OBITUARY. GENERAL GEORGE E. PICKETT. Major General George E. Pickett, of Virginia, died at Norfolk, at a quarter to eleven last night, after a brief iiness. Deceased, who was the eldest son of the late Colonel Robert Pick- | ett, of Henrico county, Virginia, was | born in the city of Richmond, In June, 1842, he entered West Point, from whence he graduated in June, 1846. In the au- | tumn of the latter year deceased was assigned to duty in the Eighth infantry with the rank of bre- vet second lieutenant, and joined the United States army then in Mexico in time to participate in | General Scott's expedition against Vera Cruz and | the march upon the Mexican capital. The Eighth | infantry formed a portion of General Worth’s com- | mand, and Lieutenant Pickett was noticed in the | Teports of General Scott for his gallant conduct in tae batties of Contreras, Churubusco, Molino Del Rey and Chapultepec; and “for gallant and Meritorious conduct” at the last named buttie he received the brevet rank of captain. When Vir. ginia seceded from the Union in 1861 Captain | Pickett, who had since the close of the Mexican war been on active duty in Texas, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington Territory, responded to the call of bis native State, and re- signing his commission hastened to Richmond, the then capital of the Southern Con- federacy. He was at once commissioned as colonel, and assigned to duty on the lower Rappahannock. In February, 1862, he was mad brigadier in Longstreet’s division of tne Army of the Potomac. The com- mand to which he was assigned participated with honor in the stubboruly contested battles of Wiilamsburg, Seven Pines and Gaines’ Milis, General Picket receiving at the last named piace a severe wound in the shoulder, which disabled him for several months. It was subsequently, at the battle of Gettysburg, however, that General Pickett made the most briliiant Mark in his military career. On that | memorable occasion Pickett’s division coverea | iNselt with glory by its heroic charge upon | “the tron-clud crest of Gettysourg,” led | by their favorite commander in person. Every brigadier in tne division fell and its ranks lost about three-foarths of their number in the terrific struggle for victory. after the retreat of Lee’s army from Pennsylvania General Pickett was placed in command o1 the Department ol Virginia and North Carolina, and he organized an attack upon Newbern, Nortn Carolina, then in possession of the federal torces and strongly jortified, He failed in this undertaking, but uader such circumstances that he added to his reputation as an energetic | and able commander. In May, 1864, when General Butler threatened Richmond, with Nis troops oc: cupying City Point and Bermuda Handred, Gen- eral Pickett, who had previously been relieved of his command, was ordered to remain ana cefend Petersburg. ‘This he did, hvlding all the pproaches with new levies of padiy med men till me was succeeded py | General Beauregard, who had arrived witn reinforcements 0! veteran troops. In the last act | ol the war, betore Petersourg, Pickett a his heroic men figured with conspicuoas galiantry. In the battle o: Five Forks nis division vore the | brunt and only gave way waen the federal torce | became overwhelming. Afier tnis crushing de- feat General Pickett, with the scattering rem- nants of his men, retreated toward Amelia Court House, He suosequently reported w General | pngstreet, under whom he served till the South- | ern army Was finally surrendered and dispersed, General Pickett was attacked some days since | with gastric lever and taken Co the Hospital of st. | Vincent de Paul, at Norfolk. Here he was at- tended by hin devoted wie, by Dr. Beale, of Ricn- mond, and by a large iamily circle, as well as by Rumerous itiends residing in the neighborhood.
