FLAG PRESENTATION AT D)EH«ISV£LLE. ! * FjUKVQ Leach: — On Saturday last, ! the citizens of this pleca were called to- [ gelber to witness a scene, the recollection* of which will doubtless be long t And fondly cherished by those who par- . s tlcipatcd in It, and witnessed the monies of the occasion. , The meeting, which was held in Odd Fellows Ilall, was organized by caHtug ' "-JT. 8- Nixon Esq. 'to the chair, who 'briefly stated the object of the meeting ; no be the presentation of a flag to sonic ; > -of onr brave boys, who haro enlisted hi j - 'the service of their Country. u, "Columbia the Oein of'the Ocean " was sung in a happy style by the ladies, ! ood at its close, it committee of three of the -young belles of the town, stepping | in front of the speaker's stand, unfurled j the flag, which was saluted with three tremendous cheers from the audience, and the "Btar-Spangled Banner" by tho band. The scene at this moment can [ better be? imagined than described, and | none bat a down-right rebel in heart ! could hare beheld it and suppressed the j •emotions that the inspiration of tho mo- i moot was kindling in his soul. One, scarcely knew which to admire most, the | patriotic gleams of satisfaction Unit shone in modest blushes from the cheeks ! of the girls ; vicing in inlcnsi y with! •the varied colors of tho banner of beau- » • ty waxing gracefully above thetu, or'lho I Hag itself, which was indeed asoperb af- \ -fair, of heavy silk, richly fringed ami \ 'taueied, with its thirteen -utri pea- of red j and white, made sacred by the Memories j of a hundred battlfs, and its thirty-four ! golden stars, bespangling a gorgeous iTefd of Ultra Marine, ami encircling a highly ornamented scroll, which bears oil one sido the inscription — "Company B, Independent. Regiment, N. J.;" on the reverse side, "Presented by the I»a«. I dies of Brunbvillo*" It is certainly a | perfect gem in its way, mid reflects infi- 1 uitc credit on the judgment and tastes j of the yonng ladies who have been in- j strumenial in getting it up. ^ i The music and applause liaviaff-qeas- 1 ■ cd, the committee bore their charge to j the, speaker's stand, and placed it in the I hands of-4j*« H"v. John Jones, who, in ; **■ *urnk on -behalf of the Indies, presented, it to Cupt. Wright, of Company U , nc- : compulsing the presentation with one j of thoss stirrfng and patriotic speeches, ( which Mr. Jones is so well able to de- ; liver, and closing by nit earnest and elo- 1 <|ueut appeal to the Captain to stand by ; his sacred \rost, come weal or woe, and ! to see to it, that the Ibstre of its stars , were undimmed by dishonor, or Its j stripes unstained by disgrace. Capt Wright, on receiving the flag, j sniu briefly, that he was no orator, but a "plain blunt man," that his business wqe not to make speechcO, but to fight, . and pledging to the ladies his life and 1 iiohor to the defence of their flag, be in-» j trodoced to tliem Col. Bryan, tho commauding officer of his regiment, who, iu an excellent and well-timed address, in behalf of Company B., thanked tpem a for Ute feelings of kindness and regard snaoifested for the company through their beautiful gift ; expressing his confidence that their patriotism would be rewarded, by seeing iu recipients doing ^^kcood service in the cause of their coun^^■7, and pledging himself and his coin^^knd, that while a man was left of the ^H)iden Legion," no suin'of dishonor j ^Honld ever desecrate iu bright folds, or j ^Hftnith iu fair fame. H Time and space forbids any more I ^KftflUy nutico of tbe speeches; tlicv were | ■H very good — too good to be thuSaligh- I ^Bed — and were loudly applauded by the | ■ . ■ At tbe closn of the Colonel's address • ^Hii9 ladies nuug the " .Star-Npaugicd* j ^■hntner," the entire assemblage joining ; ^■i'.b good-will in the chorus; and with I ^■Yankee-Doodle" by tbe band the meet- I ^■ig adjuurned amid deafening cheers to j ^■<- street, :.nd bore the flag in jiroces- I ■uk through the town.

Besides Col. Bryan and Capt. Wright, > Company B. was also represented by ■ ; 1st Seargeut Uiclmrd 8. Townsend, 1 Seargeat Lawrence,, and a nnmber of! ' privates-attached to the company, all in ] foil uniform. ' _Thfc Deniusville Artillery were also DBw/hamL under command of their jfopular As^Licutenaiit Blenkow, whose ! ppod nfithredqountenanca, and jioldierbyicaring and management, helped to giro zested -the proceedings of tlremwtwhich, on the. whole, was conducted 1 j in a manner highly creditable to those j having the arrangements in charge, ' I wonld here also beg room to state I in justice to the ladies of the place, that i their energies and "good VH4 hare not been expended solely in the presentni lion of this costly flag, but have also i kept in miiid, nnd endeavored as far as possible to administer to the comforts and alleejatu the sufferings of tbos£ who are going forth to battle. ' They have already raised snfficietit funds to supply each of tho volunteers ! from this jdaee with good gumelastic * f blankets, suitable uudcrclorhing, woolen ; mitten nnd stockings, .a large supply | , of pillows, bedding, bandages, lint- Ac. i ! for hospital purposes, in fact everything I available that* can be furnished in the I line of comforts for the sick and woun • ded soldier. The v»ld ' spirit of "fi," seems to bo ' I fully aroused among them. And we i can wish them no greater happiness, or I richer reward, to their patriotic labors, ] 'than that thc-(Ug they are striving to ; { sustain, may soon float in triumph over : ! every fool of soil,, that the foul fiend ! of rebellion- bus dared to pollute.

McClellau for the first { time. he asked me several questions, with evident interest and friendly curiosity — ' not nqusual un the part of Generals in reference to their antagonists — respecting Gencr.il Beauregard III his case there was all the more reason for such , inquiries, in the fact that they were old fellow-students and classmates. To my 1 mind there is so-n . thing of resemblance ' between the men. Bolhsure below the j middle height. Tnfiy are both squarely ' built, ami' famed for musular power since : their college days. Beauregard, indeed, ; is loan and thin-ribbed ; McClellau is i full and round, with a Napoleonic tenj dency to etbonjuinl, subdued by inces- ] sant exercise. Beauregard sleeps little; McClellan'* to npcramcut requires a full j share of rest ; both are spare and Spurtan in diet, studious, quiet. — Beaure- ! gard is rather saturnine, and if not mei- ' | aiiCholic, is a grim gayety ; .M .-Clellan [ is genial in hi * reserve. Theydcusitv of | llurhuir, the squareness ofkthe jaw, the firmness and regularity of the teeth, and the outlines of the features are points of similarity In hugi, which would be more striking if Bcaregard were not of the true Louisiana Creole lint, while McClellan is fair complcxioned. Beanregard has a dark dull student's eye, the dullne:s of which arises, however, from its formation, for it is fall of fire, and its glances are quick and searching. McClellan has a deep, clear eye, into which yon can look far and deep, while you ! feel it searches far and deep into you. 1 Beauregard has something of pretensibn iu his manner — not hauteur, hut a folding armed, meditative sort of .air, which seems to say, "Don't disturb me; I'm j thiukiug of military movements." McClellan scorns to be always at leisure ; .but y»u feel at tbe same lime you ought . i not to intrude too much upon him, even | when you seek in vain Tor the gruunds of I that bapreuiou in anything that he is ■ ! doing or aayiug. Beauregard is more • i subtle, cioltv , and astuie; McClellan I >* more comprehensive, more learned, i , mure impressionable. Beauregard is a

thorough soldier j MeClaTlaiv may prove j hs is a great genera). The former only 1 looks to military consequences, and dis- j a regards ,>opular manifestations ; the lut ; r ter respects lire opinion «f the outer |-t world, mid sees political as well as mi,l- „ tary results in what he orders. They I are both the cTeaturcs of accident, so i '1 fat as their present |wsitions are con- : v cerned. It remain* to be seen, if cither ■ 1 can control the eurrent of events, and j " if in either the artillery man or the cavalry offi- er of the old Uuited States L army where is the stuff around which his- 1 ( tury is moulded, such ss- that of which I f, tiie artilleryman of Urienne or the lender I of the Ironsides was made. THE SOCIETY"OP WOMES. No society is more profitable, because c none is more refined and provocative of * virtue, than that of a refined and sensible woman. God enshrined peculiar » goodness in the form of woman, that her 1 beauty might win, her gentle voice in- 1 vite, and the desiie of her favor per- c snade men's sterner souls to leave the , • path of sinful strife for the ways of plea- , , snnlncss and peace. But when woman | | fbll# from this blessed eminence, and ] ' sinks tbe guardian and chcrislierof pure and rational enjoyment in the vain co- < quelle and flattered Idolater of fashion, 1 she is unworthy of an honorable man's 1 love or n sensible man's admiration ; ! but is then at least, but •• r A pretty plaything — X Dear di-reit ' / We honor the chivulrous defer/iec ; which is paid in our land to woman Tt shows that our men know how Wsre- , f ' spect virtue and true affection, and l^ul , onr men are worthy of such respect. — , Yet women should be spinetldng more 1 ■ than mere women toyviupislo theirjsocie- 1 : ty. To Ire our companions, they should ! | be lilted to "be our friends ; to rule our hearts, they sliouid hedescrviiigrtlifc u|i- ' | probation of ^ur m.nd; There are many such, and that there are no more , is rather the fault of our own sex than , ; their own, and, despite nil the unmanly < scandal that has been thrown upon them ' in prose fz verse, they would .rather share in thoTaiiointl conversation of men of sense, than listen to tjic silly corapli- ' meats of fools ; and a man dishonors 1 them, as weH ns disgraces himself, when he seeks that circle for idle pastime, an J not for tbe improvement of his mind an elevation of his heart. MOVES AK AMENDMENT. In.one of the St. Liuis chucphcs on a receirt Sunday, an eloquent divine, wfiiln earnestly supplicating at the throne of grace that peace might again spread iter gentle wing over our beloved country, said: 'Tut one hand on tha North,' 0 Lord • sniitlre other on the South, and say- to i the raging elements, Tcace be still.' j An elderly man from Indiana, a private in one of the regiments stationed there, interrupted the reverend gentlemen at this point by saying quite dis- j tinctlj : — "No Lord, but both hands on the South, and inuke her . stay in tbe Union." Comtnodpre Moulding and the how rebel Commodore Tainall were very intimate friends up to lite time of the late latter turning traitor. . M'hile tho govI eminent was allowing officers to resign, . the two had a long interview, in which Commodore i'uulding exhausted every argument to induce Tatnull to rentaip j in the service of his "country. But It i was all in vain. At tne closo of the , conference, Tatnnli pat the question — "What will yon do if we meet!" The unswer was prompt and energetic ; "I . will shoot you." Tainall doubted hit1] tors, and repealed the question in a depreciating tona^Jie received the same , answer with additional vim, and became thoughtful. - Tbe Government will probably relieve j I Commodore Paulding from his past us I I Commander of lite Brooklyn Navy i Yard, and assign him to active service- i , He is Tali of fire and zftd for the iuteg- ' i ; rity «f the nation.

The New York Timet, o( the 2 "lis. in commenting upon the operation) of the StolMl tlrcjsujg : A (lespateh from Washington gives as •urauce thut rlie stone fleet has gone on the very mission towards which hope spon- r ' luncnusly pointed — the closure of the ports of Charleston nml Harantiah ! As this novel expedition sail.eiT from. New l.orii|on and »'«w Bedford, now seven : : \lays ago. nod tho weather has been highlypropitious during the whole time, it is probable that it has already done its work, and thut the five amMweiity old bulk*, uithriie.r Stony burdens, scuttled broad- - ' side, hare" obliterated for year* to come i tbe ru/iwjwtelbise cursiMl cilies by the sea. It J»dj"t be confessed there is something ! aymlerfullv gratifying iti this silent, resistless piece of Hhadainalitlirun justice. The rulmnestof the method is line, ntpl a chef il'truerc id lis way; no vulgar theatrical ; vengeance, no luyiug of the city in ashes, as those heated braggujts of Charleston | threatened, -'rbnl a sileAt blight fulling on i them as though out of the night- -deadly. ! inevitable— and leaving those pcrhdious ; 1 cities in a petrified death iu life, to "point ( amoral or adorn a tale." Tiib Nkw Cowrdkiiatk Capitai. — The i Philadelphia "I'reiff.Mjl : "l'rom MontgomnpT) to Richmond, from Richmond to Nashville. — tiiree capitals in Uirce different rf tales, in only thri.-e three j months— gives oue the idea that "tho socalled.

In the last removal there is i iio small degree of vSlor — at least, of ilit- . p ret ion, praised by Fulstaff- as its better past. No doubt, the Rebel Congress did - not feel unite safe at Richmond, which is , too near our naval expeditions to la.- a secure place of residence for traitors." , Pmmntsu fox this A BUY. — The N Y ' l'ati compiles a most interesting article ; showing what it takes in material and costs fti labor and money, to clothe and complete an army of one hundred thousand men. — j Merely to mnkethe clothing for one liun. dred thousand soldiers keeps over nine ; thousand workers busy for three months, or ; twenty-seveu thousand for one month. — But this is iu reality <<ne nf tho smallest. . items. Those twenty-seven thousand cutters and sowers aro not a handful of the | great army which ploughs and plants, tends j tiocks urd herds, reaps, f hears lattens and | kills; or of that other which spins, weaves, I ' dyes, turns, forges and .weeds, iu order to { | keep this army in tho field. .What a delightful place to live in Orleans must bo ! the leVee# deserted — : ships rotting by the riverside — storehouses ' ubaudoiied to the .rats— shops closed ut , noou day on Canal ifud St. Charles street' — tbe gross cropping from lire chinks t>I ths pavements. Nothing doing— ho' vessels coming in or going oat— nobody huv- , ing any money — nobody paying bis debts. And then everything is so aristocratically ! dear! Fork $10 per pound ; bacon 33 and i40 cents jmr pound ;— and no "potatoes in the marhwt. In addition to this, crime rumpanl— drunkenness aud liccntiousnrst ! patting decency iu bbmli— a hostile fleet, a few hours distant, threatening to destroy the cjty. So early end ft terrible . haro i the fruit* of treason ripened ! Ou searching tho trunks of Mason and j Slidurt, at Fort Wurranr no despatches were found. li js believed that they were either previously destroyed, er banded f j over to the ladies of the potty. This, how. ever, is of little importance.* since Davis' late message to the Rebel Congress eslab* iisbes tbe fact that they were commission- , era to foreign Powers, clothed with anlbur. ^ ily from tbe rebel Government.
