LOCAL AND STATE AFFAII19. I J. 0BAH7IUI IAACH. bptrrttr. . The ladies bavi'ig procured * hamiiou'e national Hap lo present to the Cape Island Home Guards, on Monday evening of last week decided to make the presentation oh the fallowing Wednesday evening, (23th of . May,) at the Headquarters of the company. \ at the United States Hotel. Tte time being so short, with no opportunity to give public notice, except through tbo Wave, which was circulated oc the island on the afternoon of liie day in which the proton- \ taliou was to come olT in the eveuing, it j was scarcely expected that but few would lie present ; but, contrary to expectations, 1 some four or five hundred assembled at an 1 srarly hour. The Cold Bprin- Union *" Guards, Capt. A. M. lvey, were among the number, by invitation. Tbo exercises were opened with prayer j : by Iter. Mr Dewing, aftor which "Hail ■ ' t-'olunibia" was sung by nino ladies and . two gent Ire ten. Mr. W. W. Ware, in behalf or the la- ! j dies then presented the Ilajr, with the following speech, which would do honprto an j | experienced orator, both in mutter and delivery.- J We meet this evening, fellow citizens, : , under cirruin»luiice* in which we must all | feel deeply interested ; circumstances dif i futing widely, perhaps, from any other occa- ' i sion under which we hare ever before been i colled together ; Ilia-much as our once | peaceful aud happy country i* now called < f " ~~tP"witnesa- aes-iiea-of ^umtcntmu. . uiacurd. , and strife ; the booming of cannon i* heard , in thunder tones throughout our borders; r a civil, a fratricidal war, with all its atteu- , v.# dsnt horrors, is opon us. t Our enemies. Ion, are those of onr own cooutry ; those whose fathers fought in de- t fence of thai flag, and that Uotrm which I their som now desecrate, ajul wish to tram- f pie under their feet. It it they that have disintered, from the > » deep, ilaik srote of on "Arnold," that hy- i i

dra-beuiledmnneter— treaiHin;— hare cursed | the land of their birth; have fired upon cur fort* and our flag ; have stolen our government property, und have murdered I ourritixena, while on their way in tbo path of duly, at the call of onr chief magistrate, ! to protert our national capital from the i threatened invasion of a traitor army. These, fellow citizens, am some of the insults we are called upon*- to bear. It i* this thai has occasioned this mighty upiising of the people. This it is that has oc casioned this mighty oulburMing of that spirit, of that fire, of patriotism that pervades the breast of every truo son of Co- : * * lumbia. lint I meet yon, citizen soldiers of the "Cape Island Home Gnard," on this occasion, as the representative of the ladies of I -Cape Island and vicinity, for the purpose of preventing to yon, in their behalf, an | American standard, the American flug;| thai flag which every true son of America hails with reverence and eothusasm, where- ' e»er and whenever its folds are thrown tu , 1 the breeze. | ■We meet yon as those possessing thai I samo rpirit of patriotism, a* those who ate > 1 ever ready lo protert aud defend that Hup. und that Union. May it be our firm, nndy-

ing resolve, trusting in the God of battles, .to protvet that lo.'ed cml-lem or our coun- j .. try's liberty from all aggression, whether it 1 lie from a foreign foe, or the polluting ■ i touch of traitors. May the' spirit of "Washington," our great standard bearer, the lather of his country, protect our flag, our Union and onr liberties forever. * And now sir, Capt. West, through you, •nd in bt-hulf of these Indies, 1 present lo the "Cepe Island Home Gnard" this "StarSpangled Banner," this emblem of freedom, svrnbol ol bravery, which has sn long floated over oar institutions and onr hearthslones. They bequeath it to yon, citizen soldiers, as the richest gift in their power to bestow, feeling assured, that while it is in your keeping, it will never he disgraced ; while floating nt tha head of yonr column, Uiry /sit their liberties secure. And thongh hard for wives, mothers, sisters, and those having tie* they hold at dear, yet with that I rue, pare aud holy * pi : it of pa- i triolism that auinimated their "Mothers of tha revelation," they bid you rally around its standard, and. if necessary, in defence of your country'* right*, your country's honor, carry it, at all hazards, in triumph to victory. Or. ir yon fail in tha attempt, fall y fighting around its itaftuard, beuralh ita sacred folds. Accept, sir, this token of their esteem, and when you behold iu bright colors wa ving over yonr company, may it, (is they ! feel it will.) inspire yon, as patriotic sons of ! noble aires, to deeds of honor aud tcnown. j i \ '

The speech was received with hearty ap- , plansc. " • . ! Capt John West, in. behalf of the com- j pany. then responded on receiving the flag, : aa fellows ; .Sin:— I have been selected to receite front your hands, this patriotic emblem, which the ladies of Cape Island have been pleased trr present to ihe Cape Island - Hume Guard, for 'their standard. It indi- j cates the fair donor*' loyally for the "stars and stripes, their desire for the maintenance and prosperity of our national unity, onr national liberty, and our aalionul glory In behalf of the Capo Island Home ' Guard, 1 promise the fair donors, that this j patriotic emblem which they have chosen | for our standard, shall, if called upou to go ' forth with it to join the legions who h*ve ! already pot on the patriotic armor, to lako • | part iu the mighty struggle that bos been j j forced upon our common country,— they i j loo, will he ready to express that high re- ; ! solve — **Wo will cast to the wind* of hear- : ' cn, that bright and streaming symbol of_ ; our national liberty and onr national glory." jJ j Or if it is to guard aud protect our > j homes against an dflttbssira foe, with this j ' bright and streaming symbol of our na'ion . ■. al unity, which the ladies or Cape Island . ! this day caused to be unfurled, it will ; inspire the Home Guard with a devotion to ' Constitutional liberty, paramount to all 1 : other worldly considerations. ! In the hour ol conflict, we can feel a con- ' . ti deuce beneath that (lag, inscribed us it is ' 1 | with sentiment* dear to humanity. With ' thai ensign before us. we cuutiut fad. as ' around it crowd all halloaed recollection* 1 of our National life, aud names whi.h come ' -disatn— ln-u* with inqiorishiihle gfory ; wherever we may behold It floating, it most i • make heroes of as all. God bless it wher- j ' it may float, and onr conntrymcn wher- ' ever they may rally around it. ' For the Cape Island Home Guard, 1 1 thank the ladies of Cape Island who have ' honored us with this standard, und you, sir, ' its presentation. The * Star Spangled Banner" was than ' i snug, with admirable spirit and ta*te, cans- ; u lurge hall to ring with harmonious

reverberations, and calling forth responsive j applause. f ^_/ i The two companies wei^Pfen formed in j column, the oflivcrs advancing in front, ; . when -the ensign, acconi|miced l.y the inn- I t sicinns and thu orderly sergeant, marched j up an down in front, the uRIceis saluting the flag. The singer* then struck up thai enliven, ing nataoual uir — "Yankee Doodle — which was performed iu the most animating style, and called forth, at the close, three enthusiastic cheers, which made tho hall ring. ! Three cheers were then given for tho i ladies, three for the President of the United Stales; which were followed by three for the ("ope Island Dome Guards, by the Cold Spring Union Gnard*. and a hearty j response from the Cape Island Homo !
