Death of a Good Citizen
   The painful intelligence was received in this city yesterday of the death of George W. {A.} Cuyler, who died at Munich, Germany, on the 12th ult. The deceased had been for a number of year the Cashier of the Central Railroad Bank of this city, the duties of which position he discharged with the utmost fidelity and ability.
   In the death of this gentleman, Savannah has lost one of its best citizens, and our commercial circle one of its most valuable and practical members. His whole life has been one of usefulness. Possessed of a high order of intelligence, remarkable sagacity and great energy, he, at an early age, became a prominent and successful business man, and his purity and integrity of character won him the honor and confidence of his fellow citizens. Who that knew George W. {A.} Cuyler can ever forget his kind, genial manner his warm honest clasp of the hand, extended as freely to the poor as to the rich; his ever welcome salutation as he met friend after friend in the pathway of life. He was not one of those fitful, varying characters which meet us so often in our intercourse with the world; but one day found him as another -- the same warm and devoted friend.
   Thus has passed away an excellent Christian, and kind and good man, and a useful citizen, whose life has benefited his fellow men, and whose death is a great loss to the community. Peace to his ashes.
