We have received from our friend R. C. Hite, a pack of the “latest style” envelopes. They contain a beautiful colored engraving of the Confederate flag, with nine stars in a circle, and one in the center, crossed with the letter T, to represent Tennessee.
Mr. Hite has also on hand ribbon badges with a similar device on them—inscribed with the following mottoes—”FOR OUR RIGHTS WE FIGHT!” and “DEATH TO THE INVADER!”
