Alt'rough ~at the commencement of our .late war he was captain of a company, he rose rapidly to lieutenant general of the Confederat,e army. A dash ing and brilliant soldier of the Stonewall Jackson type; an able and patriotic Statesman, both* in the counsels of his native State and the Federal Union ; and above all a Christian gentleman, he leaves to his country a character worthy of immitation by all good citizens of this American Union. He recognized ait the end of the war that the old constitutional issue of the right of secession was settled by bloody revolution, by the power of the sword, and that- it was the duty of all good citizens to acquiesce in the result and assist in the building up of our common country, and his able and patriotic lectures both North aind South have contributed much towards that end. A nd as it is the pleasant but !meancol duty of the James D.' N\ance camp of Confederate Vet erans, of which organization Gen eral Gordon was an honorary mem ber, to put upon record its high appreciation of the great soldier, statesman and Christian gentleman: be it. therefore. Resoved. i. That while be bow in humble submission to the dis pensation of an all-wise providence, we recognize tit che whole coun try has sustained a great loss in the death of our distinguished Chiet, right at this time of our national historv. 2. That the James D. Nance Camp will ever hold in the the highest esteem the memory of their distinguished fellow-soldier, know ing that he won his spurs on bloody battle fields,and that he was worthy to have all the civil honors that have been conferred upon him by his countrymen since the war. 3. That every true Carolinian re members with gratitude the great services rendered by t,eneral Gor don to over Stare during the politi cal revolution of 1876, which made Wade Hamption governor of South Carolina. 4. That these resolutions be re corded in the minutes of this or I ganization as a living testimonial of.our appreciation of our distin guished chief. 5 That a copy of these resolu tions be sent by our adjutant to the family of th,. .-ceased. 6.

The State of South Carolina has taken oficial notice of the death of Gen. John B. Gordo 1. Gov. Hey ward sent a message to the genera! assembly, and the lawmaking body of South Carolina, after adopting suitable resolutions, decided to send a committee to Atlanta. Gov. Heyward's message stated: "It is with deep regret that I bring to the official notice of your honorable body, the death of Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia. In the death of this brave and gallant southerner our na(ion has sustained a loss, but for us of the south, to whom his life was given with all of patriotic devotion and truest service such loss is irreparable. "As one of the bravesti chieftains of the southern Confederacy, as one of the wise and eloquent.states men of his country-as a man with out fear and without reproach he has lived and died, leaving a record that will live forever. And to no section, to no part of his country, did this true heart and loyal friend render more faithful, gallant and patriotic service than he gave to us in the stormy days ior 1876. Then, when Wade Hamption of South Corolina and Johi B. Gordon of Georgia stood nce more togethe-r, yet once agaim, as we all know so well did victory surround these chivalrous spirits. "Not only this however, but for Gordon, the man, will we of South Carolina ever tenderly and grate fully hold his memory in loving care and keeping.

Broad St. tol and as we honored him in life even so is it both meet and appropri ate that we should pay to him, in death, our tribute of affectionate remembrance. His funeral services will be held in the city of AVlanta on Thursday, 14th. and I s-ggest that you take such official action regarding those obsequies as will be a fitting expression of the love and reverence of the people of South Carolina to him whose life proved his devotion to us." Gordon's Love For His Men. Greenville Herald. "I never kne.-: General Gordon during the war, but have had that honor ever since I have been inti mately associated with him in the U. C. V.," said General C Irvine Walker this morning to a Herald representative. "I have always had the h'ghest admitation for Gen. Gordon-his splendid characteristics and large ness of heart. He had the greatest love for all his old comrades and the most loving way of expressing it. He was willing to shake hands and receive the embraces of the thousands who always crowded a round to do him honor. "One day at the New Orleans re union when he was so sick and weak that he had to go to bed after the meeting, he was shaking hands with the boys who crowded up, and I saw it was very weakenning and that it should stop. Renonstrance was in vain, so I just had to throw my arms around him and forcibly carry him back to his seat, on which he dropped exhausted. "The warmth of his heart was shown in the peculiarly earnest and gowing words and thoughts which were crowded to find expression on his lips. He was remarkably happy in his speeches and always had some bright and new idea for every oc casion, which exactly and most happily fitted. The veterans simply adored him. "The men who followed Gordon followed the personification of the thought and sentiment of the South," continued General W~,alker. "The temper, the mettle, the dash, the loyalty, the truth, the unselfish ness and courtesy, the joyous valor of its ideals found human realiza tion in him. It was as if the visi ble Avatar of the Southern spirt rode before them through all the clamoring days from Manassas to Appomattox. And that is why it is that his death brings again some thing of that feeling that choked the throat and left the lips mute when the flag of the Confederacy was furled."* Found a Cure for Indigestion..
