A Handsome flag.
-- Two ladies (
Mrs. Jno. James and
Mrs. Pendleton--have arrived in
Richmond from
Baltimore, bringing with them a beautiful flage of the
confederate States, which is to be presented to the
Perrett Guards, of New Orleans, now encamped at Grove Wharf.Ȅ
Mrs. James, who presents the flag, has four sons in the
Southern Army, two of whom are member of the above-named Company.
She experienced many difficulties in her Journey hither; but, with woman's inventive resources, managed to keep the flage concealed, and arrived in safety.
We are glad to chronicle this additional instance of patriotism on the part of the ladies of
Baltimore.
The flag is large and fabricated of the richest silk, and the tassels are of heavy
blue and
gold bullion.
In a circle of fifteen stars is the inscription — Presented by the ladies of
Baltimore to the
Perrett Guards, of New Orleans.--
Mrs. James, accompanies by party of friends, will go down to the encampment to-day and present the flage in person.
The Guards are connected with
Col. Hunt's Fifth Louisiana Regiment.
