HISTORY OF CONPED-1CRATE UNIFORMAND FLAG.

Designs From WhichTllPlf Iiivy *» VI v n\IU|IIV.\l

Were Made by NicolaMarschall, a PrussianArtist, Who, Por MoreThan Thirty Years HasLived in Louisville. j

Located in the very heart of !the busy city of Louisville, in a' j

well-known business building is 1a time-stained yet time-honored Jroom. Its walls are darkened 1with the finger marks of the 1

passing years, and the whole de- ]meanor of the place is unobtrusiveand unpretentious. Yet is 1this place rich in its treasured 1

. holding of arts, its clustered (memories and traditions of the 1

old South or the Southland ofAnte-Bellum days. ~ J

It is a genius who presides Jover this place. It is the art 1studio of Nicola Marschall, mu- Jni^inn nnrhrait naintor on rl 1signer of both uniform and flag tof the Confederate States of }America. From his Prussian

*

homeland, where he was made *skilful musically and trained to ^the painter's art, this man, then 1in his youth, came over land and v

sea to America a^Sne of the most \rugged arid pictilv^que periods *

of this Country's history, the *memorable gold-fever days of'49. It was in Alabama that he £

found the home 'for which he jsought. «

* Within the borders of thatState he remained for a time,returning then to the Europeancountry of his nativity, there to ]perfect the study of his chosencalling. Again he journeyed tothe Southland, this time to makeit his home for life. It was attN} little town of Marion, Ala.,Ofagfche eve of the struggle betViienthe North and South, that

' he$lrew the designs that willlive in history.the Confederateuniform trf gray that stands forthe grandest army that evermarched "in tide of times" andthe banner under which thatarmy battled.the Stars andBars. With no other compensationthan the pride it caused himto serve the South and the pleasureit gave him to honor a woman'srequest, these designswere made by Nicola Marschallin 1861 and adopted by the Southern Confederacy.

Jfl is a veritable curiosity shop, a

still dear to the people of theSouth. Portraits of Robt. E. Lee,Joseph E. Johnson, J. C. Breckinridge,William Preston andBragg are among those in hisstudio. These are but a few ofthe Confederate leaders whoseportraits he has painted. Amongthe best pictures he has everpainted were two of Gen. N. B.Forrest, the "Wizard of the Saddle,"who was' the personalfriend of Mr. Marschall.In Qbscure corners of his studio

are old and worn chests, securedwith bands of steel. One of jthese bears the inscription, "N.Marschall, 2d Engineers' Regimentof Alabama. It is the kit:which Mr. Marschall carried withhim when he served the^South jis an army engineer during thewar. In another box are scrapbooksand papers, among thembeing letters written Mr. Marshallby generals and statesmen>f the South during and after thewar.There is probably no document

imong those Mr. Marschall hasnore interesting than a letterntroducing him to President Jef-.'erson Davis, written hv Hon w

Forrest. The letter was writenin 1872 when Gen. b'orrestvas president of the old Selma,darion and Memphis Railroad.Jen. Forrest lived in Marion,Ua., then, at which place Mr.darschall made his home, and itvas when the latter contemplaed£oing to Memphis, wherePresident Davis was then, that;he letter was written.The story of how Mr. Marjchallcame to design the uniform

tnd flag of the Confederacy is)est told in his own words.

THE DESIGNER'S STORY."I came to this country," he

aegan, "when I was 18 years ofige. My home was in St. Weniel,Prussia, and I left therethat I might continue professionallywith music and art, insteadaf having to serve in thp army.[ left with the permission of mygovernment, something moreeasily secured then than now. Ilanded in New Orleans and fromthere made my way in Mobile,where lived a relative of mine,who had preceded me here. Imet him on the eve of his departurefor California. It was in1849 that I landed in America,when the tide of humanity wasflowing toward the gold fields ofthe Pacific coast."My kinsman tried to persuade

me to ioin his mininc nartv andgo to California in search ofwealth. But I was then as farIaway from home as I cared tobe, and so declined to go. I becameacquainted with one of theteachers in the female seminaryat Marion, Ala., and learned thatit was one of tne garden spots ofthe South. Wealthy planterslived there; it was a seat of learningand claimed as citizens manyof the oldest and most aristocraticSouthern families. I decidedto go to Marion, and go Idid. I became a teacher at theseminary there, where I taughtpainting, violin, piano, guitarand the French ana German languages.My studies in Europe of draWinrronrl nointinfr nnnr aaviuu) maMciv* iivn ovx aaav;

and remained in Europe for twoyears continuing my studies of'art I studied both in Munich

'

the collars of their coats, tyars-!for Lieutenants and Captains,stars for the higher officers.I returned to America in 1859and again located in Marion.There I painted many portraitsof the wealthy painters and

members of their family, as wellas of other prominent people ofthe South. Andrew Moore wasthen a Judge at Marion. Heafterward became War Goveraofetof Alabama, and was one of themost important? men in thosedays in our part of the country.Mrs. Napoleon Lockett, a beautifulSouthern woman of an oldVirginia family and the wife ofa wealthy planter, lived atMarion. Her eldest son marriedthe eldest daughter of GovernprMoore and one of her youngersons married one of the youngerdaughters of Governor Moore.REQUEST FROM MRS. LOCKETT.

4 'Soon came the first notes ofwar. Mrs. Lockett was as loyala daughter as the South had,andi

ytao niuUi liiitiesiccl in its aftairsthen. She came to me one dayand said: 'Mr. Marschall, wehave seceded, and the ConfederateGovernment wants a flag.Will you make us a design? Itmust not be too unlike the UnitedStates flag, but different enoughto be distinguished at a distance.'"At once I took pencil and

paper and made three differentdesigns. The first was of twored tripes and ore of white, witha blue field beanng / seven whitestars.indicating the number ofStates that had then seceded.in. the upper left-hand corner.The second design was the same,ovonrvf tViof KIiiav/vvvjpt umv i/iiv uiuc nciu w Il/lI

stars was at the extreme left ofthe white stripe, instead of thetop red stripe. The third designhad the two full red stripes attop and bottom, the white stripein the middle with the blue fieldand white stars in the centre."

It is a matter of historical factthat this first design, made byMr. Marschall, was the flagadopted by the ConfederateGovernment, it is also wellknown to those familiar withSouthern history that this flag.the Stars and Bars.was placedon the staff above the capitol atMontgomery, Ala., on March 4,1861, by Miss J. C. Tyler, ofVirginia. She was a granddaughter of John Tyler, Ex*Prtesident of the United States.Continuing his interesting narrative,Mr. Marschall said: 'Mrs.

Lockett thanked me for the flagdesigns, and started to go. Thenshe came back, adding: 'Wealso want a design for a uniform,Mr. Marschall. Can't you suggestone?' The thought occurredto me of the gray uniforms I hadseen worn by the Austrian sharpshooters.I took a piece of paperand made several rough sketches,indicating the gray color, andalso the colors on the collars todenote the branch of the service.buff for officers, yellow forcavalry, blue for infantry, redfor artillery, etc.

It did not occuf to me thenthat I had done anything worthyof note. I simply made thesketches at the request of Mrs.Lockett. I knew no more aboutthem from then until I foundthat the uniform and one of theflags had been adopted by theConfederacy."This is the story of how thegray of the Confederate armyand the banner under which thatarmy fought, were made.a storytold by tne one who conceived

Columbia Jim Wicks and myselfran away to the first station,then boarded a freight train,came to Alston, and there wemet several others from the 15thregiment, among whom was TomKnox and James Ward. Wethen footed it to Union, reachingthere next morning. Jack Farrwas at home on furlough at thattime. All started back on July29, reached Richmond August 2,went down to Chaffin's farm,some six or seven miles belowRichmond, Lieut. W. R. Briggscommanding. He wanted tohave all of us, about nine or tenin all, arrested, but Jack said no.We remained there several days,worked on some breastworks, butno incident of any importanceoccurred. Our next move wepacked up, went to Richmond,boarded the train and went toGordonville. That was the lastI saw of our baggage. We thenstarted on our long and tiresomemarch. The weather being veryhot, and we not accustomed tosuch hardships, it was tuff indeed.The various places wereached during the 1862 campaigndoes not come to mymemory now, but company Halways played a conspicuous parton our marches when we wouldawu ai

some of the biggest cabbage at tthe foot of the mountain that I 1ever saw. Forward was the 1command to the battery, but the r

yankees were wise enough to \make their escape before we rcreached them. We then turned 1back to the road, halted, stacked iarms and lay down. Jack Farr, tCharlie Giles, Ed Milwood, YMarion Fowler, Columbus Wor- Jthey, myself and several others Ygot a light and went over the abattle ground where they had gbeen fighting on our left all the devening. We saw several dead tyankees, one yankee captain as cmuch like J. M. Powell, of Union, tas I ever saw.

We went and had a fine time untilafter noon, when we wereordered back to the regiment.On our return back to the citywe saw young girls standing onporches making speeches to theSouth Carolina boys and wantinga S.
