TATTERED and SCARRED CONFEDERATE FLAG WILL BE PRESENTED TO STATE Charleston, Jan.4.-Tattered and battle scarred, the Confederate flag of the old regiment, the 10th South Carolina, will be presented by GEN. C. IRVINE WALKER to the state at the approaching session of the legislature. A joint session of the House of Representive and the Senate will be arranged by the governor to accept the flag and the chief executive personally will make the speech of acceptance. It was through all the battles and campaigns of the western army that the flag was carried at the head of the regiment, as BRAGG, JOHNSTON and HOOD battled gallantly for the Confederacy and the state of South Carolina. For 60 years, General WALKER has treasured the flag, and realizing that he is near the close of life, it is said, he decided to place it in the custody of the state for preservation. GENERAL WALKER , who was for the last year of the war, lieutenant colonel of the regiment and commanded it on after the battle of Atlanta to the end, surrendering it at Greensboro, will be present at the exercises and will be introducted to the legislature, it is stated. The ceremonies will be impressive. The flag will be escorted into the legislative hall by GEN. W.A. CLARK and staff, the veterans of Camp Hampton and the Soldiers home in Columbia and the president of the local chapters of Daughters of the Confederacy. During the Chicamauga campaign the 10th and 19th South Carolina regiments were consolidated and the flag became that of both regiments. --- Nancie
