GENERAL ADVERTISEMENTS. NO FLAG BUT THE OLD FLAG J plish it. There are only two aides to the question. Every man must be for the United States or against it There can be no neutrals in this war, only patriots—or traitors ! • Action of the Presbyterian Church, A Short War or a Long War. "Occasional," the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, says: "Shall we have a short war or a long war? This is the question. Shall the blow be a sudden and a crushing one, Ofshall we resojt to ft slow, torturing process. In all circles the subject of discussion is, whether the contest shall terminate within a few weeks, or be protracted through long years. It is contended that gathering aty overwhelming force, and throwing it like a thunderbolt upon the traitors, is the best way to vindicate the good cause, to strengthen the Constitution; and to perpetuate the Union. My opinion is dearly in favor of a short and decisive solution of the great problem. It is very trye that we can afford to wait; that the Government is strongj and that, even in its passive attitude, look-, ing upon the traitors menacingly, and gathC ering slowly its. full force, it may starve and subdue them. It is also true the free States have so many material elements of prosperity among themselves, that they can endure while the cotton and tobacco States languish and die. But the longer our difficulties remain unsettled, or the more steadily a conclusive battle i» pushed off, the more danger there is of faotions iu the loyal States, and the more probability of involving civilized Europe in our own quarrels, and so extending the conflict to other nations. Of course, however this struggle ends, it must be in the assertion and triumph of free institutions, and in the defeat and extinction of the whole system of slavery. Jefferson Davis is, this day, a far more efficient Abolitionist than ever Wilberforce was, or Garrison and Wendell Phillips now are; and the men who obey his commands and repeat his ttrguments are unconsciously doing the work of the very enemies they profess to believe they are opposing. But yet, this aspiring serpent of slavery retains enough vitality and virus to poison the healthy sections of the Union, and to awaken against the Government jealousies and resentments that may fatally display themselves, unless the whole power of the Republic is speedily called forth to put an end to this strife. BUSINESS No flag but the old flag—the Red, White and Blue, With the stars of a Union unbroken and true; Arise and defend it? ye son* of the brave, Whose blood boughtthe banner your valor mult We give below, in detail, the resolutions of loyalty passed by the General Assembly of the Old School Presbyterian Church, recently in session in the city of Philadelphia, which we lave not heretofore published. Moat of the papers have given theip as originally introduced by the venerable Dr. Spring, not noticing Cthat they were considerably modified before their final passage. The prinoipal amendment made was designed to obviate the objections of those who urged that the resolutions, u introduced, seemed to endorse a particular administration, instead of asserting the duty of allegiance to the general government of the Union, no matter by whom administered. Although this construction was evidently a strained one, the Assembly thought it beat to remove all doubt upon the subject, and the language of the deliverance was so modified as to express in clear and positive terms the duty of loyalty to the central government, constitutionally chosen, without regard to the political party by whom it may have been elevated to power. The resolutions were finally adopted, after a long and exciting debate, by a vote of 154 to 66. Those who voted in the negative did so with a view to preserve the unity of the church, believing that they would thus materially assist in maintaining the Union of the states; and the fact is somewhat remarkable that at least one member of President Lincoln's Cabinet fully conourred in this opinion.— That it was a mistaken one we have no doubt. If the southern portion of the church is loyal, they cannot object to the passage of the resolutions. If they are not, they had better separate at once. The old Scotch Irish Presbyterian element of Pennsylvania, and the Union loving Presbyterians of the great north west, desire no affiliation with those who are seeking the overthrow of the best government the world ever saw. That there are many loyal Presbyterians at the south we do not for a moment doubt. In fact all the delegates from the seceded states upon the floor of the Assemblv avowed themselves Union men, and deprecated the passage of the resolutions solely upon the ground that it would impair their influence at home. But in the end we doubt not the action of the Assembly will be found in accordance alike with patriotism and policy, and when this wicked rebellion is finally crushed, the  alty of the church will stand approved by all who fear God and honor the ordinances which He has Himself established.

There is but one way to defeat this. In Illinois it is being so defeated by cloring up the ranks. War will thus be prevented on our own soil. While there was a hope of peace I was ready for any reasonable sacrifice or compromise to maintain it. But when the question comes of war in the cotton fields of the south or in the corn fields of Illinois, I say the farther off the better. Wc cannot close our eyes to the sad and solemn fact that war docs exist. The government must be maintained, its enemies overthrown, and the more stupendous our preparations the less the bloodshed and the shorter the struggle. But we must remember certain restraints on our actions even in time of war. We are a Christian people, and the war must bo proseouted in a manner recognized by Christian nations. Wc must not invade constitutional rights. The innocent must not suffer, nor women and children be the victims. Savages must uot be let loose. But while I sanction no war on the rights of others, I will implojp my countrymen uot to lay down their arms until our own rights are recognised.— (Cheers.) Snntoiw, Last Speech of Senator Douglas. From the Chicago Tribune, of May 2d, we cxtract the following speech, delivered in that city on the evening of the 2d alt., on the occasion of his arrival and public reception. He was escorted by an immense procession to National Hall, and being there formally welcomed in very complimentary terms by Judge Bryan, as chairman of the committee, delivered the annexed response This was bis last publio appearance, his fatal illness following it immediately : Mr. Chairman : I thank you for the kind terms in which you have been pleased to wclcome me. I thank the committee and oitizens of Chicago for this grand and imrising icception. I beg you to believe that will not do you nor myself the injustice to believe that this magnificent ovation is personal homage to myself. I rejoice to know that it expresses your devotion to the Constitution, the Union and the flag of our country. (Cheers.) I will not conceal gratification at the uncontrovertible test this vast audience presents, that whatever political differences or party questions may have divided us, yet you all nad a conviction that when the country should be in danger, my loyalty could be relied on. That the present danger is imminent, no man can conceal. If war must come—if the bayonet must be used to maintain the Constitution—I can say before God, my conscience is clean. I have struggled long for a poaceful solution of the difficulty, I have not only tendered those States what was theirs of right, but I have gono to the very extreme of magnanimity.MINNESOTA.!

Improvements alike in the accuracy, the rapidity, and greater range of every kind of firearm, are only bq many arguments in favor of n speedy termination of every difference between civil« ized nations. Thus, the Crimean war, ter* riblo while it lasted, was concluded in 4 comparatively short period, and thus, too, the great Italian campaign of Louis Napo? leon, which, (with all its startling incidents and consequences, thrilled the whole world, and added to the pages of history some of its hardest-contested and most sanguinary battles,) was in nothing more remarkable than in the rapidity of the movements of the combatants aud in the suddennes of it* close.

The wealthy are flying, leaving their property behind. The old are tottering from the homes of their childhood. The beautiful are hurry, ing in terror from their haunts of pleasure. The young are sent away for safety and protection. Husbands fly with their wives, fathers with their families, mothers, pressing their babes to their bosoms, with prayers to God on their lips for guidance and protection, fly from the sunny south, has-* ten from its hospitable homes, give up its genial climate, for the rude and barbarous otnes and haunts of the frozen north.—• Why is- this so ? Why are there no travelers going south ? Because the south is fast becoming the theatre of crime, lust, lawlessness and death ; where the right of property is no longer reoogniaed=~-where defencelcssness invites to outrage—where virtue depends upon the hazard of a diewhere beauty is made subservient to brutal lust—where order .and security and peace are in the hands of a mob maddened to fury by falsehood and whisky, and led on to vandalism and doeds of blood, by the most desperate and ambitious traitors and dema* gogues. The south is no longer a safe home for women and children. It affords no longer a refuge for the old and defenceless. It has become the abode of traitors, the home of usurpers, and tUe great source of rapine, robbery and rebellion. Its social order has been changed to anarchy. Its refinements have become pestilential. Its religion, a mockery of justice. Its faith, the assassin's blade. And its destiny, of a high reqown while in the oompany of loyal and prosperous commonwealths, has been changed to one of ignominy and disgraee, And all this has been done by traitors, in tl»e name oi the sacred principles of freedom 1 - CUTLER Y AND G XJNSy PRACTICAL WATCHMAKERS ALSO, SOLE AGENTS FOR BROWN & SPRADUE'S CELEBRATED MINERS' SHOVELS, SCYTHES, AXES, The Battle at Oreat Bethel.

STURDIER, A gentleman of respectability who came up from Old Point this morning, and spent some time at tho fortress during yesterday and Monday, says the passengers wero greatly astonished on reaohing here to learn of the greatly exaggerated acoounta relative to the repulse at Great Bethel. Up to the time the boat left last evening he was in conversation with both officers and privates, who were in the engagement. Some mortification was expressed at the bad management of Gen. Pierce, but none as to the extent of the loss, which was found to be less than at first supposed, or the character of the temporary advantages gained by the rebels. One of Lieut. Greble's command assured our informant that had an advance been ordered instead of a retreat, the battery would have been taken in five minutes more. Lieut. Greble had silenced all their guns but one rifled oannon, which was fired with great rapidity, and concentrated entirely on his oommand. This gun was worked well, but all the rest were badly managed, their balls cutting off the tops of limbs of trees, over the heads of the soldiers. Had the battery been well supplied with experienced gunners, no doubt the loss would have teen heavy. Lieut. Greblo spiked his gun at the moment he received orders to retreat, it is supposed, on account of his surprise at the orders, presuming Gen. Pierce had discovered attempts to cut him off, and that if his gun should be captured in retreat he would make it harmless. He had just driven the spike home when he was killed by a ball striking him on the back of the head. *A.nd EDGE TOOLS, 219 Greenwich Street, near Vesey St., NEW YORK.

"Can't Cheat the Projession."—An Eastern paper, speaking of a man who was unable to procure medical attendance, says :— "He died without the aid of a physician and such instances are very rare. Suoh conduot is discouraged- If a man dieg without the aid of a physician, the ooroner prooeeds to infliot post mortem vengeance upon him. He calls not one but two or three dootora, who proceed to vindicate the alight on their profession. They rip open the unfortunate s body, and if the deceased complained of a pain in his stomach a short time previous to his death, they saw his skull in two and remove the brain for microscopio inspection. His stomach is removed for chemical inspection, and never brought back again.

When the history of the two years from the Lecompton charter down to the late Presidential election shall bo written, it will be shown that the soheme was deliberately made to break up this Union. They desired a northern Republican to bo elected by a purely northern vote, and then assign this fact as a reason why the sections may not longer live together.

The number of Zouaves killed was live, and wounded twenty. Seven are missing. They attribute their heavy loss to their bright uniforms, while the regulars attribute it to their superior bravery.
