d beloved, he left father, wife, child, brothers and sisters, to bare his breast for his mother South. He made Louisiana's cause his own; and the first in the lead of our volunteer troops, and surrounded by his devoted followers, he left the pleasures of home and entered the tented field. With the firm, elastic steps of the knightly warrior he was ascending the heights of fame and glory, when he poured out his heart's blood in a libation to Liberty. Born in New Orleans on the 11th of May, A. D, 1832 Charles Didler Dreux, from early youth, gave promise of eminent success in life. The issue of one of our oldest Creole families, after preliminary studies, he was sent to Amherst College, Mass., then under the superintendency of Mr Hitchcock, who is now a Peter the Hermit in the unholy crusade against the South; after a short visit to his native city, he and his two younger brothers became Cadets of the Western Military Institute, at Blue Lick Springs, Ky.; becoming a member of

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.

famous in history: "Come back with it, or upon it "--I believe the heart of this great city when it sent forth its sons to repel the invasion of fanaticism, must have been filled with the same proud confidence in the spirit of its youth.--They went forth to the onset with the heroic determination to be worthy their lineage and the cause which kindled before them like a beacon set on high. Like the body of a Lacedemonian hero carried through the mournful streets on a floor of shields, Charles Didfer Dreux comes to his last resting-place escorted by the brave hearts of his fellow-soldiers beating in unison with the heart of the State, while the tears of the people fall like dew upon his grave. It must have been sad for him to have engaged in this war; and I feel the woe which must have entered his great heart as the memories of his youth, the struggles and triumphs of other days, crowded thick and fast upon his soul. He venerated, almost idolized, the American Union; and he looked

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. He has fallen, 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 w

Oh! General Scott, 'twas you who armed the hand which snapped his heart-strings, and that, too, on the soil of your mother State.

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.
