Al the outbreak Of the war in 1861, he
deserted his own section and cast in his
lot with their enemies. lie seems to have
won rank and reputation in the Federal
service, and was one of the six Brigadiers
appointed in the regular army, on the
peace establishment. lie was given com :
mand Of the Department Of the Caroliaas,
and carried out ruthlessly all the cruel
measures of remorseless Congress. The
war sgainst his own land and people
seemed to have destroyed all his ncbler
qualities, and to have transformed him
into the usual type Of the renegade. A
citizen of Charlotte was present in Rich
