The Ranchero [Corpus Christi, TX], December 1, 1860
The Charleston Mercury publishes the following suggestion for the flag of the “Southern Confederacy:”
The ground entirely blue, with a golden palmetto in the center; a golden rattlesnake twining around the stem of the palmetto, with its rattle sprung, head erect, and tongue protruded. In the back-ground, to the rear of the tree and snake, a golden spread eagle, and a single golden star in the upper right corner, with the words, “Room for More,” on the opposite.
