The death Of this gallant South Caolnian, the representa-


tive on the bloody field Of Churubusco Of noble Of
heroes any country has Produced will create profound
and extended sorrow in this country He has been for long


time conspicuous and prominent citizen of South Carolina
and noted for his great resolution and ndomtabe
rage He possessed military qualities Of the highest order
and promise Of great and distinction in
which, alas terminated at its very commencement. Col
BUTLER had been very i'll for days previous the bat
te but when he heard that the Palmetto flag going into
the fight unaccompaned by him to whose special charge il
had been committed, he broke loose from his physicians
abandoned his sick couch, and weak, ghasy and almost
nnng mounted his charger and placed himself the head
Of his regiment. With such example, far less ardent
and gallant than the South Caronans would prompt
ed deeds Of supcrhuman daring But there no such
incitemen necessary impc the of the Harry Hot
spur Of the Unon Prentss styled the gallant Pal.
