BATTLE FLAG OF
THE CONFEDERACY
GEN. w. [. CABLE TELLS STORY
OF ITS ADOPTION AND
CONSTRUCTION.

Gen. w. l.. Gable, commander of
the Trans Mississippi department of
the Confederate Veterans, tells of the
adoption of the battle flag of the con.
federacy. In a letter to a friend Gen
Gable says:
when the confederate army, COM
manded by Gen. Beauregard, and the
federal army confronted one another
at Manassas, it was seen that the
confederate flag and the stars and
stripes looked at a distance so much
alike that it was hard to distinguish
one from the other. After the battle
at Blackburn Ford, July IS, Gen.
Beauregard 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 quantity Of red flan-
mel and distribute it to each depart
ment.
During the battle of Bull Run it
was plain to be seen that a number
of federal soldiers wore similar
red badge. Gems. Jonston and Beau
regard met at Fairfax court house in
the latter part of August or the early
part of September-I have forgotten
the exact date-and determined to
have battle flag for every regiment
or detached command
Gen. Johnston's flag was in the
shade of an eclipse-a red flag with
the St. Andrew cross and stars on the
cross (white), to represent the differ
ent southern states. No white border
of any kind was attached to the cross.
Gen. Beauregard's flag was a rectan-
gle, red, with blue st. Andrew cross
and white stars, similar to Gen. John
stons.
.''After We had discussed fully the
two styles, taking into consideration
the cost of material and cost of max
ing same, it was decided the eliptical
flag would be harder to make; that
it would take more cloth, and it would
not be seen so plainly at a distance,
the rectangular flag, drawn and sug-
gested by Gen. Beauregerd, should be
adopted. Gen. Johnston yielded at
once.
"No one else was present but we
three: No one knew about this flag
but We three, until an order was is
sued adopting the Beauregard flag, as
it was called, and directing me, as
chief quartermaster, to have the flag
made as soon as it could be done
Immediately issued an address to the
good ladies of the south to give me
! their red and blue silk dresses and
to send them to Capt. Colin McRae
Selph, quartermaster at Richmond,
Va The first response came from the
young women. Those most prominent
in the move were the Misses Carey.
from Baltimore; Mrs. Hennigs. of Sa-
| NdhhdH, ana Mrs. Hopkins, of Ala
bama.
The Misses Carey made battle flags
for Gen. Beauregard and Gen. Van
Dorm, and, l think, they made the one
for Gen. j. f. Johnston. The flag for
Gen. Beauregard was made from their
own dresses and this flag is now in
Memorial hall at New Orleans. Gen.
Won Dorn's flag was made from
I heavier material, but it was very
pretty. l want to say positively
that the statement going the rounds
that either of those flags were de
signed by federal prisoners is false
and without foundation. I have state
