Hon. Ben. Hill, of Georgia, in a late

United States flag:
All hail the flag, Raise high the
flag of our fathers! Let Southern

reflect it! Southern patriots will love
it, Southern sons will defend it, aud
Southern heroes will die for it! And
as It's folds unfurl beneath the heavens
let uur vniccs unite aud swell the loud
invocation Flag of our Union, wave
on wave ever! But wave over free
men, not owe subjects. Wave over
States, not over provinces. And now
let the voices OF patriots from the
North and from the East, and from
The West, join II voices from the
South, and send to heaven one univer-
sal, according chorus. Wave on, flag
OF our fathers! Wave forever! But
wave over a Union Of equals, not over

The distress prevailing Mt Savannah,
Ga, on account of the yellow fever, is
said to be something appalling, and
there seems to be no abatement of the
epidemic. A correspondent of an AT
lahta paper, writing from Savannah q
few days since, says: There are, at the
lowest estimate, 800 cases of fever in
the city, and mostly among the poorer
classes. The death rate slowly but
surely increases each day. The "un-
terrified had, until the last few days,
kept up stolid countenances, but tho
continual stream Of hcarses, and wag.
ons Of every description, carrying COT
liGs for the dead in all directions,
hlanched the checks of the bravest,
each wondering if his turn would come
next, and wishing he were miles away.
BY nine o'clock the streets ale entirely
deserted, aud silence reigns, reminding
one OF the city Of the dead. Now ard
hen u may be seen hurrying along
the streets in quest of medicine for the
sick or for a doctor. Even the dogs
seem to be elected by the gloom, and
their bark is seldom heard.

When Foote got to Grecneville, he
denied some rather awkward facts con

whereupon n GreeneviIle paper nails
the lie to the counter in the following

speech at this place and stated posi-
lively that he did not say in a speech
delivered in this place in lS6l-that
"every Union man should be shot down

Thn Rev. Mr.. Dunjcc, the celebrated

"Thc negro is now passing through

blacks we're born and brought up to-

The late trouble at Hamburg, South

had in the South since the war, have
not been the result Of any i'll feeling

result of the action Of bad men, who

In this canvass one demand should
be made by ali who love their country,
irrespective of party scntlment-let
Grant take his heavy hand off the
South. OF our soldiers we may say
to him as Richard III said to StDnly
"What do they in the South when they
should serve their country in the West
Why should Mississippi be strongly
garrisoncd while troops are wanted to
fight Sitting Bull in Dakota and all
that region which is now threatened
with a long, cruel and possibly q dis
astlous war; Senator Bayard in n re.
cent debate showed how Mississippi
has suffered under one Of the worst
State governments ever known, and
how much consideration and wisdom
are wanted to enforce the much need
ed reforms. The views Of Mr.. Bayard
are not extreme in this case. Missis-
sippi, and the whole South indeed, are
orderly enough, and a Presidential
campaign is not the time when large
bodies of troops should be stationed in
any State when they are to fight the
enemy. There is a dividing
line between caution and ~rashncss, and
we hope the administration may find it.
