The New Senator from Mississippi. Charlottesville, Nov. 27, 1863.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In your paper of to day you publish from the Atlanta Register a complimentary notice of Hon. J. W. C. Watson, the new Senator elect from Mississippi. Mr. Watson is a native of Albemarle county, Va., and a graduate of the University.
For a short time after graduating (1830 '31) the practiced law in Charlottesville, and then removed to Abingdon, where he successfully practiced his profession for several years, and then went to Mississippi.
He is an upright, pure, noble-hearted, honest son of the Old Dominion; conscientious, charitable, and eminently a Christian man, having been a zealous and consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, and an ardent friend of Sunday Schools from his younger days, certainly since 1828, when the writer of this first became acquainted with him. In former polities he belonged to the Whig school.
He is a brother of Egbert.
R. Walson, Esq., who
