To the Convention Of Louisinua:
GeEtlenlen-You will no doubt have obtained
| through the public papers general knowledge OF
the progress which the Convention has made in its
labors, but We have thought that communication
directly from ourselves might be acceptable.
Haying adopted a Constitution for Provisional
Government, we proceeded, in obedience to your
Instructions to establish government under that
Constitution, and to put it in immediate operation.
As no free government can exist without laws
to guide and control its action, the enactment OF
the laws necessary to put the government III opc-
ration embraced wide field Of legislation. We
had a President, it is true, but he was without the
executive departments, whose aid is ndispensably
necessary in the discharge Of his duties. The
Confadcracy was without a judiciary, without
posta system and dependent for its mail facilities
on a foreign government that might Withdraw them
at any moment; without the means OF establishing
Intercourse with foreign nations, without an army
or navy, without money or the authority to pro-

OLD ABE's HEGIRA.--Tke Louisville Courier in
dulges in the following filings at Old Abe for his
undignifed flight from Baltimore to Washington:
In q recent speech Lincoln promised to put his
"fnot down firmly" When fellow 31H3s he puts
his foot down firmly and rapidly. lie must have
alluded to his intended fight to Washington.
If Lincoln had heguu to nae his legs IS soon as
he left home, and gone straight to Washington,
possibly the eountryfo yet awhile would have dis
covered neither his ignorance nor bis cowardice.
The Rail-Spttar shonld now be called the Rail.
Rider for he rode the rails of the railroad ihr0ugh
Baltimore with more agility than he ever exhibited
in ra-splitting.
With one voice the country onndemn7 Lincons
speeches as very Sl01B !; and with equal unaumity,
We believe, his running s pronounced fast.

FLAG OF THE conEEDERArED STATE

FLAG OF THE CONFEDERATED STATES.
AHEAD OF THE CONVENTION, OR Nor ?-Some
two weeks ago. the patriotic citizens around the
New Basin subscribed a sum of money and depos.
tied it, for the purpose o! having made flag of the
Southern Conrederacy, upon the first information
of the adoption of such flag by the Congress at
Montgomery.
Yesterday morning. dispatch received
from Montgomery, Ala, dated the day before, and
reading az follows:
M'--: The following is description of our
flag: Blue union, with seven white stars three
horizontal stripes, red, white and red first red
and the white extending from union 10 end of flag,
and lower red strpe extending whole length of
flag, occupying entire space below The union :;
the stripes all Of equal width.
lSsnedi HUBERT.
In about one hours time after this dispatch was
received, Messrs. P. McGuigin and Chas. Braisted
sailmakers at No. New Basin, had scssored mp
their bunting and tackled the pieces together, and
had the flag according to tue pattern above tele-
graphcd) thrown out to the breeze, upon which it
futtercd all day.
Last night the flag was taken in, and duly wet
with champagne, and toasted and speeched about.
We were present, and never saw a more entlu-
siastc meeting of the kind.
Several moDlbcrs of the State Convention, now
sitting here, believe there is q mistake or sell
about it, as they have not yet received the news
of the adoption Of a Southern flag. But it is GER
tain that the dispatch came from or through the
head tclegraphcr at Montgomery, [NIr. Hubert)
and was received and acted upon in good faith by
the gentlemen around the New Basin.

MORTAR PRACTICE.


Whilst Capt. Dreux's company, the gallant Or
leans Cadets, were standing on Canal street, yes
terday evening, awaiting the arrival Of General
Twiggs, several of them betrayed a readiness for
q mortar practice which could hardly have been
looked for in trained only to the musket
Standing in long line, " toes out, heels in,
eyes right and all right generally, the Captain
gave the order to step back, nearer to the curb
stone. The men did So with all the promptness
and mathematical accuracy for which that COM
pany are so deservedly distinguished. But it hap
pened that they had not noticed an inoffensive
mortar bed, filed with soft white plaster was be-
hind them, being in use for the building now being;
completed at the corner of Camp and Canal
As the men stepped back, those who came in
contact with the mortar-bOx toppled over back
ward into the mortar; whte-washing themselves
and muskets very thoroughly, aud seriously splat-
tering the bystanders The victims of this ooup
de mortar picked themselves up and disappeared
and it was some time before they were seen again.
| Q. c. Snodgrass, in his next lesson on military
tactics, should say something about the back-step
and give few hints upon the mortar practice, a!

THE MOBILE FIRE COMPANY.


At the fire, between 2 and O'Clock yesterday
morning, at the corner of Common and Carondc-
let streets, the Mobile company, Washington No. s.,
made q splendid show in the way of active service.
They, with multitude Of our city fremen were
at the time tripping it on the light fantastic" at
Odd Fellows Hall. AS their entertainers, Perse-
verance No. 49, took their new engine to the fire,
they did likewise; and the performance of their
new machine excited the wonder and admiration
Of all beholders. It threw stream which at first
was mistaken for stream from Of the steam
engines and after the fire was under, it played of
| the stars with one Of the steam engines, and the
| steam stream had no perceptible superiority over
the hand stream, except in its duration.
One of the prizes of this Mobile engine, is for
throwing water 239 feet; q feat never as yet ap-
preached by any other hand engine in the South.
The Mobliaus have just reason to be proud Of such
an engine in the hands of such company as
Washington No. 8.
The Mobile company left last evening for home,
being attended to the railroad depot by persever-
ance No. 13 and Jackson No. Is. The parting was
cordial, and the interchange Of mementoes liberal.
No. IS presented to the Mobilians gold medal,
and one of the beautiful wreaths they received on
Monday; the same which they received from the
fair hands Of little Miss Creed. They gave away
this token because they wished their Mobile breth-
ren to have something exquisite and lasting to re-
member them by, and had nothing more valuable
to offer. The Mobilians hung the wreath on their
banner and carried it away in triumph, and for
many year will it decorate their beautiful hall in
| Mobile.

ARKANSAS ELECTIoN.--A telcgraphic dispatch,
says the Memphis Appeal, received on last night
by Col. James Coleman. of this city, from Little
Rock, gives the official majority for Convention at
1856. There are said to be thirty straight out
secessionists elected, who are ready to "go out''
Monday morning "tofore breakfast" 1t may
reasonably be expected, since the recent unBatis,
factory action of the Peace Conference that Arkan-
sas days in the Federal Union are numbered. She
will go with the Gnlf States within ten days.
Abiding to the Convention election, the Little
Rock True Democrat Of the 2sLh ult. says:
Under the circumstances, whom it is remembered
that this question Of secession has never before
been presented to our people, their action we
regard az in the highest degree honorable to the
State. Had the whole subject been brought up
before them two or three weeks ago, and been
fully and ably discussed, there is now no doubt bu,
that the voice for immediate secession would have
been overwhelming.
