Before the death of Mr. Kelley, the Reporter of j

Dear Sir: It is with great pleasure that I say I
believe the Bottle of your Bitters you gave me. in
all probability, saved my life. They certainly
kept me up until I reached home, and from their
use I have been improving ever since. My wife

the body of the laws of this State. I shall ad
vert to this work again.
Prior to this service, Mr. Cobb, under author
ity of the Legislature, had digested the statute
laws. He found time before the commence
ment of the war, to write a treatise on the
“Law of Slavery”—also a work of great labor,
which received the approval of the profession,
and which, on account of the freedom of the
slaves, remains valuable only, as a record of
what has been, and a monument to the learn
ing and industry of its author. When secession
was inaugurated, he went into this great en
terprise, with conscientious and fervid zeal, and
gave to it the motive power of his eloquence,
and the consecration of his life. He was a lead
ing member of the convention which passed
the ordinance of secession—was elected to the
Provisional Congress and served in that very
able and virtuous body, until it expired. He
was for many years a member of the Presbyte
rian Church, and died, by universal consent, a
Christian.
Aft
its work, he raised a regiment aud entered the
military service of the Confederate Government,
was made Brigadier General, and was slain at
the battle of Fredericksburg, when he bad not.
reached the culminating point of his career
and was yet comparatively a young man. We
have now a meagre statement of tne principal
facts of the life of General Cobb—meagre from
necessity’ and not from choice.
His person was as remarkable as his charac
ter—attracting the attention of thousands at
first glance. He was tall and rather heavy
in his structure, but active in his gait and quick
in his movements—with auburn hair, a clear
and ruddy complexion, gentle and affectionate
blue eyes, aud a voice, not deep and sonorus,
but distinct and flexible. At the latest mo
ment of tiis life one was impressed with the
youthfulness of bis appearance—especially of
ment in the world, intended to abjure the prin- •
cipies of Republican institutions, to aggrandize
the south at the expense of the North. In jus
tice to this heroic martyr to liberty, to his dis- i
tinguished brother, Gen. Howell Cobb, ami !
other leaders, let it be distinctly under- •
stood that they were influenced by no such
purposes. That what they asked was, that the
Southern States should be permitted to estab
lish a Republican government suited to their
condition. They Relived that out of a disrupt
ed Union two great Republics could be organ
ized and maintained, each pursuing its own
destiny', dwelling side by side in peace, possess
ed of the same religion and trie same civiliza
tion. As a proof of these things the Confeder
ate Government was peacefully organized upon
the basis of the Constitution and laws of the
American Union, and at no time during the
vyar was the policy of territorial aggrandize
ment or conquest avowed. The States came
together in council, adopted a constitution,
enacted the laws necessary to a new govern
ment, and moved out of the Union with scarce-
assurances that I was defying public opinion ! * ove< L I care not what becomes of me; I have
—that most of my readers were against me—
as if I could be induced to write what they
wish said rather than what they needed to be
no desire to outlive my country. This night,
before the deed, I wrote a long article, and
meant it for one of the editors of the National
told. I never before realized so vividly the Intelligencer, in which I fully” set forth our
baseness of the editorial vocation according
to the vulgar conception of it. The diu raised
about my ears new is nothing to that I then
endured and despised. I am humiliated by
the reflection that it is (or was) iq the power
o: such insects to annoy me, even by r pretend
ing to discover with surprise something that I
have for years been publicly emphatically pro
claiming.’'
He then concludes as follows:
“ Gentlemen, I shall not attend your meet
ing this evening. I have an engagement out
ot town, and shall keep it
you as capable of judging, or even fully ap
prehending me. You evidently regard me as
a weak sentimentalist, misled by a maudlin
philosophy. I arraign you as narrow-minded
blockheads, who would like to be useful to a

That such a man should lie cut down, when
his various endowments were telling so benifi-
cently upon all the interests of society, is one
of the insoluble mysteries of Divine Providence.
It seems strange that arms so strong should be
paralyzed—that the light of eyes so beautiful
should be quenched—that a heart so warm and
generous should become pulseless, and that a
mind so strong should be exiled from family,
country and the Church, when their need was
the sorest. But we may not sit in judgment j
upon the Divine Administration. Our finite j
may not assume to comprehend the Infinite.— j
Reason dees not justify the ways of God to j
man, but revelation does. His death was as j
the disappearance of a star, aud so we mourn ; i
bis life was a light which the grave canuot ex- j
tinguish, and so we rejoice. As to him it is j

To do at once “what his hands found to do”

I General Cobb among the eloquent men in the

Mr. Dabney, in his life of Jackson, speaks of
our subject in words of comprehensive signifi
cance, as “the orator and statesman. ’ His
oratory was not ornate, but ardent and fluent.
His speeches .were characterized by brevity and
directness, and he was not in the habit of
“breaking his hearers with words.” Iho in
spiration of his eloquence seemed to be the
earnestness of his convictions. Y\ hen address
ing the Court or the jury, his face and figure
were, per se, eloquent. His action was natural,
and his language “pfire and undefiled. Ee-

His piety was eminently practical: it went with
him into all circles, and imbued all his convic
tions. He made no offensive displays of it,
and yet he wore it as frontlet. So cheerful,
uniform, and ubiquitous was his recognition ol
religion, that his iriends, penitent and impeni
tent, came to teei that- it was puit and pa.cel
of his visible nresence. His was a working pie-
ness, from his established repute for consciea
