BIRTH OF THE CQ-NF E IELY. A GLANCE itICK To THE DAYS OF TWENTY-FIF- Y-EAtRS AGO.

"No, sir, I was not with 'Mr. L)avis at Montgomery this week to hear him pronounce what you are pleased to call the funeral oraticn of the Confederacy. I was there with him twenty-ive yeatrs ago and heard him miake a pecch much more cheer.ul. It was Iis imant onral as President-the baptistda ser vice you inght call it-of the Conted eracy. I was one of the marshal's aids on that occasion, and represented South Carolina." The speaker, chatting with a group of Iis ir-ieuds. in the parlor of the National Hotel, was Col. Henry D. Capers, of Georgia. 1He has been here for several months and his erect tigure and gallant bearing are munch re marked. Ic wa- private secretary 0 the tir-t Confederate secretary of the treasury, and his reniseecr of ti. babyhood of that short-lived Govern ment are an interesting volume. The bitterest Northerner cannot begrudge the pathos in the spectacle of Jefferson Davis, a solitary old man, grey and feeble, standing up to speak in the memorial service of the rebellion, upon the steps of the very Capitol where he first stood forth its chief, in the prime of his manly strength and the first tush of its hopes, on the 18th February, V 61. ilow many he must miss of the higi-hearted, hot-blooded Southern chivalry who stood proudly around him that day' The 18th of February, 186I, was a beautiful Southern day, says Col. Capers. The sun beamed down on the natal occasion like a happy father, and a soft -southwest wind was lifting the leaves of the magnolia that twined with the laurel in many a iarge festoon about the Corinthian columns of the capitol. An immense concourse of people gathered to the inauguration, but so solemn were the ceremonies and so earnest were the people, that Col. Capers, sitting on horseback in the outskirts of the throng, heard dis tinctly every word of the eloquent opening prayer of Dr. Manly. The venerable divine and Vice-President elect Stephens rode in the carriage with 31r. Davis, and Howell Cobb, president of the convention. admi nis tered the oath of office. Mr. Davis spoke his inaugural quietly, but dis tinctly, and upon taking the oath raised his eves towards heaven and repeated the concluding words, "So help me God," in a tone so strong and clear that they could be heard by every one prezeit. There was a re ception that night and a brilliant ball. C..G. Meniinger, of South Carolina, was appointed secretary of the treasu ry, and otn the 20th Col. Capers, whom he selected as his private secretary, opened their office in the Commercial building. The accomniodations were limited, but convenient. There was a banking office on the ground floor. The State, treasury, war, navy and law departments of the new govern ment settled down in the twelve roous on the second story, none of then very large. Young Capers took posses:sioni of their office, swept out the cobwebs and dust himself, got in a few articles of furnitur-e, tacked a card on the door, hir-ed an ofiee boy an~d waited two whole days befor-e anybody came to do business. Then came a tall, soldierly-lotoking man wvitt: anl eager siep and the anis takable air of business. He wanted to see the secretary at on~ce upoa an im portant umitter. Ile handed the yotog private secretar-y an oiticial note anid rmuxedly said: "I am Capt. Deas, sir, lt ut tile United Strates at-mv. I have been in structed by P'resident D~avi,, who'se note I hand vou, to pr-ovide rations and blankets for- one hunidred men who have r-epoirted to him for duty in the army. I want :he money, sir-, to car-ry out the otrder- of tihe President." Col. Capers :asured the Captain thrat he was both willinga and ~mtious the men should lie tilledi and covered, but he. added, shaking out a pur-se that contained somtething le-s than $5: "I1 have been on conisideirablc of a frolic tor the last two weeks in Mo0nt gomery, and my itances are at this moment pretty low. This is all the money I am able to voutch for as being in the treasury depattment of the Confeder-ate States at this time."' Patriotism couldn't be allowed to go anfed and unblanketed, however, and after some delay the money was i-aised on the pi-ivarte credit of 3Mr. 3Mem minger-. The soldiers thus equipped were a company of Gecorgiarns, corm manded by Capt. G$eorge Washinigton Lee. They werec the iirst body of troops enlisted by, the Confedleracy. When their provisional Congress provided for a ioanr of $15,0,000,~ "to meet the emerencies of Government," they -thereby pr-ovided another emere gency. The G ovei-nmerit had Ino p~ petr to print their bonrds, ecrtitieates and noes upon. They managed to get the chief ingrediet~ of papfler money ciredit very well, but stuck 1ast a whije for lack of what is usually com p~arativecly valueless. The paper mills of the South made oiny the or-dinary niews paper and the common wrapping paper of tae shops. Trhe liner mnana ictories of the country lay north of the line of separation. G. B. Lamar-, president of the Bank of the Republic, in New York, aictitng as agent for the Confederate G.overnmnen t, ai-ianged to have the work done by the Amet-icatn Bank Note Company, but when the bonds and totes werec all handsomely printed and ready to be shipped the secret service officers of the National Government swoop~ed down~ and con fiscated the whole batch. The dlifli mity of finidiing paper and engravers was not solved until after the removal f the Goverrnmetnt from 31ontgomery o Richmond. The Rtichmtoind paper mills werec tinalvy able to furnish a sot >f bank-niote paer but the fit-st issueO was pr-imed by a litrm of Giertman ngravers ini Richmiond on paper muggled thr-ough the lines from Bal timore. The Iir-t pr oof-shreet, of eight me-hundr-ed dollar bills, was fr from handsome, but they wet-e itn a rry and. th1ey approved it. It is now in the poses-ioni of Col. Capers, and( bears upon the back of it this inrscr ip tion, made at the Lhee, in the hand writing of $ecretary 1e M ng ner: "When the money-chatgr ibecome amiliar with the pjectiiar leatue Inc these uncanny- bils it will be as diilicult to pass acotuntertlt as ii they wer engraved oli steei by an expert ; ay e nore so.

The vessel wa the Samter. SEMitS WHITTLES FoR IlS PAPEuS. But vhen she was ready to sail and her register made out, it was discov ered at the last Moment that the treasury department of the Confederate States had no seal. There wasn't an engraver to be fouid in Montgomery, and Semmes was impatient to get his papers and be off. So he and Col. Capers, aided by a handy young army surgeon, and at the expense ot two or three ponknive, carved a rude seal upon a piece of boxwood, which met the immediate need. Seinies got his register, and the Santer set sail under the Stars and Bars. There was quite a timne over the adoption of that flag. A considerable number were in favor of sticking to the old flag, with slight Ioditications, but Mr. Miles, of South Carolina, chairman of the Congres sional fag committee, argued at length in his report against this sentimental idea, and added, by way way of a clincher, that Liberia and the Sandwich Islands had flags verv similar to ours, and the committee was not disposed, therefore, if for no other reason, "to keep, copy or imitate it. They have 1o inclination to borrow second-hand what has already been pilfered or appropriated by a free negro com munity and a race of savages."
