I MEDICAL HOOSS, 11 South Frederick St., Baltimore, Maryland. Established in order to afford Sound and Scien- tific Modical Aid, and for the suppression of Quackery. t DOCTOR SMITH TTAS for many years devoted his whole atten- -1 Ution to the treatment of private complaints, in all their varied and complicated forms, His great success in those long standing and diffi- cult cases, such as were formerly considered in- curable, is sufficient to comtnendhim to the pub- lic as worthy of the extensive patronngo which he has received. Within the last eight years, Dr. S. has treatod more than 2V,50U cases of Private Complaints in their different forms and stages ; a practice which nt doubt exceeds that of all the physiciane now advertising in Balti- more, and not a single case is known, where di- rections were strictly followed, and inedicino ta- ken al reasonable time, without effecting a rad- ical and permanent cure; therofore, persons af- flicted with diseases of the above nuture, "no mutter how difficult or long standing the case may bo, would do well to cull on Dr. BAIITII, at his office, No. 11, South Frederick Street. The afflicted should bear in mind that JL/r. S. who is the only regular physician advertising, has for many years devoted his whole attention to the treatment of this class of Diseases. llis medicines urc free from Mercury and all mineral poisons ; put up in neat and compact form, and may bo taken in public or private House, or while travelling, without exposure or hindrance from business, and except in cuses of violent inflammation, nochange of diet is neces- sary. Let the unfortunate bear in mind when afflic- tion overtakes them, that no time should be lost in making application to a competent physician, us they would not onlyobtaiu relief from pain, uvoid mortification through exposure and eludo great constitutional injury, but cnublo their medical assistant to bo moderate in his charges thun be could justly be, where symptoms have bocome confirmed or the disease moro widely difi'usod. The rapid advance of this truly ter- rifying disonse, is sufficient to alarm the boldest heart. When ulceration and discolored Plotches withracking pains, hefrav to the unhappy vic- tim the deadly poison preying upon his vitals, then, "and not till then," do many awake to a full seuso of tneir danger. We ure called upon every few days to cure Chronic Discuses, which were supposed to have been cured years ago, but instead of which, woro only checked, driven into the system by mercu- ry or copavia and therefore seems to ho well but ina longer or shorter time, by some slight cause, break out in its worst and most difficult forms, producing ulcers in the throat, nose or roof of tho mouth, erruptions of the kin f pains or swelling of bones, etc. On account of the num- ber of such which hate lately come under my care, and the immense suffering which a little neglect or improper treatment in the first stages of tho discrse muy cause, Dr. 6niUb thinks it his duty to advise the unfortunate, particularly stranger*, to be careful that they ore not decei ved by false advertisements of boasting quack* who make promises which could not be fulfilled even by the most experienced physicians. By uoglect or improper treatment, the patient is of- ten rcducaJ to a state which mnkea the ease ex- tremely difficult to cure. Therefore he should be aware of the importance of consultinga skill- ful physician in the early stage of the disease. CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILLITY- Young men ! beware ol tho pernicious indul gewco and lmost fatal injury you inflict upon your constitutions, by evil examples and the morbid influence of the passions. How many young persons do we daily behold, whose countenances and debilitated constitutions depict disease arising from that horrible and de- ; vustatiug vice.

You who huvo brought this affliction upon yourselves, why embrace the secret to your hearts and vainly attempt to euro yourselves, instead of making immediate application to a skillfull physician, who in u short time, would restore you to perfect health and save you from exposure which the fatal consequences rendor it cnvitablo. Dr. Smith gives his special attention to the tron/inent of this dostructivo malady. Pa- tients can he cured at homo by addressing a lot- I ter to Dr. Smith, describing symptoms, and re- I coive medicine securely packed from observation forwarded by express or otherwise to any part of the country.

"I will not fire upon that flag So glorious and so fair ; I will not harm the hand that bears The immortal standard there. "I will not fire upon that flag," The rainbow of the skies Hath given her glory all to thee, And bathed thee in her dyes. "I will not fire upon that flag," Streaked with tho morning light? While the vestal vault of heaven Lends thee her orbs of night. That flag I its glorious stars and stripes A father's blessings bear? And with the rustling of its folds Is blent a mother's prayer. Deneath the shadow of thy folds I long once more to turn? As wings the dove its homeward flight Before the impending storm. Bright vision of my youthful days? Banner of heavenly dyes? Thy radiant glories o'er me shod, And fix my dying eyes. Heaven preserve that gallant flag, That banner of the free? Come weal or woe, what ill betide, "Iwill not fire on thee." ° ?A young soldier in Beauregard's army, I named Ilicks, of Baltimore, was recently shot for declaring that he would not fire upon the American flag.

THE VISION OF WASHINGTON Tho following description is related by Anthony fhcrman, a gentleman of niotty years, who had it from tbc old General himself. The darkest period of the American revolution was in the year 1777. when Washington, after dreadful reverses, retired to Valley Forge, to en- camp during tho winter. Often did I see the tears of distress oourse down the checks of the loved commander, when he reflected on the extreme sufferings of bis brave soldiers. Washington had the habit of praying to God for help and prosperity. The assistance of Jehovah alone he knew well would avail. A certain day Washington spent by him- self alone in bis chamber, when he came he looked unusually pallid. Theo | he related as follows : "As I sat this afternoon writing, and my mind was deeply weighed down with trouble, I discovered opposite me a most beautiful female form. I was much surprised, for I had given most peremp- tory orders not to be disturbed by any one. I could not, on the moment, find words to inquire of this unlocked for visitor. Three or four times I inquired without receiving an answer. She only elevated her eyes a little. I now felt a most extraordinary sensation through- out my whole body. I would have risen up, but the staring of my mysterious visitor made me displeased with her. I attempted again to address her, but my tongue was tied. A certain unknown, ' mysterious, irresistible power overpow- ered me. I was unable to do anythiog more than to stare at the apparition.? By degrees the room booarac filled with a remarkable light; the image herself became luminous and bright. I now bad the feeling of a dying person. I could not think, reflect or move. lam only conscious of this fact chat I looked sternly on the vision. Here I heard the voice saying, 'Son of the Republic look and learn,' at the same time the figure (" UIIUM. and Sgiegragti. CUMBERLAND, MD., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1861. stretched out her arm and poiuted her fluger eastward Transparent clouds a- rose in the distance; and these lifting themselves, there was formed a most as- tonishing figure boforo n.e. Before ine there 6pread all tho countries of Eu- rope, Asia, Africa and America. Be- tween Europe and America I saw tre- mendous waves brandishing ; and also bctwegu America aud Asia. Again the voice repeated, 'Son of the Republic look and learn.' Instantly I beheld a darksome image as of an angel poising between Europe and America. He dip- ped water with both hands, and with his right hand he poured it upon A \u25a0ueriea, aud with his left hand upon Eu- rope. In a moment black clouds arose from both countries, which met half way upon the Atlantic. Here they tarried awhile, and then moved westward, and then covered the terra firma of Ameri- ca. Livid lightning flashed through the dark clouds. I heard the deep groan- ings of the American people. Again the angel dipped and sprinkled water as before ; then the dark clouds receded and sank into the ocean. Now for the third time I heard the voice, 'Son of tho Republic, look up and learn.' I looked up and saw in Amer- ica populous towns and cities, and im- provements spreading from tho border of the Atlantic to the coast of the Pa- cifio. Upon this the angel turned to- wards tho South ; and I saw a horrid grizzly spectre, approaching from Af- rica to our couulry. It moved slowly and heavily over our towns and lands/ The population now arose for war aud paraded in battle array, one part agaiust the other. As I contemplated this scene, I discovered an angel of light, and on his head he had a glorious crown, with the word UNION inscribed. In his hand he bore the American banner and ciied out, 'llenicmhcr you are brethren.' Im- mediately the armed hosts threw down 'hair weapons, became friends and mar- shalled under the Star-Spangled Banner. Again I heard the mysterious sound, 'Son of the Republic, tho second dan- ger has passed over, look up and learn.' And now I saw towns and cities, and fields increasing in numbers until the whole laud was thickly covered from the Atlantic to tho Pacific, and tho people wero as stars of the firmament aud sand of the sea shore?i luumerahle. Again I heard, 'Son of tho Republic, tho end of one century is nppronching, look up nnd learn.' Upon this the dark angel set a trumpet to his mouth nnd blasted thrice and dipped water with his bands and poured it on Asia. Europe and Af- rica. Now my eyes beheld a most ter- rible scene. From each of these coun- rOSe black t"- /y cii.uua united in (ine great mass, through these spread lurid lightning, and I beheld im- mense legions of armed multitudes, marching and sailing towards America, i which was goon enveloped in the black clouds. And now I beheld bow three I immense armies wasted our towns and > our cities. And now I heart* the thun- j dcr of cannon, the furiou clash of! swords, and the war shouts if millions encountered in deadly strife I again heard the mysterious sound,' Son of the Republic, look and learn,' After this the dark angel pave auotheilnud long, and fearful blast Now sudtuuly broke forth and dispersed the blackilouds from over the American country. After this I saw tho angl with the glorious crown inscribed 'lnion,' de- scending from heaven accotpanied by legions of glorified spirits, hviug in ono i hand a sword and in the oter the Star Spangled Banner. And thsu all as- sociated with the American eople who were nearly overwhelmed, b uow were inspired with new courage ad renewed the baitlo array. Now agaiiaraid the din of battle, I heard the vole, 'Son of the Republic, look up and leu.' After the report of this voice, thelfrk angel, for the last time, dipped ater and sprinkled it on the Americanontinent, when the dark clouds, wittitheir ar- mies rolled back instantly, hving the victory to the Americans. T>n I saw villages, towns and cities andimprove- ments arise like magic, whilohe angel of light planted the Star Spaded Ban- ner amid the vast uiultitudesif people and cried, 'As long as the ati of hea The Duke of Brissao adopted estrange but successful devioe in putting down duelling in his regiment. He pretended to countenance the proceeding, but re- quested that his officers, before fighting, which they did almost every day, would report the circumstance to bira. They agreed to this joyfully. Next day two made their appearance. The Duke in- quired tho cause ot the quarrel As i usual, it was a mere matter of foolish ' contradiction. 'Certainly it is worth while fighting for such a matter,' ob- served the duke. And he gave them j their conge. Next morning, at parade, I the two officers were present. i 'What!' said the duke; 'the affair had no results, then ?' veu endure and the dews faUpon the earth so long sha'l this Rablio en- dure.' And while he took nd set it upon the Star Spangled Boer, the vast multitude bending und it, uni- tedly cried out, 'Amen.' I* by de- grees the vision vanished, ai nothing but the mysterious and verbeautiful female figure, who once sa' 'Son of the Republic, what tbou haseen it is I thus to be expounded. see great 'Excuse, me, colonel,' said one, hold- ing up his arm in a scarf, T received a sword-wound.' and dangerous calamities wi:orac over this Republic ; the second is the great- est. When this is overcome, then the whole world cannot couquer it. Now let every citizen of this Republic learn to serve God, his fatherland and the blessed Union.' With these words the image disappeared. I arose from my chair with the full conviction that this was a revelation to me of the birth of this Republic, its progress and its va- ried destinies." All this history, says Mr. Sherman, I myself heard from the mouth of General Washington.? Lancaster (Ohio) Ga- zette. The First Secessionist. 'Pooh / a scratch. And a question of etiquette, too / You must fight it out.' So the officers had to fight again, and one of them received a wound that kept him confined three weeks to his bed.? In the interval, several others applied for permission to fight, but the duke would not grant it; they must wait, be said, till the first quarrel was settled. One day he met the wounded officer taking fresh air, and leaning on the arm of a friend. 'What/' he said, 'on foot again? Capital / To-morrow you can fight a- gain, and let this affair be finished with.' The two officers met again, and both fell dead. The duke then summoned before him those who bad requested per- mission to fight, and be said he would grant them their wish, but it must be to only two at a time, and in each case ho was determined to see tho quarrel settled as in the instance that bad just occurred. Tho lesson had its effect.? The duke received no more requests for permission to fight. Among the decorated envelopes which have sprung up in such great variety since the attack of the insurrectionists upon Fort Numter.is one which is adorn- ed with the first secessionist. The dark color of the figure might cause it to be taken, by a casual observer, for the likeness of some negro who had seceded from the field gang of a Southern mas- ter. But a closer inspection discovers the horns, the vast bat like wings, the barb-pointed tail and the oloven foot, which medioval imagination assigned to tbc arch enemy of mankind. It is in verity Sathanis himself ; and never was there a truer designation of him. He it was who first robciled against the be- neficent rule of right, because it re- strained his evil will and repressed his had ambition. He it was who first plotted and conspired, and drew the third part of heaven after him?his motive be- ing merely that 'disappointment' which one of his distinguished emulators on this planet and in these limes with ex- quisite simplicity and candor, owned was at the bottom of the secession insurrec- tion. The secessionists prate of 'free- dom ;' hut the sort of freedom for which they have defied the Constitution and the Government is just that freedom which he sought when ho vainly rose against the Omnipotent. This Milton saw, sturdy republican though he was, aud so he makes the ' fallen cherub' say, when he first shows him prono upon the flaming floor of Hell?- "Here at least We shall bo free ; the Almightv bath not built Hero for his envy ; will not drive us hence ; Here wo may reign secure ; and in my choice To reign is worth nmbition, though in hell. Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven." i THE "Peaoo" Party in Maryland seems to be very badly seconded in its benevolent efforts by the Confederate soldiery that is invading Kentucky.? The Union mon of the latter asked for peace, but Gen. Polk gave them the sword, while the Tennessee journals con- fess that no other policy was ever thought of. The Louisville Denioorat states the caso in a few words. It says : \u25a0 'lt is no longer peace that is to he sought in Kentucky, but safety. It is too late to ask for peace. The fiat has gone forth declaring that Kentucky shall be coerced into the Southern Confederacy ; that there never was any other intention. The declaration is accompanied by the act of invasion." Ode to Negro Liberty. The pastor of the church in Dayton, Ohio, where Vallandingham attends, the other day gave out the beautiful hymn; My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Whereupon, Vallandingham wrote the pastor a most scurrilous letter, roundly abusing him for introducing an "odo to negro liberty" into religious exercises." A worthy minister of Cleveland a day or two since, handed a revolver to a captain of one of the city companies, with the following remark : "Ifyou meet a secessionist and have time, pray for the uufortunate mau's soul ; but if you haven't time for pray- ing, don't fail to shoot him /" This is the very spirit of secession. Tho Uniou and its Government have been bcncficcnco itself to tho South. They have given it the very strength that, now makes them formidable Rut in this beneficent Uniou they last Au- tumn ceased to rule ; and therefore it is that they now rebel agaiust it, and seek ' ? destroy it, that they may mako a po- litical li.ii in which they maybe su- preme If they imld go slone, they might well be left to their own destruc- tion, hut like their prototype, they seek by their lying arts to draw the third part of tho heaven they would leave after them. I "THE advice nearest to my heart," says Madison, "and deepest in my con- victions, is, that the Union of the States be cherished and perpetuated. Let the open enemy to it be regarded as a Pan- dora with her bo.r nn""<d n- j. , ?? irninpfi -- * fin--, uud the dis- fc . one as the serpent creeping with deadly wiles into Paradise." This is no fanciful resemblance. The groat philosophical critic of modern Eng- lish literature, Coleridge saw it. He says, in one of his criticisms upon the 'Parauisc Lost,' 'The character of Sa- . tau is pride and sensual indulgence 6nd injj in itself the sole motive of action i It is the character so often seen in litt.e upon the. political stage.' 'Milton has marked in his Satan the intense selfishness, the alcohol of ego- tism, which would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven.' It is the alcohol of egotism in the leaders at the South combined with another sort of alcohol in the led, that has made secession do- sirable and in a measure possiblo to them. There is no holier, wiser motive in this insurrection, which is a feeble imitation of that great one instigated by "the first secessionist."? N. Y. World, 1 ' 1 ii mm How to Stop Duelling.

How a man feels when in battle is a question that our volunteers have doubt- less frequently asked themselves. We recently stumbled upon a volunteer on furlough, who first smelt powder at Bull Run. During an hour's chat with him he gave us a very good general idea of the way in whioh a man feels when under an enemy's gun. Our friend didn't claim to be especially oonrageous. He placed due value upon the integrity of the American eagle, but enlisted mainly beoause he had no other employment at the time. He did camp duty faithfully, and endured the hardships of long marches without auy special grumbling. That ho dreaded to confront the enemy he freely admits. While willing at any time to kiok a bigger man than himself under justifi- able provocation, he disliked the idea of the sudden sensation imparted by a bayo- net thrust in the abdomen, while only second to this was bis horror of being cut down with a riflle ball like on unsusr pectiug squirrel. When his regiment was drawn up in line, he admits his teeth chattered and bis knee pans rat- tled like a pot-closet in a hurricane. Many of his comrades were similarly affected, and somo of them would have laid down had they dared to do so. When the first volley had been inter- changed, our friend informs us, every trace of these feelings passed away from him. A reaction took place and he be- came almost savage from excitement. Balls whistled all about him, and a cannon ball but in half a oompanion at his side. Anothci was struck by some explosive that spattered the brains over the clothes of our informant, but, so far from intimidating, all these things nerved up his resolution. The hitherto quaking civilian in half an hour became a veteran. Ilis record shows that he bayoneted two of his rebel enemies and discharged eight rounds of his piece with as decisive an aim BB though he bad selected a tur- key for his mark. Could the entire line of an army come at the same time into collision, ho says there wonld be no run- ning exoept after hopeless defeat. The men who played the runaway at Bull ltun were men who had not partici- pated in the action to any extent and who became panie stricken where, if once smelling powder in the manner above described, they would have been abundantly victorious. In the roar of musketry and the thundering discharge of artillery there is music that banishes oven innate cowardice. The sight of men struggling together, the clash of sabres, the tramp of cavalry, the r... stained grass of tbn batt!e-fie''t r# and the coming charge of the enemy dimly visi- ble through the battle smoke?all theae, says our informant, dispel every partiole of fear, and the veriest eoward in the ranks perhaps becomes the most tiger like. At the battle of Ball Run the chaplain of ono of the regiments, a man of small stature and delicate frame, per- sonally eut down two six feet grenadiers in single combat. J 3 If these things are so?and we incline £ t0 tWnk they are?the best cure for cow- ie ardicc is to crowd a man into a fight and >- there koep him. Tho fugitives from Bull Hun were men who imbibed panio before it could have reached them.?Philadti- phi- American.

tDOCTOR SMITH
TTAS for many years devoted his whole atten--1 Ution to the treatment of private complaints,in all their varied and complicated forms, Hisgreat success in those long standing and diffi-cult cases, such as were formerly considered in-curable, is sufficient to comtnendhim to the pub-lic as worthy of the extensive patronngo whichhe has received. Within the last eight years,Dr. S. has treatod more than 2V,50U cases ofPrivate Complaints in their different forms andstages ; a practice which nt doubt exceeds thatof all the physiciane now advertising in Balti-more, and not a single case is known, where di-rections were strictly followed, and inedicino ta-
ken al reasonable time, without effecting a rad-ical and permanent cure; therofore, persons af-flicted with diseases of the above nuture, "nomutter how difficult or long standing the casemay bo, would do well to cull on Dr. BAIITII,at his office, No. 11, South Frederick Street.
The afflicted should bear in mind that JL/r. S.who is the only regular physician advertising,has for many years devoted his whole attentionto the treatment of this class of Diseases.
llis medicines urc free from Mercury and allmineral poisons ; put up in neat and compactform, and may bo taken in public or privateHouse, or while travelling, without exposure orhindrance from business, and except in cuses ofviolent inflammation, nochange of diet is neces-sary.
Let the unfortunate bear in mind when afflic-tion overtakes them, that no time should be lostin making application to a competent physician,us they would not onlyobtaiu relief from pain,uvoid mortification through exposure and eludogreat constitutional injury, but cnublo theirmedical assistant to bo moderate in his chargesthun be could justly be, where symptoms havebocome confirmed or the disease moro widelydifi'usod. The rapid advance of this truly ter-
rifying disonse, is sufficient to alarm the boldestheart. When ulceration and discolored Plotcheswithracking pains, hefrav to the unhappy vic-tim the deadly poison preying upon his vitals,then, "and not till then," do many awake to afull seuso of tneir danger.

break out in its worst and most difficult forms,
producing ulcers in the throat, nose or roof oftho mouth, erruptions of the kinf pains orswelling of bones, etc. On account of the num-ber of such which hate lately come under mycare, and the immense suffering which a littleneglect or improper treatment in the first stagesof tho discrse muy cause, Dr. 6niUb thinks ithis duty to advise the unfortunate, particularlystranger*, to be careful that they ore not deceived by false advertisements of boasting quack*who make promises which could not be fulfilledeven by the most experienced physicians. Byuoglect or improper treatment, the patient is of-ten rcducaJ to a state which mnkea the ease ex-tremely difficult to cure. Therefore he shouldbe aware of the importance of consultinga skill-ful physician in the early stage of the disease.

poetical."I Will not Fire Upon that Flag '
BY A. JONES, U. S. A.
"I will not fire upon that flagSo glorious and so fair ;
I will not harm the hand that bearsThe immortal standard there.
"I will not fire upon that flag,"The rainbow of the skies
Hath given her glory all to thee,And bathed thee in her dyes.
"I will not fire upon that flag,"Streaked with tho morning light?
While the vestal vault of heavenLends thee her orbs of night.
That flag I its glorious stars and stripesA father's blessings bear?
And with the rustling of its foldsIs blent a mother's prayer.
Deneath the shadow of thy foldsIlong once more to turn?
As wings the dove its homeward flightBefore the impending storm.
Bright vision of my youthful days?Banner of heavenly dyes?
Thy radiant glories o'er me shod,And fix my dying eyes.
Heaven preserve that gallant flag,That banner of the free?
Come weal or woe, what ill betide,"Iwill not fire on thee."
°?A young soldier in Beauregard's army,I named Ilicks, of Baltimore, was recentlyshot for declaring that he would not fireupon the American flag.

Miflcfliniieaus.THE VISION OF WASHINGTON
Tho following description is relatedby Anthony fhcrman, a gentleman ofniotty years, who had it from tbc oldGeneral himself. The darkest period ofthe American revolution was in the year1777. when Washington, after dreadfulreverses, retired to Valley Forge, to en-
camp during tho winter. Often did Isee the tears of distress oourse down thechecks of the loved commander, whenhe reflected on the extreme sufferings ofbis brave soldiers. Washington had thehabit of praying to God for help andprosperity. The assistance of Jehovahalone he knew well would avail. Acertain day Washington spent by him-self alone in bis chamber, when hecame he looked unusually pallid. Theo |he related as follows :
"As I sat this afternoon writing, andmy mind was deeply weighed down withtrouble, Idiscovered opposite me a most
beautiful female form. I was muchsurprised, for Ihad given most peremp-tory orders not to be disturbed by anyone. Icould not, on the moment, findwords to inquire of this unlocked forvisitor. Three or four times I inquiredwithout receiving an answer. She onlyelevated her eyes a little. I now felt a
most extraordinary sensation through-out my whole body. Iwould have risenup, but the staring of my mysteriousvisitor made me displeased with her. Iattempted again to address her, but mytongue was tied. A certain unknown,
' mysterious, irresistible power overpow-ered me. I was unable to do anythiogmore than to stare at the apparition.?By degrees the room booarac filled witha remarkable light; the image herselfbecame luminous and bright. I now
bad the feeling of a dying person. Icould not think, reflect or move. lamonly conscious of this fact chat I lookedsternly on the vision. Here I heard thevoice saying, 'Son of the Republic lookand learn,' at the same time the figure

stretched out her arm and poiuted herfluger eastward Transparent clouds a-
rose in the distance; and these liftingthemselves, there was formed a most as-
tonishing figure boforo n.e. Before ine
there 6pread all tho countries of Eu-rope, Asia, Africa and America. Be-tween Europe and America I saw tre-
mendous waves brandishing ; and alsobctwegu America aud Asia. Again thevoice repeated, 'Son of the Republiclook and learn.' Instantly I beheld a
darksome image as of an angel poisingbetween Europe and America. He dip-ped water with both hands, and withhis right hand he poured it upon A\u25a0ueriea, aud with his left hand upon Eu-rope. In a moment black clouds arose
from both countries, which met half wayupon the Atlantic. Here they tarriedawhile, and then moved westward, andthen covered the terra firma of Ameri-ca. Livid lightning flashed through thedark clouds. I heard the deep groan-ings of the American people. Againthe angel dipped and sprinkled water as
before ; then the dark clouds recededand sank into the ocean.
Now for the third time I heard thevoice, 'Son of tho Republic, look up andlearn.' I looked up and saw in Amer-ica populous towns and cities, and im-provements spreading from tho borderof the Atlantic to the coast of the Pa-cifio. Upon this the angel turned to-
wards tho South ; and I saw a horridgrizzly spectre, approaching from Af-rica to our couulry. It moved slowlyand heavily over our towns and lands/The population now arose for war audparaded in battle array, one part agaiustthe other. As I contemplated this scene,I discovered an angel of light, and onhis head he had a glorious crown, withthe word UNION inscribed. In his handhe bore the American banner and ciiedout, 'llenicmhcr you are brethren.' Im-mediately the armed hosts threw down'hair weapons, became friends and mar-shalled under the Star-Spangled Banner.Again I heard the mysterious sound,'Son of the Republic, tho second dan-ger has passed over, look up and learn.'And now I saw towns and cities, andfields increasing in numbers until thewhole laud was thickly covered from theAtlantic to tho Pacific, and tho peoplewero as stars of the firmament aud sandof the sea shore?i luumerahle. AgainI heard, 'Son of tho Republic, tho endof one century is nppronching, look upnnd learn.' Upon this the dark angelset a trumpet to his mouth nnd blastedthrice and dipped water with his bandsand poured it on Asia. Europe and Af-rica. Now my eyes beheld a most ter-rible scene. From each of these coun-
rOSe black t"- /y cii.uuaunited in (ine great mass, through thesespread lurid lightning, and I beheld im-mense legions of armed multitudes,marching and sailing towards America, iwhich was goon enveloped in the blackclouds. And now I beheld bow three
I immense armies wasted our towns and >
our cities. And now I heart* the thun- jdcr of cannon, the furiou clash of!swords, and the war shouts if millionsencountered in deadly strife I againheard the mysterious sound,' Son of theRepublic, look and learn,' After thisthe dark angel pave auotheilnud long,and fearful blast Now sudtuuly brokeforth and dispersed the blackilouds fromover the American country.
After this Isaw tho angl with theglorious crown inscribed 'lnion,' de-scending from heaven accotpanied bylegions of glorified spirits, hviug in ono
i hand a sword and in the oter the StarSpangled Banner. And thsu all as-sociated with the American eople whowere nearly overwhelmed, b uow wereinspired with new courage ad renewedthe baitlo array. Now agaiiaraid thedin of battle, I heard the vole, 'Son ofthe Republic, look up and leu.' Afterthe report of this voice, thelfrk angel,for the last time, dipped ater andsprinkled it on the Americanontinent,when the dark clouds, wittitheir ar-mies rolled back instantly, hving thevictory to the Americans. T>n I sawvillages, towns and cities andimprove-ments arise like magic, whilohe angelof light planted the Star Spaded Ban-ner amid the vast uiultitudesif peopleand cried, 'As long as the ati of hea
The Duke of Brissao adopted estrangebut successful devioe in putting downduelling in his regiment. He pretendedto countenance the proceeding, but re-quested that his officers, before fighting,which they did almost every day, wouldreport the circumstance to bira. Theyagreed to this joyfully. Next day twomade their appearance. The Duke in-quired tho cause ot the quarrel As iusual, it was a mere matter of foolish 'contradiction. 'Certainly it is worthwhile fighting for such a matter,' ob-served the duke. And he gave them jtheir conge. Next morning, at parade, Ithe two officers were present. i

Nowlet every citizen of this Republic learnto serve God, his fatherland and theblessed Union.' With these words theimage disappeared. I arose from mychair with the full conviction that thiswas a revelation to me of the birth ofthis Republic, its progress and its va-ried destinies."
All this history, says Mr. Sherman, Imyself heard from the mouth of GeneralWashington.? Lancaster (Ohio) Ga-zette.
The First Secessionist.
'Pooh / a scratch. And a questionof etiquette, too / You must fight itout.'
So the officers had to fight again, andone of them received a wound that kepthim confined three weeks to his bed.?In the interval, several others appliedfor permission to fight, but the dukewould not grant it; they must wait,be said, till the first quarrel was settled.
One day he met the wounded officertaking fresh air, and leaning on the armof a friend.
'What/' he said, 'on foot again?Capital / To-morrow you can fight a-
gain, and let this affair be finished with.'The two officers met again, and both
fell dead. The duke then summonedbefore him those who bad requested per-mission to fight, and be said he wouldgrant them their wish, but it must beto only two at a time, and in each case
ho was determined to see tho quarrelsettled as in the instance that bad justoccurred. Tho lesson had its effect.?The duke received no more requests forpermission to fight.
Among the decorated envelopes whichhave sprung up in such great varietysince the attack of the insurrectionistsupon Fort Numter.is one which is adorn-ed with the first secessionist. The darkcolor of the figure might cause it to betaken, by a casual observer, for thelikeness of some negro who had secededfrom the field gang of a Southern mas-
ter. But a closer inspection discoversthe horns, the vast bat like wings, thebarb-pointed tail and the oloven foot,which medioval imagination assigned to
tbc arch enemy of mankind. It is inverity Sathanis himself ; and never was
there a truer designation of him. Heit was who first robciled against the be-neficent rule of right, because it re-strained his evil will and repressed hishad ambition. He it was who firstplotted and conspired, and drew the thirdpart of heaven after him?his motive be-ing merely that 'disappointment' whichone of his distinguished emulators onthis planet and in these limes with ex-
quisite simplicity and candor, owned wasat the bottom of the secession insurrec-tion. The secessionists prate of 'free-dom ;' hut the sort of freedom for whichthey have defied the Constitution andthe Government is just that freedomwhich he sought when ho vainly rose
against the Omnipotent. This Miltonsaw, sturdy republican though he was,aud so he makes the ' fallen cherub'say, when he first shows him prono uponthe flaming floor of Hell?-
"Here at leastWe shall bo free ; the Almightv bath not
builtHero for his envy ; will not drive us hence ;Here wo may reign secure ; and in my choiceTo reign is worth nmbition, though in hell.Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven." i
THE "Peaoo" Party in Marylandseems to be very badly seconded in itsbenevolent efforts by the Confederatesoldiery that is invading Kentucky.?The Union mon of the latter asked forpeace, but Gen. Polk gave them thesword, while the Tennessee journals con-fess that no other policy was ever thoughtof.
The Louisville Denioorat states thecaso in a few words. It says :
\u25a0 'lt is no longer peace that is to hesought in Kentucky, but safety. It is toolate to ask for peace. The fiat has goneforth declaring that Kentucky shall becoerced into the Southern Confederacy ;that there never was any other intention.The declaration is accompanied by theact of invasion."
Ode to Negro Liberty.
The pastor of the church in Dayton,Ohio, where Vallandingham attends,the other day gave out the beautifulhymn;
My country, 'tis of thee,Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.Whereupon, Vallandingham wrote
the pastor a most scurrilous letter,roundly abusing him for introducing an"odo to negro liberty" into religiousexercises."
A worthy minister of Cleveland a dayor two since, handed a revolver to acaptain of one of the city companies,with the following remark :
"Ifyou meet a secessionist and havetime, pray for the uufortunate mau'ssoul ; but if you haven't time for pray-ing, don't fail to shoot him /"
This is the very spirit of secession.Tho Uniou and its Government havebeen bcncficcnco itself to tho South.They have given it the very strengththat, now makes them formidable Rutin this beneficent Uniou they last Au-tumn ceased to rule ; and therefore it isthat they now rebel agaiust it, and seek' ? destroy it, that they may mako a po-litical li.ii in which they maybe su-preme If they imld go slone, theymight well be left to their own destruc-tion, hut like their prototype, they seekby their lying arts to draw the thirdpart of tho heaven they would leaveafter them. I

This is no fanciful resemblance. Thegroat philosophical critic of modern Eng-lish literature, Coleridge saw it. Hesays, in one of his criticisms upon the'Parauisc Lost,' 'The character of Sa-
. tau is pride and sensual indulgence 6ndinjj in itself the sole motive of action
i It is the character so often seen in litt.eupon the. political stage.'
'Milton has marked in his Satan theintense selfishness, the alcohol of ego-tism, which would rather reign in hellthan serve in heaven.' It is the alcoholof egotism in the leaders at the Southcombined with another sort of alcoholin the led, that has made secession do-sirable and in a measure possiblo tothem. There is no holier, wiser motivein this insurrection, which is a feebleimitation of that great one instigated by"the first secessionist."? N. Y. World,

NUMBER 44.How a Han Feels under Fire.How a man feels when in battle is a
question that our volunteers have doubt-less frequently asked themselves. Werecently stumbled upon a volunteer onfurlough, who first smelt powder at BullRun. During an hour's chat with himhe gave us a very good general idea ofthe way in whioh a man feels when underan enemy's gun. Our friend didn'tclaim to be especially oonrageous. Heplaced due value upon the integrity ofthe American eagle, but enlisted mainlybeoause he had no other employment atthe time. He did camp duty faithfully,and endured the hardships of longmarches without auy special grumbling.That ho dreaded to confront the enemyhe freely admits.
While willing at any time to kiok abigger man than himself under justifi-able provocation, he disliked the idea ofthe sudden sensation imparted by a bayo-net thrust in the abdomen, while onlysecond to this was bis horror of beingcut down with a riflle ball like on unsusrpectiug squirrel. When his regimentwas drawn up in line, he admits histeeth chattered and bis knee pans rat-tled like a pot-closet in a hurricane.Many of his comrades were similarlyaffected, and somo of them would havelaid down had they dared to do so.When the first volley had been inter-changed, our friend informs us, everytrace of these feelings passed away fromhim. A reaction took place and he be-came almost savage from excitement.
Balls whistled all about him, and a
cannon ball but in half a oompanion athis side. Anothci was struck by someexplosive that spattered the brains overthe clothes of our informant, but, sofar from intimidating, all these thingsnerved up his resolution. The hithertoquaking civilian in half an hour becamea veteran.
Ilis record shows that he bayonetedtwo of his rebel enemies and dischargedeight rounds of his piece with as decisivean aim BB though he bad selected a tur-key for his mark.
