Confederate Staff Officer. Assistant Adjutant General to Gen. Richard S. Ewell. Also served on the staff of Gen. Lewis B. Armistead.

Personal Gossip.

Major James W. Pegram, who died in Atlanta, Georgia, last week, belonged to the famous "fighting Pegram family." He had two brothers, both of whom were in the confederate army, and "the ten sons of the elder Pegrams" also entered the confederate service. Of the ten young Pegrams five were killed in battle and one was so severely wounded that the amputation of his leg was necessary.

Freeborn County Standard; Albert Lea, Minnesota.
