NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE ABBEVILLE PRESS", Abbeville, South Carolina for DECEMBER 1863 NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, DECEMBER 4, 1863 DEATH OF MR. JAMES IRWIN It is with the deepest regret that we announce the death of our highly esteemed friend and neighbor, Mr. James Irwin. He died at 9 o'clock Saturday night on the 28th ult. and his funeral services were performed by the Rev. W.G. Gaines on the following day, after which is remains were deposited in Long Cane church yard. In his death our community has lost one of its best citizens, one who had enlisted the confidence of all who knew him. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved wife and children. Peace to his ashes. -------- IN MEMORIAM Departed this life on Saturday the 28th of November 1863, James Irwin, in the 46th year of his age. Mr. Irwin was a member of Company F, 1st S.C. State Troops. He had been on the coast for some time and returned home with that scourge of camp life, chronic diarrhea in conjunction with jaundice and intermittent fever. He recovered from the severity of these symptoms but very soon relapsed, and the disease subsequently settled in his lungs which soon carried him off. No man stood higher in his neighborhood than Mr. Irwin. He was loved by all who knew him, was truthful and honest and upright in all his dealings, and more than this, he had ben the subject of serious religious impressions for a long time past, and only his sense of his "unworthiness" had prevented him from joining the church. Not long before he died, he told the writer that his way to Heaven was clear, that he could put his entire confidence in God for soul and body and for both worlds. It is confidently believed that he died a Christian. Medicus, Abbeville, Nov. 30, 1863 ------- NOTICE to Clerk of the Court of Abbeville District, S.C.

COL. JULIUS PORCHER OF THE 10th S.C. Regiment Ere this the tidings of the death of this gallant and efficient officer has reached the ears of most of our readers. He fell while in the late engagement with the enemy near Chattanooga, Tennessee. His body is in the hands of the enemy. Col. Porcher was an officer who was much respected in military circles for his bearing as an officer and a gentleman. He was possesed of all that constituted the gentleman and christian and by his eveness of temper and amiable disposition, he had endeared himself to all who knew him. In point of education and intellect, he had but few equals. In his death, the Regiment and country has sustained a severe loss. ------- MARRIED, on Nov. 11, 1863 by Rev. George Allen, Wm. Allen Clements of Williamston, S.C. to Miss Barbara Clinkscales of Abbeville district. ------- IN MEMORIAM OF LIEUT. WM. M. ROGERS It is this life only we had hope how gallant, how unalloyed, which would be our grief now when the fatal missives of death are flying througout the land, cutting off our objects of our true, or our hope and of our love, and bidding us break off the bleeding tendrils of affection, which we had so fondly nourished, and cast them into the gloomy vortex of oblivion. "Oh, it is a fearful thing to love what Death may touch!" But we are assured that those once united to us in the bonds of Christian faith are not "dead, but gone before"; not rooted up but transplanted by our Heavenly Father's hand from scenes of strife and bitterness to a happier and more congenial soil. At an early period of this country's need, the subject of this notice assisted in raising a volunteer company for active service and through all the tedious watchings and dreadful conflicts of the subsequent campaigns in Virginia and Maryland, he bore his part as becometh a patriot and christian. Of his merits of an officer, we do not pretend to speak; but his long experience in the military training of his native district, his energy of character and his inherent patriotism, show how much his country has lost in his death. Lieut. Rogers was of French Protestant origin, being the eldest son of Capt. Paul Rogers, one of the last of the Huguenots of Abbeville district. From childhood to mature years he was distinguished for his obliging and amiable deportment and for the conscientious discharge of every duty. His heightened principles and generous bearing entitled him to unqualified respect as a friend and private citizen. Most unassuming by nature, he seldom manifested his feelings to the world; and the influence he exerted as a christian was mainly the powerful one of example. A single sobriety and purity of conduct had early set him as a sign for others, and for five year previous to his premature death, he had represented the people as Ruling Elder in the Church of his Father's. But it was only in the dear domestic circle, that throne whence man dispenses the blessings of a well ordered life, that his virtues could be properly estimated. There, an affectionate wife, two infant daughters and a fond Uncle miss him as only those can be missed who have so nobly fulfilled all the higher claims of humanity. It was at Chickamauga to which place his regiment had been lately ordered, that our dear friend received his death wound. From the field hospital he was removed to Rome, Ga. and after some weeks of severe suffering, he calmly resigned his soul into the hands of his Redeemer on Sabbath morning, October 18. His last hours were soothed by the consolation of religion and by the presence of some of the dear members of his family. And his remains are privileged to rest near his aged father in the cemetery of that church in which he had been nurtured. -------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, DECEMBER 18, 1863 TRIBUTE TO R.L. DRENNON Mr. Editor, Allow me through the columns of your valuable journal to pay a short tribute to a loved friend, Serg't R.L. Drennon. He is gone. He died a martyr to this country in a glorious cause. We only enjoyed his acquaintance for a short time, but found him a true and tried friend. He possessed an amiable and social temperament and was endeared to all who knew him. He was the family jewel. Mr. Drennon volunteered in Company A, Col Jno. Moore's Regiment, while stationed in Virginia. He was engaged in many important battles while in Virginia and came out unscathed. After which his Regiment was transferred to the West to reinforce Gen's Bragg and there in a skirmish shortly after the Battle of Chickamauga, he received the fatal wound. He died instantly. May he rest from this world of war and pestilence in his Savior's bosom. -------- SOUTH CAROLINA CASUALTIES AT MISSIONARY RIDGE Headquarters 10th and 19th S.C.V. Near Dalton, Ga.

Reference: Seller's History of Marion County, South Carolina I. HENRY FLOWERS, Sr was born in *England (?) and came to America about 1750. He married PATSEY SAVAGE and settled in what is now Marion Co, SC prior to Revolution. *Note: Wills of Isle of Wight Co, VA prove Henry was NOT born in ENGLAND. (aep) Their issue: 1. Archibald FLOWERS 2. John FLOWERS 3. II. Henry FLOWERS, Jr (m. Rachel (STUART) BENNETT (widow of William BENNETT) 4. James FLOWERS 5. Jacob FLOWERS 6. Bennett FLOWERS 7. Mary or Mollie FLOWERS 8. Elizabeth or Betsey FLOWERS 9. Nancy FLOWERS 10. Sarah or Sallie FLOWERS 11. Olivia FLOWERS "Old man Henry FLOWERS built the first Methodist Church in Marion sometime about 1782 and it was called FLOWERS Meeting House of which his seven sons and five daughters were members. This church was about four miles from the present town of Marion and the First Methodist Church in Marion is the same organization as was FLOWERS Meeting House. Bishop Asbury makes reference in his journal oftentimes about stopping at the home of Henry FLOWERS, Sr." Sellers does not name the wives of Henry FLOWERS, Sr children except for Henry, Jr and Bennett FLOWERS. *7 Above: Bennett FLOWERS, youngest son of Henry FLOWERS, Sr, married Annie PAYNE. 1. Ervin Huger FLOWERS - m. Elizabeth KEEFE. Issue one child. 1.1 Tabitha K. FLOWERS Elizabeth (KEEFE) FLOWERS m. 2nd Matthew MARTIN after FLOWERS' death. 2. John J. FLOWERS - m. (1) son: (1) m. his first cousin, Anne FLOWERS (confusing, who married 1st cousin?) 3. Annis FLOWERS - m. Solomon OWENS 4. Olivia FLOWERS - m. General Elly GODBOLD 5. Annie FLOWERS - died single #3 Henry FLOWERS, Jr, son of Henry FLOWERS, Sr (see above) - married the widow Rachel BENNETT, nee Rachel STUART of Bladen Co, NC. Henry died intestate in Marion Co, SC and his estate was administered 2 Aug 1800 by his widow Mrs. Rachel FLOWERS and her bond was signed by Shadrack BROWN and John POWERS. The Inventory was made by John POWERS, Thomas GODBOLD and Durham REVEL. Sellers states in his History of Marion County that this family are buried in an old FLOWERS graveyard which is now called the GASQUE Graveyard and is just off the road from Marion to Latta, SC. Marion Co Deed 5 Nov 1806 - Mrs. Rachel FLOWERS and her children by her late husband, Henry FLOWERS, Jr. (Book C, p. 317). Tract of land 4 miles east of town of Marion, Smith Swamp on west side; said land being part of 200 acres surveyed for James GRAVES 4th Jan 1757, late acquired by Henry FLOWERS, Jr. Mrs Rachel FLOWERS signed as widow and the children as heirs: Henry, Nathan, Elizabeth, William, *Olivia (FLOWERS) ALTMAN, Martha, Lovelace FLOWERS. Notes 1. Martha "Patsey" SAVAGE was the d/o Lovelace SAVAGE, sure to connect to the Surry County, VA SAVAGE families where there are Loveliss SAVAGE wills. 2. *Olivia FLOWERS m. John ALTMAN 3. Nancy ALTMAN, d/o John and Olivia (FLOWERS) ALTMAN m Thomas F. POOL>William POOL>John POOL (RS), b. 1758, probably Brunswick Co, VA. This is Ray W. Pool's lineage, husband of Audrey E Pool.

Here is the reason I believe our Henry FLOWERS' father was Edward FLOWERS, not a John FLOWERS, according to the FLOWERS book. Audrey BARNES: "BARNES, JOHN: Leg. son John, land adjoining Nicholas WILLIAMS and Richard WASHINGTON; son Thomas; daughter ELIZABETH FLOWERS; grandson Henry FLOWERS; son William; daughter Juda DAVIS; daughter (Mary) BEST; son Jacob, land adjoining on Arthur WASHINGTON and Edward FLOWERS; son Joshua; daughter Sarah SUMMERELL land adjoining Robert LAWRENCE; to Thomas CRAFFORD; to loving wife. Exx: sons Jacob and Joshua BARNES. D. March 27, 1736. R. May 23, 1737. Wit: William WILLIAMS, Thomas ALLEN, Benjamin FLOWERS. Page 167."

I don't think our Henry was the s/o a John FLOWERS as seen in this file, but the s/o Edward FLOWERS of Isle of Wight Co, VA. Some of this record came from the FLOWERS book.

Jim, Interesting that you should follow the requests for FLOWERS. I know we've corresponed, but in our FLOWERS line, Patsy (Martha) SAVAGE m. Henry FLOWERS, Sr...both families of Isle of Wight and Surry Counties, VA. If I have not shared a Gen Report with you, do you want one? I could send to the List and maybe someone else will find something of interest. Both of these families migrated from the two counties above to Edgecombe Co, NC; wills are seen in my will book of Edgecombe County for both FLOWERS & SAVAGE. My direct line of FLOWERS/SAVAGE migarted on to Marion Co, SC from Edgecombe Co, NC. I have wills in my files for both of these families.

William Hill, Ordinary, Abbeville District; Aug. 27, 1863 -------- CAPTAIN JOHN H. GARY South Carolina has reason to be proud of her youths, especially as they are represented in the students of her colleges and the cadets of her military institutions, who taught all of them to prize honor far more dearly than life. Brave, truthful, impuslive and full of state pride, we might challange any country to show a body of young men superior to them in all the qualities that constitute manhood. Of these youths, Capt. John H. Gary was one of the noblest types. He was the son of Dr. Thomas R. Gary of Abbeville and was born on the 17th of August, 1840 in the village of Cokesbury. At the commencement of the war, he had been just graduated with distinction at Columbia College, where also his fine qualities had won for him the position of Captain of the College Cadets. These young soldiers were under his command when they took part in the siege of Sumter. On the 6th of June, 1861 he was appointed by Gen. Evans, brother-in-law, 2nd Lieutenant in Lucas' Battallion of Artillery, was subsequently promoted to 1st Lieutenant and in January 1862 was made Captain of Company A. In the course of his brief career, he displayed the greatest efficiency as a soldier and gave the highest satisfaction to his commanders. He commanded the batteries at Grimball's, where he assisted materially in the capture of the Isaac P. Smith, and shared in the defense of Fort Wagner from July 19th to the 3rd of August. On the 11th of August he was sent back to Wagner where on the next day, while in command of the guns, he received the wound which resulted in his death on the 17th. He was just permitted to complete his twenty-third year. Brave as his own sword, of a force of character singular in one so young, an enthusiast, both as a soldier and a patriot, yet, as gentle as a girl, Captain Gary will not soon be forgotten by his friends, his state or his country. ------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, SEPTEMBER 18, 1863 STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, William Hodges has applied for letters of administration on the good, chattels, rights and credits of William C.C.

This 24th day of Sept. 1863. William Hill, O.A.D. -------- IN MEMORIAM Died, at the homestead on Saturday the twenty-first day of November, 1863, Mr. Samuel Turner in the 59th year of his age. Seldom are we called upon to record the death of so worthy or so highly esteemed a friend and citizen, as one we have lost forever from our midst. A just God in the dispensation of His providence, has seen fit to take away from among us one who was near and dear to everyone within the large circle of his acquaintances. An affectionate wife and a large family of young children very deeply mourn their great loss, and also his friends in the neighborhood feel like they have indeed lost the dearest one among them. They knew him to be a kind and affectionate husband and a truly loving father, lenient to a fault with his servents, and a very kind master. He was always ready to give a helping hand to the needy; he was just in all his dealings, humble in all his traits. The destitute never asked of him in vain, nor did the wayward ever forget his good counsels. Mr. Turner had been a consistent member of the Presybterian church for many years. He was of high standing among them and as remarked by one on the day of his funeral, "he was a true soldier of the cross." He endeavored to bring his children up in the true way, to always shun vice, and to fear the Lord. Let them now learn that what has been their loss has been his gain. The Father will hold his protective hand over the widow in her affliction, deal gentle with her in her trouble. May He guide the footsteps of those little fatherless ones, help them to learn to walk in the path of truth and wisdom, keep them always over His watchful eye; and teach them that as He giveth, He taketh away. ----------

There is a lot of information on FLOWERS, even a book that takes them into England. I think the request here recently was for a John Yancy FLOWERS, and I've looked through my FLOWERS records for him, but with no luck. He may be one of the John FLOWERS (many of them). Would the person give me a county, state and anything else about him? That would help in identifying one of the John FLOWERS.

NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE ABBEVILLE PRESS", Abbeville, South Carolina for JULY 1863 NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JULY 3, 1863 MOURNFUL INTELLIGENCE The Carolinian of the 26th ult. says "We announced yesterday the sad news of the death of Rev. R.W. Barnwell. The telegraph was since given us the death of his devoted wife Mary Carter Singleton. They leave four orphan children." Their remains are expected to arrive here Sunday morning. --------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JULY 10, 1863 IN MEMORIAM John Brownlee was born in Abbeville district, S.C. on the 17th of Sept. 1806 and died very suddenly at Williamston Springs of some disease of the heart on the 6th of June 1863. Having been in bad health for some time he had gone hither to try the medicinal properties of the water. He was expected home the next week but on Saturday night he was attacked suddenly and severely and was found sitting in his chair, dead, the next morning. To say all that might be said of this patriotic citizen and truly christian gentleman would exceed the limits of this notice. Suffice it to say that he grew up a moral young man. His parents and relations being Presbyterians, he was baptized in infancy at Little Mountain church by the Rev. Dr. Barr. But having married into a Methodist family, he attended the camp meeting at Smyrna in July 1830 and there he was awakened. And in September following, he attended another camp meeting at Shiloh where he was converted and joined the M.E. church. His conversation having been clear and powerful, he never doubted it. Shortly after his conversion, he was appointed C.L. by the Rev. Joel Towsend, then P.C. on the circuit, which relation he sustained to the church up to the time of his death. He had also been Circuit and District Steward, having been an official member of the M.E. church for more than thirty years. There was no decline in his religious experience, but a continual growth in grace. As a citizen he was high tone, pure minded, generous hearted and patriotic; and in his death, the poor and soldiers' families have lost a true and tried friend.. As was aptly expressed by one who knew him well from infancy, "Brother Brownlee's loss is as severely felt in the church and community as Stonewall Jackson's is in the Army." In his death, his wife has lost an affectionate husband, his children a kind and tender parent, a large circle of friends and relatives a true friend, his servants, a kind master; the poor one of their most liberal benefactors, and the church at Shiloh, one of her main pillars. Let us all follow his example, that we may meet in heaven, where: " No parted friends, O'er mournful recollections have to weep, No bed of death enduring love attends, to watch the coming of an endless sleep". H.A.T. ------------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Equity Reuben Clinkscales vs. John F. Clinkscales, Wm. Clinkscales and others Bill for Partition Pursuant to the Order of the Court in this case, I will sell at Abbeville courthouse at public outcry, on Sale day in August next, the real estate of Dr. Frank Clinkscales, near Due West, in 4 separate tracts of which Plats will be exhibited on the day of sale. Wm. H. Parker, C.E.A.D, Commissioner's Office, July 6, 1863 ---------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA Executive Department, Columbia, S.C. July 2, 1863 Whereas, information has been received by this department that William T. Moss, who was in jail at Richland district under sentence of death for the murder of James Phillips, did on the night of the 27th of June, make his escape from the said jail. Now therefore, I, Milledge L. Bonham, Governor of the State of South Carolina, do hereby offer a reward of One Thousand Dollars, for the apprehension of the said William T. Moss, and his delivery into any jail in this State. Said William T. Moss is about 28 years old, 5 feet 10 inches high, weight about 140 lbs; dark hair, wears a moustache and is rather good looking. He is from Wake county, North Carolina. This second day of July, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three. M.L. Bonham ---------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, Charles Evans has applied for Letters of Administration on the goods, chattels, rights and credits of Jno. Campbell, late of the district aforesaid; this is therefore to cite all kindred and creditors of the said deceased to appear at the next Ordinary's Court, to be held at Abbeville courthouse on the 26th of June next, to show cause, if any, why the said administration should not be granted. This 10th day of June, 1863. William Hill, O.A.D. ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, JULY 17, 1863 CAPTAINS LANGDON CHEVES; CHARLES T. HASKELL Jr., WILLIAM T. HASKELL Newspapers received here last Saturday brought the sad intelligence that in the battle on Morris' Island, Friday, the 19th instant, Captain Langdon Cheves and Captain Charles T. Haskell Jr. were killed, and a telegrapic dispatch by the same mail announced that Capt. Willis T. Haskell met the same fate in the battle of Gettysburg, Pa. on Friday the 3rd. The three thus added to the long estalogue of the slain within Abbeville, especially deplored; they were close to each other in the relation of uncle and nephews; one in the vigor of maturity and the others in the prime of youthful manhood. These men were all of the stuff of which heroes are made; they all did the duties of life with earnestness and zeal; all died the death of martyrs in a cause to which they had devoted themselves without stint, and of each of them it is no exaggeration to say the anxious inquiry has gone forth, as who can fill his place. LANGDON CHEVES was at his death, the eldest of the late Judge Cheves, and possessed in a large degree the strong intellect, iron will and Roman virtues of his distinguished father. He was a graduate of S.C. College; practiced law at Columbia; was State Reporter in 1839 and retired from the bar to the active superitendence of a large estate.. He was selected a delegate from St. Peter's Parish to the late State Convention. He was an active member of that body, doing his duty there, as he did wherever he undertook service, with all his might. His remarks in debate were always profound and distinguished for practical good sense. Immediately after the adjournment of that Convention, which followed next after our capture of Fort Sumter, he entered upon military service, first in a company of Dragoons raised in the neighborhood of his plantation; after the disbandment of that company, as an aid to Gen. Drayton and afterwards as an Engineer in Charleston, Harbor. With untiring exertions and mainly with his own plantation forces, he erected a battery at Red Bluff and made obstructions in creeks and cuts on the north side of the Savannah River, below the city of Savannah. His talent for engineering and construction he further exercised in the summer of 1861; by building the beautiful works at Hilton Head; and there he plainly exhibited to his neighbors the sufficiency of a self determined spirit, to resist malaria, to despise ease and comfort and to disregard fatigue and privation. He repaired from this scene to Morris Island and there without intermission, he worked, as only an earnest man, blessed with a hardy constitution, until his life was lost in that dreadful trial to which the strength of his works was subjected. WIthout seeking distinction, without thought of rank or emolument, away from his family, unmindful of his private interest, he gave his whole soul to the defense of Charleston. By the degree of an inscrutable Providence, he fell by the first bomb which burst in battery that he was assisting to defend. In his memory, Abbeville takes special interest, because here his illustrious father was born; here his sisters were all settled and one of them now resides, and here his wife and children have found refuge in the house of their kinsman, our neighbor, Charles T. Haskell Senior. -------- CHARLES T. HASKELL, Junior, passed with honor through the State Military Academies and for some years applied the unusual attainments which he had there made, to the business of civil engineering. He was appointed a Lieutenant in the Regular Infantry Regiment, raise by the state, soon after the Act of Secession. He was prominently active and successful in enlisting soldiers and soon, by regular promotion, became a Captain. This regiment being detained on Sullivan's Island to do duty as Artillerists, he for two years and more, held a detached command at Thompson's Point of the Rifles; repulsed the British forces which attempted to land to assist the naval attack on Fort Sullivan. There as engineer and superintendent, he erected battery Marshall and the smaller batteries between that and Fort Beauregard. His bold spirit, ever restless in inactivity, urged him with the most self sacrificing devotion, to explore the Islands, creeks and inlets between Sullivan's Island and Santee, to allow the enemy no quiet foot-hold there to aid vessels running the blockade and save from the enemy those that were stranded. No man in the Harbor was more active or more useful; hardy, unselfish, honorable and brave than he. He was beloved by his brother officers and idolized by his men. For his daring and skill he was selected to aid in a reconoisance of Polly Island, just before the late demonstration from that quarter and in discharging this duty, he made important discoveries and was upon Morris Island when it was manifest that the attack was pending. He remained in aid to the defense and having been placed in command of a detachment composed of his own company, he fell at their head, gallantly struggling to repel the assault upon the battery at the lower end of the Island. Conspicuous by his size and bearing, he was pierced by nine balls and spent his last breath in giving his Lieutenant a message which has been transmitted to his family. "Tell my mother that I died, fighting for my country." It is understood that his body fell into the hands of the enemy and has not been recovered. --------- WILLIAM HASKELL obtained his education at the Virginia University and was prosecuting the study of the law, when the War broke out. He joined the company raised by Captain, afterwards Col. Perrin, and not expecting to pursue a military life, nor anticipating the length of the bitterness of the strife, he sought no commission, but with exemplary alacrity did the duty of a private in Col. Gregg's Regiment, first in Perrin's Company near Charleston and afterward in Miller's Company in Virginia. When that Regiment was disbanded, after the expiration of its term of service, he was at the specific derive of Col. Gregg, appointed Captain, and having raised a company, he joined the Regiment again, upon its re-organization. He passed through the battles of Richmond, 2nd Manassas, Ox Hill, Sharpsburg, Botteler's Ford, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville without receiving a scratch, although his cap and clothes were frequently cut with bullets. After he entered into sevice he never lost a day from sickness, or any other cause, and never asked for furlough, although once he was at home for a few days when ordered back upon duty. In battle, as in all his speech and conduct, he was cool and deliberate, but so unflinchingly firm that more than once, he held his company under fire when others retired. Two sets of noble Lieutenants had fallen by his side, and his company had been reduced to a handful, and in preparation for the movement into Pennsylvania, he was placed at the head of the Battallion of Sharpshooters of his Brigade. Of the particulars of his last battle, we know nothing, but we doubt not that as in preceeding ones, he exhibited the high qualities which characterized him. No officer was more kind, and just to his men; no one enjoyed in higher degree their affectionate attachment and ready obedience. He was indeed the model of a soldier. To the parents, who have yet four other sons in Lee's Army, it must be consolitory to remember that the two who are gone, lived as becomes the early professions of piety, which they made. Their fine persons, courteous manners and kind hearts won favor. Their propriety of conduct, purity and noble sentiments showed them worthy of the high distinction which seemed to await them. ---------- IN MEMORIAM Killed at the battle of Chancellorsville, ?? the 3rd, 1863; JOHN T. MARTIN, aged 19 years, six months and 27 days. He was one among the first to volunteer and leave his home and go in defense of his country. He was in several battles and came through safe. He had the pleasure of visiting his home on a sick furlough and after spending three months with his friends, he again returned to camp and in six short weeks was called to another great battle, where this noble martry fell. South Carolina has lost another brave son, but like many others, he died at his post. He was a devoted son and affectionate brother and a steadfast friend, and was beloved by all who knew him. He leaves a father and mother, three brothers and four sisters and many friends to mourn his untimely death. May our loss be his eternal gain. " Dearest brother, thou hast left us, Here the loss we deeply feel, But tis God that hath bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled, Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed.

After a short illness he died in one of the hospitals in Chattanooga, Tennessee of fever, on the 8th of July, 1863, aged about 20 years. He sacrificed his life for his country. ------- Died, on the 12th of June, 1863, in the 28th year of his age, Corporal James T.

SIMKINS and CAPT. WM. T. TATOM The following we clip from the columns of the "Charleston Mercury": LIEUTENANT COLONEL JOHN C. SIMKINS John C. Simkins was a native of Edgefield court house district, and aged about thirty-five years. Before he had reached his twenty-first year, he volunteeered as a Private in one of the new regiment of the United States Regulars, which was formed at the breaking out of the war with Mexico. He afterwards received the appointment of Captain in the Army and served through the whole war. He then devoted himself to planting. Upon the withdrawal of South Carolina from the Union, he was one of the very first to come forward in defense of the principles which, as an earnest seccessionist, he had always upheld. He was soon commissioned Captain in the 1st Regiment, South Carolina Infantry, and has ever since served with efficiency and zeal in the same command, rising by regular promotion to the grade of Lieutenant-Colonel. He died, as a brave officer would have chosen to die, in the thickest of the fight, encouraging his men in the conflict, and in the arms of victory. Colonel Simkins was of a modest but sterling character and won the esteem and regard of every one with whom he came in contact. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his fall. ----------- CAPTAIN WM. T. TATOM Manfully repelling the onset of the foe and animating his brave artilleries by voice and example, fell Captain William T. Tatom of the 1st S.C. Infantry, Regulars. Captain Tatom was born in Abbeville district. He received his military education at one of the military schools of Georgia at Marietta, we believe. With thousands of other good and true men, he sprang toaction at the first outbreak of the war, and at the formation of the 1st Regiment, S.C. Infantry, he received his appointment as 1st Lieutenant. He afterwards was appointed to Captaincy. Capt. Tatom's company was ordered to Battery Wagner. Nobly has it sustained the reputation of the regular service, and avenged the loss of the gallant commander. Tho those who are more familiar than ourselves with the traits and career of the deceased, we leave the task of a more extended notice. ---------- FROM OUR JUNIOR CORRESPONDENT, 10th & 19th Reg't, S.C.Vols., July 21, 1863 Mr. Peter Rickets of Capt.
