DEATH OF L. N. KEIrr.-The gifted chill
dren of the South are falling falt-yielding
their lives in the cause offrecdom. Scarcely
does the wall of anguish over ono die away
before the death of another is heraldsd. Son
Wednesday last, Col. Lawrence NJ. Keitt, Of
South Carolina, fell at the head Of his regi-
ment in Virginia.
He did not commence the battle Of indepen.
dence with the WARRIOR many years previous,
from his place in the House of Represents.
tives at Washington, he manfully and elo-
uuently defended the honor, tue integrity and
the rights of HIS native land. Aud when the
hour of separation came-when the day arriv-
ed when there was nothing left for brave and
true men to do but lendstheir influence and
counsel to seaeration Of all politicalt ties ha,
bound the two sections together, Col. Keitl
was prompt in action and decisive in decd.
His noble spirit has gone back to the Cos
who gave it. His memory still lives The
brave" SAID Fsstus, "die not Being death
less, they but change their country's heart
Give thou the dead their due; it's they who
save us."-Macon Confederate.
