Lieutenant w. l.. Marshall, of the
United States Engineer Corps, has pre-
sented a beautiful UEited States flag to
the city of Rome, Georgia, and accom-
panied it with letter in which he says: (:
ITO cultivate n pride in our country is
duty which we all owe to ourselves
and to the rising generation. In no
better way can it be done than to oblit-
crate from memory the scenes associated
with this emblem for the past eighteen
years. have no doubt that the patri.
otto citizens OF Rome are now ready
again to take to their hearts the old flag,
and to teach their children to reverence
it ever, as they were taught IN their
early childhood" The City Council
accepted the gift with thanks, directed
the Mayor to canse il to be displayed
with appropriate ceremonies on the
Fourth of July, and, by resolution. as.
sured Lieutenant Marshall TINT they
responded most heartily to his patriotic
sentiments, and lopged for tho time
when our people shall DO united again
under its broad folds, and enjoying,
free and untrammelled, that liberty,
equality and fraternity once the proud
boast Of our people North, South, East
aud West.
Strange ms II may appear, the abo o
is from the New York Times. The con-
duct OF that Southern City Council Ia
justly entitled to the anathemas Of that
class Of journals, in Tint IL has grossly
violated every single particular OF the
regulation prescribed by radical papers
for such occasions. But II would seem
that by an exercise Of anti.belum dill.
gence and ingenuity. even this might
have been worked mp into respectable
southern outrage"

The law before existing required the
Postmaster, where an insufficientiy
stamped letter was deposited, to forward
the letter to its destination, accompanied
by way-bill stating the amount to be
collected. Now all the Postm masters
throub bout the country have been sup
piled with brown stamps of various
denominations, aud when an INSULT
ciently stamped letter is received at the
delivering Office these stamps are placed
thereon to the amount due. and for

for other stamps. When person sees

this manner he may make up his mind
