The Confederate Battle-Flag.

~ g4E ~~-1 &EEF p 4&Ai
A subscriber to the Sun asks for g
description of the flag used in the Con-
federate States Army during the late
war. He fails to state whether he de-
sires q description of the b~attle-fag or
Of the different national flags adopted
by the Confederate Congress. Gen.
Bradley t. johnson gives the following
account of the different flags:
1.-The battle-fiag of the Confederate
Army was adopted by a general order
of Gen. Jos. E. Johnston, commander OF
the Army at Manassas, in October, 1861.
1t was a square red flag. with q st. An
drew's or saltier cross of blue, with a
narrow white border on the cross, with
thirteen fve-pointed stars on the cross
in white for the thirteen Confederate
States. This was the battle flag used
in all the army and navy of the Con-
federate States. 1t was found that 1t
was not distinct at long distances by
Hand or sea, and in 1864 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-Hag
should be borne in the upper left-hand
corner, two-thirds the width and one
fourth the length of it.
This flag was used over the Confed;
crate Congress at Richmond and at the
headquarters of Gen. Lee with the
Army of Northern Virginia from 1864
to 1865. In 1865 it was again changed
bv act ofthe Confederate Congress by
adding a broad bar of red across the
end of the flag, perpendicular to the
length. This flag was never used as
far as known, and certainly not with
the army, forInever saw one anywhere.
What is known in song and story as
the stars and bars was an adaptation
of the Uuited States flag of three bars
of red, white and red, with a blue un,
ion in the upper left-hand corner. with
thirteen white stars on the. blue field,
The State flag of North Carolina is tbs
stars aud bars to-day. But at the first
Manassas its similarity to the United
States flag led to mistakes and confu:
sion, and the battle flag was originated
at Beauregard's headquarters. and The
first flags were made by Misses Hetty
and Jeanne Cary of Baltimore, and Cor
fCary of Virginia, for the headquarters
of Johnston, Beauregard and Val
Dorm, in October, 1861. These three
original battle; flags were exhibited al
the Confederate Bazaar, in this city, IN

Hints on killing Weeds.
FROM UNITED sTAEs AGRICULTURAL
REPORTS.

REPORTS.
First-Plants cannot live indefinitely
deprived of their leaves. Hence, pre-
venting their appearance above the
surface will kill them sooner or later.
Second-Plants have greater need
for their leaves, and can be more cas-.
lily killed in the growing season than
wh9A partially dormant.
Third-Cultivation in a dry time is
most injurious to weeds and beneficial
to crops. si /.
Fourth-Ayoid the introduction of
weeds in manure or litter from weedy
surroundings. Some gardeners use no
stable manure on grounds they desire
to keep especially clean. relying on
commercial fertilizers and the blowing
under of green crops.
Fifth-After the summer crop has
ripened, instead of allowing the 1and
to grow mp to weeds, it is often we'll to
SOW rye Or some other crop to cover
the ground and keep the weeds down.
Sixth-Give every Part of the farm
clean cultivation every few years with
d head crop, or, if necessary, with
fallow. !
