Rumors and incidents.
The Philadelphia Press contains the following:
Mr. Editor: In your paper of the 1st instant is inserted a copy of a letter to a mercantile house in our city, from A. C. & A. B. Beech, of Nashville, promising to make an effort to pay their Eastern indebtedness when the war is over and the smoke of battle clears away; until then, nothing can be done!
As an offset to the above, do us the favor to publish, side by side, the following patriotic letter of Morgan & Co., Nashville:
Nashville, April 23, 1861.
Gentlemen: Enclosed find check of the Union Bank, on Manhattan Co., New York, for three thousand dollars. We would have remitted more to-day, but could not procure the exchange.
We intend to meet all our engagements promptly, war or no war! Repudiation is not the weapon we fight with, if fight we must, which God, in His infinite mercy, forbid.
Your friends, Morgan & Co.

Hymn for a flag-raising. by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe.
At the raising of the Stars and Stripes over Andover Seminary, on the 5th, the following hymn, written for tho occasion by Mrs. H. B. Stowe, was sung to tho tune of America : Here, where our fathers came, Bearing the holy flame To light our days-- Here, where with faith and prayer They reared these walls in air, Now, to the heavens so fair, Their flag we raise. Look ye, where free it waves Over their hallowed graves, Blessing their sleep; Now pledge your heart and hand, Sons of a noble land, Round this bright flag to stand, Till death to keep. God of our fathers!
now To Thee we raise our vow-- Judge and defend; Let Freedom's banner wave, Till there be not a slave-- Show Thyself strong to save Unto the end.

New York, May 3.--The mate of the schooner D. B. Pitts, lately arrived from Charleston, says that there is no doubt that nearly 200 men were killed in the batteries during the engagement, and that most of them were buried on the beach.
He says that on the nights of the 15th, 16th, and 17th instant, the steamboat which plied between the city and the batteries took down an aggregate of about 200 coffins.
He was informed also by a gentleman who had a brother and brother-in-law in the garrison of Fort Moultrie, that after writing to them repeatedly without obtaining any answer, he finally received a note from one of the officers, stating that they had both been killed, and that their bodies could be sent for, which he was about to do. He learned from various sources that the number killed in Fort Moultrie was 39, but could not ascertain the number in the other batteries.
He is positive as to the shipment of a large number of coffins on board the steamboat on the nights mentioned, ha

The people of the North have had good reason to complain of the hoaxing done by the telegraph; but the way in which the people of the South have been humbugged is positively shocking.
All over the South, they had, on the morning of the 20th, the resignation of Gen. Scott; his joining Virginia; the defeat of the New York 7th Regiment with an immense loss; capture of Norfolk Navy Yard, and Harper's Ferry Arsenal; the probable resignation of President Lincoln--in fact, the utter discomfiture of the North.
The Natchez Free Trader says: Forthwith our citizens thronged the streets, the bells of all the churches and public buildings rang out a long-continued, merry peal, sky rockets and other fireworks lit up the night, guns were fired, the cannon roared and the people shouted most lustily and harmoniously.
A grand mass meeting, gathered in ten minutes notice, was held at the Court House, which with its surrounding grounds and the adjoining streets, was thronged.
Speeches were made by s

The hoisting of the rebel flag in Liverpool.--A good deal of excitement was created in Liverpool on the 24th inst., by the appearance of a secession flag at the mast-head of an American barque lying at the Victoria wharf.
The vessel which has acquired such an unenviable notoriety is the Annapolis, Captain Pickett, from Baltimore.
We understand by private advices from our agent, that the American shippers at Liverpool were so incensed at the gratuitous insult offered to their country by the piratical skipper, that nothing but the utmost respect for law and order prevented them from hauling down his colors without leave or license.--London American, May 20.

A gentleman at Baltimore, Md., lately returned from Fort Sumter, details an impressive incident that took place there on Major Anderson taking possession.
It is known that the American flag brought away from Fort Moultrie was raised at Sumter precisely at noon on the 27th ultimo, but the incidents of that flag-raising have not been related.
It was a scene that will be a memorable reminiscence in the lives of those who witnessed it. A short time before noon Major Anderson assembled the whole of his little force, with the workmen employed on the fort, around the foot of the flag-staff.
The national ensign was attached to the cord, and Major Anderson, holding the end of the lines in his hand, knelt reverently down.
The officers, soldiers, and men clustered around, many of them on their knees, all deeply impressed with the solemnity of the scene.
The chaplain made an earnest prayer — such an appeal for support, encouragement and mercy as one would make who felt that man's extremity

the Stars and Stripes. by Francis de Haes Janvier. The Stars and Stripes!
What hand shall dare To desecrate the flag we bear? The flag of stars, whose cheering light Brightened oppression's gloomy night! The flag of stripes, whose heavenly dyes Flashed Freedom's day-spring through the skies! Our flag!
The standard of the free! Symbol of hope and liberty! The Stars and Stripes!
What memories rise, Whene'er that banner greets our eyes! By patriots borne, o'er land and sea, It led the way to victory! When slaughter swept the surging main-- When carnage strewed the crimson plain-- It marked the spot where heroes stood, It was baptized in heroes' blood! The Stars and Stripes!
What power shall stay Immortal Freedom's onward way! The heavens are the triumphal arch Through which she takes her mighty march! Her mighty march!
Nor shall she halt Till, like the spangled azure vault, O'er every land around the world The Stars and Stripes shall be unfurled!

an Appeal for the country. by Mrs. Ellen key Blunt.
[The following patriotic and impressive lines were written by Mrs. Blunt, in London, on the 4th of January, after she had complied with the President's recommendation to observe it as a day of humiliation and prayer.
The time, the circumstances under which they were written, and the character and associations of the writer, all combine to give a solemn interest to the appeal.]
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards man.
From lake to gulf, from sea to sea We have knelt in one solemn Fast, That God may heal our country's strife, Forgiving us all the past. Hear we no voice as we listening stand? Comes there no touch on the angry hand? Thrills not one heart-throb through the land? Peace, brothers, peace! Oh, by our homes so bright and fair, Where the Christmas garlands wave! Oh, by our loved ones nestling there By each cradle, by each grave! By the church bells ringing in the air, By the
