Harri is -the man with ' Southern being sent in this waVi j When my uncle died at Richmond, there was at; his bedside a friend by the name of Monroe; a nephew, 1 understood of the late President, who delected a few relics and keepsakes out of his effects, and sent them; with a letter of condolence to hie relations: Dossiblr. it was through this channel it came into my mo thers possession : but be that as it may, I am cer tain when it was sen) , it was accompanied with a representation, that it was the Flag of the Pe tersburg Volunteers. It was for manyr years in my mothei's family, which since her last mar riage, is very large audj extensively, connected. The hisiory of .this if lag was relizvmslu leliev id by all of them, and I never heard the slight est doubt upon the subject, aniil I read this ar ticle in. the Petersburg paper. 1 he reason why am siiil inclined to think it belonged to this -is a company is, that 1 dnde showed it to G. VV Grimes of this place, ("who was one of the same company,) staling its history and he did not dis- pile its genwtnenefs. This fact is still remem bered by. Aaron VVoolworth ot this town, and perhaps by others. This I lair bears the motto, 'Volunteers to Aionjs," which strengthens this conclusion. M As to the fact, that; this FJag was many years agow my mother's faTiily with ih$ unquestion able tradition aUacheditnit, I refer to Dr. Jas. F. Martin, of Mocksville, and his brother and sisters: to Hugh Martin, Esq. of Stokes, and his lady : to Judge James Martin, of Mobile, Alabama, who are all descendants of my moth er's late husband, Col. Martin, and who knows that I have spoken nothing but what toe all be lieved to be true. Many persons saw how sirong- ly a certain lady of that family bote witness to-4 tho truth of this staiement by her emotions on the oocasion of my presenting it on ihe 4th. 1 dislike exceedingly, to take this liberty of nam ing individuals without their consent, for I have never exchanged a word with any of thecn since this article came out;, j And I dislike siill more, of bringing this domestic history before th ub lie, but I feel thai-justice to myself rtj'iirtb it. Dr. P. Henderson of t his town, I (h)nk has the letter spoken of above, from my uncie to my mother,' bur he canm low lay his hands n it. To him I refer also, jfJr the trtiih of my stateijent concerning this matter ; I shall send ihe Flag I have to Petersburg !to;6ee if there are not some there who can explain! this mystery. To show that my uncle was entirely above at tempting an imposition of this kind, I refer to Major Junius Sneed, of this place, who was well acquainted with him- I y The facts and circumstances relating to this affair, are of ancient date, many of the persons who might aid me in explaining them are dead, and wilh none of the others have I had an op- portunityof communicating with. since this pub lication made its appearance, but if one after this stiif thinks me capable of so pitiful an attempt at imposition, I hope to be able to produce such fur ther proof as well pin: the matter beyond doubt. r'WHi only add, that I have heard it suggested by-one who ought to know, that the Volunteers had two Mags at diifJerent- times, the one was used by them in thieir first organization, which Was never entirely laid aside ; and that subse-J nnentljMhe ladies of retersburg presenied them wun anoiner. it in is oe so, uie ouiicuuy may be at once resolved.! i T ltespectfully, i j H.

' I 1 Mil give one other leason why the Method ist, in particular, are odious to the ' Powers that be.' j It cannot he forgotten that the Methodist Convention held lately at Baltimore, passed a Resolution disapproving of negro testimony ;a4 gainst white men.
