DEATH OF MAI. GEN. GAINES

The telegraph angounced, some days
ago, the death Of this veteran soldier
and accomplished gentleman, but we
entertained hope tina. i, might be er-
roneous. The N. o. Picayune of the
9th, confirms the melancholy in,elli-
gence, by announcing that his death
took place at the ST. Charles Hotel, al
3 o'clock Of that morning. An attack
of Cholera carried him off, after twenty
four hours illness. The Picayune says:
Gen. Gaines retained his consciousness
during short illness, until the moment OF the
collapse. Yesterday morning, recognizing
one OF his young military friends who stood
much affected at his bedside, he remarked to
him in measured accents: "Wsll my young
friend, my time is approaching. suppose
must go. have nothing on my conscience
and am not afraid 10 die. am en- old man,
und probably have lived long enough"
This highly characteristic address was de.
lvered with the Utmost calmness, showing
The perfect peace Of mind OF the brave and
good old soldier.
When the moment OF dissolution arrived,
life passed away without struggle. lie
died as be had lived, calm and collected. viii
serenity that nothing-not even the terrors
Of the mortal psng-could discompose.
The deceased vas born in Virginia on the
20th Of March, in the year l777, was sp.
pointed Ensign Of Infantry from Tennessee.
10Th June, 1899; Major General by Lrevet
18th Of August. 1914; and a, the time OF his
death was commandcr.n-chie OF The South.
ern Division Of the Army.
The mortal remains OF tue gallant old
hero have already been dressed in the full
uniform Of his rank, with his battle sword
buckled to his side Thus he lies, as he
ever wished TO lie. with the panoply OF
soldier on! Thus he will be buried, as hc
ever wished 10 be buried! Edmand Pen.
dIeton Gaines was as brave soldier as ever
trod on battle ground.
