AMERICAN ORGAN.
The American Flag.


Fling out the nations stripes and stars,
The glorious standard OF the free,
The banner borne through freedoms wars,
The hallow'd gem Of liberty.
On mountain top, in valley deep,
Wherever dwell the free and brave,
Columbia's flag must freely wave.
Raise high the bright, suspicious nag,
From every height and lowly glen,
In forrest dell, on jutting crag,
Afar among the haunts of men.
That sparkling banner widely flung,
Shall freely wave DER land and sea;
And freedoms anthem sweetly sung,
Shall swell our country's jubileel
Oh let the world that flag behold
That emblem Of the brave and freej
The brightest crown Of streaming gold
That decks the Goddess Liberty.
Spread out lis folds till heavens dome
Reyerberates the holy sound,
That all oppressed have found home
On freedoms consecrated ground.
Fling out our country's banner wide,
Our emblematic starry gem,
Our UNIoh NEVER SHALL DIVIDE,
While floats that silken diadem.
Year after year the brilliant stars
Shall indicate the strength Of all
Let all beware Of civil wars,
That curse Of monarchs--freedom's fall.

VIRGINIA CRoPs--The Danville Register says
that vegetation in that region ia in fine condition.
The oat crop Is fair and the corn looking finely.
The Fincastle Wing says that the wheat crop In
Botetourt will be large and of good quality, and
the oat and corn crop excellent. 1t hears of one
farm on which 900 bushels Of wheat will be raised
The Halifax Advocate Gays that large portion
of the wheat crop In that vicinity is harvested and
the yield and quality is satisfactory The oat will
exceed the average yield, and an immense yield Of
tobacco and corn ia anticipated.
The Norfolk Herald says that in the lower James
river counties the yield Of wheat is said to be ave-
rage, and the quality almost unsurpassed. 1t has
10 doubt from the propitious weather that the
grain will be gathered in good condition.

MEIIco.--E1tract from a letter dated


TANPIco, June 7, 1855.
Revolutionary movements are the order Of the
day throughout the Republic, and on the first day
Of the present month formal "bando" proclaimed
this place in state of siege. This may be the
approaching moment Of the total cessation Of the
one man power in Mexico, whose tyrannical sway
and bloody deeds has no parallel in the annals Of
modern history.
The capital became too hot for his precious
health, and he is now voluntary exile from the
palace Of the Montezumas, diligently looking out
for port from whence he may make his exit from
the magical scenes he has been the author of since
his return to distracted Mexico. We will soon be
able to say, most serene Antonio the first, most
unfortunate Antonio the last thy bloody reign
hath been but short, but the vile deeds which thou
hast 'committed can never be oblterated from the
tablets Of memory! Should he escape the ven
geance Of his abused countrymen, oblivion and the
deserts of the Spanish main will soon swallow him
il their deep embraces, and his vacant place will
he supplied Withhold only knows who-but
doubtless another hero Of the same kidney
such is the fate Of down.trodden Mexico, and
such are her prospects Of gloom for the present
and gloomer for the future.

This remedy has won for itself such notoriety for
its cures of every variety of Pulmonary disease that
it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evidences OF
its virtues in any community where it has been en-
poyed So wide is the field Of its usefulness, and 80
numerous the cases Of its cures that almost every
section Of the country abounds in persons publicly
known, who have been restored from alarming and
desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When
once tried its superiority every other medicine
of its kind is too apparent TO escape observatsn and
where its virtues are known the public lsnger hes
ate what antdote to employ for the distressing and
dangerous affections Of the pulmonary organs which
are Incident to our climate And not only in formid
able attacks upon the lungs but for the mder yare-
ties Of Colds Coughs Hoarseness, &C., and for child
rem it is the pleasantest and safest medicine that can
