Death Of an old settler.

1t beGames our melancholy duty to record
the death Of Mr.. William G ,usar, SEN,
which took place at his late residence OF
Hickory Creek, on last Saturday morning,
after a brief Illness. Mr.. Cougar was in
his I9,h year; and was one Of the earliest
settlers tf this county. His funeral took
place on Sunday, and was attended by a
vast concpurse of people. An able and ap+
propriate funeral discourse was delivered
by the Rev. S R. Beggs, the we'll known
pioneer preacher.
Thus another of the old settlers OF this
county has been taken away. Thirty years
ago, when this country was exclusively the
habitation Of the red man, he built his cab
in and made his home near the place where
his late residence now stands. What
changes have taken place since then. The
wilderness has been converted into teeming
cities, thriving villages and beautiful farms
and railroads and canals have taken the
place cf the Indian trails.
Mr.. Cougar lived to see his children es-
tablishcd in business and provided with
comfortable homes and occupying high po-
sitions in the respect and esteem Of the
communities wherein they reside; and wal
fully prepared for his change. As a citi-
zen and neighbor, he was model worthy
Of emulation. His honesty, fraukness,
kindness of heart and benevolences were
proverbiai throughout the county. Ever
the friend Of the poor and the needy, his
memory will be cherished by warm hearts
in long years to come. Truly, good man
has gone to his rest.

Most of them live in hOuses-sOme even
own some. and few of them can speak
the English language, and instances have
been known where they both read and
wrote it. They are allowed to vote, nn-
less the "visible admixture" is too strong
in several of the States, and the Govern
ment has been somewhat indebted to them
during the present war, for small loans OF
money and slight contingents of men and
provisions. 1t is much suspected that the
President and several members of the Cabi-
net, and a majority of both Houses of Con-
oress. are strongly tinctured with their no
tons as TO the unity of our Government
and the supremacy of the Constitution
However deplorable this fact may be, 1t is
nevertheless true, that several thousand
intelligent and loyal citizens OF Western
Virginia and East Tennessee, are Impress

that nine members of Congress from Ken

ri, and a couple of Senators from Virginia.
set in close proximity to some of these
monstrosities, and vote the same way with
them. MIR. Etheridge, of Tenn, holds an
important Office under them. Mr.. CHrlile
voted for one of them for Speaker. It'll al
so true that several hundred Bell-Everett
men, Douglas men and others hold Post
offices, Murshalships, Surveyorships and
other responsible places under them,
and that these places had not to be forced
upon them either. 1t is amatter of record
that Judge Summers and other distinguish
ed gentlemen of Western Virginia held,
uutilrecently, sentiments quite analagoust to
those which they now hold. John Letch-
er, for instance, signed pamphlet known
as the Ruffner pamphlet, of which, per-
haps, the gentleman from Lewis county
may have heard. Phillip Doddridge has
the reputation OF having entertained much
the same views that these monsters now
hold, and old Henry Clay said good ma
ny things that have made it ia question
for the debating schools" whether he was
not tainted that way himself.
But enough for to-day. We can't spend
time teaching Mr.. Arnold his letters. Our
advice to him is to do as the celestials
from Japan did, journey around among
some of those heathens for whom he has
such a horror. Let him hold up his clothes
ever so tight as he passes through them, he
will return n much wiser and more liberal
minded man, and much better fitted to oc-
cupy the place he holds as a member OF
the House of Delegates.

From Richmond.

Our eyes were yesterday delighted with
n COPY of our ancient friend, the Richmond
Wig, of July 9th. The Wing is no more
the rollicking, saucy, we'll edited paper
that it used to be. 1t is ever so dull and
tired looking now. We miss old Bob
Ridgeway at the helm. He writes no
more, we are told. The paper is filled
with old stale news, copied from the
United States papers," as the Seceshers
are wont to call all papers published out
of the "Conthieveracy." The home news
is scarce; no notices of movements of
troops-especially, no notices of any vic
tories. We publish letter from Laurel
Hill, taken from this number. 1t is about
the only piece of much interest in its col
umns, if we excep: biting rebuke to the
correspondents of the New Orleans Della
and Charleston Mercury, who, it seems,
have been accusing the Richmonders and
Eastern yirginians of doing the shabby
thing, so far, in this war. The Wing says
the correspondents alluded to, have been
"indulgiug themselves in carping criticisms
at Virginia" And this is beginning to
breed trouble, and the trouble is begin
ming to grow bigger and bigger every day.
The correspondents believe that Eastern
virginians are no great shakes of people;
that, as a class, they are rather pusillani-
nous; that they are not even very good tofur-
nish provisions; in fact, that they are good for
nothing. We agree with the correspondents
and hope they will not be rebuked by the
Wing, but that they will write fully and
freely, and write often, and always send
us marked copy of their letters. The
Eastern Yirginians arc just about as they
picture them, poor, run down, run out,
run to seed, do-less, thriftless race, good
for little else than breeding niggers. They
stand to us over here just like the Bour-
bons (recently driven QUIT did to Italy
and we are prepared to cast off their yoke
after the same fashion. They have plum
dered and oppressed US until we are all as
sick of them as we can live, and nine,
tenths of US hope that Uncle SANS army
will drive them out, clean out, clear down
to the cotton swamps, and fill up theil
places with people that have plenty Of
good sense and are some account to the
world.
