In these times of ;" chivalry" and devilry of Sc
ccssion and required unlimited concession; times
of aristocratic rulianism--times when Southern
refinement has become changed to Southern bru-
tality-when that portion of our country which
gave us Washington treats with wanton disrespect
his last earnest wishes, and giving themselves to
the leadership Of such creatures as iancey, Rhctt
Co.. seek to destroy the fair fabric reared and
bequcathed to us by their ancestors and ours !;
times when traitors are furnished with arms and
ammunition by the Chief Executive of that Gov
crnment their treason is intended to overthrow ;
times when in our ports the Stars and Stripes are
forbidden to float, the following song is quite ap-

A Loyal Officer Of the q. s. Navy,

Southern born and bred, and inherit
ing Southern slavery, answers Lieut..
Hamilton, of South Carolina, late of
the U. s. Navy, as follows:
Now, my dear Jack, your proposition
to us, following the lead of those gen.
tlemcn, "to bring any ships we may
command into Southern waters" with.
out reference to the orders under which
we are acting, reject with scorn and
disdain. The very proposition is re-
Election not less upon our honor than
our loyalty, and is unworthy of the
honorable feelings and principles which
arc the guiding principles of your life.
Such thing had never been done in
the history of our country, until, few
weeks since, in the harbor Of Charles
ton, a traitor, in the person of a reve-
nue. officer, committcdit. The remem-
brance of this transaction will follow
him in Shiny trail to the grave. Had
the authorities of South Carolina re-
turned her at once to the General Gov
crnment, as in a similar case i'll Georgia
about the same period, it would have
been more worthy and characteristic of
the chivilric name of the sons of the
Palmetto State. I confess felt deeply
mortified by its action on that occasion.
Should 1 command a ship-Southern
man that I AMI tell you now, and be-
forchand, that I will return her, with
the blessing of God, to the authorities
of that Government which honored
and entrusted me with her command,
at every risk and peril, if am COM
PEELED to decide it, sword in hand, on
my own quarterback. And / will tell
you more than that, that l will stand
by the old "Stars and Stripes" whilst
there is single star in the square Un-
ion of it, which think is pretty COM
mon sentiment among all of us. We
have too long revellcd in the delicious
pride of unfirling that glorious banner
in foreign waters, at 8 o'clock, to the
tune of the "Star Spanglcd Banner"
with full band of music, to turn upon
it now, in its day of peril, and strike it
down. No, sir, 1 won't do it. pray
God l may be buried in its folds. l
love every color, every star, every
stripe of it.

WHAT HARRY CLAY THOUGHT OF IT.
Henry Clay, in one of his speeches
in the Senate, during the discussion of
the compromise measures Of 1850, re-
marked us follows:
"If the Union shall become separa-
ted, new Unions, new Considerations,
will arise, and with respect to this-it
there be any-I hope there is no one in
the Senate before whose imagination is
fitting the idea Of great Southern
Confedcmcy to take possession of the
Balize and the mouth of the Mississip-
pi, l say in my place, never! nerer !
NEVER! will we, who occupy the broad
waters of the Mississippi and it's upper
tributaries consent that any foreign flag
shall float ut the Balize, or upon the
turrets of the Crescent city-nerer !
NEVER!

~ COUNTRY'S FLAG OF STARS

BY HARRY RIVERS, A FOREToPMAN.
I've roamcd for many lengthy mile
Upon the stormy seas;
I've seen full twenty banners float
All proudly on the breeze
That standard, too, Great Britains pride,
The boast of England's tars- ys-
Yet none could thrill my heart but thee,
My country's flag of stars
Brazils gay flag of gorgeous dyes;
The banner of old Spain;
Zen Gallia' bunting as it flies,
Is not undimmed by stain;
Their lustrc has been sullied oft
At home, by deadly jars;
But thy bright azure fields are pure,
My country's flag of stars
In some famed foreign port I've seen
The flags of half the world
To celebrate gala day
Their bunting all unfurlcd.
With throbbing heart glanced my eye
Along the tapering spars,
Until my gaze was fixed on thee,
My country's flag of stars /!
And when thy stripes and azure felI'~
First met my eager sight,
Ny bosom heaved, my heart it thrilled,
With feelings of delight.
! hailed it as the cynosure
OF our Columbia's tars;
The banner Of the brave and free,
My country's flag of stars
And where's the heart possessing but
One spark Of freedoms zeal,
That would not, gazing on thy folds,
A patriots spirit feel?
The veteran, too, as he looks down
Upon his ancient scars,
That would not hail thee with delight,
My country's flag of stars!

The Names of the States.

Maine was called "Narvoshcn," but
in 1888 took the name it now bears
from Maine, province in the west of
France. New Hampshire was the name
given to the Territory granted to Cap
tain John Mason by the Plymouth
Company: in 1889, by patent, and was
derived from the patentee, who was
Governor Of Portsmouth,, Hampshire,
England. Vermont was derived from
re,M, green, and mo1at, mountain, after
her green mountains. Massachusetts,
was derived from a tribe of Indians in
the vicinity of Boston, and signifies
Blue Hills. New York was named in
honor of the Duke of York, to whom
the territory was granted. Pennsylva-
mia, as everybody knows, was called
after William Penn. The Duke of
York granting New Jersey to Lord
Berkely and Sir Geo. Carteret, Gov
ernor of the Island of Jersey, it was
named in honor of the latter. Della
ware was called, in 1892, after Lord
Delaware. Maryland was named in
honor Of the Queen of Charles l., in bis
patent to Lord Baltimore, in 1882.
Virginia was named in honor of
Queen Elizabeth, "the virgin Queen of
England" The Carolinas were named
by the French. Florida received its
name from Ponce dc Leon, while on
his voyage in search Of the fountain of
youth. He discovered it on Easter
Sunday-in Spanish Pasque Florida.
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Him
ois, Indiana, Arkansas, and Missouri,
are all of Indian origin, being chiefly
named by our Government after their
principal rivers. Tennessee is said to-
signify "curved spoon;" Illinois, the
River of Men; Mississippi, the Whole
River, or river formed by the union
of many. Michigan was named from
the the Indian lake on its borders.
California was named by the Spaniards.

A WHALING UNION DEMoNsTRAfIo

A WHALING UNION DEMoNsTRA ALTON.
One of the most important whaling
grounds on the Pacific coast is at Bar
tholomcw Bay, on the coast Of Mexico.
It is frequently beset by numbers Of
whalers who there pursue their noble
game. During the last trip up Of the
steamer Cortcs, she ran close In to
Bartholomew Bay, where no less than
eleven whalcrs were lying. AS the
Cortcs approached, each ship in sue
ccssion hoistcd the stars and stripes, the
emblem of American nationality, indi-
eating thereby their sentiments on the
great question now agitating their coun-
try. Although the steamers had often
passed whalers at the same. place, the
flag had never before been fling to the
breeze. Their boats were Immediately
lowered and headed for the steamer and
were most literally supplied with pa

BRIEFLY SpoKEN.-On the 24tk Of
July, 1850, Mr.. Clay said in the Senate:
"You cannot PIT your finger on the
part of the Constitution which conveys
the right or power to carry sldtcs from
one Of the States Of the Union to any Ter.
ritory of the UWted States. Nor can l
admit for single moment that there is
any separate or several right upon the
part of the States or individual meme
bers of State, or any portion of the
people of the United States, to carry
slaves into the Territories, under the
idea that those Territories are held in
common between the several States.
1t is a joint property, held by a CONS
mon trustee for the general good, and
to be administered by the General
Government according to its deliberate
judgement of what will best promote
the common happiness and prosperity,
and dojustice to ALL"
This is tho very doctrine OH which
Abraham Lincoln and the Republican
party stand today.

WHAT GEN. Wool THINKS OF IT.
It is reported that some one asked the
veteran, Gen. Wool, if the army would
be likely to divide in case Of secession,
and fail to obey orders from the new
President? The gallant old man drew
himself up proudly, and replied: "Do
YOU think, sir, the army is going to fail
the country at the moment tits needed!
No, sir. Furthermore, l allow no OFF,
Ger or man under my command to ad.
NIT the possibility of disunion; and if
l hear that any one has spoken in favor
of it, l will court-martial him with all
possible expedition; and Scott feels as
I do, SIR"

No New THINd.-Thc National M-
tellgencer quotes the language of Kcitt
in relation to secession, 81 have been
engaged in this movement ever since
I entered political life," and of Rhett,
who says, "The secession of South Car
olina is not the event of day. 1t is
not anything produced by MIR. Lincoln's 3
election, or by the non-exccution of the
fugitive slave law. 1t has been a mat.
ter which has been gathering head for
thirty years." and advises the border
States to beware how they suffer them
selves to be led off by South Carolina,
as she is not endeavoring to meet new
and startling emergency in our civil
history, but is only making complaint
of present difficulties as cloak to hide
the matured plans of thirty years.
REBELLION AGAINST KING CorroN.-
Judge Handy, the Commissioner from
Mississippi to Maryland, for treasona-
bic purposes, while endeavoring to in
fuence Governor Hicks of the latter
State, became excited at his failure to
succeed, and jumping up from his
chair, stalked across the room, like a
cock-turkey enraged, and throwing
himself into a theatrical attitude, ut
tered these terrible words: "Finally,
let me tell you, Governor Hicks, that
Cotton is King!" The Governor, not
at all terrified, observed in reply: Mr..
Handy-not Commissioner Handy of
Mississippi, but Mr.. Handy-let me
tell you, sir, that l will see King Cot
ton i'll h-ll, sir, before he shall reign

THE BACHELOR LAWYER.

Mr.. Browns house was an old house in the
middle Of the town. The offices were in the
lower floor, occupying one side of the building.
On the other side of the wide old fashioned hall
was his dining room. There he sat all by him
self upon this agitating night. 1t was large,
lofty, barely-furnisbed room, with walnscoted
walls, and curious stiff panelling, and high
mantel-shelf which he, though a tall man, could
scarcely reach with his arm. 1t was dimly
lighted, as well as barely urnished-altogether
an inhuman, desert place the poorest, though
the grandest, of all we have yet looked into in
Cariingford Mr.. Brown was not sensible of
It's inhospitable aspect; he was used to it, and
tina twasEenough. It.occurred to him as little to
cntlelse his house as to criticise his manners
thus they WERE, and thus they would contin-
ue' at least he had always believed SO till to-
night.
He sat in his easy-chair with his feet on the
fender, and little table at his elbow with his
vine AS long as there was anything in his
glass he slipped it by habit, without being aware
OF what he was doing; but when the glass was
empty, though he had two or three times rails
ed it empty to his lips, he was too much ab-
soloed IN his thoughts to replenish it. He was
not by any means q handsome man and he
was tiTe-and-forty or whereabouts, and had a
habit OF making portentous faces, when any
way specially engaged in thought; so that, on
the whole, 1t was not highly attractive or in

Young man, don't be in hurry about getting
married. And what is more, never content
yourself with having commonplace wife. You
want one to stir you up, to keep you moving
to make something of you. Don't fear you can't
get such a one. rember the reply that friend
Of mine made to young man who expressed
fear that a certain young lady of great beauty
and attainments, would dismiss him ifhe became
serious. Friend" said he, "ininitely more
beautiful women than she is, have married in
fnitely meaner men than you are" If you are
honest and honorable, if you are industrious and
the master of your business, if you are indie
pendent and can stand before woman with re-
spect for yourself and fearlessness of her, you
can marry almost any body that is worth hav-
ing. So don't be in hurry; don't give your
self entirely up to calling and compliments Re-
member that here as well as elsewhere, distance
lends enchantment to the view" Rather first
master your business-take position in So
ciety-and make sail the man out of yourself
that the material will admit of, and my word
for it, the marrying part will como all right in
