Eighth Cavalry Regiments Flag.

Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson. Of this city, has
received the. following letter from Mr.
William Gibson, Of New York. which ex-
plains itself, and will prove Of interest to
some Confederate veterans In Virginia:
New York. October r. 1896
Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson, Richmond, Va:
Ny Dear Mr.. Ellyson.-In discussing the
results Of the civil war with friend a
few evenings since he informed me that
he had in his possession a flag belonging
TO a regiment Of Virginia cavalry; that
he procured this flag from a sergeant Of
some Union regiment at Washington late
in the winter Of 1863. or some time during
the early months Of 1854 At my request
he promised to produce the flag the fol-
lowing evening. and, to my surprise, 1T
turned out to be the regimental standard
Of the Eighth Virginia Cavalry. 1t is
made of a white bunting, with the stars
and bars shown thereon. and there is en-
broidered on the flag in white silk the
words: white Sulphur Springs. August
% and o. 1863" There is fringe on the
edges OF the flag that was at one time
either gold or silver, but is now so dis
colored that it is difficult to quite make
out which.
have induced my friend to present this
flag to the survivors. provided there is a
regimental organization or veteran camp
10 whose custody it can be committed.
Knowing that you will be very much in
terested I'm this incident OF the great
struggle, and pleased to furnish the in
formation, and put me In communication
with the proper parties, must be my ex-
cuse for trenching on your valuable time.
with kindest regards, am,
Sincerely yours.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Mr.. Lewis Ashton. a prominent young
gentleman Of this county, had a narrow
escape from fatal injuries several days
ago. He loaded a new 30-breech-loading
gun with "smokeless" powder. and, go
ing off to the woods shot at a wild tur-
key when the gun burst into atoms. Par
ticles Of the fre-arm flew in every drec-
tion-"the barrels. stock, and all" II IS
supposed that dynamite entered largely
into the composition Of the "smokeless"
powder used by Mr.. Ashton. and it is re-
garded az a miracle that the young man
escaped instant death.
The most popular, and yet the most
Improbable. business i'm this part of the
country Is that Of carrying the United
States mail on variops routes supplying
the rural post-offices. Every four years
these routes are put out by contract to
the lowest bidders. and. as the time for
bidding has nearly rolled around again
there IS now a multitude OF men who
are just bristling with a desire to serve
Uncle Sam in the capacity Of mail-carrier
The mails are now carried from King
