Colonel John Marshall.

We were much shocked to hear Of
the death of our friend Colonel john
Marshal, who was killed in the battle
near Richmond ON the 3Oth ult.
Col. Marshall is widely known in
Texas and elsewhere as the editor Of
the State Gazette. He came to this
State some ten years ago. having
previously been connected with the
jackson Mississippian. He at once
took the position here OF political
leader and has ever since held It.
He was man Of marked ability
and most thorough devotion to prin-
ciple. AS a politician he was bold
and ardent, and at the same time
most thoroughly grounded on State
Rights Democracy. On the break
ing out of the war he sought posi-
ton in the army and was appointed
first, we believe, major OF the fourth
Texas, and was afterwards promoted
Lieut.. Col. and finally Colonel, Of tho
same regiment. II. distinguished
himself on every field i'll which no
was engaged, and finally lost his life
in the front Of the battle.
Col. Marshall had many warm
friends, and as many thorough enc
mics as any man in the State. While
he courted neither enmity nor friend
ship, he never swerved from his path
for the one nor failed in his duties
to the other.
| Upon the altar OF his country's
liberties has he fallen. To her was
he chiefly devoted while living. and
now she will remember him now
that he has fallen in her defence.
