Death of Capt. w. G. J. Burrus.

1t is with regret that we announce the
death of Capt. William G. J. Burrus. who
died suddenly at his residence in this vicinity
on Wednesday morning last. 25th inst. His
disease was apopleXy, and we learn that he
only survived about five minutes after he
was attacked. He was between forty and
fory-five years OF age at the time ofhis death.
For many years of his life he bore cOnspicu-
Gus part in the politics OF Rutherford county.
He was a gentleman of very fair talents. In
early life he studied law, aud practiced for a
few wears in MurfreeSborO, but possessing an
ample estate aud preferring the quiet life of
a farmer to the vexatiOns incident to a pro-
f ssional life, be ahand onedsthe law and retired
to large farm which he owned in this
vicinity. In lS43 he was nominated as the
Wing candidate tor the Representative Branch
of the Legislature and was elected. He was
reelected in 1916 and in 1917. After the
close of the session of 1918, he gave up
pu bic lite; and refused to he candidate for
the Legislature in lS49. But owing to the
earnest and pressing solicitations of his
political friends he was prevailed upon to ac-
cept nomination for the State Senate in
1851, and was elected without opposition.
During his legislative career he served his
constituents faithfully and in a manner to
meet with their universal appreciation. Af.er
the close of the session of'5l-2. he renowned
public life entirely. and resided on his estate
until death. Though he was no more a stan
dard bearer in political contests, he still took
an active interest in the politics of the day
aud kept himself thoroughly well informed in
regard to all the movements of the day.
Capt Burrus' literary attachments were OF a
high order and his social qualities rendered
his company always pleasant and agreeable.
He had many warm personal friends who
will deeply lament his death. He was never
married. MYgfrees6oro Telegraph.

that we were marching at this moment to the
independence OF Italy, and that such was
the reason of the war.
The honorable member added with regard
to the internal policy of the country there
could be between the Government and him
self no agreement so long as France should
/ remain bowed beneath the existing system.
III. Baroche said that such ~ expression
should not be tolerated. France was not
6oUed beneath the existing system. 1t should
rather be said that, under the present regime,
France had erected herself And the Presi-
dent of the Assembly remarked that Mr..
Favre in employing such language, had for
| gotten that the present Government had been
hailed by an immense majority of the people
| in manner the most striking repeated.
Mr. Favre replied that bis only intention
was to express frankly his opinion on the
war. IT that opinion was shared by France
and the Government, whatever might be the
divisions which separated him from the Gov
F, eminent in the matter of its domestic policy,
he would be energetically with it in opposi-
| ton to the enemy.
| The debate, went on in this vein at consid-
cradle length, but the President, evidently.
was anxious to bring it to a close. The Bill
as has hitherto been announced, was voted
| unanimously.
The significance of the discussion is in the
| fact that there are intelligent Frenchmen in
| the Legislative Councils of the nation, as
much puzzled to know what the war is about
or what it is for, as people who are neither
| Frenchmen nor members of the Legislative
| Council.

Virginia Election.

The Telegraphic Reporter for the Nashville
most meagre and unsatisfactory accounts of
the Virginia election. He seems to have
taken no interest himself in the result of that
contest and to have taken itfor granted that
the public here maintained Ike indifference.
His reports afford nothing on which to base
any opinion as to the general result.
Several private dispatches were received
on Friday night and Saturday, which we
print elsewhere this morning, and which in
dictate that there have been great changes in
the public sentiment since the election OF
1856. 1t is conceded that Mr.. BOTELER has
triumphrd over c. J. Faulkner in the 9Th
District. Several other Districts were con-
sidered doubtful at noon on Saturday-but
nothing definite has been received. A des-
patch was received from the Richmond Wing
on Saturday Is in the gain of GOGGIN on
the vote of FLoURNoY in 1855 at between
1000 and 5000 Another despatch from
Louisville, states that in sc counties where
BUCHANAN carried 10000 majority LETcHER
has only I,S00. What counties these were is
lot stated.
II the result should be similar in the re-
manning half oc the State. GoGGIN is triumph
ant. AT 10 O'Clock Saturday night des-
patch was received at the Union and american
Office, and published in that paper yesterday
morning, which states LETcHER's majority in
81 counties heard from. to be LOO with a
&c
other despatch says the Enquirer claims
LETCHER's election by from 5000 to 5000.
This is about all that has been received in
this city up to yesterday morning. We think
it probable LETcHER is elected by small
majority.
never wavered in her support of the Demo-
cracy, but is the Malakoff of the party-with
out going into an analysis of these returns
enough is known, to show that the "Oid
Dominion is deeply moved against the
party in power. There is a falling off from
the Buchanan vote of 10000 to 5000 This
of ITSELF is scathing rebuke to the admins
tration, aud to tie party that sustains and
upholds it. If they have done no better, the
Opposition have achieved great work-a
work equivalent TO victory in Tennessee or
Kentucky, which should inspire us with re-
newed ardor, and nerve our arms to still
greater efforts.
p. S.-The Louisville papers by the mail
of yesterday report the respective majority in
Is counties named. We have compared them
with the vote of 1855, in detail, and net
gain for GoGGN of 1867 is shown. All the
details we have yet received favor the cleo
ton of GoGGIN.

FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY.-Oh Wednesday
last. 24th inst. Lafayette Epps wac shot and
killed by man named Duncan Roberts,
near Rock Spring. in this country. The
parties had met in the woods and there was
no other person present excerpt it was thewite
of Roberts, and she denies being near. The
firing was heard By a man named Lassiter
who was ploughing in a field hard by. who
recognized The voice of Roberts. Three shots
were fired, and it is evident that two of
them were by Roberts with a double
barrel shot gun as Epps' body was almost
riddled. there having seventy shot entered il.
one charge entered his stomach and abdomen
aud the other his shoulder. When found h. was
dead with arevolver lying near him. Roberts
was tried by E-qs. Beatty and Brothers and
committed to jail. Epps was tried in our
Criminal Court few years since for causing
the death of a woman by shooting. which
occurred accidentally as he fired at her hus-
band, he was then sentenced to Imprisonment
in the Penitentiary for ten years. He appeal
ed TO the Supreme Court. but pending the
taial of his cause he broke Jail. W. believe
the case subsequently dismissed. The
quarrel between him and Roberts originated
from alleged improper intimacy with Roberts
wile.--HurfreeSbOrO Telegraph.
