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.

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.

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. rings’aiid cliques,-add'that the itoini' nees oiteu obtain’ ,their nominations - -. 4 you'iickle’ttie, I’ll tickle yon,’’thns defeating'a fair and patriW otio expressioiv afivlid publio will and estiangling mgqy.guod citizens frpin 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 !

It is reported that there is a colored preacher living near Albany, who is a great believer in muscular Christiani ty. When any male of his flock fails to pay his pro rata for the dispensing of the gospel, he (the preacher) uses his buggy whip on the delinquent brother very ficely. Mrs. Garfield is said to have re ceived aliout 2000 callers at her home on Tuesday. The opinion of Grant’s ex-Secretary of War, Belknap, ‘Garfield is the most corrupt man iii America, and would steal Heaven’s livery to serve the devil in,’ is interesting at this moment. A bee’s sting is only one-fourth of inch loug.’ A very insignificant thiug, apparently, but it leaves a warm impression about two feet deep. There nothing stingy about the sensation caused by a bee’s sting, although it may look that way. John II.
