REVOLUTIONARY TROPHIES.

THE STANDARDS taken at the Surrender Of 70 orktown
and presented by the Congress Of the Revolution
to Gen. WASHINGTON, Commander-in-chiefo Of the
combined armies Of America and France.
These trophied memorials of the Heroic Age and
the Father Of his Country were on Thursday last
brought over from Arlington House by the venera-
Bile Mr.. CUsTIs, the sole surviving executor Of
WASHINGTON and last surviving member of his
domestic family, and presented to the PRESIDENT,
and through him to the Government and People of
the United States.
The PRGsIDENT, on receiving the venerable tro-
phies, accompanied by the Secretary Of War, es-
corted them to the War Office, where they will for
the present remain under the especial care Of the
Secretary.
It is said that the President intends to submit
the final disposal of these Revolutionary relics to
Congress, recommending that the martial reminis-
cences Of the memorable event that was in truth
the crowning glory of the war of American lnde-
pendence shall form nucleus around which to be
gathered all the standards of the past and OF the
future triumphs of the American arms.
1t has been suggested that portion of the mag
nifcent room in the eastern wing Of the Patent
Ollce Wuulu Silo ioi tLO 1itft " +, =
unph, the Temple of Victory, to contain all the
trophies of the wars of the United States.
Among these old standards are British and
Hessian one. The British is the regimental colors
of the 1th regiment Of the line. In the centre Of
the famed red cross banner is the Order Of the
Garter, surmounted by crown, with the motto,
/" Honi soft Qui mai y pease." The Hessian stand
ard is elaborately worked In the centre is an
eagle soaring aloft, in one talon truncheon Of com
mand, in the other an olive branch. Motto, g Pro
Princesse ct Pdtria. l775."
Both flags are of silk, and nearly eighty
years old, dlapidated by time, the British flag hay
ing suffered somewhat from relc-seekers, who have
appropriated to themselves scraps of the renowned
banner that once foated in terror over continent,
with view to the revival in modern times Of the
ever-glorious memories of the Surrender Of Corn
wallis.
The interesting letters that passed between the
PRESIDENT and Mr. CUsTIs prior to the prcsenta-
ton we shall publish hereafter.

Of considerable difficulty to remove the fallen stone with
rapidity. The work Of removal, however was immed-
ately commenced by Mr.. Summers, in charge of that
point of the line and W. p Sterrett, ESQ., the Supern
tendent of the Division promptly repaired to the spot
The fall of stone is estimated to be about 600 tons, in
masses of rock of which probably weighs at least
200 tons. Blasting is therefore necessary and the
fined nature Of the locality somewhat rsards the process
Of removals but large number Of hands are employed
night and day. and Mr. Serret anticipates being able to

and had originally personal rights; that all such as
he had those given by positive enactment that the

and others especially noticed but so the offence

AN APPEAL AND A RESPONSE.

We published a few days ago the following para
graph from the g Union" the official paper of the
Administration:

The Detroit j" Free Press" we observe, not only
endorses the sentiment of the Union butinvokes
the President to withdraw his favor from all the
Democrats who hesitate in their support of the
Nebraska bill Read the following from the :. Free

Itisapparent that the friends of the Nebraska bill,
North and South, disagree essentially on some Of its
features. We believe that the bill noV before the
House does not embrace the g Clayton amend
n,ent :" yet we have below declaration from a
Southern journal that the bill would not be worth
having without that amendment. How much bet
ter to bring forward bill that all could vote for
save those who find their interest or whose evil pas
sions take delight in sectional strife!
FROM wISNsBoRo Is. c.) REGISTER.
THE CLAYTON PnovIso.-It is seldom that we make ex-
tracts from our Abolition contemporaries, although
read their lucubrations with the same ntenness with
which spy peeps into enemys camp. We have more
than declared unequiyocally that any attempt
strike out the Clayton proviso from the Nebraska bill
would alter its bearing to force us into strenu
opposition. We took position upon the princi-
pie that but native and naturalzed citizens were
allowed to vote in the several States and that
y but these should be allowed the privilege in the
Territories, the property Of the several States.
We have spoken very freely our opinion of the i'm
portance Of this Clayton proviso in the Nebraska BILL
We believe that if it be struck from the bill limit
will be set to the extension Of slavery which the South
will never be able to break through As faithful senti
mel we have sounded the alarm if it be not Needed and
the Vaccinations Of enemies be allowed to arrive at
their consummation let others bear the responsibility
our hands are clean.
