From Jackson Co. A friend in Jack
ton county writes to us, May 8, ns follows:
" Tho vagabond ruffian class have been
Koistinjr tho flajr of mutiny in Scott's Val
ley and Jacksonville. The disunion flag
wilt raised in the latter place by a band of
which Charley Williams (tho man who
killed Butterfield) is tho leader, nnd who
is now under bonds to answer an indict
ment for murder. The good citizens of the
town tore down tlio treasonable flag ns
soon ns H was discovered, for it was put
iijJ ill tlio niglit.
I am of the opinion that Jeff Davis has
conceived no less an idea than a strike for
empire. His object doubtless is (or was)
to seize upon tho capital and the archives
of the nntion, nnd havo his authority rec
ognized by the powers of tho earth as the
de facto govcrnmont. It certainly is on
set of outrageous desperation and rashness,
hot it will find sympathy in a largo mass
of vagabondism that has nothing to lose
and all to gain by tho weakening or the
breaking down of nil authority or law,
which would givo thera a chanco to follow
their instincts for pillage, plunder, robbery,
nd rapine. It naturally as the breaking
up of the foundations of society always
inspires that class with hope to rise and
commit acts which the criminal law is made
to suppress. Good government, good
laws well executed, and good society, are
n oppression open murderers, robbers,
thieves, and villains of all kinds. The
great question is now to be settled, and it
will be left with the future historian to
cbrorilclo the decision. I don't believe in
the breaking op of a nation in a day. I
don't believe tho American Republic will
ever fail. The pro-slavery onslaught will
repulsed, and its leaders will ultimately
be hang.
' If any of the secession leaders in this
State undertake to organize their banditti,
I m in favor of a big Uniou Vigilance
Committee, with ' Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty' as its chief motto one

ous scoandrcls, and do anything else neces
ry for onr protection and honor. Level

em as they deserve. I f they crowd opon
it will be our duty to fight, and we will

Ciijttuiii Schuyler Hamilton, U. 8. A.,
In a work published soino years ago on
tho American Fluff, says: "Tlio first
colors spoken of in connection with tho
American Revolution, wero significantly
enough culled ' Union Flags.' " Xo ac
count is given of tho devices upon them.
They aro frequently sjiokcn of in the news
papers of 1774.
Tho Connecticut troops fixed upon their
standards oin drums, in 1775, the motto,
" Qui TranitaUt Suithiet,'' in letters of
gold literally " He who transplanted us
hither will support us." This was tho
motto. I-.vcry legiineut was di.itingnishcd
by Its colors blue, orange, &e. On July
IS, 177G, Gen. Israel Putnam unfurled ot
Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Iho joyful
occasion of tho reception In tlmt town of
the Declaration of Independence, n stand
ard bearing this motto on ouo side, " An
appeal to Heaven, " and on tho other " Qui
Translulil, Sustinet." This was flung to
the breeze amid the roar of cannon and the.
shouts of tho peoplo. It was said at that
time, "the Philistines on Bunker Hill
heard the cheers of tho Israelites (Israel
Piittinm), and being fearful, pnraded them
selves in battle array." This flag wns a ted
one, tho signal of defiance or battle since
the days of tho Romans.
In September, 1775, Colonel Moultrie
unfurled a large bluo flag, with crescent In
one corner, lluswastlic lirst American
(lag in South Carolina, and was used nt
the taking of Fort Johnson, on James Isl
and. The crescent is an emblem of sover
eignty. A standard, with a whita ground, a
piuo treo in the middle, nnd tho motto, j
" Appeal to Heaven," was adopted in
177", ns tho fhigof tho Floating Uatteries.
On January 2d, 177(5 the day that
gave iiiriii to mo new American Army
tho flag designated ns "Tho Grent
Union Standard," wns hoisted. This was
tho basis of the National Flag of the pres
ent dny.
In 1 778, was adopted tho standard to
bo used by the Commander-in-Chief of the
American Navy, "being a yellow fifld
with a lively representation of a rattle-
..) I,. Il.n n.l.l.lln ii. Il.n nltitil.ln nf'
nilUIW III HIU iiiiiuui, mu Mivtmiiv vi
striking." Undernenth wero tho words,
Don't trend on me."
The same year tho cruisers of the Colo
ny of Massachusetts hoisted n white flag,
with a preen piuo tree, and the motto,
Appcnl to Hen veil."
June 14th, 1777, Congress passed the
following resolution:
" RrsolvrJ, Tlmt tho flag of the Thir
teen States bo thirteen stripes, nltcrnnto
red nnd white, that the Uniou bo thirteen
tars, white, in n blue field, representing a
new Constitution."
This wns the origin of the National
Flag of tho United States the glorious
"stars nnd stripes which has proudly
waved since that day over many of the
greatest victories of modern times; that
stirs tlio blood of every true-hearted citi
zen whenever ho beholds it floating in the
breeze; that waves in every part of the
world, nnd that is everywhere honored and
respected ou sea ond shore.
Tho nbovc resolution was mode public
September 3d, 1777. According to Col.
Trumbull, the flag mndo in pursuance of it
was first used at tho surrender of I5ur-
oyno, October 17th, of tho same year.
This was a glorious beginning, truly; for
that was one of tho most important victo
ries of the American arms dnring tho Rev
olution. Tiio first clmngo in tne national
colors was directed in tho following enact
ment of Congress, adopted January 13th,
1794:
" Be it enacted, fie., That from and af
ter the 1st day of May, 1795, tho Flag of
the United States be pjtren stripes, alter
nately red and white
that the Union
be
fifteen stars, white, in a blue field."'
This was the Flag of the United States
.birinir the War of 1812-14.
In 1818 the Flag of the United States
was again altered. On the suggestion of j
the Hon. Mr. Wcndover, of the State of

moreover, by tlie plan proposed namely,
tho addition of a star for each new State

The HUM Spirit.
Wiii:ei.ixo (Virginia), May Htli. To
day was strictly observed as a day of fast
lug and prayer. All stores and business
houses wero closed. Patriotic sermons
wero preached in nine out of twelve chur
ches. At the Fourth Street Methodist
Church the stars and stripes hang In grace
ful folds around the pulpit. Rev. Wetley
Smith, pastor of the church, delivered t
very patriotic address. He said ht would
hold no fellowship with traitors. He did
not want a secessionist to sit In Lit church.
If thero was a traitor in his house lie want
ed him to leave. The Government must
bo sustained and rebellion put down. He
quoted tho law of treason, and warned
rebels of what they might expect.
Tho Rev. Sir. Dodge, of the second
Prcsbyteriun church, in an eloquent and
patriotic address, said onr allegiance was
duo to tho Government of tho United
States. Ho prayed that God might sub-
duo the passions of tlio rebels or wipo them
from tho face of the earth. Rev. Mr.
Martin, at tho couclasion of his sermon,
said lie had a father in Eastern Virginia
whom ho dearly loved, but if ho saw him
reach his hand to dishonor the American
flag, he would himself striko down tho Im
pious hand. One compiny of volunteers
was sworn into the United states service
to day, and several more will be sworn in
tomorrow.

A Singular Circcjistanck. The
Marysvillo Democrat says that a friend in
that city received a letter not long ago,
from an acquaintance in tho State of New
York, relating an occurrence of the most
singular character. A man was found
dead in the snow, out In the woods, with
his body lying on his rifle, face downward,
and a bullet-hole ir. his side. It was
thought that he had been murdered.
An inquest had been held, and on exam
ination, tho following facts wero apparent:
He bad shot a squirrel in a beach tree, and
had killed it, for the squirrel was lying
dead at tho root the ball had struck the
tree, and bounded to another, and thenco
came back to the man, striking him in the
side, in his heart, ns wns demonstrated by
post mortem examination. There were
no human tracks in the snow bra long dis
tance arounj, and no evidence whatever
of the man's death bat in the way described,
There wos the print of tho ball on the

Thero Is not a spot or stuin on that banner

Nol No! Look at the resources of the

And tho expenses of maintaining this Gov

Destrittion or tub GosronT Navy

Navy Yard was a most completo
work, by menus of which tho Government
has prevented a very important naval sta
tion, with a splendid dry dock nnd eleven
vessels of war, from fulling luto tho bands
of the secessionists. It was a gigantic un
dertaking most successfully performed;
tho buildings in tho yard, tho ships and
other materials, wero plentifully siqdicd
with combustibles. Tho match was av
plied from tho ships. Thus, by an act of
positive necessity, tho Navy Yard, with
eleven ships of war, was utterly destroyed,
at a loss of not less than $5,000,000.

Tho Major requested those who had not

and livo men did so. Instantly the men
rushed at them with their siilo urms, and
would havo destroyed them on tho spot
but for tho efforts of tho officers aud Mnj.

tho ranks wero broken, the men stripped
the uniforms from tho four cowards, and if
it had not been for Col. Jones, tho abject
wretches would not havo had o mouthful
to cat that entire day.
