At Covington, KY, directly opposite Gin
cinnali, the Stars and Stripes we're hauled
down by the ladies Of the First Presbyterian
Church. A Festival was to be held by The
Church, in Hall in Covington, and in that
Hall was the American flag hanging. The
loyal ladies of the Congregation wished the
flag to remain, but the secesh women demand
ed it's removal. The Cincinnati Gazette gives
the result:
The beligerents submitted their controver-
sy to the decision oftheir worthy and patiotic
pastor, who promptly decided that the flag
of his country must be hauled down and re-
moved out OF his sight and out Of the sight OF
his Confederate followers.
During the controversy the Robel women
insisted that no person should be allowed to
bring the flag of the nation into the hall dur
ing the festival, and one went SO far as to say
that If it was brought in she would bring her
flag 1.-THE traitors rag,) and plant it there too.
Another fact should be known. The loyal
patriotic pastor aud his flock, invited q notori-

tion, for tbd tl0o rulers of the country, mean

A SoRRowFUL PICTUEE.-Every day cal
loads, and sometimes whole trains, leave here
for the North, loaded with refugee citizens
seeking a land of safety and peace. If the tide
continues our country will be depopuIated.-
We hope some plan viii be adopted by our
State and national authorities, which will en-
able our people to live at home, in the mount
aims they have made memorable and glorious
by their unflnching patriotism.
When the rebels our invenerate enemies
ruled this country with the iron rod of consol-
dated military despotism, our young and old
men had to flee to the North for safety from
their mob and conscription laws; now that our
friends occupy this country, our women and
children are compelled to seek refuge in the
North from the lean, gaunt monster-SrARvA-

<
Guardian Appeal from Governor Brough
Executive DEPARTMENT, ONO,
COLUMBUS, May 8, 1864.
To the Military Committee and People Of the
Slate:
The departure of the National Guard from
the State in the service of the country, will
necessarily work much individual hardship.
In many cases in each county, families of la
boring men, dependent on the daily labor ol
the head, will be left almest wholly unprovi-
ded. The compensation of the soldier will
not enable him TO provide for the daily wants
of his family. We who remain at home, pro-
tected by the patriotism and sacrifice of these
noble men, must not permit their families TO
suffer. The prompt response of the Guard to
the call has reflected honor upon the State.
We must not sully it by neglecting the
wants Of those our gallant troops leave behind
No such stain must rest upon the fair charae-
ter Of our people.
As organized is ever better than individual
action, suggest to the people Of the several
counties that they promptly raise by volunta-
ry contribution a sufficient sum to meet the
probable wants of the families of the Guards,
who may require aid, and place it 10 the hands
OF the Military Committee Of the county for
appropriation and distribution.
The Committee can designate one or two
men in each township, who will cheerfuIy in
cur the trouble and labor Of passing upon all
cases in. their township, and of drawing and
paying such appropriations as may be made
TO the citizens Let this fund be ample. Let
those whom God has blessed with abundance
contribute to it freely. 1t is charity TO
which you may give ungrudgingly. 1t is pay
ment Of only part of the debt all owe to the
brave men who have responded to the call OF
Of the country, and who's action is waring of
from US deadly perils, and saving us from much
more serious sacriises. What is all yonr
wealth toyou if your Government is subverted
What the value OF your stores if your public
credit or finances be ruined, or rebel armies
invade aud transverse your state ? Be liberal
and generous, then, in this emergency. Let
no mother, wife or child Of the Guards want
comforts Of life during the hundred days, and
let these noble men feel on their return that the
people Of the State appreciate, and have to
some extent relieved the sacrifice they 30
promptly made in the hour of the country's

SUNDAYS OPERATIONS.

New YORK, May 1.-THE Tribune's spe-
ci al has the following sketch of the series ol
battles after that Of Saturday:
Gen. Warrens s corps passed on through
Toddis Tavern on Saturday night toward the
front, and at sunset were within ~ miles of
Spottsylvauia G. H.. and Immediately were
put in action to relieve the cavalry. The enc
my were also just in time for similar move,
and Stuart's cavalry were simultaneously re-
lieved by LOngstreet's corps Of infantry. The
7th corps, tired from long nights march
rushed into action with double-quick, Gen.
RobinsOns division leading the charge. The
rebels yielded before them, and we pushed
them for three miles
The last engagement of this mornings fight
was severe. Our loss was great. Gen. Rob
inson was severely wounded; but we charged
them SO far and So impetuously that our men
were Outhanked on the left and had to fall back
short distance to form their lines anew
The enemy gained no advantage, for our ar
tillery was brought into action, and the rebels
we're unable to occupy the position which our
men had abandoned. The 9Th corps bad suf-
fered so severely in the previous fight that
there was not a single division Of it in perfect
fighting trim. Gen. Augur, commanding the
regulars, filed in from the right and the posi-
tion was held
Another desperate effort must be made be-
fore SpOttsylvania G. H. would be 10 our pos
session. That point once reached, an open
country and fair battle-felds lie before US
About noon the batteries were posted, ours on
the edge of piece OF woods, theirs on the
opposite hill The discharge of shell for some
time was quite severe. As evening approach
ed Gen. Grant started to the front to take an-
other glance at the positions and inspire our
troops for the grand onset which was soon to
be made.
Before he arrived at our left flank, the rat
tie Of musketry from the advance skrmishers
and the struggling back of wounded men, in
dicated that the moment had almost arrived.
Troops from the 9th and 9th corps, in several
heavy liDss, were concentrated in front Of the
position to which the rebels had fallen tack 10
the early part of the day. Gen. WrightS
