The Rebel Flag in Havana How i
was Hauled Down from Two Vessels
[ From the N. Y. PosL.l


From the N. Y. Post.l
The following interesting account of the
hauling down Of two rebel flags in the har-
Dor Of Havana is from an officer OF the
frigate Niagara, under the date Of TIC 10th:
Ono of the first things that attracted
our attention was the rebel flag flying from
the masthead of two trading vessels moor
ed among the merchant ships on one side
of the harbor. They faunted very brave
ly in the breeze. bat the feeling on board
the Niagara was that they must come
down.
BY way Of invasion and subterfugc, a
little ensign of the stars and stripes, scarce
larger than your hand, or than those sur
mounting cake at 18th of July dinner,
was fastened half-mast, / believe on the
spanker billiards. This looked like adding
insult to injury 1t did not take Capt.
McKeon long to make up his mind as to
his action in the case. A boat was in
stantly called away, and Lieutenant Por-
ter dispatched to TIE vessels, to order those
flags lowered. '''
The Captain Of the first vessel boarded,
on being told the object of the visit, very
fatty declared that he would not lower the
| flag.
"Very well, SIR" said Potter at the
same time drawing a revolver from his
bosom, "then We will do it for you. Boys!'
calling over the side to the boats crew.
"como here and haul down this flag"
The first word was hardly uttered be-
fore the boys" were all there ready for
the work their hands had deem itching to
DO, But the skipper at once thought bet
ter of his purpose and said he would do il
himself
"very we'll, SIR" said the Lieutenant
"haul it down, and take good care thai
you don't hoist it again"
The other, soon followed suit, much to
the satisfaction and no small amusement
not only of all on board the Niagara, but
of multitudes of others, both afloat and
on shore. The vessels are both from New
orleans, and before they can reach there
the Mississippi viii be effectually blocka-
ded, and if caught with the rebel flag OF
board, which they declined to give up
they will, of coarse, become lawful prizes

Andrew Jackson Donelson.

We have seen it announced in several
papers that this gentleman, the candidate
of the American party for the Vice Presi-
dency in 1866, has joined the disunion
party and avowed his determination to
draw. in the disunion cause, the sword be-
queathed to him by that glorious old pa
triot, General Jackson Well, men in
whom we had more confidence than we ev-
er had in Mr.. Donelson, have betrayed
their country, and we need not be much
astonished to find that lie has committed
the same great crime.
One thing, however, we have right to
expect from Mr.. Donelson. We don't
think that his fighting will amount to
much, but we insist that the little he does
should by all means be done with some
other weapon than the sword he inherited
from his great namesake. We chance to
have before us at this moment copy of
General Jacksons will, and VIC copy from
it these paragraphs:
First. ] bequeath my body to the dust
whence it comes, and my soul to God who
gave it, hoping for happy Immortality
through the atoning merits Of our Lord Je-
sus Christ the Saviour of the world.
Seventh. bequeath to my well-be-
loved Andrew j. Donelson. son of Samuel
Donelson, deceased. The elegant sword pre-
seDted to me by the State Of Tennessee,
aOith this inj'nction, that he fail not to
use it, when necessary, IN support a1ldpro-
lection cf this glorious Union, and for the
protection of the constitutional rights Of
our beloved country, should they be as
sailed by foreign enemies or domestic trait
orS. ...... .....
And now we say to Andrew jackson
Donelson, that he had far better cut hi:
own throat with that sword, or cast him
self upon its naked point, than devote i
to the service of those who are fighting 70

War and Wardrobes.

The latest instance of Southern chivalry
is the refusal Of Gov. Letcher to restore
the wardrobe left at Norfolk by the wife Of
a loyal naval officer. This gentleman,
born at the South. and married to a North
ern lady, was true to his flag, and left
Norfolk in some haste. His wife being
unable to procure her dresses, wrote to
Gov. lctchcr, asking his interposition.
The Governor makes answer through his
Secretary. that be learns that the officer
and his wife have cast off their son for
joining the Confederate States, and that
he reserves these articles for his use.
The lady replied that she had not cast
of her son but he was always welcome to
return home, where he would be supplied
with more fitting apparel than could posi-
bly, be afforded by the summer wardrobe
of hrs mother and sister She added that
her boy must be greatly changed, if he
would appropriate to himself the property
of others without right
This correspondence, for the authentici-
ty Of which We can vouch, certainly shows
to what shifts the statesmen of Virginia
are reduced. Henceforth we shall always
think of the chivalry stealing chemises-
the Old Dominion mother of States and
Presidents, dressing the wives of her great
men in laces pilfred from lady's trunk.
From giving birth to. Washington to the
larceny of lady's wardrobe, is a great
step, and this step the Commonwealth of
Virginia has taken.
