 A shreHd trick was lately practiced by . captain of the 23d Missouri Volunteers, who fell into the hands of bushwhackers while visiting his home near Winterville. Tho leader of the guerillas never having written . parole, re4dested the captain to write and sign one himself He wrote it out in regular form and placed the word "witness" on the left of the paper, underneath which he sign ed his own name, and then asked the guerilla to put his own name to it as witness. The gurilla complied by making his mark, by which he bound himself not to serve against the Confederate States, &c., till exchanged. The captain was then released.

 1863. Popular Errors i'm Philology.


 Popular Errors i'm PhiIology.
 By EDWARD g. GOULD.
 Popular errors of any kind can be corrected only by peraevering criticism. One exposure of their fallacy does not suffice. The process nust be repeated reiterated -perpetually re. produced: and eyep thep, it's effects will be limited to isolated cases of reformation.- Which truisms are preliminary to the remark that part of what we have now to say, has already been said by the same writer in de- tached and occasional contributions to, the New York Epening Post. If however. oul views are sound. they will bear both repetition and expansion indeed, as we have just inti. mated, they will produce little effect unless they are repeated.
 We propose to consider, ip the 6rst place some of the words which have gained the sane tion of common use; but which, nevertheless are not, strictly speaking, English words q a.I. And, in the second place, some of th' words, which, though purely English il themselves, are commonly used in senses st foreign to their true signifcation that, wher thus used, they practically cease to be English In the first category, we designate, merel, as specimens,

Now, whence Coptrorersialistf It is formed by adding ist to the adjectivs, and the question arises whether nom can properly beformsd from an adjective by the additiou Of fsI when such formation is made in disn4ard to tbc primitive verb? A noun may bs so formed from an adjective when there is no primitive verb as, for example, sensaol, sensaalist. And perhaps that distinction may be the rule in the premises. At any rate, although Pa ley did once use tho word. Johnson entirely ignores it, snd eysn Webster repudiates it. The philosophy of the thing would seem to Do that definitions must to some extent control derivatives, and that the formation oi noun must conform to the attribute or preroeative of its aptecedent verb. For example, sepa- ratist is one who separates an economist one who economises but cOntrosersialfst is not and cannot be one who contrvuersials, because there is no such act and no such verb. Hence the word seems to be malformation; and Do. ing word that no scholar would deliberately coin, one may infer that 1t originated in igno- rance, and has been accredited through insd- vertence.
 s Again, Jenissey ip ope of these manufactured words which are not needed in our language, which are not justified by the precedsnts of our language and which therefore should not rscaivs the sanction of educated men. The thing meAui to be expressed by this word is lesitv, and lsns fly is English. It is derived from hnitas, ss is tho adjective lenieat from lspisns. Begingi'0 then. with Johnson, Ne have
