The work upon the flags which will be
 presented next Saturday at Mobile to the First regiment of Alabama Volunteers is
 progressing rapidly, considering the many intricate details.
 The patriotic women meet every day in
 the rooms of the Commercial club and sew. 1 with tireless energy.
 | Each lady is embroidering star which, when completed, will be sewed on the blue I field of the flag. The lettering on the l stripes is also of the finest needlework. ! The eJwsh ladies of the city have taken l upon themselves the task of embroidering one of these stripes. The regimental flag is l to eonsst of solid blue with the coat of l arms of Alabama panted in the middle of it. Jackson HaIstead is attending to this l part of the work.
 Both flags will be trimmed in the finest I gold fringe and tassles. The flag poles were
 received yesterday by Loveman, Joseph & | Loeb. and are very handsome. Too much cannot be said in praise of the courtesies { of ths firm to the ladies as well as of Mama ger Williams of the Western Union. He has sent many dollars worth of telegrams for the ladies free of cost.
