D«ntli ol Gen. Wrltflit. Gen- Auibroae H- Wright, who has been gaits sick for some time past, died in Augusta, Ga., about 10 o’clock, Satunlay lost. Commenting upon the and event the Conatitu tionlist says; This event has produced a deeply saddening ef feet upon this ootnmmiity. Throughout Georgia and among all the bravo soldier,, who followe 1 his gallant lead, and served under the Confederate Plaji w*th him, on many of the most hotly contest ed fields of the war, the annonncauioat of Gen. Wright's death will las received with sorrowful emotions. Early eulisted in the war as a private iu the Confederate Light Guards, Gun, " right wo* soon elected Colouel of his regiment, tho .Id Georgia, and by his gallantry, military talents, end fidelity toduty, wna first promoted I)rigadier General, then Major General in tho nervine, lie served on many sanguinary fields, and was severe ly wounded in one of the bloodiest battles of the war. Disabled by his wounds, Ocn. Wright re turned home, and was olocted to the State Senato, and President of the Senate, serving one term in that high office At the close of the war, he be came a resident of Augusta, whero ho resumed and continued in the active practice of his profes sion, until bis last illness. Os distinguished legal abilities, sod flue oratorical powers, lie maintained a high rank at tho bar, and achieved marked suc cess os a lawyer. Hiipcraddod to his professional labors, he filled, with much talent, tact aul gooj judgment, the reaponsible position of Editor in-t 'hief of the Au gusta Chronicle it Sentinel, one of the foremost dailies of the South. He had but roof ally com pleted an ardu ms and trumphaul canvass as Democratic candidate for Congra a, in the Eighth Congressional District, during which ho la id incea<antly, and made brilliant and effective speeches iu every county la the District. Ilis election in October by a very derisive majority was a splendid tribute to liis abilities, and proof of public confidence iu bis fitness for the posi tion. Gen. Wright was a native of Jefferson county, Ga., where ha commenced his professional career and became early distinyttisho 1 by bis oratory, hm legal acumen, and close attention to professional business. He moved to ilichraond county about fourteen years ago, and has been during that period one of onr most active and influential citi zens. .Tmltrss Gil)' onV T.etior.
