ScrnDs of History.

Alexandria (Va.) Sentinel: The first
officer who reported to Jefferson Da-
Wis, President OF the Confederate States
ut Montgomery, Ala, with men for
service, was George Washington Lee,
of Dekaib county, Georgia; 7. o.
Stone Mountain. The first dollar that
ever was put in the treasury OF the
Confederate States was the money to
rive these men food and blankets.
This money was borrowed from Mr..
Knox, president of the Central Bank
of Alabama, by HID. Capers, and paid
Cupers, in gold, on the 10Th of Febru-
ary. lS6l--vide the books of the bank.
The first official line ever written Tor
the Confederate States was notice
published in the Montgomery papers
of the 10Th of February, and lndica.

the office of the Secretary OF
the Treasury of the Confederate
states could be found on the corner
of Market and Commerce streets,
when was signed by II. d. Capers,
chief clerk. 1t is a remarkable coinci-
dent in the facts of history that the
name of the man who first reported, TO
the Confederate authorities for service
was George Washington Lee, VINO
neither by birth nor any relationship
was connected to either General
George Washington or Robert Il. Lee.

WALLER Co., March ~, 1876. !
10 the Editor Of the Telegraph;
In your issue OF March I'd, | notice
an editorial in which you assert that
'fthe first Lone Star flag h0isted In
Texas was raised at Velesco on the Sth
of January, 1867 This Is mistake.
A Lone Star flag was hoistsd at Lynch
burg In 1885, just four days before the
appearance of the Telegraph, published
al San Felipe, and under the following
circumstances
When Captain SCOTS company was
organized ut Lynchburg he proposed
to furnish a suitable piece of blue silk
for n flag II would make the stall. i
acceded. and Mrs. Lynch, wife of Ma
thaniel Lynch, founder of Lyuchburg,
bound the flag 20 the stall. Afterwardr
Mt my suggestion, Charles Lance, an
Italian, painted thereon q lone star,
and underneath the star the word IN
DEPENDENCE. A company then or
ganizing at Harrisburg learned of the
flag, and conveyed to US the message
that the man who hoisted 1t would he
shot. The members OF that company
were promptly notified when II would
be unfurled. At the time appointed
two boats, each with crew OF seven
or eight men, appeared opposite the
landing with their arms. Captain
Scott ordered Peter j. Duncan, First
Lieutenant, to parade our company ut
the landing. He did 30, and | planted
the flag within fifteen feet Of the
stream. One OF the boats crew, in
stead OF firing as threatened, gave a
rousing hurrah then pulled oil, fol.
lowed by the other. was Second

| am ready to make ailldaVlt 10 this
statement, and believe John Inns, u
citizen of Houston, will verify it, as he
doubtless remembers the circumstances.

three.f ourths of mile OF the spot
where this flag was unfurled. l feel 1t
