z FLAG PRESENTATION TO THE CALHOUN GUARDs.N
Last evening st. Andrew street was the scene of
quite an excitement. Several ladies had assembled
at the house of Lieutenant Thos O'Nea, Of the
Calhoun Guards, to present that company with one
of the handsomest flags we have yet seen. Judge
Michael Hahn was selected by them to do the hon
or8, and well did he perform his duty. In eloquent
terms he referred to the influence Of the fair sex
as mothers, over the destiny of man. well as the
influence which tokens of this kind must neces-
sarily have upon men fighting for their rights
homes and firesides. Quoting history, and apply.
ing its teachings to the present hour, he concluded
ceived the flag in a modest and plain soldier-like
response, vouChing for himself, officers and men
to allow the beautiful gift to be stained with
any taint of dishonor. After the ceremony of pre-
sentation was over, the ladies and gentlemen pres
ent joined in one of those happy reunions which
| can only be gotten up by good fellow like Lieu
| tenant Tom O'Neal. 81,
| CANT MooRE.---A gentleman who came dow1
from Camp Moore yesterday informs US that tht
| 5000 braves in camp are all well, comfortable, ant
in high spirits, but rather chafed because they
| not yet on the way to the seat of war. Some 500
men are in camp, and it is confidently believed, b,
| all who have seen these men and the men of Lin
coins armies, that the 5000 at Camp Moore ar
equal in open fight to $4,000 of the Northern mel
cenaries
OF course, the boys amuse themselves in all sort
of ways to pass the time. The Tiger Rifles ma
be cited as case in point. They wear broat
brimmed hats, and every man in the company hf
painted motto or picture of some sort on his ha
which he means TO live, and, if necessary, die b,
We give list of their funny conceits, furnishe
to us by our friend:
A picture OF Nose, preparing to let fly with hi
left and fend with the right, and the words, Be-
fore was Tiger" And such hat notices a
these Lincons Life or Tigers Death. Tiger b
Nature: Arlington Heights. Tiger During th
War. Tiger on the Leap. A Tiger Forever. 7
ger. Tiger--try me. Tiger will Never Surrender
Tiger in Search of a Black Republican. Tige
Ready for Spring. Tiger, Win or Die. Old Ma
Tiger. Royal Bengal Tiger, O.S. Tiger Drumme
Boy. Tiger, Sure Death to Lincoln. Tiger on tn

the Happy Land. Living Tiger. Abe's Doctor
Tiger for Action. Tiger, as You Are. Tiger
Search of Abe. Tiger in Disguise. Old 1ige

The Tiger Rifles will surely make their mark q
well as the rest when they get into action.
OFF TO CAMP MooRE-Companies B and G, Gre
cent Rifles, under Captains Hays and Gilman, lie
