CONFEDERATE CABINET OFFICERS, AP- POINTED FROM GEORGIA.
HON. ROBERT TOOMES, of Georgia, served as the first Secre- tary of State of Confederate Government from February 21 to July 21, 1861. HON. WM. M. BROWNE, of Georgia, after- wards Colenel A. D. C., on military staff of President Davis, and subsequently promoted to grade of Brigadier-General, C. S. A., served as Assistant Secretary of State of Confederacy during his administration.
HON. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS, of Georgia, served as the first and only Vice-President of the Confederate States. As such, he was an ex-officio member of the Confederate Cabinet. He was also, in his Vice-Presidential capacity, President of the Confederate Senate. He served as Vice-President from Febru- ary 18, 1861, until the downfall of the Confederate Govern- ment. He was arrested, by order of the Federal authorities, May 11, 1865.
HON. PHILIP CLAYTON, of Georgia, served as Assistant Secre- tary of the Confederate Treasury during the greater part of the Confederate War (1861-5) (see Life and Times of C. G. Memminger, first Secretary of the Confederate Treasury, by Henry D. Capers). It is interesting to remember that Hox. HENBY D. CAPERS, of Georgia, was appointed and commis- sioned as Chlef Clerk and Disbursing Officer of Treasury De- partment, C. S. A., February 19, 1861. He served as such for some months (as the records seem to show), becoming, later, Major and Lieutenant-Colonel of Twelfth Georgia Artillery Battalion. He has (I believe) the unique credit of being the eldest commissioned Cabinet Officer of the Confederate Gov- ernment. HON. BOLLING BAKER, of Georgia, became the First Auditor of the Confederate Treasury. He served, apparently, during the life of the Confederate Government. Hox. A. H. (J. A .? ) CRAWFORD, of Georgia, was appointed Chief of Bureau of Warrants, Treasury Department, C. S. A., February 22, 1861.
