= Suicide at Pensacola. From the letter of cor
respondent at Pensacola, we learn thatqute gloom
has been thrown over that place by the self des-
truction of venerable and much respected citizen
Of The place, Judge GARNER The following ex-
tract from the letter exhibits a calmness and de-
liberation in the purpose of the deceased, which
is perhaps without parallel:

/. Our old friend, Judge GARNER, committed sui
eide last night, (Sept. 10y by drowning himself

to several Of his friends, and which were dated
some time back, it appears he had for some time
past been making his arrangements to commit the

debts and bury him decenty He wrote a few
lines at midnight 10 Dr. Smith, which he gave TO

bed, and directed where every thing might be
found He sewed two large bricks in a towel
and tied them to his back, and pinned a towel over
his breast and back and walked down to the end
