Death

Died at Blakely (Alabama) 6th March last, Col. Samuel Hawkins in the 44th year of his age, late Agent of the U.S. under the Treaty between the U. States and Great Britain.  Col. H. had for the last eighteen months been in the employ of Government in erecting fortifications at Mobile point.  His zeal and perseverance, through qualifications peculiarly adapted to his engagements, led him to an exposure which terminated his earthly existence.  His sound constitution had resisted an attack of the yellow fever, but eventually yielded to a malignant local fever of the Country.  Col. H. supported the various employments of the country in a manner which justified the confidence of the Government in his talents and integrity.  His private friendships were warm and faithful and in the more endearing relations of life, his loss will be felt with all the keenness and sensibility which departed worth inflicts.
