He died, at his seat, near Edenton, on the 4th instant, aged 54 years. The perfect and undeviating recitude, which at all time marked his conduct, in his many public and social relations, his humane and charitable disposition, his amiable manners and improved understanding, render his loss a subject of deep and universal regret. On a retrospect of his life, and a recollection of his many virtues, the tongue of Malevolence must be struck dumb and eulogy itself confers its want of power, to do justice to his name. His mortal remains were followed to the grave by a numerous concourse of respectable inhabitants; and summoned by the Great Architect of the Universe, we trust, his soul has ascended to the mansion assigned it, in its native skies.
