My proposition is lo appoint, say ten well known American ed ucatnrs to form a board lo perfect the language now spoken in the United* States into a language lo lie called the “American Lan guage,” with a view to its becom ing the universal language ot the said earth of which we are about to take charge. The bill should contain the following duties of the board: To fix a definite pronunciation for all language words and for all geographical and historical names in the Uuiled Stati-3, to be called thfe American Pronunciation. To fix a phonetic sy stem ol S|ielling all language words, to be called American Spelling. To add such letters to the pres ent alphabet as may be necessary to accurately represent the sounds now used in the United Slates, to be called the American Alphabet. To fix such official abbrevia tions of language words as are convenient and possible for use iu telegraphy and shorthand. The only trouble with Mr. Ware is that he is a few centuries ahead of lime. It is impossible to form ulate an American language until we cease lo have constant and ex eessive accessions of foreign im migration; until, indeed, we can assimilate and absorb all the ad mixture ol foreign blood. Then we will have an American race, then we will have an American language. Noah Webster was its great forerunner.—A r «ic Orleans Picayune. Will Not be Without iofae’s rills. Cuaki-kstox, Iow a. \V.

To his sur piise Mr. Baird knew nothing of if. On the night following Mr. Wise and family were absent from home. About dusk Mr. Baird beard a ffoise in the direction of Mr. Wise’s house and would have gone up to see what it was if his wife had not become so much frightened. • On Sabbath evening following Mrs. Abram Long, a neighbor had come over t« visit Mrs. Wise About supper tune, without a moment’s warning, something lie gan [Hipping about over the floor with a noist similar to firecrackers, and a scent like sulphur or burnt powder was noticed.

Editors Enterprise Jc Appeal: Thinking an account of the way in which I saw my first Yankee killed, during the late war, might be of some interest to your numer ous fValibrS; I will, briefly 6iii& the facts as nearly as they can be remembered at this late day: We left Culhbert on the 5th day of July, 1861. went to Griffin, and were mustered into the tonfedfer- ale States' service for th e: yea • or during the war. Marceilus Douglass was our captain, but when the regiment was formed ha was elected Lieutenant ColoneL WS wbie itt tills tiff's' known as Co. E, 13th Ga. Regiment. We first went to Decatur, then to Rich mond, Va., and lrom there ta Jackson River, Va.; where we started on foot and tramped all over Northwest Virginia, during which lime we lost nearly all of our men, they being either sick or dead. We were then brought back to Savannah, Ga., lo recruit up. We soon became strong •’! ffhd wanted to bunt Yankees. Hill, who was our Adjutant, called f<Jr twenty volunteers, lor a scout, and had no trouble in getting them.— We went over on While Marsh Is land, and leaving a picket consist ing of five men, crossed a small river on to anplher islund west of While &afsh Island, and while looking around we heard a cannon fire in the diresliua of our pickets. Creeping up to a landing from where we could see Our picket poet,' what was our astonishment to see two large yawl boats at the land ing where we had left our pickets. The Yankees hud landed and fired un our pickets, wounding one and dispersing the rest. We conceal ed ourselves. Adjutant Hill in command, and awaited their re turn. We thought they would have to pass us on going up the liver. When they got within five hundred yards of ns; the boy* could stand it no lunger, and ris ing from our concealment we fired into them, each boat having six teen men on board. After firing we called on them to surrender,' but one boat made good its escape up a little creek. The ether boat continuing to approach, and bar- lug a six pound cannon on its bow. Adjutant Hill ordered them lo turn its mouth from towards us, but they failed to understand the order, and we tired on them' again, but falling down in the boat they escaped our balls. They finally landed and surrendered, iiaving one man killed and twe' wounded. This was the first dead Yankee I ever saw. We felt as' hough we had fought a big battle. Adjutant Hill and Col. Douglas#' were both brave soldiers, as wu' afterwards proved. J. R. T. s — Personal. Mr. N. II.
