In October, 1891. when it was rumored
that Gen. Walthall would retire from the
Senate distinguished Mississippian then
high in the official circle of the United
States paid the following tribute TO him:
Mississippi ought not to tolerate for
moment the idea of acquiescing in the
retirement of Senator Wathall. Of all
the splendid men that have ever been pre-
sented to the nation, Gen. WaIthall is
the one beyond all comparison in moral
purity. strength Of mind, heroism of soul

TO the enthusiasm of friendship. But no:
my friendship is only the effect, not the

private letter my sober opinion that all

Phil Sheridan, attacked the Confederate
center and right on this ridge, broke
through the Confederate lines and would
have captured or killed the defeated army
of Hood had not Walthalls brigade inter
posed and checked the pursuit until night
brought relief. This strategic movement
rescued a great army for future work in
1864, when Hood reoccupied Tennessee
and fought the terrible fight of Franklin
After the defeat there Gen. Walthall
played almost a similar part to that at
Mission Ridge, for, forming, the rear
guard of that army, he protected it
against the attacks of the victorS until
a secure position was reached. These are
not the only instances of the brilliant and
valuable services rendered by him in the
field
In 1868 he was delegate at large to the
National Democratic Convention. In jan
uary. 1871, he established himself in Gran
ada as a member of the bar and won
high hOnoTs in the profession in the en-
suing sixteen years. In 1876 he was chosen
delegate at large to the National Demo-
cratic Convention again in 1880, and again
in 1884.
