SLANG.-Many words have crept in the
English language, in America, which are
quite new to it; others have changed their
meaning; Others are merely fancifHl From
America, we have adopted to progress to
efecfuate Gle1er, in America, has gained
meaning which it does not express in Eng
land; as, a eleyer house, a cieoer so1s, cleger
cargo. Slick, kedge boss. dbsq,tdtuldte, are
from America; nor do we quite understand
what is meant by tell smell.
II would be easy to cite many examples in
which words have either deviated unwarrant-
ably from their primitive meanings, or, re-
tanning those meanings, have subYersed the
purpose of Slang
1t is not desirable that people should cease
lessly strive to speak with elegance every
sentence which they utter; if they did, all
conversation would be stilted; but it certain
ly is desirable that slang should not be recog-
missed as an acceptable addition to the Ian
guage of the educated. In the writer's hear
ing, not long since, a very respectable man,
who had some pretension to education, mas
much as he is publisher, found no better
expression to describe the position Of an in
fuential person in q certain business, than to
say, that he was sat the top Of the heap"
Slang is especially offensive in woman, to
whom We are pleased TO ascribe delicacy of
taste. Yet how often do we not hear her in

stamps said lately. in a public place, a
young woman who wouid have been morti-
fed TO think that she had produced a bad
impression even on a bystander.
On occasions, very rarely, a slang express
sion may with propriety be used, to describe
what is otherwise understandable. Nothing
but hitdfsain can at present convey to us
the idea of the most vapid sort of bombast;
nothing but spread-eagle, that of the style OF
the Fourth-of-July Grafton Of the past; moth
ing but shcddy, the grandeur Of vulgar iDsig-
niticance. But let even these, and similar
words, die with the occasions that gave them
birth. They may be tolerated In the CONVEX
sation Of friends If they may be suffered 10

admissible in addressing a stranger, OF q

Survey of the North Pacific

WE copy the following extract from this
years Report of the Secretary of the Navy
of the United States, as probably being Of
interest to our readers. We had thought
that any idea of making the island mentioned
of any particular use, had been abandoned,
but it appears that the Secretary still clings
TO the idea. As it has always been under
stood here, the island may be said to be
utterly barren, having, it is true, little
fresh water on it, and the harbor full of hum
mocks
In view of the rapidly increasing inter
course between Western America and Asia.
Of the growing commerce of the Pacific States,
and of the important and various interests
which are springing up in connection with
cur recent extensive acquisitions, it is impor-
tant that more complete and systematic
survey should be made of the North Pacific
Ocean. The naval vessels on the station
continue to perform some useful but necessa-
rily limited and irregular surveys over that
extensive and partially explored field, but
the period has arrived when something more
effective should be done. Our rising States
on the Pacific, our intimacy with the islands
Of that ocean, our growing trade with China
and Japan. and the vast and varied interests
and plans of commercial enterprise which are
opening from the Indian Ocean to the islands
on the north. demand of US proper contribu-
ton to the cause Of navigation and nautical
science. In a region where we have such a
length of coast line, such large possessions,
and such wonderfully expanding commerce,
inviting the enterprise and capital of our
-. h. r,st tpfa he
yond any other power in giving security to
the mariners who traverse that ocean.
Attention is specially invited to Brooks
or Midway Islands, discovered few years
ago and recently surveyed by order Of this
Department. The charts of the survey re-
present two islands enclosed in lagoon,
forming perfectly secure harbor, accessible
to vessels drawing less than twenty feet, and
afrording abundant supply Of Pure, fresh
water. These islands, which are uninhabited
and unoccupied, ARE situated about midway
between California and Eastern Asia, on the
track of the mail steamships, and furnish
the only known refuge for vessels passing
directly between the two continents.
1t is represented by the naval officers who
made the survey, and also by Rear Admiral
Thatcher. lately in command of the North
Pacific squadron, that the bar at the entrance
of the harbor might be deepened at very
small expense, and a port vastly superior
TO Honolulu be thus opened TO mariners,
were q depot might he established for the
supply of provisions, water and fuel to the
ocean steam lines, and refuge afforded to
merchant ships navigating that ocean. The
Importance of taking possession of these is
lands, and making the proposed improve
ments. can scarcely be over-estimated and
should not he delayed.

OurRaGEs IN THE South SEA ISLANDS
Some time ago Captain Luce, Of her Majesty's
ship Elk, then senior naval officer on the
Australian station, addressed letter to Sir
G. F. Bowen, announcing the loss OF several
vessels and the murder Of sevenIl Europeans
at certain of the islands forming the South
Sea group. The alleged justification Of this
violence on the part Of the natives was, ae-
cording TO letter written by trader 10
those seas. that these atrocities were perpe-
I trated By the natives in revenge for the loss
Of many of their countrymen, who had been
carried away three years previously to
Queensland and the Fiji Islands by Europe.
ans, who hired them as labourers, and
promised TO return them TO their homes In
IL months The facts relating 10 the murder
Of the Europeans are not disputed; but in
the official correspondence which has taken
places upon the subject, and copies OF which
were published on Wednesday morning, II
does not appear that the plea Of justification
has been supported In this correspondence
there are two important statements, one sd
dressed to the Governor Of New South Wales
Ithe Earl Of BeImore, by the Hebrides Mis-
sion, and another addressed by the British
and Foreign Anti-slavery Society TO the
Duke OF Buckingham. In both the assertion
as TO the abduction of the natives is repeated
and the missionaries say they were credibly
informed that several Of the smaller Islands
IN the northern part Of this group had been
almost entirely stripped Of the male popula-
ton. The AntiSlavery Society made the
further assertion that, although certain Of the
natives appeared 10 have been engaged under
some written form Of agreement, c0nsldera-
Bile numbers Of them had been kidnapped aud
forcibly brought into the colony. They also
alleged that this traffic, known as It was 10
the Government, although not directly sane
toned by It, was carried on BY private indi-
vision whatever. and that persons occupying
responsible public positions were also en-
gagged IN II. In letter addressed TO the
AnfI-Slavery Society. dated the 18th ult., Mr..
c. B. Adderley shows that, according TO the
evidence laid before the Colonial Minister,
these statements are unf0unded, and he ex-
presses his surprise that such charges should
ever have been made .-l1nRg Erprsss

irrepressible as that which existed between

out Of numerous ones of similar character
occurring all over the south. And what is
the cause2 Radicaliam. Northern carpet
bag radicals, with few radical southern
scalawags, make the deluded negroes their
tools and bring about these conflicts. The
mass of the southern whites everywhere
desire peace and to live in harmony with
the negroes under the new order of things.

Terrible ARRAY in Vermont County.
ON the La Crosse Democr at

! A most terrible and bloody ARRAY occur
red down at Bad Axe City, twelve miles
below here, on Christmas eve. There was
ball given at the hotel in that small river
town, and many males and females from
the surrounding country were present. A
we'll known desperate BY the name of John
| Oliver, who, We are told, is regular OK
thief stealing cattle from that region,
butchering them and then peddling the
meat between that place ard this city, was
there slightly set up, and just spelling
for fight. There were also in attendance
at the party three brothers by the name Of
Dennlson who, 1t seems, had, at some pre-
ylous time, crosse the path of this ruffian
Oliver, and on whom he had sworn venge-
ance. Those in the ball room had heard it
limited that If Oliver got another drink or
two down there would probably be coils
ion, and many anticipated the bloody
work
About half past ten, Oliver commenced
swearing and talking very loudly, saying
The be id if he wouldn't kill all three of
those s-ns of bis meaning the Denni
son brothers, and Immediately drew q large
bowie knife and made for one of them who
stood near by. Dennison saw him coming
and in attempting to ward off the blow, re
celved 1t through the arm, just above the
elbow. The other brothers seeing this went
to their brothers assistance, when Oliver
stabbed at one of them-cutting az ugly
wound in his side, and Immediately clinch-
ed the remaining one, and had his knife
just raised to give the fatal blow-ready
and aimed to plunge the cutting steel
through his heart, when one o. the wound
ed brothers pulled out a revolver and shot
Oliver through the head, and he fell sense
less to the floor and expired. Confusion
reigned supreme during the enactment Of
this brief tragedy.
Two brothers were already stabbed, but
not tatally-the third was held in the vice.
like grasp of the ruhianly desperate, who
had his knife already poised for the death
blow, and seemed to wait fer renewed
strength to give the fatal stroke-women
ran shrleking about the roommate
faces looked pale as the desperate encoun>
ter thickened-aDd then it was that the
wounded brother shot Oliver through
the head, and quiet was restored The
wounds OF the Dennison brothers were i'm
medlately dressed, and Oliver corpse was
taken away.
Thus ends another affray, in which the
right one was killed, if what we hear is corr
rect, and people down there appear glad
that their village is rid OF this man Oliver.
1t is the end OF an old teud that has long
existed between the parties, and has ended
thus tragically, and, indeed, fatally,
for one. Little excitement existed in
consequence, and no arrests will probably
be made, for the universal verdict seems
to be, Of the villagers, that Oliver got what
he wanted and needed most

The Presidents Proclamation.

The Presidents Proclamation.
The much vexed question of the trial of
JEFFERSON DAVIS has at last been set at
rest by President JOHNSON, whose rrocla.
nation of amnesty we published in last
weeks Plot. The terms of that proclama-
ton 1t Is not necessary to discuss here, as
1t refers only to few cases, and those the
very ones which no person save the fanat>
les who have been striving to keep the
country 10 turmoil, would wish to see push
ed to the issue of trial By issuing
this proclamation, the President saves the
amour proper of the government, and dis
poses at once of a class of cases, in the pur,
suit of which the United States might suf-
fer a loss of national dignity, but under no
circumstances could gain anything.
Those who affect to think that this great
country should be governed solely in the
interest Of faction, may rave over tLis act
of Executive cieInency; but the only re-
gret that any good citizen will express on
the subject will lie, that Mr. JOHNSON did
not issue such proclamation three years
ago.
