On an accompanying page are presented views of the several Confederate flags, and an engraving of the Great Seal of the Confeder- acy. The following explanation of the flags will not be amiss :
CONFEDERATE FLAGS.
No. 1 .- The "Stars and Bars" was the first flag of the Confederate States, and is said to have been adopted by the Confederate Con- gress at Montgomery, Alabama : during the first year of the war, its use was quite general throughout Virginia.
No. 2 .- The "Battle-Flag" was designed by General Beauregard, adopted by Gen. Jo- seph E. Johnston after the first battle of Man- assas, and afterward adopted by the Confeder- ate Congress. The reason for its adoption was that in battle the "Stars and Bars" were fre- quently mistaken for the "Stars and Stripes." It remained 'as the "Battle-Flag" until the close of the war.
No. 3 .- On May 1, 1863. the Confederate Congress adopted this flag as the national flag.
No. 4 .-- On March 4. 1865. the Confeder- ate Congress adopted this design as the flag of the Confederate States, because the other when limp, was too much like a flag of truce.
We give herewith an interesting letter from Gen. Bradley T. Johnson to the Rich- mond Dispatch, on the subject of the Con- iederate flags, also a copy of the Act of Con- gress of May 1, 1863, and the amendment thereto of March 4, 1865 :---
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The Confederate flag. with the memories it arouses. is very dear to many people, and we think it but justice to perpetuate a true and accurate description of it. I can find no record of the "Stars and Bars" in the Acts of Congress. It was used by companies and regiments in Virginia in 186t, without authority, and just as a matter of taste.
After Manassas. General Beauregard had prepared at his headquarters a design for a flag. which was painted in water-colors. It was a red square, on which was displayed a blue St. Andrew's cross, bordered with white, and charged with 13 white, five-pointed stars.
This was adopted in general orders from army headquarters, and became the battle-flag of the Con- federacy, which should blaze in many a coming trial, showing its followers the way to duty and to death. Three flags were made by "the three Cary girls" out of their own silk frocks, one for Joe Johnston. Beauregard and Van Dorn each, and were always floated at the headquarters of these generals. and on the march and in the battle showed where they were.
This was Beauregard's battle-flag !
May 1. 1863, an Act of Congress was passed to establish the flag of the Confederate States, and it pro- vided that the battle-flag should be the union of the new Hag, and that the field should be white. I never saw this flag with troops. General Lee had one in front of his headquarters. The first time this flag was ever used, and I suspect the first that was ever made, was used as a pall over the bier of "Stonewall" Jackson as he lay in state in the Governor's house at Richmond, in May. 1863. But this flag looked too much like a flag of truce. and did not show at sea. so

the story went, and consequently on March 4. 1865. just 28 days before the death of the Confederacy, Congress rassed another Act, adding a broad red bar across the end of it. I never saw this flag, nor have I ever seen a man who did see it -- or who saw a man who did see it -- with this exception: Col. Louis Euker tells me that riding down to Gen. Custis Lee's quarters in Novem- her or December. 1864. he saw this flag flying over Howard's Grove Hospital, and his companion. a Ger- man gentleman, then serving in the Ninth Virginia Cavalry, asked him what that flag was, and this in- cident impressed itself on his memory.

There is no possibility of doubting the accuracy of Colonel Euker's memory. He is as nearly certain to be right as any man I know, but there is a confusion here. The flag was not adopted until March 4. 1865. and he saw it several months before. I explain this by thinking the design for the new flag was known and canvassed. I have a colored lithograph now. made by Hoyer & Ludwig. at the time. for Maj. Arthur I .. Rogers, who designed this alteration, and gave me the picture in December, 1864. So, I take it, the doctors at the hospital had made themselves a new flag to set the fashion. But that was not a flag authorized by law, and I have yet to see a man who saw such a flag or saw any man who saw a man who saw one. After March 4. 1865, we were not making flags. Please print the Acts of Congress establishing the flags. . The last act has never been printed !
