat the unhappy victims with lenity; it is
the furtherest advance we can make toward
justice. it is debt we owe to the purity of
our religion, TO show that it is at variance
with that law which warrants Slavery.
