1.-THE GREAT pREPARArIoN.,

little, in which he treats of grand providential
movements which are to be the immediate pre-
cursors Of theend of tie world. His specula-
lions ere those Of ripe scholarship rich intel
1ectual cultivation, most extensive and often
profound research; but as il the days Of the
Apostles SO in cur time, we feel less interest in
the period when the world shall end than we
do in those scenes in which We and those
around Us are to be actors, and in the final
issues Of which our veal or woe may be mo-
mentously involved.

allied powers could bring two hundred and
fifty thousand men to the shock of arm-if not

his dislike Of Republican Institutions, with

She did ncbIy in the revolutionary Struggle,
and in the present crisis .he acts worthy of

of almost superhuman energy. Her artisans,
her merchants, her farmers, her lawyers and
teachers, and physicians and ministers, come
forward by the hundred and thousand at their
country's call to bare their bosoms for their
country's rescue. Houses, kindred, friends,
professions, inviting prospects of wealth and
fame, all these are abandoned for the rifle and
the sword and the fortunes of a soldier. So

WHAT THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER SIG
NIFIEs.-The following description of the rig
nifcance of the different parts Of the Ameri-
can flag will be interesting to many of our
readers. 1t was written by member of the
committee of the Continental CONGRESS ap-
pointed to design flag for the young Repub.
lie, when the matter was before that body, and
recently reproduced by A. G. STREET, Esq, in
lecture on the battle of Saratoga:
The stars of the new flag represent the new
constellation OF States rising in the West. The
idea was takeH from the constellation of Lyra,
which, in the hand of Orpheus, signifies har-
mony. The blue in the field was taken from
the edges of the Covenanters' banner, in Scot
land, significant of the league and GOV enant of
the United Colonies against oppression, incl
dentally involving the virtues of vigilance,
perseverance and justice The stars were dis
posed in a circle, symbolizing the perpetuity
of the Union; the ring, like the circling SER
pent of the Egyptians, siguifying eternity.
The thirteen stripes showed, with the stars, the
number of the United Colonies, and denoted
the subordination of the States to the Union,
as well as the equality among themselves.
The whole was the blending :cf the various
flags previous to the Union flag, viz, the red
flags of the army, and the white ones Of the
floating batteries. The red color, which in
Roman days was the signal of defiance, de-
noted daring, and the white, purity"

An Army ChapIatn,s Expertenee.


The Chaplain of the 7th Ohio regiment is
the Rev. D. C. Wright, Methodist, ardentin
what he undertakes, ready with tongue fvr
every good word, and with hand for every
good work. His regiment has been in Vir-
ginia for more than year, and has been con
spicuous in not few battles, the last that Of
Winchester. The Chaplain being home on
furlough recently, attended The Erie Confer
ence, of which he is a member, sitting at
youngstown, Ohio. The e1pt Iience Of several
army Chaplains was given. Mr. Wright gave
his, as we find it reported in the Cleveland
Herald, thus:
He said he had never found as many oppor-
tunities of doing good to the souls and bodies
of men. AS an instance, he alluded to the
case of a Young man in the hospital. Ny
mother, said Mr.. Wright, wrote me, "Be
| brave; don't let any man die without receiving
his last messages, though you should be IN dan

| smallpox had been nine feet deep. This
Young man ssid " Parson, can you tell 8
man how to believe in Christ TO be

/ the same question. / often tried TO
\ tell him. Oh, how 1 wanted some great
| talent to tell him better. He entreated me to
tell him once more. / tried again Then there
came ono of those sweet smiles over his face,
that cannot describe; but It appeared TO me
as if the azure curtains of heaven were drawn
aside, and he entered in. (Audienee moved TO
tears.) 1 do not like to sleep cut of doors, but

THE BULLETIN of yesterday published sew
eral items from the Grenada appeal of the 4th
instant. We had no papers from the North
yesterday, and cannot therefore tell how much
the condition Of things has been changed with
in the last few days. We do not believe there
has been any material alteration. We cannot
think that General MoCLELLAN's army is in
any special danger; and General BUELL. is too
wary man to be ensnared. If there is any
snafiDg done, we are of the opinion "the boot
will be found on the other leg"
