NEW VOL. l4--N0. II.
A Consin of Gen. Grant I'm the
-rI Stauutont Asylum.

Capt. g. e. Tompkins, OF Roanoke
county, Virginia, late United States
Marshal of Colorado, has been adjudg
ed lunatic, and was taken TO the asy
lum at S.aunton last week. Capt. Tomp
kins is first cousin of General Grant,
and during the war served with gallan-
try and distinction in the Confederate
army. He was attached to the staff of
Gen. A. j. jenkins until the death of
that brilliant cavalry leader, after which
sad event be resigned his commission
and entered the writer's company as y
private, and served in that position up-
I'll the close of the war. There are some
interesting facts connected with his war
record which, we believe, have never
been given to the public Several times
during the last two years OF the war he
received messages and communications
from. General Grant, beseeching him TO
leave the Confederate army and accept
service in the Federal army, offering
him a tempting commission in the event
of his acquiescepce. Capt. Tompkins
was a chivalrous, high-minded man and
was greatly offended by the insulting
propositions of his cousin, the General.
His feelings became the reverse Of kind
for Grant, and he seemed resolved TO give
him the cut direct the first opportunity
afforded 1t SO happened however,that
poor Charley had 10 put such thoughts
behind him, and not only meet but soil
cit aid from the Federal commander.
The day before the surrender at Apo
mat,ox the Captains horse was killed in
battle. The surrender found him afoot,
without money, and two hundred miles
from his home in Kanawha county.
He was frail, delicate man, and unable
to accomplish such journey on foot.
What 10 do he did not, know. The
writer advised him to call on Gen. Grant,
and ask him for assistance. This, al
though very home-sick and anxious TO
see his mother, he at first refused 10 do.
He was urged again and ugain 10 adopt
this course, and the second day after the
Surrender, he went over TO Gen. Grants
headquarters and made candid state
ment rs TO his situation. In less than
an hour he returned mounted on splen-
did charger, handsomely caparisoned,
and, in addition, had about his person
$3.50 in greenbacks and two canteens Of
real whiskey-.none of your Confederate
piue-,op-all the syf of Gen. Grant.
The money he generously offered to di
vide with his messmates, and the whis
key-vanished, much TO the comfort OF
the downhearted Confeds This was
the first OF the many acts which, after
wards, evinced Gen. Grants devotion
to his relatives. Oapt. Tompkins was
offered several lucrative Offices during
Grants occupancy Of the White House,
but declined all until just before the ex-
piaaton of the last term, when he 40
cepted the Marshalship OF Colorado. He
is a noble-hearted fellow, and the au-
nouncement Of his sad condition will
bring deep sorrow to his friends and old
comrades. Kentucky New Era.
