In * /iew of the prominence of Gen. GaMj ington in the Brownsville affair, and BIMG. (JE'N. 10. A. GARLINGTON. V some other recent affairs, and in view of the fact that he is a native of South Carolina, this sketch will be interesting to the readers of The State. The sketch was written by J. R. ' McKissick, and is as follows: "Ernest Albert Garlington, lately created a brigadier general of the United States army, was born in Newberry, S. C., on the 20th of February, 1853. 11 is father, Albert Cross well !? Garlington, graduated from Franklin college with the first honors of his ? class in 1842. A few years later, his uncle, Robert Garlington, graduated from the South Carolina college with the first honors of his class. Albert CreDswell Gaa)iington's grandfather, Cluiistopher Garlington, married Ann Conway, who was the daughted of Col. Edwin Conway and Elizabeth Ball, the daughter of Col. Joseph Ball, of Eppimr Forest, Va., and a half sister of Mary Ball, the mother of that great Virginian, George Washington. The earliest record of the Garlington family appears in the land books of Virginia pertaining to Northunvherlaiul county in 1(V)4. "On his mother's side, Ernest A. Garlington is descended from John Satterwhite of Ninety-Six district, South Carolina, a member of the provincial concress for that state. And so it will be seen that Gen. Garlimrton does credit to a distinguished ancestry and that he has a proud right to call himself in every sense an American. "Young Garlington entered the primary department of Newberry college in 1800; attended in a desultory fasli\ ' j?t.n sev(>,'i*l private schools from '01 |.0r<fl '(> ">, when his preparation for rj^ge was seriously begun by Capt. ^ T'ifer. former aide-de-camp on \?

After assistimr in the location of the line of that road, he rejoined his class at the V- University of Georgia. r' "It was al the University of GeorjM gia tlvat Garlington joined the fralerjjuf nilv which i< proud of his splendid Hi record.

On' , the afternoon of the 7th of duly re- j port of the terrible disaster to thefC Seventh cavalry was received in At-'?Xr 'anta. Lieut.
