instead of being applauded by tho radical Jour-
nails Of the North, is seiz,d upon by them to
give color to and sustain their constant mis-.
statements about Southern oulrages, tho low

DgA1u or Hon. JAMES A. SEDpoE.-Hon,
James Alexander soddon died Yesterday morn.
ing at his residence in Goochland county, after
painful illness. From the time he was com.
paratively young man until tae close Of the
war he occupied q prominent place in the history
OF bis native State. and as Secretary of War OF
the Confederate Sts!o5 Government. he was
known throughout the South. Mr.. Seldom was
q descendant OF William Alexander, of Men-
STRIFE Scotland frat Earl Of Sterling, and from
whom came the honored Virginia family of that
name. He was born in 1915, and as q young
man distinguished himself at college, He came
TO this city at quite an carly age and began the
practice OF law. In 1857 and again in le49-5l
he was elected to Congress. defeating the Wing
candidate, John Miner Botts.
De was member OF the Peace Congress of
February 4. 1861; was elected delegate to the
Congress Of the Confederate States July 70,
1851 and made Secretary. of War of the Con-
w: Randolph. November Is, 1852 He mar.
rled in 1886 Miss Sarah Bruce, daughter of Mr.
James Bruce, OF Halifax county, who survives

more, and four sons. Thomas and William q.
OF this city; James A., o lawyer, of st. Louis,
Mo-, and Arthur Morson. of Goochland BE was
in his si1ty-ffth year. Since the war Mr.. Sod.
don was member Of the we'll known house of
Lee, Seldom Co., but the delicate state of his
health prevented him from leading anything
like an active life.
Distinguished and popular as a public man
and statesman. his homo hi. WAS such as to en-
deer him to all who met him. So it WAS that his
neghborS and those who knew him bes! rsvered
him most. Asshusband. as father, as friend as
neghbor, his death vii! be mourned and his life
will be held in atfectionate remembrance
