visions among the loyal men, they would
have received aid and comfort from the
operation; but the lines were drawn upon
this single question, and the decision was
the death blow to secession in Kentucky.
There is no installing the position Of that
noble State now. Let New York get into
a political quarrel over minor party issues
and it would inevitably vitiatc the patri-
otism of the State and give aid to the re-
bellion. .re9
Of one thug we may be very certain;
nay, of two things, viz: that all those who
wish to give aid and comfort to the enemy
will favor partisan division of the nor
thern people, and that all those whose par
tisan feelings are stronger than their pa
triotic principles will help them. The
truth is we have no right to give the reb-
els the impression, in any way, that we
are disunited. Such an impression gives
them strength, however little it may weak
en- the direct operations of the government.
Nor have we any right to shield what lit
tie treason we have among us at home be-
hind a party name. We, as patriots,
ought to force the scoundrels who would
gladly see the nation brought to dishonor
that treason may thrive, into party by
themselves, for they will certainly pollute
and degrade any party to which they may
attach themselves; while if they are forced
into party by themselves and known to
be traitors, they can harm no one

| Rex and the liberties ofAmerica," and on
the reverse, "no Popery." While In
Connecticut, the motto employed was ''qui
transtulit sustinet, which was understood
to mean, "God who has transplanted us
hither will support u.s.
About the same time, April 20, 1865,
the Massachusetts, Provincial Congress,
adopted a white flag as standard for
their colonial cruisers, with the motto zap
peal to Heaven, and a pine tree in the
centre.
A combination Of the Connecticut and
Massachusetts notices, ommitting the
tree, was adopted on the red Union flag of
the Colonies, by the armies of the Colon
lists, before Boston and this flag was un-
folded by Gen. Israel Putnam, July Is,
rs, after the reading of the Declaration of
Independence of the Continental Congress
setting forth the causes and necessity of
taking up arms.
On the I'd of January 1777, after the
Union of the thirteen Colonies was effec-
ted, Washington hoisted the Great Union
flag consisting of the Union of the Gross
es and the thirteen red and white
stripes, the number Of Colonies in the
Union.
Itmay be interesting to state, that stripes
or ribbons was the distinguishing badge
in common use among the. officers who
were uniformed in the colonial army, ac-
cording to the suggestion and order of
General Washington. Hence it has been
inferred that the idea Of red and white
stripes in the field Of the Union flag OF the
United American Colonies owes its origin
to the above circumstances.
The red, white and blue colors of our
flag, emblenlatic of defiance to oppression,
purity and Union, are probably derived
from the colors exhibited on the banners
and ensigns of the early Kings of England
and Scotland or their patron saints. The
banner Of St. George was white charged
with red, that Of St. Andrew blue charged
with white.
Nor should it be forgotten that blue was
favorite color OF Washington when he
commanded the Continental army, he adop-
ted as his badge Of recognition light
blue ribbon, which he wore across his
breast, between his coat and waistcoat
Again, the prevailing colors in the flag
appear to have been those adopted to give
nationality to the uniform of the army of
the Colonies; the facings of the blue coats
were red, and the colors of the plumes
white tipped with red.-Ihi1a. LOening

s.The Star spangIed Hammer,

The author Of this national song was
Francis j. Key, Esq, native of Mary
land, and the attending incidents are con-
densed from an extended narrative by his
brother-iE- law, the present Chief Justice
fancy:
''This song has become a national one,
and will, l think, from its great merit,
continue to be so. The scene he describes
and the warm spirit Of patriotism which
breathes IN the song were not the offspring
of mere fancy or poetic imagination He
describes what he actually saw and felt
while witnessing the conflict and when the
battle was over and the victory won by his
countrymen. Every word came from his
heart, and it never fails to find response
in the hearts of those who listen to it.
''Dr. Beanes, the authors particular
friend, was a prisoner on board the British
fleet lying at the mouth of the Potomac.
Mr.. keyes volunteered in endeavoring to
procure his release, In which he was final
ly successful; but he was detained on
board until the attack on Baltimore, then
about to be made, was over. The bonn
bardment commenced, and during the
night the author, with his two fellow
anxiety, watching every shell from the
moment it was fired until it fell, and
listening to hear if an explosion followed
"While the bombardment continued it
was sufficient proof that Fort M'Henry
had not surrendered. But it suddenly
ceased some time before day, and as they
had no communication with any of the
enemy's ships, they did not know whether
the fort had surrendered or the attack had
been abandoned. They watched intensely
for the return of day, looking every few
minutes at their watches !; and soon as it
dawned their glasses were turned to the
fort, uncertain whether they should see
there the Stars and the Stripes or the flag
of the enemy. At length the light came,
and they saw that 'our flag was still there
and were informed that the attack on
Baltimore had failed and that the British
army was re-embarking.
"He told me that under the excitement
of the time he had written song, and
handed me a copy of the Star Spangled
Banner After expressing my admira-
ton Of it, L asked him how he had found
time in the scenes he had been passing
through to compose such song. He
said he commenced it on the deck of the
vessel in the fervor of the moment, when
he saw the enemy hastily retreating to
their ships and looked at the flag he had
watched for SO anxiously as the morning
opened"
Near half a century has elapsed since
then, and the song, composed under such
thrilling circumstances, is now the great
hymn of the nation

GOOD FOR THE EPARsoN-Parson Brown
low, of the Knoxville, (Tenn.) Wing, still
holds out nobly. In a late number he
says :-''That all may understand US, we
take occasion to say, free from all exc ite-
ment, that to destroy our Office or stop our
Windpipe, is the onl y way in which We
can be prevented from denoUncing seces-
sion, and advocating the Union. There
are now but three Union papers in Tenn
essee, as we consider, and unless We are
assassinated or our office is destroyed,
we shall soon have the honor of standing.

THE REBEL UNIFoRM.-The uniform
of the Confederate States army is a short
tunic coat of cadet gray cloth, double
breasted with two rows of brass buttons,
two inches apart at the waist, and widen

are plain gilt, convex form, and three
quarters of an inch in diameter The
different arms in the service are distln-
guished by the color of the trimmings
blue for infantry, red for artillery, and
yellow for cavalry. The artillery buttons
are stamped with the letter A, but the

BslF Gen. Pierce, the commander of the
forces at the siege of Great Bethel, is not
ex-President Pierce, as many suppose, but
is "a native of Mass. The conduct of Brig
adler Gen Pierce is severely commented
on. He retired to the rear, confused and
unable to give any orders that his men
could comprehend. He cried, "Boston
charge" but none could hear him at any
distance, and one man cried out "Charge
be id! How are you going to charge
that internal fire." The boys stood their
ground as long as it was of any use.

OUR NATIONAL FLAG---!TS HISTORY.

The Stars and Stripes-the Red, White
and Blue-fgure and tints happily blend
ed in one harmonious whole, constitute
our National Flag, and has won the admi-
ration of every true-hearted American.
Its beautiful proportions and its rich
combination Of colors make it perfect
gem, while its essential character, the
nations banner, clicits for it a nations
alteration. Every American is proud of
it; every lover OF his country is enthusias-
tic in its praise; and every patriot would
defend it with the last drop OF his blood.
At the present time the American flag
is enjoying perfect ovation. 1t is an
object of special attraction, calling forth
the widest excitement. The great heart
of the nation, driven almost to the agony
of desperation from the insult that has
been heaped upon its National banner by
the ;ngratitude Of traitors, is manifesting
for it sacred devotion, and rallying
around its glorious folds in complete av-
alanche Of enthusiasm.
Flag raising and flag presentations seem
to be the popular order Of this day of ex-
citement The old man and the young
man, the mother and the daughter, the
work boy and the school-boy, the child at
it's play and the infant in the nurses arms,
all, no matter what may be their condition
in life, whether high-minded or humble,
whether rich or poor, the merchant or the
mechanic, the professional man or the la
borer-all partake of the prevalent patriot
ism, and In some way or other show their
attachment and love for the flag of their
country.
From many house-top it has been un-
furled afresh to the breeze. Over every
public building the glorious Stars and
Stripes wave in all their proud majesty.
Flung across every street, the Star Span
gled Banner may be seen floating in tri-
umph, like ga thing Of life" admired and
revered by every passer-by. Artistically
arranged, it beauties and honors every
store window, and over every door
may be seen, and admired, its graceful
folds. The occupants of private residences
are not a whit behind in exhibiting their
love for the flag Of our country, by display
| ing it from their windows and decorating
their parlors with the red, white and blue.
Even carriages of pleasure and carriages
| of burden hang out this emblem of a ma
! tiop's reverence for the Union, while the
horses themselves caparisoned in the same
rich attire, appear, by their mettlesome
disposition, to share IN the excitement of
| the hour.
As these proud banners are unfurled to
! the breeze, every heart seems to say-let
that tongue cleave to the root of its mouth
that would speak reproachfully of our flag,
| and let that hand forget its cunning that
would dare to trail it in the dust-and
then, the loud song goes up from ten
thousand thousand voices OF freemen,
'.The Star Spangled Banner, oh, long may 1t
wave,
Ger the land of the free, and the home Of the
brave"
At such a time, when every eye is fixed
upon the American flag, and when every
heart beats with patriotic emotion for its
country's safety-it may not be an unac-
ceptable offering to refresh the memory

PATRICK AND THE ROCKET. .-Durin,

PATRICK AND THE ERoCKET.-During
our last conflict with Great Britain num-
ber of our troops were engaged in repair
ing the Notifications OF Niagara, and
whilst SO engaged, the enemy commenced
pretty sharp fire, so that it occupied
nearly the whole of the time of our force
to keep on the lookout for the shots of
the enemy. Finding that they did not
make much headway, they stationed son
of the Emerald Isle to give warning when
shot or shell was coming. This the
sentinel faithfully performed, alternately
singing out ''shot'' ''shell," until finally
the enemy started Congreve rocket,
which Pat had never seen before. He
hesitated and seeing it elevate he shout
ed
"Shot and be jabers, the gun with
it."
