iThr 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 der if the Editor '• w,nt out" when the para graph appeared in his pape! 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*! ed a committee to carry out the provisions 1 of the fourth resolution. On motion of Green B. Huygood, Esq., the meeting ad journed. W. L. Calhoun, W.VI. EZZAUD, Secretary. Chairman. 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. THOS. .1. HUDSON, President Planters Convention. Lamar, Miss., Dec. 11, 1861. For the Intelligencer. Trout House, Atlanta, ) December 28, 1861. f 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. VISITOR. Prof. E. VAN GOIDTSNOVEN, A.
