Montesqnien says in aeUtanoe, that the diameter of a people in al sgas end torn tries is distinguished by tbe spirit of iti criminal laws. In this there ia ranch trntb, and yet it is,Equally trne that the character of all Peoples is not only 11 marked,” but, ae Wendell Holmes says, filed” by their literature, by their books, by their OOU' tribntione to the general stock of hnman knowledge in every department of learn ieg—iu poetry—in romance—in science —in history—in biography—iu every' thing that tends to elevate and ennoble. It is unquestionably a troth mnoh to be lamented, that the peoples of the Boutb era States have too much neglected tbe culture of letters ; and have devoted too tittle of that spirit of enterprise which i ever distinguished them, to that sort business to wkioh we are aow re ferring. But enough of this at present. It is to be hoped that a brighter day is dawn ing upon their future in this respect. This volume, with several others, from (ha same press, and that of Messrs. J. W. Burke A Co., of Maoun, iu this State, dnring tbe present year, is an earnest of soon a hope. Bo far, wa have spoken only of the mechanical execution of the book re ferred to. Of the merits of its contents we have now s few words. Neither time nor spare will allow ns to apeak of these ae oar inclinations ie ed ns to do. Sufflice it to s*y that it abounds with matter of very great interest, uot only ■o eil Alabamians, bat to all inUliigen readers throughout the United States and especially to all inch in tbs Southern Stsies.

In tbe perusal of these " Reminiscences" mat Georgians, ae well ae Oirolinians end Virginians, will recognize with pleasure early aiqnain'auces who sought a homo iu 'the West (as it wus then called) upon euteriug the great realities of the struggles of life, and it will be a source of greater pleasure still to this clast to sue what jnst fame aud distinction have been achieved by llioee early acquaintances in. their m home by the practice ol those virtues, from which, alone, all worthy renown oan I e secured. We are strongly tempted to allude apedally to some of these, who are nearest onr own heart; bat for fear of making a dis crimination that might not be altogether proper we forb-ar—and therefore aim ply commend the book to our readers ao.i the . nl.lic generally; as one wl ial basin it much to entertain, ns a til os lustrum.

We also add, that we understand Mr. Stephen F. Miller, the author of the Beucb and Bar of Georgia assisted Mr. Garrett iu the preparation of tbe work.

But he was fond of relics of the past, particularly when they are oonaecrated by aaauciatiou with the great aad good.

Our telegraphic dispatches of last night auuouuce the death of Mr Greeley at 6:50 o'clock yt-eterday afternoon. For several days tins ti-ls e r.iph Is* givet iuformsliou that be was seriously ill, and the tone of the intelligence wss of a nature Unit gave ground* fur inft-r- cnee that be would not rtouver. TLs news of hia death was not, therefore, altogether unexpected. Tbe cold remains that to-day are ar rayed in fnneral robes, are freed from all tbe characteristics that have marked out Horses Greeley for words r f ill cr censure By fc's tallow-man. It is not Mr. Greeky, the politician, the opposer of the cherished institutions, of the South; not the editor of tbe Iribunt, nor tbe etndidate for Up Presidency; bat the inanimate, harmless remains ol the man, agaiusl whom Ike abaft* of op positii n, of whatever na'nre, are broken, and in their stead wreaths of kindness will he entwined shoot his memory, and only tbs good he did be remem b* ml iu the tribute of respect that will now he rendered him. Ameriot baa never given birth to one who ha* attained more mended emi nence than Mr. Greeley; not by tbs occnpstey of high political stations, hut by tbs commanding influence lie obttnued to the polniiial aud civil world, amt wbich hs baa exercised over public alTaiis. It has been said of him that I e has come more neur y fashioning Amen oan Institutions ufti-r hit own ideas than any man if tbe ] resent or pest. He was in every tense a self nmds man. He was born on the 3rd of February 1811, of poor parentage in Amherst, New, Hump shire. His earlier years were spent upon the farm, aiding hia father in the work thereon. At the uge of fifteen lie was ippriuticsd to s printer, whieh period we may call the beginning of the tile that has muds him to eminent. In 183G be wedded tbs Wife whose death was announced ouly a 'ew weeks ago, aud lue loss of woom no doubt had mnoh to do witn Mr. Greeley's death. In many regards Mr. Greeley was s Character worthy to be set up us a model, He wus a bold, riginal and independent thinker. He was a nun of uncompro mising integrity of character. Wlislrver ouuse no eaponsed he believed eiacerely lust it was* just one. Tbtreis no qnaa- tiooiag tbe fact that, in hia opposition to slavery, he believed that be wss doing yeoman service lor civilisation and Christianity. Hi* error* were never er rors of tbo heart He was, in spite ol many personal ecceutrioities, warm and goncrous-hearted, and an earnest '.rend. He wss a devoted husband and father, oeetowing much of his time, and means, to the rendering his family pleasure and happiness. In the death of Mr, Greeley, civiliza tion and tne arts slid sciences, have lost ffleient aJvocati; Journalism has lost one of the ablest Editors that has ever lived; the w .rid Is deprived of one of its ablest mind-i, and humanity of s friend. srrortD nxv » rnomnoiMos sixth akmj- al snssicir.
