THE STARS AND STRIPES.

THE STARS AND STRIPES.
BY REV. WIN. c. RICHARDS.
[AIR-"Aald Lang Syne."l
The Stars and Stripes have been our boast
For four score years and more;
And woe betide, the flag beside,
That waves our country DER.
Our fathers set the Stars above,
And ruled the Stripes below;
If they are gone, their Flag lives on,
And we will keep it so.
Thirteen at first, its glittering Stars
Have grown TO thirty-iouT;
Each Star State-and still we wait
TO count the number more.
But some to make the number less
Have wantOnly cOnspired-
A rebel band with traitorous hand,
BY false ambition fired
Unfurl flag unlike our own,
An upstalt. bastard thing;
And swear to hate, each recreant state,
The banner that we sing.
Upon that flag are seven scars,
Seven stars on ours they shOne
And now it flies meath southern skies,
Whence our dear flag is gone!
Gone for day,-perhaps a year,
But not forever gone,
For myriads forth from the great North
Are hurrying Southwark on
Tear that mongrel banner down
And CRIME it in the dust,
That fOuts the sky. where once, on high,
Waved our proud flag and just.
And though the work cost precious blood,
And gold like water flows
It's whole domain-our flag again,
Shall conquer from all foes.
Gods finger writes this promise sure
In all oar glorious past
From sea to sea our flag shall be
The first, alone, and last.
The Stars and Stripes have been our boast,
For four score years and more
And woe betide, the flag beside,
That waves one acre DER!

Explosion of the Union Powder Mills.
New Durham ". H.---Eiye Men Killed.

We learn from the messenger of Niles
Dover Express, some particulars of an ex-
plosion of Powder Mills, at New Durham,
n. H., about two o'clock yesterday after
noon. The Union Powder Mills. which
are situated near the Cocheco Railroad,
twenty-five miles from Dover, are owned
by Mr.. l.. p. Child, of Providence. The
miles were twelve in number, located
about twenty rods apart, forming circle.
The buildings were all cheap wooden
structures.
The first explosion was in the drying
mill. That building was blown into
atoms, and three buildings were set on
fire, exploding soon after. One of these
was used as margarine and contained
four tons of powder Tho explosion was
heard at Dover, and in all the surround
ing country tor many miles. Windows
were shattered in all buildings in the vi
cinity of the mills.
There were seven men employed in
these four buildings at the time. Three
were blown to pieces, and two others so
much injured as to live but short time.
One man had his face badly burned. Our
informant did not know whether the 9TH
er was injured, neither had he learned tho
name Of the persons killed. Tho loss has
been estimated at $4,000 to sl5,U00.--

GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
WAsHINGroN, Aug. IL, 1861.
GsNTLEMFN-I have received a letter
of the 18th inst, from Charles f. Heyer-
man, Esq, stating that Several persons
desirous of enlisting as volunteers during
the present war; wish to know whether
their rights under the Graduation Act of
1854, will be protected during their alb
sence."
The Graduation law cheapens tho
price of public lands which have been in
market for specified periods to the actual
settler, who is required, before making
the entry, to file his affidavit that the
purchase is made for actual settlement
and cultivation. In all cases where such
affidavits have been duly filed, the entries
actually made, and the parties have done
no subsequent act to show that such en-
tries are not bona fde under the law, the
time of this actual continuance In the
military services will not run against
them, provided an affidavit is filed with
the Register by the purchaser, stating
the date of his entry into the military
service, with the particulars. Therefore
the matter will stand in abeyance,-such
entries will not be declared fortified, un-
til an opportunity is afforded to the pur-
chasers who may return to their settle
ments to show they have done so, and
complied with the spirit and intent OF
said act, by actual settlement and culti-
vation which are legally prerequisite to
the delivery of the patents.
1t will be your duty to keep an exact
register of all cases of parties claiming
the benefit Of this privilege, who may file
the requisite affidavit of entrance into ac.
tual military service, and to make re-
turn of the same to this Office at the end
of each month, specifying the number
and date of entry, the name of the pur-
chaser and tract.
In case the purchaser should be killed
or die in actual service, upon prcsenta- ac-
tion of satisfactory evidence of the fact,
and Of some act tending to show the bona
fde intention of the deceased to fulfil the
requirements of the law, his claim will be
confirmed to his heirs or legal representa-
tives,
