THE I" OLD FLAG" UNFURLED In FAYEfTE-
.- WILLIE.

!
MEssRs. Ep1ToRs For the past week a
squad of I" boys in blue" have been no.
ticed very busy at work digging In front OF
the Post Cammandant's Headquarters. All
seemed notwithstanding the extreme heat of
the sun, to take the most lively interest in its
completion On Friday, a beautiful flag staff,
80 feet high, made its appearance, and a
grand invitation to both sexes, to he present
at flag raising solved all doubts as to the
cause of so much enthusiasm on the part OF
the "pets." On Monday morning at 1O1
o'clock the streets began to be deserted, and
store-keepers were seen throwing the bolts
| on both front and back doors, and the answer
received from all, 1" I want to see the flag
raised"
At II o'clock the best portion of our COM
munity could be seen at Col. Cogswells
Headquarters, all happy and anxious to see the
affable Colonel. He did not keep them long
| waiting; for as soon as company K, OF the
9Th, in command ofLt. Whitney had arrang-
ed themselves around the stand and all was in
readiness, stepped forward and introduced
two of the most accomplished ladies of this
place, Mrs. NJ A. Baker and Mrs. Jas. Smith,
who after short and elegant speech from
the Colonel hoisted the stars and stripes amid
shouts of admiration, and for the first time
since the breaking out Vi Che Iepelloh Jul
country's banner was swung to the breeze:
Many silent tear was seen to start, and
the smile of satisfaction was to be seen upon
the faces ofall Col Cogswell invited all to
his quarters, where a bountiful repast was
spread, and all bowed humbly to the shrine
of Bacchus. Toasts being in order, were
promptly responded to, after happy little
speech from the Colonel, which was respon-
ded to on the part of the citizens of Fayette-
vile by Mr.. Hinsdale, Maj. T.. A. Byrnes
was called upon, and made some very ap-
propriate remarks. Everybody voted the
Colonel's hospitality unbounded and the
whole affair grand success.
The ladies' refreshment room was under
the eye of 1t. Whitney, who by his untiring
exertions and universal politeness won the
admiration of all the ladies. A couple of
hours soon slipped b. in this way, when
after paying their respects to Col. Cogswell all
returned home, to thank a kind Providence
that they had been spared to see that day.
Yours respectfully,
w. A. NJ.

Col Cogswell, of the Military Post at
Fayetteville, is entitled to special praise for
the firm and efficient manner in which he is
performing his duties. 1t is not our purpose
to make any invidious DETERMINATIONS, for
all our military officers, SO far as we know,
are performing their duties acceptably; but
when an officer throws all his influence on
the side of the loyal, and is jealous of the
honor shown to his country's flag, while at
the same time he is just in his dealings with
all others, we can not refrain from awarding
our humble tribute to him. Such a
course is calculated to do good in many
respects. IT encourages loyalty, and thereby
facilitates reconstruction, for the latter can
be effected only on loyal basis.
In this connection we invite attention to the
account of the flag raising in Fayetteville, in
the STANDARD to-day.

MEssRs. EDITORS ON Monday, Doctor
Thomas, together with large delegation
of Union men of this place, proceeded to
Jonesborough, on the line of the Western r.
R., arrived at o'clock, when the Doctor was
promptly introduced to the prominent Re-
publicans of the place, who had made all
necessary arrangements for the occasion.
We found about 5000 people on hand to
hear the good word, and evinced an eager
ness to get at the truth, in order to fully I'M
stand the position the government occupied
toward the people of this section, that new
er have seen before.
The meeting was called to order by nom
mating H. H. Howard as Chairman, and
appointing Absolum Kelly of Jonesborough,
and W. A. Mann of this place, Secretaries.
DIR. Thomas then came forward and adj
dressed the meeting for two hours. His adj
dress, as usual, was replete with indisputa-
BILE facts and gave full history of the
causes OF the war, the influences at work at
the time, showing conclusivelv that through
the influence OF designing politicians the
States were dragged out of the Union. and
they forced from their homes into a REBEL
ion In which they had no heart or sympa-
thy, and closed his remarks b. exhorting all
to lay aside old dormant IDEAS and come
out and proclaim to the world their inten-
ton to stand by the government and accept
the olive branch ofpeace. All were pleased,
and after the congratulations of the meeting
had been proffered the Doctor, three hearty
cheers were given for the Union The meet
ing was dismissed in the most orderly
manner.
On Tuesday the Doctor started for Lum-
berton and other points in Robson County.

WASHINGTON, June IL.
All the members of the Cabinet were
present yesterday when Stanbery's opinion,
regarding the powers of the District COM
manders, was discussed. The opinion was
approved by all except Stanton, who was
silent on the subject. Gen. Grant was not
present at the consideration of the opinion.
The opinion is adverse to the arbitrary re-
mogal of State, and, it is understood, NUM-
cipal officers.
Gen. Withers, Mayor OF Mobile, has an
interview with the President at three o'clock
tomorrow, from which it is inferred that
the Mobile removals are still undecided.
The impression which prevailed few
days ago of the changes of District Com
manders is failing. 1t is now thought that
the desired restraints can be obtained better
by enforcing discipline, which involves
| respect for law ana obedience from subor-
dinate military officers.

The District Commanders.

WASHINGTON, June 49,
1t is almost certain that the acts of the
District commanders, whenever they have
transcribed the limitations of the law. will
be reversed and the power of the Provisional
Governments restored, and that the function
aries of the Provisional Governments will
hereafter only he removed by Court Martial
or act of Congress. This is the decision of
the Cabinet, Stanton only dissenting by ST.
lence.
The probable resignation of the District
Commanders under these reversals and re-
straints was discussed. Such action was ap-
pretended and deplored. The point was
made, however, that these District Comman-
der were soldiers on duty, and that, however
unpleasant the duty, they cannot abandon
their posts.

This is a mistake, except as to the Con-

did this from one of two motives Either
he sported these CLOTHES to show his at
lection for the dead Confederacy, OF he was

THE PETITION FOR THE PARDON OF JEFF.
DAvIs.-Paul Bagley, the famous pardon
manager, is responsible for the genuineness
of the following letter of Governor Worth,
of North Carolina -
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT OF N. c.
RALEIGH June 1, 1867.
1t is represented to me by the Rev. Paul
Bagley, that Governor sharkey, R. J. Walker,
and many other distinguished gentlemen,
nave joined in petition to Jefferson Davis
and the President of the United States, re-
questing the former to petition the latter for
pardon for participation in the late rebel
lion or civil war, and also praying the Presi-
dent to grant the pardon. 1 do not know
the reasons that influence MIR. Davis in re-
fusing to ask for the pardon, and therefore
decline to ask him to prefer the petition;
but have no hesitation in saying that I
think humanity and public policy would
justify and require the granting of the par
don upon a proper application.

RATIoNs.-While these who are really in
want should be relieved, care should be ia
ken that the government isnot imposed upon
by the idle and vicious. 1t is impossible to
decide correctly in every case, but it is better
to err on the side of kindness than to be
close or harsh in dispensing aid. The Off
GERS of the Bureau here are treating the suf-
fering poor with much kindness. We learn
that as many as 1000 rations per day have
been issued; but it must be borne in mind
that persons come hither for aid from Gran
vile, Johnston, Harnett, Chatham, and other
counties besides Wake, in some cases dis
lance of twenty-five miles. The suffering
must be great when persons walk twenty
miles for little bread and meat, and then,
as in some instances tote it home.
Il is a mistake to suppose that rations
are issued only to the colored people. All
who are in real need are aided, without re-
gard to color, opinions or aptecedents. The
poor white, made still poorer by the REBEL
ion, and the crippled Confederate soldier,
and the widows and orphans OF Confederate
soldiers, are equally cared for with those
who can show the most loyal record. We
know there are some white persons who OPP
pose this relief, and say it "puts the negro
above the white man." This is peurile,
childish talk. We hope no calamity may
overtake such persons that will compel them
to apply to the Bureau for sustenanee for
themselves and their little ones The Blu
reau," as it is called, may have its faults, but
it has greatly benefited the industry of the
country by its regulations in relation tc Ia
Dor, and by the aid it is afforling in pre-
visions it is proving itself fountain of bless
ings to our forlorn and suffering poor:

Gen. N. A. Miles.

"Personne" of the Charleston Mercury,
who it seems was in Raleigh when President
johnson was here, in his notice of what he
saw and heard reflects on Gen. Miles, as I" the
:jailor of ex-President Davis, now brevet
General, stationed, 1 believe, in Raleigh"
The friends of "our President" (Mr.
Davis and rebels and traitors generally, have
been pursuing Gen. Miles in this way for the
last two years. This "Personne," though a
red hot Confederate, fought his battles at
long taw, and did not possess the courage to
meet Gen. Miles, in cause to which he APP
pears still to be welded. There are no
scars on the body of " Personne." He talked
while others fought. He was not even the
Thersites of the camp, for we have never
heard that he shouldered musket or welded
sword. If he had been honest or brave he
would have died in battle with the Lost
Cause" and we should not now be afflicted
with his cringing toadyisms and wretched
croakings
Gen. Miles needs no defence at our hands.
But we may state that he was in no sense
"the !jailor" Of Mr.. Davis. He was in COM
mand of the Department of Virginia to which
Fortress Monroe belongs, when Mr.. Davis
was caught and consigned to the Fortress
Every step that was taken in relation to Mr..
Davis was taken by President Johnson
Gen. Miles simply obeyed orders. That is all.
President johnson, in proclamation over
his own name, charged Mr.. Davis with the
horrid crime of assassination, and offered
large reward for his capture. He was cap
tured and the reward was paid. Mr.. John
son has not, to this day, withdrawn this
charge. 1t stands, in all its blasting force
against the character of Mr.. Davis and yet
traitors laud President johnson, and at
the same time censure his subordinate,
Gen. Miles, who happened to be in COM
mand at Fortress Monroe as a mere spot in
his department, and who only obeyed
Johnson's orders. Why is this Is it be-
cause Gen. Miles is still what he was, and
because Mr.. johnson has changed? Traitors
are not apt to praise true men.
Gen. Miles is not merely -" a brevet Gene
ral." He was a full Major General of volun-
teers, and was retained in the volunteer ser
vice. on account of his great merit, up to
the last moment. He is now a Colonel in
the regular army, and probably the young
est Colonel in the service, being only %
years of age. He is also at the head OF the
Freedmans Bureau in this State. He en-
tered the army Lieutenant, and has attain
ed his present high distinction by his atten-
ton to his duties, his gentlemanly conduct,
and his undaunted courage displayed on
scores of battle-heids. The manner in which
such a man is pursued by the adherants of
the lost cause" furnishes additional evil
dence of the wickedness ofthe rebellion and
of those who deliberately engaged in It,
