Hon. Augustus H. Garland has been elected to the Confederate Senate from the State of Arkansas to supply the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. Charles B. Mitchell, lately deceased.

Mr. Garland received a most complimentary vote, being thirty-eight votes against fifteen for all others.

In the spring of 1861, Mr. Garland was a member of the State convention which passed the ordinance of secession. He was then sent to the Provisional, and afterwards to the Permanent Congress, to which he was elected for the second term.
