man who had SO gallantly defended
them
They were thereupon placed in a
strong box and for four years remained
in the vaults of the Metropolitan bank.
But on the fourth anniversary of the
evacuation of the fort, April IA, 1865,
the flag WAS again raised over Sumter
by Maj Gen. Anderson, and when the
flag was handed TO him and he pulled
il aloft there were cheers and tears and
many expressions of rejoicing. Henry
Ward beecher delivered the grafton.
Six years afterward, upon the coffin
OF the gallant Anderson, it went with
him to his last resting place at the old
school of his youth.
Like all important relics of the war,
tbs old flag has not been without at
tack, and there have been, as is usual i'll
pieces of flags passed about the coun-
try as the Sumter flag. There is a COM
plete record of the movements of the
flag IN the hands OF its possessors from
tn" time it was taken down at Sumter
until the government SO approximately
gave IL 10 Maj. Anderson.
1t was on April IL, 1861, that the bonn
bardment of Fort Sumter began by
the surrenderlng forces of the confed-
eracy. Seven times during the first day
OF the bombardment the flagstaff was
struck. Early III the day several YES
sells Of the federal heet were observed
of the bar, and orders were given to dip
the Tag to them. This was done, and
the salute was returned, but while the
flag was being holsted after the third
dip she'll burst near the flagstaff and
cut the ballard. The part of the
ballard thus cut was SO connected with
the tag that it must have cume down

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE Virginia dele.

In criticism Of the appointment OF zen. Fitz-

Fowle Is q cousin Of Gen. Lees wife, and tho

Representative Harry st. George Tucker.
1t is true. assumes the responsibility of
having talked over the wisdom of Gen. Lees
selection with the President, but his colleagues
in the House and the two Virginia Senators
were taken completely by surprise when both
appointments were announced.
Gen. Lee was a persistent opponent Of Senator
Martin for election to the Senate, and the rela-
lions of the two Democrats are not OF the most
friendly character.

personal friend of Gen. Lees, but they repre-
sent different factions Of tine party in Virginia.
Mr.. Daniel being an advocate Of silver. which
policy Gen. Lee. of course. opposes. as all good
friends OF the Cleveland Administration should.
