The Star Spangled Banner, I ' ;- , 0 say, can you see, by the dawn's early light; What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? AVhose broail stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming; -And the rockets red glare, and bombs burtsting in air. Gave proof through the night tliat our flag was still there: O say, does the Star Spangled Banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home ofthe brave ? ' 11 On the shore, dimly seen through the mists ofthe deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses ? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam In full glory reflected now shines on the stream : "lis the Star Spangled Banner; O long may it wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. in And where are the foes who so vauntinglv swore That the havoe of war, and the battle's confu- , sion, A home and a country should leave us no more Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution; No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave : And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph doth . wave, O'er the land ofthe free and the home of the brave 1 O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and foul war's desolation; Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven rescued land Praise the power that has made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause is so just, And this be our motto, "In God is our trust;" And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave ! The American Flag on Trinity Church. The Trustees of Trinity church have not been behindhand in manifesting a patriotic spirit, and a short time Bgo made it manifest by flinging Bt the breeze a large American ensign from one of the steeple windows, upwards of two hundred feet from the irround. This immense height evidently does not yet satisfy them, and they have determined to elevate the glorious Star Spangled Banner still higher, hv mounting a staff on the cross of the stee ple, which is two hundred and eighty four feet from the street, the stair measures luny icei, and will bear a flair of thirty by twenty. two o'clock yesterday afternoon the staff was to nave oeen eievateu to n.s ucouucu pusinuu , but owing to the prevalence of a strong northwest wind the rectors deemed it advisable to fasten lanyards to the cross, and raise the flag therefrom. The name of the intrepid young man who has undertaken to perform the'arduous and dangerous undertaking of placing the flag on the peak ofthe s'eeple, is Thomas Davidson. He had arranged to reef the halyards at two o'clock, and before an assemblage of many thousand persons he ascended the steeple step by step until he reached the top. He then stood on the cross, placing his cap upon the top, amidst the cheers of the multitude. He came down in the same manner in which he ascended, and this afternoon at the same hour he will perform a similar feat on the steeple of St. Paul's church. To the cross on Trinity church spire he has fastened lanyards, in ordettliat the banner may be raised thereon without again ascending it. No less than fifty different reefers had undertaken Ibis job, and every one of them nbandoned it, Davidson being . ' . .... 11 A il -J I the only one mat nns accuropiisiiea me uesircu office. At the same time there will, be five flag staffs placed upon the Revolutionary monument in the churchyard. Four of the flags will be raised on staffs fastened on the corner piuacles of the monument, (he staffs being thirty five feet high, while the staff in the centre is forty feet in height, and when placed in position will be at an elevation of nearly one hundred feet from the ground. The eagle perched on the top of the centre pinacle will not be removed, but it will be covered by the folds of the American flag a fit positiou to be occupied by the emblem of liberty. ,tW Major Anderson said of the men he had with him in Fort Sumter: "Until a man is halfstarved, half smothered, half poisoned, and on the voyage to eternity in this state, he never can know whit men I had or understand the measure of the valor that made surrender the last thought with them."

THE CONSTITUTION, THE

The Armory at Springfield. Snrinirfield is situated on a pleasant elevation within the Massachusetts lines, on the banks of the Connecticut river. Tho buildings at the armory occupy the sides and part of the area, of a large square, and the shops for forging are situated on a stream that falls into the river. The power to drive the machinery is obtained from water wheels. Smooth-bored rifles were exclusively made there until within a few years, when modern tactics required the consignment of old "Brown Bess" to oblivion. The term "Brown Bess" is not applicable to American muskets, the barrels of which are still polished and burnished in the old-fashioned style, while the English riflemusket has its barrel browned, thereby saving an immense labor to the soldier. All small fire arms should have their barrels browned lika fowl ing pieces. About ya.UOO nneu nre-arms nave been made at Springfield altogether. v The barrel is the principal part of the rifle. It is made out of a skelp of the best quality of iron, lolled to the proper length and thickness, ther welded over a swedjje core so as to form a tube This is now turned smoothly on the outside in a lathe, and also truly on the inside, by means of a long cutter, and rifled.. Jiach barrel must be perlectly straight, or it is of no use for accurate shooting. A very skill ful mechanic, having ah eye which can detect the slightest fault when he looks through the barrels, is employed to straighten them with a hummer and lever upon an anvil, and with a ;uide liiu Quite a number of barrels areprovd at once, when thev are finished to test their strength. . Larger charges are used for this purpose than are ever expected to be put into them while in service. If the least flaw is detected after proving, the barrel is condemned. The stocks are turned by Blanchard's ma chines, and the springs, &c, are all made alike by machinery. After a battle a number of good rifles can be made up on the field, from broken ones, by means ol a simple screw driver, uy combining the uninjured parts together. This system was first adopted in America, but it has been introduced into other countries, me gunmakers of Sheffield (England) now use American machines in their establishments, and it is said an agent of our country is now abroad with nstructions to purchase and ship 500,000 stand of 6mall arms immediately. Ffty thousand are expected within two weeks. Army Beverages. It has been discovered by experience, that soldiers on field and camp duty require some cheering beverage, and since it has been obtained that alcoholic beverages are injurious, the question arises "What can be substituted for them?" We have very useful and practical information on this head from Colonel Dawes, an experienced Indian officer. He recommends that coffee and tea should take the place of liquors, and says "care should be taken to have good coffee and tea provided regularly in each troop and company, and every man should have some offered to him, the first thing in the morning before doing duty, and also some in the evening. When properly managed this practice is alike beneficial to health ana morals. : A very aistinguisneu surgeon in the Indian army states that from long experience in tropical climates, with soldiers in barracks and in the field, he observed that a "cup of warm coffee taken in the morning tended to prevent sickness." . During the Crimean war, it was found that when the soldiers obtained warm cotlee, iney sustained fatigue, and were comparatively healthy; but when they were in the trenches, and could not get tea or coffee they were very subject to dysentery. Major Anderson, So much has been said about the disposition to be made of Major Anderson by the President, the Secretary of War, and by the volunteer federal troops of Kentucky, to say nothing of Major Anderson's own desires, that I am authorized to make the following statement: The gentlemen composing the brigade of volunteers raised in Kentucky sent a delegation here to invite Major Anderson to command them as Brigadier General. He promptly responded that he would do so with the consent of the President. The Presi dent as quickly said he would commission Major Anderson, and detail him to that command, if there was any law authorizing him to do so, and would not throw the Major out of the regular service in the event that the volunteers were disbanded in a short time. This point was not made clear to the President, and to-day Major Anderson was promoted by the Secretary of War to the position of Colonel in the army, and the President signed the commission, but with the distinct understanding that if it should subsequently be ascertained that authority existed to promote the Major still higher, and give him command of the Kentucky brigade, or if Major Anderson desired the promotion, at the risk of leaving the regular army, it snouiu DC uone. mis is me precise state of the case now. X. Y. Herald. Practice Economy, There was never a lime in our history when it was more necessary to practice economy than now. War enormously enhances me price 01 provisions and other necessaries, while it dimin ishes the means of purchasing them. In some kinds of business fortunes are being realized. Real estate is unsaleable, and rents are gone down, because peopie have not money to pay. The holders of breadstuff's will keep them up, because they know that the war, and the demand in England will enable them to command high nrices. It is necessary, therefore, for all classes of citizens to practice economy; even for some who -used to purchase three or four coats in twelve months to wear one now for a whole year. Economy in these, the hardest of hard times, is a virtue of the first order, and no person ought to buy anything he can dispense with till the war is over. V. . Herald. Tbk Proportions of thi American Flao. The American flag, properly, should consist of thir'en stripes seven red and six white one for each of the original States. The flag should be one-half longer than wide, no matter what should be its size. The blue, or Union, should cover seven stripes beginning with a red stripe should be one-third longer than wide, and conlain one star for each Stat in the Union (thirty-four.)

UNION, AND THE

How a Husband was Cured, It was a drizzling, half-snowy day, just such a day as puts nervous people in a bad humor with themselves, and every one else. Job Dodge sat brooding over the fire, immediately after breakfast, His wife addressed him as follows : "Mr. Dodge, can't you mend that front door latch today ?" "No I" was the answer. "Well, can't you mend the handle ofthe water-pail?" No." "Well, can't you fix the handle of the mop V "No." "Well, can't you put up some pins for the clothes in our chamber?" "No." Well, can't you fix that north window, so that the rain and snow won't drive in ?" No no no!" answered the husband sharply. He then took his hat, and was on the point of leaving the house, when his wife, knowing that he was going to the tavern, where he would meet with some of his wet day companions, asked him kindly to stop a moment." She then got her bonnet and cloak, and said to her husband : "you are going to the tavern j with your leave I will go with you. The husband stared. "Yes," said the wile, I may as well go as youSf you go and waste the day and tipple at-tie tavern, why I shall go and do the same! Job felt the reproof he shut up the door, hung up lus hat, got the hammer and nails, did all his wife had requested, and sat duwn by his fire at night a better and a happier man. One of our solid men recently had occasion for the pain extracting services of a coi n doctor, and while the operation was going on the talk turned on the state of the times. "Business with me is remarkably dull," remarked the doctor. "You don't say that the Southern troubles affect your business ?" said the patient. "Indeed I do," replied the doctor, "But, really, you don't say that people, to avoid paying twenty-five or fifty cents, will suffer the pain of their corns ?" "No," replied the doctor, "but the times make people wear their old boots and shoes, and they don't have any corns." Sewton (iV. J.) Herald. Enrolled Act No. 5, of the Senate, AN ACT to define certain felonies and to provide for the punishment of persons guilty thereof. Section 1 . Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That any person or persons belonging to, or residing within this State, or under the protection of its laws, who shall take or accept a commission or commissions from any person or persons, istate or otates, or other ene mies of this State, or of the United States, for the purpose of joining or commanding any army or band of men hostile to, or in rebellion against this State, or of the United States, or who shall know ingly and wilfully aid or assist any enemies in open war, or persons in rebellion against this State, or the United States, by joining their arm ies or by enlisting or procuring or persuading oth eis to enlist for that purpose, or by furnishing such enemies or persons in rebellion with arms or amunition, or provisions, or any other articles for their aid or comfort, -ot.by sjiippingsunding or. carrying to such enemies or rebels, or their agents, any arms, amunitions or provisions, or other articles lor their aid or comlort, or by car lying on a traitorous correspondence with them or shall form or be in anywise concerned in form' ing any combination or plot or conspiracy for be trayintr this Stale or the United States, or the armed forces of either into the hands or power of any foreign enemy, or any organized or pretend ed Government engaged in resisting the laws or authority of the Government of the United States of America, or shall give or send any intelligence to any such enemies or pretended Government of their forces for that purpose, every person so ot-fending-shall, upon conviction thereof, be impris oned in the State Prison for a term not less than two, nor more than twenty-one years, and be fined a sum not exceeding ten thousand dollars.

Sec. 3. It is hereby declared that an emergency exists for the immediate taking effect of this act : therefore the same shall be in force from and after its passage, and the Secretary of State is hereby requested to have the same published in the Indianapolis Daily Journal and Daily State Sentinel. Jfc& It is a significant fact that, at the great war meeting in New York the most imposing demonstration ever witnessed on this continent the speakers said nothing about any efforts to abolish slavery. The government has no such intention, and would to day send troops to suppress servile insurrection if called upon. So far as we know, the animating cause of the present sentiment of the North is to uphold an imperiled government. Adjutant G eneral's Eeport. Adjutant General's Okfick. Indianapolis, May II, 1861. To the Senate of the Stale of Indiana : Agreeably to the resolution of your Honorable Body, passed on the 10th inst., the undersigned respectfully reports as follows : Pursuant to the orders ol ins excellency iite Governor, five regiments of infantry, embracing the first fifty companies tendered, have been formed and ordered into camp, in the order hereto appended. Inasmuch as the companies were tendered for the three months call, it became necessary to ascertain those which would offer for twelve months service to the State. A part of many of the companies declined to engage for twelve months service, and the Captains were given time till the 13th inst. to recruit. Until that time expires it cannot be determined as to whether all will respond to the order. It was deemed best not to publish the order forming the regiments until the companies composing them had all accepted. After the formation of the five regiments, there remained in Camps Morton and Sullivan six companies, a part of which, it is said, have disband-

St, Louis Troubles, On last Friday a camp of about 800 State militia, with arms and amunition, were surrounded by C or 8,000 U. S. troops, and taken prisoners of war. On their march from Camp Jackson, to the Arsenal, tliey were attacked, or fired into by persons along the streets, which was returned by the soldiers, and over 20 killed. We give the following brief statements, which contains about the facts, without the columns of details. Official Statement of the capture of Camp Jackson How the Riot Commenced, and the names ofthe Dead. - St. Louis, May 13. The official statement of the capture of the State troops is published. It says that the first firing at Camp Jackson, on Friday evening, was some half a dozen shots near the column of the 1st regiment, occasioned by a volley of stones and pistol shots from the crowd. No one was hurt at this point. The second filing occurred from the rear of the col umn guarding the prisoners. 1 lie crowd here was large and very abusive. One man discharged three barrels of a revolver at Lieut. Saxon of the regular service, many of the mob cheering lam on, drawing revolvers and firing at the troops. The man who commenced the attack, then laid his pistol across his arm and was taking deliberate aim at Lieut. Saxon, when lie was thrust through with a bay onet, fired upon at the same lime and instantly killed. The column then moved on, having received orders to march. The rear company then being assaulted by the crowd, and several of them shot, halted and fired, causing the deaths already reported. The order was then given by Capt. Lyon to cease firing, which was promptly obeyed. The principal arms taken from Camp Jackson were four large seige howitzers, two ten inch mortars, and some 6,000 United States muskets, supposed to be a portion of those taken from the Baton Rouge Arsenal. Thousands of people left the city yesterday afternoon, in consequence of the reports of insubordination among the G rman troops, and their threats lo Durn and sack the city, but the appearance of General Harney's proclamation, in a great measure, restored confidence, and many of those who left, will probably return to-day. The city is now quiet, and the highest hopes are entertained that no further disturbance will occur. Twenty-two persons are known to have been killed at the Camp. The following have been identified: John Swerkhardt, Casper H. Glencoe, Jno. Waters, Thomas A. Haren, Wm. Juenhower, J. J. Jones, P. Doane, Erie Wright, Henry Jungle James McDonald, Walter McDowell, Nicholas Knoblash, Francis Wheelow, Job Carter, James Bodsen, Emma Sommers and Mrs. McAuliff. Three of these were soldiers belonging to the South-west Expedition, and were going as prisoners captured at Camp Jackson. The Evening Journal publishes a statement, signed by Gen. Frost and his staff, explaining why Camp Jackson was surrendered. They sayl there were only five rounds of amunition in the camp, and neither arms nor provisions enough to supply the force of 800 men under their command. To have attempted resistance, surrounded as they were by 5,000 to 8,000 troops, well armed with every appliance of war, would have been mere suicide, and retreat was impossible, they being without means of transportation or provisions, and no credit to procure either. They censure the State authorities for not paying their just military debts; that proper supplies could have been procured, and pronounce

Cant. Lyon's demand illegal, unconstitutional and wanton, trampling under foot the laws of our common country. It is estimated that ten thousand persons left the city yesterday a perfect panic is raging in some quarters and almost entire streets being deserted.

(JEN. HARNEY 8 PROCLAMATION. To the people of the State of Missouri and the City of St. Louis: Military Department oe tub West,) St. Louis, May 12th, 1861. j I have just returned to this post, and have assumed the Military Command of this Department. No one can more deeply regret the deplorable state of things existing here than myself. The past cannot be recalled. I can only deal with the present and future. I most anxiously desire to discharge the delicate and onerous duties devolved upon me, so as to preserve the publio peace. I shall carefully abstain from the exercise of any unnecessary powers, and from all interference with the prop, er functions of the public officers of ihe State and city. I therefore cail upon the public authorities and the people to aid me in preserving the public peace. The military force stationed in thin department by the authority of the Government, and now under my command, will only be used in the last resort to preserve peace. I trust I may be spared the necessity of resorting lo martial law, but the public peace must be preserved, and the lives and property ofthe people protected. Upon a careful review of my instructions, I find I have no authority to change the location of the " Home Guards." To avoid all cause of irritation and excitement if called upon lo aid the local authorities in preserving the public peace, I shall, in preference, make use ofthe Regular Army. I ask the people to pursue their peaceful avocations, and to observe the laws and orders of their local authorities, and to abstain from the excitements of public meetings and heated discussions. My appeal, I trust, may not be in vain, and I pledge the faith of a soldier to the earnest discharge of my duty. WILLIAM S. HARNEY. Brigadier Gen. U. S. A., Com'ngDept. . St. Louis, May 14. The first four regiments of United States volunteers, under command of Col. Blair, Boerstien, Sigal and Schultun, have been formed into a brigade, under the style of first brigade Missouri volunteers; and Capt. Lyon has been elected Brigadier General. Commanding General Lyon accepts the position, and retains command of those regiments by authority ofthe President. Emmet McDonald, Captain of mounted rifles, belonging to the South-west Expedition, having refused to swear allegiance to the United States, or accept release on parole, was confined in the Arsenal as prisoner of war. Judge Treat, of the United States Circuit Court, was petitioned yesterday for, writ of habeas corpus, and his decision is anxiously looked for, as it will involve a Constitutional question which has been raised in reference to the capture of Camp Jackson. The following arms, in addition to those already ennumerated, were seized at Camp Jackson: three thirty-two pounders; a large quantity of balls and bombs; several pieces of artillery in boxes, twelve hundred rifles, late model; six brass field pieces; six brass mortars, six inch; one ten inch iron mortar; three six inch iron cannon; several chests of new muskets; five boxes of cannister shot; ninety-six ten inch and three hundred six inch shells; twenty-five kegs of powder; a large number of musket stocks and barrels; between thirty and forty horses, and a considerable quantity of camp tools. The number of prisoners taken to the arsenal was six hundred and thifty-nine, and fifty officers. Gen. Harney publishes this morning art address to the people of Missouri, in which he calls attention to the military bill, recently passed by the Legislature, which he regards as an indirect secession ordinance, manifestly unconstitutional, and ought not to be upheld by good citizens. He says-whatever may be the termination of the present condition of things, in respect to the Cotton States, Missouri must share the destiny of the Union, all her material interests point to this re suit, and so important is this regarded to the great interests of the coun:ry, that I venture the opinion, that the whole power of the United States Government, if necessary, will be exerted to maintain Missouri in the Union. Speaking of Camp Jackson, he says the names of Davis and Beauregard marked its main avenues, that a body of men, organized in the interests of the secessionists, have been received there openly, bearing the dress and badge distinguishing the army of the so called Southern Confederacy, and leaves the people to draw their own inferences of the character and ultimate purpose of the encampment. He states however, that there were many good and loyal men in camp, who were in no manner responsible for its treasonable character. In conclusion he says: " Disclaiming all desire or intention to interfere with the prerogatives of the State of Missouri or with the functions of its Executive, yet I regard it my plain path of duty to express to the people in respectful but decided language that within the field and scope of my command the supreme law of the land must and shall be maintained, and no subterfuges whatever in forms of Legislative acts or otherwise, can be permitted to harrass or oppress the .good and law abiding people of Missouri. I shall exert my authority to protect their persons and property from violations of every kind, and shall deem it my duty to suppress all unlawful combinations of men, whether formed under military organization or otherwise." Arrival of the Uth at Evansville. The Evansville Journal of Saturday gives the following account of the arrival of 'the 1 1th regiment at that place : So many of our people were disappointed on Thursday morning, that they became somewhat skeptical as to whether troops were coming at all, and consequently were taken by surprise when they heard the music of the regimental band yesterday morning. But few persons, comparitively, were at the depot, and no demonstrations whatever were made over the important arrival. The troops were formed, immediately on arriving, and marched direct to the encampment. They are robust, bardy, noble looking fellows ;
