Iraising of the Americati n;ij: ankl
the dissappearahce of Spanish
sovereignty. No Cuban flags
were permitted to be unfurled,
but an ingenious native, who
seams already to have caught
the spirit of Yankee1 readiness,
tied the one-starred Cuban ban
ner to the tail of a kite and flew
it .all afternoon high in the sky
and directly over Morro Caslel.
A clever trick. It makes us
more hopeful of the Cuban than
we hare-yet been.

is some thing utterly repulsive in
thef thought Which is o brutally
suggested by Butler and others
al&ng with the pension giabbers
that the srovernment should give
to-the veterans a sum of money
for -the part they took in the
great conflict. In the Northern
arms,, as is1 iwIl knowjv there
weri muny hired;substitutes, and
therfe were many, others whpd
fougiit simply for the jpay they
received. :Ve recall this fact of
history not in derrogation of the
manv others who shouldered
arms'conscientiously in defense
of the Union. But in the Con
federal v army thero were no
hirelings and but few conscripts.
There were many hot head d
secessionists. who believed that
the ifnion should be' destroyed,
and there were many others who
were primarily Opposed to the
disolu'tion of- the Union Bnt
after the tir -t gun was fired at
Fort Sum pter all such differen
