Died, near Knoxville, on the 21st December last, Thomas Sheppard Slatter in 
the 68th year of his age. Mr. S. was a native of Halifax county, North 
Carolina, and emigrated to Georgia at an early age. He was, in many respects, 
a very remarkable individual. For integrity of purpose, and firmness of 
resolve, and honest plain dealing, society has seldom seen his equal. He 
despised flattery, abhorred deceit, and through a long life disdained to 
embark in any undertaking that did not bear the impress of honesty and virtue.-
-Wrought in the finest mould, his mind never embraced petty notions or 
pursuits. Mr. S. was a patriot, born in the school of the Revolution; and amid 
the storms which for the last three years have agitated the political 
atmosphere of his beloved country, he stoom firm as the mountain rock. An 
ardent love of country was the predominant trait in his character, and those 
who knew him best will attest with pleasure his unrelenting opposition to 
innovations of any kind, and his deep solicitude for the perpetuity of our 
free institutions. But he is gone! the friend, the patriot is no more! Long, 
long, will his afflicted family and numerous friends deplore his loss.

S.
