The New York Times states that Judge
CARTON went recently to Nashville to hold
the appointed term of the United States
Court in Tennessee, after the secession act oil
the Legislature. He was warned by the
Marshal to dcsist, or his life would pay the
forfeit. The intrepid Judge commanded the
Marshal to do his duty in preparing for and
opening tho Court, andsparc himself all care
of tho Judges life. The Marshal then con-
fesscd himself afraid to discharge his duty,

THE AMERICAN FLAG.

When Prcedom from her mountain height
Unfurlei her standard to the air.
She tore the azure robe OF night,
Aud set the stars Of glory there.
She niiogiei with its gorgeous dyes
The milky balirick Of the SSyss,
And striped It's pure celestial white
The estreskings Of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eaglc-bearec down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol OF her chosen land.
Majestic monarch OF the cloud.
Who rearest aioft thy regal form
To hear the tempest trumpings loud,
And SIC the lishtn,ng lanees driven;
When stride the warriors OF the storm.
And rolls the thuntler-irum Of heaven!
ChIld Of the sun! TO thee tits given
To guard the banner Of the free,
To hover in the sulpher smoke,
To ward away the battlc-stroke,
And bid It's blendings shine afar,
Like rainboss on the cloud Of var
The harbingers Of victory,
Flag of the brave, thy folds shall fly,
The sign OF hope and triumph high;
When speaks the trumpet's signal tone.
And the long lines come cleaning on,
Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimn'd the glrstening bayonet,
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where the sky -boru giories burn;
And as his springing steps advance
Catch war and vengeance IRON the glance:
And when the eann0n-nOuthings loui
Iieave in wild wreaths the battle-shroQd,
And CORY ssbrs rise and fall
Like shouts Of fame on midpight's hall
Then shall thy meteor glsnees glow.
And covering toes shall sink beneath
Each gallant srm that strikes below
That lovely messenger Of death,
Flag OF the seas ON oceans wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave;
When death, earcsring on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frightened waves rush wildly back
Before the brosdshle's rceling rack,
Each dying waaderer Of the sea
Shall look at once to Heaven and thee.
And suile 10 see thy spleudors ay
In triuuph DER his closing eve.

buEATTOs IN P00RH0UsEs.
In 1857 the Senate Committee appointed,
upon the memorial of the superintendents OF
the poor, to visit the poorhouses, asylums,
jails, &c, Of the State, found in the several
receptacles and poorhouses eight hundred
and thirty-seven insane, Of whom one hum
dred and thirteen were confined in cells,
and that three hundred and one of these had
been admitted within the year. Since that
period the number not provided for has in.
creased, and this has compelled the county
authorities to provide additional accommo.
dations. In some cases the old receptscles
have been enlarged, and in others new
houses have been built; and while, with the
knowledge we have of these places, and the
means they afford for either treatment or
cnstudial care, we must commend them with
spsIiDg hand; we can, nevertheless, say,
that on the whole they have improved.
In some counties, unfortunately, where
new receptacles have been erected, they
have attempted the treatment Of recent
cases, with the unhappy result of filing
them rapidly with incurabes. In some Of
the largest of these as many as one hundred
patients are thrown together without proper
classification, or, indeed, due provision for
the separation of the sexes.
distinguished commissioner from q
foreign country visiting our institutions, by
OIuer OF DIS government during the past
Summer, informed us that he had, TO his
utter astonishment, found the association of
male and female patients in the same ward
in one Of these large receptacles aud one of
the men in this ward with no other clothing
on than tattered shirt; and, further, "that
the official in charge had reached that stage
where they could excuse such indecency and
Generalization" a.
Considering the large number of incura-
bles in the State, we can not hope now to
carry out the humane suggestions of She
superintendents of the poor, that "all the
insane, not able to reside in private families,
should be cared for in special institHtions,'
though this will undoubtedly be the policy
OF the State after full elimination of the
present system. ..a.
We have watched, with pain, the tendency
to extension in The direction OF these unfit
receptacles, and We have always felt and
maintained that they could never ultimately
take the place of district or State asylums,
administered under system not dependent
on the varying policy of annually changing
county legislation, bat on settled principles
Of medicine, sanitary laws and political
economy. These convictions and views are
fully borne out in the experience of the
county officers themselves, who have been
long enough associated with the general
management of poorhouses to understand
and appreciate their working as regards the
insane. .. .... .H lJ ... .

A Maryland Journal ON the Occupation Of
Maryland. tE.

..-. tl Maryland
The Baltimore EUsning Patriot remarks:
In cases of instructions and invasions,
the Constitution is explicit in providing for
the calling forth of the militia to execute
the laws of the Union," and the Supreme
Court Of the United States has decided that
the authority to make the call is invested in
the President. In the presentinstance there
is an insurrection in the rising up of por-
ton of the population of the United States
sRainst the authority of the United States,
aid in order to put down that insurrection
the President has ordered a concentration of
military forces at the National Capital for its
protection. 1t is, therefore, according to the
Constitution and laws of the United States
that the forces thus to be gathered shall pass
over any part of the territory of any Of the
States or Territories Of the United States.
The transit of the troops through Maryland
can not be considered an invasion, nor does
it in the least degree subject the State to the
condition of a conquered province.
1t is not, however, upon the question of
right but that of preference, that the OBJ
lection to thepasssge of the troops through
Maryla ia, made. a part of the popuIa-
tion do not relish the idea of allowing mill
tary forces to pass to the South for the pur-
newly. organized government They affiliate
with their Southern friends, and can not
consent 70 favor any measures that may
interfere with tfefr civil and political
preferences andarrangemeRts. Theyheartily Y
oppose, from. choice, the movements Of the
Government in regard to the Southern
States, hence the objection to the passage OF
Federal troops over the soil of Maryland. II
is the choice-the preference that controls,
and the right and propriety must be forced
into submission, or they will not be satisfied
In the issue, it is clear that the law, the
right, the justice, the Government, the
Union, all are forced tolgive way before the
all impressive and potent sovereignty OF
choice. This is the true, the inevitable con-
clusioD, for the choice controls the will, aud
in the assertion Of its powers the will is pre-
dominant. Because we feel with the South,
and hold interests in common with the
South, and love the South, does Il follow
. that we must madly overturn our Govern
ment and plhnge our conntry into disaster
and ruin to crafty temporary fancy of the
South . The Union with the American peo
pie should be fixed, immutsble fact, and
every thing should be rendered subservient
to its interests and perpetuation. PhefeS are
honor, and right, and Justice. and dignity,
and character, and prosperity, and blessing
