A BlOOd-sfained Battle Flag.
HISTORY OF THE TATTERED CoLoRS OF TIL
ODD ILLINOIS INFANTRY,

ODD ILLINOIS INFANTRY.
OTTAWA, ILL, June 10. - The Associated
Press dispatch stating that there had been
found in the War department at Washington a
blood-stained, battle-wOrn flag of which the au-
thorities know nothing, except that it is
marked with the name of the SD Illinois in
fantry, creates deep interest here. The SD Illi-
nOiS infantry was recruited at Ottawa. On July
5th, 1868, the SD moved with Gen. sherman s
army against Jackson. On the 10Th the regi-
ment was engaged with the Sd Iowa and 2Sth
and 41st Illinois in the battle of Jackson. The
Odd participated in the gallant but disastrous
charge of that day, going into the fight with
200 men and coming out with go. The color
guard of men was annihilated, George c.
Poundstone was the color sergeant. The flag
was riddled and the shaft broken by a fierce
storm OF shot. At last to save the colors he was
obliged to tear them from the staff. He received
q canister shot in the thigh, but he stuffed the
flag in the breast of his coat. Then came a bull
let through the left eye, and Poundstone lay
upon the field drenching the colors of his regi-
ment with his LIES blood. He was found upon
the field by the confederates and removed to
q house at Jackson. When they abandoned
Jackson he was found with Capt. Bailey smith,
who had had his arm shot Off. but could walk
around. He died at Vicksburg July Odd, and
his remains were brought home. The surviv-
ors of the regiment residing here will take steps
Immediately to have the flag brought to the
state where it belongs.

THE RESULT OF THE SCRAMBLE FOR THE
QUINCY, ILL.,, POST oFFICE-THE MAN WHO
KEPT GOT OF THE FIGHT GOT THE PLACE.
The fight for the appointment of a postmaster
at Quincy, Illinois. has been animated and
somewhat bitter. There were numerous appli-
cants for the place, and naturally there is some
disappointment over the selection. A STAR re-
porter to-day called the attention OF Congress
man Riggs, Of the Quincy district, to a state
ment that he was given papers adverse to
hichardson tthe appointee), with the under
standing that he was to present them, but that
ne subsequently Joined hands with Richardson
ana suppressed the papers. Mr.. Riggs remarked
tnat there was no truth in any such statement.
He said that he was for Cleveland all the time;
that he endorsed his application and urged his
appointment Furthermore, Mr.. Riggs said
that ne nled all the papers sent to him except
some confidential letters, which We're not In
tended for filing.
A STAR reporter learned from a prominent
democrat of Illinois who knows all the facts
that the applicants for the position, with the
exception OF Richardson, entered into a regular
scramble for the place. They formed factions,
and not only abused each other but filed
charges against each other. Richardson, it
seems, kept clear of this warfare. He was not
regarded as a formidable candidate. and there
fore escaped attacks from the Others. In look
ing over the list ~ applicants the President dis
covered that Richardson was the only man of
the lot against whom nothing had been said,
and he selected him for that reason.
