The Final Conflagration.

II is not little remarkable lLal The
predicted burning Of The world, and The
circumstances attending it, as forsloh in
Scripture, are both naluzal, and have
strict coincidence with scientific probatil-
liy. It's computed by French asirono-
mers thai more than 6fIeen hundred fixed
stars have disappeared within the last
lbree centuries. La Place says that ons

was friend Of the Southern cause, al
though circumstances constrained him 10
fight in the ranks of It's enemies. The
child looking TO the general, answered i
shall believe that you are one Of the
friends of our cause, when you shall have

influence in behalf Of Mr.. Jefferson Da

THE CONQUERED BANNER.
Ely MONA.

These swee; and melancholy lines are COP
rom the "FRErMAN's JorENAL."
Furl that Banner, for us 'reary,
Round its staff Ills droopirg drearJ;
Furl it, fold it, it Is hest
For there's not a man to wave il,
And there, not n soul to save it,
And there's not one left to lave il
In the blood which heroes gave ii;
And it, fees now scorn and brave it
Ea.l it, hide ii, let il rest.
Take that Banner down, Ills tattered!
Broken is lis staff and shattered
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Over whom it noalcd high.
Oh, Ills hard for us TO fold it
Hard to think there's none TO hold it
Hard that those who once mroIlcd it,
Now must fold it with sigh.
Furl that Ranner-furl it sadly
Once ten thousands hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
Swore it should forever wave
Swore lhat focman's swords could never
Hearts like theirs entwincd discover,
Till that flag should float forever,
OYER their freedom, or their grave.
Furl it, for the hands that gra.ped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low
And that Banner, it is trailing,
While around 1t sound the wailin5
Offs people in their voc.
For. though conquered they adore it!
Low the cold, dead hands tha; bore it,
Weep for those who fell before 1t,
Pardon those who traied and tore il,
But OH wildly they dePlore it,
Now who furl aud fold it SO.
Furl that Banner, true It's CORY,
Yet lis wreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Though its folds are in the Dust
For its fame on brighter pages,
Penned by poets and by sages,
Snail go sounding down the ages
Furl its folds though now we must.
Furl that Banner, softly, slowly,
Treat it gently-it is holy
For it droops above The dead.
Touch il not-unfold il never,
Let it droop there fltried forever,
For it's peoples hopes are dead !

The Negro Insurrection in Jamaica.

The negro instruction IN Jamaica is
becoming fearful. The English Consu!
General at Havana has applied TO the
Captain General of Cubs for aid TO put
The negroes down, and four Spanish war
vessels have been despatched for that pur-
pose, and the British Consul in this city
has also been appealed to. All the Brit
sh force on this continent will be sent TO
prevent the slaughter Of the whites. But
Thousands doubtless will be killed before
assistance can reach them. a CorrespOn-
dent Of the New York Nc,cs says For

though its publication has not been very remu-
nerative during the past year, owing to the e1-
traordinarily high prices of printing material,
paper and labor we still believe that the jour
NAL is the most generously supported mountain
paper in the State, and that its subscription list
is not exceeded by any. 1t is fitting occasion
to return thanks TO our patrons for the generous
support extended, and to promise them that if
possible we will make it yet more acceptable
medium of local and general information than
heretofore. Nine years of newspaper experience
in Trinity has acquainted with the tastes and
desires of her people, so far as the general get
up of newspaper goes, and we shall endeaver
TO profit by 1t.
TO the nice little family of contemporaries num-
bsred on our " exchange list " we return thanks
for many professional eourtesieS extinded, hop
ing that our purses may all he heavier when the
end of the present year is reached.
TRIsIry CENrER.-We are told that things are
going on briskly up there, the cold weather con-
sidered. Miners are doing all the work they can,
but the frosty nights have materially checked the
free flow of the necessary mining element. Work
has been suspended on several quartz lodges on
account of severe weather but will be resumed
as soon as practicable There will be more than
one quartz mill in operation in that vicinity
before the Pacific Railroad is completed. By the
way, the Copper Creek Mining Company adver-
tse delinquent stock sale to-day. Before halt
the money is expended on it that has been on
plenty of worthless lodges in Nevada, it will be
good paying investment. The mines and farms
in Trinity Valley will make lively town of
