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

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-

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-

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."

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."

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."

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.
WORTH KNOWING.—As "fly time" is
nearly upon us, we may remind our
readers that it is said that if three or
four onions are boiled in a pint of water,
and the liquid is brushed over glasses or
frames, the flies will not light on the
articles washed. This may be used with
out the least apprehension, as•it will not
do the least injury to the frames.
