New ORLEANS, August 30
Gen. J. B. Hood died of yellow
fever at haIf-past three O'Clock this
morning, Reports Of his condition
were circulated upon the street
during the whole of yesterday At
noon it was announced that he was
threatened with suppression of
urine, and in the evening this la
mentable condition of things was
confirmed. By nine O'Clock in the
evening he was declared to be in
eXtremis, and two hours later your
correspondent visited his residence.
At that hour, perhaps twenty ladies
and gentlemen, including DIR. S. M.
Bemiss, had assembled on the front
gallery. The house was impreg-
mated with the Undesirable odor
which nothing but the enervating
yellow fever ever leaves, The Gen
eral was talking earnestly with a
few friends, conscious that he was
near his end, His chief solicitude
seemed to be for his children, whom
he committed to the kind protection
of his old Texas brigade.
While in the midst of conveying
these instructions a frightful nausea
seemed suddenly to seize him,
which was Immediately followed
by that fearful hiccough, all famil-
lar with yellow fever have so great
a reason to apprehend. The next
instanG stream of black vomit
poured from his mouth, covering
the bed clothing with its inky
stains, and he sank back exhausted
and speeches. to the pillow. There
was a brief interval of labored
breathing and total Inconsistencies,
when suddenly his face stiffened,
and the group surrounding him re-
allied that John b. Hood was a
corpse.
In condition almost equally
critical was his daughter Lydia, At
this time she seemed upon the verge
of the grave, but rallied, and for
short while indicated change for
the better.
When it became apparent that
Gen. Hood was a corpse it was de-
termined to bury him privately at

We have received from the pub
fishers, F. \. North & Co., Phila-

flute accompaniment ad libitum,
entitled Laughing Waters" music
by ]. C. Meininger, words by Miss
Anna Jones. This is an elaborate
composition by our accomplished
eIlow-citizen inseVeral movements.
The present fashion is followed of
constructing the melodies in the
form of the various dance melodies
now in vogue. After short intro
ductiOn moderate we have a bril-
liant movement in G major tempo
di polka, alternating with a waltz
movement in F; a very graceful
audante in y fiat being interpOsed
before the final recurrence Of the
polka movement. Well executed
by voice and flute this would be an
effective piece either for the concert
room or for parlOr recreation. Speak
ing as flutist, we could wish that
his long trill had been given on any
other note rather than + in alt,
which is a viIlainOus note for that
instrument to shake on.

CitV Council.

Excepting routine business, the
following are the principal transac-
tons of the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen On Tuesday night:
John S. Elder, Esq, applied for a
license for his hall. The license is
at present only asked for single per-
formances at so much per night.
Application will ultimately be made
for an annual license, when we trust
that some abatement will be made
in the present oppressive rates.
Ordinances passed their first read
ing prohibiting the existence of
slaughter-houses within the corpo-
ration limits, and prohibiting the
hitching of horses to shade trees.
The Street Committee was in
structed to fix a gutter on Gupton's
Hill, to be paid for by the inhabi-
tants, who will be credited on their
tax dues for 1879, the expenditure
being limited to the amount of those
dues.
The proposed right Of private
sewerage granted to individuals on
Franklin street by the Street Com
mittee was not confirmed. The
Street Committee were ordered to
fill up the ditch which has been
constructed.

ing exclusively to a male school,
Prof. Tate has nothing to retract in
his praise of mixed schools, where
the preparations are extensive en-
ough to justify the expensive de-
partment for girls. Not willing that
the standard shall be lowered, and
believing that the interests of young
men will not suffer, he proposes not
TO enlarge his school arrangements,
but to throw all the embellishments
possible around the male school,
having introduced vocal and instru-
mental music, and the military
drill. He may expect a large at
tendance and a rich reward in the
June crop of refined and cultivated
young men, for which the institu-
ton has been celebrated.

THE Paris (Tenn.) Gazette, of the
Sd inst, has the following notice of
of the death of Mr.. J. B. Townley,
formerly a citizen of this county,
and an old subscriber to our paper:
At his late residence near Conyers-
vile in this county on Friday last,
August 10Th, at o'clock, A. NJ, in
! the g. year of his age, James B.
Townley. He had been failing for
e0me months, and but a few hours
before his death sank rapidly until
relieved.
Mr.. TOwnley was born and raised
in Essex county, Virginia, and
moved to Todd county, Kentucky,
at an early day. From there he
moved to near GAINESVILLE, Tennes-
see, and engaged in the tobacco bus
mess with Mr.. Barker. While in
Montgomery county he met and
married Miss Fannie Smith, who
survives him. In 1847 he moved to
Henry county, where he engaged
largely in the tobacco business,
prior to the war, and which, under
prudent economy, yielded him
handsome fortune, most of which
was swept away by that unfortun-
ate conflict. Since the war he has
engaged almost exclusively in farm
ing, and as a farmer or tobacconist
he was a success. AS a husband,
father, neighbor, or citizen, he was
all that could be aslzed-ever kind
and indulgent to the wants of his
family, punctual in all of his LIES
obligations, liberal to the poor and
unfortunate, kind to the distressed,
out-spoken as a citizen. His los
will be seriously felt by those with
whom his lot was cast. We in
course with a host of others tender
our sympaty to the distressed fami-
ly and friends,

is an iron cross intended as monu-

ser, who was killed at the tunnel at
MuldrOw's hill last July by being
run over by a train. This elegant
structure is entirely made of ham,
mered iron, the work being done
entirely by the hand. 1t is all dove
tailed together without welding,
the joints being so finely fitted as to
be almost impeFoeptible. It is in-
tended to surmount handsome
stone monument and will be one of
the most elegant ornaments of the
city cemetery.

gen. Hood.

The death of Gen. Hood, from
yellow fever, will awaken stirring
memoirs among many of those who
participated in the civil war; and
outside of his own original COM
mand none of the boys in gray will
remember him more affectionately
than our own soldiers of the Four
teenth Tennessee, for those brave
fellows have many time stood
shoulder to shoulder with Hoods
Texans, and especially on the mem
orabIe occasion when the Fourteenth
shed its first blood. This was dur
ing the retreat from Yorktown, in
the spring of 1862, when the Fede-
rails landed a division to cut off our
supply train, which was defeated by
Hoods Texan brigade, aided by
what was then known as AndeTson's
brigade, consisting of the First,
Seventh and Fourteenth Tennessee
regiments. The subsequent course
of events frequently brought the
Texans and Tennesseans together on
many a bloody field, and now that
the gallant hero is dead, leaving a
very large family doubly orphaned,
all very young and all in a helpless
state of restitution. We hope to
hear of many a contribution from
old comrades as soon as a systematic
is organized, which we
hope will soon be done. The old
Fourteenth was never behind in
advancing on the enemy; they will
not flicker when called upon to help
a friend.

arrived it became apparent that his
daughter Lydia must die, and
shortly before noon she breathed
her last.
AT o'clock to-day the Assccia-

to their last resting place. The flu
neral was attended with no display

tor. A great regret is expressed
that the General at the critical time
did not secure a more experienced

death of Pheasant Bagwell

Death of Pleasant BagweIl, Esq.
We have to record this week the
death of one of the most respected
of our old citizens. Pleasant Bag
well was born, in the early years of
the present century, near Lynch
burg, Virginia, but moved in early
youth to this county, which has
ever since been his home. He was
the last of seven children, on not
one of whom rests the faintest stain
of dishOnOr, he himself being one of
those upright business men for
whom human laws are needless;
their own principles fortified and
elevated by religion are sufficient
law. He was a consistent member
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church for thirty years. His friends
remember him as pure, genial,
hospitable gentleman, who could
always be relied upon whether the
demand was for strict integrity or
abundant charity.
His funeral ob5equies, under the
conduct of the Rev. H. l. Burney,
were attended by a large and SYM
pathetic congregation on Wednes-
day last.
We shall be glad if any of Major
Bagwell's surviving friends will
furnish us with more detailed
statement of his life.
