Col. Jennifer was much blamed
for the bHrning of Princeton, Mer,
Ger county, now West Va. and the
bridges leading from that town to
Dublin on the Va. & Tenn. r. r.
1t was claimed at the time that
this destruction was unnecessary,
and the sequel soproved. But he
doubtless was controlled by con-
sideration of a military character
which he deemed sufficient.
Col. Walter Hanson Jenifer, dis
tinguished citizen and soldier, died at
the residence of his sister, Mrs. VIM.

and Belvidere streets, this morning al

was in the fifty-fifth year OF his age.
He entered the United States army
during the Mexican wal and WAS with
the Third Dragons. which was one of
the ten war regiments afterwards dis
banded.
After living while in California he
was appointed to the Second cavalry.
Albert Sidney Johnston was the colo
mel and r. E. Lee the lieutenant-cOlo-
mel. The majors were Hardee and
Thomas, and among the captains were
Van Dorm. Kirby Smith. Field, Hood,
and other officers who afterwards be-
came eminent. The subject of this
sketch served with distinction in the
Indian war in the Southwest, and re-
signed to enter the Confederate SER
vice, where he had the rank of colo
mel. He was "a fine officer, and after
the war was offered q position in the
Khedive's army, which he accepted,
and Was made chief of staff of the
cavalry.

crease taxes, but does decrease
education. To the few W h o
oppose free schools, it extends
the alternative of still paying
school tax, but to be expended on
the privileged COnsOl holder. To
the great mass who favor free
school education, it very plainly
says they shall not have it except
by increased taxation.
