The glorious old flag is still the flag of
America, and is still dear to the heart of
every American. The sight of it calls to
mind scores of bloody fights by land and
sea which have added glory to our national
pane, and at the recollection of which the
pride of country grows warm within the
heart of every true son of America. Those
who once fought against that flag still love
and revere it. The feeling throughout the
South is the same as that of John C. Breck-
inridge, one of the most gallant men in the
'Confederacy,' who, but few weeks ago. un-
covered his head in respect to the Stars and
Stripes, and exclaimed: "AFTER ALL, IT
IS THE OLD FLAG! THANK GoD FOR IT!
No, let the Fourth" be celebrated by
Democrat and Republican, not as partisans
but as AMERICANS. On that day let US
forget our political enmities, and be for one
day what we should be forever, true lovers
of our country. true citizens Of our State,
true men, working for the good of each
other and the glory of the nation. 9..

Plaster Banks & Salt Works Railroad, from

great obstacles, and that the road can, com
paratively, be cheaply built. When built,
MIR. B. says, that it willsbe the straightest
line l,etween the South and Baltimore, yet
eonstructed--by seventy or eighty miles. He
says the advantages of this road to Iredell

JULY { (sJ[II- ~ /: 1869. ! :'es }: !.

Our ticklish neighbor of the Sentinel has 4
again had it's gentle heart wounded! Its
latest agony is brought about by its fears
that militia are to be sent to invade Rock 4
ingham county. There are several errors in /
the Sentiners statement fthe proposed sin
vasion.n The first is that the militia cannot
"invade" any county Of the State. aAninva-5
sion, as defined by WEBSTER, is ''the act of
encroacbing upon the rights or possessions
of another" "a warllke or hostile entrance
into the possessions or domains Of another.p
The Governor, as the Chief Magistrate of
the whole State, has an undoubteda right to
send the troops of the Statcito any section
or portion thereof, when requested by
five magistrates In doing this the troops
sent, by him are not "enrroaching upon the
rights or possessions of another," nor do
they make as'warlike orr hostile entrance
into tho possessions or domains of another,"a
because each and every county IS a part of
the commonwealth and are subject to its
laws and authority Therefore it is plain
that our legal friend of the Sentinel is
wholly wrong in using the term 'invade."
This, however,, Isl not to he wondered at as
we never heard aour friend Of f'lthe Sentinel
accused of being much of a lawyer, nor Of
possessing any extraordinary powers as a
casuist. 1t may be, however, that the edi-i
tol of the Sentinel is not guilty of the article.
1t may have been written by some of those
protesting lawyers who have been helping
friend TURNER by writing his editorials for
him, thus earning an honest penny-the
more valuable for the rarity of the
occurrence and at the same
time willing away the time while
awaiting the coming Of a client. Should
such he the case, we are not surprised at the
legal ignorance of the article, as what little
legal knowledge that ever found an abiding
place in the small brains of the protesting
lawyers, was frightened out of them by the
Supreme Court. In the second place, we do
not feel at liberty to state who sent for the
+ militia, because-in the third place-nobody
ever did send for them and-in the fourth
and last pace-no militia arc going to Rock-
ingham county We do not know whether
or no any militia will ever in the future visit
that county, Perhaps if our dearly beloved
friend of the Sentinel should deliver few
more agricultural q speeches in that county,
he might, by his incendiary statements, in,
( ducc his Ku Klux friends to behave so
badly as to require to be whipped intoshape
by the militia. Otherwise, we think Rock
ingham county won't he invaded y at
present. The extreme fear of the militia,
/ however, always evinced by the Sentinel,
leads many to inquire whether its tinidity
is not caused by the quakings of guilty
conscience Its hatred of the militia is
doubtless upon, the same principleas that by
/ which -Ii zeiE IS t+sE
