BRIG. GEN. F. K. zoLLICoFFER.

The subject of this sketh, Brig.
Gen. Felix Kirk ZollicOffer, was a ma
tive of Tennessee, and was borh in
Maury county, May 10Th, 1912. His
ancestors came to America from
Switzerland, and figured prominently
in the war of the Revolution.
Jacob Zellicotfer, the father of the
subject Of this sketch, came from
North Carolina to Maury county,
where he settled on farm and en-
gagged in agriculture, devoting por-
ton of his time meanwhile to liter
airy pursuits. Here he established
his home and reared his family. The
paternal grandfather, George Zolli-
Golfer, was Captain in the North
Carolina line during the Revolution
airy war. A member of the family,
named John Conrad Zollicoffer, was
at the time an officer in the French
army. Being furnished with letter
from Silas Dean, he resigned his COM
mission in the French army ond ac-
copied a commission from the Gov
ernor of North Carolina. In this ca
pacity he served in the Revolutionary
war until he was taken prisoner, and
was afterward released on parole.
The ancestry of Gen. Zollicoffer was
ennobled by a decree Of Emperor Ro-
dolphus, bearing date of October 49,,
1923. This old baronial family still
preserve a faithful record of their
lineage in this country. They keep
81 up a constant correspondence with
the American branch of the family,
and every marriage, birth and death
in the male branch of the family is
promptly forwarded and recorded in
the genealogical table in Switzerland.
The Oldest living male member of
the family in America is by courtesy
called "the Baron" and receives IA
regular annuity from Switzerland.
Gen. Zollicoffer received a good edu-
cation in his boyhood and engaged in
the printing business at Columbia,
Tenn. AT the age of seventeen he
formed partnership in a paper at
Paris, Tenn, with w. w. Gates and
Amos r. Johnson, but nOtwithstand.
ing the energy of the parties the firm
became involved and quit in debt
Upon the failure of this enterprise
Gen. Zollicoffer, Thoughts mere youth
obtained employment at Knoxville
Tenn, under the celebrated editor
Heiskel, and subsequently entered
an Office at Huntsville, Ala, where
by constant application to his work
and the exercise of the strictest econ
0my, he succeeded in paying off the
whole debt at Paris, where his frs
enterprise had terminated so discour
agingly. He had by this time be
come prominent as journalist anC
enc of the champions of the Whis
party. He had paid off the debt a
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1885-03-07

Paris, and his partners subsequently
repaid him their proportion of the
same, and in 1855, the Wings Of
Henry county discovered that the
old printing press upon which the
firm had made its first venture in
journalism was still in existence.
From the material of this printing
press they made a solid gold-headed
walking cane and presented it to Gen.
Zollicoffer asa testimonial. Engaging
in the newspaper business at Hunts
vile meanwhile, he returned to CO.
lumbia and took charge of the OBJ
server. In 1885 he was married to
Miss Louisa Gordon, and in 1886
served as commissioned officer in the
Seminole war. In 1871 he was called
to Nashville, where he accepted po-
sition on the editorial staff of the
Banner, at that time the leading or
gan of the Wing party. In 1S49 he
was chosen to represent Davidson
county in the State Senate. In 1858
he received the Wing nomination
for Congress in the Nashville district
and was elected to this position for
three terms. During the six years
that he served in Congress he posses
sed strong and powerful influence
i'll that body. He was universally es-
teemed high minded and honorable
gentleman of great ability, Asarep-
resentative of the South he was con-
sentative, and in the House of Rep
resentatives he held a high position
in the esteem of its members for the
excellence of his judgment, the in
tegrity of his character, and the firm
ness with which he adhered to his
convictions. He was a modest, gen.
tie, dignified man, without preten-
ton or bravado, and was universally
respected by his opponents.
Gen. Zollicoffer retired from public
life in 1857, but soon after was APP
pointed by the Legislature to the
Peace Conference. He accepted the
appointment, but at the conclusion of
the conference he came home dis
couraged and disheartened.
Upon the secession of Tennessee
Gov. Harris rendered to him a COM
mission as Major-General, which was
declined for the reasons assigned that
she would not consent to risk by his
ineXperience the safety and reputa-
ton of his fellow-citizens from the
Volunteer State" He was soon after
appointed Brigadier General, and the
commission was also given by the
President Of the Confederate States
This appointment was accepted by
him, and he was assigned to duty al
the Camp of instruction at Camp
Trousdale, in Sumner county, where
he drilled the State troops and for
. Warded them to the scene of hostili
ties until he was assigned to duty il
East Tennessee during the summer
of 1861.

A MAsCorTE FOR THE SEA.
The Trial Trip of the Plant Investment
COmpany's New Steamer.

The trial trip of the new iron steamship
Mascotte, built by Cramp & Sons, Of Phil
adelphia, for the Plant Investment Com
pany to run on the recently organized fast
mail and passenger route TO Cuba, was
made on Wednesday down the Delaware
river as far as Bombay Hook, and was a
complete success. The Philadelphia Re
cord giving an account of the trip says:
"a large party of New York capitalists
arrived in Philadelphia early in the morn
ing on special train TO witness the test
OF speed guaranteed by the builders, which
was to be sixteen miles per hour. Among
those on board were Hon. II. B. Plant,
PRESIDENT of the savannah. Florida and
Western Railroad Company; Henry San
ford, General Superintendent of the Adj
ans Express Company; Col. A. j.
O'Brien. of the Southern Express Com
pang; w. B. DnsmOre, Jr., Frederick

cut; w. Is. Thompson, William Cramp,
Henry Jarrett, Capt T. Harper, Capt
Dodge, Chief Engineers Lorlng and Potts,
u. 5. NJ, and Hon. c. Gardner, OF the Nor
witch Steamboat Company.
The vessel proved thoroughly competent
to do the work required Of her, and the
"Trip was IN all respects very successful
one. She developed speed even greater
than was pledged for her on both the
downward and upward runs. The new
vessel is 200 feet long and 80 feet beam.
She is supplied with triple expansion
engines and cylinders, 10, 80 and 80 inches
in diameter, with 80 inch stroke, the first
of the kind ever built in the United States
for steamship. She has accommodation
for 70 irst-class passengers, with saloons
finished in mahogany and bird's-eye
maple, and all the latest improvements in
marine engineering. The Mascotte will
be commanded by Capt. Fleming, formerly
of the steamship Pennsylvania. By the
new line passengers will be landed in
Havana in three days after leaving New
York, by connection at Tampa, Fla, with
the Plant system of Southern railroads.
The steamer was piloted by LUIS Schellin-
ger, an old and experienced Delaware
river pilot.

The German Engineer.

Bob Burdette, the humOrist, makes the
following remarks about German engine
drivers
"They are making a great fuss about
an engineer on araIlrOad in Germany who
has run on the road forty-nine years and
never had an accident. We don't see
anything wonderful about it. The en-
gineer on German railroad, we believe,
always walk ahead of his train and Shoes
everything Off the track while his wife
shoves the train along after him. Still,
we can see how an accident might hap
pen. The engineer might grow weary
and climb on the train and go to sleep
and so get into the station ahead of time
and run the risk of catching a severe
cold while waiting for the Esteamage-
