THE REBEL FLAG is still in existence, and
we may expect, under the Inspiring in.
fuences vouchssfed by Democratic promises
OF success, to see 1t soon undulating in the
breezes OF heaven In the south.
There was public meeting last rday
evening In Charleston, South Carolina, and
we are told that the band played "Dixie," and
other inspiring southern airs, and there was
much enthusiasm. Wade Hampton was called
out. bespoke In complimentary words of the
ehivalry OF Charleston, and he told the crowd
that "he had preserved the flag from the gene.
raj wreck and had cherished II, and he intended
to keep 1t until they had = State again" His
speech was received with tumultuous ap.
plause.
This does not look much like accepting the
situation, but 1t does look like the Inaugural.
tion of another rebellion when Seymour and
Blair shall be elected.
The rebels mean this time war not outside
but inside OF the Uuion, and they confidently
rely upon the Democratic party to aid them
in the overthrow of the government by VIC
lcnce.

Held, when assembled for worship, he bought
the land on both sides Of their meeting house,
aud then tried to buy the church property.
ing to pay, he built solid board fence on
each side Of the house up to the caves, thus
closing the windows and making the house
too dark for use, as well as sutfocatingly hot.
black on the sides toward the church. A com.
plant OF the fence as nuisance, made In the
proper quarter, will probably set the matter

on Government land at Fortress Monroe a
store In which to sell their wares. Gen. But
Ter thought they should pay rent for the land,
and on the report Of a special commission,
he assessed the firm accordingly, and turned
the money realized into the United States
Treasury. Now Kimberly Brothers sue Gen.
Butler for the amount which he, as Govern
ment agent, rightly took from them, but we
do not think that even q Maryland court can
see the justice Of their cause.
We take the above paragraph from the Tri-
bane. The Journals which have been for several
days past accusing Gen. Butler with robbing
these men will, doubtless, fail to see this cor
rection.
