Across the front of the stand of the National Union Ratification Meeting, held in Baltimore in June, 1864, for the purpose of ratifying the nominations of the candidates for the Presideny and Vice-Presidency of the United States, was displayed the above thoroughly national motto, conceived by Mr. W. W. Carter of that city, in March, 1862, and which he afterward had inscribed upon a handsome silken Union flag, which he presented to President Lincoln in the following August, accompanied by a letter requesting: That the flag might be deposited in the War Department, in order that the motto might be incorporated into the national faith during the present struggle for the supremacy of the Constitution and the Laws, and the perpetuity of our nationality. The letter then continues: The motto is national, symbolic, and prophetic. The Heel of the Old Flag-Staff represents the

e and led it gallantly at the bloody battle of Shiloh, General Hindman commanding the division. When Corinth was evacuated, the brigade retreated to Tupelo, Miss., where it remained until the latter part of July, 1862. Then the regiment was sent to Chattanooga with General Bragg, and from there on the Kentucky campaign. It was present when 4,500 Federals surrendered at Munfordville, Ky., and was in line at Perryville, where Adjt. Sampson Harris, of Company A, was mortally wounded. Sergt. W. W. Carter, of Company A, was promoted to lieutenant and succeeded Lieutenant Harris as adjutant. Before the regiment left Corinth, Miss., about 200 of the Twelfth Arkansas regiment were organized into two companies and placed in the Sixth.

This reduced the Sixth considerably, and it was consolidated with the Seventh Arkansas infantry, about December 15, 1862. The regiment was engaged in the bat

tack. Schofield moved out as soon as it was dark, and by midnight had his army mainly at Nashville. General Hood took possession of the Federal works, but it was after his own army had suffered terribly and the enemy had escaped. Hood's loss was estimated at 5,000 or 6,000. He had lost some of his best generals. Cleburne of Arkansas, Gist of South Carolina, Adams of Tennessee, Strahl of Tennessee, and Granbury of Texas, were killed; John C. Brown, Quarles, Cockrell, Manigault, Scott and Carter were wounded, and G. W. Gordon captured. The general officers riding behind .their men or in line with them were shining marks for the deadly rifles aimed from a rest behind breastworks. Cleburne was killed in a charge at double-quick. His horse was first killed under him, and he pressed forward with his men on foot, when he was killed within a few hundred feet of the parapet. He fell pierced through by a single rifle ball. General Cleburne was loved by the men and honored by the of

Many fears are entertained for thpposed to be wounded. Gen. Morgan tries to excuse himself by saying that he had ordered Colonel Carter's regiment to make a forced march, and cut off our advance pickets at Big Springs. He says oing in the direction of the Gap under a flag of truce. He then says that he saw an order to Col. Carter that a flag of truce was within their lines, and not to fire on them. Col. Carter excuses hiCol. Carter excuses himself by saying that he never received any order whatever. Miserable excuse for such a cold-blooded murder, unparalleled in the annals of war. It appears that it was a premeditated affair on the part of Col. Carter. He had stationed his men for more than a mile in ambush. He then was too cowardly to halt our squadron, after having been told by citizens that it was a flag of truced Some of his
