EDITOR HERALD:-Enclosed send
you the flag that seems to have caused
your fastidious correspondent 80 much
trouble. Mr.. John Quarter Bryant
says he cannot descend to the level to
which such language belongs as was
applied to him. '.Ye gods and little
fishes" the idea of him descending.
He could descend low enough a short
time eince to make an indecent expos.
ure of himsel: before the Normal school
students for quarter OF dollar. hence
the sobriquet. "John Quarter Bryant"
Now as to his testimony. Mr.. Benton
says he did not make the statement as
quoted by John Quarter, and made him
promise in the post Office to make such
explanation in your next issue, and all
that he did say was in a j,Ee. MIR.
Benton says he did not see the flag that
was ont at my house. Mr. Hill says he
has 10 recollection OF telling any onr
that rebel hsgs +" ere up, that he never
seen any. Mr.. Chealham says he
never made the remark that "Aleck
talks too much" Now, Mr.. Editor,
these men have been known in this
county long time. and think their
evidence should certainly have as much
weight as the del ctable John Quarter,
and until he furnishes the evidence OF
some man that did see rebel flags at
the time stated, We leave The epishet
