Another Veteran gone.

--Matthew Seay, one of the few remaining veterans of the Revolution, departed this life a few days since, at his residence in Henry county, at the advanced age of one hundred and four years. It is said that the old warrior was so much exercised over the present war and his inability to engage in a second struggle for Freedom, that a general prostration of his system was the result. Quietly and calmly he breathed his last, with a blessing upon the Southern forces in the field. He has gone to reap the reward of his labors. Peace to the manes of the patriotic dead.--Dan. Reg.
