KANSAS. 



parts of the State, including the First Baptist 

 Church of Richmond; and was pastor of the 

 Second Baptist Church of St. Louis, Missouri, 

 from 1849 to 1852, when he was recalled to 

 Richmond to take charge of the Grace Street 

 Baptist Church, which position he resigned to 

 become senior editor of the " Religious Herald." 

 He held positions of prominence in connec- 

 tion with various institutions of learning, in- 

 cluding the Southern Baptist Seminary at Lou- 

 isville, Kentucky. He was present at the or- 

 ganization of the Baptist General Association 

 of Virginia, in 1823 ; and several times a dele- 

 gate to the Baptist Triennial Convention, em- 

 bracing all the Baptists in the United States. 

 After the division of the denomination he pre- 

 sided over the Southern Baptist Convention at 

 several sessions. At the instance of the For- 

 eign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist 

 Convention, Dr. Jeter visited Italy to supervise 

 the mission work of the Board in that land, 

 and especially to provide a chapel for mission- 

 aries in Rome. As a writer he possessed rare 

 excellence, and was the author of various me- 

 moirs and religious works. 



JOHNSON, Ex-Governor HEESOHEL V., was 

 born in Burke County, Georgia, September, 

 1812. He graduated from the University of 

 Georgia, at Athens, in 1832, studied law and 

 began to practice in Augusta, Georgia, but re- 

 moved to Milledgeville, then the capital of the 

 State, in 1844, and soon attained a leading po- 

 sition at the bar. In 1848 he was appointed 

 by the Governor to fill the vacancy in the 

 United States Senate caused by the resigna- 



tion of Walter S. Colquitt. He served as Sen- 

 ator until March, 1849. From 1849 to 1853 he 

 was Judge of the Superior Court of Georgia. 

 In 1853 he was elected Governor. In 1860 he 

 was nominated for the Vice-Presidency on the 

 ticket with Stephen A. Douglas, which repre- 

 sented the principle of non-intervention, which 

 was understood to mean that Congress should 

 not interfere with the question of slavery or 

 no slavery in a territory, but that it should 

 be left to the inhabitants to determine, when 

 they assembled to form a State. He was a 

 member of the Union party, and opposed the 

 secession of Georgia to the last ; but when the 

 fact was accomplished, he cast his lot with his 

 State, and represented her as Senator in the 

 Confederate Congress. In 1864 he inaugu- 

 rated the " peace movement " on the basis of 

 State sovereignty. In 1865 his disabilities were 

 removed, at the request of the widow of Ste- 

 phen A. Douglas. Governor Johnson's prop- 

 erty was completely destroyed during Sher- 

 man's march to the sea. He visited Alexander 

 Stephens during his imprisonment in Fort War- 

 ren. In September, 1865, he held a confer- 

 ence with Andrew Johnson in regard to re- 

 construction. He presided over the Constitu- 

 tional Convention held in October of that 

 year. He received thirty-eight votes for United 

 States Senator in the election held in January, 

 1866. He resumed the practice of the law. 

 In 1873 he became circuit judge, which posi- 

 tion he held until his death, which occurred 

 at his home in Jefferson County, Georgia, on 

 August 16th.
