How newspapers were issued in the War of 1812. --Our venerable brother of the Macon Messenger relates the following.

For many years he was the only architect in Virginia, and the principal edifices in the city and country were either wholly or partially planned by him. When living here, he was to the mechanic a guide and a friend, and was universally beloved by them. As a parent, he was noble, generous, and unselfish, and lived and died without an en
