A Loa Son has been commenced against
the Evening Post, of New York, by one David

Zormoome' invasion of Kentucky was deem
an act of military necessity. There were large
quantities of pork unsalted in Nashville and in
other parts of Tennessee, which would be en.
tirely lost, unless salt could be procured. Zol
licoffer, therefore, invaded Kentucky, and went
to the saline works in Clay county, took all the
salt he wanted, put it into wagolis, and sent it
to Nashville, and thus saved their bacon.
" SKLDADDLE." —The Washington correspond
ent of one of the morning papers informs us
that,the German soldiers have christened the
rebel earthworks back of Munson's Hill "Fort
ilkadaddle." • For the benefit of future etymol
°ghee; who may have a dictionary to make
when the English language shall have adopted
"skedaddle" into familiar use by the side of
" employee " and " telegram," we here define
the term. It is at least an error of judgment,
if not an intentional unkindness, to foist " ske
daddle "on our Teutonic soldiers. The word is
used throughout the whole army of the Poto
mac, and means to "cut stick," " vamose the
ranohe," " slope," " cut your lucky," or " clear
out." So that " Fort Skedaddle" is equivalent
to "Fort Runaway."
Tat QUNITION of emancipation is being discus

at present. The Albany Journal, whose leading
position in the newspaper world entitles its
opinions to great weight, says in its last issue
that though no man can contemplate violent
emancipation without shuddering—though the
letting loots upon the country of four millions
of benighted creatures, whose only conception
of freedom is absence of restraint, would involve
coniequenees from which the most hardy would
recoil—yet that "if the government cannot be
Rived without giving freedom to the negro—if
the old ship cannot be rescued without throw

And in conclusion, Mr. Seward remarks, the
