CONFEDERATE STATES SEAL.

One OF the most interesting as we'll as
valuable historical relics ever seen in
Wheeling w. Va, is now at the resi-
dence OF Col Robert White, major-gen
eral comm anding the West Virginia
Division, Uuited Confederate Veterans.
This so1vener is the original of the
great seal OF the Confederate States of
America the property of Mrs. Pendel.
ton, OF Shepherdstown, vice-president
of the Daughters of the Confedracy of
West Virginis, who is the guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. White. Col. Alexander
r. Boteler, father of Mre. Pendelton
was member OF Congress from Vlr.
ginis before the war, and was also a
leading and influential member OF the
Congress of the Confederate States. He
was appointed membe and chairman
of the committee appointed to design
great seal for the Confederate govern
ment.
Colonel Boteler was one day walking to
ward the monument to Washington which
stood in front Of the Capitol at Richmond,
and a thought took possession of him that he
had there the central idea for the great seal.
committee, and in due time design was
drafted and sent to London, to a then cole
br ted artist and engravtr named Wyatt
who reproduced the design in silver, and in
due time it was returned to Richmond, where
it was greatly admired and promptly spprov-
cd by tho Confederate Congress. From the
original silver design. now at Colonel Whites
bronze or copper dies were made for actual
use while the original design il silver was
presented by Congress to Colonel Boteler i'll
recognition of his services and the spprecis
ton of them by the authorities Of the Con
tederate government.
at Colonel Boteler's death the seal became
the property Of his daughter, Mrs. Pendleton,
and on going to Wheeling for this visit she
carried ii with her, that Colonel White and
others might see it and admire it. Tho sea-
is of solid silver, about three and one-hslt
inches in diameter, aud is exquisitely en-.
graved in high relief.
