Death of Horace Greoley.
On last Saturday dispatches from
Washington and iN’cw York, brought
the sad news of Mr. Greeley’s death.
At any time for the last twenty years
the death of Mr. Greeley would have
produced a pensation throughout the
country; but at the present, when
Mr. Greeley had become the leader of
liberal sentiments in the Republican
party, his death is a great national ca
lamity.
Born and raised among the people,
Mr. Greeley has always been the friend
of the laboring class; and it can be
truly said of him that he has generally
plead the cause of the oppressed. At
the head of one of the most influential
journals in the country he has made
hismark in the world, and his name
is written upon every page of the his
tory of his country for many years.
1'rorn his earliest youth he has been
one of the most industrious men oi
his age, and he retained his mental
vigor until within a few days of his
death. His extraordinary career of
fame and usefulness will afford an en
couraging example for the young men
of our country to follow. It seems
hard to realize that one who has so
lately been the leader of millions of
men should now lie silent in the grave
But this is the common consummation
of all earthly hopes—of all human
greatness.
has
5c 23ot Deceived—Gen. Grant
not changed.
Some of our friends have been flat
tering themselves that Gen. Grant iu
his forth-coming message would re
commend a more liberal policy to
wards the South. We fear all these
fond anticipations will be disappointed.
Such a character as his does not
change only for the worse. He is iu
tensely selfish and exceedingly avari
cious and these grow and intensify as
years increase. He is too indolent
and loves pleasure too well to trouble
himself about the prosperity of the
South so long as the eastern and west
ern and middle States stand by him.
But Gen. Grant hates politicians and
dispises lawyers. The only Courts
for which he has any respect are CourtB
Martial, and the policy which he be
lieves in is that which the centurion,
whose servant was sick, describes in
the New Testament: he said to one
man go and he went, and to another
come and ho came, and to his ser
vant do this and he does it. That is
precisely Gen. Grant’s policy, and be
has no use for politicians and it is very
possible that he may quarrel with the
politicians and lawyers of the North
if they attempt to rule him, and in
that case he would probably try to
conciliate the South. If the politi
cians of the Radical party have not
lost all of their independence and man
hood they will be sure to quarrel with
him, for he snubs them at every turn.
But we fear the love of office and of
plunder is the ruling passion with Rad
ical politicians of these times, and if
so Grant can rule them and snub them
as much as ho pleases.
The Scourge of Fire.—In ancient
times when men became very wicked,
we read that the whole race, but one
family, were swept away, and the
earth was cleansed and purified by
water. Now it seems as if the fire
fiend was let loose, and the earth was
about to be scourged by fire. Never
before in this country have we heard
of so many and such destructive fires
aa in the last fifteen months. Many
lives have been lost, and hundreds of
millions of property swept away in
one day. To those who believe in an
overruling providence these terrible
fires have a fearful meaning. They
do not come by chance. Are they not
the chastisements of an offended God,
and sent as a warning to those who
put their whole trust in riches, and lay
up all of their treasures on earth,
where they are constantly exposed to
decay or sudden destruction ?
letter from Chattanooga-
Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 29, 1372.
TheiPress Association of Tennessee
•is holding its adjourned meeting at the
Stanton House in this city. On last
evening Tennessee’s most distinguish
ed literary daughter, Mrs. L. Virginia
French of McMinnville, read before the
Association a beautiful and appropri
ate poetical Address. I shall send you
a copy go soon as ,1 can obtain one.
Mrs French is well known to the lit
erary world as the author of many of
the finest poems of our times, and of
that thrilling novel entitled “My
Roses” which I have seeu for sale at
the store of Hunt, Rankin and Lamar
of Milledgeville. Beside Mrs. French,
when she was reading her Address
stood her brilliant and handsome
young sister Mrs. Lide Meriwether of
Memphis, Tenn. Mrs. Meriwether bas
very recently made herself favorably
known to the literary world by her
revolutionizing little volume entitled
“Soundings,” and by a startling poem
lately brought out in pamphlet form
under the quaint name of “Souls fob
Sale.” Mrs. Meriwether has been ap
pointed to deliver a poem, at the next
meeting of the Press Association which
will take place in May 1S73 at Leba
non, Tennessee. The members of the
Association, together with a highly
intelligent body of citizens and guests,
wero also very happily addressed last
evening by Messrs. Jones and Bing
ham of the Nashville press. Among
the audience, we observed Hon. Mr.
Crutchfield, Hon. Mr. James, and Hon.
Mr. Soyder, all of this city—members
elect, the first to Congress, the second
to the State Senate, the third to the
Lower Branch of the Tennessee Leg
islature ; all gentlemen of ability and
decided “dash.” Chattanooga is grow
ing handsomely, and is destined t,o be
a very important city. It is the focus
at which five great railways uow meet.
The iron manufacture is already a
large interest here ; and with coal
and iron-ore at hand, this great busi
ness is sure to have aa immense ex
pansion. From actual trial, we can
commend the “Stanton House” as
one of the very best hotels to be found
in any country : new, elegant in all
respects. This is no venal praise ;—
for we pay our bills here just as ordi
nary and non-corresponding mortals
do. The weather is very cold here to
day. Ice covers the pools of water
everywhere, and the wind howls down
over the mountains from the frozenest
regions of the North Pole. The ther
mometer is sixteen degrees below the
freezing point! My ink freezes !
Frigidly yours,

Horace Greeley is Dead.
New York, November 29.—The
Tribune isues the following bulletin:
6pective visit of the “Amphion of the * Mr. Greeley died very quietly without
North,” the following brief sketch
may not be uninteresting.
Ole Bull’s passion for violins, mani
fested itself at a very early age. When
only five years old, bis uncle (a violin
ist) bought him a very small fiddle.
To the surprise of the family he imme
diately played well upon it, though he
had never received any instruction. He
played a quartette of Pleyel’s to the
assembled club,|and they inquired with
astonishment who had taught the
child; for they knew not, that God
had taught him, by a process as simple
as that of the mocking bird.
Ole Bull never learned to read music
by the usual method. From infancy
ho had been accustomed to hear music,
and he knew the sound ol each writ
ten note, long before he was able to
pronounce it by name. At ten years
of age a foreign music master urged
upon his father the necessity of having
pain, at teu minutes before seven this
evening. He was censcious and
rational.
Washington, November 29.— A
dispatch just received here anounces
the death of Mr. Greeley at 6:50 this
evening. He was censcious at the
time, and passed peacefully away.

New York, November 30.—The
accounts published of Mr. Greeley’s last
moments represented him to have been
conscious during the day. As is usu
al in cases of inflammation ofjthe brain,
his physical suffering .was extremely
Blight but increased, and the morbid
action of the mind was evident from
exterior manifestations. He was asked,
“Do you kuow that you are dying?”
Without tremor or emotion he answer
ed, “Yes.” Again when asked if he re
cognized Mr. Reid, he looked up with
him taughtscieutifically. The attempt immediate recognition, and lifting hi,
was accordingly made, but nothing .?*'• ■?"£?. *£!*?£

The Millodg’ovlllo Hotel.
We understand the company intend
to rebuild the Hotel aa soon as they
can make the necessary arrangements.
Some of the stockholders live in New
York, and some are minors. All of
these difficulties we trust will soon be
overcome and the work will commence
in earnest. It is equally for the in
terest of the stock-holders and the
public, that the Hotel should be re
built, and if any of the stockholders
•wish to act the dog in the manger,
the stock will be sold, and a new com

all concerned.

about them.—Sav. Advertiser.
The Monro* Advertiser has this to say about
the recent fire in thia city:
We sincerely regret to chronicle this fire. Only
a few years have passed since the firo fiend devas
tated this same block. The hotel building was
on9 of the best in the State, and the rooms were
arranged so as to be convenient for “pairs” or
“squads” of Senators, Representatives or friend..
All the Store rooms, and the Hall were finished in
modern style. The blow is a severe one. The
Milledgevillianshave continued to hope their city
might again be recognized as tho Capita! of the
State, owing to tho fact that the public property
so well arranged for the purposes of the State
government; but the loss of their fine hotel, sc
ioDgaboast, would seem to crash out this hope.—
We hope this disaster will be recovered from
promptly. Let th3 people of the State see that
there is yet life in the ancient city. There is no
telling wbat may happen in the future.

Triumphant for Twenty Year*.—
More than twenty years ago the Mustang Lini
ment made its debut in the West. Its cures of the
various external diseases of horses aDd cattte, as
tonished the planters and farmers of the Missis
sippi and Ohio Valleys, and a demand for it
sprung np which necessitated its mannfactnre on
an extensive scale. Soon the discovery was made
that it was a grand specific for rheumatism, gont,
neuralgia, earache, toothache, and other external
ailments of mankind. Then it was tried as a heal
ing, pain killing application, in cases of ontwsrd
injury, such as cuts, bruises, burns, spasms, &C-.
and was found equally serviceable. The fame of
the new remedy for some of the most painful ills
that afflict mankind and the lower animals, spread
rapidly, and Mustang^Liniment soon took rank
in every 8tate and Territory of the Union as a
standard cure.} ,
by mechanical
process. His genius positively refused
to go into the straight jacket, and
when father and teacher coaxed and
scolded, the nervous child actually
screamed with agony.
It is this abhorrence of fetters
which now imparts to his genius that
freshness and overleaping life which
constitutes its greatest charm. Crit
ics constantly complain that he pays
no attention to the rules, but the pub
lic everywhere agree that they don’t
care for this, so long as the glow of
his music warms and electrifies their
souls.
Ole Bull plays the four distinct
parts on the violin at once. No per
son who has not tried it can conceive
of the extreme difficulty of playing at
once the distinct parts on each of the
strings. It requires muscles as strong
as iron, and elastic as India rubber
Paganini had sufficient elasticity but
not enough strength. Ole Bull is the
only man in the world that ever did it.
When the Parisians first heard him pro
duce this wonderful eflect, of Jour vio
lins with only one, it 6eemed so in
credible that they could not at first be
lieve it, but thought that three other
musicians were concealed behind the
scenes playing the other three parts.
The romantic history of his violin
is no fiction. This remarkable instru
ment is over three hundred years old.
It was made by Gasper da Salo in
Brescia, one of the oldest violin ma
kers on record, and it was considered
the best ono ho ever made. Its ori
ginal cost was over six thousand dol
lars—new no amount of money could
buy it. When Iuspruck was taken by
Napoleon in 1809, it was carried to
Vienna and was sold to Rjheazhek a
a wealthy connoisseur of stringed in
struments. He was offered immense
sums for it by English, Russian and
Polish noblemen, but to all such offers
he invariably answered by demanding
the price of half of Vienna. About,
thirty years ago Ole Bull gave fifteen
concerts in Vienna—Rjheazhek was
enthused by his performance, and Ole
Bull, of course, looked with longing
eye, on the oldest and best violin in
the world. But the musical antiqua
rian could not bring himself to sell it,
but promised that if ever be did part
with it the Minstrel of Norway should
have it. He died two years after, and
his son sent it to Ole Bull, then at
Leipsic.
The wood of this violin was so old,
and vibrated so thoroughly, that Ole
Bull for a long time, was unable to ob
tain a sounding post adapted to it.
This post is a small piece of wood, not
as large as a man’s little finger. When
Ole Bull first performed in Philadel
phia, bis delicately sensitive ear, at
once detected that the double bass
viol in the orchestra, was a very old
instrument. Some time after, the
horse and rider that represented “ Gen.
Putnam’s leap down the precipice”
plunged into the orchestra, and crush
ed the old bass viol to splinters. As
soon as Ole Bull heard of the accident
he hastened to buy the fragments, with
a small piece of which he was enabled
to remedy the slight (but to his sensi
tive ear, great) defect of his own fa
mous instrument. Its upper covering
is of an exceedingly rare species of
Swiss pine, celebrated in the manufac
ture of violins. It grows on the Ital
ian side of the Alps, for sunshine and
song, seem inseparably connected, and
the balmy atmosphere which makes
Italy so rich in music, and imparts to
her language such liquid melody,
seems breathed into her very trees.
The diamonds in his bew—forty-five
in number—were presented to Ole Bull
by the Queen of his own native land.
G.
said distinctly “yes.” His last words
were, “it is done." His face hardly
changed, only settling a little into a
lock of perfect peace.

about 81,000,000. The origin of the
tire is not known.

CELEBRATED
SMITH’S TONIC SYRUP
FOB THE CUBE OF
AGUE AND FEVER,
OR CHILLS iND FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine jottly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the public for tbe safe, certain, speedy and per
manent cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever,
whether of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear him
timony to the truth of the assertion, that in oo case
whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a ^Teat many
easeR a single dose lias been sufficient for a cure, aad
whole families have been cured by a single bottle,
with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is
however, prudent, and in every case more certain to
cure, if its use is continued iu smaller doses for a week
or two after the disease has been checked, more es
pecially in difficult and long-standing cases. Usually
this medicine will rot require any aid to keep the bow
els in good order. Should the patient, however, re
quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or
tour doses of the tonic, a single dose of BulCs Vent
table Family Pill* will be sufficient.

Rivers, wit* #f Reverend Dr. Rivers, one of tho most
learned, eloquent and popular Ministers of the Method
ist Episcopal Church, and wiio is at present stationed
at Broadway Church, Louisville, Ky.
Louisville, Kr., Oct. 8, 1869.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir : Many thanks to you
for tha medicine you have so kindly given me. 1 have
been a great sufferer for years, and had the advice of
various physicians. Some pronounced my spin", some
:ny lungs, and some my heart to be the seat of ir,y din-
ease. I have been burnt, ^Bstered and cupped until
I had become disheartened! Several very eminent
F hysicians who examined my spine informed me that
was threatened with paralysis or appoplexy any day
and that nothing but a eeton would relieve me. I had
a perfect horror of that, and was hesitating about
having one inserted, when you kindly sent me your
Sarsaparilla which I immediately begun to take three
tunes a day. I had suffered terribly with a most
acute pain in the right side of my head, especially
when I would read or write for any length Of time, and
on rising to my feet I would be pertectly blind tor
several minutes, and would have to hold to something
to prevent falling.
I am most happy to inform you that the pain in my
head is entirely relieved ; I suffer bnt seldom with my
spine and then not so acutely. My appetite is good;
indeed for the first time in my Hie 1 enjoy luy dinner
more than any meal daring the day.
Yon kindly sent me lour bottles again last night,
and I began again this morning, and 1 hope to be en
tirely relieved- Please accept my heartfelt thanks and
beet wishes.
Very truly your most grateful frii-cd,
M. B. C. Eitxrs.

Do not suffer yourself to be imposed on. Don’t be
drawn away after new ami doubtful experiments.
Don’t risk your health by letting novices experiment
upon you with their trash. My Sarsaparilla has stood
tbe teat for twenty-five years : it is still tho Sarsaparilla
of the day, and of the age, towering over all others m
popularity and its cuiative qualities. Avoid all those
who are trying to palm off on you other extracts of
Sarsaparilla, so-called. Remember it is Dr. John
Bull’s Sarsaparilla, of Louisville, Ky . that is the old
and reliable remedy tor impurities of tile blood and
scrofulous affections. Always bear that in mind.

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing tiie efficacy
of yonr Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial
qualities it possesses, I send you the following state
ment of my case:
I was wounded about two years ago. was taken
prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being
moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I
have not set up a moment since I wa- wounded. I
am shot through the hips. My general health is im
paired, and I need something to assist nature; I uavs
more faith in your Sarsaparilla than anything else. I
wish that which is genuine. Piease express me half a
dozen bottles, and oblige.
Capt. C. P. JOHNSON,
St. Louis, Mo,
P. S.—The following was written April 30th, 1866,
by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt. Johnson:
Dr John Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. 8-
Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physician in Cen
tral New York, where he died, leaving the above C.
P. Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age he
had a chronic diarrhea and scrofula, lor which I gave
your Sarsaparilla. It cured lam. I have for ten
years recommended it to many iu New York. Ohio
aud Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general debili
ty. Perfect success has attended it. The cures ef
fected in some cases of scrofula and fever sores were
almost miraculous. I am very anxious for my son
to again have recourse to yonr Sarsaparilla. He ia
fearful of getting a spnrions article, hence his writing
to yon for it. Hia wounds were terrible, but I believe
he will recover.
Respectfully.
