The Southwest.

PULASKI COUNTY, VA, September 2G, 81.
Editors Dispatch : c. Ii. Causey, the Re-
adjuster clerk Of the Senate, seems to have
been specially called to "write up" a solid
Southwest for his sinking cause. Cameron,
Paul, John S. Wise, and Riddleberger hay-
ing failed, It remains for the clerk OF the
| Senate to save this section-on paper.
Listen how, in the Wig OF the oath, with
one sweep OF his pen, be carries the whole
Southwest "The Funders cannot safely
RELY on electiDg a single delegate IN the
Ninth district, and every senator will be
ours. - Trench will sweep Giles
snd Pulaski"
Now, | propose to speak for a section
whose people | knOiD- Pulaski and the sur
rounding counties. The Funders will carry
Pulaski and the adjoining counties OF Mont
gomery, Wythe, Giles, and Carroll. II Mr..
Csusey desires a demonstration OF this
faith, / will engage to get & gentleman to
bsck ms judgment with S%500-Sl00 on each
county. Now, in language more expressive
than elegant, "money's what talks" But
listen TO Brother Causey's "rOmancing"
" Riddleberger's progress through this dis.
trict cas be likened only to a triumphaI
march. Well could be use 10 sending his
report to headquarters the words Of Cesar
In his memorable letter to the Roman Sen.
ate after sweeping like a whirlwind through
Gaul: Veni, pidi, Vici."
That's pretty, amt 1t? Pity to spoil it,
He must have been reasoning from cause to
effect thus :: Cans(ey) was elected clerk OF
the Senate by the dictation OF Malone,
therefore the Southwest will be solid at the
dictatien Of Malone. See? But that para
graph was written from E~stillyille, in Scott
county, county claimed TO he a " BAN
ner" Readiuster county. Riddlebergel
spoke there the day it was written. and &C.
cording to the local paper the crowd
numbered-One hundred! Bat ii rained
Oh, what a ddmper a little shower
puts upon the enthusiasm Of the PEG
pie who should come 10 hear THU
young Caesar on his "triumphal march ,
through the Southwest This was indeed
an occasion for a dispatch TO "headquar
tiers" announcing victories for the her,
who so much resembles his Roman protO
type-m his dispatches. Causey is decided

Services expressive OF respect to the mem

Thursday morning the 22d at IL O'Clock. A
most appropriate invocation and prayer was
made by Rev. DR.. Peck, OF Union Theo'
logical Seminary, and an address was de-
llyered by Rev. DR.. Dsbney. After intro
ductory remarks suitable TO the occasion,
the Doctor spoke

crime OF assassination. and Of the loathiDg
and condemnation 1t ought universally TO
receive.

tween the effort to destroy reputation and
the effort 10 destroy life itself-that indul-
gence in the first, as exhibited In u pres

John Paul was present bis friends insisted
on his speaking, and nj side, OF course,
could not prevent il.

which he propounded some telling ques'
tons to The Malone champion. He SAID 10
Paul: You claim 10 be an Independent

cond. Tell this people, as you say you are a
a Liberal, are you IN favor OF mixed schools
and altering the crimical code OF Virginia
as desired by Shed. Dungee in the last Gen
eral Assembly. Paul failed to reply, and
could not be induced to answer a single
question. Coleman pressed him hard, but
be was dumb as m oyster.
The speech OF Captain Paul received
some applause from the Radical officials
from Farmyille, and some OF The colored
people appeared 10 be with him; but the
great body OF the whites and many OF TIE

the fair, candid, and uDansweraOle argu'
