and uncomplaining in tho discharge of
evo^uty, he was universally beloved by his comradolud
had bo lived would eerfnlidv linvo been
advi-d by his ollieers to a position of honor and

1 Iw|s stricken down by a congestive chill, a <v

alUii- he had the best medical skill, and kindest
attoli i, and careful nursing, lie was conscious but
for iv ry short interval, und only o cnsionally was
bo aili to recognize even his brother and most intiinuli
1' nds. His death is severely felt iu the coinpain,
aid his family are indeed sadly bereaved, but
wo torav not as those without hope: he had been a
soldier >f the Gross for some time, and wo have the
I dentin hope that our loss is his eternal gain.

He enlisted in the Kershaw Guards on the 2Gth OjSeptember,
and was at his post of duty at the Gamp o
instruction, IJghtwood Knot Springs, when attacked
with measles, which raged iu tho camp, lie wus removod
to tho hospital, and thoro received every attention
which medical skill and kindness could suggest
; but it pleased God to removo him, aud it is not
ours to question, but obey.
lie appeared to bo kiud aud social in his disDosi
lion, and would, no doubt, had lie been spared, proved
a worthy and gallant son of South Carolina. Ho was
a nativo of Sumter District, and his remains woro
carried to his homo and entombed by the hands of
those who knew and loved him best.
TIRA. KEMP was among tlio very first to volunteer
in tho Kershaw Guards. Ho was attacked with
measles in camp, and removed subsequently to tho
Fair Grounds, iu Columbia, where ho received every
possible attention, and the kindest nursing, and died
October 10th, 18(51. Ho was an obedient and willing
soldier, and had ho been spared would no doubt have
done his whole duty. To tho very excellent Chaplain
ot tho hospital, Ilov. J. Monroe Anderson*, ho
cxprcsssd his willingness to die, and a hope in Jesus;
let us humbly trust that, now life's fitful dream is
o'er, that ho sleeps well.
Sacred to tho memory of JOHN TEAM, who
departed this life during tho month of September, at
Lynchburg, Va., aged 18 years, of Typhoid Fever?a
disease which has swept away thousands in its ruthless
sway, and caused tho army to mourn tho loss of
so many gallant spirits.
Tho subject of our sketch?a member of tho Camdon
Volunteers, Capt. Kennedy?was ono who well
united in his person tho characteristics, both of the
virtuous youth and earnest soldier. Ever ready to discharge
tho most arduous duties of a camp life, ho was
equally so on the field of battle. Through tho action
of Manassas Plains, when death was wafted in every
breeze, he conducted himself with a coolness and
daring worthy of a veteran soldier. Put wo mourn to
record the melancholy truth, ho was reserved at last
to fall a victim to a loathsome disease. Thus it would
seem, that wo might well question the decrees of Providence,
when it is remembered that ono so young,
full of hope and promise, after escaping tho dangers
of a terrible field of carnage, should bo called upon
to lay down his lilo as he thus lost it; but daro wo
not to question the Giver of all good! For in this
melancholy instance, have wo not found that it was
fc.mi iu uiv.-; iui our young menu, nrougut lo reiiect
upon tlio uncertainties of life, gave his soul a willing
offering to his God, and breathed out his life with tlio
happy consciousness of an immortality beyond the
grave; leaving to his afllictod parents, who wero with
him in his last illness, the happy assurahee, that with
him all was well.
Yet why should death be linked with fear?
A single breath ?a low drawn sigh?
Can break the ties that bind ns here,
And waft the spirit to the sky.
To the memory of JOI1N TK.AM. aged 10, W. AW
TURN Kit, aged 18, and LKWJS M. VAUGJtAN,
aged 21, members of tlio Camden Volunteers, Capt.
Kkxnkuy's Company, Second Regiment South Carolina
Volunteers, who died at Lyucliburg, Ya.
As their names appear on the 1st, 2d and .'id, September,
18(11, from disease contracted in dis< large of |
their duty. Among tlie lirst to answer to t:.o call of
their native State, those galiant youths wero present
when Fort Sumter was taken, and with thoii company,
among tlio foremost to tender their services lo go to ^
Virginia. They never faltered when ceded upon,
whether in the ordinary routine of camp life, tlio ar- ,
duous march, tlio exposure of picket ?uty, or tlio '
more hazardous encounter of the battlo Held. After J
participating iu the glorious victory of Manassas, it
pleased God to take them away from oved ones at
home. Mr. and Mis. Team arrived a f<;w days before (
their sou died. Mr. Vaughan also w'tnessed tlio closing
hours of his son. Tlio widowed mother had not
the opportunity of seeing her son in his last illness.
She has the consolation of knowing every comfort was
rendered him. Thus has tlio Di triet of Kershaw,
which gave them birth, and tlio State of South Carolina
whose honor was door to them, been ?
uujjuvuu 01 uiruu uouic, warm ?nu generous nearts, ,
and three households called to iiourn on account of
the relentless Northern Government, the guilt of
whose acts no time can ever e/ace?and tho knowledge
of which will tend still imro to norvo them that
remain to strike for truth, justice and tho rights which
tho Confederate States have proclaimed to tho world.
May these smitten hearts be ronsolod with tho thought
they did their duty* to their ountry. The testimony
of their officers is to them satisfactory. We can entcrtaiu
the hopo they have, through the merits of their i
Redeemer, go no where s'u and soraow are felt and
feared no moro. M.

ruthless hand of t Mith. ilow truly and forcibly does
