The LATE GENERAL MAsoN.-A few days since
we copied from the Washington Union a brief par
agraph announcing the death of one of the most
worthy officers of the United States army, Brevet
General Richard b. Mason, colonel of the LIST regi.
ment OF dragons, who died at his head quarters at
Jefferson Barracks during the night of the 25th OF
July. His illness, learn brief, but his
health has not been good since his return from his
duties in California lie suddenly seized with
the cholera, and, although possessing strong CON
stitution, fell victim to its attack. He leaves
a wife and two daughters TO mourn his loss
The ST. Louis Republican of the 9th ultimo, from
which we gather these facts, publishes official
order from Assistant Adjutant General Buell. of the
9th military department., ST. Louis announcing the
fact, and then adding the following brief notice of
his past public career:
General Mason was a native OF Stafford county,
Virginia, and descended from family eminent for
their services III the of the revoluion In 1917
he was appointed from civil life 10 a caphincy in
the old Sth regiment of infantry. In 1921, on the
breaking up OF that regiment, he was transferred
to the LIST. In 1924 and ., he was with the forces
that ascended the Missouri TO the mouth of the Vel
low Stone. In fact, his whole service was epent on
the northern and western frontiers Upon his re-
turn from the above expedition, he engaged in
the erection of Jefferson Barracks. On the organi-
cation OF the dragons he was appointed MAJOR of
the let regiment, and ultimately rose TO the com.
mand oft lie served through the Black Hawk
toned at Fort Gibson. For two years previous to
the Mexican war he stationed in the cast on
the recruiting service. When that war broke out
he joined General Kearny in California, where he
was made military commander and civil governor.
lie relieved from his command in l549, and
enjoyed but short respite from duty, with his fam
lily, before death has claimed him as his victim"
