From the Richmond Examiner, 4/4/1863
TROPHIES FROM THE BATTLE-FIELDS. – Commissioner Ould has
presented, through the Adjutant-General, to the Confederate States prison a
number of United States flags, taken at Murfreesboro and Vicksburg. One of the
flags of elegant silk, is spattered with the blood of one of its Yankee
defenders, and all of them are fine specimens of workmanship and skill. The
flags have been hung up in the office of the commandant of the Libby prison, and
will serve as an ever present reproach to the Abolitionist horde as they are
received at the prison.
