CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 13, 1872. Greeley. THE SAD STORY OF IIIS ir.I.XESS' HIS I.ASt DAY OX EAI.TH. New York, November 31—Theac counts published of Mi. Greeley r last moments represent him to have been conscious during the day. As usual, in eases of inhumation of the brain, bis physicial suffering wasextreinely light, but the increased and morbid action of the mind was evidetg; from exteri or manifestations. At half past five an old family friend, known as Auntie Lawson, entered and approached his bed Mr. Greeley, then roused by a friend a iking, “Do you know who this is ?” he feebly said “Yes,” streak ed up his hand in greeting, then re lapsed into his reverie. * Litter lie was asked, “Do you know that you are dying ?” and in the same manner without tremor or emotion, he an swered:“Yes” Again when asked if ire recognized Mr. Reid, he looked up with immediate recognition, lilt ing his hand, grasped Air. Reid’s, and feebly said distinctly : ‘‘Yes.’ When asked it he was in pain, he laid his hand upon his breast, but without otherwise replying, and returned to his semi-unconseiousnoss state, Ring now with closed eyes and hands sometimes twiching nervously, but generally still. At hall past six he stined uneasily and began to mutter indistinctly something which friends around him could not catch. His daughter Ida, Mr an-l Mrs Stewart, Air. Carpenter, Dr. Choate and Auntie Lawson were all in the room, around to hear the lait wo'ds. Mr. Gieeley indi t■ mt’.y mummied for a wh.le, ; and at last, feebly said : “it is done." I There was no evidence of pain i:i the !a.->t moment. Tne face •i a dly change.l, only setting a little into a took of perlect pa e. Dr. Choate was by the bedside,- and putting bi hand to Air Greeley’s heart, sad: “lie is gone. ’ TTE Pill-g::kss op pis ii.i.xkss. In an aeeo nt i arm ting at long li tne c'osi g days of the late Air. Giee hw. he is said during bis western tour j behav-e never slept over four hours at •a time. Through the day ie wnu'd often doze in the err and catch s arc! es of sleep. ITpon his return to New York his wife was found to be rapid y failing, and it was while i pa-sing sic; piess nights at her bedside 1 that he first began to show signs of | gre-.t mental depiessioii. On one or- : c.ision while the opposition press was ciincizing bis iktisbnrg speed), he .said, “ It' they make the issue that I’m the Rebel candidate, I'm bound to he (ideated.” This consideration seemed to weigh on his mind. Often when h supposed he was alone, he would put his h inds to his head ad cry out-“Oh,” as though suffering in tense pain. At length wtien his w ile died he began to show maiiifgstnti >ns of gi eat glue! and it was then he is said Lo Lave shown the first positive evidences of mental derangement. — The November election seemingly did not .interest him. liis defeat did not seem to surpiise him. llede eeivad his friends Gy teceiving the news with peilect iudili’ereuce. IIIS LAST LABORS. On November Btii one day after the pr.nt-ing ot liis famous card, an td.to rial amc.e appeared in the Tribune, headed “(’oneiusiuiis. ft was simply a summing up of the lesiut of liie elections, m vdceicy’s old style. This was Ids last professional effort. About A ‘ j tins tune lie l ex ist'd live aitides w Inch lie laid cuteluliy p.epa.ed for an eo I twclopcdia. They aie entitled Abol ition, AgrkiiiUue, Anti-ma>oiu \, Can cits, Confederacy, Southern—the lat ter he.ng liis history of the American Conflict condensed. One day late, white in conversation with a triend, he became visibly aiikcled and said, touching a remark as to his Candida Hire, “1 do., t care for polities and would not go to Washington to get the commission as President. \\ hat I do fed is the loss of my w.fe, who hits been my companion near y forty \e.irs. I have watched by her bid side night and day. N »\v ia n com pletely worn our, prostrated irom aax iety and want ot sleep Ills POLITICAL VIEWS. On November loth Air. Greeley was at his home in Chappaqua, and a prominent Libeial Republican Irom Connecticut visited him, and found him in very broken health. Conver sation was had to the campaign. Air. Greeley manifested much un concern on the subject and to the inquiry whether under the circum stances it would be better for the Lib eral Republican Committees to take steps at once toward the maintenance and consolidation of their organiza tion or remain quiet and await the turn of events, he promptly replied : “Better keep quiet,” hnt beyond this there was nothing to indicate that he lelt any ieterest in current events. FROM THE TRIBUNE. So far as any of his associates knew Mr Greeley was in almost as good health as usual when, on the day after the election, he wrote the card an nounceing his resumption of the edi torial charge of the Tribune. ITtsj sleeplessness was known to have be come gnatly worse, but for years he had Suffered more or less Irom the same difficulty ; and, as is now clear, ! sufficient allowance had not been made tor the intense strain upon him throughout the summer, and especial ly during the last month ot his wife’s illness. But it soon became evident that his strength was unequal to the hard task to which he set himself.— lie wrote only three or tour careful articles, no one of them half a column in length. T lie most notable, perhaps was that entitled “ Conclusions, ” where u he su omitted his views of the canvass. In all he wrote less than three and a half columns after his iqs turn, contributing to only four issues of the paper. Two or three times he I handed his assistant shortartieles, s;ty- j mg, “There is an idea worth using, i but I liavn’t ftL able to work it out properly. You had beetter put it in shape.” At last, on Tuesday, lie abandoned the effort to visit the office regularly, and sent for the family phy sieian ot Air. A. J. Johnson, the friend with wliotne he was a guest, and in w hose house his wife had died. Ev> erv effort was made.to induce sleep, but he grew steadily worse, until il became evident that his ease was crit ical. Dr. George C. S. Choate and others were calkd i.i consultation, and finally it was decided to take him to Dr. Choate’s residence, two or three miles distant from Air. Greeley's own country home at Chappaqua. Ileie lie received lire imiwermiUing atten lion of Dr. Choate, and here Dr Brown iScqunrd, Dr. Brown, and oth ers were ealh din ••onsultation. The insomnia had devc o td into ii.fi mia ■* lion of the brain, and under this the \eneraud patent rapidly sank. At times lie was deliriou.-; at other times as < lear-headed as ever. He lost liesli and strength with stalling rapidity ; and in a few days the possibility ot his sj eedy death l'oieed itself into un willinging rec ignition. It was not, however until Thursday last that h s associates and family brought llieins selves to admit, if id even then they still clung to his faith in the vigor of his constitution. W ednesday night he failed raj.idly. Thuisday after noon and evening lie seemed some what'easier. During the night he . slept very uneasily, muttering occas ionally and frequently raising his right hand. Toward morning he was more quiet, ju diet ween eight and nine o’clock he fell into a nearly uncon scions condition, which continued with some intervals through the day He made occasional exclamations, but many of them in consequence of his extreme weakness and apparent in ability to finish what lie began, were unintelligible. About noon, however lie said quite distinctly and with some t’oice, “1 know that my Redeemer liv eth.” During the day he recognized various j e -pie, his daughter many ii nes, the in ml e s o li.sj ouseliold at Chajipaqua, Air. John R. Stuart, and Air. Reid. On the whole, he suffered j little, and seemed to have no more than the ordinary restlessness which accompanies the last stage of disease. During the day his extremities were cold, and there was no pulse at the w rist. The action of the heart was very intermittent, and was constantly diminishing in force, lie had not asked for water or been willing to drink it since his stay at Dr. Choate’s but diving Friday he asked for it fre quently. Up to within half an hour ot the end he manifested in various ways his con ciousness of what was going on around him, and even swered in monosyllables and intelligi bly, questions addiessed to him.— About half past, three he sad very dis tinctlv, “It is done;” and, beyond the. briefe.-t answers to questions, this was his last utterance Ain. Gleei.ey’s Religious Belief. - Air. Greeley’s religious belief was that ot a Unitarian Resiorationist. He says in a letter to the Rev. J. AI. Aus tin : “I believe that the moral charac ter formed in this life will be that in which we shall awake in the life to come, and that may die so deeply stained and tainted by lives of trans gression and depravity, that a tedious and painful discipline must precede and prepare for their admission to the j realms ot eternal purity and bliss.” In every generation we should seek to prepare men for another life ; but the best possible preparation for anoth er life is one which shall make this world at the same time, a fairer, pu rer, nobler, aud belter earth to live J • 111. What Is Trouble. A company of Southern ladies were one day assembled in a lady’s pailoq when the conversation chanced jto turn on the subject of earthly af • met ion. Each had her story of pe culiar trial and bereavement to relate except one pale, sad looking woman w hose lustreless eye and dejected air showed that she was a prey to the deepest melancholy. Suddenly arous ing herself, she said in a hollow voice not one of you know what trouble is. j “Will you please, Airs. Grey,” said the kind voice of lady who well knew her story, “tell the ladies what you call trouble ?” “I will, if you desire it," she replied “for I have seen it Aly parents pos sessed a competence, and my girlhood was surrounded by all the comforts ol life. I seldom knew an ungrati fiod wish, and was always gay and light hearted. I married at nineteen, one I loved more than all the world besides. Our home was retired, but the sunlight never fell on a lovelier one, or on a happier household. Years rolled on peacefully. Five children sat around our table, and a little cur ly head still nestled in my bosom.— One night about sundown, one of those fierce black storms came on w hich are so uncommon to, our South ern climate. For many hours the rain poured down incessantly. Morn ing dawned, but still the elements raged. The whole Savannah seemed nil -at The little stream near our dwelling became a raging torrent.— Before we were aware of it, our house was surrounded by water ; I man aged w ith my babe to reach a little elevated Bpot, on which a few wide spreading trees were standing, whose dense foliage affoidedsomc protection while my husband and sons strove to . ave w hat they could of our prop city. At last a leaiful surge swent away my husband and he never rose again. Ladies no one ever loved a husband more, but that was not troub le. “Presently my sons saw their daiD ger and the struggle for life became me only consideration. They were | as brave loving boys as ever blessed j a mothers heart, and I watched their efforts to escape, with such agony as only mothers can feei. They were so far off 1 could not speak to them, closing nearer aud nearer to each oth er as their little island grew smaller aud smaller. * “The sullen river raged around the huge trees; dead branches, upturned trunks, wrecks of houses, drowning cattle, masses of iubbish all went floating .past us. Aly boys waved their bauds at me and then pointed upward. I knew it was a farewell signal, and you, mothers can imagine my anguish, I saw them all perish and yet that was not trouble. “I hugged my babe closer to my heart, and when the water rose to my feet, I climted into the low branches of the tree, and so kept retiring be fore it, till an All powerful hand staid the w aves, that they should come no further. I was saved. All my world iy possessions weie swept away ; aJj m\ earthly hopes blighted—yet that w as not trouble. “Aly baby was all I had left on earth. 1 labored night and day to sup [»oi t him and nut elf, aid sought to tiaiu him in the iff lit way; hut as he grew older evil companions won him away from me. He ceased to care fur his mother’s cafressis ; he would sneer at hev entreaties aud agonizing prayers. He left my humble roof that he mi-lit be unrestrained in the juirsuits of evil, and at last, when heat" ed l>v wine one night, lie took the life of a lellow being, and-ended his own upon the scaffold. Aly Heavenly fath er had tilled my eup with sorrow be fore, now it ran over. That was trouble*, ladies, such as I hope His mercy will spare you from ever exper iencing. Theie was not a dry eye atnongher listeners, and the warmest sympathy was expiesstd for the bereaved moth er, whose sad history had taught them a useful lesson. A physician, on presenting his bill to the executor of the estate of a de ceased patient, asked, “Do you wish to have my bill sworn to ?” “No," replied the executor ; the death of the deceased is sufficient evidence that you attend and him personally.'’ &ST Spinks told his wife that she could have all the r Dolly Warden things she wanted, or a piano. He says now t hat the piano would have been cheap er. ££7* Some of the citizens of Roch ester have employed a man named Mundav to make a bust of Douglass.

We gave our readers the full iues sage ot the President yesterday in a supplement. The document is a very practical one, dealing in narration and sUitis ties. It recounts the acts of his ad ministration for the yea:*. It states the Alabama claims settlement by the Geneva tribunal, and the Sun Juan boundary decision, as fixing up two matters of serious difference bet ween this country and England It how ever makes no allusion to the ridieu lous farce perpetrated by Grant’s ad ministration in pressing the “Indirect damages” claim, nor how it stutlified itself by rejecting Reverdy Johnson’s treaty, and afterwards substantially adopting it. Our foreign relation* are reported all serene. The suggestion is made to invite the International Statistical Congress in this country in 1870. Recommendation is made to appro priate money to have the United States represented at the Vienna Ex position. Appropriation is urged to earry on the Mexican Claims Commission. A reference is made to Cuba, hoping that slavery will be abolished there. Spain and the South American repub lies are making peace ; also Brasil and the Argentine Confedracy.

The downfall of the navy is alluded io, and the damaging adunssi m made that unless early steps are taken to preserve the navy, in a few years the United States will be the weakest on the ocean. The Post Office Department cost $26,658,195, and received $21,915,420. The railroad mail lines are 57,911 miles, of which 8,077 were put in operation last year.

The falling off in the carrying trade is stated and five millions expenditure a year advised to remedy it. The necessity and salutory effect ot the enforcement and election laws are briefly pressed. Belief in the existence of the Ku Ivlux is declared and continued war on it announced. The success of the administration’s Indian policy is claimed. The plan seems to be to convert the territory South ot Kansas into an Indian dos main and send all the Indians there. Os the public lands 11,864,475 acres were disposed of last year. The cash* receipts were $3,218,196. There are 22,016,608 surveyed and 583,261,780 unsurveyed acres of public land. There were 12,732 patents issued, jiaying $800,90*4 fees.
