As a man and a patriot, bright is the example we have in the career of Francis Marion. As a soldier, his name, more than any other, is identified with the stratagic wis dom, heroic exploits and military successes of the parti zan war in the Carolinas, during the Revolution a war in which he and his brigade were so distinguished, says Dr. Ramsay, and at the same time so detached in their operations, as to merit and require particular notice. In following him through the trying times in which he acted, much cause as we shall have to glory in him as a military chieftain, we shall have no less reason to admire the self-command, rectitude, and ever~ active humanity of his character.
