God. i)oblado. Both statements arc feebly

Maximilian had invited President Juarez and

Field Marshal Santa Anna.
Don Anlonia Lopez do Santa Anna, who has
been appointed Field Marshal by Maximilian,
is always turning pp. lie is an clastic and irrepressible
football of destiny. In 'Iris interview
with Gcft. Houston, after the battle of San
Jacinto, he said: "General, you can afford to
be generous ; you are born to,no common des^
tiny, you have conquered the Napoleon of the
West." ,It must he admitted that, after many
vicissitudes of fortune, he is now, if not Napoleon,
next bet one to Napoleon's nephew, which
is coming considerably ueufer to Napoleon than
most who lay claiin to that title. :v,
For more than forty, years Santa Anna Jhas^
been a soldier, and among the. many Generals
of Mexico none have approached him in genius
*hnd energy. Maximilian, who has no doubt
repeated of late that part of his studies wlijeh
o M~... J " -
.wwwuv-.t iuu i"?c?v >? ouu, must ue won acquainted
with the brilliant, ami eccentric career of
this military and political comet. Possibly he
has not overlooked the fact that the first Emperor
of Mexico, Iturlvide, was assisted to the
throne in 18*J*U by Santa Anna, who served
under him and had been Ids great friend. In
one year after he had helped to put lturbiile
in, he put him out. Maximilian is, perhaps,
also aware that history sometimes repeats
itself. , .
That is his concern and not ours. The Southern
Confederacy lias no particular reason to'

A11RAM .1. CUNNINGHAM, oldest son of W. C.;
and Rebecca M. Cunniugluun. aged 20 years and 2&
days, was born near liberty Hill, Kershaw District
So. Ca., Jnne 8th 18<M, and departed this life in Jackson
hospital, Richmond Va., on the 3d Qf July 1864,
caused by a very painful wound, received in an engagement
near Atles Station. May 28th, wlnle gallantly
ropulsing the enenij'. lie joined the 4th Regiment
So. CA Cavalry, Company H, Catawba Rangerg, which
was raised iu the latter part of. 1861. Although but

to defend the coast, which they nobly and eflecttmlly
did, from the merciless invader.* While here
he suffered man}' hardships ami privations, but never
was known to murmur or complain, was always ready
and waiting, at his post of duty. On the opening of
the present Virginia campaign, his regiment being
transferred to the bloody fields of that State, ho cheerfully
and full of patriotic hope, went forth to his new.
field of duty?he ever believing it to bo his dut3r,
respond cheerfully, wherever liis services were mostly
needed. Soon after reaching there his noble regintont
was ehgaj^d in deadly conflict; where it nobly vindicated
tho character of South Carolina's brave sons. ,
It was hero while bravely*and nobly performing his
duty, that ho fell, receiving his mortal wound. Yes, it
was here, lie fell with his face to tho lbe; that lie
yielded up hnnself, a noble sacrifice to his beloved:

For sumo timo afterwards he improved and ap?
pearedto be doing well. His fond parents and frieud3r.
soon expdeted to clasp liiin to their bosoms, and wely
cdnio him home, where ho could receive their kind at-,

crushed, with the dead summons that hewaa.no moro."
lie wps taken worse very suddenly, and after suffer-.
ing intensely lot five days, all alone among strango-,

away from "oartli, ayil toolkits upward flight to dwell
with us no more. Tho iast stngo of his sickness bcint
so severe bo was not permitted to leave any dying
evidence of his future prospects; but-my past intimacy
with him as a dear and attached friend, it is my
belief, *>ndhope that ho is now gono to that loved
land of everlasting hlifes, where tlio weary nro at rest.
He has left a kind father, a fond and loving mother,
dear brother's and sisters, and large circle of friends all
howjpd down in grief. But we weep not as those who
have no hope. "We hope to meet him, not as we former
ly did, but meet his pure and loving spirit in that haven
of rest, whore War and its tumults Will never ho
known. The writer whoso sad and painful duty it is
to inscribe this humble tribute of love to his memory,
was ever bi? dear aud attached friend. Long will tho
memory of the past 1)0 cherished in his heart. No k
nobler sacriflcb has been offered on the alter of'
our country. lie had a kind heart, and possessed thoso
elements'oCcharacter which attach many friends. Ho
was loud and allVctionute in his associations, warm in'
Iiik attachment. of a meek and gentle spirit, quiet and
unobtrusive in Iiih man Mors, universally loved by all.
None knew him but love liiur, none spoke of him
but with praise. ' All could not slay the hand of death.
The Lord has s<;on host, to take him from uu. Therefore
sorrowing parents and friends-weep no more, but
be rescued to the will of hjm who doth all things
well. But a sh^rt time ago he was with us'hero.
