The engraving is rather coarse and
blurred, but the appearance is such as
not to excite suspicion. On the right

run together, thus, poSto6ice; in the
genuine, the words are divided thus,

Presentation Of a Flag.

The following is Lieut.. Col. Woods
response in behalf of the soldiers of the
5lst, on the reception of beautiful flag
presented by the ladies of New Phila,
delphia:
HEADQUARTERS 5lsT RECT. o. V. L.
MURFREEsBoRo, Tenn, June II.
To the Ladies of New Phila., Ohio:
In behalf of this Regiment allow me
to return our heartfelt thanks for the
beautiful flag presented by you.
If there is an object in this world that
the Union soldier reveres and adores it
is the "Star Spangled Banner" the en-.
blem of the best government the world
ever shone upon. 1t was under that flag
that our forefathers fought and won our
liberty, and for it we are willing to leave
home and all its endearmen to undergo
the hardships and priVations attendinga
soldiers life, and to shed the last drop
of blood in its defence.
Nothing could have been more accept.
able and opportune than the receipt of a
new flag in this regiment. The old Ma
tional Color which has been carried ever
since the organization of the regiment is
! nearly worn out.
1t was indeed happy surprise to the
5lst Ohio when Mr.. Ganseman, of this
regiment, (through whose kindness it
was delivered) unfolded the beautiful
Stars and Stripes, stating thathe had been
requested by the ladies Of New Philadel.
phia to present them to the 5lSt Regi'
ment o. V. I.
Instantaneously there arose three
hearty cheers for the Ladies of New
Philadelphia. That was happy hour
in the old 5lst. As each man read the
inscription on the aag-"From the
Friends at Home"-he seemed inspired
with new feeling; he felt that he had
not been sent out to fight the battles Of
his country alone, but there were those
at home who were thinking of him hour.
ly, and willing to lend helping hand;
that many suppliant prayer was offer.
ed to that God who rules all things, for
the success Of our flag, and the return ol
the soldier to his home.
In reply to your kind note, permit me
again to thank you for the interest ta'
ken in the welfare of the 5lst. And
the officers and men of this regiment dc
pledge that the confidence shown TO-
wards US by the presentation Of this flag
shall never be proven misplaced or be-
trayed.
Accompanying this letter accept in
return our old National Color. 1t is the
banner around which we have so often
rallied and borne on the bloody field o.
battle, and on the long fatiguing march
es in the enemy's country.
We bequeath it to you, o legacy
Take it; yet we cannot help parting will
the old flag with reluctance. Neverthe
less, we know that it has fulfilled it
mission, and are willing to consign i
for future keeping to the Fair Donor
of the beautiful flag we have just receiv
ed.
"Take it, tattered and torn as it is
But in honor, unsullied."
l have the honor to be, Ladies,
Very Respectfully,
Your Obd't Servant,

Our Captures-TheR Rebels Hem
med In.

HARRISBURG, Sunday, July5. 1868.
At three O'Clock this afternoon, Gov.
Curtin received dispatch from Hano-
yer, stating that 10000 Rebels and
over 100 cannon we're taken from the
enemy and that Gen. Pleasanton, with
his cavalry, had occupied the mountain
pass near Chambersburg, cutting off the
Rebel retreat.
This intelligence is still further con-
frmed by Mr. Mullen, who has just ar.
rived from. Gettysburg, which place he
left yesterday forenoon He states that
Lee was then totally defeated, the Re.
bel army cut up, demoralized, and fee
ing before our victorious battalions. -
He further reports the capture of 3d..
900 Rebel prisoners Of war up to that
time, and the probable capture of the
entire Rebel host. The 10000 named
above probably includes the 5000 and
10000 above named.
In further confirmation the Surgeon
General of this point has intelligence
that there are 10000 rebel wounded in
in our hands at present.

The policy of the Mexican govern
