OIVIL LEADERS OF
THE CONFEDERACY
I -
\\ 7HILE public opinion throughout
wy the states which composed the
I * " Confederate States of America
is well informed in the matter
I of the military and naval leaders of
the southern forces—Lee and Jackson
and Johnston and Semmes being fa
miliar names to ail southerners—mucn
less is known übout the men who
might be called the "clril of
the Confederacy."
111 the qprth the children are taught
much about Seward, Stanton. Chase,
Wellea and the others Who upheld the
hands of President Lincoln. But in
the southern states the members of
President Davis' cabinet, the men on
whom fell the burden of providing the
ways and means for carrying on the
war while the military leadera at the
front and on the seas were fighting the
battles of tbe Confederacy, are not so
well known as perhaps they deserve
to be. Comparatively few books havo
been written about the civil side of
Confederate history. 4
In part this is due, of course, to their
failure. Had they succeeded in es
tablishing the right of tbe southern
states to set up a separate government
their names would now be familiar as
the civil leaders of the Confederacy in
happier days -than those which follow
ed the close of the war. It Is Interest
ing to note that only two of
President Jefferson Davis' cabinet re
tained throughout the war the port
folios which they assumed at or soou
after' the organization of the provi
sional government on Feb; 98, 1861.
They were Stephen B. Mallory of Flor
ida, secretary of the navy, and John
H. Reagan of Texas postmaster gen

PRESIDENT JEPPKKHON DAVIS.
eral. The latter was the last Survivor
of the Confederate cabinet. He died
In 1905 at the advanced age of eighty
seven.
When the war began Robert Toombs
of Georgia, the well known southern
leader, was secretary of state and head
of the cabinet He soon yielded bis
office to B. M. T. Hunter of Virginia,
and he, in turn, was succeeded on
March 17, 1802, by Judah P. Benjamin,
the brilliant lawyer of Louisiana, who
retained the premiership until tbe close
of the war. Benjamin had been sec
retary of war and attorney general In
the Davis cabinet. Leroy P. Walker
of Alabama was Benjamin's predeces
sor as secretary of war, having been
cbosen for that position when the pro
visional government began its career.
When Benjamin stepped from tbe war
office to the state department his place
was token by George W. Randolph,
and after Randolph yielded up the port
tr .
jvvam t. anuunx
folio it was held In turn by Guetavas
W. Smith. James A- Seddon and Jofca
C. Breckinridge.
Of all the places In the Confederate
cabinet, probably tbe moat difficult was
that of secretary of the treasury. Tbe
southsrn government was always in
need of money, and many writers have
attributed Its collapse. In the final
analysis, to shortage of funds where
with to arm, feed and clothe tbe men
It put Into the field. On Charles G.
Memmlnger of South Carolina fell the
onerous task of providing for the
finances of tha Confederacy, and be
' held tbe vexatious position until June,
1804, when he was succeeded bj4
George A. Trenbolm.
| After Benjamin's short term aa at
torney general the law department of
tbe southern government was placed
In charge of Thomas Bragg. On March
17, 1882, Thomas H. Watts became at
torney general, and In 1S0« and the
brief part of 1885 In which tbe Ooti
! fsderacy lasted George Davis of North
Carolina was attorney „ general. This

Young u the youngest who donned the
Gray,
True as the truest that wore it,
Brave at the bravest he inarched away.
(Hot tears on the ciieelu of his mother
M.
Triumphant waved our flag one day;
He fell m the front before it.
Firm as the firmist, where duty led
He hurried without a falter;
Bold as the boldest, he fought and bled,
And the day was won, but the field
was red.
And the blood of his fresh young heart
was shed
On his country's hallowed altar.
On the trampled breast of the battle plain
Where the foremost ranks had wrestled,
On his pale, pure face not a mark of pa n
(His mother areams they will meet again).
The fairest form amid all the s'in,
Like a child asleep he nestled.
In the solemn shades of ihe wood that
swept
The field where his comrades found
him — 4
They buried him there, and the big
tears crept
Into strong men's eyes that had seldom
wept.
(His mother —God pity her —sm led and
slept.
Dreaming her arms were around him).
A grave in the woods with the grata
o'ergrown,
A grave in the heart of his mother —
His clay in the one lies lifeless and lone;
There is not a name, there is not a stone.
And only the voice of the winds maketh
moan
O'er the grave where never a flower is
strewn,
But —his memory lives in the other.
