A RARE OLD MAN.

DIED, ln this city, 90 Friday evening,
the Cd instant, JOHN CARY, in the
ll4th year Of his age This is the same
"OLD JOHN" OF whom some notice was
taken 10 the lntelligencer OF last winter,
when a joint resolution was pending to
grant him pension He was born oI
African parents. 10 Westmoreland coun

and half before the birlb Of General
Washington, aud in the same county.
Had he lived two months longer, he
would have reached the full age Of Id
years. tie accompanied Gen. Washing
ton as his personal servant in the old
French war, end was with him in the
bait e.ield on tho Monongahela in July
1855, where Gen. Braddock was defeat
ed and slain, and where Washington, by
his ability and prudence, covered the re
treat and saved the remnant Of the Brit.
ish army and laid the foundation for his
future military fame.
In :he war Of the Revolution. John
followed TO the camp and TO the field his
old commander, sometimes as personal
attendant and sometimes in the ranks OF
the army, and continued with him ill
the termination OF hostilities. When
retiring from the army, Gen. Washing
ton presented odd John" with a military
coat, the same which The General had
worn at the siege of Yorktown, as to-
ken OF his appreciation and esteem. This
coat John carefully preserved as a sa
cred memenlo; and though in his old
age reduced TO extreme poverty, no mo-
ney could ever tempt him to part with
the coat. lie wore II as dress coat lI
with in the last fifteen wears of his life
and has left il as his richest earthly
treasure.
After the war Of the Revolution, John
resided for several years in Westmore
land county, where he became a devou
member Of the Baptist Church. Thence
removed to this place, and for the las
twenty eight years oil his life was men

the Intervention OF the law This gen
eraI esteem Of his fellow citizens INTRO
duced him, betjmes. into pubic lIie.--
AT only % he was already member Of
the House Of Representatives 10 his ma
tive Commonwealth. A few years later
he passed into the Senatorial body;
where, in spite Of his you'h, his excel
lent purposes and soundDess OF judgment
soon made him a leading member 10
the wo bodies he served most usefulIy
and honorably some ten years. He sal
also 10 the Convention which framed
the present Constitution OF Massachu-
selts; took an active and influential part
in the Harrisburg Convention and the
great civil revolution Of le4O; and was
afterwards returned q member Of Con.
gress, TO which he had been again elect
ed this spring. In the last named body
his speeches have not been frequent, but
have always won him the praise Of
sense, usefulness, and knowledge Of his
subject, rather than the reputation Of
mere rhetoric. He came, however,
with an influence and a weight more
felt than any which mere speeches can
get or keep; and few men from his quar-
ter possessed, while his health allowed
him TO exert himself, more power in the
body to which he belonged
Upon the close Of life Of such Fecli
tude Religion could scarcely fail to shed
calmness, courage, and hope. The ra
tonal but warm faith in which he had
all his DAYS walked, lent patience to his
bodily sufferiugs and the manlieSt com
posure to the last act OF life. He died
as one must die who had sligh,ed no du.
ty and ielt every affection-wilh the
regrets of husband, father, and 6
friend; but with The courage of mar
aud the confidence o(a Christian.

SEIZURE OF THE SANDWICH is
LANDS.

The belief is held by some that the
seizure Of the Sandwich Islands by Lord
Paulet was totally unauthorized by The
British Government, and that so soon as
information OF the fact reaches Eogland
immediate steps will be taken to restore
things to their Original position. We
shall be of this opinion too when events
prove It's correctness, bot in the mean
time the force Of doubts tends strongly
to induce the impression that the occu
patton of these islands is but one step
further in the path which Eng has
been steadily pursuing for years.
A letter from an American naval off.
Ger to the editor Of the New Orleans
Bulletin after detailing The particulars
of the seizure, says that "the interests
of The United States will suffer chiefly
from The occupation BY the English Of
