The LATE FLAG PREsENTATIoN.-We
have received communication relative to
the late presentation of flag by the Cape
Fear Agricultural Association to the Cadets
Of the Cape Fear Academy, which is unac-
companied by the name of the writer, and
that we must, therefore, decline to publish
in full. It is signed by A Life Member,
and the author takes some exception to
the action Of the Association in presenting
the flag 20 this school, in apparent prefer
ence to the others. Bat oor correspond
ent must rCcol!cct that the Association ia q
body, aud not tho Executive Committee,
or any nero number Of members, but the
enfIte Association, 10y the unanimous vote
of the members assembled, resolved
upon thia course. This action WIS had on
the night Of Thursday In Fair week, 1863,
aud in regular annual meeting of the
members. The affair was published at the
time, and, We thought. fully understood
by all. Those Life Members who are SO
keenly alive to the interests OF the Asso-
citation should attend the meetings, and thre-
by help to regulate its affairs. The unani-
nous action of any body, in regular meet
ing, does not, under any circumstances.
Justify criticism or exceptions on the part
of those who could have attended the said
meeting but who vet neglected to do so.
