OUR FLAG.

BY II. 4. WOODBURY..
The boast of every loyal heart.
How proudly waves our starry flag
Kissed by each gentle gale that blows
Ger fertile vale or rugged crag,
Beneath its folds our fathers fought,
And gained heritage sublime,
Which shall descend from sire to son,
Until the end of time.
Flag Of the brave we love thee still,
The memories of the past all live
Within our heart. To thee we yield
The pro1dest homage man can give,
And swear anew, by all we are,
By all we ever hope to be,
That to the end we will defend
The Banner of the free.
Whenever treason would assail
That flag with rude, rebellious hand,
Millions of freemen shall arise,
Minerva-like, through all our land
And, marching meath its ample folds.
Defend it to their latest breath,
The battle-ery, throughout the strife,
To every traitor-DEATH;

AIoihind,a Reaureanrd.

General Peter G.. Toutant, alias Beaure.
gard, has written q number Of foolish docu-
ments and letters since he obtained, through
treason, the prominent place he now holds.
The letter to the Richmond Whig which we
published yesterday, is not more foolish nor
more wise than his previous literary efforts.
In composition and punctuation it would
disgrace q Northern schOol-bOy. In ideas
and illustrations it is very puerile. Having
no particular interest in the subject of the
controversy it refers to, which is altogether
between Beauregard and the rebel govern
ment, we can not be accused Of undue preju-
dice against either side.
But General Beauregard in that precious
epistle, compares himself to Alcibiades, and
this has prompted US to overhaul the CLASH
cal dictionaries, so ag to discover the points
of resemblance between the Athenian and
the Creole. These are more numerous and
peculiar than we could have supposed, and
they force US to believe that Beauregard,
without having the genius of Alcibiades, has
adopted him as his model, and is shaping a
career as closely in imitation of his Greek
prototype as is possible for man of small
capital in brains.
1t appears, from the authorities referred
to, that Alcibiades was an officer in the
Athenian army, and that as things did not
go altogether according as he wished, he
stirred up q rebellion in Sparta. He got up
| an dIuy Vi LhCeuanOnlhub 10 u1hh6 war
| against his own government. He intrigued
for an allisnce with the King of Persia. He
| had considerable success for a time, but fin
ally betrayed the Spartsns, as he had be.
trayed the Athenians, and contrived to be
forgiven and recalled to Athens. Thus he
| was a double traitor-first to his own coun-
| try, and then to the cause of the rebels he
| bad led into the field. He afterward en-
deavored to atone for his infidelity to his
| country by gallant service; but the stigma
Of treason clings to his memory even W,
in spite of his splendid abilities. A plot was
laid to entrap him by the Spartans whom he
had betrayed, and he was ignominiously put
| to death
The reader will not fail to see the features
| of resemblance in the career of the two trail
tors; and when told by Beauregard how
much be sdmires the Atheniau traitor, he
will not be surprised at his perfidy. He is
now in the position of Alcibiades at the time
the rebellion of the Spartans seemed most
topromise success, quarreling with the gen.
erals and politicians that had trusted to his
integrity as well as to his valor. He is base
enough to betray the cause he is engaged in,
if be has the opportunity; but he is not wise
enough to recover resemblance of reputa-
ton, as his prototype did. Moreover, we have
an idea that before he will be able TO carry
on much further the parallel between hims Il
and the Athenian General, the armies of the
Union will extipguish him etfectually.--

General sherman,

We are sorry that paragraph found its
way into our columns few days ago, stating
that General Sherman, who lately officiated
here as the head of the Department of the
Cumberland, has become insane. Such
statements ought not to be published, except
upon the strongest evidence of their truth.
They often originate in the random asser.
tions or the vague and careless coniectures
of malicious or idle men, and such, we ap.
nrehend. is the case in the present instance.
General Sherman is one of the most ac-
complished officers in the United States serv-
ice. His mind is probably unsurpassed in
power and comprehensivene by that of any
military man of our country. He sees
clearly, grasps strongly, and combines skill
fully. In his dauntless heroism he is the
equal of Richard of the Lion Heart. His de-
pertinent at the battle of Bulls Run, as we
have heard it described by eye witnesses,
was worthy of the greatest hero of any age
While General Sherman was at the head
of affairs in this Military Department, the
amount of labor he performed was literally
prodigious. He felt his vast responsibility
and acted fully up toit. The whole of every
day and large portion of every night he
gave to his country. In decision and actor,
he was keen, prompt and energetic. Ii
would of course be no discredit to such a
man if his over-wrought brain were to yield
temporarily to the constant and terrible
pressure OF care and labor, though it would
certainly be serious public calamity. But
we are happy in being assured that nothing
of that kind has occurred in his case. He
has been deemed insane only by those who
could not comprehend him.. We know that
his health, like that of the noble and gallant
Anderson, has been deeply affected by
anxiety and mental toll, but his intellect
we are happy TO learn, is as calm aud firm as
it ever was. If the condition his health
has rendered necessary suspension of his
labors, we know that his heroic spirit will
chafe in his seclusion from the stirring scenes
of action, but we trust that he will soon be
restored to the thester Of his bright renown.

Tfrom the Toronto (Oanada) LEADER
An Auoarfesu Offiear InsultRd

An sficer of the Federal Army hiss been
paradipg the streets Of Toronto, in full dress,
these two OF three days. He is In bran new,
bright and shining Yankee uniform, and some
inQIgnaiion has been excited BY the impertinsnt
display. It is remembered that British officer,
off duty, in his own town, wears plain undress
garb, and that in another country he would ap-
pear as an ordinary civilian. Northern officers,
Il il said, should behave with equal propriety.
Perhaps, however, the suggestion presupposes
too much. Our visitor may not have another
coat. While parading King street yesterday

We rather like the new order of things
that has been inaugurated by the Command
ant of ''all the troops in Kansas" and is so
well carried out by the ver.popular Major
of the "bloody Second" W. F. Cloud.
Nothing so soon creates disorder, or is more
prolific of damaged peppers, than the pres
ence in city ofa large body of soldiers,
without proper restraint upon their actions,
while with the discipline necessary to the
good conduct of an army, no Inconvenience
need be felt and no fears entertained by that
portion of our people who have not donned
the sword and buckler, and entered the court
We may be said to have had "too much
military lying around loose for the past few
months. Oyercoats, a Ia nliiitdiTe, black,
blue and gray, met one at every turn; they
incumbered the sidewalks hand clustered
about the hotel stoves with as much peril
nacity as buZzards alound q carcass, while
the clank Of sabers and the click Of ire
sponsihle FeVolvers, was not calculated to in
spire q. timid individual with any great de-
gree of confidence. Soldiers are soldiers,
but they belong to the camp, and not TO the
ordinary walks Of civil life. .5
When General Mcclellan came to the con-
clusion that the banks of the Potomac, rather
than Wizards and Pennsylvania-avenue
was the place for shoulder straps and gilt
buttons, that moment the grand army began
TO assume more the appearance OF an organ
ization than mere mob and we are glad
that General Denver has arrived at the same
conclusion, Give ''all the troops in Kansas
more drill and discipline, and less lager beeI
and 'lightping," and the difference will b

The La Crosse Republican thinks the Pres
ident has acted wisely in not making the
slavery question prominent topic in his
message. 1t says
The slavery question has been pretty
thoroughly talked out; and it is now time
for action. AS whole, the message does
not fully come up to the wishes and expec-
tations of those who desired to hear from the
Executive new and violent denuuciations
} sgsinst slavery and slave owners but it
does satisfy all who appreciate prudence and
fidelity in a man who is surrounded by man
ifold dangers. The massage does not expose
the policy of the Administration very mi
nutely, for the very good reason that il is dan
gerous to talk too freely when thereis 30
much work to be done, and the enemy is
| listening. G..
