Mr. Carter, after the usual instruction afforded by the neighborhood schools, took a course at Rumford Academy in King William county, Va. At the breaking out of the Civil war he was engaged on his father's plantation in Louisiana, whence he entered the Confederate service, attaching himself to the artillery branch of arms, where he served throughout the war, but was captured some time before the close of hostilities and placed in Fort Delaware, remaining in that lovely and luxurious retreat for about one year. Capt. Carter attained the command of his battery in 1862, having been promoted to a captaincy through gallantry and merit. After the war he returned to Anfield, and married, Feb. 2, 1867, Lucy R.
