e Frankfort Military Institute, his talents and aptitude as an officer soon elevated him to the rank of Captain in the battalion. When the Scott campaign fairly opened, he went with the Kentucky delegation to attend the great Whig Convention at Niagara, and we have still in our possession the letter which he wrote us, in the full gush of his youth's success. His return home was one continuous ovation. To speak of his career in New Orleans during that canvass would be unnecessary. The trallen, and at the hands of whom? I know the mind of Gen. Scott to be of too martial a cast to be easily moved; but when the news of this death reached his ears, he must have thought of him who caused to blaze all the deeds of his life; who from Niagara to the shores of the Gulf filled the brazen throat of fame with the tale of his prowess.

t with the Kentucky delegation to attend the great Whig Convention at Niagara, and we have still in our possession the letter which he wrote us, in the full gush of his youth's success. His return home was one continuous ovation. To speak of his career in New Orleans during that canvass would be unnecessary. The trials and triumphs of those days are green in the memory and hearts of the people. His life as an orator, as District Attorney, member of the Legislature, Captain and Lieut. Col., is known to all. The versatility of his genius was marvelous; he spoke with the utmost facility and correctness the English, French and Spanish languages, while his conversation glittered and sparkled with the choicest gems of classic lore. As a man, none could know him without being drawn toward him by irresistible sympathetic influences; his friendship was passion's essence — it kindled and warmed you with its own congenial heat; did the gloom of sadness light upon your soul, like sunshin

ivalrous motto, "If God be with us, what boots who the aggressor?" and that we must write for our mother South with the point of our swords an Iliad which will be worthy of the past. The South must be free, or else become a black Golgotha, rivaling the Calvary upon which were stretched the limbs of the God and man for the eternal teachings of generations. If, in a cause like ours, fall we must, fall we like Him! and when the legions whose conquering tramp is heard in the distance, "like the rush of mighty waters." will pause on the scene of carnage and inquire after their comrades gone before them, throughout the sounding corridors of all time the proud reverberations of Fame's echoes will answer, as did the soldiers of France on the honored grave of Latour D'Auvergne--"Fallen on the field of honor!" Let the blood of the martyred hero ascend as a holy holocaust to heaven, and draw blessings upon our nation, and his name live embalmed in the veneration and love of our people.

It must have been a noble sight to have seen him, as the light of the battle was on his brow, marshaling his force into line, the metallic notes of his from voice sounding in the fastnesses of the forest, then when he felt the gush of his life-blood through the lips of a mortal wound, stilling his proud and dauntless heart, and startling the echoes of eternity with the last adieu of his departing soul, as Lawrence, when the grape shot was in his ear, crying, "Boys, don't surrender; " afterward pillowing his drooping head on the breast of his valiant soldiers kneeling beside him.

nd I thought of those who had been the partners of the trials and joys of my youth, and the eye of my soul saw a flock of young eagles soaring through the darkness and mounting upward, and I thought of him whose remains now lie mouldering before you. There were then words of anger and menace; the sea began to darken with threatening vessels, our frontiers bristled with bayonets, and the tramp of armed men was heard on our borders — the South with one voice cried "to arms. " The spirit of Charles Dreux never could brook submission to wrong when accompanied with insult. In the full gush of his youth and of his usefulness; with the brand of genius, reeking and perfumed, all over him; the head of a young and dearly beloved family; engaged in the pursuit of a profession, which, wide open before him, held up to his eye the choicest rewards and honors; esteemed and beloved, he left father, wife, child, brothers and sisters, to bare his breast for his mother South.
