Mr. EDrToR:--On Friday, the 10th instant,
we witnessed the burial Of an old patriot
MARTIN HASY. who died the day previous, at
the good old age Of seventy one. -
Born as it were at the birth Of American
Independence, he received into his bosom the
patriotic fire of the revolution. and preserv-
ed IL unmpaired until the day of his death.
And in 1912, when the shrill note of the
bugle, bid the sons Of freedom arise to de.
fend their cohntrys cause. he Hesitated not to
obey. but girded on his. knapsack told his
friends farewell, and hastened to the field Of
carnage, that he might sacrifice British in.
vader upon the altar of his ambition With
relentless fury lie pursued his obJect-with
no less success he executed his design.
He also served in the Floride war under
Gen. Jackson. Through famine aud fatigue,
he pursued the blood thirsty savage; always
enduring the misery Of the camp, aud the
danger of the field. with uncommon fortitude
and patience. Never willing that his coun-
trys flag should trail in the dust, or that the
eagle of liberty should soar from battle with.
out having victory perched upon its brow,
and its pinions bathed in the blood of Just
revenge. Oft have / talked with him of his
adventures-"whate torm he struggled with
what perils he surmounted" When he
spoke of these things, he seemed to elude the
grasp of age, and take upon himself the
habilirnents Of youth, his eyes would sparkle
with delight. His whole soul would throb
with transport rs he watched with eager gaze
the growing prosperity of the country for
which he fought, and for which he was will.
ling to die.
But at last he had to contend with an enc
my against which no human power could give
him succor or assistance. And when he
could no longer serve the god Of war, he gave
himself to the mercy Of the God of Heaven,
whom. we trust, sent convoy of angels
down. composed Of the comrades who fell by
his side in the battle field, (if such there be, }
to snatch his soul from its earthly habitation,
and bear it nloft to the bright elysian plains
of glory. While we, his surviving friends,
conveyed his body to the silent grave yard,
and consigned it to the narrow limits of the
deep damp vault where it awaits the resur.
rection morn. Truly, did the countenances
of that little group which assembled around
the grave Of the old warrior, tell how 10th
we were to give him up; but that silvery lock
of hair which was slightly blown across his
forehead. bespoke him ripe for eternity. To
the widow of the deceased, in behalf of this
community, we tender our heartfelt condo.
lence. CHloy.
