brother. He was much respected by all OH board.
and all now, assure you, sincerely mourn his un-
timely end lie is to be buried on shore this after
noon, with military honors, and with our Chaplain
TO perform the Protestant Church services
All who knew Purscr SAWYER know that his
rather slight physical constitution rendered ar
duous mental and physical Labor a severe tax
upon HIM His high sense of honor and per-
sontl responsibility, however, in the important
office he occupied, would prevent his allowing
himself any relaxation, even the most necessa
ry. Whenever duty called, he was inAexible.
No personal considerations could deter him
from the performance Of his responsible d,tty.-
The next extract from Captain GoLpsBoRoUens
letter, which we give below, explains. in our
Judgment the whole matter Mr. SAWYER ,cas
trorked 10 DEATH Without wishing to cast any
sort OF imputation upon his Clerk or Steward,
we nevertheless believe that their unftness for
their respective stations so augmented his &c.
tual ldborS as to bring him into the condition
so ieelngly described by Captain GoLDsDo-
ROUGH Captain GoLDsBoRoUGn says:-
IL Is proper ior Inc TO mention to you. that your
brother was quite unfortunate, AT Boston, in the Sc
lection OF his clerk. The one he obtained was Who'll
y inexperienced, and otherwise unfit for the posi-
ton Nor was his steward exactly OF the right sort
These things troubled him good deal, and, doubt
less imposed upon him much labor which otherwise
might have been avoided. Both his clerk and stew
ard were OF his own particular selection nor could he
be persuaded to provide himself with better ones"
In our opinion this explains the cause of the
lamentod catastrophe. Mr.. SAWYER was une-
quail to serere personal labor, but was the last
man in the world to shrink from it, where he
his duty demanded it. What fol-
lowed is thus easily understood.

charges against him, and his unparalleled de-
