1ultor OF the Greenville(S.C J, News"
Our correspondent is mistaken in one
OF his positions.
About the twentieth rebel flag which
we saw was the one captured by the
ohepard Rifles" Fifty-first regiment
Ne" York Volunteers, under Colonel
(now Major-GeneraD Ferrero, when it
took Roanoke Island from the rebels
February s, 1852.
The writer is also mistaken in think
ing that he accomplishes revenge in the
name Of the Revived Cause. by send
ing US the new rebel flag marked c.. 0.
d., for he unrevenges his revenge in
sending US as the salve the munifcent
sum Of fifty cents, whereas the express
age was only twenty-five cents.
SO we are twenty five cents in.
What shall we 40 with this twenty
five cents?
II IS silver. 1t bears the name of our
country. 1t bears the American eagle.
1t bears the beautiful shield of our.
whole country, with the glorious name
of Liberty" athwart all its points. 1t
bears the graceful figure of America,
with the Phrygian liberty cap on rod
liberty for black men to rule as we'll
as to be ruled, like their white fellow
citizens throughout the country.
Shall We return it to Mr.. Williams?
That would be ungracious, since he
sent it to US.
Well, we will put it into the fund for
| the Grant National monument at
Riverside Park, in this city.
This will immortalize that quarter Of
a dollar.
But our gentlenaauly correspondent is
wrong again.
Loyalty isa living principleimpel
to action. 1t is therefore utterly i'm
possible ''that love and loyalty to a
dead and beaten cause are entirely con-
sistent with love and loyalty for tri-
umphant and living country for the
loyalty to the beaten cause would slay
the living country. And that is still
the pith of the rebel organization. 1t
is just as it was in 1S60-the rebels wish
to take possession of this country, and
then flaunt out that this is the same
triumphantandl living country to which
they have been loyal all along, for
which they fought for four years, and
which at last becomes worthy of bear
ing the proud, and holy, and war
sanctified, and immortal Southern
Cross and Stars.
The stars and stripes would then
forthwith be consigned to the grave of
Lincoln laws would be passed forbid
ding the manufacture, use, display or
possession of the heavenly banner, and
declaring every one a traitor who
should even pronounce the names of
Liberty, Freedom of Union.
The leopard does not change its
spots.
The cancerous spot of secession will
not out.
The Congress Of the United States of
America should forthwith act in de-
fence of the stars and stripes.
1t gives us certain amount of pleas
ure to accept the highest assurances of
Mr.. Williams profoundest contempt.
Yesterday the following additional
response-evidently from one of Colonel
Sherard's enlightened and patriotic
readers, was received here, addressed to
