Stars and Stripes. This statement is
made by Gen. VIM. i. CabeIl. of the
Confederate army, and he said that it
was found necessary to invent some
other kind of a flag
William POrcher Miles, al member of
the Provisional Confederate Congress,
which met in Montgomery. was Chair
man of the Committee on Design of the
Flag for the seeding States. Mr.. Miles
says: f
We had hundreds of designs submit
ted to us from all parts of the country.
The committee could not agree upon a
flag. They finally determined to sub
init four designs ito Congress. from
which they should vote to select one
Confederates, a field of three stripes,
red. white and red, with blue union and
stars" .
The flag now known as the Confed-
crate battle flag was adopted by the
rebel army in September, 1861, and
was practically the design of Gen. Beau
regard, but this flag was never accepted
BY the Confederate Congress. nor did
they authorize the battle flag or adopt
it, The flag is described by Gen. Beau
regard in Ietterto Rev. b. NJ. Palmer,
President of the Southern Historical
Society, New Orleans. June "a, 1872:
AT the battle of Manassas. on the
21st day Of July, 1861, I found it diff
cult to distinguish our then Confeder-
ate flag from the United States flag (the
two being so much alike, especially
when Gen. Jubal A. Early made the
flank movement which decided the fate
of the day. and | resolved then TO have
ours changed if possible or to adopt for
my command a battle flag which would
he entirely different from any State or
Federal flag. After the battle it was
found that many persons in both arm
les firmly believed that each side had
used. as stratagem, the flag of his
opponent. Gen. JOS. f.. Johnston, com
the Confederate States forces.
determined to have the troops furnished
into correspondence with Col. VIM.
Porcher Miles. Chairman of the House
Military Committee, to have our Ma
tional flag changed. But that was
found to be impracticable at the time
Gen. Johnston preferred a square flag,
10 render 1t more convenient to carry,
and we finally adopted in September,
1861, the kcll-known battle flag of the
Army of the Potomac Gas it was first
called), to which our soldiers became
so devoted. Its field was red or GRIM
son, its bars were blue, and running
across from one corner to
the other, and the stars of them were
white or gold, their number being equal
to the number of States in the Confed-
eracy. II had the merit of being small
and light and of being very distinct at
great distances. But it was not accept
ed by the Confederate Government I'M
til it had been consecrated by many a
battle, when it became the
union Cor field of our second and third
Confederate National flags. When 1

found that Gen. Polk had adopted for
his forces flag nearly similar to the
one j had designed for the Army of the
Potomac e., blue field with a white
st. Andrews cross and blue or gold
stars. Gen. Hardee had fori his divi-
sion a blue field, with, full white cir
Gle in its center. / gave orders to have
them replaced as soon as possible by
the battle flag of the Army 6f the Po-
tomac. In September. 1862. when I
returned to Charleston, / substituted
the same banner for the State flags
then principally used in the Depart
ment of South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida. 1t became thus in our armies
the emblem of Southern valor and pa
triotism. Should we ever be compelled
to have foreign war. trust that this
standard will be adopted as our Ma
tional battle flag, to which Southern
soldiers will always gladly rally in a
Just cause"
1t will be seen by this utterance of
Gen. Cabell that 1t was the desire of
the South to have this so-calIed battle
flag of the rebels adopted as the bat
tie flag" of the Union. They would like
it to take the place Of the Star Span
gled Banner now.

that the first Confederate flags were
made by the Misses Cary. of Baltimore;

J full account of how the rebel flag came
to be adopted and about its colors. its
stripes and how many stars 1T has, and
who made the first ones. IT
Two men are contesting for the right
to be called the originator of the de-
sign for the rebel flag which was sup
posed to have been buried at Appomat-
tox One is Orren Randolph Smith, OF
Henderson, N c., whose claim seems
to be SON e what wobbly. When the
war broke out Mr.. Smith was living in
Le-isburg. He claims to be the orig
nal Secessionist. Not until about eight
years ago did Mr.. Smith tell the mem
bers of his family that he devised the
design of the Confederate flag. He had
his claim published in several Southern
newspa perS, and it remained undisput-
ed until in February of 1904, when the
Lost Cause, periodical of Louisville,
Ky, printed a statement from Mr.. Nico-
Ia Marschall that he devised the design
that Congress adopted as the Confeder-
ate flag and which Mr.. Smith is claim
ing. Mr. Marschalrs story seems the
most credible, and has been accepted
by the South as authentic. Mr.. Mar
schall was young Prussian artist, who
came to this country in 1S49. He en-
listed in the Confederate army. Upon
the request of the Confederate Govern
ment he painted two designs for a
rebel flag. One was red, white and
red. with a blue field in the upper left
corner and seven stars in a circle the
number of the seeding States. He drew
another design. but it was not accept
able, and the first design was adopted
by the Confederate Congress. This flag
was so much like the Union flag that at
the battle of Bull Run, where it ap-
peared for the first time in battle, it
was hard to distinguish it from the

active and effective in everything thai
| pertains to the interests of the yeter-
ans, and he was unusually helpful in
the erection of the great Memorial Hall
| the citizens of Montgomery County
have erected at a cost of $150,000.
Comrade Kerns has all his life devoted
himself to making a collection of arms
of all wars, learning their history, and
has one of the most interesting gather
ings in this country. He proposes to
leave this to some historical institution
or the relic hall Of the Memorial Build

J. H McKelTey, 4th Pa. Cav, Bel
fonte, Pa. Comrade McKelvey was a
railroader for many years until he lost
his left hand, when he went to farming.
He followed the glorious guidonS of the
4th Pa. Cav. from its organization until
Oct. II, 1863, when he was captured
with a number of his regiment at Sui
phur Springs, and was held a prisoner
in Andersonville and elsewhere until
November, 1864. Out of the 10 of his
company taken only four came back,
and of the 80 captured from Co. D only
eight survived. He returned to his reg
iment and was with 1t at the close.

Comrade Francher, who is a millwright
by trade, served in the oath n. Y. Cav,
and was severely wounded at Gettys-
burg. He has been one of the SUBJ
stantial citizens of Beaver Falls, Pa,
but he and his wife were on their way
to st. Cloud, which they expect to make
their home for the rest of their lives.
They took with them their furniture
and their neat little ready-made house,
which only requires to be put up upon

porch and all conveniences, and cost

tering is provided. This is a compost

which is nailed on to the scantling fixed
purposely and makes a smooth sur
face over which paper can be laid.
Comrade Francher and wife will be
followed later in the season by other
comrades and their families from west
ern Pennsylvania. Comrade Francher
will be real acquisition to st. Cloud,
as he is active, alert, brainy and strong
ly in earnest as to the future of the
town. What has greatly inclined the
people in his neighborhood to St. Cloud
has been the highly favorable report of
w. A. McCool. a leading manufacturer
at Beaver Falls, who has just returned
from st. Cloud. He says the town is
wonderful. as the climate and the pos
sibilities also are. He has been spend
ing most of the Summer down there.
and finds the climate more attractive

ago Mr.. McCool bought large tract of
land adjoining st. Cloud at low price,
and in a little while sold of large

asking 500 an acre for what he has
left.
