4 , OBITUAR "ST. . Cap! H- E- ELLIOTT was mortally woumlod -near Gaivos' Mill June .'Sd 18G1, and died June 5th. . Phis sad announcement brought sorrow to the hearts or his beloved family, and many admiring friends. No purer patriot or nobler gentleman has lallen in this .struggle. I desire to pay a feeble tributo to his worth as a man, his skill as a sddior, and his devoted tidOlity to his codntry andJauiily. An association of three years in the capacity of friend and lellow Soldier, amid the fatigues of camp, and the dangers of the field, qualities mo to speak. He was born in Jteaufort District -S. C.,. and was in the thirtieth your ol' his'age. Alter the usual academic and collegiate course he chose the profession of Mcdieiiio. devoted himself assiduously to its practice and was fast distinguishing himselt in it,. When the' angry cloud Qf political trouble burst, and* South Carolina called her sons to her defence,'he sprang to her aid with all the fervor of a brave heart true to the memory of those ancestors who had illustrated^ thd fame of his native state from the sacred desk, in the Cabinet, and on the tented tic Id. Thonoefortli' to him there dould bo no lioiue. 110 ease, no quiet until the independence "and nationality of his country were established. To achieve these objects he devoted his lilo and talents. In January 18G1 he joined the Palmetto Guard of Charleston, conmlainled by Capt. Cuthberl, mill .'It. mw-ii milon-il c.?i-i-ir?i? .?n llm iolniili mlin. I cent to that city, lie was at this time a private in that noble company whoso ranks now .shattered and thinned uttest their gallantry and devotion to the cause of liberty ; whose career is idcntilied with our history iron) Sumter to the present time: and whoso hallowed dead lie on the blood}- liclds of old. Virginia, lie ? passed successively from private to 1st Lieutenant, and, :it thp death of the cluvnlrio Cuthbert, succeeded to the command of Ins company. Although oltcn solicited to enter llio Medical Department, where his ability," . impartiality, and truthfulness would1 lan e insured him ?u high position, lie prelei'ved the sterner duties of the soldier, tlio responsibilities of the oflicer, and the storm of battle. So strict was he in adherence to this principle that, 011 being requested once by the commanding oflicer of his Regiment to act as assistant Surgeon, on the eve of an important engagement, lie respectfully but positvely declined, and received a severe wound in the conlliciwhicli followed. There are in every regifnent certain men who are regarded as its bravest.stamu-hest and best soldiers; men who from their character and ability give it tone and standing. Among such in the 2d llegt., Kershaw's Brigade," Elliott stood prominent and conspicuous No man could fail to respect him. lie had the implicit confidence of all his superiors, gnd subordinates, lie oteupied the extreme left of his Regiment, and lus uommaiidiug officers ever lelt that all was well there. Possessed of a good physical constitution, and cheerful mind lie endured privations mil w'itl'.nnt 11111 i*??*?i? ?!? *? VW..U 11 IVUVMU (UIM *JJ ilia II J M U UI patient endurance adorned alike the musket and the sword. A soldier alono ear. properly appreciate the meaning ol this compliment. As a soldier lie was en-* during, cheerful and prompt: as an ollicer, capable, strict, energetic: as a mall, candid, conscientous, and just. I lis uamc was the synonym of courage, and amid tho smoke of twenty bat tie-lit Ids his clarion voice cheered and comforted his men. Alas ! that ho should huyo fallen after having survived so many dangers and endured so many hardships. lie lbll with his face to the foe, and his heart lull tif that patriotic lire, which had sustained him amid all of his trials. I lis memory is a precious legacy to his family and friends, who li: vo strong hopes that their loss is his eternr.l gain. His family have lost a devoted member ; his friends h cherished coini pauion. and his country a brave*defender. And when Carolina writes the record ol her noble death and civets the monumental shall to commemorate ' their | deeds, the name of Kllioll will stand forth btiglit and beautiful* among those whom she has eotilrihuted to "the defence of'her rights and Institutions'.
