DIED.

In Savannah, Geo. after BRIGHTNESS, on the 18th
November Sir. /. +. TATTNALL ROW LAND, in
the 46th year o. his age.
Thus in the full vigor Of mlt5lred manhood and the
meridian Of active career, the Diseased has been
suddenly removed from Young and interesting fam
lily and n numerous circle OF relatives and friends.
whose affections clustered fondy around him. and
WHO no,y mourn, with unaffected sorrow, their sad
and painful bereavement.
For many years previous to his decease, the subject
of this notice extensively engaged in mercantile
pursuits IN this his native city. where his superior
business faculties. energy and efficiency, united to
petseYe ng industry and diligence, achieved for him
reasonable share Of success while his uncompromis
ing integrity and unbending and undertaking rec
tude in all these connections, securedto him the liberal
confidence Of the business community. But it was
specially in the retired precincts OF private life,
and the more intimate and confidential relations Of
social intercourse that the estimable and attractive
qualities ot his nature We're displayed, and the genial
and engaging traits OF his character exhibited and ap
preciaed.
Kind and amahle in his feelings and aftctionate
and enaealug in his disposition. he fond devot-
ed considerable and iudulgent in al the nearer aud
tender domestic relations, unling in his asrIdulty
and unwearyng and seli-sacriicng in his soei'ude
for the welfare and comfort Of those VINO thus
closely allied to hEl.
While his immediate family were ever he cherished
objects Of his unccsng and fostering care his aged
parents acknowledged his fal regard and found in
his Gnfaitellng Edelity ana devotion Tue stay ana
support Of their declining years.
Generous in his impulses, unseilsh in his motives
and ardent and enthusiastic in his temperament, he
was invariably SINCERE his professions constant in
his attachments and dsintereeted in his friendships.
He was ingenious in all his sentiments, and wholly
incapable Of amy approach to artifce or deception
Without any Of those ambitious ostentatious
qualities which aspire false and adventitious gilt
ter he was sngllary unpretendiug in the native sim
pcity Of his character and nobtrusive in the chart
Ties of his lie. If heart quick and sensitive to feel
the injuries and sympathize with the mstortnes OF
others and henevolence of soul prompt to commits
crate and relieve every form of Distress and ever
ready to respond to every appeal Of suffering and need
which invoked his aid, are recognized among the es-
sental attributes Of true virtue, the writer Of this
humble tribute would bear this willing testimonial TO
hs excellence and worth And while he would not
claim tor him complete exemption from those imper-
lection. and inlrnities which are the common heri-
tage OF our a humanity, it i cons0!aory TO reflect
that the hearts to whom lie was 50 endery endeared
may recall with pleasing recollection those nobler
elements prominent and conspicuous In his cha,ac-
ter which contributed much to exenuate and
atone his errors.
May Heaven, in its infinite mercy. apply a healing
balm to the crushed and smitten hearts which bleed
under this distressing and affective visitation.
A. FRIEND.
