Confed flag raised over Georgetown amid Civil War era tensions
Readers report a rebel battle flag flown for hours from a Hancock and English pole in Georgetown near the Capitol. Plans to fly it near Arlington Heights failed after Fort Whipple warned against trouble, prompting a move to the Maryland side seen by hundreds. General Williamson calls Western surveyors to Salt Lake City for reforms. Northern Pacific directors election details and railroad funding requests follow. A separate report describes rising land agitation and a murder stirring panic among landowners, with calls to hold agitators responsible.
