W. E. Hidden, who has been in Western North Carolina for several weeks in search of the mineral, platinum, for use in Edison's electric light, arrived in the city yesterday. He has visited twenty-nine places in Burke, McDowell, Iredell, Buncombe, Henderson, and other western counties in which the metal is supposed to exist, and has thus far met with no success. He left last night for Abbeville county, South Carolina, where it is represented in the newspapers that the uietal has been found in appreciable quantities.

He has found two metals, zircon and samarbkite, in considerable quantities, both of which can be used with great advantage by Mr. Edison. The former possesses the pecular quality of infusi-bility in the electric light, which may be of the highest importance to the famous iuventor. The latter is a combination of many instances, of which comparatively little is known, and any one of which may also prove valuable. General Clingman has a large mine of the foimer.

Mr. Hidden also discovered a mineral, anastace, which was not hitherto known to exist in this State, and another which is entirely unknown to the scientific world.

"When the Confederate Provisional Congress met at Montgomery, early in 1861, the necessity for the new confederation was made evident. Several designs were submitted, from which was chosen the follewing, which was the first flag A field of three horizontal bars or stripes, the upper red, the centre white, the lower red in the left upper corner a blue union, with a star for each seceded State.

Within two hours after the adoption of this flag it was flying over the capitol at Montgomery. It was never displaced by Congress until the spring of 18 G3, though owing to its resemblance to the United States flag, mary suggestions for a change were made. The resemblance of the two flags was found at the battle of Bull Run, July 18, 18G1, to be so great that many persons in both armies believed that each side had used as a stratagem the colors of its oponent. It was immediately determined to adopt a battle flag for the Confederate forces, and in September, 18G1, Generals Joe Johnson and Beauregard chose the well-known "battle flag of the army of the Potomac," (as it was at first called) whicli became so dear to Southern hearts. The field of this flag was crimson, its bars were blue, and running diagonally across from one corner to the other, formed tho Greek cross.

The stars on the bars were white, equal in number to the States of the Confederacy. Tho blue bars were separated from the red field by a narrow white fillet." The size of this famous flag was, for infantry, 4x4 feet. It had the merits of being small and light, and very distinct at great distances. It was not, however, though in use constantly, adopted by the government until it became tho union of the socond and third flags and the "stars and bars" coutinued to be flown by vessels and forts. In May, 1843, the Confederate Congress, in session at Richmond, adopted the second flag, which was of the following design The field of white in left upper corner a union of red across this diagonal stripes of blue, with white stars, five pointed, thereon, equal in number to the Confederate States.

It will be seen that the banner thus chosen was the battle flag used as a union, on a white ground. An attempt was made by the State to place a blue strip in the centre of the white field, horizontally, but this failed, and the beautiful banner described was prescribed as the Confederate flag. The size of this ensign was made 4x6 feet, but was afterwards modified, and reduced to tho dimensions of the battle flag, 4x4 feet.

Dr. William Elmmer, the well-known lecturer on art anatomy, died in SoHth Mllford, last Wednesday.

He modelled "The Falling Gladiator" and "G3iris." The statue of the "Gladiator" was sent to Europe, and when unpacked in Paris the art students of the city locked to see it.

Commotion in the Cattle Trade. Boston Com Bulletin. The principal topic of discussion in tbe live stock trade just now is the question of establishing a national cattle quarantine, with a particular view to checking the pleuro-pneumonia. The movement derives its chief support from the cattle kings of the Western plains. Thousands of petitions for the new law have already been sent to Congress, and the subject will certainly receive consideration at the apDoaching session.

Of the 35,000.000 cattle in the United States, representing a capital of $1,200,000,000, at least 15,000,000 feed on the nutritious grasses of the Western plains. This disease of the pleuro-pneumonia was first reported in Central Europe about a century ago, and it was then confined to animals living in mountainous regions, but finally it epread to the low countries of Holland in 1833, Belgium in 1837.

In 1843 the disease appeared in tbia country, arriving at New York from Germany, bat it did not assume the epidemic form until 1859, when it broke out in a herd of Holstems at Belmont, near this city, and spread over New England with extraordinary rapidity, maintaining its destructive energy until 1865, when, at a cost of millions of dollars to the States over which it swept, and after a loss of the Confederaey, is as follows: The width two-thirds its length; with the and one new case this mornirg.
