The director is anxious to know- if there is in existence a flag of the State of Mississippi which was adopted by the secession convention of 1861. In order that such a flag may be identified the-following description is given: White ground, the magnolia tree in the center, a blue field in the upper left hand corner with a white star in the center; the flag to be surrounded with a red border and red fringe at the extremity.

He has a large amount of correspondence and other work to dispose of, which will take up nearly all his time until Friday of next week.
