ATLANTA. GEORGIA.
Sunday Horning. December 29, 1861
DEATH OF PRINCE ALBERT
The Telegraphic news of the 20th instant
was no! received by us, owing to a qerange
nunt in the lines between this city and
Macon. From out exchanges, therefore,
we copy the news of the 26th instant, in
our paper of to-day. By it we notice that
Prince Albert is dead. We deeply sympa
thise with tne Queen and her family upon
their loss. Asa wife and mother Queen
Victoria will long be remembered for her
virtues and her examples. As the head of
the British Empire, towards the old United
States, she has always desired to maintain
friendly relations, as we trust she will with
the Confederate States of the South. Any
calamity that may affect her immediate
household, should lie cause of regret to all
woe can appreciate the domestic virtues ot
England’s Queen.
DIRECT TRADINO COMPANY
Here is an example worthy of imitation !
We are reliably informed that it is the in
tention of the Direct Trading Company of
Georgia to set aside a certain per centum of
its annual profits, for the benefit of the
families of those Southern Volunteers who
have gone into the service. This will be
done so long as the Company exists, the
funds being placed at the dis|H>sal of the
different Slates for equal distribution.
The move is a good one, and most op
portune, and should be emulated not only
by corporations, but by private houses. The
men who arc now fighting the battles of the
Confederacy, have a holy, paramount, and
perpetual claim upon every man at the
South, and it would be grateful to them to
know and fuel that the sacrifice* of “home,
kindred and friends," which they have made
aud are making, are duly appreciated by
those whose butane**, that of making money
in the main, keeps them at their comforta
ble homes.
SOMETHINU WRONG
The Savannah Republican says, if Gov
ernor Brown has vetoed the Act icpeuling
the law of 1806 which prohibits parties at
fault in cases of divorce from marrying dur
ing the life time of the plaintifT, it has “no
hesitation in saying he deserves the tliauks
of every friend of public and private virtue
throughout the State.”
Braise of Governor Brown or any of his
acts, coming from a quarter where the bit
terness of old party hostility still dwells,
aud from whence fierce fuliniuations against
him liavocomo ever since Gov. Brown was
first elected, indicates to us that “something
is wrong” with the Republican. We won

COL THOMAS L COOPER.
Tribute ot Respect
Atlanta, December 97,1861.
in nccnriirtoicc witn previous notice, the
members of the Bar of this city met to pay a
tribute of respect to the memory of our late
friend and brother, Oof. Thomas 1,. Cooper.
Upon motion of Oof Krsklne, Judge Wil
iiam K/./.urd was called to the Ohair, and
upon motion of M. O. Blanchard. Esq., Win.
L. Calhoun, Esq, was appointed Secretary.
The Chairman having explained the object
of the meeting in a few appropriate remarks,
upon motion of Col. Logan E. Bleckley, u
committee of five, consisting of Col. Logan
K. Bleckley,Col. James M. Calhoun,Col. Jno.
Collier, Greene B, Uaygood, Esq., mid Col.
Amos W. Hammond, was appointed by the
Chairman to prepare and report a preamble
and resolutions suitable to the character
and memory of our deceased brother. The
committee, through Col. Bleckley, reported
the following preamble and resolutions,
which, upon motion ot Col. Uamiuand,
were unanimously adopted:
Again we are called on to lament the de
cease of a brother and a friend. Thomas 1,.
Cooper is no more. He has been lorn from
his family, liis[fiiendsjaiul.hiscountry, iu the
prime of life, and in the midst of a bright
and useful career. Spared by disease of the
camp, and unharmed by the bolts ot battle,
he has fallen, at last, the victim of an unto
ward accident, aud ina few moments of time
has measured the awful interval between
health und death. To lose such a man
would give deep jwin to his surviving friends
under any circumstances, but the manner of
his death intensities their sorrow. Had lie
IK-en wasted by disease, his departure would
have been only a submission to the common
lot ;or had he boon slain in battle, the im
mortal halo of a soldier's fall would have
overspread his memory, aud perhaps the
consolatory reflection would have remain
ed, that though gone from us forever, liis |
life had not been yielded up without high I
cost to the enemies of his country.
But we should no more repine at the a- j
gencies by which Providence inflicts us than i
at the seeming afflictions themselves. No
doubt it was good in the eyes of Jehovah,
not only that our brother should Ik- taken j
from us, but that he should perish by the !
insignificant means which terminated his I
existence. Let us bow in devout resignation
to the will and the ways ot Heaven.
It is a mournful pleasure to sketch the life
and delineate the character of our departed
friend. He was the eldest son of Hon. Mark
A. Cooper, and was born in Katouton, Put
uaui county, Georgia, on the \ ’Hay of
1861 The circumstance* ot hi* pureut* en
abled them to provide liberally for his edu
cation. aud the instruction of good school*
and private tutors was followed by his en
trance into Franklin College, where he
graduated, in August, (849, with the high
est honor*.
Being destined for the liar, the same cure
wa* shown for hi* legal, that had Ik-cii be
•lowed iq*til* academical trainiug The
late J edge Coin-, of Ufeen*t oro, who wu
roafhtsedtyone ot Uie most able lawyer* of
Georgia, Was m>U-< u-4 Ur guide hi# kludie*
and prepare him for lot a tmwMoo to the Hal
in the «Blt* us Judge Cone he carried out
not the scaut and superficial course of study |
which is frequently made the basis of admis
sion, but wide ami thorough research Ixith
into the rules and reasons of elementary
law. Here it was that he laid the founda
tion of the strong and solid fabrics of legal
learning which his genius anti industry af
terwards reared. In 18-10 he was admitted
to the Bar, and in the autuuni of 18-12, he
settled in Atlanta and commenced the prac
tice of his profession. From his first ap
pearance in Court it was plain to every ob
server that he was predestined to succeed ;
success was inscribed on his very air and
liearing, and the slightest glimpse into the
temper of his mind vindicated the claim
which his manner seemed to assert. With
rapid progress he opened his way to the
front rank of his profession. Young though
he was, the veterans of the Bar were over
taken, and many of them outstripped, by his
cool, calm and ceaseless perseverance. Day
by day, and term by term, his practice in
creased, until lie was among the most busy
and most gainful of our number. Ills a
pleasing reflection, that as he resided through
his whole professional career, in Atlanta,
the most of us beheld the first dawn of his
promise, its subsequent maturity, aid its
final triumph. With characteristic steadi
ness he clung to the original home of his
choice, and achieved success in the first and
only field of his effort.
fu the winter of 1854 he was married. —
His wife was Miss Mary Pope, daughter of
Alexander Pope, Esq., of Washington, Ga.
From this happy union sprung four child
ren, one of whom died in infancy; the other
three survive to share with their disconso
late mother the terrible bereavement which
an inscrutihle Providence lias ordained his
beloved family to suffer.
By Executive appointment lie became, in
1857, Solicitor-General of the Coweta Cir
cuit, to fill the vacancy of Edward Y. Hill,
Jr., resigned; and in January of the next
year lie was elected by the people for a full
term. Without disparaging his predeces
sors, it may lie truly asserted that he proved
himself a model Solicitor, and acquired in
the offlee the utmost credit which it is ca
pable of bestowing. It had never been fill
ed with greater diligence, tact and ability.
In the quiet discharge of his official du
ties, und in attention to a large and lucra
tive practice, he passed the lew following
years, until the present great struggle in
which our country is engaged, drew nigh.
He was among the earliest anil most zealous
advocates of secession, after Mr. Lincoln’s
elevation to power had extinguished the
last hope of the South within the Union,
anil by his activity and influence contribu
ted in no slight degree to shaping the opin
ions of his fellow citizens on the same vital
queition. Although he never sought for
himself any political preferment whatever,
he invariably took a lively interest in poli
tics, and was a leading and influential mem
ber ol his party. Both his eloquence mid
his pen fount! frequent employment in up
holding the measures which he deemed es
a'ntiiil to the government of the country,
f Not long after the access.on of Georgia,
he was chosen Captain of the Atlanta Greys,
an artillery company which h.»J been form
ed and maintained for some time under the
auspices of Capt. A. 11. Wallace. Prompt
ly accepting the position, he set manfully to
work to qualify himself for its duties, and
soon acquired u minute and extensive
knowledge of artillery exercise. Under his
curehil und labored instruction the company
rapidly attained a fitness for active service,
and the war now being fairly begun tenders
us service were repeatedly made to the Go
vernment, but for some reason were not ac
cepted. With a patriotic ardor that could
not brook delay, the company, supposing
that the way to the field might be opened
by discarding artillery and organizing them
selves into an infantry corps, proceeded to
do so, and this change, of course, devolved
upon Captain Cooper the tedious labor of
mastering another system of tactics. He
met the demand with characteristic vigor.
In a few weeks he found himself in com
mand of one of the finest mid best trained
infantry companies in Georgia. Every im
pediment to admission into service now dis
appeared, and in May last the company
took its departure to enter at ltichmond into
the glorious Eighth Hegiment, commanded
by the Immortal Bartow. Promotion met
our friend upon the very tlireshhold of his
military career, lie was appointed by the
President Major of the regiment, and in
that character lie served down to, and
through the memorable battle of Manassas.
The fiery terrors of that day tried his cour
age to the bottom, and proved the stern and
dauntless metal of which it was compound
ed. A braver spirit never struggled on a
field of death. During a large part of the
action lie was tiie gallant leader of the regi- j
ment, both his senior officers having been j
shutdown. It is needless to sav that he ap- j
proved himself worthy of the proud posi
tion.
Shortly after the battle he was again pro
moted, being raise.l to the rank of Lieuten
ant-Colonel, and we have been informed
that only a few days before his demise still
higher rank was conferred upon him by his
grateful country. But, alas 1 neither merit
in himself, nor the honors which clustered
about him could shield his life against the
trifling casualty that was to be its destruc- j
tion. A fall from his horse, which hap
pened on Monday, Dec. Slid, at or near
Centreville, Virginia, terminated, with
shocking abruptness, his earthly course.
It remains to portray in brief the great
leadiug traits of the man whose history we
have so imperfectly sketched.
Viewed simply as a man, his character
was invested with alt the dignity which a
commanding |>erson, a noble mind, a Arm
will and a *|*>lh*s life could impart to it.
Intellectually lie stood upon an elevation
whieh few men of hi* age have approxiuia
led With a i leal and steady light hi* un
derstanding surveyed the ladder object* of
thought, ot explored the Ulan iutru-acic* of
acieutifii truth A broad, sate, *oh I com
tu-a* M-tiar was biseb'cf unutal charnclei i*
1 1 Acute though he wa*. hr w*« never in
danger of hairsplitting distinctions, nor of
vain and empty refinements of logic. He
went straight to the substance of things,
and disdained to linger among shadows aud
phantoms. At all times and under all cir
cumstances he retained a calm and manly
possession of his faculties. He nev<r lost ■
himself, nor suffered even a momentary i.
lapse of f>ower, from surprise, excitement,
or any other cause. He was not a giant to-1
day and a dwarf to-morrow, but ever the !
same vigorous, safe man of intellect. Hi“ j
energy was almost heroic. He urged him-M
sell with unshriuking perseverance to tue*l
murk before him, and grudged no toil that
might be necessary to reach it. In morali
ty, he was a model for imitation. We are
unable to recall a single bad habit which he
had formed, or a vice in which he indulged.
Purity, based no doubt, on the highest prin
| ciples, marked the current of his life and
practice. He was of a bright and genial
temper, always cheerful, animated aud
kind. Perhaps his intimate friends alone
knew the exhaustless depths of tenderness
and sympathy which lay within his heart.
It was to them, and especially when attend
ing them in sickness, that lie fully revealed
that side of his noble nature.
Asa citizen and member of society he
possessed the rarest worth. With almost
chemical affinities he fell into close union ‘
with the community around him. It vi*s|
not in hfs power to stand apart and see
with indifference the various schemes of
progress and improvement which might tie
sought to he realised by his neighbors and
fellow-citizens. He threw himself prompt
ly into every public enterprise, and became
an important agent in shaping its destiny.
Long will he he remembered by the inhabi
tants of Atlanta for bis noble exertions in
behalf of numerous interests of the city, es
pecially that of education.
Asa lawyer he stood above all reproach,
both in the ethics and the courtesies of tlie
profession. Towards his brethren ha was
ever, in spirit and in conduct, a gentleman;
nor can we forget that he was also the agree
able, and frequently the witty and amusing
associate anil friend. His legal knowledge
was extensive and profound, accurate and
clear. It is difficult to say in what
ment of practice he appeared to the best ad- 1
vantage; whether in expounding principles
of law to the Court, or in discussing before
a jury the facts of a cause, and showing*
tneir relations to legal rules. In both he
seemed gifted with a rare and felicitous
power. Always argumentative, never de
clamatory, he yet rose often to strains of
thrilling eloquence.
Dared vve, in this sorrowful hour, conteiu-’
plate him in the tender relation of husband
and father, we would find still higher excel
lencies to adorn his character and hallow
his memory; but vve will forbear to touch
with rude hands the sensitive ties which
bound him to wife and children, aud which'
now, alas ! are broken forever more.
Reeolted, That in the deuth of Col. Tho *
mas L. Cooper, a brave soldier, a patriotic
citizen, an able lawyer, a good man, a dntjj
ful son, a tender and affectionate husbauos
and father lias departed. ,
Rceoleed, That vve tender to his wife and
family, upon the afflicting bereavement
which they have sustained, our heartfelt
sympathies.
llexolced, That the Chairman report the
proceedings of this meeting to the next
term of the Superior Court of Fulton coun
ty, and to the next term of the Supreme
Court to be held for this Judicial district,t
und that u copy of the same be furnished to
the wife and father of the deceased.
Reeolved, That the Chairman appoint a
committee from our body to co-operate with
the family und friends in the reception of
the remains of our brother, upon their arrl-1
val in the city, and in attending to the in
terment of the same.
Upon motion of Col. Hammond, all the;
members of the Bar present were appoint*!

of the fourth resolution. On motion of

PLANTERS CONVENTION OP THE SOUTH.
To the Delegates Appointed to the
Planters Convention at Memphis, on
THE THIRD MONDAY IN FEBRUARY, AND
to the Planters of the Confederate
States.
The third annual session of the “Planters
Convention of the South’’ was to have as
sembled in the city ot Memphis, Tenu., on
the I6th of December. Circumstances made
it advisable to post|>one this meeting until 1
the 3d Monday in February, when it is hop
ed every delegate appointed will be in atten
dance.
The number of able and distinguished
gentlemen already appointed by the Legis
latures and Executives of the several States,
justifies the belief that the approaching ses
sion is to be one of the most interesting as
semblages ever held in the South.
The first Planters Convention convened
ftt Nashville, Teun., Oct. 10th, 1859. The
second annual session was held in Mississip
pi, Oct. 16tli, 1860. At the last session a
plan of permanent organization was adopt
ed, its declared “object being to secure, by
united action of llie Southern people and
States, the advancement of the agricultural,
manufacturing and commercial interests of
the South.”
The overthrow of the old, ami the estab
lishment of anew Government, compel*
the Southern planter to abandon the suicid
al policy of the past. It will be for this Con- 1
vention, composed of delegates from every
Congressional District, and representing the
great and leading interest of the Confeder
ate Slates, after a free and full iutrrehange
of view s, to inaugurate that system of policy
be*l eah-utal'-d to promote tlieir own and
their country’* prosperity. Herr the lobsc
ot corn, wheat, rice, »ug*r and cotlou pi*
dm-er a ill m<H in council A common coun
try to sustain, c tutu**u lutnssi* so promote
we can by united action do much to ad
vauoe tlsc political aad commercial indepen
dence of the South.
_,Wliilc agriculture is acknowledged as the
great basis of our social, political and com
mercial power, we must retuemlier that the
prosperity of our manufacturing and com
mercial interests are essential to our futute
greatness, and we should, therefore, secure
the cordial co-operation of those engaged in
these pursuits.
I The war now being waged in defense of
Se great principles of self government must
nd, sooner or later, in placing the C’onfed
rate States among the great nations of the
-world. With a territory almost boundless,
soil rich and fertile, productions the most
valuable, a climate adapted to the growth of
almost everything desired by man. a labor
system best suited to our climate and pro
ductions, and a people united in feeling and
interest, we have all the elements that con
tgtitute a great and powerful nation. To se
cure political independence we confidently
«rely upon the brave hearts and strong arms
of our gallant array. But to make the tri
-umpbof Southern arms more valuable to
the present and future generations, it is nec
ressary that all our efi'orts should he directed
to the development of our great resources.—
1 N<| more dependence upon Yankee brains
or Yankee hands is and must be the watch
word of every tiue hearted Southron, and
Bhat statesman who will indicate tiie best
•policy to be adopted will win laurels as un
fading as the chieftain who drives the inva
der from our soil.
It is unnecessary here to allude to the ma
ny questions suggested for the consideration
of the Convention. The Legislatures of sev
aral States have adopted resolutions in refer
ence to the planting of another ctop of cot
ton, the crop of this year being still in the
hands of planters. By the 3rd Monday in
February, the planters, in Convention, will
be better prepared to adopt a course of poli
cy dictated by the circumstances that may
then surround us.!
No delegate it is hoped will be absent from
this great council of planters. Every plan
ter who appreciates his own and the condi
tion >f his country should feel it his duty to
have his Congressional district represented.
To have each State properly represented
in the standing commute, it is desirable that
the undersigned should be furnished with a
list of delegates at the earliest moment.

Met»rn. hlditum :
As the alarm of fire is so common in At
lanta, may not your citizens profit by the
great fires in other cities, where, what was
once the pride of the country, large por
tions have past away in smoke and ashes ?
The wealthy men of this city ought to im
prove the lessons before too late. Let every
old combustible wood and pitch pine build
atound and about the Trout House, be
ptom down and brick’ones In their places
erected, and other parts in danger.
To-day, when the fire was raging’between
this House and the Masonic Hall, we were
Providentially preserved, by the wind be
ing in a favorable direction. The require
ment to erect brick, or fire proof buildings,
may cost an additional expense, but will
prove very profitable if it is the means of
saving the other elegant buildings. Enter
prising citizens take this measure in hand;
heed the lessons that the fates of cities can
not learn. Let no tinder looking huts re
main. Atlanta may be saved from destruc
tion, and millions of dollars spared by indi
vidual enterprise. Pay poor men for their
I wooden huts, and remove them. Make rich
; men remove them when their huts endan
, ger so much. The Insurance Companies
| ought to inspect the places well. We are
! not safe at any time, when so many old
: buildings remain in the business part ot the
I city. Let these seutintents be considered
Sand acted upon. Caution is the parent of
safety. But we may caution and plan
schemes, but unless put into execution, it is
of no avail. Learn to be wise, while it may
be profitable. The city authorities can de
vise plans that may be one of economy as
well as of safety. It may not be dangerous
to have fires, but it is very unpleasant to be
day and night by the alarm of
fire, and see some old hut destroyed. Put
them outof danger.
