hundred thousand men have already
been rendered, whenever they shall be
wanted. Tho support of this great
army is On easy thing, a matter already
provided for by voluntary offering. 1t
requires no forced loans, and no appeal
to reluctant money market. In the
war the enemies of the republic have
forced on us, we can raise hundred
millions without the least difficulty, as
the events of three short days must
have proved. Indeed, the action of
the people of these loyal States is ma:
jestic in its enthusiasm, unanimity and
forcc-in everything it has been called
upon to do. The people who have
been reviled and despised by tho scccs-
sionists are in flush of excited deter
mination, not to crush out home trca-
son, for none such dare breathe, but to
crush out treason in every part of the
Union.-Philadelphia North american.

Flae.Raising at Oak Point.

Pursuant to previous notice, the citi-
lens in the vicinity of Oak Point as
sembled on June II, 1861, for the pur-
pose of hosting a Union flag, at the
Oak Point Mills.
The meeting was organized by call
ing r. w. POntius to the chair, and
chosing X. Il. Lockwood Secretary.
On motion, a committee of three
were appointed to prepare resolutions,
consisting of +. w. Conyers, +. S. Bry-
ant, and r. Steward, who reported the
following:
Resolrca, That we pledge our lives
and sacred honor to stand by the Con-
stitution and the Flag Of our Union;
and death to the traitor who dares de-
spoil or tarnish either.
Resolrett, That although we are far
from the scene of action we feel it to he
our duty, as true patriots, to express
our devotion to the cause Of our coun-
try under all circumstances, and our
readiness to aid, by all means in our
power, in the accomplishment Of that
noble work Of freedom, and the sup
preston of tyranny and despotism.
On motion, resolutions adopted.
Here followed speeches and toasts.
The following communication, from
the ladies of Oak Point, was received
and read amidst applause:
We, the ladies of Oak Point, present
our compliments to the gentlemen of
the steamer Multnomah, who so uncX-
pcctcdly and unccrcmoniously raised
their flag at the wharf, on Tuesday
morning, June II; but, gentlemen, we
must say that your gallantry has under
gone some little distrust, by anticipat-
ing the very great privilege that we
had so fondly hoped to enjoy in giving
expression to our patriotic loyalty to
our glorious but menaced Union, by
raising the flag as designed by us; and,
gentlemen, to assure you that we are
not to be thus wholly frustrated, we
hereby inform you that the respected
but unfortunate flag was pulled down
and hoisted by our own patriotic hands.
We cannot forget, though wo will try
to forgive the unpleasant indignity,
since you are evidently Union men.
Respectfully submitted.
On motion, Resolred, That the pro-
ceedings Of this meeting be published
in the WASHINGTON STANDARD and Or
egonian.
On motion, adjourned sine die.

Scatter the Gems of the Beautiful.

Scatter the gems of the beautiful!
BY the w"yside let them fall
That the rose may spring by the cottage gate,
And the vine on the garden wall
Cover the rough and the rude of earth
With veil of leaves and flowers,
And mark, with the opening bud and cup,
The march of the summer hours.
Scatter the gems of the beautiful
In the holy shrine of home;
Let the pure, and the fair, and the graceful
there
In their lOveliest lustre come
Leave not trace of de!ormity
In the temple of the heart,
But gather about its hearth the gems
Of Nature and of Art.
Scatter the gems Of the beautiful
In the temples of our God
The God who starred the uplfted sky,
And flOwered the tramlped sod
When he built temple for himself
And home for his priestly race,
lie reared each arch in symmetry,
And curved each line in grace.
Scatter the gems of the beautiful
In the depths OF the human soul;
They shall bud and blossom, and bear the fruit
While the endless ages roll;
Plant with the flowers of charity
The portals of the tomb,
And the fair and pure about thy path
in paradise will blo0m

The Knoxville Whiyis the only journal
outside of st. Louis in the Slave States
which stands boldly and squarcly up to
the defense of the government, sup
porting the President without polish
and without reservation. In his paper
Of tho 18th, Brownlow says:
eve have looked the matter full in
the face, and we are still on the side of
the Government. We shall take sides
with the Stars and Stripes, and in the
face of all the bullying And clustering
of Disunionists, we indorse the action
of our Government. Insult after in
suit has been offered, without resent
ment on the part of our Government;
and worse than all, a deliberate purpose
to march upon the Capitol at Washing
ton, by the rebels of the Southern Con-
federacy, has come to light, and it is
the duty Of the Government to defend
it, until, the Potomac runs with blood
to its mouth! This army called for il
ready to defend the Capital, in part at
least. , aAs a
1--WE are glad to see it, AZ much as
we deprecate the shedding Of blood.
It demonstrates the fact that we have q
Government, and we say let that, fact
stand out before the world id bold re-
lief, in requires seren years war to
demonstrate IT,"
