"THE AMERICAN FLAG.
When freedom from her mountain height,
Unfurled her banner to the air,
She tore the robe of azure night,
And set tho stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldrio of the skics,
And striped its pure celestial white
With sireakings of the morning's light;
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer 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 tempests trumping loud,
When stride the warriors of the siorm ;
And see the lightning lances driven,
When rolls the thunder drums of heaven!
Child of the sun! to thee ’tis given
To guard the banner of the free!
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows in 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 trumpet’s signal tone,
And the long line comes gleaming on,
Ere yet the life-blosd, warm and wet,
Has dimm'd the glistening bayonet,
Each soldier’s eye shall buighly turn
To where thy 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 gory sabres rise and fall,
Like sheets of flame on midnight’s hall—
Then shall thy meteor-glances glow,
And cowering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death!
Flag of the seas! on ocvan’s wave
Thy stars shall glitter o’er thy brave ;
‘When deatn, careering on the gale.
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frightened waves rush widely back
Before the broadside’s reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And to smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph over his closing eye §
Flag of tho free-heart’s hope and home,
By angel's hand to valcr given,
Thy stars have lit the welcome dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven!
Forever float that standard sheet,
Where breathes the foe that falls before us,
With freedom’s soil beneath our feet,
And freedom’s banner streaming o'er us !

THE KEYSTONE STATE.
Hark to the call of bugles!
Hark to the roll of drums!
Torth for the Union's Battle,
See what an army comes.
Down fiom the Alleghenies—
Down through the central gate—
Soldiers to guard the Union,
Sons of the Keystono State !
Measure them not by hundreds,
Thousands have come that way,
Ready to die, if need be,
Rather than shun the fray,
Pouring in hosts to the border,
From the early hours till late ;
These are the troops of the nation,
Sent by the Keyetone State.
Pledged for the good of the country —
Pledged to the land of their birth,
Straight from the field and harvest,
Straight from the citizen’s hearth,
See how they rally in squadrons ;
Each for the other a mate,
Guarding the Arch of the Union,
Bound by the Xoystono State !
Look to your drama, yo traitors!
View your stage with dismay;
And while the CorTIN is rising,
Down and prepare for the play!
If it’s a tragedy bloody
Picturing to you your fate,
Wait not the act that’s committed
Unto the Keystone State!
IMisgellangous,
ARTEMUS WARD ON THE SOUTH.
ERN CONFEDERACY.
THE SHOW IS CONFISCATED.
You hey perhaps wundered whareabouts I
was for those many dase gone and past.—
It's a poplar noospaper frase.
Listen to my tail, and be silent that ye
may here:
I've been amorg the Seseshers, a clarin
my daily peck by my legitimit perfeshun,
ment.
Perchans you sposed I'd gene to the Tomb
of Cappylets, tho I don’t what those is.—
and havn’t had no time to weeld my facile
quill for the «¢ Grate Komic Paper,’ if you'll
allow me kote from your troothful advertise-
and I'll wither him with one of my skornful
frowns.
But to proceed with my tail. Inmy trav-
ils threw the Sonny South, I heard a heap
of talk about Seseshun and bustin up the
Union, but I didn’t think it amounted to
nothin. The politicians inall the villages
was swarin that Old Abe (sometimes called
the Prahayrie flower) shouldn’t never be
noggerated. They also made fools of their-
selves in varis ways, but as they was used
to that I didn’t lit werry me much, and the
Stars and Stripes continnered to wave over
my little tent. Moor over, I was a Son of
Malty, and a member of several other Tem-
perance societies, and wife she was a dawter
of Malty, an I spose these fax would secoor
me the infinoenz and pertection of ail the
first famerlies. Alas! I was dispinted.—
State arter State seseshed, and it groughed
hotter and hotter for the undersined.—
Things come to a climbmacks in a small
town in Alabamy, where I was peremtorily
ordered to hawl down the Stars and Stripes.
A deppytashun of red faced men cum up to
the door of my tent, were I was standin tak-
ing money, (the afternoon exhibition had
commensed and my ltalyun organist was
jerkin was sule-stirren chimes.)
«We air cum, Sir,” said a millingtary
looking man in a cocked hat, ‘‘upon a high
and holy mishun. The Suthern eagle is a
screamin threwout this sunny land, proudly
and defiantly screamin, Sir I”
« What's the matter with him?” sez I,
«don’t his vittles settle well on his stum-
mick ¥’
¢* That eagle, sir, wiil continner to scream
all over this brite and tremenjus land !”
« Wal, let him scream. If your eagle
can amuse himself by screamin, let him
went.”
The men annoyed me for I as bizzy mak-
in’ change.
: o We are cum, sir, upon a matter of doo-
«Your right, captin, its every man’s
dooty to visit my show,” sed L.
«“ We are cum ’'——
«¢ And that’s the reason you'r here,” sez
I larfin one of my silvery larfs. I thawt if
he wanted to goak I'd give him sum of my
sparklin’ eppygrams.
«¢ Sir, yer inserlent. The plain question
is, will you hawl down the Star Spangled
Banner and hist the suthern flag 2”
« Nary hist!” Those wos my reply.
« Your wax works and beests is confisti-
cated, & you air arrested as a spy !"”
Scz I, & My fragrant roses of tne southern
clime and blooming daffodils, what's the
price of whisky in this town, and how many
cubic feet of that seductive flooid can you
individooally hold 2” :
They made no reply to that, but said my
wax figgers was confisticated. I askad them
if that was ginerally the style among thieves
in that country, to which they also made no
reply, but sed I was arrested as a spy, and
must go to Monigomery in iruns. They
was by this time jined by a large crowd of
other ~patriuts, who commenced hollerin,
«¢ Hang the bald-heded aberlitionist, and bust
up his immortal exibishun! I was ceased
and tied to a stump, and the crowd went
for my tent—that water-proof pavillioi.,
wherein instruction and amoosement had
been so much combined, at 15 cents per
Lead —and tore it all to pieces. Meanwhile,
dirty-facad boys was throwin stuns and
emty beer bottles at my massive brow; &
takin other improper liberties with my per-
son. Resistance was useless, for a variety
of reasons, which I readily obsarved.
The seseshers confisticated my statoots by
smashin them to attums. They then went
to my money box and confisticated all the
loose change therein contained. They then
went and bust in my cages, letting all the
animals loose, a small but healthy tiger
among the rest. This tiger has an excentric
way of tearing dogs to pieces, and I allers
sposed from his general conduck that he'd
have no hesitation in servin human beins
in the same way if he could git at them.
Excuse me if I was crooil, but I larfed boys-
terrusly when I saw that tiger spring in
among them people. “Go it, my sweet
cuss!” Tinardly exclaimed, ‘I forgive you
for biting off my left thum, with all my
heart! Rip ’em up like a bully tiger whose
lare has been inwaded by Seseshers!”
1 can’t say for certain that the tiger seris-
ly injured any of them, but as he was seen
a few days after sum miles distant, with a
large and well selected assortment of seats
of trousers in his mouth, and as he lookt as
thou he'd bin havin sum vilent exercise, T
rayther guess he did. You will therefore
perceive that they didn’t confisticate him
very much.
1 was carrid to Montgomery in iruns and
placed in durans vial. The jail was a or-
nery edifiss, but the table was librally sup-
plied witk Bakin and Cabbidge. This was
a good variety, for when [ didn’t hanker af-
ter Bakin I could help myself to the Cab-
bidge.
1 had nobody to talk to nor nothin to talk
about, howsoever, and I was very lonely,
specially on the first day, so when the jaler
parst my lonely sell, I put the few stray
hairs on the back part of my hed (Um bald
now, but there was a time when I wore sweet
auburn ringlets) into a dish-heviled a state
as possible, & rollin my eyes like a many-
uck, I cride : *¢ Stay, jaler, stay ! I am not
mad, but soon shall be if you don’t bring me
suthin to Taik !” He brung me sum noos-
papers, for which 1 thanked him kindly.
At larst I got a interview with Jefferson
Davis, the President of the Southern Con-
thieveracy. He was quite perlite, and axed
me to sit down and state my case. I did it,
when he larfed and sed his gallant men had
ed the Star Spangled Banner, the North gits
up and rises en massy, in defense of that
banner. Not agin you as individooals —not
agin the South even—but to save the flag, —
We should indeed be weak in the knees, un-
sound in the heart, milk white in the liver,
and soft in the hed, if we stood quietly by
and saw this glorus Govyment omashed to
pieces either by a furrin or a intestine foe.—
The gentle hearted mother hates to take her
naughty child across her knee but she knows
it is her dooty to do it. So we shall hate to
whip the naughty South, but we must do it
if you don’t malke back tracks at onct, and
we shall wollup you out of your boots! J.
Davis, it is my decided opinion that the Son-
ny South is makin a egrejus muttonhed of
herself !”
“(Go on, sir, youre safe enuff. You're too
small powder for me !”’ sed the President of
the Southern Conthieveracy.
“ Wait till I go home and start out the
Baldinsville Mounted Hoss Cavalry! I'm
Capting of that corpse, and J. Davis, be-
ware ! Jeflerson D., I now leave you !—
Farewell, my gay saler boy ! Good bye, my
bold buccaneer! Pirut of the deep blue sea,
adoo ! adoo !”
My tower threw the Southerm Conthieve-
racy on my way home was thrillin enuff’ for
yeller covers. It will form the subjeck of
my next.

of war, or transport of or in the service of
such service ; or by procuring, or attempting
er of the said contending parties ; or by
carrying officers, soldiers, dispatches, arms,

PRINTER'S PROVERBS.
Don't read aloud in the office of the Prin-
ter, for, peradventure, he may have read
the article a dozen times, and he and his
workmen are not interested by the buzzing.
It is not well to occupy the editor’s chair
longer than one hour in the morning, when
there are half a dozen waiting for their turn.
Of course the editor has no use of it.
Read the papers that are before thee, and
then fold them properly and replace them.
It is an annoyance to have them left open
and scattered about the floor.
«I should like to take your paper but
can't afford it, will step in occasionally,”
is poor encouragement for the Printer.—
Profitable cmployment of the time thou
« Joungest ” about his office would enable
thee to pay for a dozen papers.
Stop the paper if thou dost not like its
politics or morals, and then stop whining
about the manner in which it is conducted.
1t is not printed for thy special amusement
or edification alene.
Never enquire thou of the Printer for
news ; for behold it is his duty at the appoin-
ted time to give it unto thee without asking.
When thou dost write for his paper, never
say unto him, ¢ What thinkest thou of my
piece 2” for 1t may be that the truth may
offend thee.
It 1s not fit that thou shouldst ask him
who is the author of an article, for his duty
require him to keep such to himself.
When thou dost enter a printing office,
have a care upon thyself that thou dost not
touch the type, for thou mayest cause the
printer trouble
Look thou not at the copy which is in the
hands of the compositor, for that, above all
things, is positively forbidden.
A SOUTHERN LETTER.
HuxtsvILLE, ALA., May 11, 1861.
Messrs. Epirors;—In your issue of the
2d, appears a letter from a lady signed ¢ Sa-
lome.” As I read my heart zushed forth to
the writer. Would I could take her by the
hand, and in the name of my Divine Master
give her the blessing of the peace maker.—
But I cannot do that; I cannot hope even
that she will ever know of the earnest re-
sponse which met her words, fiom one whose
home is under the majestic trees and amid
the beautiful flowers of Confederated Ala-
bama: To you I may express thanks that
these words have been found in your col-
umns. I am not known to you personally,
but the name I bear has in the past, receiv-
ed from you kind consideration and person-
al regard. It will, I believe, ensure for me
your attention to these few words.
Born and educated in New England, with
the affections and sympathies of thirty years
clustering there, my head has been bowed
down as Northern papers have told me how
Northern women thirsted for the battie.—
Could they have forgotten the hundreds of
their daughters scattered all over this sec-
tion, the wives of brave men and mothers of
hoble sons, who are thus forced to bid these
husbands and sons to arm mn self defence.
One noble woman, in behalf of many, lifts
her voice in your paper for peace. So I, in
behalf of hundreds of our women, would, if
my words could reach them, say to our
brothers in the North, to our mothers and
sistersthere,— Peace. Suppose the battle to
be fought and won on your side; you will
gricve over many dead. Who will sufier
here? An enemy? No, but thousands of
lives are a continued prayer to God for mer-
brethren in the North. Who else will suff
er? Hundreds of those who age born bone
of your bone, flesh of your flesh,—those
soil, and attack their homes.
- Surely, when war 1s inaugurated under
Surely, mothers, daughters, and sisters
“ GO SLOW.”
«Go slow,” don’t become cxcited keep
your temper, don’t be too free mn speaking
of traitors and cowards when a man plainly
speaks his mind ; remember that the free.
dom of speech is one of the great ‘*‘nstitu-
tions ’’ of this country. 1f you were one
of those who oppused ihe Mexican war,
sympathized with John Brown, or if you
ever said, “no Union with slaveholder ; or
if you ever stole or secreted fugitive slaves,
or declared you would not aid in the execu-
tion of the Fugitive Slave Law, or any oth:
er law of Congress ; or if you ever said,
let the Northern Republicans stand firm:
and if the Union mustgo, then let her slide;
you are respectfully, yet earnestly, reques-
ted to “ go slow.” The Democrats have
always fought the battles of the country;
their motto has always been ¢‘The Consti-
tution, ihe Uniou and the enforcement of the
Laws.” The Democracy think that the Re:
publican party has been one of the principal
instrumatalities in bringing the present dis-
astrous state of affairs upon the country,
and if Democtats want to inquire the whys
and wherefores of the civil war they must
have that time to do it. Go slow enough to
bear always in mind that the democracy
told you a year ago that the election of Lin-
coln would produce juet such a state of aff-
airs as do now exist. If you was a fero-
cious Wide-Awake, and threatened to butt
from the bridge every locofoco who come in
your way, remember that you promised to
see Old Abe’ through, and if you have
not alreody volunteered you had better ¢ go

then too. Remember that it is a mob you
are called upon to aid in putting down and
if ecourage or aid in mobbing peaceable cits
izens, you are a disloyalist and a blackguard.
Again we repeat, ¢ go slow.” Holms Coun~
ty Farmer,
ently A pm
BrownNLow thus felicitiously describes
ithe height of impudence :” An Alabama
Secession paper inquires if the Border States
know what is ¢The Hight of Impudence ?”
We answer for the Border States, that it is
to see and hear a man swaggering and swear-
ing in every crowd he enters, that he will
go out of the Union because he can’t get his
rights, by paying the privilege guaranteed to

MASSA GREELEY"
A long leader is published in the N. Y.
Tribune, commenting on the report of Mr.
Rhett, of South Carolina, to the Confederate
Congress, as Chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Affaire, recommending “a bill re-
cognizing the existence of war between the
United States and the Confederated States.”
In this report Mr. Rhett contends for the
right of secession, and Massa Greeley knocks
down the argument by quoting Webster and
the constitution—knocks down the argument
which himself so earnestly urged last No-
vember and December, and up to the very
day of the bombardment of Fort Sumter. —
Mr. Rhett said, ¢ There is not one word in
the constitution of the United States which
denies this right (the right of secession) and
nothing but a plain specific alienation of it
ean wrest it from the States. In seceding,
therefore, from the United States, the Con-
federate States have only exercised a right
inherent in all sovereignties. * * * But
they have the right to withdraw from the
Union by virtue of another and broader prin:
ciple. In 1775 the Southern and Northern
States were colonies of Great Britain. The
British government set up the pretension to
tax them unjustly, and, as they thought,
without authority. They refused obedienca
to the taxes, threw oft the British govern-
ment, and set up a government’ for them-
selves. In their Declaration of Independ}
ence they justified their course upon the
broad ground that the people have a right to
alter and abolish their government,” &c.—
What said Greeley last November ? ¢ If
the cotton States unitedly and earnestly wish
to withdraw peacefully from tke Union, we

Again, Greeley quotes the Declaration of

TO ABOLITION REPUBLICANS.
While hundreds of our brave and patriotia
young men are responding to the call of the
President, and are marching to the tented
field prepared to sustain the government and
enforce obedience to its laws, we are sorry
tosay that we have a few persons amongst
us to stil! keep up their hypocritical cant
and declare that the present is a war for the
facedom of the negroes, the abolition of sla
very, and the vindication of Republicanism.
It is true, these persons are but few, com-
pared with the mary who feel the import.
ance of having a government to live under,
yet by their continued blabbering they strive
to keep alive the coals of party strife, and
often cause unpleasant feelings amongst cit-
izens of our borough. The President de-
sires to establish and maintain ‘the govern.
ment as it was founded, and cannot interfere
with the constitutional privileges of any
State, so that the question of slavery has
nothing to do with the issue, and it is wrong
for any sensible person, male or female, to
counteuance or listen to any one who is so
weak minded as to claim that the Northern
army 1s desirous of fresing a single slave. —
If this was the object of the President, and
the call for troops was made accordingly,
the rush for places would be greatly dimin-
ished, and we would have a divided army in
the North, in the place of a whole united
sentiment, In our ranks, Democrats and
Republicans are standing shoulder to should-
er, while the Abolitionists, who are so anx..
ous to free the negro, have suddenly dis-
covered that they cannot take up arms at
present. Now our advice is, for tnese negro
worshipers, who arc anxious to sca others
marching off, but who stay at home them-
selves, to stop talking on the subject. There
is a day of retribution coming. and they
know not how soon, and it would be oS
enough for them to take waring in time.
The Government has been assailed by a
powerful force, and it will require all its en-
ergies to maintain its supremacy. If the
battle should be against us, these brawling
Abolitionists need expect no quarter from-
our Southern foe, but should the Government
be maintained and the present insurrection
uieted, peace will be restored, and then
that peace will be maintained, even should
it be necessary to turn the point of those
bayonets, which now defend our flag, toward
the North, and force our Northern disunion-
