DIED, At the residence, of his son Daniel W. Shine, in Twiggs county, Georgia, on Sunday 11th March, after an illness of ten days, Mr. JOHN SHINE, in the 73d year of his age. The deceased was born in Jones county, North Carolina, in the year 1759, and devoted a part of his youth to the service of his country, in the revolutionary war, under the command of Gen. Caswell, and was at the battle near Camden S. C. in 1780. His recollection of the events of that day was perfect almost to the last hour: the portly figure and animated countenance of Baron De Kalb and the bleached locks and early flight of Gen. Gates, on that occasion, were vividly retained in his mind and described with peculiar interest. Mr. Shine left the world as few have done before him, -without an enemy. His conduct through life was that of the scrupulous and just and upright man-his heart was the abode of the kindest and most generous affections and those, too, constantly indulged among a large acquaintance, besides his children, grand-children and great-grand-children. O'er the tomb of such a man his posterity may weep, but not without hope, calm and serene, yet conscious of his fate, he closed his own yes and resigned his spirit without a groan.
