THE CONTINENTAL FLAG
AND THE FLAGS OF
THE UN ITED STATES. ’
a. *.
We condense the following from a
lengthy article on this subject from
the New York Evening Mail:
The great Union flag of Great Bri
tain was brought by me Colonists to
America aud was lor some time, their
standard, hut when the oppression of
Britisb rule caused the Thirteen Col-
onies to resist, the device placed on
their banners was a rattlesnake cut iu
thirteen pieces,' each portiou repre
senting a Colony, with the significant
mpttiv' w* . when
the patriots became more determined
aud mure uniied iu their purpose and
were about to strike a b€avy blow iu
the cause of iiberty against tyranny,
their standard bore, on a yellow field,
a well-formed rattlesnake in an attb
tude of striking, with the motto un
derneath, ‘Don’t Tread on Me.’ The
color of the snake, as here represented,
was dark. ‘This circumstance,’ says
C’apl. Hamilton iu his ‘The National
Flag of the United States of Amcri-
ca,’ ‘goes strongly to prove the cor
rectness of our conclusion, that the
example of the mother couutry was
followed in the preparation of the
flags of this period fur the quaraus
line flag of me mother country was a
yellow flag with a dark spot, a repre
sentation of the plague spot in the
middle—those r colors u ere, doubtless,
chosen lor the, rattlesnake flag to
indicate the deadly character oi the
venom of the rattlesnake, and tlie
danger of Heading ou it.’
The following comment was called
forth from Dr. 1 ranktiu on seeing this
emblem ou a drum :
‘On inquiry, aud from study, I
learnt d that the ancients considtred
the serpent an emblem ot wisdom, and
in some attitudes of endless duration.
Also, that countries arc often repre
sented by animals peculiar to that
country. The rattlesnake is found
nowhere but in America. Her eve is
exceedingly bright, and without 'eye
lids; emblem of vigilance. Whenever
begins an attack, and sbe never sur
renders ; emblem of magnanimity acd
courage. She never wounds, even
her cm mies, till she generously gives
them warning not to tread ou "her ;
which is emblematical of the spirit ol
the people who inhabit the country.
She appears weak aud deleoccless, hut
her wtapons are ucvertticless formida
ble. Her poison is ilie necessary
means for the digestion of her food,
but certain destruction to her cues
mica; showing the power of American
resources. Her thirteen rattles, the
oidy part which increases iu n onber,
are distinct from each other, and vet,
so united tlr it they cannot be discon- ! ^aieot the lort- They* saw the flag

We see from the foregoing descrip
tion of the Colonial flags that they
were emblematic of umou; hence We,
call them Union flags in imitation of
the prevailing custom of the mother
country. Let us now cousider the
flag ot the Uuited States, described in
the following resolution of the Conti
nental Congress passed J une 14, 1777:
Resolved, That the flag of the thir
teen Uuited States be tiiirteeu stripes,
alternate red and white. That the
Union be thirteen stars in a blue Held,
representing a new constellation ’
This resolution was made public
September 3, 1777 ; aud the stars and
stripes were unfurled for tbe first time
at the Battle of Saratoga ou the occa
sion the surrender of'Gen. Burgoyne.
All our best students, I believe, are
agreed .hat the stars of the flag rep
resent the idea taken from thu con
stellation Lyra, which signified liar,
uiony, and have traced a connection
between that constellation aud the
torm in which the stars are'presented
oh tlie first flag. A writer in tlie
Pathfinder tells us.* ‘The blue of the
field was taken trout the banner of the
Covenanters of Scotland, likewise
significant of the league and covenant
ol the United Colonies against op
pression, aud incidentally involving
vigilance, perseverance and justice.
The stars were disposed in a circle,
symbolizing the perpetuity of the
Union, the circle being the sign of
eternity. Both the thirteen stripes
and the stars showed the number of
the Uniied Colonies, aud denoted the
subordination ol the Stales to, aud
their dependence upon the Union, as
well as equality among themselves.

SENATOR B. U. HILL.
■r- Darien Gazette.
We are happy to say that the Hon.
Ben. H. Hill has not resigned. Mr.
Hill has had his troubles during the
past winter; troubles which were well
calculated to test his.nerve and man
hood. He has come through them,
with those qualities unimpaired, and
stands to-day higher in the esteem of
Georgians than he ever did before.
Many -of those who could heretofore
see no one in the Senate but our war
rior Representative, have recently
reached die conclusion that there is a
civic courage ns well as a military, and
that Mr. Hill is the highest embodi
ment of tbe former, of which we the
South*now stand most in need.
Garfield is one of the men who sat on
the military tribunal that hanged
Mrs. Surratt- Ben Butler has referred
in the House of Representatives to tbe
entire body as ‘the murderers of a
poor ■ woman.’ This fact will not
create such a furore tor hint in some of
the Southern States as ‘Grant and his
horse’ would. He stands in for the
tariff on pulp, against the interests
of newspaper and book readers who
are forced to pay more for what they
read than they orlterwise would.
Again.. His nomination was actually
hissed in the government printing ot-
fice! This is bold; bnt it happened just
•"e'^Batne. Why? Because some
years ago when he was on the printing
committee af the House, the chairman
or the spokesman (I forget which,) he
reported and advocated a hill, which
was passed, which cut down the price
ol'odmposition from 60 cents to 50
OQUtsper thousand ems. The same bill
reftneed the pay of the bookbinders
there. Theyjhave not forgotten the stab
be gave them, and now want to stab
him in retura. This is a small thing,
bnt yet the printers say it will grow
among the working classes We
shall see. There are many other things
heard against Garfield, and they are
said by Grant men, not by Democrats.
It is likely Democrats orators will re
fer to them. Garfield’s connection
with the Credit Mobilier won’t do
him; any good.—Hartford Times.

The seven teen-year locust is filling
theJiills and rich bottom lands ot
Western Pennsylvania and Virginia
with its droning thunder, which is
almost deafening at noon on a sunny
day." The farmers have plenty of rea
sonable theories to account for its
mysterious disappearance and long
absence. It has, they say, to make a
journey to. China and back, which
takes eight years each way; or, it is a
part ot the Egyptian host, lost in the
Red Sea, which still live in some
nether world but are allowed every
syventeen years to revisit these
glimpses of the moon, and cry on
Phar'a-oh ! Pharaoh! to aronse the
remorse of their buried leader; or, it

by the most incredulous in the W on
