Still, however, the flag foated proudly
above the doomed hero, and still that CORY
sword swept below its folds in many a
horrid circle, and still, as frenzy took the
place of reason, Hitler shouted IN wild,
hoarse tones:
"Close up, lads close up Our flag !!
our flag forever
For a moment the giant patriot raised
himself up to his full height, whirled his
sword aoft, and delivered his last venge-
full stroke among his enemies, one Of whom
be Glove nearly to the saddle. Such was
the force of the blow that the blade snap
ped asunder, leaving only the bllt in the
heros hand, who, casting this from him,
sprang up and seized the starry banner
that he had so long and bravely defended,
and convuIsively wrapping it about him,
sunk beneath shower of blows, exclaim-
ed with his dying voice:
"Close up, lads Close up! Our flag /!
our flag forever" J"
Unable to tear the flag from about the
fallen man, the British now turned their
full attention upon General Morgan, who,
after desperate resistance was forced to
fly. In the course of the pursuit, how
ever, the enemy fell into lrretrievable
disorder, and, ever on the alert, Morgan,
taking advantage of this, rallied his bro
ken force, and charging the foe totally
routed them, thus re-winning the victory
which he had so'signally lost
His first thoughts, after the defeat of
the enemy, turned, upon the brave but
fated HilIiers, and, together with his aids,
he rode back to the spot where the spar
tan band had fought and fallen. Sur
rounded by their victims lay the seven
gigantic Hillers, about the eldest of
whom was still closely wrapped the colors
which had been committed to his care in
the morning now rjddled with bullets,
torn and soaked with the blood of its
champions.
As Morgan gazed down upon the silent
forms at his feet, tears gathered in his
eyes, and, with the words: "Bury them
side by side and above all don't remove
the flag from old John; it is hero's
shroud, and hero is in it'-he was about
to turn away, when one Of his aids ex-
claimed s,.r.
He Ices he lives ~
A groan and slight movement of the
body proved this to be correct. A sur
geon was quickly in attendance, VINO
after an examination, gave 1t as his opin-
ion that in less than twenty minutes
the life which was still lingering in
the old hero would be gone.
The group, therefore, continued around
the dying man, who at the end of about
ten minutes, revived so far as to raise
himself on his elbow, and exclaimed:
"Close up, lads close up! Our flag
our flag forever ...
This was his last effort, and spasmod-
ically drawing his spangled aud blood
stained shroud closely about him, he fell
back to earth corpse.
With the thoughts Of such sires and
such deeds as these living in our memo
ries, is there to-day, within the bounda,
ries of the land which our fathers have
bequeathed to US, is there one American,
who an has heart does not love and ven-
crate the starry banner under which the
heroes of re fought and died. L. there
to, day, in the wide expanse of the repub,
lie, one American, who will mot ezclaim
with the dying hero of Cowpeus

eY Our letter from the Potomac army,
describing conversation between the wri-
ter and rebel officer, shows the estima-
tion the secesh put upon the loyalty Of
Northern Democrats, and the aid and
comfort they expect shortly to receive from
them. The result Of the late elections is
construed to mean sympathy with the re-
be1]ion and condemnation Of the efforts
being made to crush it. The rebel leaders
get their information from the ultra pro-
slavery faction in the North, and doubt
less are in direct communication with
them But they arc wretchedIy deceiving
themselves, and leaning on 8 rotten staff,
which will fail them at the critical mo-
ment. a majority Of the rank and file Of
the Democratic party are soundly loyal
and ardently desire tile army and navy to
go vigorously ahead and put down the
rebellion in the most summary manner.
The faction Of fools who may follow their
leaders into committing reasonable acts,
can be readily dealt with as the claw d-
reefs" The wal. will 60 on until the reb-
els Internationally stack arms. The

Of that Infamous ilk, cannot give tie VIC
