Ed. Ahuis: On Saturday, June 29, (he
people in tho vicinity of Union School
House, Clackamas county, met for the pur
pose of raising the Stunt and Stripes, and
otherwise manifesting their unalterable de
votion to the Union. The flag was raised
at 2 o'clock, in the presence of perhaps the
largest crowd of men, women, and children
that had ever assembled at that place.
When tho flag was unfurled to the breeze
at the staff's head, tho crowd gave three
hearty cheers for the Union, and three vo
ciferous hurrahs for Mnj. Anderson and his
heroic bund who behaved so gallantly at
Sumter. Tho following gcullciucu were
thcu culled out, each of whom responded
in a short patriotic speech: Dr. P. Welch,
E. V. Slinrrock, X. M. Matlock, and W,
Cupps. The audience manifested its up
provul of what was said by the lively
cheering which followed tho remarks of
ench sMakcr. Everything went off bar
iiionioiisly. The countenance of each indi
vidual plainly bespoke the emotions tlmt
were struggling within. Two or three se
cessionists were present, and no doubt they
felt something like an utiregeneritto sinner
would with tho saints in the courts of
heaven. They were entirely unprepared to
enjoy the society of those urouud them.
No resolutions were adopted; hut 1 have
lofht tho following would have been
jrscd: 'Resolved that Fiddling White-
aker, Jo Lane, and Geo. L. Curry bo no
tified that the people have no further use
for their services, aud there fore they arc
requested to leave the Statu within twenty
days, or suffer as hundreds of loyal Amer
ican citizens in the South have suffered for
expressing sentiments of love for their own
government.' Traitors must be put down,

death his mind and energies rallied some

with those tender words and actions which
only a woman can employ, she asked the
dying statesman if he had any messages to
Stenhen arid Robert. He

-Tins venerable gentleman delivered a
speech at a flag raising nt New Brunswick,
New Jersey, lately. Alluding lo the des
picable courso which had been pursued by
tho rcbtls from tho commencement of these
political convulsions, he said:
"They have plundered our public prop
erty, murdered innocent citizens, and now
arc' endeavoring to cpil a serpent among
the stars and stripes, whoso fangs shall
striko out tho emblems of seven States
from its glorious folds. If a foreign foe
had attempted this, tha nation would have
risen up as ono niuu to uuri uown nic uj
grcssor, and how much worse was it when
the foe came trout within our own
bosom! In fact n more monstrous crimo
against humm rights had never been per-
ictratcd, in tho words ot a u sunguisneu
clergyman, since tho crucifixion or our
Lord and Savior. Ann, in view oi uu
this, what do they ask? They cry put,

The Piiixters Volunteering. It is
mid thnt tho tvnncrnohicnl profession, of

ull the trades, hus turned out tho greatest
uumber of volunteers, os well ns tho most
promiuciit and enthusiastic. This is nothing
more than to bo expected. During the
Mexican war the typographical contribu
tion to tho different regiments was largely
in the preponderance, and printers were
omong the foremost in every fight, and
among tho hist to be distinguished. When
the lust campaign was over, the last battle

o -
respective homes, doffed their faded regi

of tho stirring scenes they had witnessed
the proud columns of that host of gentle
men, ns they wcro boastfully denominated,
and lb! Prince Rupert and his host were
no longer there. They wcro scattered os
the dried leaves of autumn oro beforo the
storm blast of tho coining winter. Thot
nnsnl twang rang out on thut day their
well known was. cry, 'The sword of the
Lord mid of Gideon.'
These Yankees nro a peculiar people;
they arc on industrious thriving, pams-tak-ing
nice of men. Tlio fruillies of these
men grow out of their virtues those stern
virtues winch founded liberty in England,
and baptized it in their own blood upon
Ttimker Hill Iu Ameri -a. They will do so
iigitin if there is a necessity for it. It is
n hard matter to deal with men who do
verily believe that God Almighty ond his
angels encamp round about them. What
ilo thev caro lor Kinjrs. and Lords, and
Presidents? What do they care for earth
ly things ami earthly power? They fully
belicvo they are heirs of the King of Kings.
In the hour of battle they swear to them
selves to stand, like the great Hebrew lead
er, iu tho eh ft or tho rock; tho glory of the
Most High God passes by them, and they
catch a glcnm of its brightness. If you
come in conflict with the purposes of such
men, they will regard duty ns everything,

of the Revolution."
