GEN. E. P. ALExANDER.-The Charles
ton Ne,cs alludes to this citizen of Co.
lumbia in the following language of just
encomium. We are glad to add that the
Ne,rs is mistaken as to Gen. A. leaving
the State. He contemplates remaining
in Columbia:
GA few words in closing on Professor
Alexander, who is about to leave the
State. Edward p. Alexander was born
in Washington, Ga, in 1885, and gra-
duated at West Point in 1857. He was
promoted Second Lieutenant of the
United States Engineer Corps, and
served as assistant Instructor in engineer
ing at West Point; then as lieutenant of
q company of sappers in the Utah expe.
dition of Gen. A. S. Johnston, and in
Oregon and Washington Territories. He
next was on detail, engaged in perfect
ing and experimenting with q system of
army signals until May. 1861, when he
resigned in San Francisco, and returned
70 the South. He was commissioned
Captain of Engineers in the Confede-
Ate army, where he introduced the sys-
tenn of signals, and served as signal
officer OF the Army of the Potomac, and
afterwards as chief of ordnance of the
Army of Northern Virginia. He was
then promoted to the rank Of Colonel of
artillery, and commanded all the artil-
lery of Longstreet's corps at Gettysburg,
and in Georgia, and in the Tennessee
ChmphlBu. I1e Was promoted brlRad1er-
General Of artillery and chief of the ar
tillery of Longstreet's corps in February,
1864, holding that command to the close
of the war. He was elected Professor of
Mathematics and civil and military en-
cheering and construction in the Uni
versity of South Carolina in December,
1865, which position he has filled with
distinguished ability, giving general
satisfaction. He was much liked in the
army by his superiors, by his peers, and
by his subordinates; and the many re-
sponsible posts he occupied, and his
rapid promotion, tell how his services
were valued.
"South Carolina loses valuable man
by the resignation of Professor Alexan-
der. He has earned her esteem, and
carries with him her best wishes for his
welfare and success"
