,ances, the death OF this venerable soldier Of
the Revs.:,,ion, ana faithful Minister of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. He had been to fulfill

On visit 10 a friend in the neishborhood, his

lencc to the earth, and. in half an hour after
wards expired, on the 18th inst, without hav.
ing spoken single word. He brcathed his
last in the house Of DR.. Crawford. to which he
had been conveyed. He received all The nj

Of Mr.. James Cartridge, Of Columbia county.
Geo., aged SO years. lacking two days. A,an
early age he catered the Revelation. was pre-
sent q, the siege at Savannah, in the scenes Of
which, he acquitted himself with honorto his
country and the grea. cause in which he was
engaged. Though no, so fearless and adsen-
,urous as his brother James, who was in the
same campaign. he was nevertheless as resolu,e
in his struggle for liberty, and looked upon the
foes Of his country with utter abhorrence. 1t
waa therefore a matter Of honest congratula.
ton with himself, and sometimes humbly alud-
ed to as such in die pulpit; tina, in those dark
hours, which tried mems souls. he was found
among tha, inviaeible band. who eventually
planted the standard Of American freedom on
the complete overthrow Of British tyranny ard
oppression. Blu, il is no, the character OF q
soldier Of the Revolution. thni has endeuTed
hun to the bosoms Of all who knew hun. He
was for nearly seventy years pious and deroted
Minister Of The Gospel. Although Of limited
education, his extensive usefulness has never
been questioned. Thousands, who have long
since gone TO their Heavenly home. will rise
up and bless the memory Of the sain,ed patri-
arch, who, under God, was the great inssru-
men, Of their eternal happiness. And other
thousands will admire .ifnos follow bis example.
His zeal and his pieiy uniformly kept pace with
each other, and il is difficult to determine IN
which he excelied. Neither OF them was c!
periodical caste or nature. They exhibited
themselves, not By fits and starts. as too often
she csse. with both Ministers and Laymeu. but
as fixed and constant principles Of true and
hourly devotion. His pic,y was not meteor

ma, but an ever durisg light, 6s guide TO Hea'
ven and blissiul immortality; such too as
gained upon the respect. even OF the prodigate

was bis great theme TO The last, Wherever he
went, religion was invariably the most PTofnl-

these subjects interested others and net him.
He seldom bad an Interview wiah any person.
10 whom he did no, introduce the subjec, OF re-
ligion before parting. I,was his custom when
his health would permit. never to &c. o, drink
uioGthfui in the morning, until be had first
addressed The Throne Of Grace; nor would he
lie down al night wi,hou, enjoying in the same
duty. AT the sge Of SO, almost incredible. be

day, through every description OF weather,
element or inclement, preaching the Gospel oil
Christ. He closed his earthly career in the &C.

the discharge Of duty. Honored, respected,
and beloved. he has gone TO his long home,
