Rev. John Pierpont, in the Unitarian church in
Medford, on the part Of the parish over which Mr..
Pierpout was last settled. The pulpit and sur.
roundings were appropriately adorned with flowers
and evergreen wrsaths. In the rear of the pulpit,
directly behind the preacher, was the Sorptural
motto, ~ have kept my faith" over which was an
anchor intsrtwinsd with evergreen. After the
usual introductory services, the Rev Mr. Towns,

The NEW NATION.-We have received the
second number of weekly newspaper pub
lished in Richmond, Va, by the Rev. J.W,
HUNNICUTT, whom many of our readers viii
remember as Virginia Unionist, driven from
bis home for his fidelity to the government
founded and administered by virginians less
than hundred years ago. A specimen num-
Der OF the Neao Nation was published last
fall the number now before us is the first of
the regular series. Mr.. Hunnicutt writes to
friend in this city that he considers himself
missionary, and is living like one. He and
his two sons are boarding themselves IN most
primitive fashion, denying themselves many
things which would be considered necessaries
of life by most people, doing most of the
work ON the new journal themselves, and
working the entire edition on hand press.
Their design is, whenever means can be OBJ
tained. to publish 1000 copies weekly for gra-
tuitous circulation among the colored people
and the poorer class of whites. Mr.. Hunni-
cutt raised $500 in the North for his enter
prise, but finds the whole amount taken up
in his necessary outfit, at present prices. 1t Is
greatly to be desired that the means of prose-
cutting this truly missionary labor may in
some way be provided.

Roundhead and Cavalier.

The N. Y. ESening Post, IL criticism upon
Mr.. J. E. Cookies biography Of "Stonewall"
Jackson, noticed few days since in our col
umns, makes the following suggestive refec-
ton:
One very suggestive fact in regard to his he
no, Mr.. Cooke naturally does not make promi-
nent, yet it has often and forcibly occurred to
us. 1t is that this favorite and most remarka-
BILE of rebel chieftains was in no way a repre-
sentative Of what is regarded as the Southern
type of manhood. He had absolutely moth
ing of the Cavalier" about him, either in
manners or essential traits. He was as com
plete "Roundhead" as ever cleaved the skull
of one of Prince Rupert's gaily tricked fol-
lowers. A Presbyterian of the most uncom-
promising school, rigid, angular, methodic, un
graceful, the very incarnation of the Round
head type, he had little that seemed likely 70
recommend him to the favor of people VINO
have so long affected to dislike and desPise 81
these characteristics as savoring TOO Inuen u
"Yankee Puritansm." Southern men may
now find some useful material for renectlon IN
this fact. ..v ~ II"

GENERAL GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY
The Galena, Illinois, Daily Gazette of the 14th
inst, notices the nomination If General Grant
for the presidency, by republican meeting in
Rochester, New York. 1t says that General
Grant is soldier and not politician, that he
has taken no part with either Congress or the
President and that his opinions must be gath
cred from his official acts. The Gazette then
adds, with an emphasis which attracts some
attention from the fact that Galena is General
Grants home ,n uasanI -t
We know all his hopes and sympathies are
with the great and patriotic union party of this
country. In feeling and sentiment he is thor
oughlf identified with the millions of loyal
people who in the long years of war and car
mage and blood, gave their hearts, their blood,
and their treasure to their country. He has
neither sympathy nor toleraion for any party,
nor any set OF men, who were against the coun ;
try In the terrible time ofrial and peril through
which 1T has safely passed. ~.
With no ambition but to serve the best in-
terests of his country, guided by the loftiest
patriotism, looking TO q regenerated nation,
now resting upon the basis ofuniversal liberty,
all loyal and good men can now turn to him as
their reliance and hope. If the good of the
nation demand it, there can be no donbt that
he will, at the proper time, respond to the
unanimous voice of his loyal countrymen, and
permit them to rally under his banner, which
will prove no less victorious in peace than Ii
was in the storm-cloud of war.

Extravagance in Dress.


In the last number Of the Atlantic Month
ly, Mrs. Stowe devotes her Chimney Corner"
paper to the subject of woman's dress, which
she handles with more than ordinary sense
and skill. After touching upon the fact that
most of the absurd, exaggerated and gaudy
fashions which have prevailed for the last few
years have had their origin among the dis
reputable, the de,ni-monde, and that for this
reason if not for their atrocious bad taste,
every decent woman should blush to initiate
them, she goes on to make the following time
ly suggestions: ela a-rli q .leAa''a s.
In France, as Monsieur Dupin, Edmond
About and Michelet tell us, the extravagant
demands of love for dress lead women to con-
tract debts unknown to their husbands, and
sign obligations which are paid by the sacri-
fees of honor, and thus the purity of the
family is constantly undermined In England
there il voice of complaint, sounding from
the leading periodicals, that the extravagant
demands of female fashion are bringing dis
possible; and something of the same sort
seems to have begun here. We are across the
Atlantic, to he sure, but we feel the swirl and
drift OF the great whirlpool; only, fortunately
we are far enough off to be able to see whit6-
er things are tending, and to stop ourselves if
we will. t f,1-it.-~ ..f. -..f.t.... ...t.
We have just come through great strug-
Gle, in which our women have borne a heroic
part-have shown themselves capable of any
kind OF endurance and selfsacrifce; and now
we are in that reconstructive state which
makes it of the greatest consequence to our
selves and the world that we understand our
own institutions and position, and learn
that instead of following the corrupt and worm
out ways of the Old World, we are called up
on to set the example of new state OF soci-
ety-noble, simple, pure and religious; and
women can do more towards this even than
men, for women are the real architects OF So
ciety. .-..e -- 81.

Jamaica.


"The Late InsuTection in Jamaica, is the
title of an article from the pen of Mr.. G. Rey-
nolds in the last AtIantic The writer re-
views the scenes and events which have
already been fully described, commenting
with just severity on the frightful atrocities
committed by the English authorities, and re-
marks:
We know that the South plotted and CON-
summated rebellion; that her people have slain
three hundred thousand of our sons on the
battlefield; that more than thirty thousand
have wasted and died of slow torture in her
prisons, that whenever the secrets of that
charnel-house, Southern life, are disclosed,
they will tell of thousands Of Unionists who
were hung, who were shot, who were burned
at the stake, who were hunted by dogs, who
were scourged to death with whips, and all be-
cause they were faithful to their country
And knowing all this, is there a man of the
North who, when military resistance has ceas-
ed, would march our armies Southwark, hang
every tenth man, shoot every fourth, scourge
as many more, and suffer a wild soldiery to
strip half naked and score with cruel whips
thousands of the women? And does 1t alter
the moral aspect of the case, that these things
are transacted on little island of the sea.
and not on the continent-or that the suffer-
er is black instead of white? =.

ORIGIN OF THE PENNANT.-Since the days
of Van Tromp, the Dutch Admiral, the pen
nant has been the distinguishing mark o.
ships of war commanded by an officer of the
rank of Commodore or Admiral. The PEN
nant originated in the response made by the
English Admiral to Van Tromp's insolent dist
play of a broom at his mast head, as indica-
tive Of his intention to sweep the English from
the sea. The Englishman in return, hoisted
horsewhip as significant of his intention to
chastse the Dutchman. The pennant which
symbolized the horsewhip, was thenceforth
adopted as the distinguishing mark of a flag

THE BRAVE FLAG BEARER.

On the 18th of January, 1855, perhaps many
OF our readers may forget, but 4 do not, there
was elegant skating in our city here, and al
most everybody who had skates, was out en-
joying that dehRatial exercise, But on the
eastern coast OF North Carolina, was enacted
one OF the most terrific conflicts the world has
ever witnessed. Oh, i was an awful sight to
see those gallant young mariners, snd soldiers
as they marched into the jaws of death, into
the very cannon mouths OF Fort Fisher.
No sooner had they got within twenty rods
of the fort, when they were suddenly moved
down like 80 much grass. The conflict ragged
in this manaer for about three hours when
the reb.ls in the eastern part of the fort, sud-
denly gave way, and in an instant brave un-
daunted officer, Col. Pennypacser, leaped up
the rampant and with the words, "God bless
that fagh he planted the Stars aud Stripes
on Fort Fisher. But no sooner had the words
escaped his lips, than he fell back with 81 =
we're wound in his right thigh. When the
gallant soldiers saw our dear old flag waving
there, with cheer upon cheer, they rushed into
the fort. After short hand to hand combat,
the renowned Fort Fisher fell. After the bat
tie when the soldiers went 10 gather up the
wounded, and bury the dead, they found the
gallant Colonel, entiisy unconscious, and
almost dead. They carried him to the beach,
some distance from the boats, and there lie
lay two days and two nights witholt any
covering except a hlanket- No '.~~ shcn tHkeu
