The command of his company devolved
now exclusively on himself. The impor-
lant duties now resting on him, aud The
trying emergencies in which he was pac.
ed, called forth all the energies of his ma
lure, and exhibited him in new light,
and under new developments of character.
He came up manfuIy TO The high de-
mands of his new post, and displayed a
degree of resolution and prompti,ude rare
in one so young aud inexperienced. While
leading his men fearcssly on in the paths
danger and distinction before the heights
of ChapuI'epec, he fell by the enemy's
fire, covering himself with honor and slo
ry. He survived his wound some hours.
aud al length expired in a village near the
city Of Mexico, ('racubaya) to which he
had been removed. His death was deep
ly felt by his command, and much lament
ed by the whole regiment: 70: he was
much beloved and esteemed. He deserves
a conspicu us rank among the young war
riurs. who died fighting for their country
and State. South Carolina, knowing his
character, would take pride in doing honor

an unfair advantage.
