PERsoSA1-We had the pleasure of q
visit. on Saturday, from Major Samuel
Il. Chisman, of Virginia, who is at
present on business tour South in the
interest of prominent business firms of
New York. Major Chisman was in active
service during the entire war, and dur
ing the last year and at the close of the
struggle, was Chief Quartermaster at
Greensboro, where he had charge of one
of the largest magazines of quarter
masters stores in the Confederacy. By
his connection with the armies of Gems.
Lee, Johnston and Beauregard, his per-
sonal acquaintance with the officers and
men of those armies was very extensive,
and by his promptness and correctness
in the transaction of business, and by
his uniform kindness and accommodate
ing spirit, he made friends of all with
whom he had either official or personal
intercourse.
