DIP NOT Know WHAT IT WAs.-Sergeant
Bates, it appears, has accomplished his feat
of carrying lie American flag, unturled, from
John o Glolt's to Lands End, and without
molestation. The English papers are disposed
to treat the matter as quiet an event, and to
claim great credit for the English people for
their treatment Of our flag.
The Detroit Union is not disposed to allow
them much credit for their forbearmce. II
says the fact is they did not know what il
was. 1t has been so many ycas since the
English people have seen an American flag
that they have quite forgotten how it looked.
Since the destruction of American shipping
by the Radical party, our flag is a rare sight
in any foreign port; and the English people
are entitled to neither credit nor blame for not
being aware that the piece Of bunting which
Sergeant Bates carried was the emblem Of the
land Of the reef

The Burning Of Hamilton.

In our local, and also Geographic
columns, will be found the particu-
lars OF n of the most destructive
confiagrations that has ever occurred
in the State. Nearly all the business
portion of the town of Hamilton is in
ashes. But two business houses with
stood the flames. With these excep-
tons Main, Hamilton. Hunter and
Treasure streets were swept clean.
The burnt district must extend lear.
lv half a mile in length by several
hundreds of yards in width. The
total loss is estimated at a half a mill
lion of dollars. But little was saved
by any one, and there must ne~ceSSaril-
" be great restitution if not suffering
among those unfortunate people.
In this dire extremity Eureka
should respond literally. The
people of Hamilton are our
neichbors and friends, and we hope to
see a movement inaugurated immedi-
atelv for their relief. Who will take
the lead? We can certainly do some
thing. and that quickly. 1t has been
suggested that the funds raised for
Fourth ofJuly purposes be donated
TO the sufferers. This is not a bed
idea. even if we are compelled t. fore
so our celebration. At all events, let
US lend Il aid if it is needed.

Materialism.

The Sacramento Record leans per-
ceptibly TO the materialism of Oar
win and his followers. 1t Is of tine
opinion that there must come imme-
diately a philosophical settlement be-
tween the disciples Of the doctrine of
immortality, and those Of Darwin
and the German mdttrialiSts who
have out-Darwined Darwin. In con-
clusion, the Record observes, 0ncern-
Ing immortality that sit is a question
on which the world must make up its
mind, for better or for worse, and il is
lot a little to be regretted that at a
time when the flood of evolutionary
materialism threatens TO sweep all
old faiths away and leave US drifting
in a midnight ocean, the spiritual
teachers Of nearly all the churches
appear intellectually paralyzed, and
dole out flavorless and innutritious
husks of dogma to a people craving
for intelligent and authorize alive solu-
ton of the tremendous problems tha.
eppress them.
