TnE SrAR.SrANGLED BASSER.-We see
cery much in Northern prints, says the
Montgomery Adcerfiser, about the flag of
the Union. Tho speeches of Northern
orators are full of illusions TO the starry
banner, and the people are appealed to
by all the sacred memories which cluster
about that banner, to stand by and defend
il TO the last Ignorant people are delud-
ed with the idea that the flag is the same
rs that which toated over the battle fields
of the Revolution, and their remember
ance of the many glorious victories
achieved under its folds is called upon
to arouse their patriotism. This uproar
about the sacredness OF the flag is all
CANNON. There is no particular interest
attaching to the Star-Spangled Banner
1t is not the flag under which our fathers
fought the battles of the old Revolution /;
neither is it the samo as the one that
floatcd over the field of battle in the war
of 1912. The present flag of the United
States was adopted in lSls-less than
fifty years ago-from design by Capt,
Samuel C. Reid. There was nothing in its
adoption to render it sacred in the eyes
of any one, and there has been nothing
in its history sinco to make it SO. This
profcsscd devotion to the flag of the I'm
ion is pure bunkum.

Virginia Forces Called Out.


The Governor of Virginia has issued q
proclamation, in which he requires call
the volunteer companies which may have
been formed in the several counties and
corporations of the Commonwealth, not
already mustered in the service, to re-
pair forthwith. and without awaiting any
further orders, to the places of rendez
vous designated by my proclamation of
Sd day of May, 1861, there to be mus
tered into the service of Virginia.
"And | do furthermore invoke the
good people of Virginia to organize
themselves into volunteer companies,
and arm themselves with such arms as
may have been furnished them, or they
may be able to procure, and repair
promptly to such places of rendezvous.
"And Furthermore require the Mill
tia of the Line to hold themselves in
readiness for immediate service, and arm
themselves with such arms as may have
been issued to them, or they may be able
to procure; and the company officers are
required to assemble their companies, at
least once week, at their usual place of
mastering, for inspection and drill, that
they may be enabled to repel the invad-
ers of our soil
"And furthermore enjon upon all
the good people of this Commonwealth,
to deport themselves with the calmness
and composure becoming free people,
conscious OF their rights, and resolved
to maintain them, nothing doubling
that by the patriotic devotion, concen-
trated energy and determined will of
the people, in firm reliance upon the
blessing of Divine Providence, we shall
be able to maintain the liberty, independ-
ence and integrity of our ancient Com
monwealth, and the safety, honor and
welfare of the Confederate States"

A BRIGHT OMES.-The Louisville Couri-
er of the Goth contains a long and able
letter from Ex-Governor Morehead, of
Kentucky, upon the present condition
of our country. Gov. Morehead, has
stood at the head of the Union men and
the Old Wing Party Of Kentucky, and
in his absence, was elected to the Border
State Convention short time since. In
this letter he exposes in unmeasured
terms, the unconstitutional usurpations
Of the Lincoln Administration, and
whilst he does not advocate the policy Of
secession, he says that the subjuga-
ton Of the South by the North, would
be the destruction Of every interest of
the people of kentucky; and that in the
event of such invasion and subjugation
being attempted, it is clearly the duty of
Kentucky to unsheath her sword for the
defense of the South. Gov. Morehead
enjoys a large share of the confidence Of
the people Of Kentucky, and is capable
of controlling an immense influence.

lessness, which have produced panic

ruin.
Mr.. VIM. Turnbull shared similar fate
TO Mr.. Anderson, saving nothing but a
horse and wagon, in which he and his
wife and seven children reached the
steamboat wharf yesterday, and are now

The house Of Mr.. Algernon Whiting

The Citizen ScIdiery,

The senior editor of the Memphis Aya-
lonche has just returned from short visit
to the South. lie says:
What we saw and heard during our ab.
scnce convinces US that there is no power
on earth that can subdue the Southern
people. From Memphis to New Orleans
every high way was chol;ed with COM
pany Of brawny militia. From Mobile to
Corinth, Miss, every depot was swarmed
with stalwart men ready and anxious to
march IN defence of the South. Nearly
a thousand troops were on the train
from Mobile, and we found at every
depot q company Of soldiers full of robust
health, expert in the use of weapons, in
ured to hardships. and burning with en-
thusiasm. Indeed, the South presents
the appearance of a great camp. The
very genius of battle seems to have de-
scended upon our people. The stipend
Gus uprising of the varlikc yeomanry far
surpasses public expectation.
Every cabin furnishes its man, ready to
20 forth in defence of their menaccd
liberties. Every man seems to compre-
hend the mighty issues for which they
are ready to battle-Nor was the heart
of man alone stirred with patriotic emo
tions. Thousands of women thronred
the roadside, and with their tears and
smiles nerved the hearts of the soldiers
with strength and hope. From each
housetop hoatcd the Confederate flag,
and from almost every window and door
waved white handkerchief The sleek
fat negro, seeming to comprehend that
he was happier and far better cared for
than the poor whites of the North. paused
in the unfinished furrow, and raised his
dusky cap in cheers for the train of soldi-
ers that was rushing by Talk about sub
juga,ing such a people! What a profa-
nation.

OF the New York Journal Of Commerce. is a

WHAT ARE WE FiGnTiyG roR.-Are we

and Cairo?
Are we fighting merely TO keep the
enemy out Of the free Static?
Are we fighting merely to retake Fort
Sumter?
When shall we retakc IL!
What shall we do with it?
What shall wc do further, after We have
retalscn il?
DO we simply wish to retaliate?
How will injuring the Southerners bene-
fit usl
Is retaliation Christian?
What else shsY.TTe 90 besides retslia-
Can we conquer the South in the fevers
and heat Of this SUMMER
Are We sure we can do it next winter?
What will be the benefit OF a long war
to Our commerce and our morals?
What shall We gain by conquering the
Soutberners?
Can we subdue them into loving obedi-
ence?
What is any other obedience worth?
Are we fighting to enslave our fellow
citizens?
Are we fighting to free their slaves2
How shall we do it?
Will the masters consent?
Shall we free the slaves against the
.npsters' consent?
WI the masters then ever yield us
anv obedience which will not cost more
to get and to keep than it is worth?
Do we want any States in this Union
which can only be kept in by other States
bavonets?
Will thi. war conciliate the Southerners? :?
viii anything ever conciliate them into
obedience but compromise?
How long will peace based on new
compromises to slavery last?
Can we make the seeded States willing
members of our Union?
Do we want unwilling members?
Are we sure we can keep the seeded
States in the Union if they do not come
back with wish to be friends with us?
Will conquering them make them wish
to be friends with US?
If they do not wish to be friends with
us, why should we keep them in the
Union?
Will not the withdrawal of Government
protection and patronage, give them n
good opportunity to consider what these
are worth2
May we not be obliged to let them out
Of the Union any way sooner or later?
five must let them 60, how much blood
shall we shed first?
Cannot the next Congress so amend
the Constitution as to let them go?
Cannot the States that shall remain,
give each other such guarantees as will
prevent any further secession without
general consent?
If jeff. Davis is in any danger of being
conquered, 10 he not sharp enough to see
it?
Will not this exhibition of our strength
MAKE him glad to make peace on reason
able terms?
What are VIC fighting about that is

The Spirit Of the Rebels.

Colonel Lander tells an amusing inci-
dent, as Illustrative Of the spirit that gov
crns the Virginia rebels. As he was
ahead OF the troops, riding down the
road, rcconnoitcring, he came TO house
by the roadside, where the woman of it
was up, when Yankce-like, he began to
question her about the number of Seccs-
sionists in the neighborhood. She want.
ed to know what side he belonged to-
lie replied by asking if she supposed he
would be in that neighborhood if he did
not want to join the Secessionsts. lie
learned from her that the rebels had no
artillery. Before he returned from his
reconnaissance Of the town OF Philiippi
the woman had discovered her mistake,
and had pistol in hand for him, which
she discharged at him, without any dam
age, however. He took oil his hat anu
bowed to her, and begged her not to
shoot at his men, as they would kill her.
just then the advance Of his reconnoit-
ering party came up, when he ordered a
couple Of them to seize the womnn's son,
q lad Of about seventeen, to prevent him
informing the enemy Of their approach.
The boy was Immediately seized, when
the mother came at them with an axe
and the fury Of a savage, and they had
to let the boy go to defend themselves,
when he TOOK to the woods, and was soon
lost to sight. As the main body of troops
marched by she fired her pistol at them
also, but without effect. her door receiv'
ing in return some half dozen rifie-bal
pcrrorations, to remind her that shooting
was dangerous business Cincinnati En-
