WHAT EATTLE PHRASES
MEAN.

Only think of the common hackneyed
expressions which pass so lightly between
the lips when speaking Of great battle.
We talk exultingiy, and with a certain
fire, Of a " magnificent charge" oil 4
"spIendid CHARGE" yet very few will
think of the hidcous particulars the two
airy words stand for. The "spleudid
cha .ce" is q headion1 rush Of men on
strong horses, urged to their fullest
snec,l, riding down and overwhelming an
opposing mass on foot. The readers
mind goes no further, being content that
the enemy's line was "broken " and
gave way" It does not fill the picture.
To DO So ctIectnallv, VIC must first think
of an individual lun down in The public
street by borscman moving at "u easy
pace. The result is usually a fracture
or violent commission. We NAV strength
en- the tones Of the pctu.a by setting
this horseman at a full galiop, and join
inc TO him u company of other flying
horsemen. How will it be then with the
unhappy pedestrian?
So. when the "splendid charge hes
done its work, anl PASSED by, there will
be found q sieht very much like the
scene very much Ike the scene of a
frightful railway accident. There will be
found full complement of backs broken
in two, of arms twisted wholly off, of
men e,npaleJ upon their own bayonets,
of legs smashed up like tirowood, of
heads sliced open ike apples, Of other
heads smashed into jelly BY the iron
hoofs of horses. Of faces trampled ont of
I'll likeness of anything human. This Is
what ssulks behind u "sp!endid charge"
This is what fellows, rs m9ttor Of
course, wien our fellows rode at them
in style, and cut them up f;fmously."
Again, how often does the command
er, writing home through official dis
patches, dwell particularly on The gallant
conduct of Capt. Smith, who, finding
the enemy were annoying our right
a ltte," got his gun into position,
and HE'LL them in check" Both ex
pressions are fair drawing room phrases,
10 be mentioned freely by ladies' lips.
1t is as it were, n few flies buzzing about
our "right wing" teasing and fretting
our men. Aud yet, properly translated,
il signifies this: That stray men Of the
right wing are now and then leaping
with eonvulsiye start into the air, as q
Mimic ball flies with a sharp sting
through their hearts; that stray men,
suddenly struck, are rolling on the
ground; that man here and there is
dropping down quite suddenly with a
shrek, his freloek tumbling from his
band-in short, that there is series OF
death scenes being enacted up and down
the Iong line.=1N tie Year Round.

Sr. Louis, March 81.
4 special dispatch to the Republican,
dated near Island No. 10, says only
three shells were thrown by the mortars
today, to which no response was made
by the rebels. This morning Col. Blu
ford sent accommodating party Of TWEEN
ty men of the 2.th Illinois down the
Missouri shore They arrested three
prominent residents, who reported that
1000 negroes are employed on the IS
land, and at the batteries along the is
land, and at the batteries along the shore,
and that sixty FIVE rebel troops, including
two lieutenants and four negroes have
been killed by our shells i; that the up
per shore battery is abandoned. but the
others are being rapidly strengthened !;
that the enemy is $4,000 strong, and
their enoampment has been moved en-
tiFeIE OUT u tIo ittiiSC vi citi "''7-
The rebels are confident Of success,
and say they have GOOD road to Trcn-
ton and ether points by which they can
escape whenever they choose. They
have plenty of provisions.
Three rebel steamers loaded with
troops we're seen watching tie shore to
prevent communication from here. The
total number of the enemy's transports
are eleven. Two balloon ascensions
were made by Capt. Steiner, but the
weather was too thick for favorable OBJ
eervation.
One partly finished gunboat building
Mt Memphis was fired the other night,
but was extinguished before much dam
age was done. New Tennessee levies
were disbanding, they refusing to fight
with pixies, the only weapon offered
them.

man who has The lsnd and the seed will see to
it that they put in all they can. And we
would suggest that if the high prices paid is
not suficien. inducement, then, for the sake of
the country; and select the best lapd and the
most approved seed. Last year the white
wheat was the only kind that was not affected
with the rust in our section, but where that
cannot be procured, let others be used, as such
q failure has not been known for many years
