ON my return from the South West few
days since, whitherI had been called by Sc
rioas indisposition in my family, was utter
ly astonished, as well as deeply chagrined. at
the intelligence that the publication Of the Ca
zette had been suspended for several weeks.
This suspension, which l know nothing Ell
ther to require or excuse, was so far from be-
ing authorized by me, that it was perpetrated
In ny absence, by those who had charre of
the Office, In the very face of the plainest
and most positive instructions TO issue the pa
per regularly until my return. The object
of this card is simply TO exculpate myself
from all blame in the premises, and 10 assure
the subscribers to the paper, that the Gazette
will appear again i'll the course of few
weeks at tarthest,-possiblyi in few DAYS ::
a quantity OF new type having been ordered
from the North, and one of the most accom-
pllshed printers in the United States engaged
to take charge OF the mechanical department
OF the establishment. The Gazette has not
gone down as some aliege, but has only been
hauled out on the dock, for few days, to un-
dergo thorough repair.
She will soon make her appearance again
on the stormy brine, re-modelled and re-riuGcd
every sail spread to the breeze, the glorious
stripes and stars of the Republic floating at
her masthead, and manned by a gallant
crew, resolved to do battle for their country,
in the storm as well as in the breeze, while a
single man remains to tread the deck.

enty years. The deceased was native of
Buckingham county in the Eastern part of
this State, but had been living in the family of
Mr.. Harris (where she died) for number of
years; and 1t will no doubt be soothing and
grateful to the feelings OF her many friends
and connexions to know that in her last pain
ful and protracted illness she had the assidu-
Gus attention and heartfelt sympathies of the
kind and hospitabls family with whom she
had spent so large portion Of her life.-CoM

age-leavinga wife and three children. The
deceased was 4 soldier in the last war. He
had beena member ofthe Presbyterian church
tor number OF years, and in his latter mo-
ments expressed a strong confidence, tho. he
had found peace and acceptance with his Ma
ker through the merits Of a cIucilied Redeem
er, and he awaited with patience the stroke
which was to release him from all his Garth
~ suttenngs, and translate him to the JOYS of
blessed Immortality.
DIED, on the 25th of September, at his re-
sldencc iii Washington County, Missouri. of
bilious fever, Mr.. MATHEW T. HUNTER, for

GEORGE HANCOCK GRIFFIN, of the 9Th Infan-
try, at Fort Brooke, Tampa, Florida, after an
illness of seven days.
Thus has passed away one Of the most
generous, gallant, and beloved officers of the
United States Army. Capt Griffin was q
graduate of the Military Academy, and has
been for two years on duty in Florida. I'm

declare they are never satisfied unless they
