KoOnded, as it is, upon the mvstarie* and ceremonies of the anc:ent Egyptians, it lis# come down to us as the very sin* , hndiment and substance of Masonrv. It is the impressive exemplification of the hifth, the life the duties, the deith and the resurrection of man. It stamps npen the intelligent Mason the sublime doc j trine of the immortality of the emil; and jit was a wise provision of all Orar.d I o<1grts that that degree shotHd nc?fr he given in part only, hut should he completed at every imjeitaking. To omit this legend is to omit the degree itself, and for its omission the ordinary excuse, not even the ignorance o! the master, who may not have the talent ; or industry to learn it, is not f.ufticient.? Tkifl*legend is the grind land mark, the unfailing beacon of Masonic centuries. It is never changed ; it will admit of no re I inoval, for it is (lie tme point of the unii ver?al Brotherhood.

One of those painful incidents which j bo often occur in these days of our bu 1 initiation, teaching us that we live under j all the hardships of military rule and j that the foot of the conqnerty is upon j our neck, took place at the annual parade j. of the Charleston Fire Department on the 27ih ult. When the procession w?b about to move iroin tlie Uttadel Green, orders | 1 were issued by General Siclcles that the ' | Natidbal Flag with an escort of honor I composed of two persons from each I Company, should be borne in fcont of the | column, an 1 that every person in the | co'umn should salute the<olors, bv lifting I his hat or cap on arriving at a point, [ three paces distant from the color* and carrying the cap uplifted, three paces Jis tant from the same. i Orders were given to arrest anv person i who tefused to obey these instruction , I No National Flag, even before the j war, had ever been carried by the fire companies on parade, and none being prepared, s une two hours passed before one could be procured. The piocession was delayed and the pleasure of the oc cas:on marred by these arbitrary proceedings. There whs a time when the flag of the. | union symbolized civil freedom end con siitntional government, end then the peop'e of the South yielded to none in their love and devotion J<<r it.
