A Committee of the Louisiana State Convention, appointed to prepare a flag and seal for that State, thus express their opinion of that Pelican which has so long been the cherished emblem of Louisiana: On consultation, and especially with those descended from the ancient colonists of the country, the Committee found, that what has been considered the symbol of Louisiana, commands neither their favor nor their affection. The pelican is in form unsightly, in habits filthy, in nature cowardly.Committee found, that what has been considered the symbol of Louisiana, commands neither their favor nor their affection. The pelican is in form unsightly, in habits filthy, in nature cowardly. The Committee also learned from Audubon, to their amazement, that the story of the pelican's feeding its young with its own blood is, in expressive phrase, gammon. Therefore they do not commend this water-fowl as a fit subject for their flag, but rather as one of loathing and contumely.--N. Y. Times.

Pensacola, April 26.--Soldiers still arrive by every train. Three companies from Louisiana arrived to-day, also a hundred water soldiers (marines) from New Orleans. Gen. Bragg has now under his command about 8,000 troops — a larger number, I believe, than Gen. Scott commanded in the valley of Mexico. They are all in fine health, and anxious for the hour that decides the destiny of self and country. The crisis approaches nearer and nearer. Another day of soldier toil has added to the great preparation. The commander of Fort Pickens is unceasing in his military labors. Like Bragg's, his men work day and night. They have thrown up a battery out-side, but near the walls, of heavy guns, obtained from their ships, while on the ramparts they are piling bag upon bag of sand to protect their guns and men. And all this visible to the naked eye — even their muskets, stacked on the beach. The Governor has accepted the tender of the two military companies of Pensacola, as well as

the rebel States. After a pause-- Mr. Bates--Have you finished? Commissioners--Not quite. [Then a speech from Commissioner No. 2, and a pause.] Mr. Bates--Have you finished? Commissioners--Almost. [Then a speech from Commissioner No. 3, and a pause.] Mr. Bates--Are you through? Commissioners--Yes, sir; you have our case. Mr. Bates--What States did you say composed your Confederacy? Commissioners--Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Louisiana. Mr. Bates--And Mr. Jefferson Davis is your President? Commissioners--He is. We are proud of him. Mr. Bates--We know Mr. Davis well by reputation. He is the same gentleman who stumped his State for two years in favor of repudiation, and justified the conduct of Mississippi in the United States Senate. We know the gentleman; and although we have no reason to be proud of him or his antecedents; I think I may safely say, that if you have brought with you to London the necessary fun

They've the men to do the fighting-- There's no use in scratchina and bitina; Hooray! hooray! hooray! Dixie Land! chorus. Oh, I'm glad I am in Dixie! Hooray! hooray! In Dixie Land I take my stand, To live and die in Dixie! Away! away! away down South in Dixie! Away! away! away down South in Dixie! The sovereign State of Alabama Will try her hand before they lam her; Look away! look away! look away! Dixie Land! So will our Mississippi brother, And Georgia, too, our mortal mother; Hooray! hooray! hooray! Dixie land! And Louisiana then will come, And Texas, too, will help us some; Look away! look away! look away! Dixie Land! And Arkansaw, with her tooth-picker, Will help us out a little quicker; Get away I get away! get away! Dixie Land! And next, Old North Carolina State, And, after that, what's good and great; Hooray! hooray! hooray! Dixie Land! When Lincoln gets on a Southern brake, We'll give him a touch of the rattlesnake; Get away! get away! get away! Dixie Land!

weakness and folly. Swollen with pride, infuriate with passion, and emboldened by the eager rush of numbers to their capitol, they have ceased prating about the honor of their Government; they no longer make specious appeals to patriotism, but, ignoring these high and potent motives, they address brute passions, and deliberately concoct and propose schemes which would shock and disgust savages. Their brutal soldiery are to possess our fair fields; one class of our population are reckoned upon as allies in the execution of their fiendish purposes; Louisiana is to be. conquered by letting in upon her the waters of the Mississippi, and the victors are to prey upon the virtue of our wives and daughters. These are the motives and objects loudly proclaimed by the gathering hordes. Fierce will be the coming strife. Steel and lead, and iron will be clothed with all their murderous power. The sword will drink its full of blood. Victory will be slaughter.--Charleston Courier, May 16.
