2 A WELL-woRN BATTLE FIAG.-In the month
Of February last Clement Tingey, Esq, Of thls
city, presented Knapp's Pennsylvania Battery, of
which he was formerly az officer, with an ele-
CANT silk guidon. This flag was carried by the

Chattanooga to Atlanta. Al the presentation of
this flag, the gallant boys of ghe battery pro-
missed TO return it only when II had been by The
storm Of battle rendered unit for use. The con
dition has now been fulfilled, and this morning
we have seen this relic of our glorious advance in
the Southwest IL is indeed taJtered aud tOro,
and speaks more eloQuenly than words of the
brave deeds Of It's defenders, and how in the fore
most shock of battle they met the foe. As Knapp's
Battery now journey with Sherman on MS grand
SOnlhward march, they may rest assured that
their tattered guidon will remain with US not only
as q rem6mbrancer of the gallant service they
have performed, but as a welcome aIgury Of
their complete and final triumph over their enc.
mics. The battery now numbers Two hundred
and fifteen men ready for duty, and more re-
crlts arriving We should call this a popular
battery.

The PREss CLUu.-The establishment OF the
Press Club in this oiJy has been the means of
originating the question OF similar associations in
other cities. The Fiushurg chronicle, in speIking
OF The club, says This association, organized
during the summer, now contains about forty
members, including pr0prletors, editors, rep)r-
teTs correspondents, and contributors. The object
is 90 promote social intercourse among the mem
Ders of the profession, and ~ secure IN inter-
change OF views upon the subject OF journalism.
Meetings are held twice a mon n, and az preseut
a series Oiessays are being delivered Oy the mem
hcI OF the cluh, each gentleman discussing some
topic connected with toe profession. Way cau-
not wo have a similar club here The inter-
course arising from such an association would, we
doubt not, proye q benei. e. the entire press fra
tcruily.
CLEANSING TIE FIRNOuST BASINS. The
work OF cleansing the basins at Paramount is still
progressing, and il will be some days ye, before
the ask ia completed. The operation, which is an
interesting one, is witnessed by large number Of
persons. Nearly every load that is removed IRON
the bottom of the basin contains large number
OF fish, some Of which are Of unusual size. They
are taken possession of by the Workmen, aud
those that have eaten of them testify that the
flesh is much sweeter and puTer than that of the
fnny tribe generally. This is no doubt owing to
the fact of their having been born and bred Ia the
BASIN the waters OF which have not been disturbed
for fourteen years, and which is much purer than
our rivers.
