Gen. Qnarles on the Tariff.
[From Lhe NaahYille Banner.l


TheSenate amendment TO the tariff billimposine
tax Of one and a half cents per pound on coffee
and fouf cents on tea, received its quietus in the
House, on molten of our Representative, General
Quarles. From the proceedings of the House upon
the Senate amen dnent, as published in the Globe
we clip the following;
Mr.. Quarles. move to strike out all that portion
of the tenth amendment Of the Senate now under
consideration, which places tax on tea and coffee
from Re aAy-three to lne seventy, inclusive, OF the
printed bill and amendment; and do hope that
the committee will not concur in this amendment
of the Senate. Tea and coffee, sir, are, from theii
universal use, articles of prime aud actual necessi
ty; every class of society in every section of our
country, the high and the low the rich and the poor
are IN great degree dependent for their comforta-
BILE subsistence on these wholesome and nutritious
beverages and they should never be subjects Of tax
alton, unless it is made actually unavoidable BY
some overruling emergency. They have never be-
fore been even proposed to be taxed rs source OF
revenue, except in times of actual war, and pro-
test in the name of my constituents, and in the
name OF the whole country, against making them
now a subject of taxation. They should stay, a:
they now are in the free list. Certainly the $780,
1000 now at the disposal Of the incoming Ad-
ministration is enough to enable them to carry on
Tue OONefnblenJ WITHOUT taxing every pOunu OF tea
and coffee that may be used in the whole land
again earnestly protest against it, and call upon
gentlemen of all parties, and from all sections tc
come to my aid aud assist me in defeating this un-
just aud injurious tax upon tue very necessaries Of
life. cannot sir in the five minutes to which THU
tax has been limited, 60 into more elaborate dis
cussion of il; but will notify the committee that
shall call for separate vote this portion of this
amendment in the House, aud upon which / hope
the House will give me vote by the yeas and nays

Duration of the War.

The probable duration of the war
which the rebels have inaugurated is q
matter of general interest in the pub
lie mind, and of speculation amongst
our cotemporaries. In an article upon
this subject, the New York CONNER
csdS comes to the conclusion that the
great improvements in modern warfare
will make the contest short and deci-
slve, like spring freshet." The lar
gest war waged in modern times. If
says, was that between Russia and the
allied powers; yet it was only a davis
work In comparison with some that
have taken place, even since the inven-
ton of gunpowder. The great Italian
war lasted less than three months:
and active operations in the field con,
tinued barely six weeks. In our inva.
sion of Mexico neither the telegraph
nor the railroad could render any ser.
vice; yet eighteen months may be said
to have brought the war to close.
Each knew what the other could do
and what he could dare; and each
knew that the other possessed that
hnO"ISuS0 iSSPcctihS uiiu.
1t does not, therefore, anticipate any
protracted state of hostilities between
the Federal Government and the Mont.
gomery despotism. We are too init,
mately acquainted with each others
sources of strength and weakness.
The few thrusts to be delivered by such
skillful swordsman will be quickly aim
ed at the most vulnerable points, un-
less the weaker should quickly give
in, and the stronger generously forbear
exercising his full power. Now that
the whole people see the necessity of
taking hold of the matter in earnest,
they will bestir themselves with vigor,
unanimity and expeditiousness, to bring
the controversy to speedy and victor
ious termination. They will be as
prompt in execution as they have been
dilatory in preparing for action, and
unwilling to believe the designs of the
revolutionists.

History of the American Flag.

Captain Schuyler Hamilton, q. S. A.,
in work published some years ago on
the american Flag, says: The first
colors spoken of in connection with the
American Revolution, were significant
ly enough called "Union Flags" No
account is given of the devices upon
them. They are frequently spoken of
in the newspapers of IVA.
The Connecticut troops fixed upon
their standards and their drums, in
1875, the motto," Qui Nauslatit Sats-
tinit," in letters of gold-literally-
He who has transplanted us hither
will support u.s." This was the motto.
Each regiment was distinguished by
its colors-blue, orange, DC, On July
1s, 1775, General Israel Putnam un-
furled at Cambridge, Massachusetts,
on the joyful occasion of the reception
in that town of the Declaration of In
dependence, standard bearing this
motto on one side, "An Appeal to
Heaven" and on the other, Qui
Nauslatit Sustinit." This flag was
flung to the breeze amid the roar of
cannon and the shouts of the people
1t was said at that time, "the Philis-
tines on Bunker Hill heard the cheers
of the Israelites Israel Putnam,) and
being fearful, paraded themselves in
battle array" This flag was red one,
the signal of defiance or battle since
the days of the Romans.
In September, 1775, Colonel Moul-
trie unfurled large blue flag, with a
crescent in one corner. This was the
first American flag displayed in South
Carolina, and was:used at the taking of
Fort johnson, on James Island. The
crescent is an emblem of sovereignty.
A standard, with white ground, a
pine tree in the middle, and the motto,
"Appeal to Heaven" was adopted in
l775, as the Flag of the Floating Bat
teries.
On January Cd, 177e-the day that
gave birth to the new American Army
the flag designated as "The Great
Union Standard" was hoisted. This
was the basis of the National Flag of
the present day.
In l776, was adopted the standard
to be used by the Commander-in-C Chief
of the American Navy, "being a vel.
low field with a lively representation of
a rattIesnake in the middle, in the atti-
tude of striking" Underneath were
the words, "Don't tread on me-"

Counsel to our VOlunteers..-How to Pre-.
pare for the Campaign.

The following hints to our yoiun,
teers are timely, and should be needed:
TO OUR YOUNG SOLDIERS. -
1. Remember that in a campaign
more men die from sickness than by
the bullet, fe
2. Line your blankets with one thick
ness of brown drilling, This adds
but four ounces in weight and doubles
the warmth.
8. Buy small India rubber blanket
(only l,50) to lay. on the ground or
to throw over. your shoulders when on
guard duty during a rain storm. Most
of the eastern troops are provided
with these. Straw to lie upon is not
always to be had.
A. The best military hat in use is the
light colored soft felt; the crown be-
ing sufficiently high to allow space for
air over the brain. You can festen it
up as a continental in fair weather, OF
turn it down when it is wet or very
sunny.
5. Let your beard grow, SO as to
protect the throat and lungs.
6. Keep your entire person clean ;
this prevents fevers and bowel COM
plants in warm climates. Wash your
body each day if possible. Avoid
strong coffee and oily meat. General
Scott said that the too free use of these
together with neglect in keeping tha
skin clean) cost many soldier his life
in Mexico.
I. A-sudden check of perspiratiop
by chilly or night air, often causes fe-
yer and death. When thus exposed,
do not forget your blanket.

The same year, the cruisers of the
Colony of Massachusetts, hoisted a
white flag, with green pine tree, and
the motto, ".Appeal to Heaven"
June 14th l777, Congress passed the
following resolution
Resolved, That the Flag of the Thir-
teen United States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white, that the Union
be thirteen stars, white, in blue field,
representing new Constitution.
This was the origin of the National
Flag of the United States-the glori-
GUS "stars and stripes"- has
proudly waved since that day over
many of the greatest victories of mod
ern times; that stirs the blood of every
true-hearted citizen whenever he be-
holds it floating to the breeze that
waves in every part of the world, and
that is everywhere honored and re-
speeted on sea and shore.
The above resolution was made pub
lie September Sd, 1777. According to
Col. Trumbull, the flag made in pursu-
ance of it was first used at the surren
der of Burgoyne, October 18th, of the
same year. This was a glorious be-
ginning, truly for that was one Of the
most important victories of the Ameri-
can arms during the Revolution. The
first change in the national colors was
directed in the following enactment of
Congress, adopted January 18th, 1894 /:
BE 1T enacted, etc. That from and af-
ter the 1st day of May, 1895, the Flag
of the United States be fftee,, stripes,
alternately red and white; that the
Union be fifteen stars, white in blue
field.
This was the Flag of the United
States during the War of 1S12-14.
In 1918 the Flag of the United
States was again altered. On the sug-
gestion of the Hon. Mr.. Wendover, of
the State of New York, a return was
made to thirteen stripes, as it was an
ticipated that the flag would become
unwieldly if stripe was added on the
admission of each State; and more
over, by the plan proposed-namely,
the addition of star for each new
State-the Union of the old Thirteen
States, as we'll as the number of States
comprising the existing Union, would
both be presented by the Flag of our
United States. Mr.. Wendover also
proposed the arrangement of the stars
in the Union in the form of single
star. The resolution of 1918 was as
follows:
ResolUed, That from and after the
Fourth day of July next the flag of the
United States be thirteen horizontal
stripes, alternate red and white that
the Union be twenty stars, Write on a
blue field; and that, on the admission
of new State into the Union, one star
be added to the Union of the flag and
that such addition shall take effect on
the Fourth of July succeeding such ad-
mission.
The Flag planted on the national
palace in the city of Mexico had thirty
stars in the Union. 1t is now depos.

son Browlow gives the following fel-
icitous definition of this phrase.
An Alabama secession paperinquires
if the Border States know what is ssthe
height of impudence ?" We answer
for the Border States, that it is to hear
and see man staggering and swear
ing in every crowd he enters, that he
will 90 out of the Union because he
can't get his rights, by having the priv
ilege guaranteed to take slaves in the
Territories, when in fact, he does not
own a negro in the world, never did,
and never will; and withal can't get
credit in any store in the county where
he lives, for a wool-hat or a pair of
brogans!
