FROM THE LEXINGTON GAZETTE, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1849.

One by one of the heroes of the Revolution are passing away. Like the leaves from a stately tree, nipt by the frost of autumn, and driven by the howling winds they are swept away, till only a few withered mementoes of the glory of summer remain.

"apparent rarl nantes in gurgite vasto"

A hero and a patriot has just passed from a stage of existence. JOHN GREEN, a soldier of the Revolution died at the residence of his son Lawrence Green in this vicinity, on Saturday 15th inst., aged 99 years 6 months and 9 days-the deceased was at the battle of Germantown, served through the Southern ~~ and was at Yorktown where closed the final scene of the Struggle- Tho. his lot in life was one of humble and obscure retirement, yet as far as he known no man was more beloved and respected. He was in every sense an honest man, he was an humble sincere Christian, and through a long life had recommended religion by a confident walk and conversation. He retained his faculties of speech till the last moment of earthly existence, and he was in that solemn moment enabled to trust all to the mercy of a crucified redeemer. The tears ran down his furrowed, withered cheeks in prospect of a joyous release from the pains of this life and of a happy entrance into eternity .... A prominent trait in his character was a profound veneration for the character of Washington. He never spoke of him and his services without emotion. But his long life has come to an end. He has gone down to the grave like a shock of Corn Fully ripe. The writer of this inadequate and feeble tribute to his memory knew him long and well, and he shall ever esteem it one of the greatest privileges of his life to have known and have been the friend of such a man as JOHN GREEN.
