HENRI Z GRAY.

Gen. Henry Gray, of the c. S. A.
died a few days ago, at the home of
his daughter, in Coushatta, on Red
River.
The deceased was in his earlier
years a remarkable man, born in South
Carolina, at manhood he removed %
Mississippi, and was the contemporary
and close friend of jefferson Davis
and Sergeant 5. Prentiss. He occu-
pied, during his residence in that
State, a prominent position as an Or
ator, politician and lawyer.
Later on he removed to Bienville
Parish in Louisiana, and very quickly
established himself at the head of the
bar, and on the political arena in
North Louisiana, that was, at that
date, noted for its lawyers and ora
tors. In the contest for United States
Senator, he was beaten by the great
Judah P. Benjamin by only one vote.
At the beginning of the war he join
ed the Confederate forces, as a pivate
in a Mississippi regiment, out on
reaching Virginia he was ordered by
his friend. President Davis to return
to Louisiana and organise a regiment
of Infantry.
He did so and became Colonel of the
28th Louisiana Infantry, which did eff
fective service in the Trans Mississip-
pi Department, in 1862 it was attach
ed to and formed part Of Mouton-
Brigade, with the 18th Louisiana Rel
ment composed of companies raised
in Lafourche, New Orleans and tn e
Opelousas countries. On the death Of
Gen. Mouton at Mansfield, previously
promoted to the command of his own
and Polignac's Brigade, Col. Gray was
promoted to Brigader Genera and
given the command Of his Brigade.
Gen. Gray was not famcus foc his
expertness as a commander Of troops.
but was brave and fearless as a lion,
and distinguished himself for holiness

and fea~rlessness.in the tloHiy charge
OF his Brigade a. Mansfield in which
the commanders of each of his regl-
ments were killed, Armant of the 1Sh;
Beard, Clack and Garfield of the Cres-
cent !; and Walker of the 2Sth.
After the war the General has been
living a very quiet life. The loss of
an only son, who died in 1864, and
that of his wife subsequently, weighed
eavy on the old mans mind, and re-
moved from him all the charms of
life.
The General vas small in stature,
and not proposing in appearance,
and when mounted on his famous big
horse, Cesar, the "boys" used to call
him, "Baby on a monument" Short
ly after the battle of Mansfield, the
writer asked him "if he cid not think
that the Yankees would get him dur
ing the fight" the reply was that she
was afraid that they might get Cesar"
He was ayerse to everything i'll the
way of display and always grumbled
when lie was required to make his APP
pearance III full uniform.
He was social, kind, careful of his
soldiers, attentive to their wants, and,
possessed Of q keen black eye that
would dance when he got his anger
aroused. In 1864 he was elected a
member of the Confederate Congress,
and left the army when his command
encamped at Camden Arkansas.
The General was rs years Of age at
his death.
He is buried in the Valley of the
Red River which he loved so dearly
and where he will rest until the resur-
rectlon do come.
Louisiana has produced many great
men, but few have possessed more of
the elements of greatness than Henry
Gray. 1t required one to know him
closely and intimately as did the wri-
ter. to understand and appreciate the
noble qualities, and generous attri-
butes of the man, and to learn the va
ried talents and wonderful knowledge
that was treasured in his mind.
