The broad Bars of the Confederacy.

--We protest against the words ‘"stripes,"’ as applied to the broad bars of the flag of our Confederacy. The word is quite appropriate as applied to the Yankee ensign or a barber's pole; but it does not correctly describe the red and white divisions of the flag of the Confederate States. The word is bars --we have removed from under the stripes. As we speak of the flag, we may mention that the Committee on Flags caused the Secretary of Congress to order one from Mobile, for the Capitol, which will probably arrive to-day. It is 28 feet long, by 18 in width; and, as the Congress has adjourned till May, will probably be turned over temporarily to the War Department.--Montgomery Mail.
