END OF A VARIED LIFE.-Mr. Sam'l A.
Hyatt, a young man about So years of age
connected with the Revenue department
OF this district, died suddenly at the Col
onnade Hotel on Friday afternoon last.
The immediate cause of his death was apo
plexy. produced doubtless by excessive dis
sipation. Mr.. Hyatt was man of splen-
did family and noble traits of character,
brave and generous to fault. He was the
son of Gen. Joab Hyatt Of Greensboro, N
g. His mother was sister of the wife of
the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, and he was
full cousin to Judge Settle of n c., who
! was chairman of the Philadelphia Repub-
lican Convention that made the second
nomination of Grant for President AT
| the age of sixteen he entered the Naval
| Academy, and was there at the time with
Mr.. Daniel Trigg of this place, who speaks
| highly of his frank and generous DISPOSE
ton. In the war he was attached to a
inch soldier. He was met by Mr.. Trigg
at Drury's Bluff about the time of the bat
| tie of Seven Pines, in which he doubtless
took part. After the war he attached
himself to travelling circus as ''balloon
man" making ascensions daily. At Knox
| vile, Tenn, he met with an accident, fall
ing out of his balloon and injuring himself
severely. lie was after that employed in
the Baryta mines of G. G.. Goodell, in
Smyth county, as overseer. performing his
duty in most creditable manner. Lat
terly he was attached to the Revenue force
as depHty Marshal, making, with all his
faults, an efficient office. His death last
Friday, occasioned the deepest sorrow
among his fellow officers, who in the great
est respect. contributed to his burial ex
penses. and followed him with sorrow tC
the grave.-Abimgdon Va.) Standard.

The BLUE AND THE GRAY.-Two of

One, joe Lewis by name. Il noted moon
sinner, of North Carolina. was in the Con-
federate army; the other, Henry Widner,
OF this county, was a Union Soldier.
While in prison, awaiting trial, they IN
dulged in many bitter political discussions
over the "unpleasantness." Col. Jno. G..
Summers was emplo, ed as counsel in both
cases. When the sentences we're being
passed, Wldnsr requested the Colonel to
call the attention of the Judge to the fac t
that he had been true and faithful
Union soldier, which was done. The
Judge replied that ''for that reason he
should have been a better citizen," and
sentenced him to the peniten tiary for one
year. Lewis, the more notorious of the
two, got off with one month in Jail. Turn
ing to Lewis, Widner said, 81 don't see
why he sent me to the peniteutiary and
not you" '.Tlat was because you was a
id Yankee" replied Lewis, land he

AS some impor lance has been given to
the defeat of G. W. Ward, opponent of the
bill for the settlement of the debt, by C..
F. Trigg, advocate Of the bill, in the cleo
ton in Washington county for Common
wealth's Attorney, and as the Richmond
"Whig' claims that county meeting Of
Readjusters had previously decided not to
make this question an issue, we copy, as
bearing on the subject, the following from
the Abingdon ''Standard," published at
the county seat of Washington:
"You are mistaken, Mr.. "Whig.'' If
any such action was taken by the -Ad-
justers' in this county. they kept it fear
fully quiet. To the contrary, the ques
ton was urged and argued at every public
speaking that was had, and we heard M
merous 'sjusters'' say they felt bound to
stick to their party. The people, however,
did not follow the lead, though it was
drummed at them on every occasion. If
the VINDICAToR don't know, it can know
that every effort and appeal possible was
made to draw the line on which to fight
the battle.

The Rockbridge ''Enterprise' says the
friends Of Readj ustment did not make the
issue in that county except on Supervi-
sors, and for that Office they had can d.
dates in five of the six districts, the result
in those five districts being that they elected
John Gibson, Sam Gibson and w. A. Will
son, while the s'funders' elected John
Mckee and Bolivar Leach. Mr.. Barclay,
a friend of the debt settlement bill was
elected without opposition. On the popu-
lar vote in the five districts contested the
Enterprise" claims majority of go for
the Readjusters. Taking these statements
as basis and considering the complexion
of the Lexington district and the strength
of its vote, the friends of the debt settle
ment bill will have little difficulty we
should think in electing representative. OF
their views to the next legislature.

TIE COUNTY REP
TON,

In reply to correspondent who gives
us permission to leave his letter imprinted
if we do not think it's effects will be for
good, we have to say that we have taken
that course with it. Not that we think
the subject of town and county represen-
tation in the matter of Staunton and Au-
gusta should not be discussed, but that
when discussed it; should be in proper
spirit and when the question is practically
up. For our own part we do not see the
practical benefit to the county in making
that issue. 1t would not be an easy mat
ter to point out a delegate who has been
sent from the town that has not been to
all intents representative of the county,
and the weight of whose legislation has
not been in favor of those people who live
in counties. But, on the other hand, it
the county people want delegates who are
residents among them there is no earthly
reason why they should not have them, and
no cause that we can see, except their want
of unanimity, that they do not get them.
Hereafter there are to be two delegates
and one senator from Augusta and Staun
ton. Supposing that convention is to be
held, which is customary in the year be-
fore the Presidential election, the strength
of the county in that body compared with
the city is as 1857 to $50. There should
be no trouble then in the former getting
the men it wants. But we suspect the
main obstacle is the divided state of Opin-
ion in the county itself. It is often the
case that one township will be solid for its
man while in the very adjoining township
they don't want that man atall but an en-
tirely different one. Again. certain
quarter of the county favors one man while
another quarter wants a man from
it's own locality. The result is that
the friends of each candidate try
to make combination with the city vote,
which is oftener solid than otherwise,
and the log rolling possibly ends
in electing some one who, while very pop
ular in his quarter Of Augusta, is not the
man that the whole county would have
chosen. In free race it is pretty much
the same way, only worse. and the town
can easily pick ont not only its own IA
yorite, Ebut also name who shall 60 from
the county.
We cannot see the good results OF re-
elimination, and reproaches against the
town until the county people have been
deprived of some candidate on whom they
have agreed among themselves. When
ever they do that they can name their men
and walk over the track with them.
