His subsequent career is familiar to every one: his appointment as a Brigadier General in the Confederate army--his active campaign in Western Virginia--his brave defence of Fort Donelson--his suspension from command by the President for the circumstances of the surrender of that Fort — his appointment by the Legislature of Virginia to be Major General of State forces raised to protect the Southwestern Virginia frontier and the salt works — the transferring of that force last spring to the Confederate Government and the retirement of General Floyd to Washington county with his health much impaired by exposure in camp.

Major General John B. Floyd. --The painful news of the death of this distinguished officer and statesman was announced in this paper yesterday. He died at 6 A. M., on Wednesday, the 26th inst., the anniversary of the battle of Cross Lanes, in Nicholas county, the first of his Western Virginia campaign, in which the enemy was completely routed. He was born in Montgomery county, (in that part which is now Pulaski county,) in 1803, and was therefore in his 58th year. He graduated at Columbia College, South Carolina, in 1826, and was admitted to the bar in 1828. After a short residence at Helena, Ark., he returned to Virginia and settled in Abingdon, Washington county, where he died.

These events had their effect upon the mind and character of General Floyd, and the better prepared him for the iSouth Carolina; but never to allow a Southern State to be by force of arms reduced to submission to Federal authority. These events had their effect upon the mind and character of General Floyd, and the better prepared him for the important part he played in the great drama how being enacted in this country. We may well lament that it was not allotted to him to continue an actor in the great struggle of the South to its conclusion; for in his death we lose one of our ablest, most far seeing and faithful public men.
