9" ALL AS One MANA gentleman, in
Pittsburg, Pa, writing to his father in this
city, says of the present troubles:
"The whole North has responded as one
man to the call of the Government for aid.
All political questions are laid aside. At
one time was little inclined torards the
South, but they (the traitors) having fired
into an unarmed United States vessel, thus
preventing the said vessel from relieving a
handful of men in Fort Sumter, have by that
act properly gained the condemnation of the
whole world, This city, at the present time'
is all excitement-everybody wanting to be
a soldier. Just at the present time the mob
are racing Secessionist through the streets
with the intention of hanging him."
The writer of the foregoing volunteered,
and is by this time in the field, serving his
country against those whose cause he es-
poused, SO long as that cause was properly
and legally contested for.-CaH.

The AMERICAN FLAG.-The stars repre-
sent the constellation of Estates" The
idea was taken from "the constellation of
Lyra," which, in the hands Of Orpheus,
signifed harmony. The blue OF the field
was taken from the edges of the Covenan-
ter's banner in Scotland, significant also of
the league and covenant of the United Col
onies against oppression, incidentally in
volying the virtues of vigilance, persever-
ance and justice. The stars were disposed
in a circle, symbolizing the circling serpent
of the Egyptians, signifying eternity. The
thirteen stripes showed the number of the
United Colonies, and denoted the subordin-
alton of the States to the Union, as well as
equality among themselves. The whole
was the blending of the various flags pre-
vious to the Union flag, viz: the red flag
of the army and the white ones of the
floating batteries. The red color, which in
Roman days was the signal of defiance, de-
notes daring, and the white, purity. What
eloquencc do the stars breathe when their
full significance is known! A new con-
stellationi Union! Perpetuityl A cove
nant against oppression Justice, equality,
subordination, courage and purity!

A. REAuTIrUL ExTRAcT.-Some fifteen
years ago Rev. John N. Mafit delivered a
lecture which closed with the following
fine passage:
"Phenix, fabled bird of antiquity, when
it felt the chill advance of age, built its
own funeral urn, and fred its pyre by
means which natures instinct taught. All
its plumagc and its form of beauty became
ashes; but ever would rise the young
beautiful from the urn of death and cham
bers ofdecav seeking the sun, and essaying
its dark velvet wings, sprinkled with gold
and fringed with silver, on the balmy air,
raising little higher until at length in the
full confidence offiight, it gives cry ofjoy,
and soon becomes a glittering speck in the
arial ocean. Lovely veyager of earth,
bound on its heavenward voyage to the
sun! So rises the spirit bird from the
ruins of the body, tie funeral urn which
its maker built, and death fires. So towers
away to its home in the pure elements of
spirituality, the intellect PhGnix, to dip its
proud wings in the fountain of eternal bliss.
So shall dear, precious humanity..survive
from the ashes of burning world. So
beautiful shall the unchanged soul soar
within the disc of Rternity's great lumina-
~, with undazzled eye and unchorded
wings-the Pheuix of immortality-taken
TO its rainbow home, and Graded on the
beating bosom of eternal love-"

LIycoLS's SECESSION RELATIvEs.-The
Montgomery Advertiser of the 7th says that
"Mrs. Todd, of Kentucky, the mothsr-in-

yesterday, en-route for Selma. She was
accompanied by one of her daughters. 1t
is said that she very decidedly refused to
accept the proffered hos2italit.es of the
White House at Washington, not admir-
ing the tenets of the political faith of the
hybrid head of :nfamy.' Her sympathies
are with the South" One of her sons, a
brother to Mrs. Lincoln, is first Lieuten-
ant in the Confederate army.

HARp TINES IN GEoRGIA.-The Louisville
Journal has the following: A lady, who

cause her income, previously ample for ev-

cessities her bills show butter so cents a
pound sirloin, % cents; ham, 25 cents ;
eggs, IS cents a dozenE and other articles

THE BETRAYED.
She sat alone on cold gray stone,
Where tie river made desolate moan.

She sat alone on a cold gray stone,
Where tie river made a desolate moan.
The sycamore trees stood white and bare,
Like sheeted ghosts in the dusky air.
A black cloud fioated along the sky
And night bird uttered dismal cry.
Sadly she thought of the innocent time
Wildly she wept for her shame and crime.
Darker and deeper the shadows grow;
He promised to meet her an hour ago.
She sat alone on the cold gray stone,
And the river flowed with a sadder moan.
She heard the hum OF the distant town,
And patter of dead leaves falling down.
She heard the toad in the long dark grass;
But never HIS tread-alas, alas
The morning came with its golden light,
To the sycamore trees so bare and white.
The mists that slept on the rivers brim,
Went up like the wings of cherubim.
The water lilies, so cold and fair,
Were tangled with tresses of light brown hair
%. The osiers bent with quiet grace,
Over q form with still white face.
The river flowed with desolate moan.
The dead leaves fell on the cold gray stone.

only test they make:
1. Recognition of the majesty of the Con-
stitution of the United States.
2. Difference to, and pledge TO support
the President of the United States.
g. A declaration that the laws of the
United States must and shall be executed

means to perpetuate the Union, and to

PAcIrIc CASHMERE CoNPASY.-An associ-
alton oflgentlemen in this county, under the
name and style Of the Pacific Cashmere
Company, have made arrangements with
the United States Cashmere Company of
Tennessee, for the shipment of ffty-two
Cashmere goats, for the purposes of propa-
CATION and the production of Cashmere
wool. We have examined specimens of the
WOOL shorn from the pure, full seven
eighths, three-fourths, and half blood goats,
which are truly magnificent, being as fine
and as soft as silk. The fleece of the first
grade is six inches in length, and is valued
at Ss per pound. The lower grades are
coarser, shorter fleece, and much less in
value for manufacturing purposes. The
celebrated Cashmere shawls, the finest of
which sell for almost fabulous prices, are
manufactured from the wool of the CASH
mere goat.-San Joaquin Republican.

DEAD.-In e1cavating for the temporary
grave of the Duchess of Kent, small open
ing was made into the vault which contains
the collins of Henry VIII, and one of his
queens, Lady Jane Seymour; also the cof-
fins of Charles l., and an infant child of
Queen Anne. The cotins, and even the
c.imsons on which are placed the coronets,
were in a toerable state of preservation,
and the spear hole in the coffin of Henry
VIII, said to have been made by one of the
soldiers of Oliver Cromwell; was clearly
discernable.

GLoRIoUs SENTIMENT OF HENRY CLAY.-1n
1850, Henry Clay uttered the following Ian
guage, strikingly applicable to the present
crisis, in the Senate of the United States:
"Mr. PRESIDENT: have heard with pain
and regret confirmation of the remark |
made, that the sentiment of disunion is be-
coming familiar. hope it is confined to
South Carolina. do not regard it as my
duty what the honorable Senator seems to
regard as his.
"IF KENTUCKY TOMORROW UNFURLS

WILL FIGHT UNDER THAT BANNER. l
OWE A PARAMOUNT ALLEGIANCE TO
THE WHOLE UNION-A SUBORDINATE
ONE TO MY OWN E"-Benton's
Abridgement of Debates, Vol. l6, p. 5s4.]
There speaks the true patriot. We are
shortly to see whether the blood of Clay
still has its living representatives in Old
Kentucky, who will lead the loyal hearts
and hands of her sons in the cause of the
country against the usurpers.
In the same debate, the noble Clay thus
openly denounced the notorious Secession
ist, r. B. Rhe:t, of South Carolina-now q
| leader in the councils of Jeff Davis / Co.:
| Mr.. President, said nothing with respect
to the character of Mr.. Rhett, for might as
we'll name him. But if he pronounced a
| sentiment attributed to him of RAISING the
standard of disunion and of resistance to The
common government, whatever he has been

UNcoNsBcRArED EARTH.-A certain cler-
gynan in Norfolk, England, has been for
years in the habit of manuring his glebe
land by soil carted from the churchyard.-
Last year he had about fifty cart-loads re-
moved for that purpose, and when spread
on this glebe land it was found to have a
large admixture of dead mems bones
skulls and other portions of the human
body being found there in great abundance.
This discovery led to considerable excite
Inent in the parish, an inquiry was inStitut-
ed; and what do you think was his explana-
tionf Why, he deemed it no improperly
because the fifty loads had been taken from
that portion of the consecrated ground
where the unbaptized were usually buried!
And thus the bones of the anbaptized are
used openly and avowedly for mauuring
the parsons glebel Such is the law, in

THE S1AxEsE TWINS SURPAssED.-At YER
sailles an extraordinary birth has just TAX
en- place. A woman named Pons, wife of a
man employed on the Western railway, liv-
ing at "a Rue de Chantlers, brought into
the world two female children joined to-
gether by the head, the bone of the fore
head of one being fastened, for legth OF
shout 81 inches, in the side of the skull OF
the other. The Consequences, that when
one is seen in the face the profile of the
other is presented. The two children,
with the exception of this singularity, are
perfectly well formed, and as they do not
cry or rerform their animal functions at
the same time, it appears that, though their
skulls are joined they have two distinct
brains. The children have been baptized
by the name of Olympic and Therese, and
are in gsod health.
