before their gallant commanders, and bevy of lovely young maidens, all seated on horseback. One held aloft new banner, and across the waters came a soft whispering breeze that lift ed the folds, and spread it rippling over the head of fair girl that with in a week became the bride of the young Colonel of the 9th battalion. The occasion was the presentation of this flag to the battalion. It was pre- sented by Rev. F. F. Nicely, an eminent divine. and in the name of Miss Jennie Hungerford. then and now of Union- town, Ala, Colonel Jones received it. Miss Hungerford's brother was later adjutant of the 5Sth Alabama regi- ment. Oh, what days, what scenes of blood, and carnage, what floods of sor- row. what soul trials, have intervened since that smiling April day: and how few of that goodly crowd are left to recall the ceremony of the flag presen- tation; and of the few to some memory is growing short, eyes dim heads blos- soming. and steps halting, for the grave. A few years more these threads of life will be snapped, lips closed and beacon lights gone out for

 From Mobile the troops passed up the Alabama River on the steamer Senator. At Selma the flag was unfurled to the gaze and greeting of many friends of the proud possessors: and many tear dim eyes watched the waving stan dard when their loved ones could no longer be distinguished on the reced- ing boat.
 After a short stay at Montgomery they passed cn via Atlanta, Ga. 10 Tul- lahoma, Tern. That point was reached the last of April There the 9th Ala bama battalion was placed In Clayton's. formerly Cummings brigade, and soon afterwards moved to Wartrace. and from thence TO Beach Grove, and Hoov- er's Gap.
