He too has been 'bi-eught lidmie and his-'remainus lie before us. We have assembled to-day, Fellow Cit. i2ens,-'to pay'(heliast utelan'choly tribute of lespect sod gonor to the reumains of ' the -brave and gallant younig soldi-er and' hero, William Bnsler .Blocker. -FHe r-ell at his -post nobly discharging his duty as a sol' -di'r. 'His deeds were deeds were deeds oif valor, and cannot fail to secure him an honorable place in the brightest pages of Carolina's history. We have -all known '1im from hisa cradle upward, and therefore it is tennecessary for me on this occasion, .to dwell with atny minuteness upon the events of his early youth. lie w4as 'born 'on the 4th of March, 1824, andi was edu cated principally in this commnrcity. In the quiet and peaceful avocations of his 1'ther's family there was little room for the exercise di' Ihose qualities of mind and those traits of character, by whbichi he af terwards became dissinguisned. We little thought when we kosiw 'him an active, uprightly boy, that' he was deutitned soon to become a hero, by his brave and gal lant conduct displayed on the 'battle-field, and to be the object or admiration and praise from generals in command of vie torious army. General Q'uitman, under whose eye he fought at Chapuheopec, and stehe-Griyrsv of bim. **I. not only knew him by sight, but I knew him per- I sonally. I was struck with his martil | and gallant hearing, anit offered him an appointment to advance him in rank, and -to relieve him from the fatigues that he had to undergo." To this generous offer of General, he replied. "I thairk you 4ir, but it is my determinaii'on to share all the hardshils, perils and dangers of my owvn company, and if I fall, to t'e found under the folds of my own banner," It is also sai'd. that on the morning of the 13th of Septemher, before the storniing of Chapultepec, General Quitthan 'had se cured hitht an appointment in his staff, wnd that Blocker declined taking it, say ing that "he preferred leading his med." He madifested. however, at an early age a quick and ready apprehension, and was cheracteris'd by a boldness and indepen dence of character vety unnsual in one of his age, but whielt was happily tempered on all occasions by an affeitionale and du tiful regard'tbr the authority of his parents. And here it is bit prh'br thet I should state, that even in the carii,'ih the ene my's country, surrounded by tneh "id ob jects that were calculated.n Withdraw his affections from home, and to blitt 'the finer feelings -nd emotions of the .beart, he often sfpke of his parents. Flis'Bible, the gift of his dear mother bh h'is ledvihg ho:re, fie always c'rried in his bnfbm, then he was not readieg it. And when he was shot down within the gate of the city of Mexico, he took his 'hible from his bosom, and handin'g'it to the friend on whom he was leaning for support, said *-Give this to my dear father, and1 tell him I fell while leading our corhpany, the Old '96 Boys irn the charge." Lieutenant Ab ney, in i letter to Maj. B. M. Blocker. says. -"Having been in'severely whunded myself, at the battle af Churubbseo, as to lose the use of my left arm, and for a long time confined to my bed, and Lieutenant Moragne haxing been utterly prostrat'ed by disease frorri the exposure he had un dergone in the command ofLhe company, the command of the company devolvedi upon your son.

And thit he was even while un der the greatest eseitenierit. actuated by feliogi and emotions wfiicfi elevate and enoble the character of man.. The brave are always aff'ectionate and kind, and generous and noble hearted-and such was iegeant Blocker. The requisition b , ie WarDepartmet in 146, ot South Carolina, for a Regi ment of Volunteers, to serve in Mexico, for twelve months, and the appeal to the cliiv aIry of old Edgefield, to furnish a Com pany of that-Regiment, opened at once a field for the distlay of those qualimes. which characterize the patriotic, and the brave. - And when the banner was tn fdried in Edgefield, for the purpose of raising a Company of Voltstteers, trijany of the most respiectable yotdng metn of the District, laying all other considerations asile; edrolled themselves ,at once as Vol unteers, and among the first of those gal lant young men, was Win. Blocker. And when there was more diticulty' in fPising a Company in Edgefield, thatn -vas at firat expected, who was tmore active in endeav' oring to fil out the company than William 'BIucker ? We all know that h'e and Whlitfield Brooks. rode severall days o'ver the District, endeavoring to persuade the ..young men of the country to volunteer, anod itl this way, they at length succeeded in filling out the Com.pahy. But before they were mustered into service, the re quisition of the general Government was3 changed; and instead of Volinteers to serve only twelve tmonths, a Regiment to serve during the w ar, was required. When this chan'ge of the terms was made known, many, who had already volunteered for twelve months, wvithdrew their names from the company, and it was for some time doubtful whether old Edge~eld would nafve the ho:nor of being represented in Mexico; by a company composed of her own sons. During all this period Blocker, and seve ral others thset I might name, reinainedl frm and stmeadfast, and did all in their power to entconrage the desponding, andi to induce others who had not yet volun teered 'to put their names down on the roll. By the strenuous exertions of a few energetic young men, the company was aain filled up anti organized. Blocker had displayed such energy and firmness tif character, during this period of doubt and ncertainty, as to) the raising of a Comph ny in Edgelield, as to place him itn a new light before the commuutity. Hisi friends had already begetn to anticipate his brilliant career, should he have an opportunity to show himself in battle, and tmany were the, predictions of his future valor, which he so .minaartl veied at Coutreras, at Cho rubusco. -t Chapultepec and at the Ga bf ibe City. About the first or Januar 1847, the Palmetto Regiment, was orderi to the seat of War. They assisted ih t, siege and capture of Vera Cruz 81 afier the taking of -Vera Cruz and the Cal ture of the 'stron r'fortriss or San.-Ju de Ulloa, the Palmetto Regiment hI no opportuiuity.or being in any engagi ment, 'ill the W0th of August, when It bloody battles of Conirera's and liuriubu c-- were'ouighi. At Cuntreras. the Pa metto Regiment, was brought fairly-int action, and had an opportunity for the fir time of racing the enemy. in.actual cotr bat. Lad on by the n'oble and heroic Co Butler, they showed such courage and br. vety. as to strike terrot into the enemi and they conquered wherever they 1'urie their races; and on the same day in th still blodier conflict at Churuhusco, wher the Palmetto Regiment was made th basis or General Shields' operations, th Palmettoes'rought with a spirit and cowt age that not only astonished the enemny but the whole American Army. flere i was that Col. Builer, and Adams -phl Brooks fell. Here it was that the Pal metto Regiment established its reputation and has been called the fighting Regimen evur since. In both these engagemena Sergt. Blocker fought bravely, and at-ni time did he manifest any siags of fear a misgiving. Lieut. Morane, led the "l '96 Boys" at Chiiruzbusen, add at on ime during the fighti, Blocker, who bal 'ought by his side all the timne, 'stopt ti rime his musket.
