Death Of General Thomas.

Maj. Gen. George Henry Thomas, whose
death occurred in San Francisco on Monday
last, was born in Southampton county, Vir
ginia, July 81, 1876. He graduated at West
Point in 1910, and was commissioned bre-
vet second lieutenant in the Third artillery.
He Joined his regiment in Florida, and for
his services there was breveted FIRST lieuten
ant in ls4l. He served at Fort Brown
during its bombardment by the Mexicans,
won the brevet of captain at Monterey and
major at Buena Vista, and in le49 was
again ordered to Florida to campaign
against Billy Bowlegs. He was instructor
of artillery and cavalery tactics at the mill
tnry academy from 1851 to 1854. and in the
latter year was sent to California, where he
held command at Fort Yuma until promoted
to a majority in the Second cavalry, in 1855
From 1855 to 1860 he was on duty in Texas
at the head of his regiment, and engaged in
various Indian and exploring expeditions,
In 1861 he was ordered to Carlisle barracks,
Pennsylvania, promoted colonel of the Fifth
cavalry, and ordered to report to Gen Pat.
terson, then commanding the department of
Pennsylvania. He was assigned brigade,
and held that position until com missioned q
brigadier general of volunteers and ordered
to Kentuckey. He comm handed at the oat1'e
of Mill Spring, January 10, 1862 and com
pletely defeated the Confsderates under zen.
Zellicoffer.
His division was then ordered to Nashville,
where it arrived March LIST, and as soon as
possible marched to Pittsburg landing;
but, being III reserve, did not arrive in time
to participate in the battle of Shiloh. He
was appointed major general of volunteers
April Is, 1852, and assigned to the com
msnd Of the right wing OF the army of the
Tennessee, under General Halleek. He
was made brigsdier general in the regular
army October 81, 1868, and greatly distn.
guished himself at the battle of Chattsnoo-
ga the ssms year. His defense of Nashville
and subsequent campaign sgains. Hood are
among the most brilliant achievements in
the annals of the war, and stamped him rs
one of the ablest soldiers of the age. He
was made q major general June q, 1865,
and for come time was in command of the
department of the Mississippi, with head
quarters at Nashville. He superseded Gen.
Hslleck in command of the department of
the Pacific at a comparatively recent date.
Gen. Thomas was universally respected aud
beloved by ell who knew him, and in some
respects was the most popular man in the
army. His loss will be deeply felt. not
merely in military circles, but through out
country
