CAPTAIN John List.

The death of Captain JOHN LIST is
still the subject of conversation among
all classes of our citizens. As a man he
was universally popular. His many So
cial virtues his strict business integri-
ty his judicious public spirit; and the
warm hearted generosity which he dis
played during all his lifetime here, had
endeared him very closely to our people
In fact wherever he was known he COM
handed in an unusual degree, the re-
spect of those with whom he was asso-
ciated Pie following extract from the
Cincinnati Commercial displays the esti-
nation in which he was held in that city
and is just tribute to his worth as well
as an expression of the unfeigned sorrow
with which all his acquaintances have
learned the sad rews of his death At
ter recounting the circumstances under
which the fatal wound was received, the
Commercial says:
I'VE have known Capt. John List init
mately during the past twenty years.
He was noble, whole-souled, generous
citizen, an enterprising business man and
q kind ana affeetionate husband and
father. lie has been identified with riv-
er and mercantile interests over twenty
years. in the capacity of clerk. command
er ana owner Of steamboat stock and
was partner in the well-known house
of List, Morrison & Co., Wheeling, at the
tame of his death. He was one of the
mott indefatigable and enterprising bust
mess men of Wheeling, and was extern
sively known and highly esteemed all
along the line of our great rivers There
was a general gloom in river circles
when the intelligence of his sudden death
was received by telegraph here yester-
day. The colofs of the steamers were
displayed at halfmast in respect to the
memory of the deceased"

GOVERNOR PIERroINr seems to be get
ting into much disfayor among the rad
icals in Virginia and the Northern States.
We publish elsewhere a notice OF the
"Loyal virginians," who have felt called
upon to protest against his policy The
following is from the Pittsburg CONNER
cial:
The accidental executive of the shorn
Old Dominion, has swung so far toward
the rebel side of the impartial discharge
of his duties, as to create good deal OF
oppo sition among Union meo in the
Northern part of the State. A meeting
was held at Winchester on the 29th OF
June, denouncing the action of the Pier
point Legislature, and invoking the in
terposition of the General Government
in the shape of military Governor. AT
the same time Mr.. Bolts was applauded.
An address to the President was adopted,
and it is not impossible that Mr. Pier
point may before long find himself in hot
water.
