found that nearly all voted for the
Guckenheimer building The oppo-
sition then very gracefully came over
to the majority, Col. Cam taking the

and then a motion that the choice of
the Guckenheimer building be made
unanimous was made by Mr.. j. w.

OF $4,000 subscribed, the vote showed
$4,000 for the Guckenheimer building.

day and their consent obtained. This

other Confederate buildings?
II. n. MATTHEW'S,
| Quartcrmaster
Pikesville, Md.
We cannot find any mention OF flag
raising over the Capitol or other build
ings in Richmond. If General Johnson $
surrnise that the dag used at General
Jackson's obscquies was the first and
only one. of that design made up to that
time is correct, then it could not have
been used for any other purpose, though
no doubt other flags were raised on the
public buildings.
Mrs. Davis, in her Memoirs Of Presi-
dent Davis says that the aforesaid ban-
ncr was presented by him for that pur-
pose; "and that he was so Frustrated and
overwhelmed by the appalling calamity
that he could not attend to the business
OF his office, and said to some one who
called, please excuse me, I cannot
think"
We quote from official records:
In the biography OF General jackson BY
John Esten Cooke, 1t is stated Of the
dead soldier that "thc body was laid in
the reception-room Of the mansion. the
coffin Id having been raised so as to show
the person of the dead. A wreath of le,1-
rel was laid upon his breast, and around
the coffin was wrapped the snow-white
bal OF the Confederate States. That
banner had been just adopted, and had
never yet been raised. It was thus first
used to wrap the dead body of the man
who had fought so well for the land over
which it was to noat.'
General Bradley T. Johnson wrote to
the Dispatch April rs, 1896:
May /, 1868, an act of Congress was
passed to establish the flag of the Con-
federate States, and it provided that the
| battle-nag should be the union of the new
flag, and that the field should be white.
1.-THE first time this flag ever was used,
! ana I rrspect the first that was ever
made, was used as pail over the bier
Of Stonewall jackson, as he lay in state
in the Governors Mansion in Richmond
in Nay, 1865"
This really may be said to have been
the last flag. It was changed slightly in
| 1865.
We quote from official records.
An act to establish the flag of the Con-
federate States (First Congress, third ses-
sions. approved May l.. 1889. The Congress
