Major Wayne is a son of Justice bi ty: of the Supreme Court of the United States, and the regn- lar army, of which he hag been an active member from the date of his gradation at West Point. He bears a high reputation for galleutry and military attainments. He entered the army July 1, 1886, as brevet second leu- tepant of the Second regiment of artillery, aud by suc- | éarly this morning; and as it was prev: cessive steps in line of promotion received the honorary ig institutions’ or in any way to interfere |- rank which he now holds in the army—that of captain and brevet in the Quartermaster’s department. He was of Scott's line in the triumphal march Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, and, we believe, has always been uty, except when detached and placed in com- mand of the camel expedition to Syria, a few years ago. Major Wayne is an excellent disciplinarian, a gallant sol- dier and an accomplished gentleman, and will no doubt Al] his new position with jt to himself and honor to his pative State of Georgia, THR GORGE LAW MUSKETS.
