Those two matters, we hope, are in
tair way Of being settled. The SEN
ate Committee has reported bi! to
determine that the Confederate Flag
shall be Il white field, with tho well
known battle flag for an "union" in
its upper corner next the staff, and o
blue bar running horizontally through
the white field, and occupying ono
third Of the whole width. In other
words, the flag is to be white, blue
and white, instead Of red, white and

As for the colors Of the field, we are
told that the snow.white is to typity

This flag, however, has yet to be ap-
proved by the House; and it is said
that they will eXpungc the bar Of blue,
leaving pure white field with rcd

by the House, and will probably be
