flow Ben Hill Won a Confeder
ate Battle Flag From a
Northern Woman.
Since My. Hill delivered his great
speech, his daily receipts of letters,
complimentary, curious and condem
natory, has been something wonder
ful.
One of the most interesting of these
letters came from a Mrs. Kimball, of
Philadelphia, accompanied by a “Reb
el battle flag.” The following is the
correspondence upon the subject:
lion. Mr. Hill:
Dear Sir —l forward to you the flag
captured by the soldiers of the Union
when ihey took possession of the cap
ital of your State. It was given to
me as a token of gratitude for kind
ness shown to the sick and wounded
while in Savannah, and sent to me by
the boat in the return from up the river
where she landed tiie troops. It gives
me pleasure to return it to a worthy
son of Georgia, with the hope that
the past may be forgotten.
I never fail to appreciate a brave
man. The noble sentiments expressed
by you in your speech in reply to Mr.
Blaine, prove you such. My. Blaine
is from Maine, my native State, and I
have always admired him, but I feel
he has made a mistake this time. May
God bless you, and give you wisdom
and thought to continue in the way
you have started, thus bringing about
an era of good feeling and prosperity
to our troubled land.
Your speech, the first from the
South since its restoration to power
in Congress, is worthy of her.
May our united strength cause our
“Fathers House” to become the light
of the civilized world.
Your Yankee Sister,
Mrs. 11. S. Kimball.,
W. Philadelphia, Jan. 13th, 1876.
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C. Jan. 15, 1876.
Mrs. 11. S Kimball, West Philadelphia:
Dear Madam —Your noble letter of
the 13th instant was received this
morning. By express I also received
the flag ‘ captured by the soldiers of
the Union when they took possession
of the capital of my State.”
I cannot adequately express the
feelings awakened in me by this gift,
and by the touching and patriotic
words which accompany the gift.
The flag itself is a sad reminder of
angry days, but your beautiful ex
pressions of devotion to our country,
finding, as they certainly do, a sincere
response iu my own bosom, awaken
likely hopes that we “shall have wars
no more.” For yeur most grateful
approval of my own humble efforts to
this end, Dleaso also accept my warm
est thanks.
I can truly say I have no mission
in public life but to aid, as far as I
may be able, in restoring public peace
and in jjKomotitfk public good. The
people of the North cannot afford to
ask the people of the South to yield
their manhood, for that would prove
the 'North unmaaV-
The pcoptooT tLo ljouiii cannot afford
to yield their mJhhood for that would
be to confess' unworthy.
Let the people of each section ad
mit the great truth, which will demon
strate tfijj manhood and worth of both:
That we differed honestly; that we
fought-oravely,and that our differences
are settled, m good faith, on the basis
of the Constitution as it is. And now,
with out people all free, our States all
our country all one, let
dfall “unite our strength to cause
our ‘Fathers Housed to become the
ol of the civilized world.”
** Your Southern Brother,
O Bexj. H. Hill.
Mr. Hill then determined to present
to the Library,
of Atlanta, and ajjpress&d the follow
ing letter to Mr. President of
that Institution :
House of Representatives,
D. C.-Feb. 11, 1876.
B. Mallon, Presided Young Men's
Association of Atlanta. Ga:
™Sir:—l desire to present to the Li
rary Association, through you. the
flag captured by the army of General
Sherman at Milledgeville, the capital
of our Stale.
This flag was recently presented to
me by the noble lady, to whom it was
given by the Union soldiers, as a tes
timonial of appreciation, by a North
ern lady, of my humble utterances in
the late Amnesty debate in vindica
tion of the manhood of our Southern
people, and in promotion of the mutual
good will of the people of all sectious
of our common country. #Let the flag
be preserved as a memento of a peo
ple who were brave enough to fight
while the battle lasted, and who were
brave enough also to make peace
when the battle ended.
It reqnres a higher courage to forget
than to indulge in animosities.
