We were truly grati6ed to learn from the AsneViLe
IN CO. News, that the above gentleman has oeen call
ed upon by large number of the 10th IN. ~ Con-
gressoua District to represent it in the next
of the Confederate States.
We have known the Colonel ior many years, ana nao
the honor for several months of being member of his
regiment We speak knowingy-in the battles of Vir-
g,nia, whilst led by jackson, he proved himself gal
Ia Mt officer He was member of the N. G. Legisla-
ture in 1860-61, and we hope will become member of
the coming Congress. By his merits and soldier like
conduct he has passed by gradual promotion from a
private to his present position. He is certainly gen.
eman possessing extraordinary qualities, and richly
deserves the respect support and confidence of his fellow
North Caroliniaus in and out of this State.
