Correct SnenkinE,

We advise all young people to acquire in
carly Rie the habit of using good language,
both in speaking aud writing, and to aban-
don as early as possible, amy use OF slang
words and phrases. The longer they live,
the more difficult the acquisition of correct
language will be aud if the golden age of
youth, the proper season for the acquisition
OF language, be passed in its abuse, the un-
fortunate victim OF neglected education is,
very properly, doomed to talk slang for
life. Money ia not necessary to procure
this education. Every man has it in his
power lie has merely TO use the language
which he reads instead of the slang which
he hears to form his taste from the heat
speakers and poets of the country to treas
ure up choice phrases in his memory, and
habituate himself to their use, avoiding, at
the same time, that pedantic precision and
hombast, which show rather tho weakness
of vain ambition than the polish Of an edu-
Gated mind.

Condition Ofthe Rebels In Mis-.


Sr. Louis, Jan. 29.-A largo number of
troops are moving from Rolla, Sedalia and
Ottcrvillt, westward. Their destination ia
supposed to bc Springfield. The following
is from Major WriSht's report to Gen, Wy
mad: Prices force docs not exceed eight
or ten THOUSAND mcn---all State troops
Price has been notified of his appointment
AZ Major-General in the Confederate army,
but has not been confirmed. consequently
tho Confederate forces decline to rc-cnlorce
him. They say to him that they have thirty
thousand troops ready to join him when
they receive official notice. Mcintosh has
gone to rc-cnforcc the rebels in the Indian
nation. Most of Rains rlen have gone
home, the balance, numbering four hundred,
are at Sarcoxc and CRANKY, it is said, to
run the furnaces.
Last Thursday Price was informed that
the Fcdcrals were moving against him in
force from Rolla. The news caused great
excitement in the rebel camp.
Price expects his appointment to be con.
firned within two weeks, when he viii be
rc-cniorccd by Conledoratcs from Arkansas.
! Unless he can take command of the whole
force hc will be obliged to retreat lie has

speedily reinforced. He has large number
of men on the sick list; his foraginS parties
are capturing many Union men and destroy
ing their property; he has only fifteen days
supplies ON hand; each rebel regiment has
organized corps of the best marlsnan to
pick of field officers.
A large amount of property was seized
by tn Provost Marshall, to pay the amount
assessed against prominent Scccssionists by
Gen. lIallcck, for the benefit of the Union
refugees, aud will be sold at auction on
Monday, Feb. 81.

this, and ventured to remark once more:

While bushes mlntlcd Sally's cheek
For well she knew Nat would say

Then from the dish an apple took,
And deftly slicing il in twain,
She passed halt to the silent swain.

And said, as he the apple took;

A Glorious Land.

Our Country It's a glorious land
With broad arms stretched to every shore
The proud Pacific chafcs her strand,
She hears the dark Atlantic roar.
And nurturcd on her ample breast,
How many a goodly prospect lies
In Natures widest, grandest dress,
Enameled with her lovclicst dyes.
Rich prairies deck with flowers of gold,
Like sunlit oceans roll afar;
Broad lakes her azure heavens behold,
Rejecting clear each trembling star
And mighty rivers mountain born,
Go sweeping onward dark and deep,
Through forests where the bounding f;,wn
Beneath their shcltcring branches leap.
And Graded mid her clustering hills,
Sweet vales in dreamlike beauty hide,
Where love the air with music fills,
And calm content and peace abide;
For plenty here her iullness pours,
In rich profusion O'cr the land,
And sent to seize her generous stores,
There prowls no tyr!nt's hirelng band.
Great God! we thank thee for this home
This bounteous birthland of the free,
Where wanderers from aflr may come,
Aud breathe the air of liberty!
S;ill may her flowers untramplcd spring,
Her harvest wave, her cities rise;
And yet, till time shall fold his wing,
Remain earth's lovclicst paradise

MILITARY PAROLE VIoLATORs.-Gcn.H Hal

lack says:
"Any one who voluntarily takes tho oath.
and gives parole Of honor, and afterwards vio-
latcs it by aiding or abettnig the enemy will
most certainly be executed, A man who vio-
latcs his military parole commits the most
serious of all military offences, and l will par.
don no one who is guilty Of that crime. In
regard to the wife Of the Reverend Captain
Chaplain, in Gen. Prices army, who wished to
visit her husband, please inform her that no
such permission can be granted. Nearly all
the Sccessionsts Of this State, who have enter
ed the Rebel service, have left their wives
aud daughters to the care of the Federal troops.
There il scarcely single instance where this
confidence has been abused by us. But what
return have these ladies' made for this protec-
ton I In many cases they have acted as
spies and inforners for the enemy. and have
been most loud .nouthcd in their abuse of our
cause, and most insulting in their conduct
towards those who support it! Under any
other Government they would, for such conduct,
be expelled from the country. or rcontined with
in tue walls Of a prieon. ! am well aware
that some good Union men in the interior Of
the State think that those now serving the
Rebel cause under Price should be permitted
10 return TO their homes. without being con-
sidcred prisoners Of war. or when taken prs.
oncrs Of war. that they should be released
simply ON promise Of future good conduct.
Experience has satisfied me that such course
would neither be wise nor safe. Indeed. find
that every person who advocate more Ieuiens
policy toward returned Secrssionists, are a'so
continually pe,itioning to have ADDITIONAL troops
sent to their coun;irs, to protect thsan from
the operations Of these same Rebels.
