The Confederate ITiag.
To the Editor of the Chariceton Mercury;
It is natural to every people to seek sonic
visible embodiment of their national idea to
which their allections may become strongly
attached. The national idea of Great Brit
ain, for example, is that of monarchy as dis
tinctive of the nature of her government, and
the Briton’s affections arc powerfully drawn
towards the King or Queen in the incarnation
of that idea. Under our form of government,
the idea of country is predominant, and the
affections of the people are warmly attached
to the flag, as the representative ot that idea
—the symool of the country’s greatness and
glory. It is evident, therefore, that in such a
country as ours, the Hag ought to bo as desig
native as possible, in regard to historical as
sociations and the sensible analogies it con
veys. The flag of S.*uth Carolina, for in
stance, is complete in these two elements of
a national ensign. The crcsi-nt combines
both. It represcits the individuality of the
State, and. bj analogy, suggests the idea of
growing power and brightness. At tho same
t me it perpetuates the recollection of colonial
existence and the success of the revolutiona
ry struggle. The palmetto tree embodies our
grand historical associations. Now, die flag
of the Confederate States al.-o possesses b th
these requisites of the ensign of a country;
and the popular appellations applied to it
ought to represent them both. The stars
suggest obvious historical associations. Their
arrangement in a circle symbolizes tho per
fectiou and pnrntanence of union between the
S ates, and the fact that no Stale is political
ly superior to any other. The ensign may,
therefore, v ry properly be designated iu
popular phrase as the Star Circled Banner.
The broad bands, by analogy, suggest the
political, social and fraternal sympathy exist
ing between the Southern States, in contrast
with the want of such sympathy between
them and their former confcdera’es of the
North. The breadth of the bands ami their
threefold form, represents the strength and
the permanence of the cordial union subsist-1
ing between the Confederate States. “A
threefold cord,” says the wise m in, “is not
quickly broken.” The flag may. therefore,
with great beauty and propriety, be popularly
designated as the Stars and Bands. Is not
this altogether a better and more designative
appellation than Stars and Bars? Apart

THE STAR CIRCLED BANNER.
BY A LADY O.*’ MARIETTA.
The Siar Circled Banner
Yes, let tb it be the name,
That will live in history’s
Bright pages of fame ;
The bars we reject,
The stripes will not bear,
Bat g ve to the hirelings
As their only s’ are,
In our Star Circled Banner,
That is destined to wave,
In victory and triumph
O'er the South of the brave!
Ujion its bright folds
Never suffer a stain,
Unavenged by the bl< o-l
01 the insolent i’ue ;
Let il. wave high in battle
And ours be the prayer!
That unsullied its azure
And Stars may remain.
In defence of our banner
() ic Hero han died,
But nut ’till the wretch who assailed,
Had met his just fate
From the baud of the brave,
Ami pastel on Eternity’s dark tide.
The memory of Jackson,
'1 he true and the brave 1
Will in our hearts
Be, forever embalmed,
And history will fail not
To record the bright name,
Os him, who—in our struggle
F.iled the first .Martyr’s grave.
Star Circled Banner
0! glorious the sight,
To know that you wave
In the cause of the right,
No hirelings, nor minions,
Arc to fight ncat.li your blue,
Nor stars, but hearts
That are brave, firm, and true !
One Star on our banner
First gave tho glad sign,
That we would still free
And unfettered remain,
Then more were added
’Til eleven we see,
Fixed, firm, and immovable,
For ever t> shine!
Yes, the Star Circled Banner,
Three cheers ! for the name,
And thanks to tho one
Who invented the same,
And long may this Emblem
Os liberty wave,
I.i glory and triumph
O’er tho homes of tho brave!

Our citizens inexperienced in the battle
field, will find the most terrible mom* nt jus.
before the battle begins. A . soldier in his
narration of personal adventures in the Mex
ican war, gives eonie interesting items on this
head in his description of the battle of Palo
Ait.», the opening battle of the war:—
When all was ready both armies st >od itill
for about tw'enty minutes, each waiting for the
other to begin the work, ond during this time
1 did not see a single man of tlicenemy move
—triey stood like statutes.
We also remained quiet, with but two ex
ceptions—Gon.’Taylor, followed by his staff
rode from left to right at a slow pace, with Lis
leg thrown over his saddle like a woman ridi ig
As lie passed each regiment he spoke words
of encouragement. I know not what he said
to the others, but when became up to where
we stood, he looked steadily at us-I suppose
to see what effect the n >vel circumstances in
which wo were placed, had upeii Us, and as ho
gazed, he said :
The bayonets, my hardy cocks—the bayonet
is the tinny
The other occasion was that of Lieutenant
Blake, of the Engineers, who volunteered to
gallop along the enemy's line in front of both
armies, and count theirguns-and so close did
he go that he might have been shot a hund
red times. One ot th? officers of the enemy,
doubtless thinking he had some conrnunica
ticn to make, rode out to meet him—-Blake,
however, paid no attention to him, but
rode on and returned and reported to Tay
lor.
Thus stood those two belligerent armies face
K> fa c. What were the feelings of those thon
aiids? How many th >ughts an 1 fears were
crowdo i into those few inom-nts? Look at
ot*rm”n-i clammy sweatis settled all over
faces slightly pale, not from cowardly fear but
from an awful sense of peril, combined with
a determination not to shrink from duty.
These are the m merits when true soldiers re
sign themselves to their fate and cons *le them
selves with the r< fleeiiou that whatever may
befall them, .they will act with li**n >r ; tin so
I are the moments when the absolute coward
suffers more than death-when if not certain
that he would be shot in his tracks, he Would ;
turn and flee.
Fighting is very hard work ; the man who
has passed through a two hours’ fight, has
lived through a great amount of mental and
physical labor. At the end of a battle I al
ways found that 1 had perspired so profusely
ns towel through all my thick woollen cloth
ing and when I cooled off I was as s ire as if
I had been beaten all over with a club.
When the battle commences, the feelings I
■nd rgo a change. Reader, did you ever see j
vour house on fire ? If so it was then you
ru-bed into great danger—it was then you |
went over places, climbing over walls, lifted I
heavy loads, which you never could have done
in your cooler moments! Yon, then, have ex
perienced som 5 of the excitement *»f the sol
dier in battle. I always knew my danger,
that at any moment I was liable to be killed,
yet such was the excitement that I never real
ized it! All inc i arc not alike; some are
co d ; some are perfectly wil 1 or crazy; others
are so prostrated by fear that they are com
pleicly unerved—an awful sinking and relax
ation of all their energies take place, aw fid
t-> bcii >11; they tremble like an aspen-.diuk
into ditches and covert places, cry’ like child
ren and are totally insensible to shame-dead
to every em >tion but the overwhelming fear
of Instant death. We had a few and but a
few of such in our army. ■
As the two armies were facing each o her, i
it was remarkable to sec the < o dness < f our I
men. There they stood chewing bits of b’s I
ciiit and talking about the Mexicans-some I
wondering if they would light; others allow- j
iug that they would, and liko demons, &j. |
I kept my eve on the. Artillery of the ene
my, and hapened to be looking towards their
right wing when suddenly a white curl of
mu he sprungup there from one of their guns
and the i I -a.v the dustily some distance in
front where the ball struck. Instantly anoth- j
er, and than another rich curl of smoke aro.-u ;
succeeded by a booming sound, and the sh t I
came crushing towards us. The enemy fired I
very rapidly aud their balls knocked tho dust j
about us in nil directioi.s-some went ovcr*>ur ;
hc.i Is, others struck the ground iu irout and
bounded away.
Our batteries now went to work and poured
in upon them a perfect storm of iron. Lieut,
Churchill and his men began with their 18
pounders,and wi.cn the first was fired, it made
such uLtld report that our men gave a upon- j
tancotis shout which seemed to inspire us with i
renewed confidence.
I could hear every word tho Lieutenant
said to his met). When the first Lull was fired
he watched the effect on the enemy, Haying :
“Too high, men try another !”’ “Too low. men j
—trv again 1 the third time is the charm 1 i
The third shot was fired, and I saw with wy i
own eyes the dreudlul effect of that and the |
succeeding shots.
’’That’s it, my boys,” shouted Churchill,
jumping up about two feet; you have them
now ! keep her at that
And so they did, and every shot tore com-;
plete lanes through the enemy’s lines —but ■
they stood it manfully. The full chorus of
batile now raged—twenty three pieces of ar
tillery belched forth their iron hail.
We were ordered to lie down in the grass
to avoid tho shut; this puzzle 1 the enemy and
they could not bring guns to bear upon ua—
which made our loss very small.
Many were the narrow escapes; one ball came
within six ’.nches of my left side. The force
of the ball was tremendous . a horse’s body
was no obstacle at all; a man’s leg was a mere
pipe stem. I watched the shot as it struck
the roots of the grass, and it was astonishing
how the dust flew. In about an hour the
grass caught on fire, and the clouds of smoke
shut out the opposing armies from view.
The enemy had been very severely' han
dled owing to the superiority, of our artillery.

To see them limbering and urdimbering, fir-

■ Hawke and then to fire again with 1 ghtning
i Lkc rapidity; partly hid from view by dense
i clouds of smoke and dust, with their dark
red shirts and naked arms, yelling at every

following extract from a priiate letter from
Kingston, Ga , gives some very useful hints
’ to those persons who are Lent on making a
summer jaunt:
“What arc your tourists to do this summer?
I Let me suggest a tour. The Stone Mountain,
Atlanta an 1 its extraordinary mechanical in
dustries, Kingston and the really magnificent
eave near it, tho Catoosa Springs, the Lookout
Mountain; back again, by private conveyance,
from Dalton to Spring Place, passing the C<>-
huttah Mountains: thence to the Amicaloht’i
Falls in Pickens; thonco to Dahlonega, its
Mint, and tho r eighljoring gold mines, now
largely and curiously’ worked by hydraulic
power; from Dahlonega to Clarksville, near
which are tho Tallulah and Tuccou Falls ;
then tho Madison Springs and Athens. The
t avel across from Dalton to Clarksville would
be by private c< iivey inec, but all the way tbr< ’
a striking country, full of wild and romantic
scenery. There would bo the discomforts of
‘across the country,” but these dtsco'.nfvris
are not to be removed, until there is an olje>. s
for their removal. Good hotels are always
put where there is g rod custom. It will fu
one of the good effects of the war that our
people will be compelled to spend their money
iat home. Whenever it is understood that
i they are going to do this, they' will get tho
; value of their money as well at home as abroad.
In some of the portions of this trip which I
have sketched out. really excellent accommo
dations can be obtained, as at Atlanta, King
ston, M irietta, Cato >sa, Look* ut Mountain,
Clarksvillo and tho Madison Springs.”—

DeQi’ixcey thus speaks of I’ompkt,—Sub
stitute tho name of Scott for that of the Ro
man statesman and soldier, and mark tho sin
gular justness of the description:
The position of Pompey, as an old invalid,
from wh mi his party exacted tho services of
youth, is worthy’ of separate notice. There i i
not, perhaps, a more pitiable situation than
that of a veteran reposing upon his past lau
rels, who is summoned from beds us down,
and from the elaborate system of comforts
engrafted upon a princely establishment, sud
i denly to reassunic his armor—to prepare for
i personal hardships of every kind—to renew
I his youthful anxieties, without support from
j youthful energies—once again to dispute,
: sword in hand, the title to his own honors—
to pay back into the chancery of war, ns into
some fund of abeyance, all his own prizes ami
palms of every kind—to re-open every’ decis
ion or awa’d by which he had ever benefited
—and to view his own national
of name, trophy, laurel crown, as all but s>>
many stakes provisionally resumed, which
must bo redeemed by services tenfold more
difficult than those by which originally they
had been earned.
Arkansas Sr.vrisrics.—The white popula
