Mr. Smiths store, saw thu trumpet, and
recognizing it, offered TO purchase it, and
said he would raise the funds III the city
among his friends and acquain tances. MIR.
Smith declined selling it. but stated his
intention of returning it to the tircmcn,
free of expense, on the first favorable op-
por!unity. This intelligence being COM
municated to the President of the Compa-
ny, ut his request, Gov. Orr, on his recent
visit to Washington, called on Mr.. Smith
and received the trumpet
The soldier who carried Dff thu. trophy,
We understand, said that he got possession
OF it 'iatler the fight IN the streets OF Colum-
bia." AS there WAS no fight in the streets,
this is simply a-mistake. The trumpet
had been taken charge OF by a faithful old
slave of the President Of the Company,
and IS she was going down stairs with it,
covered up with some clothing, y soldier
caught at the basket and attempted to
wrest it from her; the good old negro re-
sisted, when he deliberately kicked her
down the steps she receiving injuries
from which she was confined to her bed
several weeks.
This is the true history Of the gallant
capture Of the said trumpet. We saw it
yesterday, at the store OF t. w Radcliffe,
Esq. and under tho manipulations OF young
