LENOIB, This venerable Patriot and Soldier died «t Ins rcsidonco at Fort Defiance, in Wilkcs Cunulv.on Monday the Gib May, aged 68 years! Perhaps no individual now remain* in the State of North Caro-lina who bore a more distinguished part during our Revolutionary struggle, or who was more closely identified willi llic early history ofourGovcrumciit, than the venerable man whose history ami public services it is our purpose lo sketch. General LEMUR was born in Brims-wiek Countv, Vs., on the SOth of May, 1751, (O. S.) and WM descended from poor but respect iblc French ancestry.— Ho was the youngest of a family of ten children. When about eight years old, his father removed to Tar River, near Tarborough, N. C, where he resided un-til his death, which hippened shorily af-terwards. The opportunities of obtain-ing even an ordinary English education, at that day, were extremely limited, and Gen. Lemur received no Other than such ;ia Ins own personal exertions permitted him to SCqUiW alter his father's death.— When about twenty years of age, hd was married lo Ann Baltafd, of Halifax Conn-lv, N. &—a lady possessing in an uniin. c'rit degree those domestic and heroic vir-tues which qualified her lor sustaining the privations and hardships of a frontier life, which it was (icr destiny aflciwards to cneouiitcr. In March, 177">, Gon. I., removed with his family lo the County of WiIkes, (then ■ portion of Surry) and settled near the place where tbo village of Wilkesborough now stands. Previous to his leaving Halifax, however, ho signed whit was then familiarly call, d" The Association Piper," which contained a declaration of the sentiments of the people of the < lolo-lues in regard lo the relation! existing between them and the crown of Great llrilaii', and which their scattered OOlidi. tion rendered it necessary to circulate for signatures, in order to ascertain the wishes and dot) rniination of the people. Soo.i after hiJ removal to Bum, he was appointed a member of tho'Comtnilteo of Safety for that County, and continued to discharge his duty as such, and as Clerk to the Committee, until their authority was superseded by the adoption of the Coilllitalion of tlic Slate. On the com-mencement <«f hostilities with tlrcat Brit-am, Gen. L. very early look a decidi d aria active part. It is well known to all •nose acquainted with the history of the times, that about the beginning of the War of the Revolution, the Cherokee In-dians were exceedingly troublesome to the white settlements in iho Western part of North Carolina, The Whigs, there-fore, iii that section of the country, Wi re obliged, at the very outset, lo be con-stantly on the alert—they frequent, ly had to march at a moment's warning, in small detachments, in pursuit of ma-rauding band's of Indians, in the hope of chastising them for depredations commit cd on the sellleincnls—they were also compelled lo'kecp up scouting and rang-ing parties, and- to-station guards at the most accessible passes in the mountains. In this service, Gen. L. bore a conspicu-ous part which was continued until the celebrated expedition ol Gen. Rutherford and Gen. Williamson in 1770 put an end to Iho difficulties with the Cherokee?.— In this expedition, Gen. L. served as a I.ioutcnant under the distinguished Col, Clcavcland, who was then a Captain, and frequently has heen heard to recount the many hardships and sufferings which they had to undergo. They were often entirely destitute of provisions—there was not a tent of any kind in Iho whole army—very few blankets, and those only such as could be spared from their homes for the occasion, and their clothing con-sisted principally of rude cloth made from Hemp, Tow, and wild Nettlebark—and as a sample nf the I'niform worn by the General Officers, it mav be mentioned, that lien. Rutherford's consisted ofa tow bunting shirt dyed black and trimmed with white fringo. From the termination of this Campaign, until iho commence-ment of the one projected against the British and Toms under Maj. Ferguson, Gen. Lonoir was almost constantly en-gaged iii capturing and suppressing tin- No irian ventured from home without bis rifle, and no one, unless his character was well known,was permitted to travel without undergoing the strictest examin-ation. Gen. L. has frequently been heard to say that, owing to bis perilous situation, he has often been compelled on retiring at night to place his rifle On one side of him in bed while bis wife oc-cupied the other. In the expedition to King's Mountain, he held the appoint-ment of Captain in Col. Cleveland's Re-giment, but on ascertaining that it would be impossible for the footmen lo reach the desired point in time, it was deter-mined by a council of the officers that ail who had horses, or could procure tbem, should advance forthwith. Accordingly, Gen. Lcnoir and his com-pany Officers .volunteered their services as Privates, and proceeded with the hors. • men by a severe forced march lo the scene of action. In tbo brilliant achicv-tncni on King's Mountain, he was wound-ed in the arm and also in the side, though not severely—and a third ball passed through his hair above where it was Iii d. lie was also al the defeat of the celebra-ted Tory, Col. Pyles, near Haw River, and i« this engagement bad bis horse shot and his sword bioken. He also raised a company and marched Inward Dan River with the hope of joining Gen. Greene, previous to Iho battle of Guil-ford, but was unable to effect a junction in time, Mauv other services id'a minor character were performed by him which it would be tedious In enumerate. In the Militia of the State be was only an active and efficient Officer, haling pass-ed through different grades from that of an Orderly Sergeant to a Major General, in winch latter office he served for about IS years. In a civil capacity also Gen. In private life. Gen. L. was no lesa distinguished for his moral worth and geneious hospitality, than in public life, for his unbending integrity, firmness snd patriotism. His mansion was open at all limes, not only to a large and exten-sive circle of triends snd acquaintances, but to Iho stranger and traveller. Al-though he has lived for many years upon a public highway, and received and on-tcrlained all persons who chose lo call upon him, he wss never known, in a sin-gle instance, lo make a charge or receive compensation tor accommodations thus furnished. In bis manners and habits of life he was plain and unostentatious. Steadily acting, himself, upon principles of tem-perance and frugality in all things, be en-deavored, both by c»ainple and precept, lo inculcate similar principles upon oth-ers. To the poor, he was kind and char-itable, and by bis Will, mado liberal provision for those of his own neighbor-hood. He had long enjoyed almost un-interrupted health, which he was careful lo preserve by moderate, but almost con-stant exercise, either on horseback or in his workshop, of which he was very fond. As evidence of his physical ability, it may be mentioned that be attended the Superior Couil of Ashe County a distance ol more than lilly miles from bis resi-dence, travelling the w hoi- way on horse, hack and crossing the IIIue ltidge, and also attended the Conrl of his own Coun-ty, a distance, of twenty-four miles, not more than three weeks In fore his death. During hit* last illness, he suffered much pain, and often expressed a desire that the Supreme Di-pnscrof all things would terminate his sufferings. He often said "Dta'h had no terrors lor him—he did not fear lo die."—His remains were inleir d 1.. discharged many high and important in the family-burying greunrijd, which 00. duties, lie was appointed a Justice ol the Peace bv the Convention which met to form the State Constitution, and was re-appointed by the first Gem r.il Assem-bly which met under its authority, lie continued to discbarge the duties of this office until Ins death, willi tint exception ofa temporary suspension of about two years whilst ho acted as Clerk of Hie County Court of Wilkcs. It is then fore more than probable, tint at the time he d(ed, he was the oldest Magistrate in the Stale, or perhaps in the United Slates.— He also filled ut d flerent periods, Iho larious offices of Register, Surveyor, i 'onitnissioncr of affidavits. Chairman of tho County and Clerk of the Superior Court fdr the County of Wilkcs. He was one of the original Trustees of the University of N. (.'..and and was the first President of Ilia Board. He served many yens in both branches of Iho Stale Legislature, embracing nearly the whole period of our early legislative history, and during the last five years of his ser-vice in the Senate, was iinaiiiimously chosen Speaker of that bodv. It mav Is i be remarked, that he discharged the duties of thai important station with as much general satisfaction probably, as was ever given by tho presiding Officer of any deliberative assembly. He was for several elected a member of the Councilof State, and when convened was chosen President of llic Board. He was so a member of both the State Convon-ons which met for the piirtMw of con-sidering of a Constitution of tho United Stales, And in the discussion of those bodies he took an active acd distinguish-part— insisting strenuous! y on the adop-tion of the amendments proposed to the Constitution, and guarding with gres jealousy tho rights of the States. Ow-ing lo the difficulties which existed a-mong the States, in the adoption of the rVdcral Constitution, an opinion pre-vailed that another General Contention would he called to revise and amend it. Th Convmtionof N. Carolina acting up-tfn this suppositions proceeded to elect five Dclcgat s lo rcpr- sent the Slate in the proposed General Conven-tion-! of which number General Lonoir was one. It is also in honor of him, that tho respectable County of Lcnoir bear* its name. These together, with many ether or r vices of a minor character, though im-portant in themselves or in furtherance of the due execution of the law, consti-tute the sum of that portion of the public burdens which has been borne bv this venerable man, for many of which hi declined to receive any compensation.— Those who knew Gen. L. will readily concur in the opinion that it is ques-tionable whether any man ever per-formed a public duty with a more punc-tilious regard to the promotion of ihe public welfare or in accordance with the requirements of the authority under n Inch ho acted. For the last several years of his life, he devoted much of his time lo reading and reflection on public affairs, and man-ifested great concern, and expressed much apprehension, lest from the sign of the times, our inestimable Government, which costs so much blood and treasure, cupies the spot while Port Defiance was orcctcd, during Iho Revolutionary War.

The following beautiful tribute lo the memory of one of the moat excellent ol women, we judge, from the initials, is from the chaste pen of Mrs. IltTcillsoN, of the l'i male Academy at Salisbury : From the WVatern lurolinian. TRIBUTE To Tin: MEMORY Of MR& OALES. The departure of such a woman a- .Mils. WiMFItrn GALES seems lo callfoi a untie* of greater length than appeared in the papers of last week ; will jou.sir, permit one' who was privileged to have a personal acquaintance with her (of long standing,) to pay a brief tribute to her memory. Seldom, indeed does the lung- ■apher find so rich * subject for bis labors as in the present instance, nor can I lor one moment doubt, but that, in due time, il will call forth the' exertions of some abler pen ; but I would seize the present moment to diffuse Iho light of her exam-ple, throughout the dwellings of your mi-tiHirous subscribers, that they, scoinajior good works, may.go and do likewise. Nature had bestowed upon Mrs. Gales talents of the first order, which the judi-cious caro of her worthy parent* had en-abled her to improve by an excellent ed-ucation and by extensive reading. It was thus, (under Providence,) she was lilted for the wide sphere of usefulness which, in future lift), sue Was destined lo fill. Early in life she was happily married, and in the diligent exercise of domestic dill'csand virtues, she enjoyed the de-lightful prospictof rearing her children in the land ol her birth, in tho midst of Inr kindred and the friends of her youth. But event", bevond her control, separa-ted her from her peaceful home, and, what was worse than this, separated tin members of Ihe family far from on* an-other. And now, floating upon the stormy deep in time of war, amidst a thousand trials—separated from her devottd bus* band, we si e a presence of mind, and ai: elevation of character displayed, which Conunnuda our wannest aduiir.it.on, The Merchantman, in which she was proceeding to America, was attacked and taken b] a privateer. She plead for the young children's sake, and pity for 'It" h< ipless group, induced tbem to pCtttll tin' ship to proce'd on her course. But the misfortunes of h«-i voyage w ■'■• not yi t ended ; she w .- not lo n ac.h ihe land of Inr adoption, Wlliloul being first conveyed lo Germany, when*, among a people ofa strange langung*, she < Xpert* etieed a kindness fhioh commanded a gratitude as lasting as I if.. But she did reach our shores—she did adopt the feel-ings and interest of our beloved country, and consistently, and uniformly alid no-bly did sin (|ef, nd ilu m—fur il was hers, during a protract, d si tison, (in which di-vine Providence laid her excellent hus-band aside from his editorial labors, and deprived him of power 'o watch over the inti rests of Ins growing family,) it was hers lo sssume tin oililonal pen, and ably dnl sin perform its si-tvicea, even while her heart WSS wrung with anguish for the afflictions of hi r husband, and while her Indeed, hand alone (muli r God) providi d for tin and endured without complaining 1 But happier days dawned upon her. Her husband was restored, and her children, reared with the tenderest care, repaid that tenderness a tboussnd fold. Bui never did she forget the days of her ad-versity. Her house was at once the school of intellectual and moral excellence and the scat of elegant and generous hospi-tality. " She knew the heart of the stranger, and how to do it good," and bow lo pro-mole social interest and virtuous refine-ment in society. Nor did she confine her liberality within Ihe bounds of her own social circle. She knew how lo send portions lo the poor, and to those for whom nothing had been prepared, and si'i k out the" afflicted and destitute in ther lowly nabitations. She rejoiced to share with the needy the bounty which Providence had bestowed upon her.— Her hand was ever open to encourage the excrtiaxts of those who had none to help them. Was any plan suggested for ihe relief of the indigent or the encour-inent of merit, she waited not lo consid-er whether it could in any way contri-bute to her own advantage, or lo find out with whom the idea bad origin-ated, or by whom patronized—her only inquiry was, " Will it do any good I" and when this point was settled, she belli ihe energies of her whole soul to its ac-complishment. Elevated, in un eminent degree, abot'e the selfishness which seek- 8th its own, she sought her happiness in doing good to all around her. Her du-lics (which were many and important,) were her purest pleasures. She diffused cheerfulness and intelligence through every circle in which she moved for her colloquial talents were of the highest or-der, and she possessed, in a remarkable degree, Ihe power of adapting lur con-versation to the capacity ol those with whom she was conversing. It may be said, in truth, that all who knew her, loved & honored her. It she gave any cause of offence (and who that lives has not done this ') she possessed liial indispu-table trail ol true greatness of soul, a willingness lo acknowledge her error, and a desire of reconciliation, which like a magic spell, had power lo transform their enmity into the warmest friendship. Il was thus she secured the regard of all and became most emin'cnily useful. But if such washer value lo society at large, in In r own domestic circle, surely she was bevond all price I—and who that knew her there dots not feel that as a Wile—a mother—a mistress—sho had ited that I could seo nothing but the land that of the post master consisted in t beautiful colors. In short, I was presenting tho said account for collet. cinat most totally lost, so completely bewildered with commingled emotions, that I could not withdraw my gaxe, nor even move. The melting eyeballs glared with sparks of fire—there was a movement—I was a-roused from a dreamy state; I saw a huge rattle snake; its gaze was disturbed, and when 1 heard the hateful rattle sound, tho full danger of my situation aroused me,& through all my frame I felt the extremity of terror; snd just as I was on the point ofolx ■• mg a frenzied impulse to rise and fly, God of Hefsen I I felt the deadly rep-tile, as I thought, coiling around my neck and tho shiver of horror went through, every joint and member of my frame.— Such a feeling of agony; my eyeballs were filled with a scorching fire; first red, next yellowish green. Oh, there sre moments of existence that involve iho sensation of years, and when the whole detail of a thousand feelings scarcely occupy the brief spaco of a lei ure thought. Nature could endure no more, and I lost all sense. Al length I had the painful tingling sensation of returning life through my veins, and when in full consciousness, I arose from the earth, I saw near me tran-quilly and quietly lying, a king snake, and farther oq the lifeless length of a tre-mendous rattle snake. I sat upon a log and reflected, and I am now satisfied thai the king snake had crept over my neck to my rescue ; there being a large log on one side, and a lake on the other, so that his nearest approach to llic enemy was over in* body. But although my life was ftrofidcntially preserved, yet ihe ef-fects of that scene are the exhaustion of a groat portion of my excitability, and tho introduction of gray hairsand prema-ture debility iu all my powers of mind and body. THE ROSE. BY Has. SIOOtKNKV. I saw a rose perfect in beauty ; it res-ted gently upon its stalk, and ils per-fume filled the air. Many stopped to gaze upon il and taste its fragrance, and us owner hung over it with delight.— I passed it again, and behold it was gone —its stem was leafless— its root had willu red—the enclosure which surround-edit was broken.

There is a species of Spake commonly called in the southern states the king snake, perhaps because be is Ihe meat formidable enemy of the rattle snake. Il seems Ibe chief object of his existence 10 seek, to pursue, and lo destroy the hit-ler, whose retreats and presence is dis-coverable by the emission of a peculiar smell, resembling that of llic cucumber tine. The king snake to almost all oth-er reptiles, is the most gentle and harm-less cf creatures ; you may strike him, he shows no resentment, he hisses not, he turns not, nor does he exhibit any ter-ror or sluggishness. Drawn by the smell ol cucumbers, he frequently enters gar-dens, bin his appearance excites no alarm in soy human being that knows he is Ihe king snake ; on the contrary, women and children will approach and turn him a-bniit with s stick, end playfully, annoy luiii with impunity; he is only a lelenl-loss enemy of the rattle snake, whose strength 'lid venom avail nothing against the activity and mode of attack of Ihe king snake, who is always victor in cvciy com1 i. Ytt -he rattle snake is a terrible rep-tile. There is a peculiarity truly appal. • ;ui' in th" sound of his rattles, biting un> like the noise of any other creature ; and when you hear it the first lime, the true .linn ofna'tire impresses on your h.arl that danger and death ore near. Never •hall I forget one horrid event of my life ! I was fishing in a southern lake one sum-mer day, when an unusual disposition to sleep afl'ectcd mc. I stuck the end ol my fishing rod in tho bank of the lake, and sought a beautiful place nf sbado to en-joy re|K>se. I laid myBcIf on the grass between two trees scarcely six feet apart from each other, my head resting against ono and my feel against Ihe other. I slept. When I awoke, I turned lo one side, and perceived al some distance from mc two brilliant orbs—and instantly a tremulous mingled sensation of an inde-finable nature came upon my faculties. Something of an instinctive dictate or im-1 on the moral si pulse counselled mc to avert my looks ; but then there was such an absorbing, wishful delight in gazing into eyes that intently and inellingly gazed into mine, that even the tremulous pulsation of fear fixed roy frame, and I remained so fas. Yet he snatched it secretly from the band ihat cherished it ; he wore in on his bo-som ttllil hung ils head and faded, and when he saw that its glory was di parted he flung il rudely away. But it li ft a thorn iu his bosom, and vainly did he seek lo extract it, for now il pierces the spoiler even in his own hour of mirth. And when I saw that no man who had loved the beauty of the lose gathered a-gain ils scattered leaves, or bound up the stalk which Iho hand of violence had broken, I looked earnestly at iho spot wgcre it giew, and my soul received in-struction. And 1 said—Let her who is full of beauty and admiration, silling like a queen of flowers in majesty among Ihe daughters of women, watch list vanity enter her heart, beguiling her lo n si proudly upon slippery places ; and be not lilgh-uiiudcd but fear.
