BAilLE-FLAGr. ; . r ' An interesting Account of lti Origin as i QiTen by den. Beauregard. ' Carlton McCarthy, i: the current number of the "Southern. Hiatorieal Society Pajjer," writes the following sketch oi the origin of toe Confeaer ate battle naer, deriviDer his facts froxQ a .speech of : General Beam gard'i ; "It wae at the battle of Hannasas, about 4 o?clock of the afternoon of 21st of Jnly, 1861 when, the falf of the ConfMeracy Eeerned'trblih in the balance, that General Beaure gard,' looking across the Warrenton turnpike, which passed through the vallet between the position ' of the Confederates and the valley between the position o&the Confederates and the elevations beyond occupied by the federal line, saw a body of troops moving toward his left and the Federal right. He was greatly concerned to know but could not decide what troops they were- whether Federal or Confederate. The similarity of uniform and of tlie colors carried by the opposing armies, and the clouds of dust made it almost impossible to decide. bhortly before this time Gen. Beauregard had received from the signal officer, Capt. Alexander, a dispatch that from the signal station in the rear he had sighted the colors of this column, drooping and cover ed"with the dust of journeyings, but could not tell whether they were the stars and stripes or the stars and bars. He thought, however, that they -were probably Patterson's troops arriving on the field and rein forcing the enemy. General Beauregard was momen tartly expecting help from the right, and tho uncertainty and anxiety of this hour amounted to anguish. bull the column pressed on. Call ing a staff officer, General Beaure gard instructed him to go at once to General JohnBton, at the Lewis house, agd say that the enemy were receiving heavy re-inforcementa, that the troops on the plateau were very much scattered, and that he would be compelled to retire to the Lewis house and there reform, hoping that the troops ordered up frdm the right would arrive in time to enable "him to establish and hold the new line. Meanwhile, tho unknown troops were pressing on. lne aav was sultry, and only at long intervals was there the slightest breeze. The colors of the mysterious column hungr drooping on the staff. Gener al Beauregard tried asrain and agaiu to decide what colors they carried. He used his glass repeatedly, and handing it to others begged them to look, hoping that their eyes might be keener than his. General Beauregard was in a state of crreat anxietv, but finally deter mined to hold his ground, relying on the promised help from the right, knowiner that if it arrived in time victory might be secured, but feel ing also that if the mysterious col umn should be Federal troops tho day was lost. Suddenly a pufif of wind spread th-3 colors to the breeze It was the Confederate flag the stars and bars. It was Early, with the 24th Virginia, the 7th Louisiana and the 13th Mis sissippL The column had by this time reached the extreme right of tho Federal lines. The moment the flag was recognizedTJeauregard turn ed to his stall right and left, saying, "See that ; the day is ours ! and or dered an i immediate advance. In the meantime Early's brigade de ployed into line and charged the en emy's right ; Elzer also dashed upon the field, and in one hour not an enemv was to be seen south of Bull Run. While on this field and suffering this terrible anxiety, Gen. Beaure gard deterrnined that the Confeder ate soldiers most have a flag so dis tinct from that of the enemy that no doubt should ever again endanger his cause on the field of battle. Soon after the battle he entered into correspondence with Col. Wm. Porcher Mills, who had Berved on his staff during the day, with a view to securing his aid in the matter, and proposing a blue field, red bars, crossed, and gold stars. They discussed ; the matter at length. Col. Miles thought it was contrary to the laws of heraldry that the ground should be blue, the bars red and the stars gold. He pro posed that the ground be red, the bars blue and the stars white. General Beauregard approved the change, and discussed the matter freely with General Johnston. Meanwhile it became known that the design for a flag was under discus sion, and many designs were sent in. The matter was freely discussed at headquarters, till, finally, when he arrived at Fairfax Court House, Gen eral Beauregard caused his draughts man (a German) to make drawings of all the various designs which had been submitted. With these de signs before them the officers at headquarters agreed on the famous old banner the red field, the blue cross and the white stars. The flag was then submitted to the Wax De, partment and was approved. .The first flags - sent to the army were presented to the troops by Gen. Beauregard inperson,hethen expres sing the hope and confidence that it would become the emblem of honor and victory. The first three nags received were made from "ladies' dresses" by the Misses Carey, of Baltimore and Al exandria, ftf-t'rreir residences and the residences k friends; 'i&AA; soon as they could 'get 'a 1 description of the design adopted. :1? s j--' : One of the Misses Carey sent the flag she made to General Beauregard Her j sister ehthetbneral Van Dom "v?ho wa'Ben at Fairfax Goort Haase."

' "There are some very cunning fel lows among our twenty elephants," said Mr. Durand, agent for the com bined Barnum and London shows, yesterday. . "The other . day Chief tain and Maudrie, the top mounters in the pyramid s,and the moat cunning of the neck, suddenly took a shiver ing chill at rehearsal. The keeper sent out and bought four gallons - of whiskey which the monsters devour ed repidly and with great . relish. The bill came to Mr. Barnum whose strong temperance predilections you know. After paying tne bill t Air. Barnum insisted that nobody in his employ, JJnot even his. elephant?, sliould drink: wrusJcey under anyr cir cumstances. In a little while the elephants when the - ffecte - of . the Uqupr had died awayr . commenced shivering again and apparently had another chill. They looked longing lyt the keeper . and . attempted to carress him with . their trunks, as much as to say, '.'Give us another drink." The keeper shook his head, and told them positively 'No.' In five minutes every appearance , of ague Had vanished, and .the: animals were quietly munching hay, as usual. They had been playing possum. 2V. F. Snn. Eaniall and Blackourn on Eoyle. Washington Pepublican. The occupants of the reporters gallery of the House were startled yesterday by an animated fconversa- tion between bpeaker rtandail and Congressman Blackburn.- Mr. - Ran dali adverted with occasional ' vehe mence to a memoranda, - upon which he commented freely'. The words "twelve pairs" were frequently heard above the noiBe occasioned by the shuffle of congressional feet and the wagging of statesmanlike tongues. A busy and anxious stipendiary of the enly newspaper ever, printed in Washington inquired of a Democrat ic leader the reason for this demon stration. "Randall is trying to raise a quo rum. But he has some ten or twelve pairs, and is trying to break them. That is all there is in it." "Why this anxiety and disturbing industry ? ' We want a Democratic quorum of 147 men in the House to pass the electoral count bill. We must break those rairs, and we can do it before Wednesday.'' - ' 'How " asked our arithmetic man. "The easiest thing in the world Three of a kind beat two pairs.- If there are twelve pairs, deal yourself and break the pairs two at a time Excuse me, sir, I must consult again with Speaker RandalL Cruelty to Animals. If there is any one thing more than another calculated to arouse all of our better nature, and enlist our sym pathy, it is the mute appeals of the brute creation, and more especially our domestic animals. , - "A merciful man is merciful to his beats," is as true, as ' anything outside of holy writ. These animals are given to us as a trust, and we some - times think, that whfttso we meet to them shall in the great day; be again moot ed unto us. With what meekness, with what fidelity and at times with what seeming gladness they do our bidding, and what is their- return ? Too olten. blows ana 8 tripes ana - . a 1 11 "1 even, starvation.

"At present ; he' enjoys; the- unprecedented "distinction of being the reputed head of two me-. , ixopohtanj dailies of different politics. In law Mr. Gould's " experience has been extensive. Other men may have beenj more profound students, I but in Practical knowledcra - and nine . . distinctions in both civil and "crimi nal branches his attainments have long beeii recognized; and years ago 7 his name in the common erjeech was ' familiarly j associated I with j that of JLJavid Field and with other legal lu mmanesi , Meanwhile : Mr. Gould has contrived to ' 't accumulate one hundred milliens, or Wch a matter, in railways and f telegraphs an amount far exceeding the total earth, ly possessions of all , the other jud ges. . His; influence , on the bench may be expected to be proportion-, ately great. - In his new role Mr. Gould will appear under ' the name of Stanley Matthews, of Ohio.- - ;. The Kaiher. m ; ::.. This is a new. name applied by -the : expressive vernacular .- known as . : ; slang . to a character, of some an- , tiquity, but now, perhaps, in the ze nith of his glory -' The "masher" can be distinguished at a glance, by his ' ' ! pomtdevice appearance, the elegance , . of his manners, ' the . unvarying affa. ' , bity;f his address, and the pre- , -cise arrangement' of his curled, locks, or.more piquant close crop.. , Some times, . but . rarely for the " true "masher has unmistakable tasts in these matters a faint odor of ottar of roses or other delicate perfumery ... pervades bis person, . and in the larg -, . er cities he has now taken to paint ' r ing his cheeks, penciling his eye- . brows, etc. The character spoken of at present is never loud in his at- - tire; his dress is rich, not gaudy, for ' ,. he must be .distinguished : from the . "masher-masher,", j a .term of con- 7 tempt' apphed to a more common character, a fellow of no consequence who puts on swaggering airs, wears rainbow colored neckerchiefs' and ' stunning overcoats in a vain attempt to ape the "masher" but is quickly . seen through and : makes his exit " fr'om the stage. But to return to the "masher":.. his personal, exterior -is the object which chiefly , occupies his attention.

The ; masher - does not break hearts like the lady-killer, he is simply immense and has an oppressive effect through - ' this quality. : Besides ; he 'exhausts his powers over a large field; he does not confine himself to one object, his ambition being to "mash" all tho : girls, and when there are no more of these he frequently keeps bis hand in by "mashing" the men.

Senator Dennis, of Maryland, as my informa tion goes,' has about twelve acres of land put down in a pond that : is fed by saltwater. .This pond makes the largest ' terrapin farm, probably; 1 in the world, and is the source of . a heavy income- In it terrapins are raised for; the market, and it is said that overiwelve"counts" havo been sold from1 it in one year., It may be noted for the benefit of the unioitia that a "count" is a tearapin oversev en inches in length; and that 'counts' : are sold by number, bringing from $10 td $14 a dozen,' or about! one dollar 'each. In market they retail for about; $20 a dozen; and in the fashionable restaurants are served at $1.50 a plate, one terrapin fillingabout -three 'plates. Smaller terrapins are sold at lower figures, but alll ' bring good figures and are "diamond" backs in fact as well as in name.
