The writer of this notice knew him well during that period, and can bear full testimony to his possession of all the qualities that ennoble a gentleman and a soldier. He was in Florida in 1835, when the Seminole war broke out, and bore the brunt of the first battle at the Withlacoochee, where his gallant final charge upon the Indians with the bayonet dispersed the savages and aided greatly in securing the victory. Col. Clinch, in his official report, spoke in the highest terms of the conduct of Col. (then Capt.) Graham. He fell in that charge with two severe wounds from the Indian rifles, (one received early in the fight,) and his brother (Lieut. Campbell Graham, of the Artillery, now Captain of Topographical Engineers) also received at the same time two severe wounds, at first believed to be mortal, but from which he recovered after a long time. Throughout the whole of the Florida war "the Grahams" were distinguished for their intrepedity and soldierly conduct. Co.

Mr. Pyne then stated that he had been led to expect the presence of an eminent person (understood to be Mr. Dallas) who was to deliver an address on this melancholy occasion; but, as he had been prevented by unavoidable circumstances from giving his attendance, Mr. P. was happy to have it in his power to state, from the highest sources of information, some of the prominent facts in the history of the illustrious dead. He then proceeded to read a written memoir, which he said had been hastily drawn up, but which was evidently compiled from a long and intimate knowledge of Col. Graham's character and military career; the whole course of which it traced out from his birth, in February, 1798, to his fall at Molino del Rey, before the city of Mexico, on the 8th of September last. While leading his regiment to this tremendous and daring assault Col. Graham received ten wounds, three of which were mortal, and he expired on the field a few minutes after receiving them. His last words, while reclining wounded on the ground, were, "Charge on the enemy--charge!" And then he lay quietly down and breathed his last. The paper related the history of his early youth, his original penchant for the Navy, and the subsequent change in the object of his ambition which led to his entrance as a Cadet at West Point, and his subsequent distinguished course as a gallant and chivalrous officer. His military service in Florida was adverted to, in which he occupied the exposed and delicate position of a command upon the frontier, between the White and Indian population, shortly before the breaking out of the Seminole war. His first battle, after the actual commencement of that war, was that of the Withlacoochie, and he continued actively engaged in the service till the close of that protracted and sanguinary struggle. The paper then went on to give an account of his services in Mexico, where he shared in every splendid victory of our arms, save that only at Buena Vista, at which it was not his lot to be present, for the reason that he was then attached to the forces which were preparing for the siege of Vera Cruz. It closed with a high, but doubtless a merited eulogy, on his military and his private character.

The Rev. Pastor observed that he had not hesitated to read this memoir, even in that house of God, because he was willing to have it recognized that a soldier, falling in the faithful discharge of his duty, was as much an object of admiration to the Christian Church as any other man, who died in the performance of the duty of his station in society. He related several incidents in the life of the deceased illustrative of his magnanimity, and his habitual readiness to postpone his own wishes and his personal comfort to those of others. He was accustomed to vacate his own tent and surrender it to his sick soldiers, on whom he waited with assiduous tenderness; and he reaped the beautiful reward of this disinterestedness in the ardent attachment of his command. An affecting proof of this was exhibited by them when he fell. Amidst the promiscuous slaughter of officers and soldiers which took place under the Mexican batteries, the soldiers of Col. Graham braved every danger to rescue his bleeding body from piles of others by which it was surrounded, and to give it burial in the private grounds of the Spanish Consul; owing to which act of love in death it was that those remains now lay in the midst of a Christian sanctuary and received the rites of Christian sepulture.

With one more anecdote illustrative of the same trait of character Mr. P. closed his account; and that was, his unwillingness when a young Lieutenant to exchange the active service of his profession in the field for a birth at New Orleans connected with the Commissariat, which would have been much more lucrative. But, when that birth was about to become vacant from the desire of its incumbent to withdraw, with his family, from the dangers of the epidemic then prevailing, Col. Graham, on learning the fact, waived his former scruples, sacrificed his personal wishes, and accepted the post to accommodate the anxious wishes of a brother officer, in consequence of which he suffered an attack of yellow fever that well nigh cost him his life.

His address was concluded by some reflections appropriate to the occasion; and particularly by the desire, that, while all thus readily united in honoring the dead who had lost their life in faithfully serving the country, an equal readiness would be shown to appreciate the services of those now in the field who willingly exposed themselves to a like peril; and that, in awarding them that meed of fame they were so dearly earning, no miserable reservations, either on the one side or the other, no poor desire to annoy the high or the low, would be suffered to sully and to mar the expressions of a Nation's gratitude.

The procession then left the Church in the same order in which they had entered it, and moved, preceded by the Military, and amidst mournful music and the tolling of the Church bell, towards the Congressional Cemetery, where these honored remains were to find their last earthly resting place, in the family burial ground of a surviving and devoted brother.
