DIED.

On the 9th ult near Wythe CT House, Va,
In the 5Oth year Of his age, Col. JOHN G. STUART,
late Of King George county, Va. Ii was but
few weeks since We saw him in health, and spirits
though saddened at parting with the cherished
friends OF his youth, braced to manly tone, by
sense of duty, set out with his amiable fami-
ly for the South West carrying with him the az
fectlonate respect of all who knew him. He had
reached Wythe county, when disease arrested
him, and in few days buried his ffatterng pros
poets and ardent hopes in the grave.
He was warm and generous hearted man,
proverblal for his hospitality, and Kindness OF
disposition. We wish not 10 indulge in studied
eulogy-one fact will bear testimony to the hold
he had upon the affections of the people who
knew him best: the citizens of King George, on
the eve of his departure, gave him Public DIM
ner-a testimony of respect, which. however
prostuted tor political purposes, in the instance
under consideration, conveyed compliment to
private citizen, of which any one might be
proud. To all his old friends and neighbors the
news of his death has accustomed the deepest
sorrow-Fred. AreAa.
In recording the death of the lamented GER
tleman whose character is so well sketched in
the above article, we may be allowed to offer
our humble tribute to his memory. Col STUART
was deservedly popular. The very model of a
Virginia gentleman all that gaiety, socia-
bility, kindness, hospitality and politeness, which
belong to the old school, he won the affections
OF the young, while he secured the esteem Of
the more aged. Mount Stuart (his residence)
was, emphatcaliy, the seat of hospitality; and
many who read these lines will, no doubt, sigh,
as We do, over the remembrance Of the happy
hours thsre spent with its noble hearted pro-
prietor.
Col Stuart had represented his county in the
Legislature of the State, and, for the last few
years of his life, was Clerk of the county. His
friends loved him as one OF the best of men and
kndest OF neighbors. In all the relations Of
life, he sustained the most exalted character;
and when he left King George for Alabama, he
left not an enemy in the world behind him.
The death of such man may well occasion
sorrow To all who knew him, the event will
be the cause of the deepest regret

Moreau de ST. Merry, a French exile, noKept

that one man might fall out of three story WIN
dow and be slightly, if at all hurt--while ano-
Their. in crossing gutter or coming down stairs
,yould fall down and break leg or an ARM
In proof OF his doctrine, he mentioned many OF
his own remarkable escapes, OF which remem-
her but two: On one occasion, he had been con-
demned, & was on his way to the guillotlne, when
one of the Guarde Rationale, Ia journeyman
nrinter, TO whom Moreau had done some kind

/ This man is a good citiZen,-l know him WELL
Seizing him by the arm, he dragged him from
among the crowd ofvictims, at moment when
he appeared to be on the verge Of eternity.
AT another time, he was at Brest waiting for
wind to sail for this country, having become
very highly obnoxious to the ruling powers. 1t
had blowed for several days west. At length it
yeered about, and blew favorable for his voyage.
The captain, resolved to profit by it, sent bell
man through the city to summon the passengers
70 come aboard without delay. st. Merry was
seated at a table eating his dinner, but rose
from his seat when he heard the bell, although
he had but half finished his meal. The ship
Immediately got under way. She had not been
