D. H. Hill (search for this): chapter 1.30
General Albert S. Johnston fell in the memorable battle of Shiloh, and Generals Robert E. Lee and Braxton Bragg died since the cessation of hostilities. There were two generals with temporary rank—E. Kirby Smith and John B. Hood. The former lives, and the latter, in dying, commended his orphans to the care of the soldiers of the Confederacy. Twenty-one officers were complimented with the grade of lieutenant-general. The only survivors are Generals James Longstreet, E. Kirby Smith, D. H. Hill, Stephen D. Lee, Wade Hampton, Jubal A. Early, Alexander P. Stewart, Joseph Wheeler, Simon B. Buckner, and John B. Gordon. O the one hundred who were commissioned as major-generals in Confederate service, if my information be correct, only forty-five are now numbered among the living. Of four hundred and eighty who rose to the grade of brigadier-general, an inquiry, by no means partial, inclines me to the belief that there are not two hundred in life. With the exception of Thomas

and was in every way a man of commanding influence. In 1847 he became a Senator of the United States, and continued to be a prominent member of that august body until, in 1861; Virginia severed her connection with the Union. When the State of Virginia passed her Ordinance of Secession and sanctioned a resolution adopting the constitution of the Provisional Government of the Confederate States of America, a delegation, consisting of Mr. Hunter, and the Honorable William C. Rives, John W. Brockenbrough, and W. R. Staples, was elected to represent that State in the Provisional Congress at Montgomery. Upon the adjournment of that Congress to meet at Richmond, the designated capital of the infant Republic, Mr. Hunter was again chosen as a delegate from the Old Dominion. It will be remembered that Mr. Toombs resigned the portfolio of the State Department and accepted service in the field with the rank of Brigadier-General. In this emergency President Davis summoned Mr. Hunter to

Trenholm, has, for years, been sleeping that sleep which knows no waking. Of the five Secretaries of War, Leroy Pope Walker, Judah P. Benjamin, George W. Randolph, James A. Seddon, and John C.

It will be remembered that Mr. Toombs resigned the portfolio of the State Department and accepted service in the field with the rank of Brigadier-General. In this emergency President Davis summoned Mr. Hunter to his Cabinet. He accepted the appointment of Secretary of State, and Beauvoir enjoys a serene old age beneath the grateful shadows of Southern live-oaks and magnolias; but the vice-president of the Confederacy four years ago terminated his active and useful career. Of those who held the portfolio of State, Robert Toombs, R. M. T. Hunter, and Judah P. Benjamin, all are dead. Of the four attorney-generals, only two, ex-Governor Thomas H.

The conspicuous part borne by him when, at the instance of Mr. Davis, and in association with Vice-President Stephens and Judge Campbell, he participated in the Fortress Monroe Conference, is fresh in our recollection. Subsequent to the conclusion of the war Mr. Hunter was for some time the treasurer of his native State.
