After this battle an armistice was propos-

commissioners.
At the battle Of Molino del Rcy he rode
over the field with the bullets flying around
him, aud was called off by Gen. Worth, who
sold him he was rash. He was at the battle
of Chepultepcc; and when the victory de-
clared for the stars and stripes, the South!
Carolinaus and the Ninth Regiment, which,
had fought together at Chepultepec aud Con-

one common stream, and the Palmetto regi-I

These battles had cemcnted the union of
North and South, and he hoped they would

given for tho Palmetto regiment, which,
were loudly responded to; and the same COM

the Yankees.
After this battle he resigned his commits

Gen. Scott and the General often invited
him to dinner.
