The croakers who complained of Sec
retary Stewards course because he paid
seven millions for Alaska showed
about as little wisdom as the croakers
to-day who have been insisting that
nothing but the free and unlimited
coinage of silver would bring back
prosperity to the United States.
Alaska has already brought to the
United States many dollars more than
it cost US, in it's fur-seal industry, and
now it has developed the richest gold
mine it the world. This enormous
gold find within our own territory,
coupled with the fact that the gold
mines of the world are producing this
year more than ever in history and
that we are going to draw great guam
Titles of gold from abroad in payment
of our splendid crops, for which high
prices are predicted, promises good
supply of money and prosperity in the
United States during the coming year

L. \. Sharp, a Sumner county far
mer. writes to d Meade county paper
as follows: II am surrounded here
with Popocrats, but they are very sick
and say they will not support the Pop
ticket this fall. They don't like Lew
elling or Leedy, they say they have
proved traitors to the party, but / tell
them to stick to them and their free
trade policy and it will make men of
them. This was at public sale
where there were 100 or $50 men and
there were three sheep men who had
been voting the Pop ticket since '92
and selling their wool at AZ to 81 cents
and cussing the government for low
prices. Do you know that eight or
ten of the Pops had me surrounded.
first one and then the other would
light into me. Well, now 1 tell you.
they were making things hot for me
when those three men came up, and
to my rescue. They had just got their
returns for this years crop of wool
which netted them at Oxford I34c per
pound. You should have seen them
scatter; they did not want to hear
tally from their own party men. One
of the Pops tried to make a speech
after the sale was over and when he
got to abusing the Republicans and
said tantalizingly, yes vote for Nc
klnley and prosperity one man in
the crowd called out, yes, see what
wool is worth;' yes said another. see
wheat has gone from 35 to 96 cents:'
yes said another, you tried to sell
some horses in the winter and could
only get from $50 to S35 offered for
them, and yesterday you sold IA
year-old team for S16O and was offered
S75 head for four young horses;' .ves.'
said another, corn was worth 81 cents,
now 23 cents You ought to see him

AN INTERESTING RELIC.-There was
exhibited in this Office to-day by Mr.
Edgar War6eld, ex-Adjutant of r. e.
! Lee Camp, an interesting relic in the
shape of the flag presented to the Alex.
andrie Rihemen on the 22nd of Febru.
airy, 1861. The occasion was probably
the most interesting ever experienced
in Alexandria, there having been more
interest manifested in the celebration
of Washington's birthday that year than
on any recurrence before or after. The
reason is apparent-the clouds of war
were gathering and Alexandria was up
in arms, while military companies from
other places in the Sta'e were here.
The fire companies turned out in force
and there was general suspension OF
business. The flag was presented to
the Riaemen by the late F. L. Smith,
esq, in most appropriate speech, and
was received on behalf Of the company
by Capt. Morton Marye in few fitting
remarks. The flag is five feet long and
four wide, is made of silk, tastefully
bound with gold fringe. The staff was
made from the tree under which the
Culpeper Minute Men assembled in 1776.
On the top of the staff was massive
cord tassel of blue and gold. On one
side of the flag is the coat of arms of
the State with wreath representing
tobacco, corr and wheat, the three Vir-
ginia staples-intertwined and support
ing two scrolls, on the upper one being
the nan of the State, and on the lower
"Sic semper tyrannis." On the reverse
the ground work is of lemon colored
silk, which bears the following "Pre.
sented to the Alexandria Ri6emen by
the Ladies of Alexandria, February %,
1861" The painting on the flag was
executed by Mr.. Alban Hurdle. When
the federal troops occupied this city on
the morning of May "a, 1861, in the
hurry in which the Alexandria troops
departed the flag was left in the armory
of the Rifemen at the corner of King
and Columbus streets. Soon thereafter
some ladies entered the hall and secur-
ed the flag, and subsequently it was
taken, hidden under the skirts of Que of
them, into the Confederate lines and
turned over to the Rihemen. In the
meantime the Alexandria companies
had been formed into regiment, so the
flag was not used in battle but was kept
by different members of the company.
At the close of the war it was taken to
the home OF one of the men in one Of
the upper counties of the State and f.
nally found its way to the home of
gentleman in the Valley, who exhibited
it as relic. There it was seen by
former Alexandria lady, who, after
many trials, secured the flag and has
now gent it to this city.
The GAZETTE OF February 23rd, 1861,
gives a most interesting account of the
flag presentation and celebration of the
22nd 10 this CITY, The Loudoun Guards
were entertained here that day and
there was grand parade, followed by
a mass meeting at Liberty Hall, where
speeches were made by Capt. K. KEN
per and DR.. Harold Snowdeu. This file
of the GAZETTE is now at this Office, so
that those who are interested in the
matter may have an opportunity OF
reading the account published at the
time.

4 CoRRECTIoN.-The statement pub
lished on Saturday to the effect that
Harry Rice, proprietor of saloon on
the northwest corner of Princess and
Fairfax streets, was before the Mayor
that morning charged with keeping a
disorderly house and with using inso.
lent language toward an officer in the
discharge OF his duty, was incorrect, and
did Mr.. Rice an injustice. He was not
before the Mayor on any charge but
was present only as witness in the
case of woman who had been arrested
on the charge of disorderly conduct.
During the trial it developed that war
OF words had taken place between MIR.
Rice and the officer who entered his
place to make an arrest, Mr.. R. believ
ing that the Office was too dictatorial in
his manner toward him. Mr.. Rice
states that he endeavors to keep order
in and about his premises and was
much hurt at report being published
that he was charged with keeping a
disorderly house. He has never been
arrested on any charge.
