T11E WESTERN SUN. V IXC E XX E S, September 19, 1829. COMMUNICATION. DIED On the 5th inst. at his residence in YkWo ro inty, la. Mr. Cieokgk McCluiie, in the 7.(l year of his nge. He was a native of Penney! vania. and being blessed with apian mother, a;;d the staged ministrations of
the gospel, lis professed in his youth repentance towards dod and faith in our Lord Jesus Ob; i t, and c.:meeted himself to the Prcsby-t-.jri.vi church near Carlisle, under the pastoral rare of the Uev. Mr. Linn. From thence he removed in Kentucky at an early date, and there rnj jyed the benefits of the gospel of reconciliation in the Presbyterian church under the circ of the Rev. Jas. Vanco ; and about thirty vcar;, since removed lo this county, v. here he remain :.! respected and beloved, imtil ki d '.ys were numbered, and he leather c 1 home to his lathers. In his bsl illness, his Lord and Saviour
Government firovide every year to give to the Indians, without discrimination, consisting principally of blankets, leggins, rifles, ammunition, &c Surely a remonstrance from our Government, addressed to the British Government, against the giving these presents to our Indians, would, we should suppose, effect their withdrawal ; for these small matters might prove, in case of war, of serious im
portance. 1 he early attention of our Government to this subject might possibly be the means of safety to an extensive line of frontier. BALTIMORE, AUGUST 25. Extract of a letter to the Editors of the American, received by the ship Thomas Gibbons, at this port yesterday, dated. uRIO DE JANEIRO, 2d JULY, 1829. "Our advices from Buenos Ayres to the 12th June, represent the state of affairs to be
truly terrifying. Vast tribes of Indians had made a descent upon and plundered all the
country smith of the Salado. It was thought
whom he. had confessed in youth, and who had j that this would bring to a termination the hos
r.uV.ained him through the shilling scenes cl life, did not desert him in the last and tiying
conflict, for whilst the silver chord was losen
ing, and the golden bawl breaking, and the pitcher breaking at the fountain, the wheel at the cistern, then could he say with Job, 14 I know that my Pedccmcr livelh, and that he will stand upon the earth at the latter day : and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God, whom I rdiall sec for myself, and mine eyes shall be hold and n t another." And with Paul, u So
when this corruplable shall have put on incorvuption, and this mortal shall have put on imjnortalitv, then shall be fulfilled the saying
VII a I IS v. ii.icn, uciim n 3nu'ui;u in
tory : Oh death where is thy sting I Oh grave where i: thy victory 1 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law ; but
t brinks lie to God who givcth me the victory throu'i our Lord Jesus Christ." And when
hisoigans of speech had failed him, and the stream of life was fast ebbing to flow no more, on being asked if Christ was his only ground of hope, and if his hope of Heaven thiough
him was firm and unshaken, he meekly as
sentc !, bowing his hoary head, and not long
after went the way of all the living.
lie has left a w id.nv to mourn over the loss
of the companion of her youth and declining
years ; and a lare family connection, depi i ved of a kind father and faithful friend.
u And I heard a voice trom iicaven, saving
unto me, wiiic Blessed arc the dead that
die in the Lord from henceforth : yea, saith
the spiiit, that they may rest from their la bours, and their works do follow them."
