Mother: Lucy Epes ATKINSON |
He was graduated at Hampden Sidney college, valedictorian, in
1845, and at the University of Virginia in 1848. He was married
Nov. 8, 1848, to Sara Agnes, daughter of the Rev. Samuel Blair
and Lucinda (Leftwich) Rice of Charlotte county, Va.
He was admitted to the bar in 1849 and settled in practice in
Charlottesville; subsequently edited the South Side Democrat,
Petersburg; was attached to the staff of the Washington Union;
edited the Enquirer at Richmond, Va., 1854; and The South in
Richmond, in which he advocated states rights, and the
publication of which was discontinued on his withdrawal from the
editorship. He afterward served on the staff of the Washington
States. While junior editor of the Washington Union he wrote a
notable article on the Anglo-Russian war which was extensively
copied and translated abroad. He was a special envoy to Greece
in 1855, succeeding in adjusting the difficulties between the
United States and that country after others had failed; and a
Democratic representative from the fourth Virginia district in
the 36th congress, 1859-61, having been elected to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of William O. Goode. He was
re-elected in 1860 to the 37th congress, but owing to the
secession of Virginia, did not take his seat.
He was attached to Beauregard's staff at the time of the firing
on Fort Sumter, Charleston harbor, April 12, 1861; and was
appointed to fire the first gun but declined to do so, giving as
a reason that Virginia, his state, had not yet seceded. He also
refused, on the same ground, to enter the captured fort. He was
a delegate from Virginia in the provisional Confederate
congress, where he so vigorously opposed the proposed measure
offered by William L. Yancey to reopen the slave trade as to
defeat the bill.
He was a representative in the 1st Confederate States congress
that met in Richmond, Va., Feb. 22, 1862, serving as a member of
the military committee. He entered the Confederate army as
colonel; was promoted brigadier-general, April 16, 1862;
commanded the 5th brigade in Longstreet's division at Yorktown
and Williamsburg, April-May, 1862; in Anderson's division,
Longstreet's right wing at Seven Pines, May 31-June 1, and in
the seven days' battles before Richmond, June 25-July 1; in
Wilcox's division in the second battle of Manassas, Aug.
16-Sept. 2; and in Anderson's division in the Maryland campaign,
including Harper's Ferry, Sept. 12-15, and Antietam
(Sharpsburg), Sept. 17, 1862, succeeding to the command of the
division when Gen. R. H. Anderson was wounded. He resigned his
commission owing to a misunderstanding with President Davis;
re-entered the service as a private in Con. Fitzhugh Lee's
cavalry; was taken prisoner at Petersburg in November, 1864, and
confined at Fort Lafayette and was released at the close of the
war.
He accepted a position on the New York Daily News conducted by
Benjamin Wood; studied law; was admitted to the New York bar in
1866, and practised in New York city, 1866-90. He was a delegate
to the Democratic national convention of 1876, and was appointed
judge of the court of common pleas of New York by Coy. D. B.
Hill in 1890, being afterward elected to the full term of
fourteen years. In 1894 he was transferred to the bench of the
supreme court and held the office until retired by the age limit
in January, 1899, when he resumed the practice of law. His
decision in the case of the Sugar Trust was the first blow
received by trusts in the United States at the hands of the
courts, and his presentation of the law left an appeal
impossible. He received the degree LL.D. from Hampden Sidney
college; was a member of the board of visitors of the University
of Virginia, and is the author of many speeches and literary
addresses.
