The Confed crate Seal.

Mr.. o. W. Buchanan, of Winnsboro,
brought to the Ners snd Courier Office YES.
tsrdaJ two Of the seals of the Confederate
States of America. The seals are the proper-
ty Of Dr.. w. Z. Aiken, Of Winnsborn, and
came into his possession q number Of years
ago together with several othor effects Of the
Confederate Government, among which are
four volumes of Kent's commentaries and an
old Bible.
The seals are both made of brass and arc
circular in shape. The largest is ab,ut AN
inch and . hnlf in diameter and about q quar-
tor of an inch thick. Around the outer edge
are the words confederate States of Ameri-
ca,'' and in the centre the words ''Depart-
ment of State" DR.. Aiken believes this Ia
be the great seal of the Confederate Govern
ment.
The other seal contains the following in
seription on its outer edge: "Provisional
Government, Confederate States of Aneri.
ca" On scroll in the centre of it's face are
the words, constitutional LIBERTY" The
impression of this seal..is said t0 be stamped
on the passports that were issued by the Con-
federate Government.
The manner in which the seals and property
OF the Confederaey came into the possession
Of Dr. Aiken Is said to be about as follows
While President Davis and the members OF
his Cabinet who accompanied him into South
CAROLYN were stopping at Abbeville, one Of
the members Of their escort, the name OF
whom 10 unknown, however, went to Wiuns-
boro' with the articles mentioned above and
stored them in . house belonging to DIR. Al
ken. There they were found By DR.. Aiken
and have been in his possession ever siuce.-
