F Hart lias given 1 the reporter official inforinu- ! tion ns lo (lie dates of the adopt ion I of 11)9 different modifications of i 11)?> Cot)federate Hair, anyH the York- ; vdle Enquirer. The first flag known hh tlie "stars and liars" was adopted by the Confederate Coll ^rees on March i, 1 <Sfll. It was discarded after the lirst battle of Manassas on account of its simil- i arity to the flair of the lTnion, and the resulting confusion because ??f mistaking the one for the other. | The "battle Httg" was devised by (ipn. Beauregard in September 1801. It was never recognized of. j ticially liy congre-s. in its original form. Originally it was a rectangular piece of red hunting. Ira-i versed from corner to corner with bars of blue. ()n the blue burs' there were thirteen white slurs. Afterward, on May 1, lytJ.'t. congress changed this rectangular tl into a square, placed it in the up- | l>er left hand corner of a white j held and constituted the new com. i bination as the llug of the Confederacy. The white gave trouble in being mistaken uh a Hag of truce, and on March H, lNb~>, a red bar was added to the free end. This, ' as has been stated, constituted the lust Hag of the Confederacy.
