Forthc Adzvertiser. RE11ISCENCES OF TH E PAL.IMETTO f:EGI Mii.NT. LIEUT. DAVID ADAMIlS. No. xtt. Duce et decorum rst per patria mori. tiORBACE. In the call upon the country I' volun teers, Lieutenant Adams. Company D. Edgefield District, was aniting the very foremost to offer his services, and display cd great zeal in his efforts to raise the com. pany to which he was attached. Nor did his zeal abate in thetimse that lebspe. between the first and second requisition lie was at the time afflicted with rheumtatisin. & con seq'uently he was beset with the entreaties of friends and relatives to remain at homne but his ardent spirit of tadventure, urged on by a glow of wasrn. puttiotie feehin, led him to the scene of war in spite of ev ery opposing obstacle. Ile was ebosen first sergeant of Iris comtpany. in which ca pacity he acted until about the 1-t of July 1847. w hen lie was elected 2 1 lieutenanti to fi'l a vacancy. The first post was too limited in its sphere or his military ac comnplishrnents : the second, was not suf ficiently large to call into proper ex.ercise all the manly qualities of mind and heart with vhich he was entled. But he filled alike the one and the other with great hon or to himself and to his country. As first sergeant he was held up as a molel to the regineut. As lieutenant he had no supe rior. He would have been inferior to none as Captain. Intelligent, high rit:ed, and brave as bravery casn be defined to be, lie " could not have failed to acquire distinction whenever occasion oflered. in what station soever he may have been placed. But his bravery, remarkable as it truly was, did not constitute his only virtue. We never saw a man actuated by s) high a sense of duty, with such strict and lofty sentiments of honor and prohity. He was tost strictly to be relied on in all his deal ings with mven, and in all emergencies that try men's sois. A promise was wit hinm n pledge-- bond uut to be frivously bro ken. In consonance with these noble im pulses, he was the bold defender of his own character, ai a staunch advocate fir the rights and privileges of others. lie wilful ly wronged no one himself, and noukd its sul'er others wattonly to wrong hint nor tbose for whssom he had feelisgs of close friendship But until an insult was of'er ed, or injustice done, Lieut. .Adams was silent and unneddliug. lie made no boast of his courage-no threats of his iaten tions. No one would suspect his lion cot, rage, nor his strong good sense, until cir cumstances called them forth-ho uupre tending he was, so free from all spirit of boast or display. When the emer, ency arose, howtever, he was always ready for it. And his capacity always enlarged it self as the occasion equired. We, never .saw hti' ced is it stadiusn, that ie did " depetence.. dlear in' . ta b t tU., sonor, because indeed they were almost the isnstinictive sentiments oif his stature. isnd highly discrimriniating~ in his judgmnent, lie always touk thsings iu shseir due cottrse. asnd seldom acted out of season. Nt eve ry petty considerattiona slirsed up is no tore.

Against the longing - asp~irasions after distinsctiot, so often ex pressed in hsis hiearissg, by thsse arou'ud him, hie mtade a dlecided opposisiont. lie rebuked itt beco'sniug language the zeasl mansifested by matny of his yotung frietnds to be eugaged in battle. Such a desire he exclaimed is blamseasble, and unb~comiing a true soldier. It is a soldier's duty to light whten necessary ; but to lontg foir hst' the with a viewv of diatinction,. or to grattify somec vain propensity oh out' nature is wvrong : it is sinfuld. if we meet thte ene Iny' in hattle, I hope ta tbe absle 5 o dat tmy duty; but, I contfess I have no desire to - get into battle?

A new fi,-ld had beent opesned fair she exerc:se oh the asctive facuitios of his nature, ini which he adaehght-. edl to occupy imsself. Under its contge nial iniluesnce, a new ambition was s'irredl upj within himn, which increased notS . little his zeal attd energy. lie strove thr sstpe riori y. uad ihe atoneaa'd it, with an elasrt thus did tnot tax s' rontgly t he ipowers of is nat'are, for' it wuas the reaidy result of a cain, stitutional excellece oif mtind, happily hsr b med fur reflectiaon and fur acaiait.

On the field of btattle Isis cottduct was itn the highest degree comsendabile; for it exhibited ntot only arent caolness, lint was thte effect of a high sense otf alasty. lie was prompted by nrothirstoaf vain glory. HeI made no useless proffers of' fpersoall entrer prise for the sake of tnere distincetion. lust in the road that duty calledi, lie was af ways ready and prompt, arid snonse couldl outsrip) him. No mtain ever livead, wh'lo could meet daonr with mtoare resolutions and coolness, valoarsitt deeds wsere, wiiths hisn, noat the result of hieaited ethusiamt, or iatpetuous feeling; but of she cool ito pulses ol' a stout heart-of a soul that -could looak danger in she face, and 8ap proach it sinigly and alone :-sthat could carry himt up to the cannon's mouths. anda the sword. It would be impossible to conceive of nobler dnring than he evinced on the battle fields of Contreras and Ch ur ubusco. In the latter engagement his con duct was beyond all praise. Though a commissioned officer and entitled to a com mand. he generously yielded this right, in order to become the standard bearer of his company. Those, inexperienced in matters of warfare, cannot perhaps, fully appreciate the sacrifice lie hereby made. It was not so inuch the command tie had yielded, as the new and ex:raordinary dan ger in which he had placed himself, that made his situation peculiar. All know that a stanlarl--bearer is more exposed ili bat tIe, thanm perhaps any other person engag ell. lie is a target for the enemy, ant around him men always fall thickest and Smost rapidly. But this did riot daunt the bold heart of Adams. le resolutely grasp ed the beautiful banner of his company, and unfurled it to the breeze. Il thut iasi dreadful advance of the regiment, in which si many men disappeared fhom the ranks, he might have been seen on the right of his company. in full uniftormn, cool, erect, anid with ;in eye fixed steadily on' some object ahead, selected as a poiat of iiric tion. There was no agitatin about him. Every nerve was steady, and every limb composed. his voice wsas firm, and his words, tew in number, were uttered nith calmness and composure. Ihis eyes only declared the bobd determinauioti of his mind. They were steady, but they evinc ed a glow of resolution, which showed that the heart within was on fire. In this state of majestic coolness lie advanced slowly and deliberately. The h.lls. in tremendous fury, whistled over his head and around hip body. They smote the hanner he hire in his hand., and mowed down the gallant youths that marched at his side-hut he firmly advanced, until struck by one himself, he fell to the grounid. We never witnessed nor read of more de liberate courage. It waq all heroic. It was all bravery. it was worthy of the best days of lil Rome. It was indeed genuine old Ronii intrepidity. It was the brave ry of Julius Canar himself. We intend this as no unmneaning coimplitent. 11is characteristic spirit of patriotisrn still glow ed in his bosom, when tife itself was about to depart. In the moment of death, he experienced what tie had so often felt in the bloom of health-a strong love of country. lie fully realized the clurious sentimeut of the L-atin Pit-" it is swcet and glorious to die for one's country!" Af ter falling, ie breathed these words and expired-- TeIl my fa ther. 1 died fig/diring for my country." MA R LBOR OUUU 1. For the Advertiser. TO OUR CANDIDATES. For many years, the Bank of the State has been our pride and buass. When th. er similqg institutions have suspended, it has maintained high credit, both at home and abrai. The President of this insti tution, and the Comptroller General have made annual exhibits and reports of its condition-its operations and success. These reports heretofore, have met, on the part of the people;their-warmest apu provalatd ae/iiesenee. Asumihg these reports of the President antd itvestiguii.I iommjintees to be true, our Buntks should nut faille meet the fusterinig care and sup piort of tia')eople generally. But to ! a voice of warniing wvas heard itn Gov. Ha ummiond's message, whtich if trite, should aroiuse the suspiciiin and~ ini digration of every htonest hearted and pat: riotic citizent. IlThis message makes a di rect and imnportutnt issue, with ailt the an terior rep~ons concertning our ljank. We had all along becen toll that the Ba'nk was in a healthy state-was successful in its iperautions, anid out of its profits was pay ingr large sums of our public debt. We ihpe the friends of these repourts of the Batik, will take til some meatts-somne proceess of argumettioin or of reusnuinig, hat wre simptle mtindeid people cant com-r prehend arid appreciate. to showi us that these reports and Bank exhibits are hiotest andI true, arid that our Batik is accomplish. ing all the ends for which ii wvas institu ted Unless this be dine, we hope somec of our candidates who affeict so tmuch inide pende nc, will alliow us iio thitik that the mnessatge of Gov. I lammuond is not only tin aulhentic andh able document, but an swerable.hbecause unansweremt. Nut onily so, we shall exercise inidependlence enough to give faiith to the startl ing develotements of that able essay called "Anti Debtl," written by the same patroiic and dlistiu gnished aumtor. Wo are no enemies to our llaink. right or wrong. We haive tnt askedl the candi dazes to commit themiselves, either lior ur again~t the Blank, We have sitmpjly tde moanded of theni to saty whether they are wvillinti, casting aside the reports of I tesi dlents and dir-ctoirs, wh iich we tire iibl. hav e cheated andi del udedt us, itl pulish aind retprt tol their cainsit iuenia, its liaiili ies atid its creditors, and the lhabilities of ihiese litter, without fear or /arir. tn this wa:. n e ciii arrive at the l,icis.

IBot how con we paua joIimenit unless you bhrie:: lie coiiditnon of this~ Bank befotre us' And hiov cati you inforim us of its reail condition unless by a pubilication to the extent und after the'mainer suggestedI I We know this course is painflut to you.

T[here is daitgeir of being crushed by the jaws oIf the mtammtothi power. But if you feet yourself indisposedl or inade qlute to this task, uffer yourself til longer as ani agenit for tnis purpose. We canntot, we will not be taxed to support an aristoc racy. Neither wilt we be taxed to tend mnoneiy to irresponsible persons. These tings may not be. This is the questioni. The question of Batik or ito Blank is an ulterior one. At present we ask only for such a dlevelopemnent as will make ktnown its real conditioni. WVhyi should any cindidiate flinch and equivocate? We are nut ini faivior of thie doctrine of in strucotion. This would be8 takinig all iude pendcence and high consideration from an elected representative. But b-lore yout are elected--while a mere candidate, we huave a right to know your opinions upon all political matters, in order that we may conisider the proprie ty of leaving you at home, and choosing one w-ose on-a noinions correspond with 1 ours, and who m-y, with the approbation of his own conscience and good judgment, carry out and represent our measures. Shall a muan say then-we mean a candi date, merely-that he fears to become a mere machine. What need to fear ? Will he not be left and another chosen, if he entertain opinions and principles that are unpopular? Really, the idea of a candidate's being a mere machine under such circumstan ces i- fallacious. Let him declure hon estly, his opinions - let him argue his case-let iho people consider and judge; and let them, decide by vote, whether he can or will represent thei. 11 he be elec ted after this declaration. lie may feel as sured that the majority concur with hill ut if he be not elected. then he eannot Ie cume a mere machinec, for he will certain ly have no part or lot in the matter.

Departed this life on the 23d inst , after a protracted illness fon two months, CHarm.sKY Asa LoTr, wife of John Loit aged thirty-two years and two months. Sister Lott was born in Edg-dield District. and lived in it until her death, i~ het childhood she was mild, hutile, and aflectionate ; she united herself with the Baptist Church at Dry Creek, in her seven. teenth year; and since that time, she lived fur Him who died for her; the religion of Christ was the theme of her cotversation. During the time of her illness, she often spoke ol her death, and when asked how she feh abont dy inr. site said she did nut dread death, the only thing that Grieved her was the thought of lcav ing her children and companion. On one oc ension she called her children around her and said to thein, she was going to die, and she wanted themt all to prepare to meet her in hen ven; she then called her neighbors that was present, taid exhorted them to prepare for death ; she then culled he servants, aid said to them. she wanted them to promise to meet her in heaven, and appeared dissatisfied until they all promised to do so; after which site cheer. fully resigned herself and all into the hands of tier Savior. and thus foll asleep in the arms of her Savior, without a trn-'gle.
