We had the pleasure of witnessing flag

gallant old sth Kentucky regiment by the
beautiful and lovely ladies of Sharon 1t was
presented in behalf Of the ladies, By Dr.. Cot
ton, with an appropriate speech, and replied
10 by Lieut.. Dennis, of the 9Th Kentucky, in
u beautiful, touching and grandiloqnent little
speech, in which he called up the scenes of
Fort Donelson, CofeevilIe, Bakers Creek,
Big Black, Vicksburg and Jackson, where on
Mississippi soil the blood of the heroic Ken
tuckians, has been poured out in struggling
IN defence of our constitutional rights. The
banner is beautiful and rich specimen. of
Woman's fair hands, and speaks to the tried
hearts of those noble soldiers, who have de-
serted their homes, families and loved ones.
and linked their destiny with ours. 1t speaks
IN cheering tones, that words cannot express
and says" what were the world without
woman's smile?" We feel assured that honor
will perch itself on that flag and freedoms
breath will blow out its folds, and cowardce
find no lurking place there
The names of the beautiful donors are as
follows Mrs. NJ. Gilmer, Mrs. ". Gimer,
Mrs. D. Gilmer Miss L. Gilmer, Miss M. Dan
iels, Miss j. Wilson, and Miss NJ. Preston
We.are delighted to see the hearts of the
ladies in the cause, and with such assistance
we know no fail.

ALASTOR-AN INCIDENT OF BATTLE.
Our camp fires burn dimly the snow falling fast,
Has covered the wounded, left out in the blast;
God grant may torn limbs from the cold
While the poor shivering soldiers lie close to the
void
Ohmany bright youths with their brows--0 so fair
Marched ont to the battle eld-they are still there!
Their light locks are matted their breasts are all
81 red,
And they SMILE Cor as brave they rest with the
dead
see an old soldier now brushing his eye,
His breast, although silent, heaves many sigh;
Nor love, nor ambition, ncr illness, know.
Gould bear to his breast such superIative woe.
At morning saw him march out to the fight
With smile that grew sad when the foe came in
sight.
He glanced to his side where an officers form
And proud smiling face brayed the terrible storm
That face was yet beardless his fair hair laid back,
And he moved in brave manhood to meet the attack /,
j noted his sire. when the shells bursted near,
And saw the deep palor, which somo thought was
His frame felt no tremor-the blood sinking back
To its home in the heart wends desoIate track. 4
II was grief and revenge that paed, then made red,
That old soldiers face when Alastor was dead.
Oh : sigh for tbs dead, ye cool west winds which
sweep
Der the fresh mold that covers the dead where they
OH comfort the sire who sees in that mold
Inc door % the house where Alastor lies cold!
