TEE MONTGOMERY HEUDDLE-A
ApECE,sgN DAY.

il il needed, when rather 1t sprouts from
stercoraceous bed Of corruption and Venaity, Is
always the object of laughter to settled States
and solid statesmen. In its assumption OF regal
airs in its strut and its swagger, in its monkey
fed politics, it reminds us OF nothing more
forciby than Of the 1.-TWO Right Kings of Brent

Or. il we nav be permitted TO make another
quotation from the same pregnant play, it shall
he this:
K-g. Pay.icior-wha, Is this that dare disturb our
D,drorH tia, dore' dras ard for that drink dares DIE
Ard knowing dis dircs Jet drink on en- l!
We suspect ihat there are Sufficient num-
tar Of Dfavcansirs in the Southern aruies who
not Only dare drink and dare die for drink, but
who be very apt TO die without drink; yet we
take it for granted that the Men of Montgomery
are oil solid philosophers, who leave liquor to
The poets and tie common soldiers, and whose
sole and sublime amusemcnts are the cOnstruc
ton of paper constitutions, the begetting Of
bodies polite, the eyocation OF cash out Of chaos,
and the general trausmogrifcation of small
slice of the late Union into a COniederacy The
millinery department Of Mr.. Jefferson Dayiss
new political concern seems, however, to make
the weichtest drafts upon the Southern Con
gressional intellect A nation without flag is
no nation at all-tbat sublime truth at least baS
dawncd upon the Southern ConEcderated mind.
Confederation Curry of Alabama, the other day,
brought u bushel of flags, Of model, of striped
aud Of starry flags, Of white, red, aud blue
nugs before the Congress, and exhibited them to
the Delegates just as that abhOrred creature,
Yankee peddler, shows Bis rainbow merchandise
10 the old ladies. One he dwelt upon aIcc-
ti0nately, as it was " designed by a gentleman
" of rare intellectual ENDORSEMENTS, and upon its
ample ard yaricgatcd folds the eagle
was preserved in an his planned and
pugnacious perfection The name Of the rare
intellectual gentleman ia not given; but, with oil
the rarity Of his intellectual powers, his pipe
was soon put out, so to speak, by lady, whe
sent piece of patriotic PATCHWORK which was
exceedingly admircd--a remarkable fact, since it
ia said to preserve much Of the resemblance of
" the dear old flag" which We should not think
would make il exceedingly beautiful in the eyes
of thieves and traitors. The Congress, being
much dazzl'd by all this display of bunting, re-
ferrcd the whole subject 10 the Flag Committee,
which, without unnecessary delay, has reported
and created the necessary banner. Thus the
Coniedcracy il provided for in that respect at
least, aud what more can it desire
Cash, clearly; for even a Southern Confede-
racy cannot live upon loquacty alone. Cash,
therefore, the Congress has proceeded TO raise,
or rather, not 20 speak with frghtiIll inaccuracy
has resolved to raisc, to the extent Of fifteen
millions, whenever anybody with moro bullion
than brains will lend that trilng sum for eight
per cent. One cannot but notice the exceeding
moiesty of this proposition, and particularly the
high rate of interest which the COnfederatOrs
propose to pay The Rothschlds will be upon
their knees for that loan, and the Barings will,
with tears in their eyes, beg for 1t. But what
we exceedingly wonder at, is the moderation of
the Congress. Why limit the " raise" to
Sl5, 000,0 0Ol Why not resolve TO borrow $780,
100000 1t will be just as easy to obtain the
larger sum as the lesser, and it hardly appears
TO be respectable for the nation to set itself
up in business upon petty fifteen million cap
ital. What will the pickings and stealings, so
necessary to the development Of patriotism, be
worth, with such triang stock as that TO ich
from Why it will hardly keep some men,
heads and fronts of the COniedcracy too, in pocket
money for quarter. Do you suppose that Pc
culators who only stood by the United States
while there was dollar in the Treasury for
