DEATH OF Mr.. FIrzHUGH.-We accord most en-
tirey with the justice of the glowing tribute paid to
Mr. Fitzhugh, by the Editors of the National Intelli
gencer. He was in truth, perfect gentleman,
warm patriot, an able man, and what is in these lat

clan.
NATIONAL MrErL1eEScER.
Ii is with'grefof heart, that we announce to our
readers (as by the annexed letter. the decease of
WILLIAM Ii. PlTLRUGH, Esq. of Ravenswo rth,
Fairfax county, Virginia Torn from US in the prime
and pride of vigorous intellect and manly beauty his
sudden death reminds rather of the towering OAK,
rlven by fire from Heaven, than of the flower cut
down IN the field by the mower Without one mo.
ment's warning, his noble spirit passed away! No
more shall his eloquent voice be heard in the Senate
OF his native Stae-no more his hospitality dispensed
IN the hall OF his Fahers--no more his time, his ia
ents and his purse Increasingly employed in the pur
suit of objects of benevolence, charity, and public
good There is left to the wide circle of friends of
which ne was the idol and ofthe people by whom he
was beloved. only the melancholy consolation Of the
remembrance of his virtues
