[weep, I weep, for my gallant ones, For my brave, and daring noble sons, My bosom bleeds from every pore For the cherished warriors now no more. My hulls are still, and with sables hung, And my sweet toned harps are all unstrung. Thro' busy mart and lonely cells The wail of my sons and daughters swell. I weep for my Shubric, he was gone Ere the boasted fortress had been won But quivering on his dying lip Were a brave man's words. Oh ! I weep. I weep.

Oh lie was brave. for tho' faint and weak, With ile dauntless courage noie may speak. ie nerved himself again for the strife And the boon, was the valiant soldiers life.

I weep for ye all my noble sons, My brave, my dauntless, cherished. ones, And many a moon, shall wax and wane Ere your mourning country smiles again. Why was it not that each strained eye Should see the proud Castilians Bly, Or niark the wily renegade Catght in the snare his treachery laid?

ROSE COTTAGE, Sept. 17th, 1847. From thel Charleston Mercury. TH E LATE COL. BUTLER. A friend has furnished us with a copy of the following interesting correspon dence, with permission to place it before the poblic. It will be read, we are sure, with deep emotion, and does honor both to the living and the dead : BUENA VISTA, PINE MOUNTAIN. Meriwether Co., Ga., Sept. 16, '47, Ay Dear Butler:- know no death at all comparable to that of a soldier in the field, fallen in the service of his country. Your gallant brother has met this-fate. An.ong the friends who lovedl him, and whom I knowv had his esteem, I come to offer you my sympathy, and to min, Ele my sorrowvs wvith your own, if thte glorious- termination of his career did not almost fot bid their indulgence. You ktow full well whilst I was Go vernor cf South Carolina, at a most try. ing crisis lie was my first and senior Aid de-camp, When I had to look on what many persons-supposed a troubled sky, it was something to have near tme a man of his hereditary courage and tried nerve.-If therefore any one knew hinm well, I did. The brilliant flash of glory in which the taper of his life has been extinguished, has not therefore surprised me. When I was in New Orleans last spring, and heard of the embarkation of the Rcgimenit for Vera Cruz, 1 said to a friend, if Butler and these lads get l airly engaged with the enemy against whatever odds, they will make their mark, and if needl be, leave half their number in killed and wvounded on the field. WVhat Was prophecy has ripened into fact. I know the stuffithe~y were made of. This time last year your brother and myself met in Washington. Ho wvas stretchted on a sick bed. In the confidence of friendship, the fervor of which had nevet been interrupt ed for one instant, Ito infortmed me that as soon as he wvas stufliciently recovered he was to meet in mortal combat, Colonel Mason of the United States Army, in consequence of a quarrel of some standing, which had been greatly aggravated perhaps by mutual miscon c.ptn,;. n namke my friendly coun sels in the progress of the unhappy 1 affair. I need not speak his conposure i to you, but I w ill speak of his sensibility; I of the tenderness of his noble nature i when he spoke of meeting (on terms which scarcely permitted the hope of I the escape of either party,) a man with I a family as numerous and dependant I apon hini as his own. From policy, I rather seemed to enter into his feelings is an antagonist, and so prepare him for the deadly strife. Without say.ing one word to him, hon. ever, I left Washington the next morn ing, and proceeded to Virginia to see Col. McCarthy, the friend of Col. Ma ;on; On reaching Alexandria I heard that Col. McCarthy was not at his re idence in Loudoun. On my return o Carolina I wrote him, an.] proposed in armistice and reference. It was met )y the brave mah with a benevolence ind chivalry worthy of his exalted cour ige. Col. Mason's departure hefure rour brother's recovery, for California, inder orders which precluded a mo, -nent's delay, suspended our works of :onciliation. Your brother knew no hing of my pacific interposition nntil Col. Mason's departure. His life was I >reserved for a noble destiny. lie per shed where he would have liked to have lied best. Before embai king for Vera Crnz he wroto me, entre'ting nie to a pI ily for an appointment as general officer n the army of the United States ; and is the most powerful inducement lie I :ould offer, lie informed me; that lieand t bis command would rather serve under ite than any man in the United States. [state this fact at the hazard of having mputed to me a ridiculous, if not a cen murahle, self-love. But those, my dear Dmler, who know >ur countrymen, will only recognise in t the fibres which unite one South Car- I alinian to another. As little deserved is the compliment may be, why should I not cherish it next to my own heart, t least, for secret pride and solitary njoyment.-In the burning interest of he progress ofevents in Mexico, I found it impossible to resist the invocation. .I endered my services to tliaPresidentin .1 i post not inconsislent with ihe rahk I iadjieldin my own State;-he pref r e iope Iam the last in the wor to take mxception to a preference which the sub eqient distinction of this gentlemon has mirely jirstifred. If I had been appointed, however, I hink I hatird not much in saying that m Palneito standard, which have been paled its fires" on any field, would inve lYnen borne aloft wherevei my :minand may have been. If I could 1ot have restrained the impetuosity of :he daring valor ofyour gallant brother, nd our brave South Carolinians, I should a-t east have claimed the ielan choly privilege that lie should have died in no other arms but my own. My dear Butler, arrest the current of your own grief. Let his widow and his children cease to shed a tear; there is but one transiion from the death-bed of a Christian soldier, who died for his ountry, to that realm where tears of are and sorrow are unknown. Believe me, in sympathy and esteem, vour devoted friend, 3. HA MILT ON. [Ion. A. P. Butler, Edgefield, S. C. S'roNEL ANr>, Edge neid, O ct. 2. My Dear Genecral :-For the last ten days I have been absent from home on a visit to my friends in Greenville, and did not receive your expressive and ffectionate ltter till yesterday. You had the very qualties to inspire my bri other with the strong and enthusi astic feelings of attachment which tie ettertained for youi. There wvas no man on-earth (cer tainly, out of his own fam ily, no one) in wvhose friendship he had a higher confidence than in yours ; and upon real occasions of dilliculty ard-trial his reliance would have been on you. He knew very well that you were the man to assume all the hazard of respone si bility. My brother know nothing of yodi correspondence with Col. McCarthy, nor did I, until 1 received your letter. His difficutty with Cal, Mason was a source of painful anxiety to his frlends whio were made acquainted withi its par ticulars. HeI made tip his mind, and wvas pre pared for the worst, Poor feltow ! hie has, by an honorable sacrifice of his life, escaped what I shall always regard as a very gre--t misfortune; the necessity -or, possibly under some aspects, in the I extnuaition of some, the duty-of meet ing another in single combat, I ant gratified to hear of the manner in which Col. McCarthy received your suggestions, it does honor to his heart, und might possibly have led to an hon- < orable understanding, Gen. S'iields has behaved so wvell,and in his ofiil report has paid such a ouching triblute to the memory of my lear Brothoe, that I am proud he was inder liiimnediate command. I shall -steem tlie man and respect the General all my life. But if my Brother could mve hadhis choice, you would have yaen the-iha that he would have se. ected forfisuperior officer. In yotdihdtice of his death you have aken a hIiglironception of the subject. rt is difkiult however, for the heart of is family - to feel, as you do, under lie shock o first intelligence. Timesis t e medicine for tne wounded wart. Gd grant that it may bring wih it its'i.aling influence to the feel ngs of his bireaved and afflicted family. Witktruth and sincei i'y, I am your friend, A.

During the absence of the Committee he meetipg. was addressed by Dr. B. B. Strabel, who, in tho course of ii2 remarks, related many instances of he gallantry and high comiage which lad characterized thu conduct of Col. Butler, -whilst iniF'lorida, and which had :ome under his personal notice, clusing vith1 an earnest hope that the citizens of Charleston would evince the respect nd high estimation in which the'y held hei living, and the memory of the dead f the Palmetto Regiment. The Coinmittee a'ppointed to prepare enolutions havitng returned, repot ted, hrough its Chairman, Col. Isaac W. E-aynn the following preamble and res >lutionls, ho having- prefaced thorn with in eloquent and spirit stiring address: It is at all times the duty, and valued 1-ough humble privilege, of that portion f the comnmunity, who,amid the calanm ties of war, enjoy still the quiet of their tomes, to extend to those of their roun :rymen who bear the toils, privations, and perils of the conflict, assurances of :onfidence and sympathy. ,But when hety have gone out immediately fronm mtiong ourselves, to represent its in the attie field, .not only do their duty faith ully, but cover themselves with glorf, vhiich reflect back upon thoso who sent htem-whmen they earn faine, wvhich he, :omies their country's property, and a eritage in wvhich our children share, it vould be base ingratitude to withhold the need of our approbation, ahd ar hear tfeht xpression of' our glowing admiration. sch, we conceive, has been the can luct of the Palnetto Regiment in the ate battles in Mexico. That a body of :onparatively raw~ recruits, soldiei s of siht months, shoulid. in this first battle, have had half their number stricken down in the field, and with their chief killed, and their second in command disabled, early in the action, have con tinued without a. moment's faltering, without an instant's confusion; fighting on to the close with unbroken front and tinabated ardor, is an achievement which stands in honorable parallel with any incident in the annals of n'ncieni or mod ern warfare. Therefore, I. Resolved, That as citizens of South Carolina we are profdrindig grate, ful to those gallant representatives of our State, who on the fields of Contre ras and Churubusco, havo not only sus tained her old renown, but added a page to her history bright as any which re cords tile past. 2.~Resolved, That, to the survivors of those bloody fields a-o due such hon ors as belong to approved iatrioti:.m and attested valor, and with these we are prepared to welcome their return. To the ilIstrious dead, our tribure is a profound appreciation of the rich legaicy of their farne. 3. Resolved, That; in the marked and singular heroism of his bearing, Col. onel Butler proved himself the worthy leader of a gallant and noblo band,which is is no arrogance to sw, shone "bravest where all were brave." His death has further consecrated a name already hon orably identified with tho history of our State, 4. Resolved, That we mourn witi the afflicted family of the fallen hero, and that the Chairman of this meeting be requested to express to his bereaved widow and daughters our sympathy in their sorrow, and our grateful sense of the public services of the deceased. 5. Resrolned, That the families of all who have fallen in the late campaign are committed to their country's care, and that if this chaige be not sacredly ful filled, the fame of the dead will be a reproach to the living. 6. Resoloed, That the Chair appoint a Committee of five persons, to confer and cn-operate with Committees in other Districts of the Stitte; for the pur poso of taking such measures as will in su're tie fulfriment of this duty. coide eD A; U.- 1975grain;u Eqr, RV felicititons and impressive manner, and their adopticn 'rged in a earnest and glowing language by Messrs.
