DEATH OF GEN. w. H. CARROLL, C. s. A.
We observe, by the following extract from
the Montreal correspondence of the st.
Louis Guardian, the death of Brigadier
General Carroll, of the late Confederate
States Army:
Among the many Southerners who have
visited Canada within the past few years,
none was more respected or deserving of
consideration than he. He was a son of
Governor Carroll, well known in the South
and throughout his State as an ardent sup
porter of Gen. jackson, in the fierce politi-
cal battles of that indomitable old hero. He
himself was postmaster of Memphis for
some time. In 1860, he was a staunch
Douglas man, opposed to secession and IA
vorable to the neutrality of Tennessee but
when his native State was invaded by the
Federal troops, he took up arms, and rose
rapidly to, the rank of brigadier. When
stationed at Knoxville, he once had the no.
torious Brownlew prisoner, but he treated
him well, and ultimately released him.
During his quiet residence in Canada.
Gen. Carroll superintendent the education Of
his daughters, at the Sacre ur-Sault-au-
Rccollet, and he himself devoted his leisure
to the contemplation of Christian truths
After a stormy life, when he had tasted the
bitter roots of disappointment he found n
refuge and an unruffied haven in the bosom
of the Catholic Churclf.-His funeral was
attended by host of friends and air tbe
Southerners in the city,
