Ex-Govet nor W, A. Graham, as lstip
posu evry reading man, at least in the
United'fttes, knows, was an ultra Whi
under the old political classifijktion, and
always it violent opposer of secession up'
to the time when it became absolutely
necessary for North Carolina to take a
decided stand for or against the Govern
ment. Alter she had seceded it was very
difficult to get a public opinion from him
up to tie time when ft .became a fixed
fact thftt emancipation was to be one of
the objecte to bo acconpFtshed by tho
Federal Government, in. connect ion with
the lupjiression of the rebellion. Then
it became' evident that Mr. Graham was
getting more in harmony, with the Con

thia thnt "the .No"rth Carolina Legisla

time, prompted by his unyielding pride
of pinion and innate aristocratic sen ti

grown more and mote a secessionist until

ORIGIN OF THE STARS AND STRIPES.
From an exohangc, published before tho war,
we clip tho following article. It possesses much
histoi !" -1 Tuterest aud will doubtless have, for
most of our readers, the attraction of novolty :
Speculations have often been indulged iu about
the origin that is from whence came fho idea
of tho stars and stripes composing our natfonal
fia. Whoever has an opportunity of examin
ing the illustrated pedigree of tho Washington
family, willije struck with trie idea in a moment
that th j coat'of arms of Washington furnished
the flag of the country which his generalship
made indcpeudei;t of the flag of St George, and
entitled to wear one of her own. The pedigree
of (Jen. Washington, traced and' illuminated by
Mr. Gwilt Mapleson, carries back his descent to
William do ITerthurti, Lord of t!io Manor of
Washington, iu thenuuty of Durham, Eugland.
From him descended John Washington, of
Whitefield, in tho tin e of Richard III, and
niuth in descent from the naid John, was George,
the first President of the United States. Th ;
mother of John Washington, who emigrated to
Virginia in 1057, aud who was great grand
mother to tho General, was Eleancr Hastings,
grand-daughter to Francis, second Earl Hunting
ton. She was the descendant, through Lady
Huntington, of George, Duko of Clarence,
brother of King Edward IV., and King Rich
ard III., by Isabel Ncvil, daughter an I heiress
of Richard, Earl of Warwick, the Kingmaker."
Washington, therefore, as we as tho descend
ants of that inarriago, are entitled to quarter the
arms of Hastings Pole, Earl of Salisbury,
Plantageuet, Scotland, Mortimor, Earl of March,
Ncvil, Montagu, Beaucharap, Devereux. Tho
pedigree, which is full and accurate in regard to
dates, gLvos as it wore, an epitomo of the history
of the family. It is surrounded by a border,
ornamented by the shicldsof arms, implanted by
different ancestors in right of their wives, as well
as sonic of tho quarterings borne by their des
cendants. The ooat of arms o tho first John
Washington was composed of three stars and
three stripes, whioh form a partrf all heraldic
barings of the family ever since Georgo
Tashington was entitled to use his ensigu upn
a flag in tho army which he commanded ; and in
all probability the first one cvermadc in America
was composed of thrco stars aud three" stripes,
which those who were versed in heraldry would
at once recognise as the proper colors of the
Ccinmandcr-in-Chief of the "Revolutionary
ar.ny tho flag of Washington. In titne, ten
oilier stars were aeded nnd tho flag of Washing
ton became tho flag of tha thirteen United Colo
nies. Wbilo individuals still live who might
ha.-e seen tho 'first Washinglou standard un
furled, or who helped to swell the shout that
went up to Heivea when the thirteen stars first
spread to tho breezo over tho thirteen United
Stntes behold 1 the figures are transposed
thirteen hasv changed to thirty-two -a tenfold
multiplicity from the origin of tho flag ; andftvr
are aware, as they uncover the head to honor the
namo of Washington, and send up shout after
shout as the stars and stripes aro unfurled to tho
breeze, that the flag they adoro is the flag of tho
name they would houor the stars and stripes of
the arms and standard of Washington'. '.' Our
flag is (still) there," aud tho namo of its founder
is s.'ill hero, in our hearts ia the hearts of all
the people of tho United States, over whom, un
til the namo is forgotten, may no other flag ever
wavo, thin the stars and stripes of Washington.
Tlio Fall of Richmond.
There was great rejoicing throughout the
Nf-rth at tha announcement of tho fall of Rich
mond, tho press and people everywhere being
jubilant at tho near approach of peace.
Tho following extract, is fiorn the Vhirago
Tribune of tho 4th instant:
Tho rebel citadel has fallen. Richmond is
ours .' TW news sped through tho country yes
terday on iho wings of lightning, and lighted up
the nation with a blaze of glory. Four yean
ago this month (tip rebellion was inaugurali d at
Charleston, in tho' smoke of cannon hurling shot
aud shell at Fort Sumter. , Four years ago this
month loyal men vowed eternal war upon tho
traitors who dared to drag tbo stars nnd stripes
in tho dust. . Four years ago this month the na
tion entered into a solemn covenant never to lay
down its arms till tha very nest of treason should
bo reached and crusheS. 'fho vow has been ful
filled, the covenant has been kept. The bead
and frontof tho rabcllion has been reached and
smitten with ahe mailed baud of the loyal North.
Of all the places hateful to God and man, Rich
mond has been, for four lng years, the motst ab
horred aud detested. N t even Cbarlc&tun, with,
all its crimes, has been s odious. Apart from
its distinction as tho r'ebci capital, it hasso em
bodied tho spirit of secession, its press has beS-.
BO"infuriated and the pooplo so possessed with t,ho
devil of rebellion, that no other spot of earth cau
bear comparison with it for all the distinguishing
marks of abuuiiuutiou. Upon it. has boeu cen
tered tho animosity of every loygl heart x against
it have becu directed the nrost powerful armias
of tho Union ; in its defonso have been oolleoted
the utmost resources aud ability of the Coufcd
eracy ;; aroundt havo fallen thousands of the
bravest and-best of the land ; while in its fate, it
may bo said that th wkolo world has felt an ab
sorbing iiitarest.
Kichinoiid Jias fallen, aifd a day of jultilee has comu
to the whole nation. We do wall to rtjoiee, for this
is the grandest evant that ever happened to es as a
people. It nmkoa , littlo difference which way thu
remnant ot Ln' army has goao. If Richmond could
not be held, nothing can be. The struggle may con
tinuo for a brief period, but it will b a hopflletis and
f-vl'lo coiftrst. Thu lioart has been reached. The
reiTi-llion ia smong the thiugs of the pant. From tho
bhIiph of tho rebel capital wjll rise a imw lite to the
United States of America. Freedom will hencaforth
be the e r iwn and glory of tbo llepnblio. The golden
ajje ot America will date from tha 8.1 of April, 1865,
when tbo Hag of tho Union was restored upon 'tha

Extract Irom an addriss delivered by V. V. Hol

I have wid, fellow citi.uns, that agriculture is the
chief pursuit if nmu - ytt it is dependent ouand
iudifsolubiy connecter! wiih the mechanic arts.
They exist together, they flourish loqether or they
languish and decline together. Slight, neglect, m
jnie one, and you injure the olh.r. If the farmer
feeds us, the mechanic clothes us. If tho farmer
looks to the s il for support, and tor sustenance ..r
oihers, lie looks to it and labors in it with th im
plements which the mechanic has placed in his
hands. Kvuryshlpth.it sails ; every fori ilication
that towers 4ilong the deep ; every improvement
upou our rivers, lakes sin! seas ; avery town and rity
that adorns tho surfai yr tl e world ; evsty temple
dedicated to law, art, science, and religion ; every
telegraph wH, annihilating space ; every steam-rar,
uniting tlie interest and sympathies ol distant com
munities ; every telescope, sweeping the heaven and
bringing other worlds largely before our vision ;
every microscope, revealing tho hidden wonders of
tho world around us; every printed book, which
injorms, iu-str.ucts, delights am eleYatcs tho mind;
every fabric and con tri vauce which contributes to
our convenience and comfort, or which protect us
from t lie heat ol summer and the cold ol winter, is
tho direct result f mechanical ingenuity, industry
and skill.
Let uo man bo ashamed ol mechanical labors.
Somo ol tho greatest and best men that over graced
the earth with their presence, were mechanic. The
hard hand of toil is infinitely ruoro honorable than
the soft hand of sloth and luxury. JUther lei the
mechanic bo prrttid' of his skill, of his industry, nnd
of his usefulness to ninety. "Lit hirn bono Ida vo
cation, and din voealiou will honor hiui. Tho true
test of merit is in the performance of duty in
whatsoever situation we may ba placed. Tritd by
Ibis test, the mechanics and working men of Kortle
Carolina are tha equals of any and nil others. IS
true, gentlemen mechanics, to yourselves, to your,
country, and to your Rod. Da loyal to your State
aod to its iiitcnsts, as you always have been, and as
ynur broth, r mechanics 'were belore you, wl.o fallow

membcr that Uh.r of all kind, rightly appreciated
nnd justly protected ami rcwaided, is the hapyitst
temporal inheritance of man. Its fruits are enn
everywhere, hi-nciitling, gladdsuing anil blessing the
e.uih. Ijibor, of what: revtr kind, is I lie lifa of tho
State. When j prospers, all Interests flourish ; when
it languishes, all i'ntensts decline. Let us, then,
cherish, encourage and honor it ; ami let the me

flit Excellency, Gov. Flttchsr:
It saems that thare ia now no orgaciiao mil

that destructian of property and lifa is rampant
everywhere. Is not tire core for thia within eaay
reach of tho people thamsolves ? It oannot bat
be that evory man, not naturally a robbor or out
I throat, would gladly put an end to this state of
Things. A largo majority in avery-locality must
tool alike upon this sabjeot, and, if ao, they need
only to reach an understanding, one with anoth
er. Each lcavingaall othera alone solves tho
probUini; and .6urejy each would do this but for
ins apprcncuMon mat others will not leave: aiai
alone Cannot this misohievons distrust ba re
moved 1 Let neighborhood meetings be avary
where called and held of all entertaining a sin
cere pur pso of mutual security in tha futara,
vVhataver they may heretofore hava thaagbt,
said or done about the war orabout anything elia.
Let all such meet, and, waiving all alsa, pledge
eaob to cease harrassing others, Ind to make
common cause against whoever persists ia making,
aiding or oncouragiug further disturbance. Tho
practical means they will bast know how to adopt
and apply. At such meetings old friendships
will cross tha memory, aad honor and Ckriatiau
charity will conio in ta help.
Please consider whether it may not be well to
