RESIDENCES OF THE FIRST SETTLERS OF WA
TAUGA.-James Robertson lived on the north
side of the river, at the upper end of the islasd
on lands since the property of a. NJ. Carter,
Esq, deceased, late of Elizabethton. Valen-
tine Sewer, Jun, at one time lived where Mr..
Hickey now resides, opposite n. G.. Taylor's
store. Valentine SEWER Sen, owned the land
now occupied by Mr. Hart Col. John Carriers
residence was about half a mile north Of Eliza
bethton, on the property still owned by his
grandson, General James T. Garter. The house
of Mr.. Andrew Greer was on Watauga River,
about three miles above Elizabethton, near to
the place where Henry Nave, Jun, now lives.
Mr. Greer was an Indian trader, and at very
early period, perhaps 1866, came with Julias C.
Digger to the West. They are believed to be
the first white men that settled south Of what
was afterwards ascertained to be the Virginia
line. After them came the Robertsons, John
Carter, Michael Hyder, the SEWERS, Duniains,
McNabbs, Mathew Tolbot, the Horizons, McLinns,
and Simeon Bundy. The latter of these was
the first settler on Gap Creek. His house stood
near the Big Spring, the head of that stream.
Soon after the arrival on the Watauga Of the
emigrants above named, came the Beans, the
CobbS and the Webbs, and subsequently, the
Tiptons and Taylors. Julius G. Digger lived
and died at place still owned by his heirs, and
known as Dugger's Bridge, fourteen miles up
the Watauga from Elizabethton. Mr.. Horton
lived at the Green Hill, little south Of the
Watauga Springs. Joshua, his son, owned the
present residence of Samuel Upton, and anoth-
er son, Richard, lived at the place now occupied
by Mr.. Renfro. Charles Robertson lived on
Sinking Creek, on the property now owned by
John Ellis. Ambrose Hodge lived where VIM.
Wheeler now resides, on the road leading to
Jonesborough, from Elizabethton. Mr. Honey
cut, whose hospitality furnished the first home
to James Robertson, lived about Roane's Greek,
near the Watauga Evan Shelby lived and d.
ed at the place now known as Kings Meadows,
in Sullivan county, near the Virginia line, where
his grave is still pointed out Micheal Hyder
lived on Powder Branch, a mile south of Wat
auga His son has built his present residence
near the site of the old mansion. James Edens
settled near the Big Spring on Gap Creek, the
place now occupied by his son.
The first mill erected in all the country, was
or Buffalo Creek. 1t belonged to Baptist Nc
Nabb, and stood near where David Pugh since
lived. About the same time, another mill was
built by Mathew Tolbot on Gap Creek. The
property is now owned by the heirs of -

"OFF WITH THEIR HEADCr"


This, may well be imagined, was the sub
stance of the first general order issued by Pres
ident Pierce to his Cabinet headsmen. "Off
with the head of every whig and make room
for our clamorOus partizans, five hundred thou
sand OF whom, don't You see, are swarming up
to the Capitol" Ifsuch was the order, the Tel
egraph by every flash, brings ample confirma-
ton that it is being carried out with wonderful
alacrlty. The guillOtine is swinging fast and
free, and the blood of the victims spout as red
ly and copiouSly as though Robespierre himself
were slgnal-master to the deadly work of decap.
ltaton.. Forty heads, it seems, fell in one dav
in the Treasury department alone, beneath the
flashing axe of the fierce Mr.. Guthrie; and
host OF others had, on the eth, rolled away from
the bloody machines worked by the other exc
cutlonerS. AT the present rate of slaughter, ev-
cry wing ofiice-hoder will be made to bite the
dust within the next twenty days.
But who expected anything else? Who does
not know that prescription for opinions sake
has ever been cardinal tenet in the faith and
practice of the party which has just vaulted into
power? Gen. Pierce is only doing what we
knew would come to pass in the event of his e.
lection. The pressure from without, whatever
may be his own intention, will not allow him to
do otherwise than to make sweeping and ndis-
criminate removals from Office of every body Of
a different political faith, whether personally
worthy or unworthy. He is only doing what,ds
a matter Of mere party policy, Taylor and Fill
more should have done, but sCoRNED TO DO, not
only because contrary to their party creed, but
because inconsistent with the eternal principles
of truth and iustice.-Nemphis Eagle.

Or I'd never think of having you.
But i you fool me, it's not the first
That have taken 'lor better or for worst"
And if you should have an empty purse,
I'll give YOU "gingerblue."
I now have got YOU by the waist,
And the whole of it amounts just to this:
If you begin to screw and twist,

WAR BETWEEN HONDURAS AND GUATEMALA.
We learn from the Gaceta de Costa RIGA that
war is actually going on between the States of
Honduras and Guatemala. The origin of the
difficulty is alleged to be the the troops of the
latter had invaded the territory of the former
Government and committed various outrages
last November; and there being no probability
of a peaceful settlement, the Guatemalan army,
under Gen: Carrera, had marched to the from

WATAUGA.

The typography Of Watauga has become in.
teresting, and the modern visitant to that early
home of the pioneers of Tennessee and the
West, fingers around and examines. with in.
tense curiosity and almost with veneratiou. the
places consCcrated as their residence or their
entombment. The annalist, partaking deeply
in this feeling, has used every effort to identify
these localities. He has made more than one
pilgrimage to these timehonored and historic
places. In all time to come they will be point
ed out and recognised as the abode and restiar
place of enterprise, virtue, hardihood, patriat-
ism-the ancestral monument Of real worth and
genuine greatness.
"Watauga Old Fields" already mentioned,
occupied the site Of the present Elizabethtau,
in Carter county. Tradition says it was once
an ancient Indian village, of which, when Mr..
Andrew Greer, an early hunter and explorer,
first settled it, no trace remained but the clear
ed land. In confirmation of that tradition it
may be remarked, that short distance above
that place, on the south side of Watauga River
and Immediately upon its bank, an ancient
cemetery is seen, in which are deposited quitea
number of human skeletons. x
"The Watauga Fort was erected upon fls
land once owned and occupied by an old settler,
Mathew Tolbot. The land is now owned by
Mrs. Eva Gillespie. The fort stood upon
knoll below the present site of Mrs. Gillespie's
house, in bottom, about half mile northeast
of the mouth of Gap Creek. The spot is easily
identified by few graves and the large locust
tree standing conspicuously on the right Of the
road leading to Elizabethton. Let i ever be
saclilege to cut down that old locust tree-grow
ing, as it does, near the ruins of the Watauga
fort which sheltered the pioneer and protected
his family-where the soldiery of Watauga
fought under Captain Robertson and Lieutenant
Sewer, and where the Courts of the Assacia-
ton were held, and evenhanded justice was adj
ministered under the selfconstituted legislature,
Judiciary and executive of the Watauga settlers.
Besides the fort proper, there were near, and
within reach Of its guns, court house and Jail.
These were, necessarily; of the pairest strue-
ture, being made of round poles. In 1882 the
former was convered into a stable.
Higher up the river, and on the north side of
it, near the closing in of ridge, upon low fiat
piece Of land, stood another fort. The land was
then owned by Valentine Sewer, Sen, now by
Mr.. Hart. On Doe River was third fort, in
the cove of that stream. The ParkinsonS fort
ed here. The farm is now owned by Mr. Hamp-
ton. Carter Womack had fort near the head
of Watauga; its exact location is not known.
During an outbreak of the Indians, men were
sent from this fort to protect settlements lower
down the country. Another fort stood near the
mouth of Sinking Creek, on land now owned by
Bashero, then by OVERWHELMINGLY History
Of Tennessee.
