The Progress Of the War.

The organization of the Northern
regiments is rapidly progressing, and
we shall shortly be able to place in
the field an immense army of brave
and determined men, who will be well
drilled, well equipped, and we'll armed.
In the South they are equally active
and energetic. In fact; for the mo-
ment nearly their whole population ap-
pears to be in an almost frantic state
of excitement, and every man is CON-
PEELED to bear arms, whether he favors
or opposes their cause. 1t is, of
course, impossible, in protracted war,
for any nation TO send forth to battle
hel whole able bodied male popula
ton; and those countries can best
maintain a contest where the impor-
tant industrial pursuits of peace are
vigorously prosecuted, and means thus
acquired for paying the enormous ex-
penses which are rendered necessary.
In this important requisite, as well as
in our superiority in wealth, numbers,
naval strength, credit, and resources,
we have an overwhelming advantage
over antagonists. While our armies
are being CITED out in vast numbers,
a general sense of peaceful security
pervades our whole people, and they
retire to their couches at night with
no dreld of servile insurrection, no
fear of an invasion, and no doubts OF
the complete triumph of the national
cause. While hundreds of thousands
of volunteers freely tender their SER
vices to the Government, and are anx-
ions to do their full duty in defending
it, an immense population is left be-
hind, usefully employed, which will
keep our treasury, full and supply
every national want.

A Dastardly Outrage upon the
American Flag.

The New York Times of yesterday
publishes, among other information it
received from passengers who recently
arrived from Savannah, Georgia, the
following statement
"On the occasion of the arrival
and speech of Mr.. Stephens, large
procession was formed, which march
ed through the city. They carried,
painted on canvas, representation OF
the American flag soiled and torn.
suspended by a broken flag staff.
Underneath was the picture of a
grave, with the words, Rec'iv me- F."
This outrage upon the flag aroused
feelings of deep disgust and indig IA
tion among the still loyal portion OF
the citizens, and one gentleman, ven
cradle pastor of the Seamen's Bethel,
openly denounced the proceedings, de-
claring that Savannah had been the
first to dishonor the glorious banner OF
the Union. On being threatened with
violence, he told the mobOcrats that
though he was an old man, he would
defend himself if attacked, and some o.
them would bite the dust if they laid
their hands on him."
1t is difficult to conceive how mer
who have long enjoyed the protection
of our glorious standard could have
acted in this shameful manner; but
even this dastardly outrage is only in
keeping with the whole Rebel move
ment.

The Stars and Stripes. "

A loyal American, law-abiding
citizen. can endure many insults and
wrongs, as recent events have already
proved. but their is one he cannot en-
dure. The loyal citizens of the North
have permitted their Southern neigh
bors to appropriate to their own use
our public property, to defy the Federal
a. tho.ity, and heap insult upon injury
to peaceahle citizens travelling within
the federal jurisdiction. But when
our glorious old Flag was assaulted
and shot down from the battlements Of
Fort Sumter the half smothered pat
riotism could be depressed no longer.
A thousand associations were recalled
to millions of union loving hearts, by
looking upon that insulted symbol,
with its celestial white" its " streak
ings of the morning." and its stars
and its glory 1t was the flag OF
the immortal Washington. 1t cheered
the dropping energies Of the sparsely
clad, half-frozen Contineutals at Tren-
ton, and other places in our noble and
patriotic little State, in mid winter,
and sent ne ~ hopes to the bosoms OF
the worn out patriots as they tracked
across the country leaving the blood
prints of their shoeless feet. 1t waved
over the same ragged band and lifted
ND their heads, when at midnight, lii
mid-winter, under their great leader,
they picked their dangerous way over
tie floating ice of the Delaware to meet
their enemies. It is the same radiant
standard that was carried by our faith
ers through the seven long years OF
the Revolution, and which waved at
last in triumph at Yorktown. 1t looks
down upon us now with the traditions
and associations of more than eighty
years. That stern patriot jackson
Haunted it in the face of Packenham,
at New Orleans. as the glazed eye
of the dying Lawrence caught its
meteor splendors On the bloody deer,
his full heart forced sElrough his almost
lifeless lips the immortal words, Don't
give up the Ship" The greatest liv-
ing hero of tie age-the tried and
venerable military captain, whose he
roism is only equalled by his love of
country - carried it triumphantly
through two wars, and it is consola-
ton now to know that he yet keeps
step to the music of the Union-his
heart still cIings to its folds, and its en-
emies will find that his eye is not
yet dim, nor is his natural force
abated."
And proudly does that old flag, the
Stars and Stripes" float in our
town and in every town in the County.
1t is we'll that our children be taught
to love that Star Spangled Banner"
that in'after years they, like our faith
ers and ourselves. may be ready to lay
down their lives in defence of Liberty
and Union, one and inseparable, now
and forever"
