' J. F. BUCEMAN, Toys ! Toys ! Toys ! At Bottom prices at A. S. KELLY & CO'S, A Captured Flag. Adjutant General A. D Ayling, of New Hampshire, writes Adjutant General Cowles that Mrs. Persis F. Chase, sister of Col. Edward E. Cross, ol the fifth New Hamp shire has placed in his hands the State flag of the Fourth roth Carolina Regiment, which was captured by Col. Cross' command at Sharpsburg. Adjutant General Ayling says that, be has suggested to Mrs. Chase, and she fully agrees with him, that if there is an association of the survivors of the Fourth Regiment they would be lad to have the flag returned, and that if there is no association tLe State author ities would no doubt be pleased to receive it. He desires the Adjutant General to ascertain if there is su:h an association and if not to give directions as tc the shipment of tbe flag. Now, if there is an associa tion of the Fourth, it wouli be a very graceful and proper thing for it io invite Mrs. Chase to come to North Caro lina and bring the flag herself and give her a reception she would always remember. If there is no association, the flag ought to be placed in the State Library. Col. Cioss died some years ago, it is learned. Ral eigh cor Wilmington Messen ger. The above is a gross error. The flag was presented by the ladies of Washington to Com pany E. (Captain Carter), and was by them prized very highly so much so that it wa's secreted in a Jcuapsack in the baggage train; it was never placed on a staff, nor never used in battle. The flag was not captured at the bat'le of Sharpsburg but was taken the day before at ! South. Mountain with the rest , of the baggage, the property of ! Company E. Messrs VV. L. ! Powell and Thos. H. O'Menry, memb.-rs of Company E, gave j us the above fac.s. We trtfst the papers of the State will ' co rect the statement. Neither I was the regimental flag cap- tured at Sharpsburg. As the fflag was presented to Company E, which was from this county, the Ladies Memorial Associa ' tion, of Beaufort County, are the proper ones- to receive the flag. The flag was made of a silk dress, which belonged to j the late Mrs. Clara Clark (nee j Hoyt), ot this city. A Pennsylvania Judge has decided that a woman on the witness stand -has a right to refuse to tell her age when a lawyer tries to pump it out of her. The Judge holds that her age is a woman's secret to which she has a natural and inalienable right, if she. does not voluntarily surrender it. Havana, December 18. Tbe Herald field correspondent re ports from Santa Clara that the insurgents in that province have more than six thousand men, well armed, and are con fident of ultimate success. They are also well provided with medicine and other neces- sarins, uenerai tjomez is ai La Reforma, where he has been for nearly a year. P it reported this morning that General Garcia has captured and destroyed the city of Bayamo. Within the last four days two large filibustering expedi tions haye safely reached Cuba One landed in Matanzas prov- inceiand the other at Baracoa, onlyfive leagues from Havana. They consisted chiefly of cloth ing, j medicine and dynamite. The rebels are now using large quantities of dynamite with considerable effect. Whenever a man begins to denounce the "white man's party" and says that there is no necessity for white men to get together to control the Sta e keep ycur eye on that man. He has already made up his mind to "jine the Radicals. " Havana Dec, 17. General Blanco has declared that if within a reasonable time after the establishment of autonomy, it is clearly seen that it has no practical effect in restoration of Deace, he will tender his resig nation, and return to Spain. Havana, Dec. 18. A small box, apparenfly made to con tain samples of some descrip tion, was found this morning at Casa Neuva, where the United States consulate is sit uated. An examination of the box showed it to contain a tube filled with an explosive subs'ance. Fortunately the cover was not removed in the ordinary way but was splintered open. Under the cover was a- piece of sand paper, intended to light a box of matches, and thus brig about an explosion. Washington, Dec. 18. The populists have decided to hold a caucus tomorrow night to outline their policies on pend ing questions. They will prob ablp oppose the refcirem3nt of the greenbacks, the extension of further privileges to national banks, ihe annex iiion of Hiw aij, and favor the recognition of Cuban inlepndonce and the repeal of civil service law. The Captain-General and the leaders of :'i 3 A'Uon om ist Re-H formist parties are very busy now over the decree of autono my, which has jusi arrived from Spain.
