A Prophecy FulflledSidne Smith
Warns us against War and Taxes.

In the year 1889 the Rev. Sidney Smith
published ia be EdinJury Reoiew, an ar
ticle under the title Of America in
which he spoke fatteringly Of the "ondi-
ton and prospects of the United States.
lie thought however, thai, he saw a, dis
position on the part Of our people TO ac-
'quire military glory, and he took occasion
to warn US of the inevitable consequences.
Considering that this was written twenty
odd years ago, we may 'welt ask if the wri-
ter, in view Of what is now transporting,
did not speak almost in the language Of
prophecy, He said
awe can Inform Jonathan what are the
inevitable. consequences of being too fond
Of glory, Taxes upon every article which
enters into the mouth or covers the back,
or is placed under the foot-taxes upon
everything that is pleasant, to see, hear,
smell or taste-taxes. ,on everything OH
earth, and the waters under, the earth
on everything that comes from abroad, or
is grown at bome--taxes on the raw ma
terial taxes on every fresh value that is
added to it by the Industry Of man--,taxes
on the sauce which pampers man appe-
lite, and the drug that restores him to
health-ou the erminc which decorates
the judge, and the rope WHICH hangs the
criminal ION the poor man $ salt, aud the
rich mans spice--on the brass nails of
the coffin, aud the ribbons of the bride
at bed or board, couchant or, levant, we
must pay-the schoolboy whips his taxed
top-the beardless youthTmanages his tax
ed horse, with taxed bride on taxed
road--and the dying Englishman, pour
ing his medicine, which has paid sew
en- per cent, into a spoon that has paid
fifteen per cent, filings himself back upon
his chintz bed, which has paid twenty two
per cent, and expires in the arms of an
apothecary, who has paid license of
hundred pounds for the privilege of put
ting him to death, His whole property
is then Immediately taxed from two to ten
per cent. Besides the probate, large fees
are demanded for burying him in the
chancel his virtues are handed down to
posterity on taxed marble; and he is then
gathered to his fathers--to be taxed no
more. .i IL 4aayy q.i t.g l... atGJ
"In addition to all this, the habit of
dealing in large sums will make the Gov
eminent avarioious and profuse; and the
system itself will infallibly generate the
base vermin of spieseand informers, and
a still more pestilent race of political tools
and retainers of the meauest and. most
odious description; while the prodigious
patronage which the collecting of this
splendid revenue will throw into the hands
of the Government, will invest it vith SO
vast an influence, and hold out such means
and temptations to corruption, as all the
virtue and public spirit even Of Republi-
cams, will be unable to resist .tr. of

"But each State has the unquestionable

How the Flag of the 5Ith Massachusetrs
yyuS EnVed,

How the Flag of the 54th Massachusetts
was saved.
The Port Royal correspondent of the New
York Tribune relates these incidents of the
conduct of the cOlOred regiment at Fort
Wagner;
But above all, the color bearer deserves
more than a passing notice. Sergeant
John Wall of Company G carried the flag
in the first battalion, and when near the
fort he fell into deep ditch, and called
upon his guard to help him out. They
could not stop for that, but Sergeant Will
liam H. Carney of Company caught the
colors, carried them forward, and was the
first man to plant the Stars and Stripes
upon Fort Wagner. As he saw the men
falling back, himself severely wounded in
the breast, he brought the colors off, creep
ing on his knees, pressing his wound with
one hand and with the other holding up
the emblem of freedom. The moment he
was seen crawling into the hospital with
the flag still in his possession, his wound
ed companions, both black and white, rose
from the straw upon which they were "
ing and cheered him until exhausted they
could shout no longer. In response to this
reception the brave and wounded-stand-
srd-bearer said: Boys, 1 but did my
duty; the dear old flag never touched the
ground
HAfter the main body of the regiment
had been killed, wounded, or driven back,
Captain Amelio, together with Lieutenants
Geeen, Dexter and Tucker, rallied one hun
dred men and held position near the fort
until one o'clock in the morning, when
they were relieved by the 10th Connecticut,
by order of General Stimson. But even
then they did not retire to the rear, but
remained in the front and brought off a
great number Of wounded, who would
otherwise have fallen into the hands of the
enemy"

OF PERSONS HAVING CONSCIENTIOUS sCRUP
IN REGARD To BEARING ARMS.
ORA MAN WHOSE wIFE1s INSANE.

OP1N1oN-The children of an insane
mother, who may, at any time, recover her
reason, cannot in the sense Of the law, or
with any propriety of language, be termed
motherless children. The father of such,
though they may be dependent on his la
Dor for their support cannot therefore,
claim exemption from the draft. The case
is hard one, and would probably have
been provided for, had it been foreseen.
1t is, however, the law as it is and not as
it may be supposed it ought to be, that is to
be so enforced.
