THE Commander in Chief, with deep
regret, has to announce, the death of
Major General JAMES JACKSON, who
commanded the firft division es militia, and
was one of the Senators, of this State, in
the Congress of the United States.
This unfortunate intelligence was convey,
ed to him on the 7th instant, by a letter da
ted, the 19th of last month, from the Gen.
erai’s Colleague, rife Hon. Abraham Bald
win, in the following words •“ The dis
“ tressing talk, whieh my letters have so
“ lung led you tocxpeCl, is at length cn
“ forced upon me, of announcing to you the
“ death of my beloved and much refpe&ed
“ Colleague General Jackson. 1 havebecn
“ with him all night, and doled his eyes just
“ at the dawning of the day.
“ It is now more than twenty years since
“ we have been intimately a floriated in the
“duties of public life. A part of the duty
“ which I feel to be left to me is, to dc
“ dare, that in fterlfng integrity and hontft
“ devotion to the public good, 1 have never
“ found his fopenor.*'
Death has bereaved the State of a General
and a Starefman, who was no less valiant
in the field, that eminent In the cabinet. Du
ring our revolutionary war in the days of
peril, he exerted his utmost powers in de
fence of his country*s rights, and performed
afts of hrroifm—-and in her councils both at
home and abroad, he advanced and supported
the interest of the State, with stern integri
ty, undaunted pcrfeverance, perfpicaity of
mind and flow of eloquence. So great were
his public virtues that, from an early part
of his life, he held the firft and raoft diftin*
guifted appointments, both civil and milita
ry, in the gift of his State,
Tj attest the loss Georgia has Cu Rained by
the death of her beloved General and patri
otic and able statesman, who yielded op his
last breath from home, in the fcrvicc of his
country, and to maniteft the estimation in
which his worth ami Cervices arc held by A
grateful people, the Commander in Chief.
