A New Flag.

It appears to be admitted that the present flag of the Confederacy has failed, in some respects, to answer the purpose. It is not distinct enough andIis half imitation of the old stars and stripes.
 The Confederate generals in Virginia, have invented battle flag which, it was intimated, might become the flag of the Confederacy. It is number of stars in the shape of cross, in- tended to represent the southern constellation ot that name. A writer in the Richmond Dispatch shows that the southern cross is not to be seen l in our sky, and 1t is, therefore, inappropriate It would do very we'll for a transequatorial na- tion, but not for ours. Besides, the writer may have added, that 1t resembles the coat of arms o Switzerland, which is a cross in the centre. The writer in the dispatch, in a fine piece of word painting gives us another flag. A description of it will be found in another place, the promn- ent feature of which is sun in the center, on a bar or band of blue, on each side of which there is stripe of white and the upper left hand and lower right hand corners are formed of triangle of red. The Richmond Examiner disposes of this by showing that the blue bend or bar is a bar sinister. This in heraldry, denotes bastardy, and something not honestly or directly obtained. We might treat these old heraldic devices and symbols with disdain, but we are to make flag not only for ourselves, but to be seen in foreign countries where these things are noted, respects ed and commented upon.
 The Examiner proposes the old flag of France, the fenr de It's or lilies of the Bourbons. But objections will be made to this, not the least being that it was the symbol of a race of ty- rants, and it's want of originality
 In the getting up of flag we must aim at originality. The old stars and stripes was al- most 6 literal copy of a flag of one of the South American States. We want it distinct, emblem atical and expressive. So far none of those proposed seems to meet with general favor.- The " sun flag" of the Richmond Dispatch fills the requirements in several respects, but there are objections even to that

Snobbery.

The N. P. Willises, Jenkinses and snobs generally of the North, not satisfied
 with their political debasement, are striving to lower themselves in the social scale by toadyism and fuckeyism to such creatures as the Lincoln family. Willis calls it a court and the term Presidentess" not being aristocratic enough, he calls old nanny Lincoln, Lady L." Her movements were noted in the manner the Court Journal
 speaks of the movements of the queen. As for the Baboon, he is well known. Bob. his son, is simply cub. Mrs. Lincoln is simply little woman with very linn itei education, small brain and of decid- edly wretched tastes. Those who know her describe her as pretentous, vain, spoil ed woman who has not sense enough to know she is fool She is very dressy,
 showy, with a neSro-like penchant for gay colors and enormous bows of ribbon put on without regard to adaptation or in conso- nance with good taste. Hence the attempts to bespatter such set with courtIy lan
 guage is the more ridiculous by contrast.
 The Yankees are naturally Q sorvile race. They disgust foreigners with their cringing to title and worship of nobility. As a sample of their degradation their papers say that Fremont and his wife attended Henry Ward Beecher's church some few Sundays ago. The congregation rose when
 Jessie and her poorer half entered and at the close of the sermon pressed around the pew to shake hands with them, escorted them to the carriage, and as they drove off, gave them three rousing cheers. And this on the Sabbath! Mrs. Lincoln was in New York and the papers announce with much satisfaction at what stores she bought goods and how she seemed pleased. What a strange, lickspittle set these Yankees are

4 Standing Federal Lie Exposed.

In the matters submitted to the federal con gress, by their President and his secretaries, we naturally looked for report of decreased re-
 ceipts from customs, sales of lands, patents and other sources. But, we as naturally supposed, that the post-ofice department would yield them a handsome revenue. The Yankees are essen tially a letter writing people and it is cheap sort of distinction which they highly prize, to receive large number of letters. With half million of soldiers in their army, in daily com
 munication with their friends at home, and re-
 ceiving as well as sending letters, and the bus
 ness correspondence of their merchants, manu- facturers and others, it was natural to expect increased receipts. Within the two years past we have twice called the attention of our readers to the reports of the postmaster general of the then United States. The greatest deficit then was about two millions of dollars. With the exception of Brown, the postmasters general, including the infamous Jo. Holt, accounted for it by the excess of expenditures over the receipts in the southern States. They demonstrated this by carefully prepared tables, showing the amounts expended and received in each State, and by this means brought the South largely in debt. We showed then that the calculation was not fair one, for where mail route began in a black slave State and ended in white slave State, or Ujce rsrsa, if one of the termini was in the South the route was charged to her. Thus the mail line to California was charged to Lou isiana, because one end of the route was at N CIV Orleans. Nevertheless, considering the sparse population at the South in proportion to the territory, and that an agricultural people had but comparatively little correspondence, it was but fair to admit that the postal service in the South was an expense And the Yankees twit- ted us with this continually and as threat said they would cut us off from postal communica- tions if we did not bow to the t.vrant. Last spring the South was cut off and mail con- tractors in the South have been reused pay from the Lincoln government. This alleged

w Western News.

In addition to the account in another column of the latest fight with the Indians, received by the Fort Smith News of the l4th inst, we glean the following news from the Van Buren and Fort Smith exchanges of the 18th and 18th dates.
 Col Mcintosh, who was commanding Gen. McCulloch's division in his absence, left Van Buren on the l7th inst, for the Indian country with the following force:
 Stones 9th regiment of Texas cavalry under command of LeutCol. Griffith.
 Five full companies of Greer's Texas regiment, under command of Lieut-Col. Lane.
 Four full companies from McIntosh's Arkansas regiment.
 Eight full companies from Young's Texas regi- ment.
 And Maj. Whitfeld's battalion of mounted rifle men.
 Col Mcintosh had determined to pursue a vigorous policy in dealing with Opothleyholo, and with Col. Cooper, will undoubtedly succeed in ridding the Indian country of that old mis- chiefmaker and his allies.
 Great activity, says the News, was prevailing in the quartermaster's department Trains had been leaving almost hourly for two days. It was thought that the scarcity of forage would be great impeachment to the campaign, but Mai Clark was at work with his usual energy, determined to do all in his power to cope with and overcome the obstacle. He always succeeds.
 Capt. Frank c. Armstrong volunteered his services as aid to Col. McInt osh, in the cam paign against the hostile Indians.
 
 The Van Buren Press says:
 "The order for Greer'eregiment to march to the assistance of Col Cooper, was made out Saturday night at headquarters, and reached Camp Wigfall Sunday morning about o'clock, and at noon, Sun day, they had arrived here, l2 miles, their way up. We learn, from Maj. Clifton, that the utmost enthusiasm was manifested at this unexpected or der, and all were eiger for tAe atfray.
 Col. Stones regiment arrived here Tuesday evening, and camped near the city, and passed on

Raiainp the Wind.

We have before us in the Courier, published at Bowling Green, Ky synopsis of the re" port of Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury, Salmon P. Chase. Among the bunderS com mitted by Lincoln, was that of putting Came ron in the war instead of the treasury depart ment. Simon is fnancier by profession; ln- deed, may be said to possess the most aStute financial skill known to political ethlcs. TIT Nevertheless Chase is some on figures himself. He had big sum to do, and he makes the an swer come out to suit, but whether 1t was done according to rule is question. He has sue ceoded in borrowing two hundred millions ot dollars. He says that his former estimates ot receipts and expenditures were all wrong From lands, customs and miscellaneous sour ces, about one half of what he expected was received, and the expenditure ran beyond all calculation. It is well known that the expen- ses of Lincoln's government are over million of dollars day. He states that it is believed the war win terminate by midsummer, and adds: C If the war continues until July l, 1862, the public debt will be $5l7,322 1892; if till July l, l853 it will be nine hundred millions" Dou- ble these figures and he will begin to approXi- mate the truth. To keep the machine running, Chase proposes to raise as follows: By laying tax of cents on sugar, cents on coffee, and twenty cents on tea, and keeping up the Merrill tariff, he expects to raise from customs, $32, 0O0,000; receipts for lands and miscellaneous sources, $2 900; direct tax of forty cents on the hundred dollars, including among the tobacco, carriages, legaces, paper, evidences of debt, conveyances, deeds, bills of sale, etc., $20,00O,000 an income tax, $l0,000, ,000- This amounts to sixty-four millions of dollars, about enough to pay the interest and keep the concern grinding for one month in the year, By dint of hard scratching of the head, the astute'' secretary fixes up plan to raise the wind for the remaining eleven months. He would conGscate all property of the rebels wherever found. He thinks something can be raised by stealing rice and cotton on the coast. He was not aware that the planters would burn their crops. He does not think negroes stolen from their masters can bo sold, but they can be made to work for their captors. Slavery is 50 horrible that he would not sell slave, but ad. visos the government to work them till 1t gets tired of them. But even all these schemes fail to raise sufficient quantity of wind, and he recommends that the rump government shall resolve itself into 9 bank and issue notes and shinpIasters, ad HJium. Those conversant with such affairs, know that Cameron cannot raise by ordinary means twenty millions next year. If England declares war, their revenue for customs will be absolutely nothing. They must resort to direct taxation and the issuance of treasury notes and will break down in six months Tie universal Yankee nation is nor ally, politically and financially bankrupt.

 WASHINGTON, Dec 9.
 The discussion in the Senate concerning the military disasters, on the resolution for com mittee of inquiry into the general conduct of the war, by Fessenden, Grimes, Wilson and others, was uncommonly earnest and interesting. Sher- man c0ntrasted the selt,sacri6cing energy of the country with the supineness and Iukewarmness here. Wilson re(errea to the contradictions of the proclamations issued by Generals of differ, ent corps of the army, and the lack of common system or policy. He thought the campaign in South Carolina the worst chapter of the war; All agree that there had been blundering some where.
 The majority for Loveioy's motion was smaller than 1t would have been, had another made it.
 Judge Trumbull will shortly introduce bill recognizing the Supreme Court on the basis of population.
 The New England States, New York and Pennsylvania, embracing ten millions, retain three Judges, Clifford, Nelson and Greer; the Southern States, excepting Kentucky and Mis- souri, embracing ten millions, Fancy, Wayne and Catron; the Western States, including Ken lucky and Missouri, ten and half millions, three new Judges, Kentucky and Ohio one circuit; Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Southern Wisconsin. Minnesota Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, another: Pacific States remain as before under an inde pendent circuit judge.
 Secretary Chase said, in response to toast at dinner given by the Union Club of New York, that the blackest negro in South Carolina though black as midnight, was, in his eyes winter than the whitest rebel. Vehemcntlv cheered by the company, among whom was Wm B. Astor
 A brigadier general to-day remarked that the army of the Potomac was trying the exhaustion process, and was not exhausting the rebels, but the treasury.

 Col. karrigan's trial for conduct preiudicial to good order, was commenced to-day.

TIE GoYEBNoR's PRocLAMAIIoy- Week before last we published the prool4i iaation which Col. B0r'and found it necessary issue on account of the abuses and eztortions of spoculators fin the section Of country committed to his care This week we are called upon to publish a co1ul- ter proclamation from inc Governor. The lat ter document is . remarkable one, and 1t must be a source of regret generally that the Cover nor should have considered its issuance neces- sary, particularly as it prefers grave charge against the authorities of the Confederate States
 And, aDpy0pos to this subject, we think the proclamation of Col. Borland has been miscon- straod 1y the Washington Telegraph, and per ha0. by others. Col B. has no military autho- rity west Of White river, and his proclamation cannot, in our opinion, be construed as an as- sumption of any such authority. He plainly set forth in the preamble to his orders, that he issued them to make good the defence and protection of the country committed to his care This language is nlain and ought to be easily understood. ;
 Something of the nature of Col Borland's proclamation may havs been necessary, because the Governor of Arhaasas had failed to pursue a coarse adopted by the executives of other States in arrestiug the operations of speculators and extortionors. Our mechanics an1 others are now suffering for the lack of materials which have been bought up and taken from the State by these shyIooks. Ysmay reeur to this sub, isct again.
