Johnston Pettigrew, like his present
BILE endowments, of fine tastes, large

sufficiently exoursive to grasp the col

subject. He was one of the hope of the
growing generation of the South. He
had already distinguished himself in
legislation. He had shown himself a
compact, graceful, unaffected writer; he
had travelled, studied as he went, and
was not of the class who go from Dan to
Beersheba, and see nothing. A few
more years would have matured in him,
the statesman, the lawyer, and doubtless
the man of letters. Eager for employ
and action, he was never satisfied except
when doing, and in doing he always
strove to do we'll. Briefly, he was a
brave, jealous, working man; highly
gifted; and earnest in all the iabors with
which intellect or hand desired to Crap
pie. He does not seem any ways vain of
hGcing done. He was always desiring to
do. And this, only, is your true man

as her fortunes are, and sad as must have
