TISE BLACTi. FLAG.
BY PACL 11. lIATSB.
Like the roar of the wintry surges
On a wild, tempestuous stand,
The Voices cf the maddened millions
Comes up from an outraged Land;
For the enp of our woe runs over,
And the day of our grace is past,
And Mercey had fled to tbe Angels,
And Hatred is King at last!
Then up with the Sable B.iv.ncr!
Let it thrill to fee Yi'&r-Godls breath,
For we mareb to the watchword—Vengeance!
And we follow the Captain—Death!
In the gloom of the gory breaches,
On the ramparts wrapt in flame,
'Mid the ruined homesteads blackened
By a hundred deeds of shame —
Wheresoever the Vandals rally,
And the bands of the Alien meet,
We will crush the heads of the Hydra
With the stamp of oar armed feeft
Up! up I with the Sable Banner!
Let it thrill to the War-God breath,
For we inarch to the watchword —Vengeance! j
And we follow the Captain—Death I
Tliey have taught ns a careful lesson!
'Tis burned on oar hearts in fire,
And the seals of a host of heroes
Leap up with a fierce demit!—
And we swear by all th,%t is sacred, ,
And we swear by all that is pure,
That the crafty and cruel Dastards
Shall ravage our home no mere;
Then up with the Sable Banner!
bet it thrill to the War-GodVbrc-s.tb, .
For we march to the watchword —Yiageauce ! ;
And we follow the Captain—Deaih!
We will roll the billows of batt^

Back, back, en the braggart fee,
'Till his leaguercd and istrtckon c.tics
Sh«U quake widi a coward throe;
They shallcompass the awfai meaning
Of the conflict their Lust begun,
- Wiisn the Northland rings with wailing.
And the graad old Causs hath won"
- Then up with jhc Sable Bs-uner!
Let it thrill to the War-Gad's breath!
For we march to the watchword—Vecgesr.Cid

Such is iha heading Ne;r fork Herald

After eighteen nnaiths of war by h:v.l aftd I
water, involving the wasting of au baiuease j
army and the expendicuxe of a uiil
lious of money, what is cur position ? His- ;
giacefully defensive. As the opposing armies I
oi'-tbis war stand this day we cannot, witlusut
a sense of shame and deep huai:i:atiosi. <■ m- ,
template the contrast between tbe uuaauo&e *
forces and resources of war at the service of ;
our government and the pitiful weakness t»0 i
our rebellious States. We have a loyal pepa- s
lation of tweaty-theea millions, eig&l \
millions serving this rebellion, and of these \
eight millions nearly three mlHbns
African slaves. The white p .pulanon of )
Now York and Pennsylvania is greater than !
that of -'our rebellions'" States, ©isr ttiauu- |
faoturing establish meats of ail deacrrprioiis 1
render lis a self-sustainiiig people £« all she j
requirements of peace or way; aiid wiib
advantages we retain aii those of :iis nsijre- ;
s'tricted Bonmerce with iore'gi'i nations. Oar !
rebellious Saates, on the other baud, with j
. only a few iaslgnlficaut of
arms aud materials of war, textile fabrics, :
leather, &c, have been cut off by &"» citcir- ]
cling blockade f.,r fifteen months frnsit v.:'i
those supplies upon which they had degerided '
froai the North and froaa Harope, la the wiv> j
of arms, mDaitkms cf war, clothing mods- ;
cines, and jamtoy of the esscarhila of snbsii- ;|
tenco.
The rebellion is without the vestige <f a j
navy, except a straggling ship or two, while r
ours in this war is equal to a laud force'uf \
three or four hundred rhoOSaifll men Oui
revulfced States are nearly eshaasted of die j
commonest articles of food, while we of die )
loyal States have a superabundance of aS the |
essentials aud luxuries of ille. Our troops,
en masse, are better armed, equipped and !
subsisted than those Of any other i a i;>.i. ]
while those of the rebellion are armed.with]
all sorts of wcripo , a«,.,^«r-jd 5 bad and indiub- \
rent, clothed in rags, led upon half rati -us 1
and yet, advancing: upji our borders, tb*y !
threaten the invasion of Ohio a.id Penhsyl
vania, and the occupation of our nattunai
capital.
From the evacuation of Corinth down to j
this day, our armies in almost every encran- j
ter have been pushed back by the overwbcUa- ]
ing forces of the enemy ; and 80 n:»w, while j
Washington is menaced by a great rebel army j
on both *6ides of the Potomac, the clothing \
stores and pork houses of Cincinnati are
threatened with a visit frcm the hungry and
ragged battalions of a rebel _ army column aii
the way from Tennessee.
We have no more time to waste in tricing, j
"We are in the very crises of life or death to
the country.
Every day we stand upon the defensive
contributes much to strengthen the rebels iv
the articles of subsistence aud clothinc, which
they are gathering up from tho fauns, hfffls
and stores of Noruhern Maryland. They
should at once be driven out. If General
McClollan is not yet strong enough to do this
without danger to Washington from the
rebel column on the Virginia side, a hundred
thousand strong, what is there to prevent New
York. Ne,w Jersey, and Pennsylvania, send
ing down to his support a body of fifty thous
and militia within the next ten clays ?
We have the opportunity r.ow to put down
this oar doovs. If we lose it we
may lose everything. We may be broken up i
by. our rebel aruiiep and our infamous political j
factions not into iwo confederacies, but into
ten oriweniv petty republics cf the South
American sebo-'ls, "electing each a dictator
every, year at the point of the bayonet, and
all ineeae&ntly fighting each other. We must
save.our «toaßtry,Or no man in the land can
say that bis turvivlna; children will not be
outcasts under a rule of ruffians and robbers.
Now is the time. Now is the time to save
our country, and to bring this rebellion to an
end, while Europe is yet debiting the ques
tion of intervention.
These positions of the enemy's forces would
leave but little cwijeetare regarding Ids plans,
even if they were not from sources of reforma
tion hitherto always found reliable. They
are altogether stragetic, and success is antici
pated without lighting mora than one battle.
They hate umde tho Mnnocaoy the line of'
operauanysgalnst both Baltimore and Wash
ington, anil have arranged their forces so as
i to concentrate the bulk cf their array ip the
smallest possible time, either for ofjotLS'ive or
defensive ne'don, and at the same time hold a
line of retreat across the Potomac. The sides '•
s of Frederick, Baltimore and Washington form
j an {Equilateral triangle, with sides of forty
j miles. Making Frederick the point of cpera-
I thins, by occupying the line of the Mononacy, j
they threaten both Baltimore and Washing- S
ten* while McCkd'an, engaged- in the double
I task of defending both, is compelled to si retch !
his army along the sides of the triangle be- j
! tweea the two, thus giving them an rpportn- [
I itity to rush a superior force upon either of
his wmg3. Jackson at this moment could J
make the attempt to overpower with eighty.]
Ithousand men his ("ucClcllari's) right wing I
j towards Baftfmere, and leave Lee v.-iih forty I
1 thousand to menace his left, and, if necessary, I
t fight it wi;h nearly equal bu.jaLcrs:. or the !
j hvs oniSngcould d&sbkm his left, and attempt ]
tto crosS it by overwhelming numbers. But [
■j n:di Is not their plan, T*ey are waiting for j
la, feasor thing. As McClelMp advances his
j srmj from Vrbvsbdryytosi he must ■■ keep his left
j well up to the right bank of the Potomac, j

ON account of my inability this season, to
provide a generous table and adequate at
tendance of servant?, I had declined opening the
Hygei.i Mansion to guests. But, visitors crowd
ing upon me, I have to advertise at last, that
the door is-open. Yet the most that I can pro
mise my guests, besides the health-giving wa
ters, is protection and kindness. However, I
will not mil in due attention to the hills! Terms'
for Board, therefore, Si.so a day by the month,
$3 a day for a fortnight cr so, $2.50 a day for
less, and 75 cents a meal.
I send a carriage to Glade Spring Depor up
on request. E. LONGLEY.
