can go no further. If the reader has followed us
SO far, has seen and admired each particular flag
we have mentioned he will surely wish TO retrace
his steps and take a second look at each. But we
had forgotten the banner the Crescent City Club
placed there yesterday, with its handsome design
and the motto-ftly chosen for the Democracy OF
Louisiana" Through trials to triumph" But we
were sorry TO notice the absence Of two very
hand ONE standards-those of the Seymour Le-
gion and of the Hendricks Guarts. We hope yet
to see them. We have, as yet, SAID nothing of the
| wreatbs and transparencies with which each BAN
| ner was adorned. Around the walls were the
handsome transpsreneiss which were used by the
Blair Knights when they received their banner !;
wresths innumerable filed up every portion be-
tween and above the banners LETT vacant, while
the pretty little pennsnts OF The Seymour Knights
were futeIiDg in all directions.
