HARD FIGHT OVER \ Rebel FLaG.-When
flags are captured in the hight Of battle, says
the New Orleans Delta Of April l0th. it shows
close and severe fighting. In the recent
bloody engagements near Mansfield. the bat
tie worn and weather beaten banner ofa Tex
as regiment was captured by Capt. Doxie, of
the 10Th Indiana Mounted Regiment, attach
ed tn tie First Brigade of Lees Cavalry, af
ter one of the most desperate hand to hand
encounters of the war. When the stalwart
Indianians meet the rough riders of Texas.
there can be no child's play. consequently,
we are not surprised to lear. that the ground
was piled with slain for the possession oi this
flag. which bears the Inscription . Texans
never can be slaves Capt. Doxie. the hero
Of the fight. came forth from battle covered
with wounds inflicted by sabre stroke and
pistol shot. aud is now lying in precarious
condition at the St. James Hospital. The
flag was brought down to the city by Col.
Brisbane Of Cen Lees staff. and was yester
dav presented to Miss Binny Banks, the
= daughter" of the brigade, in presence of
her mother at the residence ef the General.
The battle flag is very large one. fringed
with silk; the inscription which is partly on
the upper and partly on the lower border.
reads thus: 9 Texans never can be slaves. y
The flag was once blue. has now assumed a
greenish hue. Capt. Daxie. the hero of the
affair. is severely wounded in the face. being
shot through the cheeks he stands a very
fair chance of recovery. and certainly de
serves promotion for his gallant conduct.
