Montgomery, Feb. 13,1861. Congress met to-day at noon. Prayer was offered by the Rev. J. C. Davis, of the Methodist Protestant Church. Journal of the preceding day was read and confirmed. Mr. Stephens—l have received a model flag for the Confederate States, from Mr. Jacob Platt, of Augusta, Ga., which I desire to have referred to the committee on flags, f have also a communication in relation to a device for a seal, lent to me by citizens of Richmond county, which I desire also to have refered to the same committee. All of which was accordingly referred. Mr. Wright—l have received a commun ication, which I ask leave to lay before Con gress. Etowah, Ga., 11th Feb., 1861. To Hon. A. K. Wright } Montgomery, Ala: Dear Sir—As my more immediate Rep resentative in the new Congress, I write to you. The new Government must have the means of defence. It must, in the shortest time, put up an armory, to cost Sboo,ooo, or it must contract with parties for 81,000,- 000 worth of arms, to be made at home in the promptest time. I can furnish the location, the most eligi ble in the South, or I can take the contract. This will be a great matter for the South. Mark A. Cooper. After some discussion by Messrs. Wright and Curry, the matter was referred to the committee on Military affairs. ‘remit Day. Montgomery, Feb. 14th, 1861. Congress met pursuant to adjournment at 12 o’clock, aud was opened with prayer by the ltev. Mr. Tichenor. The Journal of yesterday was read and approved. Mr. Boyce, of S. C. —Mr. President, I rise for the purpose of presenting to the Congress, with the view of reference to the appropriate committee, two models for the flag of our Confederacy. One of them has been sent to me by a gentleman of Columbia, South Carolina, the beautiful capital of my State, the seat of re finement and intelligence—where the South ern heart beats as ardently as at any spot within our limits. The other is sent to me by a lady with whom I am well acquainted, a neighbor of mine, who resides in the picturesque town of Winsboio’, Fairfield District, South Car olina. She is a lady of remarkable intelli gence, whose path through life has been illustrated by all those virtues which adorn the female character. I will take the liberty of reading her lettnr to the Congress. It is full of patiiotic fire. It is worthy of Rome in her best days, and might well have been read in the Roman Senate on that disastrous .ly .Un tlio victorious banner of the {rreat Carthagenian was visible from Mount Aven tine. And 1 may add. sir. that as long as our women are impelled by those sublime sentiments, and our mountains yield the metals out of which weapons are forged, the lustrous stars of our unyielding Confederacy will never pale their glorious fires, though baffled oppression may threaten with its im potent sword, or, more dangerous still, seek to beguile with the syren song of concilia tion. (Applause.) Southern Confederacy, } Winsboro’, S. C., Feb. 10,1861. j Hon. W. W. Boyce — Sir: — Enclosed I send to you a flag for the new Republic, designed by Mr. Ladd, which is simple, as all national flags should he. It is tri-colored, with a red union, sev en stars, and the crescent moon. It was all the design of Mr. L., with the exception of the stars in a circle or wreath, and placing the crescent moon among them, which 1 thought would be a fit emblem of our young republic; and by placing the stars in a wreath, others oould Ko forming a large wreath as other States come in. I am vain enough, if you please to term it so, (hut 1 term it patriotism) to feel that I would wish no greater honor than to see the slightest thing I had a hand in adopted by the Southern Confederacy. We have three boys to give to our coun try. Words could not express the glow of pride that throbbed our bosoms when I saw them ready to respond to their country’s call. Mv boys are part of a mother’s jewels freely given when needed. My next great est glory would be to see the design adopted and flung to the breeze. May it yet be un furled, floating proudly and free. Our great Washington fought for the principles we are now contending for, and thought he had secured them. May our young Republic honor his memory with the name of Washington Republic, dating from the 22d of February. The day would then be kept to celebrate two great events. Just as I had finished the word events, I heard the news that Mr. Davis had been elected President. Glorious news! We are free ! We have institutions of our own —a country that we can call our own —rul- ers from among our own people. There is not a Southern woman, wife, mother or maid, but what feels prouder to-day of her country, knowing as we do that we have fathers, husbands, sons and brothers, who are willing to sacrifice all to duty and honor. In peace or war you have with you the prayers {and sympathies of every woman, who glories in saying, that l AM A WO MAN OF THE SOUTH. (Applause.) Yours, Ac., Mrs. C. Ladd. I move, continued Mr. Boyce, that the design aud letter be referred to the commit tee on the Flag. The motion was agreed to. Mr. Walker, of Alabama. I hold in my hand a design for a flag which I desire to go to the same committee. No objection was made. On motion of Mr. Clayton, of Miss., the following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That the Judiciary committee be authorized to have such matter printed as they desire to lay before the Congress. Mr. Nisbet, of Georgia—l hold in my hand a letter from a private gentleman in our State interested in the subject of patents. I believe, sir, the committee should have this paper before them, and therefore I ask that it be referred to the committee on Pat ents without being read. The motion was agreed to. Mr. Toombs—l have had sent to me a model of a flag, which I move to refer to the committee on that subject. Mr. Memminger, of South Carolina—Mr. President, the committee on Commercial Affairs are prepared to make a report, but they deem it expedient to report in secret session, and if there is no other business in public session, I the Congress g > into secret session. The motion was agreed to, and according ly all hut the members of Congress and iu oftieers retired from the floor and galleries. F.levcElh Da) . Montgomery, Feb. 15, 1861. Congress met pursuant to adjournment at 12 o’clock, and being called to order hv the President, was opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Pellicer, of the Catholic Church. The Journal of yesterday was read aud adopted. On motion of Mr. Chilton, of Ala., the futtowiug resolution was adopted : Resolctd, That a committee of six. to consist of one delegate from each of the States of tlu9 Confederacy, to he designated by the delegates of said States respectively, he appointed to act in concert with the com mittees appointed by the public authorities of the State of Alabama and of this city to make arrangements for the reception and inauguration of the President elect of the Confederate States of America. Subsequently the following committee was announced on the call of the States : For Alabama —Mr. Chilton* For Florida —Mr. Anderson. For Georgia —Mr. Kenan. For Louisiana —Mr. de Clouet. For Mississippi —Mr. Barry. For South Carolina —Mr. Rhett. Mr. Brook, of Mississippi, moved that leave of absence be granted to his colleague, Mr. Campbell, who was compelled to re turn home, which motion was agreed to. Mr. Stephens, of Geo., presented a model for a flag aud also for a seal, which he had received from u a citizen of Chatham county, Geo.” On his motion they were referred to the committee on that subject. The President laid before Congress a com munication in reference to the sale of cer tain vessels to the Provisional Government, which was referred to the committee on Naval affairs without being read. Mr. Menuninger of South Carolina —I ask leave to offer the following resolution : Resolved, That each of the standing committees is authorized to cause to be printed any matter which it may deem re quisite for the use of the Congress. Mr. Chilton —I move that the resolution be amended so as to allow the committee to appoint clerks. Mr. Memminger—l would suggest to the gentleman that it would be better to offer a separate resolution to accomplish that ob ject. Mr. Chilton—l withdraw the amendment. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. Shorter, from the committee on En grossment, reported as correctly engrossed a resolution in relation to the appropriation of 8500,000 by the State of Alabama, and a resolution to authorize the Judiciary com mittee to have such matter printed as they may desire to lay before Congress. Mr. Fearue, of Ala., presented the letter of Mr. John B. Reid in relation to projec tiles, Ac., which was referred to the com mittee on Military Affairs. Mr. Fearne then remarked that a delegate from Texas had arrived, and presented a copy of the proceedings of the Texas State Convention appointing delegates to the Pro visional Congress. The President—The gentleman from Al abama presents the proceedings of the Con vention of Texas, containing the Ordinance of Secession, as well as the resolutions ap pointing delegates to this body ? Mr. Withers, of 8. C.—l hope so, sir.— I understand that the ordinance is to he re ferred to the people. I should like to know that, and 1 should like to know whether or not the State is out of the Union. The President —The ordinance is here and can bo read for the information of Congress. [The Texas ordinance of secession was then read by the clerk. It is to be submit ted to a vote of the people on the 2od day of February, inst.] Mr. Toombs —Mr. President— Mr. Fearne—l presume it would be more appropriate to refer this paper to the com mittee of Credentials, if there is such a committee. Mr. Toombs (interrupting)—A select committee. There is none ou the subject at present. Mr. Fearne (resuming) —The appoint ment of delegates seems not to be complete, but we might show our respect to the dele gate present by admitting him to a scat on the floor of Congress without allowing him to vote.

Mr. Miles. —As the Chairman of the committee on Flags, I take the liberty of stating that a large number of models are daily submitted to us, and as they have not always been formally presented to us, it was necessary to say to those patriotic eitizeus who have been so industriously employed in making models and designs, that the com mittee does not neglect their offering, though no public notice of them may be taken by this body. It would be consuming a vast deal of time to notice every one that may be banded in.

Mr, Shorter—Mr. President, it has been suggested that it would be proper for the members of the Congress to sign the Con stitution this morning before we proceed to the inauguration of the President elect.

After the inauguration the Presi dent and Vice President were reeonducted to the Hall, and Congress resumed its busi ness. The President—The Constitution lias been enrolled and signed by all the mem bers except the Vice President and the Com mittee of Arrangements for the inaugura tion. It is understood that at this time the opportunity is given them to sign that in strument. The Vice President, lion. Alexander H. Stephens, and the committee of Arrange ments, then came forwnrd and signed the Constitution. Mr. Shorter—Mr. President, I move that the inaugural address of the President of the Confederate States of America, delivered to-day be spread upon the journal of this body, and that five thousand copies of it be printed for the use of the members of Congress. On motion of Mr. Chilton, Congress ad journed till 12 o’clock to-morrow. THE INAUGURATION. The great event of the century —the in auguration of the President of the Confed erate otates of America—took place at one o’clock to-day, and was accompanied with the solemn formalities and impos ng pagen try befitting the occasion. At an early hour this morning the streets of the city were filled with military and citizens of the sur rounding country, and long before the hour appointed foi* the forming of the p ocessinn, the balconies and windows and the pave ments in the street leading from the Ex change Hotel to the Capitol was thronged with people, a large proportion of whom were ladies. A little after 12 o’clock t!:e procession was formed on Commerce street, in front of the Exchange Hotel, and pre- I eeeded to the Capital in the following or der : 1. Music by the Montgomery Brass Band. 2. Military escort, consisting of the hand somely uniformed and well-drilled corps, the j Columbus Guards, Captain P. J. Semmes; the Eufaula Rifles, Capt. Alpheus Baker; the Independent Rifles, Capt. Parris ; and the Montgomery Fusiliers, Capt. Busier. 3. The President elect with Vice Presi dent Stephens and chaplain in a phaeton drawn by six white horses. 4 Committee of Congress. sth. Committee on the part of the State | of Alabama. 6. Committee on the part of the city of j Montgomery. 7. Commissioners of other States to this : government. 8. Governors of the several Confederate States. 10. Ministers of the Gospel. (All the above were in carriages.) 11. Citizens in carriages and on foot. The procession was directed by Gen. H. ; P. Watson, Marshal of the day, assisted by several mounted aids. The grounds in front of the Capitol were densely crowded with citizens, who from that point had a fine view of the impos i * u g pageant as the procession with its bril liant uniforms, martial music, waving ban ners and imposing array, approached.— Arriving at the Capitol gate, the military escort filed to the right and left, and the procession descended from their carriages and proceeded to the platform, which had been erected and furnished for their recep tion on the portico. Here the President and Vice President were met by the Pres ident of the Congress, Howell Cobb, all three of whom occupied seats on the plat form. A spontaneous cheer burst from the multitude. Mr. Cobb announced that thu throne of grace would be addressed by Rev. Dr. Manley. During the prayer the im mense throng stood uncoveeed in profound silence. As the President arose he was again, greeted with three hearty cheers, after which he proceed to read in a firm, clear voice, his inaugural address. During the reading of the address the ab sorbing attention of the eager listeners was frequently interrupted by involuntary mur murs of applause, and at its close three enthusiastic cheers were given for the Presi dent and Vice President of the Confederate States of America. After which the crowd dispersed with words of congratulation on every lip and joy beaming from every coun tenance. After the ceremonies of the inauguration, which were witnessed by from eight to ten thousand people, the President and Vice President were conducted to the Hall of Congress and took seats with the President of that body, which shortly after adjourned. I must not forget to mention a pleasant little incident, illustrative of the lively pathy of the ladies of Montgomery in the cause of Southern independence. As the President and Vice President reached the platform on the Portico they were present ed, the former with a beautiful wreath of flowers and the latter with a tasteful bouquet presents from Mrs. J. F. Jackson, a lady of this city, which were gracefully accepted. After all, the most natural beauty in tho world is honesty ami moral truth. For all beauty is truth. True features make the beauty of a face; and true proportions the beauty of architecture; as true measures that of harmony and music In poetry, which is all faole, truth still is the perfee lion. — Shaftsbvry.
