DEATH OF PROMINENT ARKANsIAN.
We learn that General Yell, one of the
most distinguished citizens of Arkansas,
died at his residence, in Pine Bluff, a
few days since. General Yell was an
old resident of cur neghboring State,
and for many years was prominently
identified with her political and other
public interests. At one time he was
the candidate of his party for Governor,
and during the early portion of the late
war; was commander-in.chief of the
State troops. If we mistake not he was
several times member of the State
Legislature. General Yell was a man
of fine abilities, and ranked among the
foremost members of the Arkansas bar.
He was generally regarded as the first
criminal lawyer of the State. The i'm
mortal Colonel Yell, of Mexican war
fame, was his brother, and the gallant
Colonel Pitts Yell, who fell at Mansfield,
La. during the war, was his son. Gen.
Yell was buried with Masonic honors,
and on the day of his funeral business
was universally suspended in the town.
