We have already told our readers of the gallantry
of the rangers at Bardstown. It was undoubtedly the most brilliant cavalry
dash of the war. The boys gained the greatest praise on that occasion. We
have now in our office one of the trophies from the field in the shape of
a silk flag taken there, which has been sent by Col. Wharton
to the Governor, by the hand of Dr. Staton
who has kindly left it with us a few days for exhibition.
