He was married September 19, 1860, to Miss Jane Thigpen and they have three children living: John C., Ceth S., Jr., and Dora Ada, now Mrs. Charles M. Mason, of Foreston. Captain Frederick Graham Latham, first lieutenant-commander of Fort Sumter camp, Charleston, was born at Latham, in Perthshire, Scotland, in 1833, the youngest son of the late Lieut. John Latham, of the Thirty-second Gordon Highlanders. He did not become a resident of South Carolina until 1854, but nevertheless he was a faithful son of the State in her hour of trial, and demonstrated on many bloody fields his heroic devotion to her cause. In April, 1861, he enlisted in the State service as first lieutenant in the Fifth regiment and served with that command for one year. The Palmetto sharpshooters regiment of twelve companies was then formed, and in this he became first lieu

ry man did his duty with aladrity, and there being few guns that bore on the enemy, there was a continued contest as to who should man them. When volunteers were called for to perform any laborious duty, there was a rush of men from every company in the fort. Among the last guns fired were those on the parapet, and the men stood there, exposed to a storm of iron hail, to the last. When the flag was shot down on the second day, Lieut. Christopher Hussey, of the Montgomery Guards, and Private John Latham, of the Washington Volunteers, leaped upon the exposed parapet and disentangled the flag and remounted it at the northeastern angle on a temporary staff. The terms of capitulation were arranged by Colonel Olmstead and General Gillmore, and the swords of the officers were received by Maj. Charles G. Halpine, of literary fame as Miles O'Reilly.

ents advanced, a change of position in the face of an advancing body of the enemy caused temporary confusion, which was rectified by Adjutant Gardner, who dashed boldly to where the line should be, and rode back and forth under fire, waving his sword defiantly at the enemy. The regiment promptly rushed into position and drove .the enemy from the woods. Their advance ceased at 8 p. m., a mile ahead of any other Confederate troops except Jenkins' regiment, their comrades in the charge. Sergeant Latham, of Company D, color-bearer, and the color guard were distinguished for intrepid conduct. The colors were pierced twenty times. The Twenty-eighth was also under fire in the same movement for three or four hours. Capt. John N. Wilcox, left in command in consequence of the illness of Lieut.-Col. James G. Cain, led the regiment with coolness and gallantry through the fight. Commissary John T. Hall, Lieut. P. F. Crump, Adjutant Wicker and Sergt.-Maj. J. E. Thompson were commended for
