DEATH OF GENERAL WALKER

The ann cuncement of the death
October %, at his residence in Wythe-
vile, Va. of Gen. James A. Walker,
will be received with sincere regret by
a - large circle of friends and adj
m chs, including the Confederate
suryiv ors who served with him in the
Army of Northern Virginia. Entering
the Confederate Army as captain in
the famous Stonewall Brigade, General
Walker emerged from the great con-
fict in command CT a division Of
infantry, 1T is safe 10 say that no
officer that splendid army excelled
i'm in courage, efficiency and iaithfui-
ness. Indeed, the history of the Army
Of Northern Virginia is the history Of
General Walkers military service, for
he participated with credit in nearly
every great battle in which that army
en- aged. He had the entire confidence
of his superior officers, including
Generals Lee and jackson, and he was
frequently called to lead IN desperate
assaults or defenses. General Wake:
was a Virginian Of whom peofl lie Of
that State lad cause to be proud. H
was not OILY a distinguished soldser,
but had served in the Legislature and
Congress with credit In recent years
General Walker had drifted from the
great body of the white people on
political questions, but this did not
serve to lessen their appreciation OF
the service he had done the STATE. his
judgment may have been at fault, but
General Walker was honest in his con.
yictions, and these followed with the
same courage and tenacltythat marked
his career as one of the most gallant
soldiers OF the Army of Northern vir-
ginia.-Baltimore Sun.
