DEATH of a GOOD MAN and a VALUABLE CITIZEN -- It is with [illeg] that we chronicle the death of Judge G.C. HAVENS. He died at his residence on Lindsay Point in this city yesterday. Deceased was born in Essex county, New York, Aug. 28, 1808. In 1835 he removed to La Porte, Indiana, where he resided until 1853, when he came to California and took up his residence at Shaw's Flat, Tuolumne county, where he remained until June, 1861, at which time he came to this city and assumed the duties of the office of Receiver of the United States Land Office for this District, to which he was appointed by President LINCOLN, and which position he continued to hold until the time of his death. He was one of the first who espoused the Republican cause in California, and was twice nominated on that ticket it Tuolumne and each time run far ahead of the vote of the party, so great was his personal popularity, at a time when the political principles he warmly espoused and to which he firmly adhered, were very unpopular. No words of ours can fully express the sorrow felt by his large circle of friends, at this sudden and unexpected decease. Those who have known him longest and most intimately, most keenly feel the loss of a sterling man and genuine friend. He was a man of acute observation, quiet demeanor, fine feeling, generous nature, strong sympathies, devoted friendships, and all the actions of his well-spent life were marked with the strictest integrity, honor and purity. Unobtrusive and retiring in manner, his friends increased in number as his acquaintance extended, and we do not believe that he even had an enemy. When the hour of his departure came he was ready to go, and departed in peace, his spirit filled with the assurance of receiving the full measure of the reward which awaits the just and upright in a better world. Deceased leaves a wife and son, who have the sincere and heartfelt sympathy of the community at large in this, the hour of their sad bereavement.
