CORRECT SPEAKING.--We advise all
young people to acquire in early life
the habit Of using good language, both
in speaking and writing, and to aban-
don as early as possible the use of slang
words and phrases. The longer they
live the more difficult the acquisit ition
of correct language will be; and if the
golden age of youth, the proper sea-
son for the acquisition of language, be
passed in its abuse, the unfortunate VIC
tim Of neglected education is, very
properly, doomed to talk slang for life.
Money is not necessary to procure this
education. Every man has it in his
power. lie has merely the use Of the
language which he reads, instead Of
@he slang which he hears; to form his
taste from the best speakers and poets
of the country; to treasure up cholce
phrases III his memory, and habituate
himself to their use, avoiding, at the
time, that pedantic precision and bonn
bast, which shows rather the weakness
Of vain ambition than the polish of an
educated mind.

Hog Strategy.

The feeding of soldiers on pork
seems to have philosophy in it. 1t is
the meat of the best tactician among
brute animals. Silliman's Journal
gives the following curious illustration
of this
A gentleman, while travelling some
years ago through the wilds of Fer-
mont, perceived at little distance be-
fore him herd of swine, and his at
tention was arrested by the agitation
they exhibited. He quickly perceived
q number Of young pigs in the center
of the herd, and that the hogs were
arranged about them in conical form,
having their heads all turned outward.
AT the apex of this singular cone a
huge boar had placed himself, which,
from his size, seemed to be master Of
the herd. The traveller now observed
that famished wolf was attempting,
by various maneuvers, to seize on the
pigs in the middle but, whenever he
made an attack, the huge boar at the
apex of the cone presented himself
the hogs dexterously arranging them
selves on each side of him, so as to
preserve the position of defense just
mentioned. The attention Of the tray
eller was for moment withdrawn, and
upon turning to view the combatants,
he was surprised to find the herd of
swine dispersed, and the wolf no long
er 70 be seen. On riding up to the
spot the wolf as discovered dead up
on the ground, reLt being made in
his side more than a foot in length
the boar, no doubt, having seized IA
vorable opportunity, and with a sud
den plunge dispatched his adversary
with his formidable tusks. 1t is lit
tie remarkable that the ancient Ro-
mans, among the various methods they
devised for drawing Up their armies IN
battle, had one exactly resembling the
posture assumed by the swine above
mentioned. The mode of attack was
called Ctlnsas: or Caput procinuna.

Wisconsin, TwELFTH.-This regi-
ment, commanded by George E. Bry'
ant, arrived in this city on the morn
ing of the 10th, afte: hard trip from
the Mississippi river.
We are no sycophant, but must say
we never saw a finer looking set OF
men anywhere. We have witnessed
their company drill and dress parade,
and have never seen them surpassed,
even by regiments Of the regular ar
my. They appear to have in their offi-
GERS all that any regiment could desire,
and the officers have In the men that
for which they should feel proud.
We wish gentlemen from "Dixie," /"
one of whom can eat up seven of these
ssNorthern Mud sills," would come out
and let US see it done.
If Gen. Lane gets brigade of such
regiments, we pity that portion of reb-
eldom through which dllty may lead
him.
IF this is specimen Of Wisconsin,
we wish we had been reared in that
latitude.
BY the way, the Wisconsin Twelfth
is an intellectual regiment. We find
the various professions we'll represent
ed among them, and for civility and
geLtlemanly demeanor we have never
seen them excelled. In this respect,
their praise is in every part Of our city.
This one mark leads us to the belief
that they are brave men.
And when they get down into the
land of cotton, where the wiggletails
are visible in mems ears, we think they
will give good account of themselves.
They sre the kind of men to disabase
the southern mind upon the subject Of
northern pusillanimity and Yankee IN
becility.
1t has been intimated that this regi-
ment will remain here until the first of
March. We hope it may Weston

What would the Mail say if it could
see all the Wisconsin regiments to-
gether? They are {" bully" every ore
Of them.

Location of the National Armory

The chap who drives the quill thro'
the columns of the Vandalia OILY Dem
ocrat, is a wag Of the first wafer
Considering the fact that more than
fifty towns have already put in their
claims for the location of the National
Armory, he offers the following re asons
why said Armory should be located at
Vandalia. They will repay an atien:
tive perusal:
Because it is going to be located
here.
Because 0kaw runs on the east side
of the town.
Because the Central Railroad runs
on the west side of the town.
Because the Okaw runs on one side
of the town and the Central Railroad
on the other.
Because the town is between the
Okaw and Central Railroad.
Because this used to be the Capitol
Of the State.
Because we are out Of the reach oi
sccessionists.
Because we are within few hours
communication of Ramsey, Pana, and
Decatur.
Because we have not got peaiter'
tiary, lunatic asylum, ladies' boarding
school, nor anything of the kind in this
part Of the State.
Because it would be good place te
borrow guns to 60 chicken shooting.
Because Vandalia is good name
and looks we'll in print.
Because Vandalia is 4 moral town,
and the guns wouldn't be allowed to
90 with their breeches down.
Because the Fayette Democrat is
published here.
Because the "Rrough Road" is go.
ing to be built here.
Because the satiopal roaa is planked
to Bluff City.
Because we have bpilt a plank to

A "PLAS."-The wags have got up
new "plan," which they dub " Nc
Clellan.'' 1t is somewhat as follows !:
That Mcclellan is waiting for the Chi
nese population Of California to in
crease to such vast number that they
will be able to cross the Rocky Noun
tains and bring up his right wing, by
which time the Russian Possessions
and Gresnland will have redundant
population, which cansbe drafted down
to the support of the grand left wing
Of the Union army-and that when
these great events take place, the war
will commence in earnest! This is the
hotel joke just now, and even McClell-
an listened to it the other day with
good-uatured laughter.
