the original advances of the French Government, and
that on intervention, in the interests of peace and humanity,
may become the positive autyofthe European
powers." He^adds that no one there would be sur.
prised to leSm that the English Cabinet has at last
made up its mind to act in that direction, and that a

On the 18th-day of November, 1862 io the 26th year
of hie age* death enfranchised the spirit of a noble sol1
dier, a faithful friend, a dutiful son.r Jn this Iripple relation,
it is (dike honorable to the memory ot the noble
dead and due to the feelings of the bereaved living,
that I speak, of my late frhtafl and associate in arms,
Captain EDWARD P. NILKS. il
The term soldier is often indiscriminately applied to
one engaged in military service, Without reference to
the character of the individual, or the nature pftbo
sertioejbutit is intended here, hi a far more emphatic
sense. Whilst the tempest of war, which has since ,
i so furiously swept over die oodntry was gathering for'
the desolation and ruin of Otir homes, this' gallant soldier,
inspired by the dictates of s lofty patriotism, enlisted
as a private in the service of his native fitate.
' He did hot wait for her call, but constituted himself
the judge of the time when she. most needed him,
and with an sladrtSV ind-dhwatJcw worths nf
tion, rushed * Mi^tbe earlier struggles
of the present revolution, be bor? a conspicuous part,
first as Orderly Sergeant, then as Brevet 2d Lieutenant
of Cacndeh VohiuteefsJ Company E, 2d S. C., Regiment
In the former capacity, he was preseut with bis comaat
the siege of Fort Sumter, ready and willing to
rm his part in burling back the minions of despotism,
and with exultant shout beheld the "stare and
stripes" of tyranny, go down under the heal of Southern
valor; in the latter, be participated and behaved with
gallantry in the memorable battle of Manassas Plains,
fbiigut 21st of July, 1861?the first great stniggle
for 8outhcrn independence. In a word, whether occupied
with the qtiiot duties of camp, or engaged in
moving forwafd to meet the insolent inr?d?r hp I

ding to deal him a double blow, he was ever present ;
with the army of the Pototaac, to share its fortunes,
calm, aelf-pcsaeaaed and self-reliant. Having been
appointed'early 1n Kay of }8ti2, to the office of Quartermaster
of the 2d 8. C. Regiment, with the pay and
rank of Captain, he turned his attention to ditties equal?
xS&S&ZX
Charged them with signal ability.
Ab a lH6rid he Was loyal. With hup, friendship was
something more than a mere sentiment, tie did not
profess it like many, as the means to an end, but had
the mind to comprehend it and the spul to apprehend
it. He viewed it as one of the objects of life, a living
reality. His friendship Was the essenoe of faith,
plighted and kept; the unselfish allegiance of heart to
heart, and pulse to pulse. When the interest or safety
of a friend was imperiled, he did not stop to count the
hazards, but threw hlmaelf* into the breach?would
havetougbt for him, aye! bled for him, if need ee,*ooet
what it might.
Peperted friend end oomradef in life we loved thee,
in death we mourn thee. Though eUeoce faes forever
sealed thy lips, and darkness vailed thy eyslida,
the slumber of the grave shall never wrest from'th**
the tribute due to tbj name bj a grateful posterity.
