Autobiograph of Judge Long-
street.
I was born in th#Citv of Augusta,
State of Georgia, in the year 1790.
Here I resided under the parental roof
to my eleventh or twelfth year, when I
had a joj’ous release from school, by
the removal of my fattier and family to
Edgefield District, South Carolina.
Here I passed two or three happy
years, when I received the sad tidings
that I must go back to Augusta to
school. Up to this point of tune my
highiest ambition was to out-run, out-
jump, out shoot, throw down and whip,
any man in the district, and I was giv
ing fair promise of attaining my ei ds
( n the main, at leas') when the heart-
sinking order came that I must go back
to my hated penitentiary—for such I
regarded the academy; and such it
really was to me, in the primitive sense
of the term. It would be amusing,
saddening and instructive to tell how I
came to conceive such a hatred for the
school-room, but I have run too much
into detail already for the occasion, and
it would be entirely out of place here.
However, having gone so far, I must,
for iriy own credit’s sake, go a little
farther, ajid state that it was not fiom
Iaxit v of morals, or incapacity of mind,
tuat I was considered by my precep
tors a dunce in several of iny academic
studies, from the books but into rnv
hands, without the help of my teachers,
‘so called;’ and I could not teach my
self, because I did not undersiand the
language in which the book-rules were
given, and, of course, cou.d not under
.-tand the rules themselves. AH thai
I did understand, I stood fair in, and
in some eveu nigh; and, alas! my
proficiency here lobbed me of even the
indulgence which the dunce should al
ways receive, but hardly ever receives;
for it led my masters t > believe thai
iny failures were the result of nothing
_but laziness, obstinacy or anything else
than would pa*s off punishment from
anger es punishment for fault.
While undergoing this discipline,
chance threw me under the same roof,
and choice inio the same bed, with
George McDuffie. He devoured every
book and newspaper with ^greediness
that he colud lay his hands on. As he
could read these truly at night, and as
I could not separate myself from him
in his leisure hours—as he seemed to
regard it a privilege and relish to have
a boon comp mion to imbibe knowl
edge wiiti loin, ai d as he seemed to
think, and perhaps did think, that I was
as greedy of learning ay he was—he
always read aloud. This was at first
irksome to me, then tolerable, then de
lightful.
Thus I acquired mvfi'St taste for
reading, and this was of incalculable
benefit iq me; bull derived a still
greater benefit from mv constant in
to rci use with thjs bright youth. I
observed that when we read the sail e
books and papers, he always knew
twice as much of their contents as I
did. I determined to • match him if
possible, and I commenced reading with
care, and in a measure studying what
I read. Thu* I learned the only kind
of reading which is of much value.
This episode is not impertinent to our
subject, (vide ‘Review Perry upon Cal
houn.’)
Ai the end of about two years, wast
cd at the Richmond academy, I was
notified that I must take up the line of
march back io South Carolina, to the
celebrated school fo the Rev. Dr. Moses
Waddel. I went, and in a short time
began to understand what I studied,
arid w hat I had committed to memory
under former instructors, and an entire
‘change came o’er the spirit of my
dream.’ Arithmetic, Latin and Greek,
had been my stumbling-blocks and my
detestation; but now they gave me no
trouble.
Nay, so far from it, when studying
the classics under the shade of the
beautiful beeches which grew near the
woodland seat of science,J I actually
ft It a touch of the inspiration with which
Virgil opens bis deathless song.
At the end of about three years from
my introduction to this school, I took
my leave of it for Yale College; en-
rteredt it. in 1811. graduated in 1813,
and went immediately to the law school
of Jsidgtslieeve & Gould, in Litchfield.
Here I sat tor a year, off and on, under
tlie ministry, q£ the Rev. Lyman Beech
er, father of the renowned Ward and
Harriet. There was another daughter,
more to be pitied than these are to be
b anted. Her name has been brought
annually, a; least, and tenderly to riiy
memory for about fifty years. If she
lives she will excuse thiapublic notice
of her;' if she be dead, I have no care
what her surviving brother and sister
may think of it. She was betrothed
to Alexander FL her, of my class, a man
the like of whom It takes-the world a
century to produce. From the day
that he entered college to the day that
he graduated, he never missed but one
question in any branch of science,
taught in the institution, and if he was
before, as he was after I entered the
das?, he never hesitated two seconds in
giving his answers. He was elected
Professor of Mathematics in Yale Col
lege soon after he graduated, was sent
to England upon some business con
nected with the college, was shipwreck
ed and lost; and thus Miss Beecher
lost a union of, perhaps, fifty years, with
the brightest genius that I ever saw,
and I believe the brightest that Ameri
ca ever produced, blended with as love
ly a moral character as any American
ever tore.
Two years that I passed at college
were among the happiest of my life.
No graduate of Yale ever left her halls
with a warmer love for every member
of her faculty than I had, or a tender
er regard for the people of New Ha
ven. If parting tears never dried up,
and he who sheds them could always
recognise them, I could point to many
witnessesof this truth. The first gusli
of them was in that same No th Church,
while listening to the address of the
valedictorian of my class. The highest
transport that I ever felt from vocal
music was in this church. The first
college exercises ever held in iL were
Lhose of tlie junior year of my class. 1
witnessed the budding, or rather re
building of it.* I have said that I loved
all tlie professors of Yale, but the one
that I admired most of all was Ben^*
jam;n Sillirnao. He is the only one with
whom I ever interchanged a lettter.
I left Connecticut just before the
meeting of the Hartford Convention,
and returned to my home in Georgia.
Was admitted to the bar iu 1815, and
commenced practice under very flatter
ing auspices ; was elected Captain of
the 398 District Company of Georgia
militia. Married and settled in Greens
boro’, Georgia, in 1817 ; went to the
legislature in 1822 ; was raised to the
bench iu 1822 ; was a candidate for
Congress, with the certainty of election,
in 1824, when I lost my first born, as
dear to me as was Absalom to David.
This loss turned my thoughts from earth
to heaven—not so much to heaven’s re
unions—and I determined to seek it,
hut in a way of my own, without the
help of churches.
I took down my name for Congress,
and entered upon a religious course of
living. In 1827, with a changed heart,
I joined the Methodist Church, and in
tlie same year moved back to my na
tive city. Practiced law in Georgia
and South Carolina, the Circuit Court
of the UMited States, and represented
a case or two in the Supreme Court. In
1833, I took charge of a newspaper,
(Democratic.) In 1838, I abandoned
the profession of the law aud entered
the Methodist ministry, (some of my
brethren at the bar predicting that 1
would be in the Lunatic Asylum in less
than two years.) In 1839, I was sta
tioned in Augusta, and happened to be
the only minister in the city except Mr.
Barry, (afterwurd Bishop Barry, of the
Catholic Church,) when the yellow fe
ver appeared in Augusta, for the first
time, in awful malignity. And now in
that city was exhibited a spectacle which,
if religious sects were not thc most un
compromising in their differences, and
the most incorrigible in their errors of
any people under the sun, would be
worth a thousand sermons to the church
and the world L general. Here were
two. representatives of churches differ
ing from each, other as far as it is pos
sible for classes to differ, acknowledging
the same rule of faith ; forced by a
sense of duty to be co-laborers in the
same field of charity. Mr. Barry was
untiring in his attention to the sick, the
dying and the dead, and I tried to be.
Of course, in our ministrations we .met
every day, if not every three hours of
the day. At first \\e met with friendly
salutations, then with a few words of
conversation, then with warmer greet
ings, and more prolonged and friendly
conversations ; aud, finally, with mutu
al demonstrations of brotherly love,
which I believe were sincere on both
sides. Mr. Barry occupied a large
house, two spacious rooms of which—
the one above the other below—he turn
ed into a hospital. It was open not
exclusively to Catholic patients, but to
all ; and was free to my visitations at
oil hours. It was soon full. The max
imum number could have been little, if
any, sort of fifty. How could he take
care of so many persons ? lie brought
up from Charleston a corps of the Sis
ters of Charity ; they attended to the
living and he to. the dead. If th.e world
ever produced a more kind, attentive,
patient, indefatigable set of nurses than
these, I never saw them. I am inclin
ed to think that Mr. Barry, upon one
occasion, condescended a little below
the line of Catholic toleration, in com
pliment to his “psalm singing.” Meth
odist friend, (so a Cathlic priest once
called us in derision, greatly to my
amusement,) Mr. Barry meeting me
one day, said to me “There’s one of
your people brought to the hospital,
will you go and see him ?” “Yes,” said
I, “I’ll go right away,” and we went
together. He conducted me to the bed
of the sick man, and stood by while I
conversed with him. At the conclusion
I asked him if I should pray with him.
He answered in the affirmative—I
knelt, and Barry knelt with me, and, at
the conclusion of the prayer, we sent
out “amensU t,o heaven together. Now
if there is a.Sftember of any church of
^Christ wliq ia.n.Qt tenderly and pleasant
ly touched with this picture, he is out
of his place, and a.disgrace to any place.
What do you think of it Mr. Heiuzen?
(See my first Article.) I was a pretty
delusion, wasn’t it ? which led these
two men to believe that there La real,
existing, all-wise God, who made and
rules the world, and who had comman
ded them to visit the sick and the afflic
ted, and minister to their wants, spirit
ual and temporal. There was a pleas
ant harmony, was there not ? between
their faith and their actions, when in
utter ignorance of the* fact that the
world made itself, they bowed down to
gether in worship and adoration of their
supposed God, addressing him in the
hearing of these terrified sufferers, un
der the name of Father, as a kind, and
mereiftil, and sin-pardoning God. It

was a very ingenious and pardonable hit
of priestcraft, ’ was it not? in them to
tell these helpless creatures that there
was a world of eternal bliss beyqnd the
grave which could be reached without
any effort of body or limb, that'they all
might hope for, till they ceased' to
breathe; and that there was a heaten-
boru Mediator between God and man
who would lead them thither, if they
would with contrite heart and unwaver
ing faith put their trust in Him. "A
I have mentioned the loss of‘my’first
child. It occurred w hile I was Tiding
with nay wife’s mother, and her'seedtrd
husband. A more affectionate hus
band, a kinder father and step father
never lived—a more blameless charac
ter I never saw. He was a Christian.
I was an infidel. Ou the day or day
aher my child was buried, his wife died-.
What was my loss oompared with hi?
My grief was actually dangerously se
vere. For four or five days after tjie
death of my son it seerrfed as if my
head would rend asunder with pain,
and I said to my physician, “Doctor, if
you do not dosornetuing for me I shall
be a madman iu a few dajs.” “Time,”
said he, “judge, is the only physician
for your disease.” But there was n
physician. The great Physician—whq
and did heat my disease, long before
lime could have done it.
Morning and evening would mv be
reaved household friend go down on his
knees and acknowledge our afRibtions
assent of God, and pray for strength to
bear them submissively, and that they
might be sanctified to our soul’s eter
nal good. "I would g.ve a thousand
worlds,’’ thought I, “if I could believe
the scriptures as that man does; their
fruits are lovely, to say the least of
them. And may it not be that my un*
belief is my own fault. I am very ig
norant of the scriptures; I never be-
siowed an houi’s study ou them with
the honest aim of ascertaining their
truth, in ali my life. Iain resolved
that 1 will seek religion, and I will
.*eek it just in the way those who knomj
most about it, tell me to seek it. Tan-
uouuced resoluiion to my wife, and
then announced it to her step-father,
and told hun that thenceforward ^
would share family prayer with biro.
Tears of joy now filled his eyes, and
my tears of grief ceased to flow. I
cjmmer.ced siudying the scriptures ia
earnest, praying God if they reafly
ere true that 1 might be convinced of
their truth. I had studied them not
more than a fortnight,, before I began.
'0 find in them some wonderful evi
dences of their divine origin, which I
wondered the world had never discov
ered before, and which I afterward?,
learned were from two to fifteen hun
dred years old. Ail rny doubts soon
vanished, and I became a thoiough be
liever in Christianity. I knew' noth
ing of t ie lext upon which I base my
challenge to yo^ infidel, but I unwit^
tingly verified it. Will you follow'my
example? No, you will not, and
Christ tells you why you will not.

word) “that light is come into the
world, and inen loved darkness raither
than light, because their deeds were
evil.” Here I must close for the prts*.

What Fals hair Can do.—A feiiv
days since a youth who had been whee
dled into a marriage which bis subse
quent judgment could not approve,
commenced a suit for divdfcee. When,
the wile heard of it she was naturally
indignant, and demanded of the youth
ful Benedict to assign areasonablevause
for his proceedings.
‘You are older than I am,’ he said.
‘You knew that before we were mar
ried,’ was the indignant answer.
‘Y'ou pad.’
‘Everybody does, that^sir.’
‘You wear false teeth.’'
‘Certainly I do, but that is not
erirne.’
‘Therein, more make up about you
than reality.’ “

‘Your hair, chignon and waterfall
weigh more than you, do.” 1

‘Well, it’s a dead woman.’-

Quotation,, sir, is a great thing; there
is a community of mind.in it; classical

Knowledge in general expands the
mind, exalts the faculties, refines "the
taste of pleasure, and opens numerous
sources ot intellectual enjoyment: —
Robert Hall.
Integrity is the first moral virtue, be
nevolence the second, and prudence ie '
the third ; without the first the two lat- '
ter can not exist, and without the third
the two former would often be rendered
useless.—
Some of the most stirring men in the
world, persons in the thiekof business
of all kinds, and indeed with.the busi
ness of the world itself on their hands*
have combined with ihairotherenergie?, .
the greatest love of books, and found
no recreation, at once so wholesome
and so useful.—Leigh Hunt.
