THE Commander-“in Chief, wi:h deep
regret, has to announce. the death
of Majn General JAMES JACKSON,
, who commanded the firlt div ifion of militia,
aru* was one ct the Senators, Sta.-.,
in the Congrcfs of the United Stages.
This unfortunate intelligence was con
veyed to him on the 7th initanr, by a let
tfir, da-cd the 19th of l ul month, from the
General’s Colleague, the Hen. Abraham
Baldwin, in the following words “ Ihe
diftrefiing talk, which my letters have so
•t long led you to expert, is at length en
forced upon me, of announcing to you the
death of my beloved and much refpefled
“ Colleague General J ACKSON. I have
.« been with him all night, and,, doled his
ti eves iuft at the dawning of the day.

uin the datict of public life. A pait
« the duty .which 1 t-el to be left to me is,,
to declare, thatiin flerUng integrity and
«« honest devotion to the public good, 1
« have never found his fupetior.
Death has bereaved the State of a Gene
ral and a Statefrtian, who was no lets yah
ant in the field, than eminent in the cabinet.
' JJurin" onr revolutionary war tn t.'e days

defence of his country *s rights, and perfor
med aas cf bcrcifm—and in her councils
both at home and abroad, he advanced and
supported theintereft of the State with ttern
jnteyrity, undaunted perfeveranoe, per
fcicoityof mind and flow of eloquence. So
. gftat were his public virtues that, from
an-eaily part cf his life, he held the Srft
and.molt diflirguifced appointments, both
civil-and military, in the gilt of his State.

DIED, at the City of Wafcington on
th ei,9ili ultimo. Major General Jambs
Jackson, a Senator from this state, in
the Congrefr of the United States—While
I fepl, ielloN.v citizens, a proptnfity to pay
a tribute of refpeft to the manca of this
Hero, I candidly aver my incompetency to
the arduous talk—His high Military fame,
his fpkndid talents in the triple > rapacity
of Chiti Magiltrftte, Senator and Lawyer,
and above all, his feeling integrity in public
and private life, demand-eulogiims ftapenor
to my pen. —Gen. J.ickfon emigrated from
England, his native country, to this state,
then a province, at an earlv period of his
life. in ti e lute icvolulkni ht was aaong
the fir'll that drew a fwo*d, jo defence of
America, against «he proud Albion of-the
Seas, nor did he {heath ir, till l e saw the
haughty tyrant humbled—-iitice this bloody
feene, that “ tried the fouls ofmen,” our
gallant departed friend, has had a holt of
enemies, ot ail dsfcrtptions, to contend with,
bur, tike an able General as he was, he not
«nty conquered, hot ronfigned thvm to ob
livion--jack son to this liare, has been what
the famous Washington was to the union—
the latter, was the favorite infi-rbwicnr, in
the hands of Heaven, that fepe.tated thefts v
happy Hares flora the grtfprf an
p the former, from his abilities and
afliduity, has added to his country what
would' be cafled in Emvpe a Kingdom, or
Principality, by overturning a contract with
a set of men, who had nor the public good tor
. their object— .by this, I do not mean, to
•derraft ft dm the able coin peers that acted
with him on the occasion ; but it mud be
admitted, that Jackson laid the foundation
flnnc-.-He deserves a Man (oleum, and 1 trust
that an enlightened and liberal Legrflature,
wiih an able Executive Magistrate, at its
head, will do jutticc to the moll amiable of
women (his rriitV) anthoffspring. General
Jackson from his long publicfervices, aban
doned a liberal Sc lucrativ'c profcliioh, w i;it:h
to his family, has proved a severe Kiss.

HORRID MURDER 1
About 7 o'clock ou Tuefday evening last
in Effingham County', John London, efq. *
was Ihot off I.is hoife as he was returning
home from a neighbors within about a quar
ter of a mile of his cwn house. It was im
mediately discovered by one of his negroes
who was a Small dittance behind him, and
who alarmed the neighbors. It appeared
on examining his wounds and from every
ncccffary evidence chat he had been twice
(hot; the contents of one gun lodg
ed in his bawds, the other in the bread,
1 the whole amounting to 51 (hot. An in
qurft was held over the body and after taking
many affidavits on the fobjeff, the jury
gave it as their decided opinion, that he was
wilfully nmrdcrsd by one Lewis Magahagan,
