THE AMERICAN FLAG.

Unfured her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with it's glorious dyes
The milky baldric of the skies.
And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings Of the morning light,
Then from her mansion in the sun,
She called her eaglebearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch of the cloud!
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest triumph loud.
And see the lightning glances driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thunder-drum of heaven
Child of the sun. to thee it's given
TO guard the banner Of the free,
TO hover in the sulphur smoke
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid it's blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war;.
The harbingers of victory!
Flag of the brave. thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph high.
When speaks the signal-trumpet tone
And the long lines come cleaning on.
Ere yet the life blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayOnet,
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where the sky-born glories burn,
And, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the
glance,
And when the cannOn-mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And glory sabres rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on midnight's pail,
Then shall the meteor's glances glow,
And covering foes shall shrink be-
Meath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag Of the seas! on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave;
When death. careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frightened waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's Keeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph Ger his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and home.
BY angel hands to valOr given,
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be-
fore us,
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet.
And Freedoms banner streaming DER

THERE IS no INTERFERENCE.

bayetteVllle observer.
An esteemed contemporary likens the
advice of Mr. Bryan and Chairman
Jones to North Carolina Democrats to
foreign Intervention" or the dictati1n
of the Powers" to the United STATES
in its relation to Spain. Rather, we
should say, the action of Messrs. Bryan
and Jones is like that of the Federal
government in calling upon the States
to furnish their quota of troops to do
battle in a war which the Federal gov
ernment is waging. In fact, the twG
things are of precisely the same char
acter. If there had been any dOub,
on that point heretofore, the action
of the State Committee. at it's recent
meeting, in declaring that the Demo
cratic party is national party ana
the party in North Carolina a part of
it. settles the matter.
There has been no interference. Messrs
Bryan and Jones would have been faith
less to their duty il they Rad failed
to give the party in this and other
States the benefit of their larger vision.
We do not defy the Federal govern
ment when it calls for troops to go be-
yOnd our borders. Nor may we justly
object to the leadership. in matters con
corning national party policy, of our nat
ional leaders. They say nothing about
our State affairs, but, TO the patriotic
North Carolinian, it certainly ought not
to be an objection to their advice that its
adoption would also restore our home
government to the control of Vance's
followers.

MEDALS FOR SOLDIERS.
MIR. Grow Calls Up a "Reminiscences of
BaItimOre's stormy Days.

BaltimOre's stormy Days.
Washington, Feb. AIT the opening of
the session of the House to-day, Mr.. Grow,
Rep, of Pennsylvania, asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of reso-
luton directing the Secretary of War to
issue medals of $50 Pennsylvania soldiers
who belonged to the command which
passed through the mob at Baltimore
April Is, 1861, and who received the thanks
of Congress, July %, 1861.
Mr. Hull, chairman of the military af-
fairs committee objected.
Several other requests for unanimous
consent met a similar fate.
The army appropriation bill was sent to
conference, Messrs. Hull, Rep, of Iowa,
Marsh, Rep. of Illinois, and Cox, Dem,
OF Tennessee, being appointed conferees.
The House then went into committee of
whole and resumed consideration of the
District of Columbia appropriation bill.
The district bill was completed and
passed shortly after o'clock, after which
the House took up the Notifications bill.
Mr.. Hemenway, Rep, of Indiana, in
charge of the bill, explained its provisions.
The estimates of the department for for
tifications and other works Of defense
that are urgent etc, were $l337S,S71 while
the amount carried by the bill was but
SI144.912. In discussing defense works
erected under this policy Mr. Hemenway
stated that the defense of New York har-
Dor was complete. He quoted the chief
of ordnance as having said to him that
not enough war vessels could now enter
the harbor in the face of the present de-
Tense system TO materially damage the
city.
1t was arranged that the general debate
should close tomorrow at 3 O'clock
Mr.. Ferguson, delegate from New Mex
leo. got the floor and under the latitude al
lowed for debate argued the injustice of
denying statehood to New Mexico. He
said If statehood was delayed all the val
liable land lately restored to the public do
main which could be selected by the ter
ritory for school purpose would be gone.
He applied for the passage of a bill allow
ing the territory to select lands now.
Mr.. Underwood, Dem, of Alabama crit
icised the Notifications bill because it did
not provide for the Inauguration of de-
Tense works at the harbors along the coast
of the Gulf of Mexico. Mobile harbor
would be the first harbor entered by the
Spanish fleet If we should become involved
in war with Spain
Mr. Mcclellan. Dem, Of New York, also
criticised the bill.
At o'clock the House adjourned.
