him. He was three times wounded. In
the frat days engagement in the second
battle of Manassas he lost q leg. Space
nor time does not permit US to speak
more fully of the military career of Gen
eral EWell. Suffice it that he was re-
gsrded among the very best fighters In
the Confederate army. Stonewall Jack

lied upon him as q tower OF strength.
After his release from Fort Warren no
went with his estimabls lady to her
plantation near Spring Hill, in Maury
county, and began the career of sn agrt-
culturist on q very large scale. In this
he exhibited the same remRT kable enter
prise and energy that had distinguished
him as soldier. By liberal use of capital
he was demonstrating In the most prsc-
tioal way the peculiar adaptation of
Middle Tennessee to the cultivation of
grapes and grain, and to the rearing of
stock. He was devotiDg particular s;tsn.
ton to sheep and cattle. he had been
until recently the president of the Maury
County Agricultural society, and had
greatly endeared himself TO the farming
population by his devotion to their in
terest. He WIS eminsntly a public spir-
tied man. Though having no children of
his own, he was particularly jealous in
bhO Ohusu VI ~ bud b1Ulb
of his death he was president of
the Board of Trustees OF the Columbia
Female Institute, in which he took
special pride and interest. He was a
communicate of the Episcopal church at
Columbia. He was q man of decided con-
victiOns, great esrnestness and of the
most laudable ambition. He was singu-
larry unselhsh, severely plain. original,
unOstentatiOus and without guile. To the
poor he was charitable; with the eff cted
he sympathizsd; TO sll he was gentle and
kind. Indeed it was g matter of aston
ishment how so rough soldier could be so
delieate In his feelings and gentle in his
manners. No one could fully appreciate
him without knowing him, and all who
knew him honOred and loved him. Gen
ersl Ewel leaves one brother, Rev. Mr..
of Giles county, who bears the
family name of his mother. Captain Tom
EWell, one of the most promising young
men of Tennessee, q brilliant orator,

No sound can awake him to glory again.
