Our telegraphic dispatches of last uighi
announce the death of Mr. tiret-ley at
6£0 o’clock yesterday afternoon.
For Beveral days the telegraph has
givei information that he was seiiou>:y
ill, and tue tone ot the intelligence was
of a nature that gave gronuds for infer
ence that he wonld not recover. Tne
news of his death was not, therefore,
altogether unexpected.
The cold remuius that to-day nr* 1 ur

•l 1 tlie characteristics that have marked
©nt Horace Greeley for words i f ill « r

Mr. Greeley, the politician, the opposer
of the cherished institutions of the
8ontb; not the editor of the 'lribune,
nor the candidate for the Presidency ;
bat the inanimate, harmless remains ot
ihe man, against whom t' e shafts of op
position, of whatever nature, are brokeu,
and in their, stead wreaths of kindness
will be entwined about his memory, und
only tbe good be did be remembtred in
ihe tribute of respect that will now be
xendered him.
America bus never giveu birth to one
who has uttained more extended emi
nence than Mr. Greeley; not by’ the
•CcupaLcy of high political statious, but
by the commanding influence he obtained
in the political aud civil world, and
whicu be bus exercised over public

Was born on the 3rd of February 1811, of

tne loss of wnom no doubt bad much to

In many regards Mr. Greeley was a
character worthy to be set up us a model,
fie was a bold, original aud independent
thinker. He was a man of uncompro
mising integrity of character. Whatever
cause ne espoused he believed sincerely
that it was a just one. Thtre is no ques
tioning the fact that, in ms opposition
slavery, he believed that he was doing
yeoman service for civilization and
Christianity. His errors were never er
rors of thp heart. He was, in spite of
many personal eccentricities, warm and
geDerons-hearted, anil an earnest lriend.
He was a devoted husbund and father,
bestowing mneb of bis tim», aud means,
to the rendering his family pleasure and
happiness.
In the death of Mr, Greeley, civiliza

He had marked with pleasure and
uessed with gratitude the progress of the
North Georgia Conference. It was now
as large as the original Conference. He
had not come to give, but to ask some
thing. He was here to draw out to. the
remote West a preacher or two. The
orethren of the Pacific Coast, especially
Georgians, send greeting to the North
Georgia Conference. Rev. J. C. Sim
mons and others ask to be remembered.
The Georgia preachers there are not iu
proportion to the Georgia people. They
ueed more of the same sort. It is not a
barren field; sinners are converted and
preachers are raised up. The natural
lucrease of ihe laud keeps pace with
others. Emigration is flowing in, aud
preachers' must emigrate. He would

Hon. Alex. H. Stephens.—Mr. Sie
mens has been to Atlanta on a visit.—
Owing to bodilv afflictions he has been
HjnfineU to bis room for a long while,
aid this is the first time t at he nas been
•ut in four years. The appearance oi
. ue “sage of Liberty Hall’’ in the great
-iity and Capital of Georgia, created a
,;reat sensation and mauv d jmoustra-
ions were made. His friends were,
inring his stay theie, flocking in largi
crowds incessantly to the Kimball Hoiine
0 see nim. It is hinted that Mr. Ste
phens would now take a seat m the U.
d. Senate, should the majority of .h
eople desire it and tne Legislature elect
him.
Mr. Stephens, in our judgment, is,
above all others, tbe man far the posi
tion. Having a large experienced pub
lic affairs, being an able statesman ana
eady and eloquent debater, as well
jossessing a mind vigorous and clear in
ill things, he wonld ut tt is time do mud
•ood service as Senator. Besides his
igh intellectual qualifications above al
lied to, the honest masses everywhere
want to see Mr. Stephens in Congress,
tecause they have confidence in him as
1 man and can trust him. We hope,
herefore, that onr Legislature, soon ti
ssemble, will give due weight to the
uperio • claims of this gided son of tbe
Empire State of the South.

Government ol his country were founded. b«j

Hon. A. H. Stephens.—Hon. A. H,
Stephens was iu Atlanta last week on a
visit, being the first time he has been
rom home in four years. His health has
-•cry much improved recently, although
'till quite lame, he is able to walk with
<ut much difficulty. The cordial wel
ome aud respectful attentions shown
im by all classes of citizens were as grai
dying as they were deservedly compli
•unitary to his gr-*at genius, statesman
ship and patriotism.
Ou Friday, tne 22d, one handled and
lghty of the most prominent citizens of
Ariantp petitioned him to deliver a pub
ic address in that city,.but business en
{ngements prevented bis compliance.
He nas promised, however, to comply
with their request on Wednesday night.
December 3d. Atlanta, in thus doing
onor to the purest aud greatest of liv
!ig statesmen, has reflected tenfold
looor on herself.
Mr. Stephens for Senator.
