If there is any such thing as State
pride, in the State of Ohio, it should
begin TO be exercised about these
times. Ohio has not in the field at
this moment, to fight for the Union,
any more troops than the little State
of Arkansas has to fight against it,.
We believe Ohio is doing less for
the country in proportion to her pop
uiation and wealth than any other
State. Pennsylvania may be az ex-
ception. But Michigan, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Indiana, New York, Massa-

a revolutionary earthwork near this town, was
taken possession of on Sunday night last, and
on Sunday morning the community was intense
ly excited at the report that the Palmetto flag
was flying high above the ramparts, and had
been nailed to the flag staff. This outrage was
born in silence during the sacred hours of the
Sabbath day and night, but early on Monday
morning our citizens were startled by the re-
port of cannon, fred in quick succession. On
inquiry, it was ascertained that company of
Jolly tars had recaptured the fort, shot down
the Palmetto flag, tramped 1t in the dust, and
ran Zip the stars and stripes in its place
Forthwith, the national ensign was floating in
the breeze from every masthead in the port,
and we had general rejoicing on the occason.

NOT REsPEcrED.-A correspondent of the

a foreign port under the flag of the " Indepen-
dent Republic of South Carolina. was made
at Havana by brigantine from Charleston
She sailed in past the Moro Castle with her
" Palmetto . flying aloft But Immediately,
by order of the officer in command of the for
tress, she was brought to anchor under its
guns, and kept there until the flag of the Uni
ted States was displayed at her masthead,
when she was permitted to proceed up the
harbor. We wonder what they are going to
do in Palmettodom about this outrage upon
their flag in foreign port. This insult ought
to be avenged forthwith. A newborn nation
ality cannot afford to permit its emblematic
ensign to be thus dishonored.
