JOHN ?. GORDON DEAD. Coniiuandcr-lnCliIef of United Con ft it ?ralo Veterans Died Saturday Night. Miami, Florida, January 0, l?>04. General John B. Gordon died at his winter homo at Biscayne, at lO.O? o'clock tonight, after hoing unconscious nearly all day. Tho bogiuniug of tho end occurred thia afternoon, serious complication setting in, and by night hit; physician had abandoned all hope, as his kidneys refused to secrete and aramio poison was very decided. Hin death was quiet. Ho fell peacefully to sleep and all was over. Gen. Gordon became ill Wednesday afternoon with acute indigestion. Ho hud fluttered from tho Hame trouble in Mississippi 'many months ago. At ll o'clock Thursday morning a consulta tion of physicians was held and it was found that ho was seriously and criti cally ill. His son, Major Hugh Gordon, who reaides at Biscayne, waa with him. A telegram wan neut to his daughter, Mrs. Burton ?Smith, of At lanta, calling her to his bedside. She was with him wheo ho died. General Gordon grew steadily worse until to day, wheu ho was unconscious most of tho time. Gen. and Mrs. Gordon had been iu Florida this winter only three weekB before his denth. His health bad been unusually good prior to his fatal attack. Ho had bought a winter home at Biscayne three years ago, and had sinco been spending a portiou of his winters there. Gen. Gordon's body will bo shipped to his homo at Kirkwood, near Atlanta, Ga., tomorrow night, leaving nero at 8 o'clock. They will reach Atlanta Monday afternoon. Gen. Jthn Brown Gordon was born in UPEA m County, Goorgia, February 0,1882. He was educated at the Uni versity of Georgia, studied law and was admitted to the Bur, but had prac ticed only a short time when ho enter ed the Confederate Army. He raised a Regiment of Cavalry for the Confed erate service, but as that branch of the military force was not then required be organised a body of Infantry, otter ed it to the Governor of hin State, and went ip lo the field with his troops, who received tho nickname of "Rac coon Houghs," ali the men having been raised on the Raccoon Mountain. In 1862 Gordon, aa Colonel, led his men into tho famous battle of the Sev en Pines, during which two-thirds of his command were either killed or wounded. When Gen. Rodes was wounded he relinquished his Brigade to Gordon. The battles before Rich-, mond and at Malvern Hill 1'ollowod; and tho gallautry of Gordon's Brigade wns conspicuous in encb. During Lee's march into Maryland Gordon was tho first to cross tho Po tomac and for his coolncse, bravery and Hkill was highly complimented by GOUB. Rodes and Hill, ile also achieved great distinction at Sharps barg, where his Regiment occupied tho salieut in tho Confederate line. He was wounded tlvo times during tho engagement, and but for tho heroic attention of his wife would have died. In speaking of this battle Gen. Hill called Gordon the Chevalier Bayard of tho army, a character given the la mented Kearney on the Federal side. Upon recovering Gordon was made a Brigadier General and invested with the command of the Georgia Brigade. A month later he was in command at Marye's Hill, in front of Fredericks burg, where be captured tho heights by a brilliant charge. - In 1804 he won his richest laurels on tbo Btormy lines of the Ra pidan. The Confederate troops had been obliged to retreat after a long engagement. Gordon saw the condition of affairs and, suddenly turning his men, he charged upon the Federal troops, broke their line and captured an en tire Regiment. Immediately after entering York, Pa., he met a largo body of excited women and made them us gallant n speech as was ever spoken by a con queror, concluding with tho assurance: "I pledge you that not ono private dwelling will be burned or robbed. So well do I know these men, I cuu safely promise tho head of any one of them who in nul ts a lady." In 1807 Gen. Gordon wns tho Demo cratic candidate for Governor of Geor gia. His party claimed his election by A largo majority, bot his opponent, Rufus B. Bullock, was declared elect ed. He was a member of tho National Democratic Convention of 1608 from Georgia, and a delegate at large to tbo Convention of 1872. He waa elected to the United States Senate in that year, and took his oeat in March following, succeeding Joshua Hill, Republican. His noble, untiring and successful efforts in behalf of South Carolina daring the great campaign of 1870 and the momentous mouths that followed can never be forgotten , here. Io that tremendous crisiB, quitting hie home and laying aside all other duties. Gen. Gordon came to Columbia, and remain ed there, working with Hampton and our leaders until the Palmetto State was redeemed. He was re-elected United States Senator in 1870, but resigned his seat in 1880. In 1880 he was elected Gov ernor of Georgia. Since his retirement from political activity he has devoted much of his time in lecturing, presenting to the North, as well as the South, his lecture upon "The Last Days of the Confeder acy." Since the organization of thc United Confederate Veterans oe bas held the position of its Commander-in-Chief and his frequent re-e'tectiooB to that position have testified to his warmth of affection in which he has been held in the Routh. Only a few months ago his most en tertaining and instructive book of re miniscences of the War for Southern Independence was published. It has received very favorable notices from critics ia ali sections of the Union. Gen. Gordon was a speaker of great eloquence and was physically and men tally distingue. Of splendid physique, intellectual forehead and a strikingly handsome face, only slightly marred by a scar upon one cheek, caused by a wound received io battle, he wonld have been selected from among a thousand of his fellows as head and shoulden a tall er than all the rest.-News & Courier, - Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the moat massive characters aro Sc amid with sea; 8.
