Ing her were such as 10 make II impossible for her
TO live with him except In dread OF her life, for
she has supported him instead OF having him
support her, by her own labor, as Is well known
TO many respectable citizens, and has been CON-
PEELED, from the proceeds OF her labor, TO paw
debts OF his contracting. l also testify that he

THE FLAG FIRST PLANTED IN THE CITY OF
MEXICO

MEssns. EDIrORs: In your issue Of Sat-
urday you noticed the claims set up by
benjamin S. Roberts. Captain of the Rifles
in the New York Regiment, to the honor
of having raised the flag of that company,
the first over the gates of Mexico, and |
was glad to see the rcfutation given to the
claim. l was with Gen. Quitman when
the Garita dc Bclcn was taken, and was
within Il few feet of him when he called
for the National Flag, which was supposed
to be i'll possession of the New York Rcgi-
mcnt. | myself answered that it was not
there; when he replied give me II flag. and
Lieut.. Scllcck stepped forward and presen-
ted the flag of the Palmetto Regiment.
Gen. Quitman said place it on the a1uc-
duct, and though we were within two hun
drcd yards of the citadel, surrounded by an
abatts and wet ditch, and firing upon us
with muskctry an.l ordnance, he did us he
was ordered, and clevating the flag, there
held it until Gen. Gilman, conscious of his
extreme peril, ordered it down again. That,
beyond IL doubt, was the first flag raised
within the city. Whether the flag from
New York Regiment WAS afterwards clcva-
ted from any other point, | have no means
OF knowing; but certain it is, that Gen.
tluitman, attended by portion Of the Pal
mctto and New York Regiments. was the
first TO enter the city, and -hc flag Of the
Palmetto Regiment was, as have stated,
the first in rcquisiion. My recollection
upon this subject is particularly distinct
1t may be supposed that | WAS particularly
impressed with all the incidents of AN oc.
cllrrcncc so important, but bcsi'lc this,
had Just come from preventing Il difficulty
upon the same subject at the heights of
Chapu!tcpec. When the heights were
cleared two officers, the one Lieut.. Pickett,
OF the Stl inf;.ntry, and the other, II Lieu
tenant Of the 9th, were both ambitious of
raising the flags Of their respective rcci-
mcnts. The Lieutenant Of the 9th WAS in
the act Of raising his flag, when Lieut.
Pickett who WAS an adiutan, ordered him
to haul it down. lie claimed that there w:ls
nothing i'll the position and services in the
9th miantry, to entillc it to that distinction :;
hut the order WAS resisted, and both officers
drew their swords, aud were in the act of
settling the question by the appeal TO arms,
when imtcrposin", begged them to rcmc1n-
Der that We were in NIL PROBABILITY stand
ing upon mine that would be thrown up
1T amy instant, and that every consideration
"l humanity required that we should draw
oil the men us soon us possible. They did
SO, and falling again into the ranks of my
own regiment, we were able to participate
under Gen. (luitman in the brilliant
achievement ut the BcIcn Gate y claim
has been made by one Of the companies of
the Palmetto Regiment but it has not been
pressed, as every flag WAS held to be the
flag "f The regiment.
