(Communicated.
The gentlemen, to whose energy and super-
vision this community was indebted for the
agreeable arrangement and successful carry
ing oat of the ceremonies at the raising of
the National flag at Hancock's corner, last
week, desire to advise certain, secesh heroes
that their very tarcatlic jokes and withering
sneers, directed at the old flag and those who
worship at Its shrine, excite the pity and con
tempt of those at whom they are aimed; and
only serve to show their hatred of the Union
and of Union men: and, were circumstances
changed, how far they wonld be from extend-
ing the clemency ana forbearance of which
they are sow the recipients. They are in-
formed that the wreath of glory won on many
a well fought field, at a safe distance from the
enemy, or in Q. M. Departments, and in the
silent conflict of determined men battling for
their dearest rights among commissary stores,
has fatted; and that this community will hard-
ly be able to properly appreciate the eminent
abilities and great moral worth, and suitably
reward the distinguished services of these
Magruder patriots. They are advised, In a
spirit Of kindness, to come down from the
giddy height to which their fancied leif-im-
portánce aud the peculiarity of tbe times of
late elevated them, to the reality of life as it
is: engage in the clerking, pettifogging 4c.,
to Which they were formerly accustomed, or
any other hemit avocation; accept the situa-
tion which they were í astrumental in produ-
cing, and will integíny.of parpóse and hon-
esty Of heart, become truly loyal to the great
and good government which they so madly
sought to destroy. BURK1.

A Kino for Canada.—It is stated
that a plan has been matured in Eng-
land to avoid «II canse of difficulty
with the United States about Canada,
by making British América an Inde-
pendent Kingdom, with a monarch elec-
ted by the people, bis throne to be
guaranteed bj several European pow-
ers besides England—Belgium, Hol-
land, Denmark and Greece, for oxam-
pie, with these potentates supporting
the King of Canada, and a similar
