A HARVEST SONG.

The toll Of day is ended,
The night is at his moon;
And the harvest song swells blithely up
Beneath the harvest noon:
Then tread quicker measure,
And chant a louder strain;
With dance and song. the days prolong
That bring the golden grain.
From out the distant mountain
Comes the voice OF the cascade,
And the nearer CLEAN of its silver stream
Makes glad the silent glade;
Through all the shadowy forest
Is heard the fall of leaves
And the timid hare tresds stealthily
Among the nodding sheaves.
And now, on every hillside,
The purple vintage glows;
As when n deeper radiance falls
From daylight at its close;
No time is 1t for sadness,
Dependency or fear,
When Autumn comes in gladness,
To crown the fruitful year.
Dear is the pleasant leaf zine,
When all is soft around
When frost.imprisoned rivulets
Are melting into sound,
And dear. too, is the season
When Spring and Summer meet;
When the woods are fnint with odors,
And the hills are dim with heat.
But Spring is but for pasture.
And Summer but for show;
While Autumn, like crowned king,
Has riches to bestow;
So he shall he the monarch
OF all the shining year,
And crown he shall wear, and n sceptc
Of fruits, and the golden ear. Ibear

The Flag OF our Nation.

On the lst Of Dec c,mbcr, 1857, brilliant
description Of the battle of Saratoga was read
before the New York Historical Society, by
Alfred B. Street The paper concluded with
an acc ,unt of the orr gin Of the "Sta's and
Sripes," aud a short poem on "The Flag Of
our Nation" which we transcribe as fJllows:
The most Interesting incident connected
with the battle of Saratoga was the unfurling,
Burgoyr e's surrender
Bunker Hill WAS fought under Asg as red
as the blood it let from British veiuS-but in
June. III, the Continental Congress resov,
ed That the flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white and that the Union be thirteen stars
white on blue field, representing new con-
stellaton.' This was made public in the
September following. Previous to this our
national lanner was the Union flag, combi.
ming the crosses of St, George and st. An
drew, with thirteen ripcs alternate rcd and
white.
The stars of the new flag represented the
new constellation OF States rising in the West
1.-The idea taken from the constellation l. yra,
which, in the hands of Orphou~, signif,d
harmony. The blue Of the fled WAS taken
from the edges of the Covenanters banner in
Scotland, significant also o' the league and
covenant of he United Colonies against op-
pressiop-incr.en,ally Involving the virtues
of vigilance, perseverance, and Justice. Th"
stars were disposed in circle, symbolzng
the perpeuily OF the Uulon--the ring, like
the circIing serpent Of the Egyptians signify
ing eternity. The thirteen stripes showed
with the stars, the number of the United Col
onies, and denoted the subprdInation OF the
States TO tie Union as well as equality among
themscl cs The whole was the blending U'
the various flag, previ Us TO the Union flag,
VIZ: the red flags of the army. and white ones
Of the floating batteries. The red color, also,
which IN Roman days was the signal of def
anco, derotcd daring-and the white, purity.
What cloqurucc de- tue stars and stripes
breathe VIXEN their full Significance is known
A new constellation; Union, pcrpetuity, a
covenant against oppression; justice, equality
subordiustlon, courage, and purity.
And where, now. is not that banner known 7
Trophcd with victories 10 war, ard doubly
uophicd with victories in peace, it is respect

Free
Success to the flag ofour nation,
May its folds all around US I've spread,
1t is blazoned with deeds of the valiant,
And sacred with names Of the dead;
The stars ARE the symbol of Union;
May they ever in unity wave:
The white is the emblem Of honor,
The red is the blood of the brave.
Success TO the flag Of our wtion,
Let it sweep DER the land and the sea!
MAY it kindle new hope where it glitters

protecting it below the parallel of thirty
SIX degrees thirty minutes, North lati-
tude.
1t was especially gratifying, that with
out the knowledge of this proposition, the
enerable and distinguished Crittenden,
the representative man of a political or
ganization, most respectable for its num-
bers and intelligence in all the slavehold-
ing States, should have produced in the
Senate, plan almost identical in terms
and import.
From some cause or other, the resolu
tions introduced by lis on the 10th day of
December, could not be forced to vote
until the 9th instant, when they were re-
Jected by the unanimous vote OF all the
Republican members, aided by one gen
tleman from the South.
Perhaps the saddest evidence that little
hope remains of satisfactory solution,
rests upon what were manifestly the rea-
sons of such refusal, the absolute unwil-
lingness to recognize by formal amend
ment of the Constitution, the right of
property in slaves.
The Senate committee of thirteen found
all its endeavors frutless, by reason Of the
rejection Of Mr. Crittenden's resolutions

a Convention OF the States is proper, that
is tor North Carolina by her Legislature,

ferred upon the Congress the power to

RESIGNATION OF CAPT. DUNNovANT.-
Capt J Ohm Dunnovant, of the 10th U. S.
infantry, has, as already stated, resigned
his commission in the army. He is q citi
zeh of South Carolina, and in his letter of
resignation, dated on the Goth ult., the
day the secession ordinance was passed,
he says:
The State Of South Carolina has this
day resumed the sovereign powers once
conceded the federal government. This
act, on her part, is consistent with my long
cherished feelings and convictions. L can
not, therefore, bring dishonor upon the
service, and, disregarding the most sacred
obligations that every citizen and true
man owes to his native State, longer to
hold office under a government now for
eign, and, in great part, hostile to my Sec
ton"
lie concludes with an expression of re-
gret in having to separate himself from
his brother officers whose acts of kindness
and friendship he will ever remember.

RESIGNATION OF COMMODORE KEARNEY.-
Commodore Kearney, the second on the
Active List of the Navy, has addressed
the follawing letter to the President:
PERTH AMBoY, New Jersey,
December 81, 1860.
SIR 1t is with deep regret that find
myself SO situated, professionally, as to
request to be placed upon the Reserved
List Of the Navy, or otherwise to tender
my resignation of the commission / hold
as Captain.
am very respectfully, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
LAWRENCE KEARNEY.
To Hon. James Buchanan, President OF
the United States.
The Journal of Commerce says that
this resignation or request to be placed on
the retired list arises from a reluctance on
the part of Commodore Kearney TO take q
hostile position against the Southern peo-
pie, which, in the present disturbed po-
sition Of the country, he might be required
to do, If not under the present adininistra-
ton, at least under that OF IFS successor.
He had served on the Southern coast in
the war Of 1912 Is, and has been long
intimate with the Southern people.

Personal Sketches of South Carolina
secessionists.
A Charleston correspondent says !:

A Charleston correspondent says:
he is more commonly called, is gentle
man of medium height, and of a thin, spare
frame, with face so wrinkled and care
worn that it light almost be called peak
ed, with brownish tuft of hair about the
chin, and moustache of the same color,
with short aquiline nose, and an anxious
eye. Everything in the physique OF Mr..
Jameson seems to indicate a man Of quick
mercuriaI character. And yet those who
should thus set him down, would find,
when he began to speak, that they were
sadly out in their reckoning.
A more deliberate speaker than Mr..
Jameson, a gentleman of more slow and
determined manner, probably does not ex-
ist.
Col. Thos. Y. Simmons, the clerk,
though not unlike Mr.. Jameson as TO
physical characteristics, is morally his ex-
act antipodes. Mr.. Simmons is far below
the average height, and probably could
not reach an altitude, even in his highest
heeled boots, greater than four feet ten
inches He is smooth shaven and has a
perfectly pallid countenance. His fore
head is naturally high, land is rendered i'll
appearance still higher by the absence Of
hair on the front part of his head. The
hair is dark brown in color, and has
slight roll at the ends. Mr.. Simmons has
a rapid utterance, and is OF a quick and
nervous temperament.
While we are taking this rapid pen-a nd
ink sketch of Mr.. Simmons, some one ur
ges on behalf of Governor (now delegate)
Gist that that gentleman be permitted to
sign his name upon the roll without wait
ing for his turn to come, as he has to i'm
oboout bincoff from tho oon-
yention in order to attend the Inaugural
ton of his successor, Mr.. Pickens, to the
gubernatorial chair. The request is gran
ted ard Mr.. Gist comes forward to sign
his name. He has a smooth, full face, as
Mr.. Gist, and figure OF medium height,
| somewhat inclined to enaboaaposaat. Long
| thin, black hair has been natures contri-
button to him in the way of che0elaere, and
he wears pair Of gold specks astride
! what seems to US very determined
nose.
As the Ex-Governor makes his way out
of the church, he stops moUlent to speak
| to a gentlemen of ditninutive stature, but
of impressive head, who half stands, half
! leans against pew in the middle aisle
| This gentleman, buttoned tightly up
