He was brother Of Robert Pegram.
commander of the Nashville, who has
rendered his name, forever infamous.
Though bornin Virginia, he had resided
for 4 number Of wears in Kentucky, and
was never scdnced from his LOYALTY by
the poor sophisms that led his brother
into treason From The first he was 4
staunch loyalist, raising a regiment OF
cavalry. which was in the engagement
at Pi,tsburg Landing, and has now Of
fered up his life in defence Of the
country against which his brother has
lifted mp a traitors hand. There is GER
tainly no feature of the present war so
tragic as when brother is thus found
arravcd against brother: but it should
teach foreign critics, who magnify the
unanimity Of the sentiment at the South,
how baseless is the claim that the re-
bellion against the Union is founded on
any deep or universal conviction.
