10 our Mexican news the reader will hnd an
account, of the death of Col Louis d. Wilson. II
comes in authentic shape that we have no -rea-
son for hope that it may turn out otherwise. He
is dead-a gallant son Of North Carolina, who
abandoned the sweets of domestic life, and the en-
joyment of an ample estate to perform that which
be conceived to be.his duty to hIs country n


Col. Wilson was not a man of brilliant talents,
but be was much above mediocrity, and his ASST
duty and integrity in the various important Sta
ions which be filled, commended him to the high
esteem Of his fellow citizens. He had reliable
Judgment, conscientious perception of right and
much frmness of purpose. His manners were pecu-
Larly agreeable-equally devoid of haughtiness
and The Frenchi6ed fIippery so popular with many.


Ii he was somewhat of a warm politician, it is


be attributed to the ardor of his feelings and not
10 the corruption of his principles. We have been
With and against him 10 the political arena, and
never found that he permitted political hostility TO
encroach upon the boundaries Of social kindness
or personal amenity.


We join with those who most deeply regret the
tath Of Col Louis d.. Wilson, and sincerely
gnpslhize with his afflicted family. To the peo-
PIE of his own county, Edgecombe, the loss will
be severe; for there his usefulness was appreciated
and his worth acknowIcdgcd by those who knew
him intimately in all his sociai as we'll as political
relations: 97's9l Wilmington COmmerclGL,
