The CALL FOR ADDITIONAL TR0oPs.-The
"Contederates are evidently congrstulating
themselves that they are going to have their
own way in the war They are acting like the
robber lying in wait for his victim They are
likely to be disappointed in their calculations.
The energy Of our Government is aroused to
guard against every possible scheme of the en-
emy.


Only Sunday, the War Department issued
a call for additional troops, and already the
responses from the Governors addressed are
in the highest degree gratifying We may,
therefore, soon expect large reinforcements.


The people will doubtless rally to the sup.
port of their Government, when they see 1t
thus engaged in measures not only for the de
fence of the capital, but for every interest Of
the United States.

: How q man feels when in battle is q


question that our volunteers have doubt


less frequently asked themselves. We
recently stumbled upon volunteer on


furlough. who first smelt powder at Ball
Run. During an hours chat With him
bo gave US very good general idea Of
the way 10 which man feels when under
an eDemys gun. Our friend didn't claim
to be especially courageous. He placed
due value upon the integrity of the A
mericau eagle, but enlisted mainly be-
cause he had no other employ ment at the
time He did csup duty faithfully, and
endured the hardships of long marches
without any special grumbling. That he
dreaded to confront the enemy be freely
admits. While wiling at any time to
kick bigger man than himself under
justifable provocation, he di.liked the
idea of the sudden sensation impaired by
a bayonet thrust in the abdomen. while
only second to this was bis horror of be-
ing cut down with a rife ball like an uu-
sespecting squirrel.


When his regiment was dra1D up in
line be admits his teeth chattered and his
knee pans ratified like pot-closet in
hurricane. Many of his comrades were
similarly affected, and some of them
would bavo lain down had they dared to
do So When the first yoley had been
interchanged, our friend informs us, eve-
ry trace of these feelings passed away
from him. A reaction took place, and
be became almost savage from excite
nent. Balls whi,tled all about him, and
a cannon shot cut in half a compsnion az
his side. Another was struck by some
explosive that spattered the brains over
the clothes of our informant, but, so far
from intimid ating, all these things nerved
up his resolutions. The hitherto quakiDg
civilian in half an hour became veteran.

cannon ball struck him to the earth, dead &.
A second soldier instantly picked up the

A third soldier raised and waved the flag,
and third cannon ball crashed into his
breast and he fell dead. Yet the fourth
time was the flag raised, the soldier
waved it, aud turned to climb over the
fence with it into the woods. As he
stood astride the fence a moment, balanc-
ing to keep the heavy Gag upsight, a
fourth cannon ball struck in the side, cut
ting him completely in two, so that one
half of his body fell on one side of the
fence, and the other half the other side,
while the flag itself lodged on the fence,

THE AMALGAMArIoN OF LANGUAGEs.-There is a growing tendency in this age to appropriate the most expressive words of other languages, and after awhile to incorporate them into our own; thus the word Cephelic, which is from the Greek, sig nifying l" for the head" isnow becoming popular ized in connection with MT Spalding's great Head ache remedy, but it will soon be used in more ge- neral way, and the word Cepheic will become as common as Elecrotype and many others whose distinction as foreign words has been worn away by common usage until they seem native and to the manor born.''
