OF Reed, commonly known as "Old Reed"
Reed wOs quite notorious in his way and his
religious belief was that after death he should

course, and continue to neglect and abuse

William Jasper was d martyr to freedom.
The Emerald Isle, that garden spot OF beau.
ty, chivnIry, and song /; land ordiinad by
the Creator in his wise benifcence for a
higher destiny than sh, ever vet oecuDjel ;.
gave birth to this you'aul hero Of tho nsv-
olu'ion. The annals OF American history
afford no brighter tx1mple Of herosm, and
teaCless devotion to our sacred colo1 es, ,
such bOdness OF execution, md indomitabe
will, rs is "Xlbited in the Temperament and
character OF us beloved Jasper well may
we excIaim
"He tore aside the azure robe Of night,
And planted hero tho glorious star and stripes"
From the land OF his nativity he emigrated
at on early age to South Carolina, where he
married and settled in one o. the interior dis.
districts of the State, sometime previous to
the bloody era OF the Revolution. The first
We II authenticated rec ,rd that we can trace of
him where he occupied an eDvipble position,
was the defence OF Fort Mouitrie, on sull-
van . lsldeu HehT CHdrie5tuHS oH tue Sotn
June, l776. Here, where the generous and
valiant had been gathered to seek honorable
Justice and preserve the name of liberty, he
wore proudly the laurel wreath. Amid the
desolatiOn and havoc of that ever memorable
conflict, which, for time, cast gloomy
shadow over the manly heart Of many true
soldier, did he portray all the noble quail
ties which Nature had bestowed upon him.
When the battle appeared as one universal
scene OF struggle aud dismay, and the mo.
ment for action had arrived, cannon ball
struck the flag staff, that signal OF the brave,
and bore it to the earth. One continued
shout of victory was heard from the enemy
amid the volleys of artillery and the density
OF smoke. But Providence, that presides
over the destinies of war, had decreed other
wise. AT another instant, Jasper eapsd the
ramparts, seized the ensign already GRIM
soned with blood Of the dying and dead,
placed it on his spontoon, unfurled it to the
breeze, and cried aloud, when danger threat
ened and peril was high: "Heaven save
liberty and my country" Who csn recall
such an achievement and such unfading zeal
without tribute and praisei
