The FIRST FLAG ON THE MEXICAN CARL
ToL.-Qui,e a discussion took place in the
Senate recently, as 10 what Flag first waived
over the Mexican Capitol. Some severe
eparring took place between Mr.. Jefferson
Davis and his colleague Mr.. Foo,c.
Mr.. Butler said that Military men are
Jealous of their reputation. He did no, pre-
tend TO say what Flag was first hoisted on
the Capitol of ofMexico; but in the midst OF
the fire, General Quitman hois ed, no,
Flag, but IL handkerchief, and called for a
flag, and Ms first flag so hoisted, acas the flag
Of The Palmetto Regiment of South Carolina.
MIR. Foole had not intended TO arraign
the conduct OF bis colleague. but simply de.
signed 10 say, that if he had consulted him
he would hare awarded honor not only to
the distinguished son Of Georgia. but Of our
swn State. He would have furnished
some other facts which would have been
equally Interesting, and he had dcemed il
important TO the truth of history. 1t was
not perhaps, known to all that the relations
between General Quitman and his colleague
were OF II delicate character. But he inten.
ded no imputation upon his colleagues mo.
tivrs.
Mr.. Davis said that the flag alluded to by
the Senator from South Carolina, was not
the first national. but the first 7egimeutaL fl .g
raised. He had not supposed that his COL
league intended to arraign his conduct, for
had he supposed, he so should not have an
swered him. Any imputations upon his
conduct woull have been answered else.
where, but not in the Senate.
Mr.. Foote repeated that he had intended
no inuendo against his colleague. But if
he had so intended, and his colleague had
thought proper to notice it in the manner
hinted, there was no man in Chris,endom to
whom he would sooner have accorded eve
ry satisfied desired
After some further remarks by Mr.. rBor.
land. in regard to the claims of Gen. Worth,
on motion of Mr.. Dayton, the whole subject
was laid on the table. IL
