Genera! Johnston at first thought that this
general statement would cover all that he
cared to say at present. While he seemed
entirely com jewed ^t was evident thal the
republicatiou of these charges had at least
stirred up some unpleasant recollections,
stud when it was suggested to him that nl
though tbe charges were published, as he
slid, in lStk*. and answerea by him in l.sTJ,
the fact that they were again published by
Jcilerson Davis himself might make it well
for General Johnston to make a more ex

■iook of 1872. lie assented to that view.

In the legislature of Georgia in 1825 there
were nine young men, all for the first time.
Not one of these was more than twenty-
five years of age. They were Joseph H.
Lumpkin. H. O. Lamar, David Brailsford.
Nathan Gcetcbins, R »be-'t August! * Beall,
Charles Dougherty, R-bert W. Porter,

coincided in that view. General Beaure

made the statement that I yielded to Gen

what he must have known to be false.

To him who knew these young
the outset of life.it i3 most interesting to
look back through the vista of fifty five
years of time and recall them and their
destiny. A!1 of them, save tuat noble
specimen of a man, John 1*. K’ng, are in
tn»-ir graved; have completed tbe:r thsti
nies and made their history, and are at
rest. AU were to some extent successful;
ail were useful in their lives; all were
honorable, and some were • inineut.
It is of one of these I propose to wri te—
Joseph Henry Lumpkin—saus peur et, sans
reproache, aud tne one whose career ami
use!uiue.-s was quite equal with that of any
man of his day.
The Lumpkin family was a distinguished
one in the early history of Georgia, and
especially the immediate family of John
Lumpkin, the father oi Judge Joseph H.
Lumpkin. His was a large family, consist
ing of ar.umberof sons and daughters, all
of whom were remarkable for energy and
intellect. Two of the brothers of Judge
Lumpkin were distinguished min-
isUrsof the gospel—one, Wilson Lumpkin,
filled every important office almost in tbe
state, at onetime or another of his life,
from the chief executive of the stale, mum
ber of congress aud the legislature ot the
state, and in consideration of his eminent
services the state has given his name to one
of her couuties
Judge Joseph H. Lumpkin was next to tne
youngtst son of his father’s family. He
was born in the county of Oalethorpe, on
the 22J day of December, 1799, and there
reared. Iu very early boyhood lie gave
evidence of extramfiinary aiMrin and
great amiability of character, unY was cor
tainly an exception to the accepted opinion,
that all great men come out of bad boys
His father was a man of means, aud appie
t iating the mind a.id character of his ton,
determined to give him a tinisLed educa
tion, aud comtne.iced it in his earliest boy
hood. He received the rudiments of his
education at tbe academy in Lexington,
the county site of his native comity, then
he was transferred to Franklin college,
Athens, at an early age. He remained at
t his institution until the death of l*re&i lent
Findley, when he went to Princeton, New
Jersev, where lie entered the junior class
Here he met from his own state Waiter T
Colquitt, Alfred Iverson, James Rembert
i»:id George W. C swford. and from other
Mates the late Chief Justice Green, of New
Jersey; the late Senator Bayard, ol Dela
ware, and the late Alexander Barrow, ol
Louisiana, who died in the United S'ates
*«._-nitte iu 184G, and that remarkable genius
J Stewart, of Charleston, long the very able
editor of the Chareston Courier, lu this
competition after only eighteen months
residence, he won the second honor, the
first being taken by Stewart.
Stewart was a man o! rare genius, but
like too many other men of genius, his
habits were net what they shouid have
been. He vat too fund of the j uices of the
graj»e, but even in his most intricate mo
ments his wits never were clouded.
Amongst the many anecdotes told of him
»s one peculiarly characteristic. Ho had a
negro servant woman who waa stout and
clumsy. Returning home late one night,
a-j he was ascendii g the stairway to his
chamber. Charity, the tat negra-s, chtreed
to be descending. She tripped aud in her
tumble catried Stewart ;o the il^jr beneath
and fell upon him. Promptly he exclaimed,
“Charity, thou coverest a multitude oi
sius.” He was a most brilliant wrtG-r and
tiisde the Courier one of the best ard most
readable papers in the south. He tl-sbed
as a meteor, was as bright and dazzling, and
almost as soon extinguished. He d:ed
early, but not before he nad established an
enviable reputation for great mental
ability.
When Lumpkin returned after gradua
tion he at once eat<redthe office of Thomas
W. Cobb, who was then residing in Lexing
ton and was a member of congress, and
afier a year’s steady w&a-imitted to the bar
in 1820 Lexington was then the residence
of Stephen Upson and George R. Gilmer
Tne:e three—Cobb, Upson and Gilmer—
were deemed the ablest lawyers of that part
of the state; atd in the sameTcircuit wvre
Dune iu G. Campbell, John A. Heard, Gtr-
net Andrews, A. 8. Clayton and Edward
Payne, equally able. It was to compete
pervade the whole community of ins
denco. With such a model it would have
been remarkable had not Lumpkin profited
by it. It is within my knowledge that Mr.
Upson felt the most sincere solicitude in
the success of Lumpkin, and never icst an
opportunity to aid Ima in his profession,
or to recommend him to public favor.
Almost immediately after he opened an
office he went into a* remunerative prac
tice. This increased to such an extent
that he felt himself secure iu ability t(»
support a family, and consummated a mar
riage with Miss Calendar Grieves, and fu.-
filled an engagement which had existed
from their earliest youth Already he had
an enviable reputation for integrity and
abilities throughout the state. In three
S ears from the day ha was admitted to the
ar he was in full practice, and admit
ted to be the first and most
eloquent advoca’e at the bar in the state.
In the memorable legislature of 1822 Mr.
Upson represented the county of Qgie
thorpe, and was the leading spirit of thal
session. He was succeeded in the sessions
of 18*24-25. but Judge Lumpkin, who at
once went to the front as a leading mem
ber, aud by all was admitted to be the best
spvaktr iu the house. This was high praise
for Duncan G. Campbell. Thomas Glascock,
William Law aud Robert Augustus Beall
were mem ners of the house, and his com
peer*. Beall was of the same ege of Lump
kin, and tf Lumpkin iiad an equal upou the
floor it was Beall. They were the young
giants of the state, and public opinion was
divided a* to which was the greatest man.
Beall was equally fervid in his manner,
aud a mure cogent reosoner than Lumpkin,
but lacked the magic of voice and manner
which was so melodious and captivating iu
Lumpkin. Lumpkin was tender and per
suasive; B^all, aggressive and command
ing. He wts courte»U3, but it was that dis
tant courtesy which seemed to emanate
from an exalted and c»mts'uuding dignity,
but was devoid of that sweetness of manner
and persuasive dignity of Lumpkin. Beall
was caustic and severe towards an adver
sary, Lumpkin, tender and gentle; but noi
the less merciless towards his argument,
was fair, but indignant aud respectful—
altogether his eloquence was particularly
the eloqueuce oi the heart, and went to tue
heart. It was fervid but not abrupt
ant! Hashing. IDall was emotional and

urging and wildly bounding, a< the inter

men ha/e ever lived more

JuJge Lumpkin. It were useless here to
numerate his virtues They are engrafted
upon the minds of every one. It is enough
to sny that he was born and lived
11 his life in the state, aad i-j buried
within :i few miles of his birthplace; that
veil his state in her chiefest office the
part of his life, and from his birth to
eath the taint of scandal never
breathed upon his name. Th°re was never
one to say in rebuke, why did you this?
He was a man in every manly attribute
of manhood; he was a Christian in all the
purity of Christianity, and a patriot unde-
filed by the euspiciou of insincerity. He
*t* made an enemy, a.id yet he was, both

sincere, and yet never offensive.

But he dared this, aud determined to exst

and reared. This competition waa most
formidable, aud might have well deterred
a more aggressive nature than that of
Lumpkin; yet he had telf-reliar.ee. energy
anti perseverance, and did not shrink from
this competition, but opened au office a:

Gilmer were Comparatively out oi his \ay.
C-ibb removed to Greeneaboro, out of his

.S ephen Upson was a native ot the town
Waterbury, Connecticut. IDs father was it
button maker, and established in that town
the first button factory ever established in
tbe United States; but Stephen had an am
bition above buttons, and with tua: stern
yankee determination wbica defies ad vex
excited his imagination. In all things tiiese
two great minds were unlike. Tompkins’s
temperament was warm, his feeling deep
and sympathetic, his mind lucid, and his
heart full of love and tenderness, his tem
per was even and forbearing, with an
abstract wit of gender How, which hurt
friend and made no foe. There was no better
balanced mind, no purer soul, no warmer
heart. He was not fitted by nature for the
turmoil of poll ics. nor the ascerbities of a
mangling, disputatious assembly. His feel
ings were too refined for this mub aud his
nature too sincere for i:s contact.
At the conclusion of the session ql the
legislature of 1825 he retired from politi
arid gave his time entirely to his protessioo.
With all his softuets of character, he v.*a
full of energy and capable of the closestap
plication; w.th ail his devotion to bis pro
tension, be found time to cultivate ti.e
belles-lettres, and was deeply read in both

His close attention and intense study of
the law, together with the fatigm
country practice, had impaired his health,
aud to relax these and rest and recuperate,
in 1844 he went wiiu uis wife to Europe.
For years there had been a struggle in tht
►tale to establish a high court of appeals.
The people were wedded to the system of
judicature which obtained iu the suite and
were distrustful of change. The e mstitu

Both parties were dis rusttul the one of tht

Judge Lumpkin was iu Europe, aud in
honor was conferred upon him without h
kucwltdge or consent. I*, was bv the unan
imous vote of the legislature. In thisoilic^
he continued until his death. In the first
organiza ion of tue court the judges were
appointed one for six years, one for four and
one for two. Lumpkin was given the long
term. The judges were elective, and
through all the long period of Judge Lump
kin’s servica at every election he was chosen
without opposition, and in consideration of
his worth ami abili tits the legislature
rhringed the original law, which made
all the jnigss equal in title,
arid constituted him chief justice.
He had removed utt.*r his appointment to
tue bench, from Lexington to A'hei s. aud
was appointed pTofi ss >r of law in the uni
versity. Subsequently he was appointed
judge of the court of claims of the United
otates, which he decliueJ. In 1849 he was
tendered by the Boston cumvittee the
place as the American representative of the
congress of natioi s. which assembled in
Paris. France, uud in 1800 was elected chan
cellor of tiie university, but declined.
War w«s impending, the entire country
was in wild commotion, die courts very
existence was iu peril, u:.d the necessity of
a firm adherence to principle was to him
apparent, uud his ev-ry uetvc was s-.rained
to inculcate this m tit. minds of the peo

This was a trying period upon tiie mi ml

House, Niagara Falls, June 14.
—A neat looking, medium-sized, well-
dressed young woman arrived here by tho
New Yoik Central railroud yesterday morn
ing, and registered at the hotel as Mrs.
Brown, of New Y’ork. She ate nre-ak-
fast, and strolled to tevcral points of inter
est. About 2 o’clock in the afieri'-a.ii sho
was noticed by Edward Furlong, a carriage
driver, and' \V. B. Perry, :t com
mercial traveler, on Lur.a island in the act
of throwing herparasol into tho water, just
at the brink of the American fails. It took
only an instant for l he sunshade to be swept
over the cataract. Apparently satisfied
with the action of the current, she stooped
ti’.derthe protecting railing, put something
she held in her hand in the bosom of her
dre-s, ami began gathering her garments
; round her preparatory to lsepi •.» into the
cataract. Meanwhile the persons above
mectioned were making all possible haste
towards li-r. Just a*, the op|»ortune mo*
men;, as s':e was throwing herself forward,
Mr. Perry a ached the s-po:, caught her by
ih:- arm. and drag «d lier back. She gave
