A gentleman from Georgia gives US the

had at any per sod for ten years past; that

He could discover no fiinching among the
people In regard to a vigorous prosecution of
the war; on the contrary, they are more de-
termined than ever to fight on until the in

was not uncommon to see ladies and gentle
men of wealth and respectability dressed in
goods OF home manufacture, and every
household, spinning wheel. reel and loom

ssn,asnt aud no ags hsa syes tssa stla 10
6ossi statesmen Of greater intellect o. u
loftier character than Cpshur and Calhoun,
The South at lssst viii never cease to do hom.
aye to these illustrious men, and to their true
and generous chief for the service which they
rendered her in bringing into the Union and
thereby into her present Confeiesacy, despite
Of British diplomacy aud Northern fanaticism,
the splendid domain and the sterling people
Of Texas. However affecting it may have
been to any schemes of party, thrice forth
nate at least was il for the good cause of the
South, that Johh Tyler held the Federal
reins of power in the eventful fifteen months
preceding the ith of March, 1850; at which
date, having finished good work, he retired
again to private life.
We come down to the crisis which has sun
the perils and horrors of war. Had there
been any return from that bourne which is
entered through the portals Of the grave,
what "A host of the great Southern dead would
have rushed back to take part for their coun-
try in the bloody drama now transporting, and
which many of them so wildly foresaw :
There was one man belonging to by-gone
generation who had not yet passed the inexors-
BILE portals, and whom these solemn events
startled from his retirement. Though past
the allotted three score years and ten, Mr..
Tyler again appeared upon the stage of public
affairs in February last as a member of the
Virginia Convention. His course in that
body and in the Peace Congress convened at
Washington in the same month"; is familiar to
the people of the South. 1t was marked by
the same fidelity to the creed of State Rights
aud State sovereignty which had signalized
his previous career, and by that briliancy Of
intellect which great occasions seemed always
to evoke from him.
His celebrated speech i'll answer to, and in
exposure and humiliation of, George w.
Summers, was probably one of the ablest of
his life, as it was one of the most powerful
OF the many which the present times have
called forth His election to Congress last
November in the district embracing the Capt.
tai of the Confederacy, over competitors OF
conceded talents and popularity, attested the
nigh appreciation i'll which the people held
| his last services TO his country.
He died last Saturday morning, at his rooms
III the Ballard House. He had oeen suddenly
| stricken down by disease on the Sunday
morning before, while sitting at the public
breakfast table, surrounded by his char ming
and atieetiouale family. He had reached the
! age OF seventy-one years, ten months and
nineteen days, having been born on the 10Th
| March, 100. He fell with harness on, at the
| post OF duty, III the midst Of arduous service
full OF honors and full of years. But for his
| extreme age, he was endow ed with precisely
| the qualities OF heart, of head and OF princl-
| pie which must have secured for their pos
| SCISSOR the supreme honors OF the new Con
federacy.

The Rank of General.

A correspondent, writing from Elizabeth
City, N. g., asks "what is the highest rank
in the Confederate army-whether simply
General or Major General?'
The highest rank in the regular army ia
that of "9eneraI." The act Of Congress
provides for five Generals, who have, we
believe, been appointed, to take rank in the
order in which they are named, viz Gems.
Cooper, Albert Sidney Johnston, Lee,
Joseph E. Johnston, and Beauregard. There
can, therefore, be no further appoiE tments
except through an amendment OF the law
by Congress.
