INAUGURATION OF THE FLAG.


In pursuance of arrangements made by the Mill
tary Committee in the State Convention, the au-
thorfzed and adoptedfag of Independent Louisiana
was yesterday forenoon hoisted and unfurled to
the breeze from the top of the City Hall.
Lafayette Square Opposite the HalD was scene
of extraordinary brillianey and life. Numerous
military companies were there, in their full strength
and elegance the Washington Artillery fred ju-
biart salute with their polished field pieces; the
members Of the Convention appeared in body in
the square, and stood with uncovered heads whilst
the beautiful flag was unfurled to the breeze, and
whilst the music of the bands and the cannon firing
greeted it. The multitude of spectators was very
great, and the enthusiasm spread far and wide. q
We shall see, very soon, the flag of Louisiana
unfurled from all the public places. The pelican
has been garroted, and there appears to be no
Good Samaritan left to endeavor to restore it tc
life or to preach its funeral sermon.

that all he d es is with single eye to the

that nothing under the sun ca" ever induce
that man to swcrve from what ne believes
