Gen. Braxton Bragg, whose death is
announced in the kilograms this MORN
ing, was a native Of North Carolina,
where he was born in 1915. He grad
uated from West Point in 1887 and was
appointed Second Lieutenant in the
Third Artillery. He served with dis.
tinction under General Taylor in the
Mexican War, and in 1855 was offered
a commission in a new regiment, the
First Cavalry, which he declined, and
retired to private life in 1856. At the
commencement of the civil war he be-
came q Brigadier-G General in the Con-
federate Army, being stationed at PEN
sacola to act against Fort Pickens. lie
was not generally successful while in
this command. In 1862, having been
appointed a General of Division, with
orders to act under General Albert Sid
ney Johnston, commanding the Army
of the Mississippi, he took IN important
part in the two days battle of Shiloh.
On the death of General Johnston Cen
eral Bragg was appointed to the COM
mand of the entire force, with the full
rank of General, in which
position he conducted n sue
cessful campaign against General
Buell., whom, it is considered, he out
generated. He subsequently operated
in Tennessee, and fought the battles of
Stone River and Murfreesboro. His
chief exploit was at Chickamauga, in
September, 1868, when he inflicted a
defeat on the army of General Rose
cranz, though afterwards he was de-
feated ~ General Grant. This led to
his temporary removal from command
in January, 1864, and he was appointed
Chief Of staff to President Davis. In
November, 1864, he assumed command
of the Department of North Carolina,
but having been defeated at Fort Fisher,
Washington and Kingston, was super
seeded by General Joe Johnston, with
whom he surrendered to General Sher-
man in April, 1865. Since the war Gen
eral Bragg has not been conspicuous,
but has, we believe, resided at Mobile.
Although his later career in the army
was not successful, he was held in
esteem by the Southern people in gen.
eral, and many Confederate veterans
will have u kindly word for him.

AT . council Of Ministers held at Bel
grade, on the goth, over which Prince
Milan presided, Il was unanimously
agreed to reject the conditions Of peace
recently elaborated by the Powers and
the Porto. The council also resolved
that Servia should not submit except In
the event Of foreign occupation, and to
fight a roxfrance until the independ-
moe of Servia and Bosnia IL secured.
The correspondent Of the London Times,
in a telegram from Belgrade Of same
date, says: "There Is much reason to
fear that Prince Milan and his Ministers
are no longer their own masters in the
question Of peace or war. II war Is
continued, and every thing points in
that direction, It will be a Russian war
In Servia until IL becomes something
more. II is believed the only chance
Of peace lies in Turkeys prompt 40
ceptanee Of all the conditions Of the
Powers. Hundreds Of Russians are ar
irving daily. The situation Is most
alarming for the peace Of Europe"
