REMINISCENCES ~OF THE PALMETTO REGI- v aMENT. s LT. WHIT. BUTLER BROOKS. f No. XIII. t1 By heayen, methinks, it were an easy leap, To pluck bright honor from the pale fac'd il moon; Or dive into the bottom of the deep. b Where fathom line could never touch the ground, And pluck up drowned honor by the locks HENRY IV. W. B. Brooks was the young Harry Percy of the Palmetto Regimeut.. With t more years on his head, anal with a broad et field of action, he might have rutn a ca reer in the field of arms, not less dazzling, h perhaps, than that of his illustrious proto typo himself. t ithin the narrow limits in which it was his destiny to acr, he dis played qualities and performed deeds eve ry way characteristic of the hero of Shake speare. . Brave. gallant, impetuous. he was always ready to engage in the most hazardous enterprises, and never failed to exhibit in his conduct a noble bearing and manly courage. And whilo displaying the d brilliant traits of a gallant warrior, he gave evidence of the many excellent qualities that characterize the true and polished entleman. In the 1Itier point of viow. a not less than in the former, be represented. in true spirit,the best specimen of the south- P ern gentleman. With enoughof aristocratic t bauteur to avoid all low associations, yet d with affability of manners and strong so- d cial inclinations, tempered nith chivalric 0 sentiments and love of glory, he was open to the warmest attachments of friendship, and secured applause from his fellows with no greater effort than by the exhibi- e tion of that winning ease of manner en tirely nutural with hit. If there was anything after his acknowledged gallant- C ry, that rendered bis character peculiarly c striking, it was the strong element of gen- u tletnanly principle that formed so promi- a nent a feature in its composition. rhis a was, indeed,-a -distioguishitig mark with t him. It was in his every act, and seemed a to animate his every thought. Trace hi-n through all the vicissitudes of a military n life, through the various grades of a sol dier's duties, from the implicit obedience required of him by the law, to the partial I freedom of social revelry at times allow ed, you will discover the principle alluded a to, in its noblest developement. You will f see the same. independence of character the same ardent terrperament-the same gentlemanly tone-the same chivalric hearing, displayed in all his acts, alike in the camp and on the field. As proof of what we state, may be adduced the tosti mony .qf all his comrades in arms, among whom he enjoyed great popularity. . A evidence still stronger, is the.fact, that his associations were by no means confined to a his equals.in rank. "He obtained the favor , and intimacy,of those much aboy.ehim;.in psioai iin~8 teeriintrict nirjnsti juette did not:positively forbid, he was admitted to all the privileges' of equality and friendship. This may be regarded as a mark of decided merit, as-it is very uno-t ual in-the army, where, in order to pre erve proper discipline, a rigid enforce ment of outward formality, is most strictly demanded. Governed by usual formality' ~ in his subordinato station.ho must have been exludled from equtality of intercourse with those above himt in rank ; but by virtue ofd is intellit.,ence, good breeding, & altogeth er geurlemantly deportment, befoirmed oine. of the few exceptions to favor in the close observance g9 millitary etiquette. By this exhibition of qualitics rarely united in oneo of his age, he exerciised a very important mniLe'c~e in preserving or e der and decorum in the Regiment. In. his. examiple of strict obedience to the orders f his superiors, and in hisi readhiness tn otndemn all low, riotous, or un'ecomning conduct, he taught the young metn arotuid him a lesson of practical wisdomn, highly important in the discha.rge of -nilitary du ry. This spirit of obedience and order in a soldier is a virtue too shining in iils quali ties too important ini its effects not to draws forth prie and admiration. In this brief an~ilysis of conduct, we should not omit to mentious the- z.eal and energy, which marked the cha~racter of young Brooks iu the dischiarge of his mnil itary duties--qualities, he displayed in an eminent degree before leaving te scenes of his boyhood. It was itt part biy his itt- 't s:rumentality, aided in his ellorts b~y oth,-. ers of his coimrades, that thte co-ie painy fromn d his native dlistrict was raised in time to Ibe a received intto service. T' eff'ect this ob- t ject, he wrought with the greatest activip ty. He rode by day and by night. lHe ued persuatiotn upon persuasion. By I his chivalric appeals, he worked ont the ' imagination. of his young friends in the i district, wvho could not withstanid their i influence, and rallied under the banner of their country. But in his active zeal he 6 had a damper to his feelings. An aged J father, feeble in health, leaned upon hitm a for meittal support. H~e appealed to his a llial affections: he begged himt to remain. The son, in sorrowv and in tears, implored i or cons nt to go. TIhe trial was severe. It required a sacrifice. Thte young man bi felt his honor pledged--and he considered t it hts duty~to enroll. With a heavy heart, iF te father yielded him to his counttry's call, a and invoked upon his head the blessings nt of Providence. We were present wvhen t his scene occurred in the Court House at a Edgefield village, and an occasion of more g deep -and anxious excitement never hap- C pened within our recollection. The large b assembly was filled with patriotic feeling. nt and fathers with tears in their eyes, and S under deep emotions ofinecxpressi ble anxi- ti ty, gave up their stons to their country's al service, in full view of the dreadful dan-U gers by which they were to be surround It d. No one that day was tendered to his h :ountry of moore noble bearing, of more a ;enuine gallantry. thtan the Soun~g man of a whom we have been writing. - To imirkt each act of his. deserving tohbe tted, during the campaign of'47, would si idus heyon~d ite limits of this no'ice.

In the day's march before eaching Rio Frio. he was in command of he rear guard of the Palmetto Regimetl; hich, tlt day, was rear guard of the di ision.' A:small body of Dragoonswas' till in rear of young Brooks. In passing rom a plain into a mountain defile, afteir e regiment was lost sight of in a turn-of hill, the Guirilleros sallied out from heir hiding places upon this handful of) en. The Dragoons. who were first to - e assailed, rude up at top-speed" to- give otice to'young Brooks, and to-hurry him the main body of the regiment. The' ur or five tneu under his command'had iready commenced to retreat ; but beeing: le Guerrilleros very near at hand, andsin e act of lancing a Dragoon, he ordered a alt, and instantly opened fire upon"the n'tny. By his owt gallantry he inspired is little band with courage and resolution.

This was the nly injury sustained. Infornation of this hold little rencoun Tr soon reached the head officers of the ivision, and created no little excitement mong the men. That night at Rio Prio, ens, Quitman and Shields sent for young rooks. They heard from his own lips it account of the engagement. They corn tended him highly for his gallantry, and roferred their aid in securing him some andsone post in the army. Fr m this me forwarJ, he was known 'o the whole ivisin-, and noticed with favor by all the (leers. At the battle of Contreras he acted with. reat firmness and resolution.
