OF our common Country.
In the organization, some eighteen months
since, by act of Congress, of ten new rcgi-
ments OF infantry, a captains commission
was conferred upon one of our ctizens,-
Augustus Quarles. Prompt 10 the call Of his
country; Capt. Quarles, assisted by his eff.
hcicnt aids, was soon on his way 10 the
scene OF conflict, with a gallant company,
numbering upwards of one hundred men.

Quarles III front of his company, cheering
on his men, was struck by a ball from an
enemy's gun. He fell at the head of his
company, and his last words on the field
were words of encouragement to his men.
He died, and his remains were brought 10
New Orleans. At the last session of our
territorial legislature an appropriation was
made, designed to procure the removal OF
those remains from New Orleans to the
State from which he went forth TO battle.
The requirements Of that law have been
fulfilled and his mortal remains are now
waiting their final inlcrment at Southport,
the place of his late residence. Tuesday,
the 9Th day of June inst, has been fixed
upon for the commitment of these remains
10 their final resting place. Many parts OF
our state will be represented on that orca-
sion, and by the relatives of the deceased
am requested to extend an invitation TO be
present to this body and its presiding Off
