April, 1868, the Senate, in which action upon the subject originated, amended a resolution of the House of Representatives, and decided that the device for the seal should be as follows: A device representing an equestrian statue of Washington (after the statue which surmounts his monument in the Capitol square at Richmond), surrounded with a wreath composed of the principal agricultural products of the Confederacy, and having around its margin the words, Confederate States of America, 22D Feb., 1862, with the following motto: Deo Vindice, --God, the protector, defender, deliverer, or ruler. This was adopted by both Houses, and then it was proposed to send some one through the lines to New York, to procure an engraving of the same on brass and steel. This was objected to, and the commission was finally given to an engraver in England. The writer was informed by Mr. Davis, of Wilmington, N. C., the Confederate Attorney-General, that the engraving was not completed in time for use.
