THE BATTERY AND IT'S FLAG,

1AII OiA h4NI AlS E.lt1Nrs
The Louisiana Guard Battery was
one the famous batteries of the Con-
federacy. It was composed Of the
flower of chivalry Of New Orleans and
was commanded by Captain G. E. Gil
rardey. Immediately on the outbreak
Of hostilities the command volunteered
its services to the Confederacy and
was stationed during the first year Of
war at Norfolk, during which time its
members became intimately acquaint-
ed with our people,. Among the COM
mand was Major Walter T. Irvine.
The flag is very beautiful one, in
size about six feet by four, and Of
green silk. On one side is an en-
broidered wreath, in the centre Of
which is the inscription, presented to
the Louisiana Guard Artillery by the
Ladies Of New Orleans. 1861" On
the diverse side is beautifully panied
insoil colors the coat Of arms Of the
State Of Louisiana.

AN HISTORIC FLAG.
TO BE RETURNED TO LOUISIANA
WITH APPROPRIATE HoNoRs.
FLAG OF TIE LOUISIANA GUAED-A PR
CIOTS RELIC.
[Forfolk Virginian, March 81

L
Yesterday afternoon. there was a
special meeting of Pickett Buchanan
Camp, held at their hall in Academy
of Music building, Commander Sam
uel Hodges in the chair, and Captain
Washington Taylor acted as secretary.
The Commander stated that tie meet
ing was called at the request of the,
Monumental Committee in reference
to matter they thought appropriate
FOR the Camp to take action on.
NJ. Glenncn, president Of the mon
umental committee, stated that at a
recent meeting OF the committee Ma
jor Walter T. Irvine had incidently
alluded to request he had received
from u representative of the Louisiana
Guard Artillery of New Orleans, ask
ing him if he would not make a sac
rifce Of his feelings in compliance
with the wish of his old comrades and
return to them the war-worn banner
of tie battery that had been t1nanim-
ously entrusted to Major Irvine by his
comrades on the field Of Appomattox.
The letter said: 'We would like to
have it, with the war relics of the
Army of Northern Virginia, as coming
from you. All your old comrades
will be very grateful, and it will be
appreciated as a sacrifice you have
made for them
Mr.. Glennen stated that the flag
was an historic one. It was one Of
the very first presented by the ladies
of the South to Il Confederate COM
mand. It had been blessed with i'm
posing ceremonies in the Cathedral Of
New Orleans, and fair ladies Of that
city had stood sponsors for its care.
Mrs. Davis, the widow Of the lamented
and loved president of the confedera-
cy, had decorated it, and it had been
carried from New Orleans to Norfolk,
and all through the war in many a
bloody contest, and had never been
dishonered or surrendered. On the
field Of Appomattox it had been unan-
imously presented to our honored cit
izen and comrade, Major Walter F.
Irvine, and since then sacredly pre-
served by him as an heirloom to hand
down to his children. It was q cons
picuous part of the decorations in the
Academy Of Music on the occasion Of
the memorial services in respect to the
memory of Jefferson Davis. Major
Irvine intended making the sacrifice
and restoring it to his old comrades
The monument committee considered
that it would be fitting and appro-
pirate testimonial Of fraternal respect
if guard Of honor to the flag, repres-
enting the Confederate veterans Of
Virginia, escort Major Irvine to New
Orleans on the occasion of his contem-
plated visit to that city to return the
flag, and IN compliance with the wish
the matter was referred4to the Camp.

Secretary Proctor and the Guide.

A sedate. elderly gentleman crosses from the
state, war and navy buildings to the white
house several times a week, writes the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Sun.
He has tall figure and kindly face, and any
one seeing him once would recognize him again
that is, anybody except a Washington guide
Probably the stupdest sharpers are the guides

They have been known to accoSt the sumo per

There is a deep warning for those who
believe that the future can be foretold by
the turning of a card or reading the stars
in the case of Jennie Mcdonald, of Dn-
quesne, Pa, who committed suicide after
consulting a fortune teller. She was TO
have been married Aug. g. The charlatan
told her that, instead of being bride on that
day, she would be dead aud her wedding
dress would be her shroud. This so preyed
on her mind that a few days later she
jumped into the river and drowned herself.
When the calling of this class of advent
urers reaches the stage of endaugering the
existence of their victims it is time for the
authorities to ste? in and devise ways and
means to stop their nefarious business.

Chilli has caught the revolutionary fever,
and a somewhat similar outbreak to that
which occurred in Argentine is threatened
there. Accounts from Santiago show that
large amount of property was destroyed
in that city. The report stated that the
outbreak was caused by labor troubles, but
like all reports of this kind from Latin =
American countries, it is, no doubt, mis-
leading, and does not give a true staten ent
of the situation. All Indications point to a
revolution, however. The charge is made
that President Baleaaceda is selling the
presidency, aud that he intends to make
himself dictator. The riots are the fore
runners of the impending storm which may
be expected to break out with sudden fury
at any time.

THE TRADE REVIEW.

For years, on the opening Of each sue
ceeding season, there has been presented
evidence of large increase in Savannahs
business. Heretofore this increase has been
due to the natural growth of Savannah's
tributary territory, a better understanding
of her commercial advantages, and the
gradual enlargement Of her two great rail
road systems These things will continue to
contribute to her growth and prosperity,
and in addition to them, there are others,
which have recently come into existence,
that will make the business year of 1S9O-91
more notable than any preceding one in her
history.
Since the last trade review of the MORN
ING NEWS there have been built three new
and important railroads TO Savannah, or to
connect with her railroad systems. They
are the Alabama Midland, the Savannah
and Western, and the Savannah, Americas
end Montgomery. These railroads have
already brought hundreds of buyers to
Savannah and increased her trade greatly.
But the number of buyers and the amount
of trade which these new railroads will
contribute to her markets when the crops
now in the fields tributary to them are
harvested will be many times larger The
people will have money then and they will
seek Savannah to supply their wants.
The advanced condition of the cotton crop
iustifies the opinion that the business season
will open early and with great activity.
The people are already thinking, probably,
OF what they will buy with the fruits of
their labor. They are scanning the columns
of the MORNING News 20 SEQ who are the
live and progressive business men of Savan-
nah and what they are offering for sale.
There is large and lucrative trade to be
secured from the territory which the new
railroads have made tributary to Savan-
nah, as well as from the territory which has
heretofore been tributary to her. If our
merchants are wise they will not neglect the
only proper method of getting this trade.
That method is liberal advertising.
The MORNING NEWS proposes to make
special effort to reach every buyer in the
new field that has been opened by Savan-
nah's enterprise. The agents of the MORN
ING News are travelling through the coun-
try, and the people are taking the paper
just as rapidly as the mail facilities which
are being established permit them to-
1t is proposed to send copy of the trade
review to each subscriber to the WEEKLY
NEWS, as well as to each subscriber to the
daily, thus giving advertisers the benefit of
both editions at little more than the usual
price of one.
An advertisement in a newspaper is an iu-
vitation to buyers to call. 1t virtually says,
when you are in town please call on US
We have all these things to show you"
The annual review will contain the usual
resume of tue business of the city for the
last year. 1t will be sent to thousands OF
people who are interested in Savannah's
welfare and prosperity.
The Trade Review edition will be issued
Sept 4. Space in its columns can be OBJ
tanned upon application to the business
