Gallant nation foiled by numbers,
Bey not thet your hopes ere fled; '
Keep that glorious flag lb at alnmbers, <
One day to avenge your dead.
Keep it, widowed, sonless mothers,
Keep it, sisters, mourning brothers : i
Furl it with an iron will,
Furl it now, but keep it still. 1
Think not that it's work is done,
Kept it till your children take it,
Onoe again to hail and make it
All jour aona hare bled and fought for,
All their noble hearts hare sought for,
Bled and fought for all alone.
All alone! aye, shame the story,
Millions here deplore the stain.
Shame, alas 1 for England's glory
Freedom called and called in rain.
Furl that banner sadly, slowly,
Furl it gently for 'tis holy,
fiH that day, yes, furl it sadly,
Then onoe more unfold it gladlyConquered
Banner I keep It still.

A New Destroyer or Wheat.?Our
lid friend, Hiram H. Erabry, of Carroll
sounty, in this State, one of the oldest and
lest farmers in that county, informed us
in yesterday that a new destroyer of wheat
has made its appesrunco in the wheat fields
:hore in the shape of a small insect which
iRpcars on tho blado, varying from one to
[our in number, and which is producing
?d havoo. Tho atteution of Mr. Embry
was first called to tho appearance of the
insect and its destructive powers by anothir
old farmer of the same county, Mr
Eleary Summerlin. Tho two together
havo watched the progress of this insect,
ma wan wuu mo present appearance ot
>he wheat crop in this vicinity, and the
Instructive powers of the insect itself, have
some to the conclusion that great damage
will be done to the whoat crop in Carroll,
it it be not totally destroyed. The insect,
Mr. ?. states, has never beforo made its
tppear&nco in that county Farmers would

Revenue Stamps.?We publish the
following from the New York Herald of
the 26th instant, which settles the question
whether or not it is necessary to affix a
stamp on all receipts of money over twenty
dollars. The case was tri*l before the
United States District Court, New York,
Judgo Benedict presiding.
ISSUING MONEY RECEIPTS WITHOUT THE
PROPER STAMPS.
The United States vs. Daniel P. Peters.
?This was an action under the Internal
Revenue law of 30th June, 18G4. The
defendant proprietor of a hotel on Broadway,
corner of Tv nty first street, was charged
with having at :>cveral limes issued
seven separato receipts for the payment of
money, without affixing the necessary revenue
stamp. A witness testified that the
receipts were accepted by him under protest,
but that Mr. Peters said ho would be
damned if he would put on any stamp or
pay any money to support tho Lincoln go
vernmcnt.
Tho defence was that defendant hnd no
intent to evade tho law, and it was put on
testimony that Mr. Peters was in the hab
it ot keeping stamps on hand, but it was
not shown that he ever made use of them.
The jury rendered a verdict for the Government
in 81,400, the full amount of
penalties in seven case,s in which the de
fendant was charged with having evaded
the law.
