OUR FLAG.

"Our flag" being n very popular sub
ject at all times, and now in particu'
lar has given rise to a sketch of its Or
igin, design and formation. This pam
phlet We have received, and find the
following statements of the History
of the design of the present flag of the
United States" 1t seems it was de,
signed by Capt. Samuel G. Reid, de-
fender of the priyateer General Arm
strong, and made at his house, in New
York, by his wife and q number of
young ladies. The design was adopt
ed by an act of Congress of April 4,
1918, and the new flag was first hoist
ed on the capitol at Washington 18th
of April, 1918. A resolution, ack-
nowlcdging Capt. Reid the author of
the flag, and presenting him the thanks
of Congress, has been pending for sew
eral sessions and his claim for the loss
Of his vessel has been on the private
calender for the last half century, and
not paid yet Charleston Mercury.
To the above we add, that not only
was Capt. Reid the designer of the
flag, but no more gallant officer ever
nailed it to the mast, or fought his
ship under it to the last stick. The
brave old man we fear, is somewhat
ashamed, this moment, that his flag is
subjected to such usage at the hands
of British spitfres in the Gulf. lie
did not intend his Stars and Stripes for
this. Not for this did he haunt it in
the face of British feet from the
peak of his little General Armstrong
and keep it flying there till the harbor
of Fayal was red with the blood Of our
Anglo Saxon cousins. --
The lino.of-battle ship Plantagenct,
the Frigato Rota, and the brig Carna-
ton, OF IL guns, all fell upon the brig
General Armstrong 1t is true there
was war; and she was q privateer and
lawfully theirs if they could clutch
her on the open sea. But she could
lilo in shallower water than the great
ships, she boosted seven guns, and was
commanded by Samuel Reid. The
first attack was by four large Launches
carrying forty men each, at s o'clock
at night. They were driven of with
heavy loss. Midnight came, and with
it "fourteen launches, and force Of
800 men," They surrounded the little
brig, and attempted to board her, to
port and starboard, stem and stern;
the boarding pixies were met by cutlas.
ses and the boarders, as they sprang
up the bulwark with u British cheer,
found pistol muzzles at their heads. -
Within all hour tho fourteen launches
departed minus half their men, and

the privuteer's flag floated still. Day.
break brought the Carnation and reg
ular sea fight. The Carnation was so
cut up that she retired out Of reach !;
and then Captain Reid scuttled his
brig to prevent her being brought of
as q prize, and abandoned her. "She
was afterwards boarded by tho British
and set on fire." Truly they had earn.

But Capt. Reid, he had earned sure

The late President Monroe.

The remains of this distinguished
and en'inently patriotic son of the
Old Dominion have been removed
from tho city Of New York, where
they had lain for some twenty seven
years, to Hollywood Cemetery, at
Richmond, Va, where they were sol
cmnly inferred on the 9Th Of July.
On first page will be found two
speeches of Gov. Wise on the occa-
sion-one at the Cemetery, the other
at the dinner Mt Warwick & Banks
dales' large mill. They are highly
interesting and appropriate produc-
tons, Astounding in flights of bril-
liant oratory. ... ......
We yield to no one in reverence
for the memory of the great and the
good. In doing them honor we claim
only that the rules Of consistency be
preserved. Mr.. Monroe died poor.
He died with his country in his debt
not for his many and distinguished
services alone, but for money advan-
ccd out of his private funds. If the
money expended in this tinsellcd pa
geantry had been raised and paid to
him, in liquidation of what the pub
lie justly owed him, after his retire
ment from the Presidency, it would
have enabled him to live in comfort,
and to have died in peace, on the bo-
som of his beloved Virginia. We
should then have been spared the
painful inconsistency as exhibited be-
tween ingratitude to the Icing patri-
OF and honor to the dead exile.
But what is done is done, and it
is we'll. Virginia gave the Union a
patriot, and the world a man. She
could do no more, and he could have
been no less. History shas attested it
by giving him niche in her Temple
of 1mmortals. ..
The proud old Mother has called
back her exile, and taken him to her
own bosom to rest. Let the sacred
spot be shrine forever. Blue Ridge
