In May, 1860, at the Anniversary of the American Tract Society, Dr. Richard Fuller, now of secession notoriety, uttered the following patriotic words:--If you Northerners dissolve this glorious Union, I'll get a large United States flag and hoist it over my house in Baltimore, and live and die under its folds. One short year must have wrought a remarkable change in the Doctor's views.--N. Y. Examiner, May 30.

ria, having gone 46 miles in five and a half hours. During that ride I saw four men hanging to limbs of trees. I had no leisure for inquiries, but heard in Alexandria that several Union men had been hung for expressing their sentiments at the election polls. In Alexandria I was caught again by a picket guard, who were determined to detain me over night; and, as my pass-time would expire at midnight, they determined to indulge in a little pastime of their own, and hang me at daylight. I bribed the rascals, however, with all the money I had, and a gold watch; and, stealing a crazy old boat for me from a schooner, they sent me adrift, and after two hours alternate bailing and sculling, I landed in a swamp on the American side of the Potomac. Floundering out of the mudhole, I footed it to Washington — a distance of eight miles--arriving at 9 A. M. Friday morning, and presented myself to President Lincoln, a beautiful specimen of the genus Mud-lark.--Albany Evening Journal, May 30.

The Memphis Avalanche asks the Cairoites if they are aware that the South has a company of bear-hunters awaiting their arrival at Memphis, whose special duty it will be to scalp the officers of the Sucker army. In reply, the Springfield Journal says:-- Scalping is not our game. Our Sucker boys are now on a grand whaling expedition, and if those Arkansas bar-tenders get some of Uncle Sam's harpoons in their blubber, they will stop blowing, and want succors. --Cairo (Ill.) Gazette, May 30.

Arlington House, on the Potomac, opposite Washington, is now the Headquarters of Gen. McDowell. The N. Y. 8th, Col. Lyons, is quartered there, with their battery of light artillery. The mansion is in the old Revolutionary style,--solid, wide-spread, and low. Gen. Lee left many pictures and relics of the Revolution. In the entry are the paintings of Revolutionary sons, painted in his old age by George Washington Custis. The dining-room is adorned with, among other things, three deer's heads, from deer actually killed by Washington. A fine engraving of the Duke of Wellington confronts a full-length oil painting of Light-horse Harry, the father of Gen. Lee. A few books and letters lie about, marked with the eminent names of Lee and Custis.--N. Y. Express, May 30.

o flight! Arise! arise, ye brave, And take your swords in hand; March on, march on, resolved to save Our Union and our land! II. See where our sacred flag is flying, Each star and every stripe is there; Oh, swear to guard it well, relying Upon the cause that bids us swear. It guards us well on land and water, And speaks a mighty Union's praise; Defend it now 'mid smoke and slaughter, Where bay'nets stab and muskets blaze. Arise, arise, ye brave, And take your swords in hand; March on, march on, resolved to save Our Union and our land. III. But is the strife of our beginning? And do we thirst for Southern blood? Oh, no; when traitors cease from sinning, We'll clasp the South in brotherhood. Though now the battle-shouts are ringing, And anger flames from every eye, Yet are we safe who join our singing, “The Union--it shall never die.” Arise, arise, ye brave, And take your swords in hand; March on, march on, resolved to save Our Union and our land.

eart rejoices, At your cannons' ringing voices! To arms! &c. For faith betrayed, and pledges broken. Wrongs inflicted, insults spoken, To arms! &c. Advance the flag of Dixie! &c. Strong as lions, swift as eagles, Back to their kennels hunt these beagles! To arms! &c. Cut the unequal words asunder! Let them then each other plunder! To arms! &c. Advance the flag of Dixie! &c. Swear upon your country's altar, Never to submit or falter! To arms! &c. Till the spoilers are defeated, Till the Lord's work is completed. To arms! &c. Advance the flag of Dixie! &c. Halt not, till our Federation Secures among Earth's Powers its station! To arms! &c. Then at peace, and crowned with glory, Hear your children tell the story! To arms! &c. Advance the flag of Dixie! &c. If the loved ones weep in sadness, Victory soon shall bring them gladness. To arms! &c. Exultant pride soon banish sorrow; Smiles chase tears away to-morrow. To arms! &c. Advance the flag of Dixie! &c. --Natchez (Miss.) Courier, May 30.

Flag-raising at Fort Corcoran. Arlington Heights, May 30.--The Sixty-ninth New York regiment, having transplanted their flagstaff from Georgetown College to their new camp on Arlington Heights, celebrated the raising of the Stars and Stripes. Near sun-set, Col. Corcoran having assembled all the troops, numbering over thirteen hundred, not on duty, he introduced Col. Hunter, of the Third Cavalry U. S. Army, who has just been assigned the command of the brigade of the aqueduct, consisting of the Fifth, Twenty-eighth, and Sixty-ninth New York regiments, and the detachments in the vicinity. Col. Hunter was received with great enthusiasm, and Col. Corcoran made some patriotic allusions to the Flag, and was loudly cheered. Capt. Thos. F. Meagher, having been called upon, made a brief but high-toned and patriotic address, showing the devotion Irishmen should bear to that flag which brought succor to them in Ireland; and to which, upon landing in this country, they swore undivided alle
