Reply to Um Conquered Banner

Gallant nation foiled by number*.
Bey not that your hopes are fled; '
Keep that glorious flag that slumbers, <
One day to avenge your dead.
Keep it, widowed, sonles* mothers,
Keep it, sisters, mourning brothers : I
Furl it with an iron will,
Furl it now, but keep it still.
Think not that it's work is done,
Kept it till your children tske it,
Oaoe again to hail and make it
All your sens have bled and fought for, 1
All their noble hearts have sought for, 1
Bled and fought for all alone.
All alone! aye, shame the story,
Million* here deplore the stain.
Shame, alas 1 for England's glory
Freedom called and called in vain.
Furl that banner sadly, slowly.
Fur1 it gently for 'tis holy, I
T bet day, yet, furl it sadly, ,
T i one? more unfold it gladly?
Conquered Banner 1 keep It still.

Th? Last Battle Field
But. Dr. Craven, on bis way to the 1
General Conference of the Methodist Epu- [
copal Church, South, reoently hold in New ,
Orleans, stopped at Lynohburg, Virginia, ?
ind, in writing to the Raleigh Enterprise, 1
makes the following touching allusions to '
Appomattox Court House, in Virgiuia : ]
"Wo have passed to day, through a locality
of undying inomories. Appomattox
Uourt House will bo remembered when *
Petersburg and Raleigh uro forgotten.? 1
rhe whole country shows most impressive- <
ly, that the storm of war has passed over 1
It The debris of a ruined army of heroic f
men brings sadness to the soul. Over all this
field of tho death strugglo, the farmers >
are ploughing, new fences have been erect- <
ed, and the budding vegetation is just now i
awakening to the wooing ot spring, but t
these signs of life, generally so welcome, <
seem discordant here. It seems to the ]
sad soul and tho tearful eye that these old t
shoes, these broken guns, these fragments
of wagons, wreoks of cars, pieces of old i
hats, bleaching bones of horses, and name- t
less graves of many Southern boys, ought i
to be in a desert.* ?
"As wo look upon the forsaken battlefields
and immense hospitals of Fariuvillo, T
or tho strieken fields ot Appomattox, wc I
(ool that tho plough ought not to turn the I
soil, that the trees ought uot to die, and t
that no bird ought over to Bing here again
No Union man, however true and loyal to
tho Unitod States, ij he it <i man, could
walk over this desporute field unmoved and
untouched. Hero a brave aruiy surrcniered,
gave up its arms, and laid its ban- 1
aors in the dust, llero ho tho remains of f
l son and brother for whom n mothnr l
mourns and a sister weeps, and there is (
none to comfort them. Ilcre lio the half- *
uncovered bones of a father, whoso little r
children still ask, 'when will father come *
home?' it is now night, it is raining gently,
all is still, and I feel a lonely sadness
that makes the heart ache.
A New Destroyer of Wheat.?Our
dd friend, Hiram H. Erabry, of Carroll 1
county, in this State, one of the oldest and <
best farmers in that county, informed us
cn yesterday that a new destroyer of wheat
has made its appe-ranco in the wheat fields ?
there in the shape of a small insect which
iBpcars on the blade, varying from one to
[our in number, and which is producing (
jad havoo. The atteution of Mr. Embry j
was first called to the appearance of the
insect auu lis destructive powers by anoth
sr old farmer of the same county, Mr
Beary Suinmerlin. The two together ^
have watched the progress of this insect,
and what with tho present appearance ot
the wheat crop in this vicinity, and the (
iostruotive powers of the insect itself, have
some to the conclusion that great damage ,
will be done to the wh jat crop in Carroll, j
ii it be not totally destroyed. The insect, (
Mr. ?. states, lias ncvor before made its
ippearance in that county. Farmers would
Jo well to look after their wheat, and note
ibe appearance of tho troublesomo insect, f
Ls habits, and so forth, and discover if pos j
lible, the source of its origin.?Atlanta In- <
'tlligenccr.
Baton Rouge Anecdote.?We take \
the following from the Advocate. "Pomp" J
must be the samo darky who said that he ,
bad known the Mississippi river ever since J
it was a small creek :
"Our old reliable says that ho supported t
in old darkey once (it is not polite to say }
owned,) who had lied about it so often that (
be actually began to believe that he had
been u body servant of Gin'ral Washington. |
"Were you at the surrender of Cornwallis?' <
we inquired one day. 4Yes, Massu George
he rode up ou top u big black boss, wid de
tail bobbed and wid ono red eye. Massa
Cornwallis, he coui'ed up on a little buck
pony, wid a wall eye, an' he looked mighty
jhecpy when he hold out his gold sword to
Massa Georgo.' 'What did your master
say, Pomp?' b'ay ? 'Why, ho curl up his
lip and he ware his hand from Massa
Cornwall!# toward mo, aud he say, hand
it to my servant, sar.'
Old Pomp and another old darkey were
one day disputing over their respective
iges, 'I corned here when the Massassip
was so narrow you could jump across it,'
asserted old Dick. 'Oh, shaw,' replied
Pomp, 'when I fuss corned from old Virginny
I had to tote water for de hands as *

Revenue Stamps.?We publish the
following from the New York Herald of
the 26th instant, which settles the question
whether or not it is r.ecessary to affix a
stamp on si! receipts of tuoney over twenty
iollars. The ense was tried before the
United States District Court, New York,
ludgo Benedict presiding.
ISSUING MONEY RECEIPTS WITHOUT THE
PROPER ST A MPS.
The United States vs. Daniel P. Peters.
--This was an action under the Internal
Revenuo law of 30th June, 1804. The
lefendant proprietor of s hotel on Broadtray,
corner of Twenty first street, was char
5CU with having at several limes issued
(oven separata receipts for the payment of
noney, without affixing the necessary revenue
stamp. A witness testihed that the
eceipta were accepted by him under proest,
but that Mr. Peters said ho would be
lAmned if he would put on any stamp or
->ay any monoy to support the Lincoln go
rernmcnt.
The defence was that defendant had no
ntent to evade tho law, and it was put on
estimony that Mr. Peters was in the habt
of keeping stamps on hand, but it was
lot shown that ho ever made use of them.
The jury rendered a verdict for the Gorcrnment
in 81,400, tho full amount of
lenalties in seven cases in which tho de
"endant was charged with having evaded
he law.
