A Confederate Veteran Tells How 1t

Gen. w. L. Cabell. formerly lieu

has recently contributed an article to
the official organ Of his old comrades
giving a history of the battle flag of the
Confederacy, about which there has
been more or less controversy of late.
The general says:
when the Confederate army com
manded by General BeauregaTd, and
the Federal army confronted each other
at Manassas It was seen that the Con-
federate flag and the Stars and Stripes
looked at a distance so much alike that
IL was hard 10 distinguish one from the

that serious mistakes might be made. In
recognizing our troops. after the battle
of July Is. at blackburn Ford, ordered
that a small red badge should be worn
on the left shoulder by our troops, and
as l was chief quartermaster. ordered
me to purchase a large amount of red
flannel and distribute it to each regi-
ment. l distributed the red flannel to
number of regiments, who placed
badges on the left shoulders of the
men. During the battle of Bull Run IL

he is bending over his book with an
expression intent upon solving the
difficulties that cause his weaker
brothers to surrender. One day he
