It is printed throughout on new type, and presents a very handsome appearance, while friend Thomson accustomed editorial ability and tact makes it, as heretofore, one of the most interesting papers in the State." Athens Messenger BURNED BUT NOT DEAD. "We welcome back to our exchange list the Meigs County Telegraph. Friend Thomson deserves the highest commendation for his untiring energy, in reviving his excellent paper so soon after having hiss office entirely consumed by the devouring element." Portsmouth Tribune. THAT FLAG Since last Tuesday, we have heard a great deal said about a black flag that was in the procession on Tuesday. Those who lie the hardest about it, know all about the history of that flag, and they know they lie. The flag was made in Chester, by the ladies of that town, in the year 1840, and was first used at the District Convention held there on the 17th of June, of that year. The material of which it was made was blue or plum-colored silk, and the lettering was in gold leaf. The material was purchased at Branch’s store, and cost, we understand, over thirty dollars. It was pronounced, by all parties, at that time, the handsomest flag in the county. A beautiful eagle, and the following inscriptions, in glad leaf, decorated its ample folds: “RESISTANCE TO TYRANTS IS OBEDIENCE TO GOD;” “THE UNION REDEEMED US – LET UNION PRESERVE US.” Time and exposure had changed its original color somewhat; but those who denominated it a black disunion flag knew its history, and some of them had more than once admired its beauty.

Wall, well known to many of our reader, (having frequently practiced in our courts) died, at his residence in Georgetown, Brown county, O., on the 17th instant, of Consumption. For some months previous to his death, he was editor of the Brown County Democrat. During our short acquaintance with the Major, we observed beneath his rough exterior, many admirable qualities of heart and mind. He was eccentric, and, like other men, had his faults. But these, we imagine, were errors of the head rather than the heart. His worst side was always exposed to the world. To appreciate his real worth, you must have known him intimately.
