y replied, I won't, it is too much hot, and the brave Frenchman absolutely refused to lower or close it and continued to shield his huge body from the sun's scorching rays, preferring to risk the bullets to the terrible heat. The company laughed at and approved their captain's daring conduct, and did not join in the almost universal request to haul down that umbrella. The poor fellow died soon after, a victim to disease. He always reminded me of Lieutenant Porgy, a racy character in Wm. Gilmore Simms' interesting novel, The partisan. We slept in line of battle, on our arms, ready for action, near the battle-field.

d unconditionally. This is a foregone conclusion in South Carolina. It is a matter for devout thankfulness that the Convention will embody the very highest wisdom and character of the State: private gentlemen, judges of her highest legal tribunals, and ministers of the Gospel. . . .. Before we issue another number of this paper the deed may be done — the Union may be dissolved — we may have ceased to be in the United States. One of the most distinguished literary men of the South (William Gilmore Simms), in a letter to the author, dated December 13, 1860. said: In ten days more, South Carolina will have certainly seceded; and in reasonable interval after that event, if the forts in our harbor are not surrendered to the State, they will be taken. With equal confidence and precision all the politicians spoke in the ears of the people, and only a few men, like the noble and venerable J. L. Pettigru of Charleston, gladly doubted the success of the kindling revolt, and dared to say so

Simms wrote two novels, Beauchampe (1842) and Charlemont (1856), upon this event, and C. F. Hoffman his Greyslaer (1840). Beauchampe was dramatized in 1856 by John Savage under the title of Sybil, which was frequently played. Mrs. Conner transferred the scene to Milan at the close of the fifteenth century. This preference for foreign scenes, especially in Spain or Italy, remains one of the significant features of this type of play. There has been a tendency total domestic drama, scored one of his greatest popular successes. The dramatization of American novels calls for a word of comment here. The work of Cooper, W. G. Simms, J. P. Kennedy, C. F. Hoffman, R. M. Bird, T. S. Fay, Mrs. Stowe, and others, was quickly placed on the stage. It will be noticed that it was chiefly in the s

skill in politics. The greater and better part of Southern literature has been produced since the Civil War. William Gilmore Simms. There were, however, three or four antebellum writers who attempted to give literary expression to the Southern life or the Southern spirit. The first of them in point of time was William Gilmore Simms. He was in some respects akin to Cooper; a writer of robust temper, a talent for narrative, and an eye for the picturesque in Southern history. He was, as a whole affords an interesting picture, but not a great picture, of Southern life and manners. Hayne and Timrod. Simms was born, and lived for most of his life, in Charleston, which was also the native city of the two poets, Hayne and Timro of almost all the poetry which was produced, and applauded, in the North during the same period.
