Rebel War Clerk

A likeness of Jones when he was editor and majority owner of the Daily Madisonian during President John Tyler’s administration.

APRIL 7th.—R. G. H. Kean, a young man, and a connection of Mr. Randolph, has been appointed Chief of the Bureau of War in place of Col. Bledsoe, resigned at last. Mr. Kean was, I believe, a lieutenant when Mr. Randolph was colonel, and acted as his adjutant.
