The nag was de, signed by General Beauregard, adopted first fir Dat Battle ~ of Manassas tBuli RanS. and afterward adopted by the. Confederate Congress. The reason for Its adoption was that in the smoke of battle the stasrs s the stars and Stripes. The battle lag was conceived on the field of battle, lived on the field of battle. and was proudly borne on every field from Manassas to Appomattox.
 Another flag of white except the cross bars in the corner, which were Of blue. as the National Flag of the Confed- crate States by the Confederate Con- gress. The other flag, which was adopt ed March {, 1885 was the same as the except a red stripe was added to It.
