The Battle Flag or the Firth Cqorgta Reg iment. At the reunion of the Fifth Georgia Reg- iment in Macon, August 21st and 22ud, there will be presented to the surviving members the battle flag that floated above the brave men throughout the battles of Tennessee and through Georgia to South Carolina. Like many other battle flags, it has a history, anu when the veterans behold it once more, what a flood of old associations will tush to mind! It is in the possession ot Captain L. C. Young, now a conductor on the fast train running from Macon to Waycross. He was a private in the Fifty-sixth New York regiment in the department of the South uuder General Foster. Yesterday after noon our reporter found him at his room, with his family, at the Edgerton Hotel, and was shown the flag that he has so carefully preserved these twenty years. It has a few holes In it made by hissing bullets, otherwise it is in as good condition as when taken from the battlefield. How he came in poaaeaaion of the flog was thus related to us by Captain Young: “It was not until the latter part of Novem ber. 1884, that our troops were able to ef fect a landing on the main land of South Carolina. The main land was so well for tified that we occupied tbe islands. Our purpose was to destroy the South Caro lina railroad, and thus prevent General Jones, who was in Charleston, from rein forcing General Hardee. On November Oth, the battle of Fort Coosabatchie was fought. Wo were then thirty miles from Savannah, on the South Carolina side. The light began about noon and was kept up until latein the afternoon, the loss being heavy on both sides. It was in this fight that the flag was captured, and no flag was ever more nobly defended. We were immediately in front of the Fifth Georgia, who were supported on one flank ihe gubernatorial convention, and that tbe delegates be nominated and voted for in thlshall. Mr. W. A. Poe moved that there be six delegates and six alternates. Mr. Dessau moved that there be twelve delegates and no alternates. Alter some discussion, the motion to elect twelve delegates was carried. Captain W. \v. Carnes called attention to Mr. Wilson's motion to select from tbe hall. Discussion followed, and a motion to reconsider Mr. Wilson’s motion and elect by ballot was carried. Mr. Dessau then read the following list of names of those selected as delegates: W. A. Lofton, R. A. Nisbet, Thomas Wil lingham, W. U. Phillips, W. H, Ross, DECAY OF THE CREEN CLOTH. rough a sedge , __ by strategic movement, overlapping their left. It was at this juncture that the flag was taken. Five times its bearer was shot down, but the flag never touched the ground. As fast as one man was shot down another leapt forward and took his place. Its heroic defense evoked our most ardent admiration, and to capture such a flag was the ambition of our men. The foot of tho last man to hold it aloft was shat tered, and as he fell there was none to raise the colors. The retreat had been sounded and tbe men were pushing to the rear. When our regiment reached the sitot there was a rush for the flag. A fellow soldier was ahead of me and secured the trophy, but it soon (ell into my possession, and I have treasured it twenty years with but one obiect, and that was to restore it to the gallant band that fought under it on llllUUuiii.

McManus, C. L. Bart lett, Dr. R. M. Patterson, W. It. Rogers, George 8. Jones, W. W. Carnes, T. U.Con- er, W. B. Hill and others, all declining. Judge It. F. Lyon moved that tbe dele- ites bo Instructed to support R. U. Har- leman for treasurer. He was seconded by Judge McManus. Mr. Wilson wanted the delegates to go uninstructed. Judge McManus wanted the delegates to support Judge Clifford Anderson, and oth ers as well. Mr. Dessau said that by resolution ot previous meetings this meeting was bound not to Instruct delegates, and he therefore wanted the word “Instruct” stricken from the resolution and the word “recommend" substituted therefor. Mr. B, C. Smith thought they should be uninstructed as to all officers. Colonel Thomas Hardeman hoped that nothing would be said about instructions. He wanted all indorsed. Mr. W. A. Poe thought the people of Bibb should only instruct their delegates for Bibb county men. The motion to indorse R. U. Hardeman for treasurer was carried. Mr. W. B. Hill offered the foil owing res olution, which was adopted: "Ilctohetl by the Demoerateaf Bibb eouutu in contention attembled, That the able and efficient discharge ot the duties of the office ot attorney-general by Hon. Clifford Anderson awakens a just pride amoni his fellow citizens of this county, am we feel assured that by his continu ance in that office the legal interests of the State will be safely and wisely S arded. We therefore recommend that e delegates from this county present his name to the convention and support him for that office." Mr. R. W.

Mr. J. A. Hall moved to reconsider the motion to elect delegates by ballot, and elect them by acclamation. The motion was lost. The balloting proceeded: Before the ballots were counted a motion was carried to place the counting in the hands of a committee with Captain Carnes as chair man, that the meeting couldproceed with other business. Messrs. Carnes. Felix Camp and J. W. Blount .were appointed, and the committee retired. Mr. Poe moved that the chair appoint the delegates to the Congressional conven- tion.

The restoration of the flag will be a source of great pleasure to the members of the regiment There are only four mem- ben living in Macon—Messrs. D. B. Jones, George W. Burr, Thomas J. Burney and Thomas E. White. The companies form ing the regiment came from places on the line ot the Central railroad and its branches, and as low rates have been gty- en by the railroads, there will no doubt be tuft attendance ol the old members. Mr. George W. Burr was in the fight al luded toby Capt. Young.

He is an adept in dealing a brace game of faro, or in swindling at short cards, but the height of his am bition is to transfer an innocent man’s money into his own pocket by means of some confidence game. In tlie last- named role he may he classed as an Xpert. “I have just returned to the bay,” continued tlie disconsolate sport, “alter a two years’ professional tour, playing brief engagements at all the leading sporting centres in the country. I had hoped to find thtogs booming in San Francisco; but tho hope was sadly blasted, for I find more broken gam blers here than I found in any other city. High rollers who only a few years ago squandered their hundreds weekly are now glad to capture enough money to lodge in a twenty-five-cent room and subsist on a beer lunch. Where one gambler is in funds, fully ninety-nine are in distress.” “How did you find the situation at other points?” asked the reporter. “With very few exceptions, just as bad for the fraternity. About two months ago I made a tour on the North ern Pacific road. From St. Paul to Helena I did not find a single place where tho gambler could make any money. At Helena and Butte there is considerable sport, but controlled by a few men. Then I went into the Coeur d’Alene mining region in company with several other sports, and found that country a dead fraud; there were ac tually more gamblers there tliandollars, and our party had a tough time to get outol the infernal country. I visit ed all tho leading points in Oregon and Washington Territory only to find ‘business’ dull everywhere.
