to bear — great deeds to do. For himself, he had not come to the office he occupied for its honor, but to share its perils; and when Carolina levels her bayonets for the last charge, he hoped to be with them. He intended to be where men bleed and die.--With superadded confidence and pleasure, he committed the beautiful flag in the hands of Col. Hampton, as the son of a noble gentleman, and the grandson of a gallant commander of "76." Three times three were enthusiastically given for Jeff. Davis, and after the band had played a fine air, Col. Hampton replied--"That, coming, as it did, from the hands of one reverenced and honored throughout the length and breadth of the whole Southern country, this flag, in itself demanding the highest feelings of pride and reverence, with brightest memories of Carolina clustering around it, was doubly valued. He would ask his followers to defend it." He asked them to "look upon its Palmetto tree and silver crescent"--then, turning to Sergeant Da

Capt. Shinckle's company, they repaired to Mr. Nicholson's house and demanded the flag. Mr. Nicholson "complied with the request" readily, and not "reluctantly," as the Gazette says. The language imputed to the father by the Gazette was uttered by the daughter, viz: "Southern men would not act in this way," The flag was then surrendered by the maiden with the remark, "Gentlemen, it will not be long till this flag will wave all over this land."

Maj. Hays said to Capt. Shinckle, "You are engaged in a very little business." The Captain replied, "I wish no words with you," and returned to his company with the flag. A good deal of excited talk occurred during the afternoon about the affair, and a

rginia. Upon the arrival of the Pioneer this morning, 9 o'clock, the prisoners were escorted on board by a number of the Guards, under command of Lieutenant Coburn. The excitement at the wharf was immense. There were repeated cheers for Jeff. Davis, and an altercation took place between Governor Hicks and Dr. Muse, who was very much excited. Mr. Ballard, a lawyer, tried his utmost to sue out a writ of habeas corpus. The excitement rose to such a pitch that the soldiers charged upon the Friday, July 12, 1851. We learn from other sources that the prisoners brought up were Messrs. Lyon, G. W. Alexander, and two others, named Ousick and Murphy. Although they were arrested upon civil process, for "aiding and abetting Jefferson Davis, and levying war against the United States," they were treated with every indignity, and on applying to Gov. Hicks to be treated with decency, and not as felons, received from him the answer that they were in the hands of the military, and t
