The Military .Scaool.-We learn, with
plcaure, that the Barracks of the Kings
Mountain Military School are well-ngh
finished. Tho Professor and Cadets have
taken formal possession, aud have entered
fully upon the rigid system ofdiscipline and
study. which, albeit under many unE.vor-
ablo conditions, has already won for tho
school Il deservedy high reputation through
out the State. The building presents quite
a handsome and imposing appearance.
The location is, in every respect, the happi-
est that could have been selected and tho
entire establishment has been planned and
arranged in admirable adaption to tho pur.
poses designed.
The school now numbers about ninety

The Three Flags,

And wild to be away.
Three Flags were flying DER the town
Gay in the morning fair,
And through the streets came pealing down
Il ween it was no human tongue)
a voice whose tones like echoes rung
Along the level DIR
(which Flag, o people, will ye take
At yonder peak to fyY
When storms shall rave and pillows break,
When waves devouring waves o'erwhelm,
Whom will We trust to take the helm,
Whose name shall shine on high
"To which high end of noble deed
And ever-duriDg fame
Did We the gallant vessel speed,
Orwill ye, false to all her past,
Nail pirate colors to the mast,
And send her forth to shame
/" Then take this Flag its texture holds
To lead this black emprisc
buchanan written on its folds;
And let il fiaunt the sulphrous gallo
A sign of horror and of bale,
A corsair in disguise
" Or would we choose the vessel see
In weak, ignoble restr
Strong but in imbecity;
No nobler end than lie and roar
A bulldog at the eountry's door
To fright the coming gucst'
"ThiS is The flag: it idly sways
10 every idle breezc;-
Sometimes a zephyr seems to raise
little corner to the air,
And there be those who say that there
Strong hope " Fillmore pcrceiyes,
"But would ye freight the vessel deep
With hopes of human kind,
And bid it DER the waters sweep
With all the Ages precious grain,
The fruit Of noble toll and pain
The ransom Of all mind,
defend the honor Of our f,ino
And settle ordered peace,
That while the a. Union bears her name
The Nation linked in amity--
Shall clasp this land from sea to sch
And strife and di5cord cease
"Then take this Banner, fling it wide,
And let the motto be,
A boast that is the peoples pride,
A name that knows no seryile stain,
And let them float Ger land and main
Fremont and Liberty"
When m dnght came md stilled the throng
asked lingerer there,
" How went the choice, or right or wrong?"
At dark" he said, " the good ship sailed
" From her dishonored peak there trailed
The lurid flag of war.
" Fren out each port on either sido
A brazen muzzle lcers,
The shot within the loc;ers gride
] saw the shackles for the slaves
Her hold will be place Of graves,
She's manned by buccaneers.
Sod shield the Union" when the storm
Puts on its foamy crown
Methinks | see her stately form
A riven wreck through surges sweep
Then, fOundered, sinking in dhe deep
Well take orr banner down"
But as he spoke in mournful tone.
The banner TO and fro
Waved overhead, as il were blown
BY currents of the upper air,
As if strange breathings whispered there.
While all was still below.
And then along the darkness came
Again that wandering word,
More sad and low and yet the same,
And as along it seemed to sweep,
Methought the sleepers moved in sleep,
And oil tho churchyard stirred -
upon this banner which bless
Beware to lay thy hand
But closer to its standard press.
