History of the American Flag. Captain Schuyler Hamilton, U. S. A..,, in a work published some years ago, on the American Flag, says: "The first col-. ors spoken of in connection with the . A merican Revolution, were significantly enough called 'Union Flags,' •No ac count is given of the devices upon them. They are frequently Spoken of in the newspapers of 1774. The Connecticut troops fixed upon their standards and their drums, in 17'15, the motto, Qui Nauslatit Sustsnit,' in letters of gold; literally, He who has transplanted us hither will supportVs.' This was the motto. Each regiment was distinguished by its colors, blue, orange, &c. On July 18th, 1775,Gen. Putman unfurled at Cambridge, Mass., on the joyful occasion of the re ception in that town of the Declaration of Independence; a standard bearing this motto on the side; 'An Appeal to Heaven,' and on the other, 'Qui Naudatit Sustinit."rhis flag was flung to the breeze amid the roar of cannon and the shouts of the people., It was said at that time that the Philistines on Bunker Hill heard the cheers of the Israelites (Israel Putnam,) and being fearful, par aded themselves in ,battle array. This flag was a red one, the signal of defiance or battle since the days of the Romans. In September 1775, Col. Moultrie un furled a large blue flag, with a crescent in one Corner. This was the first Amer ican flag displayed in South Carolina, and was used at the taking of. Fort John . son, on James Island. The crescent is an emblem of sovereignty. A standard, with a white ground, a pine tree in the middle, and the motto, "Appeal to Heaven," was adopted in 1.775, as the flag of the Floating Batter- On January 2nd, 1776—the day that gave birth to the new - American Army =the flag designated as " The Great Union Standard," was hoisted. This was the basis of the National Flag of the present day. In 1776 was adopted the standard to be used by the Coinmander-in-Chief of the American Navy, being a yellow field, with a lively representation of a rattle snake in the middle, in the attitude of striking. Underneath were the words, "Don't tred on me." The same year, the cruisers of the Colony of Massachu setts hoisted a white flag, with a green pine tree, and the motto, "Appeal to heaven." On the 14th of June, 1777, Congress passed the following resolution: Resolved, That the Flag of the Thir teen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white, in a blue field, representing a new Constitution. This was the origin of the National Flag of the United States—the glorious 'Stars and Stripes,—which has proudly waved since that day over many of the greatest victories of modern times— that stirs the blood of every true-hearten citizen, wherever he beholds it floating to the breeze—that waves in every part of the world, and that is everywhere honored and respected, on sea and shore. The above resolution was made pub lic on September 3d, 1717. According to Colonel Trumbull, the flag made in pursuance of it was first used at the sur render of Burgoyne, October 17th, of the same year. This Was a glorious begin ning, truly; for that was one of the most important victories of American arms during the Revolution. The first change in the National colors was-direct ed in the following enactment of Con gress, adopted January 18th, 1794: "Be it enacted, o•c., That from and af ter the Ist day of May, 1795, the Flag of the United States be fifteen stripes, al ternately red and white; and that the Union be fifteen stars, white, in a blue field." . • This was the Flag of the United States during the war of ISI2-14. In 1818 the Flag of the United States was again altered. On the suggestion of Hon. Mr. \Vendower, of the State of New York, a return was made to thirteen stripes, as it was anticipated that the deg would become unwieldy if a stripe was added. on . the admission of each State; and moreover, by the plan propos ed—namely, the addition of a star for each new State— the Union of the old Thirteen States, as well as the number of States comprising the existing Union, would both be presented by the Flag of our United States. Mr. Wend ewer also proposed the arrangement of the stars in the Union in the form of a single star. The resolution of - 1818 - was as follows- Resolved, That from and after the Fourth day of July next, the Flag of the United States be thirteen horizontal MARIETTA, PA., SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1861. stripes, alternately red and white; that the Union be twenty stars, white, on a blue field; and that, , on the admission of a new State into the Union, one star be added to the Union of the flag; and that such addition shall take effect on the Fourth of July succeeding such admis- EEO The flag planted on the national pal ace in the city of Mexico had thirty stars in the Union. It is now deposited in the Department of State at Wash- iugton HORRIBLE BRUTALITY.—The Buffalo Courier states that a Coroner's inquest was held in that city on Tuesday last, upon the body of a little girl named Anna Maria Buehringer, who died on the preceeding Thursday from injuries supposed to have been recived at the hands of her father and stepmother: Drs. King and Miner examined the body and found it almost covered with marks of brutal castigation. The back, chest, legs and arms were cut and bruised most shockingly, the blood oozing from some of the wounds so as to disfigure the white covering in which the corps was wrapped. The father, when on the stand on Friday last, acknowledged having beaten the child with a "stick of kindling wood" the day previous, because she was disobedient. The "stick of kindling wood" seems to have been about two feet in length, and of the width and thick ness of a man's two fingers, and with which the flesh of the victim was cut at every plow as with a knife. Drs. King and Miner gave it as their opinion that the girl died from the effects of ill treat ment and starvation. The jury rendered a verdict of manslaughter in the fourth degree, against Michael Buehringer, the father, Augusta Buehringer, the step mother and Anna Maria Wesnthral, the mother of Ales. Beuhringer, who were immediately taken in custody. TIIAT MOUSTACHE.-A- certain young lady whose wit was only eclipsed by her beauty, was on a certain occasion the local point of admiration, and had more satellites than Saturn. Among the num ber who were only too happy to do her the slightest pleasure, was Mr. A—, a young man of the modern school of beauty, with a good deal of jewelry .and a very little mustache, which, by dint of mach coaxing and petting, had just made its appeareuce upon his upper lip, in its most incipient and insipid stages. The young lady to whom we have re ferred, to test the gallantry of her ad mirer, presented him an almond, and re quested him to crack it for her. A., only too glad to do her bidding, and searching in vain for any other means, cracked it with his teeth, and handed it to his enamorata, when the following short but pointed dialogue ensued : "You have very sharp teeth," remark ed the teaser, dryly. " Very sharp, I assure you," replied A., "would you believe it—when I was a boy I used to amuse myself by biting off the heads of birds and chickens ?" " Oh, indeed! very probable," replied the lady, " I could have guessed as much, I think I see some of the down on your lip l" Our informant adds that young A. struck a bee-line for a barber's shop, and has never since attempted to culti vate a moustache. CorwAY's INDIAN WAR RIO RS: Geo. Copway is in Washington, and has ten dered to the President a company of In dians of Michigan. He has made a se lection of one hundred tall, fleet Indians, whom he proposes to use as scouts and runners for the army, and occupy the ad vanced posts from Cairo to Eastearn Vir ginia. They are not to be armed:except so far is necessary for self defence, but their fleetness and knowledge of forest life, are to be employed as messengers and auxiliaries to the army on the out posts. He says they all understand the position of the government. He comes strongly backed by the members of the extra session of the legislature of Michi gan. The State of Michigan will equip them. Their acceptance is under consid eration. A HARD TASK.—Among the Sunday school of a certaic church was a poor little fellow. He could'nt tell the num ber of the house in which he lived, and was charged, when he next came to school, to bring it. The next time he appeard, he was asked if he brought the number ? "No sir," said he, "it is nail ed on the doer so tight that I couldn't' get it off." The Emperor of Austria has gained his suit in the matter of the Kogsuth notes ENLISTS TO JOIN HER LOVER: The Cin cinnati Gazbtte tells the following: A young girl of Ohio, whose lover had en listed, determined to join him. She was inspected, accepted, and sworn in with the rest of the company; marched to Camp Jackson, Ohio, drilled there several days, when she was sent %ith the Third Ohio regiment to Camp Dennison, near Cincinnati. Here she assisted in all the duties of forming a new camp, handling lumber, standing sentry, &c., until Saturday last a week, when; ascer taining for the first time, that there were two Camp Dennisons, and that while she was in one her lover was in the other, in Lancaster, Pa., she went to Col. Mor row; and requested to be changed from the company she was in, giving as her reason that she preferred to associate with Americans, and her company was composed of Irishmen. Her real design was, when her request should be granted, to choose a place in one of the companies of the Second regi ment, not knowing that it would be im• possible to change her from one regiment to another. Col. Morrow discovered the secret of her sex. Marshal Thomp son supplied her with apparel more ap propriate to her sex, having enrobed her self in which she expressed a desire to leave, as she had friemis in the city with whom she could sojourn. She was re leased.' W. H. RUSSELL: John Forsyth of the Mobile Register, thus writes from Mont gomery to his paper: "W. H. Russell, the famous Indian and Crimean corre spondent of the London Times, is here. He.is, of course, reserved in the expres sions of his opinion. But enough has leaked out in his interviews with the gentlemen of Savannah and Charleston, and the planters who have entertained him and exhibited their slave estates in the vicinity of these two cities, to show that he recognizes here the true type of of the Anglo-Saxon race, as distinguish ed from the whittling and puritanical bastard degenerates of that race IVho are daring to make a war of decimation against us. Mr. Russell goes hence to Pensacola, and thence to Mobile and New Orleans. I commend him to the hospitalities of our people, as a cultvated English gentleman, who has distinguish ed himself by his talents and attain ments." BISHOP STMPS'ON AND THE STARS AND STRIPES.—Bishop Simpson recently de livered. a sermon on our national crisis, ih Chicago. It is described as being the most eloquent and overwhelming effort ever made by the Bishop. Thou sands heard it, and were effected be yond all precedent. No language can describe the grandeur and the emotions of the occasion. At one-point in the sermon, and as the fitting close of a most impassioned paragraph, the follow ing noble sentiment was uttered :—"We will take our glorious flag—the flag of our country—and nail it just below the cross ! That is high enough I There let it wave as it waved of old. Around it let us gather; First Christ's then our Country's.'" FAITHFUL TO TEE ElfD.—On the day of his death, in his eightieth year, Elliot, "the Apostle of the Indians," was found teaching the alphabet to as Indian child at his bedside. "Why not rest from your labors now ?" said a friend. "Be cause," said the venerable man, "I have prayed to God to render me useful in my sphere, and =he has heard my prayers ; for now that I can no longer preach, he leaves me strength enough to teach this poor child his alphabet."

Ter - r - n--C).lae _lDtcalar a. -Max_ MEMORY OF THE ELEPHANT.-A female elephant, belonging to a gentleman at Calcutta, -who was ordered from the upper country , to Chittagong, in the route thither, broke loose from her keeper, and making her way to the woods, was lost. The keeper made every ex cuse to vindicate himself, which the master of the animal would not listen to, but branded the man with carelessness, or something worse ; for it was instantly supposed that lie sold the elephant. He was tried for it, and condemned to work on the road for life, and his wife and children were sold for slaves. About twelve years afterward, this man, who was known to be well acquainted with breaking elephants, was sent into the country with a party to assist in catch ing wild ones. they came upon a herd, and this man fancied he saw among the group, his long lost elephant for which he had been condemned. He resolved to approach it—nor coulfithe strongest remonstrances of the party dissuade him from the attempt. Having, reached the animal, he spoke to her when she imme diately recognized his voice ; she waved her trunk in the air, as a token of salu tation, and spontaneously laid down and allowed him to mount her neck. She afterwards assisted in taking other ele phants, and decoyed three young ones, to which , she had given birth in her ab• sence. The keeper returned, and the singular circumstances attending the re covery being told, he regained his char acter; and as a recompense for his suf fering, had a pension settled on him for life.—Popular Natural History. THE VENTRILOQUIST AND THE DRAYMAN. —As a drayman was furiously beating his lank, half starved mule, near the Government Square, Havana, says the Cuban Messenger, he was astounded to hear the animal exclaim, "Enough ! you brute !" The drayman looked aghast, and searched under his dray and around his mule, to find the origin of this strange sepulchral voice, when again he was hor rified to hear, from the animal to all ap pearances, " You. are a brute !" The drayman was dumfounded, trembled like an aspen leaf, and dropped his whip as if stung by an adder. He blessed him self and was about falling upon his knees, when he again heard, " I was your moth er once upon a time !" This capped the climax, and a gentleman from the crowd that had gathered around, endeavored to explain to the terror stricken drayman, that sometimes disembodied spirits re turn to the world in the form of animals. Just at thp.t. moment Signor Blitz, the magician and ventriloquist, accompanied by his two friends, who had been looking on this strange scene, and enjoying the fun, adjourned to the Union Coffee House, in the neighboring corner, and left the crowd endeavoring to induce the beast to speak again, and the drayman embracing the mule in the most filial manner. A BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-At a late public meeting in. New York, says the " Tele graph," the Rev. J. Spaulding dwelt a few moments on the nature and.extent of moral influence. Away among the Alle .glianies," said he, " there is a spring so small that a single ox in a summer's day could drink it dry. It steals its unob trusive way. among the hills ,till it spreads out into the beautiful Ohio. Thence it stretches away a thousand miles, leaving on its bank more than a hundred villages and cities, and many thousand cultivated farms ; and bearing on its bosom more than half a thousand steamboats. Then joining the Mississiripi, it stretches away and away some twelve hundred miles more, till it falls into the great emblem of eternity. It was one of the tributar ies of the ocean, which obedient, only to God, shall roll and roar, till the angel with one foot on the sea and the other on the land, shall lift up his band to heaven and swear that time shall be 'no longer. So with moral influence. It is a rill-La rivulet—a river—an ocean boundless and fathomless as eternity." MEN VS BituTEs.-"Now, gentlemen,', • said a nobleman to his guests, as the le, dies . left the room, "let us understand each other; are we to drink like mhil, or like beasts ?" The guests somewhat indignant, ex elaimed--"Like men . !" , " Then," he replied, " we are going to get jolly drunk, for brutes never drink more than they want." iEr The man everybody likes is geo erally a fool.

SATING FOR OLD AGE.—No one denies that it is wise to make a provision for old age, but we are not all agreed as to the kind of provision it is best to lay in. Certainly we shall want a little money, for a destitute old man is indeed a sorry sight. Yes, save money by all means. But an old man needs just that particu lar kind of strength which men are most apt to waste. Many a foolish young fellow will throw away on a holiday a certain amount of nervous energy, which he will never feel the want of till heis seventy; and then, how much he will want it 1 It is curious but true, that a bottle of champagne at twenty may in tensify the rheumatism at three•score.— It is a fact, that overtasking the eyes at fourteen may necessitate the aid of spectacles at forty, instead of eighty.— We advise our young readers to be saving of health for their old age, for the maxim holds good with regard to health as to money ; waste not, want not. It is the greatest mistake to suppose that any violation of the laws of health can es cape its penalty. Nature forgiyes no sin, no error. She lets off the offender for fifty years sometimes, but she catch es him at last; and inflicts the punish merit just when, just where, just how he feels it most. Save up for old age, but save more than money ; save health save honor, save knowledge, save the recol lection of good deeds and innocent pleas ure, save pure thoughts, save friends, save love. Save rich stores of that kind of wealth which time' cannot diminish, nor death take away. • REV. S. H. TYNG.—This gentleman, formerly rector of the Church of the E piphany in this city, now of St. George's Church, New York,and father of the late lamented Rev. Dudley A, Tyng, was cap tain of a military company ii Boston, before he entered the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Within the present week a son of Dr. Tyng pass ed through' our city as captain of a mili tary company from New York. Ano ther son of Dr. Tyng was a student in the Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church, near Alexandria, when the War broke out at Sumpter, and was obliged to flee from that institution because he was favorable to the Government, and re fused to unite with the Secessionists,who for the time being, controlled the semin ary.—Forney's Press.
