Honors to the dead hero.

--The Charleston Mercury, of the 15th inst., says:

‘ The grandest requiem ever chanted o'er the grave of a dead hero, boomed solemnly from our forts yesterday. The captured eleven-inch guns from the Keokuk, with their iron-throated voice, proclaimed a nation's sorrow and a nation's triumph. He who has gone from us will hear their notes in Heaven, and appreciate the dirge sung by his comrades in South Carolina. Requisscal in pace.

’
