CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG.
Gen. Bradley johnson Describes tn
Various Designs Adopted.

Gen. Bradley johnson Describes the
Various Designs Adopted.
A subscriber to the Sun asks for a
description of the flag used in the
Confederate States army during the
late war. He fails to state whether he
desires description of the battle-fag
or of the different national flags adopt
ed by the Confederate Congress. Gen.
Bradley T. johnson gives the following
account of the different flags:
"The battle flag OF the Confederate
army was adopted by general order
of Gen. Jos. E. Johnston, commander
of the army at Manassas, in October,
1851. 1t vas square red flag, with
st. Andrews or saltier cross of blue
with narrow white border on the
cross, with thirteen FIVE pointed stars
on the cross in white for the thirteen
Confederate States. This was the
battle-fag used in all the armies and
navy of the Confederate States. It
was found that it was not distinct at
long distances by land or sea, and in
1854 it was altered by act of the
Confederate Congress by adding a
white field and fly to it. By this act
it was enacted that. the flag of the
Confederate States should consist of a
white fly, on which the battle flag
should be borne in the upper left-hand
corner, two-thirds the width and one
fourth the length of it.
"Ti is flag was used over the Con-
federate Congress at Richmond and
at the headquarters of Gen. Lee with
the army of Northern Virginia from
1854 to 1855. In 1865 it was again
changed by act Of the Confederate
Congress by adling a broad bar of red

never used as far as known, and GER
tainly not with the army, for never
saw one anywhere. What is known
in song and story as the stars and bars
was an adaptation Of the United States
flag of three bars of red, white and red,
with blue union in the upper left
hand corner, with thirteen white stars
on the blue field. The State flag of
North Carolina is the stars and bars

And the Cotton Bagging Which He has
Made for the Farmers Of N. G.
[Frons the Ne.os and O5serperl
We were shown yesterday an arti-
Gle which can be seen at the store of
Messrs. Barbee & Barbee, No. 3O5
South Wilmington street, this city,
and which is to be used as a substitute
for cotton bagging. 1t is made by
Hon. Thomas M. Holt at his mills at
Haw River, N. c., for the farmers of
North Carolina The goods are strong
and durable and make a most excel
lent substitute for the jute bagging
heretofore used and by the use Of
them and like substitutes our farmers
will be enabled to throttle the mon
ster known as the "Cotton Bagging
Trust" by means of which few
northern manufacturers are oppres
sively seeking to suck the life bloed
out of our people. In the history of
this country there has never been
more shameless attempt to extort the
hard earned money of our Southern
farmers than the one this same "Cot-
ton Bagging Trust" is now engaged in.
Without any just cause or reason
but simply because they thought they
had the power-the parties engaged
in this nefarious undertaking have
wantonly and for the purpose of ad-
ding to their already enormous wealth
put up the price of cotton bagging

the fields ready to be gathered, there
by adding to the expenses of the far
mers of the South in the marketing of
their cotton crop at least the sum Of
| S2O0O,000. 1t therefore affords us
great pleasure to chronicle the fact
| that Col. Holt and the rest of our
North Carolina manufacturers have
come to the rescue OF the agricultural
interest of our State, and have joined
hands with it in its fight against this
heartless "rrust." Col. Holt is him
self one of the most successful farmers
in North Carolina and can always be
relied upon to lend aid and assistance
to his brother farmers whenever it is
in his power t. do go. We say hur.
rah for the manufacturers of North
Carolina for their praiseworthy effort
to protect the leading interest of the
State at critical moment, Messrs
Barbee & Barbee say that the substi

Verify, We believe the farmers o
North Carolina now have the "Cottol

matter should receive immediate at
tention, so that the mills can go t.
work ON the goods if they are approx
ed and desired by the farmers.

PAST AND FUTURE.

The past year was very dull one in Ly.
on county. This was owing to the closing
down OF the mills on the river for lack of
water, at a much earlier season than in any
previous year; also to the decrease in the
value Of silver, no wood drive, and lack Of
sufficient water for irrigating purposes in our
agricultural districts. 1t was a continual
rustic with all classes Of business men and
laboring men to make both ends meet.
With the beginning Of the new year, how
ever, there seems to be feeling that times
tons have recently demonstrated that our
tailings mills will rot have to close for some
years yet, a quantity Of snOw has fallen in
the mountains sufficient, it is estimated, to
furnish plenty of water fer all purposes next
Summer, and the mining, stock raising and
agricultural industries will thrive in the
Spring as they have never done before. Sill
yer City is coming to the front as lively
little bullion producing camp; Como has
lately given evidence that she has good
mines if properly managed, and Mason and
Smiths Valleys and the agricultural country
down the river is looking finer and attracting
more attention than at any former time.
Large amounts of money have been, and
will be put into the live stock business, our
railroad will probably soon make connec,
ton with the southern country, which will
materially benefit US, and last, but not least,
&c have representing Us in the United States
Senate two Of the most able men in the
country, and have reason to believe that
they will IN short time, or st time when
il can be done, obtain aid for us on the If
figation and silver propositions. So far they
have given evidence that all they can do
will be done for Nevada, and especially her
agricultural parts. We see nc reason why
our people should complain OF the future
outlook. 1t seems that it is brighter than
for many years, and we trust that every one
will put his shoulder to the wheel and push.
Try and see that outsiders give us chance
and do not handicap every enterprise that is
undertaken, and our State will become one
of the most prosperous in the Union, and
Lyon Comfy as prosperous as any of her
sister counties.
