one mile east Of the campus. II stands on
the site Of the birthplace Of Prince Ed
ward S most famous Confederate soldier.
The area, known as Longwood Estate,
is part of a 20000-acre tract of land
granted by the Crown to Peter Johnston
in 1865.
His son. Peter Johnston, Jr., was the
father of a most distinguished Civil War
figure, General Joseph Eggleston John
ston He was born at Longwood on Febru-
airy g. l847 in house destroyed by fire
in 1911.
The son Of Hampden-Sydney edu-
Gated man, General Johnston prepared
himself for the military by graduating
from the United States Military Academy
in 1929 He was in the class with Robert
Edward Lee with whom working ties be-
came cemented in the Civil War.
General Johnston's inclinations toward
a military career may have been
prompted by the pattern set by his father.
The younger Peter Johnston at very
young age joined the Continental Army in
1870 and was lieutenant before the war
ended He went into law, and rose rapidly
in the profession. serving as a member
of the House of Delegates from Prince
Edward from 1792-l8l1.
The eighth of nine sons born to Peter
Johnston, Jr., and Mary Wood Johnston,
General Joseph Eggleston Johnston fought
in the Mexican War and climbed up the
ranks until 1860, he had risen to the rank
of brigadier general in the United States
Army He was quartermaster general.
Four days after his resignation from
the army on April %, 1861, he was made
a major general of Virginia forces.
He was commissioned brigadier gen
eral In the Confederate, States Army in
May, and on August 80 was commissioned
general one of eight men to hold that
rank in the Confederate Army.
General Johnston was in command in
the peninsula and was retreating to the
Richmond area. After he was wounded at
the Battle of Seven Pines in June, 1862,
he was unable to continue. General Rob-
ert E Lee, at that time military advisor
to jefferson Davis, succeeded him in
command.
In November, 1862 after General John
ston had recovered, he was placed in
command Of armies in Tennessee and
Mississippi.
In December. 1863 he was assigned to
the Army Of Tennessee and given the task
Of reorganizing it and then taking the Of
fensve
The general accomplished the first part
of his task, but he retreated instead Of
going forward He was relieved of com
mand in July 1864, short time before
his army reached Atlanta.
After the capture of Atlanta by the
Federal Army and Shermans march to
the sea. General Johnston was again
placed in command of this army while it
was retreating through the Carolinas in
February. 1865. He surrendered his army
to Sherman on April %, 1865 at the Ben
ton Place just outside of Durham. N. C.
General Johnston. after his outstand-
ing effort in behalf of the Confederacy,
lived in Georgia. Later he returned to
Virginia to live in Richmond. There, he
was elected to the House of Representa-
tves in 1873 as a Democrat. He did not
seek reelection.
In 1887, President Grover Cleveland
appointed him commissioner Of railroads,
and he held that post until his death

there has been no indication of
any significant increase in draft

there has been talk of calling

The Negro in Washington
Chapter VII-Colored Homeowners Voice Resentment
At Churqe They Litter Their Neiqhborhoods

There is nothing unusual about her
home, or the predominantly Negro section
in which she lives. There are many like it
in Washington.
If this is so, then why is it often said
that neighborhood begins to deteriorate
after Negroes move into it?
The principal reason for this belief is
that the Negro sections most people know
are in the heart of the city.
There, the old brick row houses crowded
with shabbily dressed Negroes and the
trash in the yards and streets are common
sights to anyone who knows Washington.
It's simple enough to conclude that
this is true picture of the way the Negro
lives. AS far as it goes, it is true. This
picture, though, does not begin to portray
all of the Negro sections in the Nations
Capital.
