THE FLAG OF THE CONFEDERACY ON THE BREEZE

At a little after noon yesterday the Congress adopted a Flag for the Confederacy-which may be described thus: Three bars, each in width one-third of the depth of the flag; the upper and lower bars red, and the middle one white; a blue filed in the upper left hand corner, with seven stars in a circle.

The Secretary of the Congres was ordered to have a flag prepared and hoisted on the Capitol immediately; and under the direction of Commodore WIngraham, and assisted by Lieut. Col. Sayre, late of the U. S. Marine Corps, the ensign of the Federation was prepared and ready for hoisting by a little before 4 o’clock, p.m., when it was run up by Miss Tyler, (a grand daughter of ex-President Tyler) in the presence of a considerable crowd. The Blues saluted the flag with seven guns; and Mr. Cunningls fine Band, from the theatre, furnished excellent music for the occasion.-Montgomery Mail, 5th
