GAN, son ;. of ARCHER and Macy MegGAs of
Edgeicld District, in tho 9th year OF hi, age.
Ho was among the FIRST 70 obey his countrys
cell and was present at tho taking of Fort Sumter.
Ho was wounded at tho hattie Of Richmond on
tho 2sth of June 1852, and fell vict.m.to Ty-
phoid Fever as above stated. Thus has fallen enc
who va, in the pride and flower of youth; o true
hearted and gallant young man upon whom his
parents dotted with affection. Ho Possessed tho
qualities Of p true soldier, and priced his honor
above allrichcs. he was faithful to his friends,
obedienttp his parents, md. kind and atfectonate
to his brothors and ST ters. He died after pre-
tracted illness Of thirty days, which affection be
bore with Christian furtitude. he retained his
consciousness until bis spirit left the body. BE
gave evidence to bis parents, who Mt length visited
him, that he died Christian.
He has left his aged parents, and numerous
train of relatives and friends, to their losa.
But they sorrow not as those who have no hope.
In reviewing the careor of this noble and de-
voted soldier, we cannot bnt wonder at the ways
in uh ci God ordans tho Tires and rewards of his
creatures. 1t would seen that after more than
three years Of arducus and devoted service in the
caase of his native South, he should have boon
spared to glory in and enjoy her independence.
But lie who docth al things nell' has thought
and ordered otherwise. Let us striye tc say:
