The American Flag.

Some do not understand the nature and
origin of the emblems on our Flag. The fol-
lowing will inform them:
Losing says, Washington unfurled the
Union Flag, for the first time over the camp
at Cambridge, on Jan. /, 1915. This, flag
was composed of l8 stripes, alternate red and
white, symbolising the revolted colonies. In
one corner was the device of the British T.
MON Flag, viz: The red cross of ST. George,
composed of horizontal and perpendicular
bar, and the cross of st. Andrew, represent

that it can in any event be abandoned;
and Indignantly frown upon the first daw-
ming of every attempt to ALLEVIATE any
portion of our country from the rest, or
to enfecble the sacred ties which binds
together the various parts.
On motion it was
Rcsolred, That the proceedings Of this meet
ting be published in the Civilian and Iele-
graph and the other county papers and the
papers Of Baltimore.
In taking tho vote on the resolutions, the
President was very particular to give every
man who had any thing to say an opportu-
nifty to do so, informing the meeting that if
there was no one 20 object, he would pro-
nounco the resolution carried unanimously,
and this was done in every case-thc utmost
liberty was given to discussion, and every OPP
portunity afforded for offering amendments
or substitutes.
After repeated and loud calls, Mr. G. A..
Pearre, Esq, made one of those excellent
speeches for which he is so Justly famed and
which gave universal satisfaction to the i'm
mcnse body of Union loving citizens who had
assembled to show their devotion to their
country.
With the exception of an unpleasant oc-
currence at all early stage Of the meeting, and
which strongly tested the disposition of the
True Union men to observe order, the meet

The Richmond Examiner of Nav LIST
urges that u forward movement should
be made by the Virginia troop, so as to
put themselves on the line of the I'oto-
mae. To this effect it says:
There may be reasons for not at once
marching into Maryland and aiding her

Northern troops through her territory,

Louisiana.
WAR DEPARTMENT,

From Louisiana we learn that that
State is very slow in furnishing its quo
ia of troops, called for by Jefferson Da-
vie. The explanation of this is, that the
Louisiana planters and farmers fear a
rising Of the slaves. Almost every
plantation is doubly guarded, everywhere
the slaves are watched with the utmost
vigilance. Plantsrs refuse to let any
of their white employees ealist, but arm
than md keep them as private guard.

The commander at Fort MclIcnry is

contact with the rebels they were worst
ed Observing that batteries were be-
ing erected by the Baltmoreans in po-
sition attacking the fort, he is said to
have sent shot whistling through the
air above the shovcls and guns Of the
traitors. Presently depuiatIou of tue
insulted, indignant, aud offended Balti-
morcans arrived at the fort, and deman-
ied 20 know what lie meant By firing ut
or near them.
The commander replied sol ewhat as
follows:
Gentlemen, | haven't read history for
nothing. remember reading of Fort
Sumter. where an attacking party Of
traitors were suffered to begin and con-
tiuue the erection Of batteries all about
it. One day they opened fire, and the
next the people in the fort we're smoked
out and had'to surrender.
Now, gentlemen, | won't submit to
any such nonsense here.
