The LATE COL DREUx.-The New Orlean.
Delta pays the following tribute to the memory
of Col. Charles D. Drerx, who was killed in &
skrmish near Newport News.
No young officer left this State for the scene
Of war with brighter promise of distinction
not one lett behind larger circle of loving ano
admirng friends than Col. Dreux. He was the
idol OF his command, composed as it Of the
sons of our first citizens nearly all native Louis
ianians, and yonpg men of the loftiest sentiments
of honor and chivalry. OF an ancient Creole
French family, born in this city, educated at the
Military Institute in Kentucky, endowed with
talents of the highest order, aud with heart
overfowing with generous feelings and aspira-
tons and with all the qualities for command,
Col. Dreux, though a very young man, was ad-
rniraby adapted to lead our youth in perilous
enterprises His fine presence, quick eye, admi-
rable self-possession and daunless bearipg, sup
ported by his O. her high military and moral
qualities enabled him 10 control aud direct this
fine BODY OF Louisiana youths, with the control,
power and precision OF veteran troops. As cap
tain of the Orleans Cadets. the first volunteer
company in this city to offer their services to
the war. Capt Deeux no sooner appeared on the
field of active service, at Pensacola than the
ewes of his commanders and superior officers
were fixed upon him, as an officer who was des-
tined to achieve high distinction and renown in
his profession, and who could be safely trusted
to conduct the most important military move
ments. When the battalion of volunteers was
ordered to Virginia, Capt. Dreux, as Senior
Captain, became Lieut.. Colonel, promotion at
forwards ratified by the votes OF the officers OF
the bsttalion.
