The armery of the Atlanta Rifles Is now decorated with a beautiful Con­ federate flag. The flag was present­ ed to the cotnphny last night by Mr. Dearing. of the Atlanta Artillery in a pleasant little speech. It was made by a young lady, who donated it to the Rifles. Accompanying the Hag was a card saying that it was the banner un­ der which our country fought, and wishing the Rifles to prize it.--Atlan­ ta Constitution, April 2. If the Confederate flag above re­ ferred to had been an old relic of the late war, Its presentation might be taken as, to some degree, appropriate and perhaps unex optional. But Is there not ?a just and righteous cause for Indignation when a regularly or­ ganised military company will accept as their standard the banner of dis­ union to the exclusion of*the Stars and 8tripes?

Up to the present time thers bave been filed 15,000 claims under the re­ cent act granting pensions to survivors and widows in the Mexican war. Of this number 347 have so far been al­ lowed and three rejected. Congress having adjourned without making the necessary appropriation for additional clerical force to perform the work put upon the Bureau by the bill, the office Is very badly crippled and a volunteer force is employed after office hours in adjudicating this class of claims.--JVa- Uonal Tribune. Confederate Dependent Penalea4 The horror with which the gentle­ men representing the Solid South af­ fected to view dependent pensions was hypocricy. They fully recognize the j istiee of such legislation among themselves, and most, if not all, of the States lately in rebellion have had for years laws upon their statute books making provision for those Confede­ rate veterans who are unable to sup­ port themselves. Of course this sup­ port Is not very liberal, but this Is because the whole South pleads pover­ ty, but It has been enough to establish the principle that the State owed a support to the men who broke them* selves down Is its service. As early as 1866 Louisiana established a home lor those who were wounded or disabled in the Confederate service, or who, having served in the Confede­ rate army, ware now diseased, eafeebled and unable to support themselves. This home, located near New Orleans, Is still maintained in goo4 style. In addition the State has given all those who lost limbs artificial ones, and nearly every year it votes a •um of money togfcMp these in repair aid supply ntw ones. In 1886 a law was passed allowing every resident of Louisiana who servsd In the Conltde- ; Vs^-V 1 rate army and was seriously Injured by that service to enter 160 acres of land. To get this they are required to show that they are In Indigent circum stances. Wldow3 of Confederate soldiers who were killed in tke war or have died slnee on account of their Injuries are allowed, if indigent, to enter a similar quantity of land. South Carolina (Ives the disabled Confederates In her borders 9200 a year each, and artificial limbs for those who need them. She Is contem­ plating the passage of a still more liberal pension law. Alabama spend* oyer 9100,090 a year on the disabled Confederates within her borders. She provides artificial limbs for those needing them, pays special pensions to the blind and other­ wise maimed, and appropriates a sum ot money each year for distribution among the needy, with the provision that no one shall get more than 950. Mississippi has been most generous In providing for her disabled and needy ex-Confederates^ She boars artificial limbs for thoso ,who lest theirs, and exempts from taxation all the incomes and salaries of suoh ex- Confederates as are totally disabled, or whose inoome Is leas than 9500 a year. In addition a large earn is ap­ propriated every year for distribution among the Indigent ex-Confederates and the widows and orphans o! each. Similar provisions are made in the other States, but we have not the data at hand to ipeak ipreclsely on the point. There is no cant about pauperi­ zing," "encouraging perjury" and similar stuff when they are votln; relief to the Confederate vote No, Indeed.--National Tribune* They Met by Ohanoe. ; ; While in Washington the we had the pleasure of meeting G-en. B, F. Kelley, well known to many of our citizens as the man who struck the flrst efleetual 'blow* for the Union at Phtlippl in the war of the rebellion* One day last week an incident oc­ curred at the National Hotel which shows that individuals are not always, like Republics, ungrateful, and which we give to the readers of the Sentinel, fresh from the lips of the general him* self: In the spring of 1862, Kelley was sta­ tioned for awhile with his regiment at Clarksburg. One day a Captain Gor­ don, a Confederate spy, well ksswn te this section of the state, was captured by some Union men and turned ever to Kelley, who immediately forward- ed hint to Fort McHenry, where be was tried and condemned to be bung, according to the usages of war. * His execution was fixed for a certain day. within a very short time after the trial. Meanwhile during some skir­ mishing in the vicinity of Petersburg, Captain Rhaub, ]of Wheeling, and an officer of Kelley's regiment, was cap­ tured by the rebels and held as a sort of hostage for Captain Oordon, The Confederates sent General Kelley word that If Gordon was hanged they would retaliate by a similar treatment of Rhaub, This roused the sympathies of the General, and he at once sent a statement of the oase to President Lincoln, concluding his letter with a request that in orjer to spare the life of Rhaub. who was a brave and valua­ ble officer, the President would com mute Gordon's sentence. Mr. Lincoln granted the request, and Gordon was sent to Fort Delaware. Of oourse Rhaub'slife was spared, ant! he was soon after returned to hla regiment. Kelley did not hear from Gordon after bis removal to Fort Delaware,>and was never able to learn his fate. Twenty years passed. Last Tuesday week the General was sitting ia the lobby of bis hotel iu Washington, be was ap­ proached by a stranger, who said: "Have I the pleasure of addressing General B. F. Kelley, of West Vir­ ginia?" On being answered In the affirma­ tive, be continued: "I see you do not recognize me. The last time we met was under rather trying olrcumstaaoes --to me. I am Captain Gordon, the Confederate spy, whom you captured at Clarksbursr and caused to be con­ demned to die. I recognized you in­ stantly, and as this Is the flrst oppor­ tunity I have bad to thank you per­ sonally for saving my life, I do so now, You possibly may not know how near to death I was when you asked Lin­ coln to spare me. Well, sir, it was withl^ three hours of the time set for my execution. My father, mother, and in fact the entire family bad taken what we supposed was the last farewell of me. It was a sad interview--more than eveu a soldier cauld stand, and as they bade me a last good-bye, never expecting to see me alive again, I completely broke down^ After they departed I set about making my prep­ arations to die, for it wanted but three hours until the time would arrive for me to meet that terrible death. But Lincoln's message came to with­ hold the execution of the sentence. It is beyond the power of tongue to describe the feeling of relief that came over me on receipt of the news. None but a man under similar circumstance* can understand or appreciate my feel­ ings, When I learned that it was you my captor, to whom I owed thanks for my deliverance, I resolved I would thank you at the Km opportottf ty, and here I am to keep my resolattfta." Then the two who bad mortal enemies years befof* hands across the bloody chasm," and >3 Immediately became fast frisnds. It was a remarkable because of the peculiar ciraikiK<£ <, stanoes of their parting tn 1861.

"The servloe"' only seemed to broaden Beriah's opportunities, and although a good soldier, something had to bo done to pull blm in, as in no way could his source of supply bo discovered aad cut oft. So one day the Colonel sent for him, and after a long, friendly chat about home matters, old tlmee and the like, the Colonel approached the point is this manner: "Now BerP, we have always been good friends, and I know yon like a little good liquor, and know what good liquor Is, aad won't use any other.
