cates of the State, with an ability and co
piousness that seemed to exhaust t ie sub
ject; all appeared to think that nothing
was left for Guv. Cobb to say. But in this
anticipation they were mistaken ; his clear
discrimination, powerful aualysis, sound
judgment and unsurpassed power of rea
soning presented the cause in an entirely
new and original light, and caused all to
feel, as Justice Butler did. upon listening
to the luminous judgments of Lord Mans
field, that his “mind was lost In admira
tion at the stretch and strength of the hu
man understanding.” Again. I have seen
him wctor over the combined legal talent
of tbe State, and I hope I do no injustice
to the just claims of the distinguished
Judges who presided in the case,involving
the constitutionality of the stay law of
1806, when I declare it as my conviction
that most of their inspiration and reason ng
were derived from his truly great argu
ment on that occasion. His line of thought
was singularly co incident with that of the
Supreme Court of the United States, when
treating lately the same subject. He had
never seen the case referred to, nor had the
Judges of that Court the benefit of his
masterly argument ami sound constitu
tional views.
His return to the bar after the close of
the war may, without much violence to
language, be said to have been tbe com
mencement of lits professional life in
earnest. The vocation was highly agree
able to him and besought by every means
in his power to elevate its character and
augment its usefulness. He pursued it
wiili ardor and enthusiasm, anil made the
thoughts of its great masters a part of his
own intellectual being. Justice as admin
istered by tiie Courts lie ever regarded as
the safeguard of society and the highest
interest of the State. It was this that kept |
the body politic in harmony—“the highest
wore not exempt from its requirements,
and tiie least tele its care.” Very foreign
to iiis nature was everything like indi
rection—his mind instinctively repeiled
all finenne and sophistry—he sought truih
and when lie found it lie gave it the
homage of his great and pure heart.
From the constant and trying labors of
his profession ha found time to look alter
tbe educational and benevolent interests
of the community. Few are aware of tiie
extent of liis benefaction-, notonly in tbe
way of aims, hut of kind offices and val
uable advice. He boasted not himself of
those deeds, —lie blew no trumpet before
him—his right baud knew not what ids
ieft hand did. “lie did good by stealth,
and blushed to own it fame.” Ail ages,
sexes and conditions who enjoyed the
privilege of his acquaintance felt an affec
tionate attachment to him. Not only the
refined and enlightened denizens of the
city, but tbe simple dwellers in remote
hamlets, upon the aiiouucemcnt of tiie
great bereavement the country had sus
tained— tiie very children mourned him as
they would a lost father —his coming al
ways made them glad, and they w tnessed
his departure with feelings of regret —often
with tears. He needs no monument to
perpetuate his lame—iiis life is his mon
ument— his oen ro tap 1 1 is in the hearts of
iiis country men. The plaudits of his co
temporaries will bo caught up and pro
longed by future generations, and will
swell in volume and earnestness so long
as virtue lias a worshipper, as genius is
admired, and true chivalry and nobleness
of character are appreciated.
His mind was as broad ai tiie Universe,
and lie could not give up to sect or party
what Ids maker meant for mankind, lie
could not lie contracted into the narrow
confines of tiie intolerant and bigo.ed—his
o unnerve was with the world, and it
was impossible to dwarf him to the di
mensions of a baba lasher of null wares.
On the day previous to his death I re
ceived from him a letter, commu.dealing
Ids improved health and saying that lie
would meet me at Ids home ouiiie loth
day of tiie month. But the enjoyment we
anticipated from again taking him by the
hand, listening to his wise, conversation
aud hearing ids lively sallies was destined
never to be realized. Tiie places, which
once knew him were destined hinuefolh
to know him no more forever. He was
indeed brought home, to rest in tlie bo
som of a mother who had cherished him,
aud whom in ids turn lie had honored by
making her name loved and respected in
every civilized country on the globs. He
was laid by the sihe of those who were
kindred spirits in life—Lumpkin, Dough- j
erty, Deloney, and Ids own illustrious
brother, Gen. T. K. R. Cobb. Tiie moul
dering ruins surrounding tiie mausoleum !
of the mighty dead are emblamatic of
their earthly career, while the beautiful
Oco lee which flows hard by their last j
earthly resting place, and sings tiieir per
petual requiem; now smiling in tiie sun- !
shine, now stricken by tlie storm, will j
murmur on a thousand years, and flow as ;
liow it flows, is typical of their belter and j
immortal part.
The summons though sudden did not
llud Gen. Cobb unprepared. In tiie vtry
actof confessing his Lord and Mastertooiie
of hiscliosen embassadors, lie was caught
up and translated to the bosom of his
Father and his God, and tiie angels in
Heaven we doubt not were in full sympa
thy witli tiie ecstacies of those who had
gone before, at re-uni ting with tbe loved one
from whom they had been separated by the
narrow bounds between time aud eternity. •
All that is left us now is to cherish iiis j
memory, aud follow ids example—loemu- I
late liis virtues ami make timely prepara- ;
tioii for tho great ordeal which he has tri- !
umphantly passed, so that when tiie dread
messenger comes, we too may lie prepared \
to receive him, and go not hence, like a i
‘ galley slave, scourged to his dungeon,”
but sustained and soothed by an unfalter
ing trust, like one who wraps the drapery
of liis coinfli about him, and lies down to
pleasant dreams.
REMARKS OS HON. IAS. JACKSON.
May it please your honor, if the spirits of those
that are gone hence, itre permitted to view the
earth they lived upon, and to be cognizant of what
occurs'here, 1 tun sure that the spirit of my kins
man, friend and partner is gratified at what lias
transpired here to-day.
May it please your Honor, tiie esteem in which
he held you ao the presiding officer of this court, I
know, aud also the respect in which lie held tiie
venerable and distinguished chairman of tho com
mittee who lias presented the resolutions, aud tiie
no less venerubie and honorable gentleman who
seconded tho resolutions; amt I know that no
tribute of affection and of respect to his memory,
not even if it proceeded from those amongst whom
he lived tiie greater part of his life, would have
gratilied him more than this testimonial from this
court and this liar.
May it please your Honor, Gen. Cobb had in liis
heart'the ntprit <h< torpx and love of his profession,
and love of the brotherhood. Whenever he met a
lawyer, tiie younger he was, the more lie fcfl like
throwing his” great arm around him and lifting him.
up, and I know that for every member of this bar,
he entertained kind feelings, and I believe that
every member of this bar loved him; and that they
are expressing their true feelings in participating
iu this ceremony. Whether the dead know what
transpires here or not, certain it is if a living man
can personate the dead, and speak in iiis behalf, I
of all men have the right to speak iu the name of
J{qwel] Cobb.
Sir, when I was a boy, my father, embarrassed
by pecuniary difficulties, was forced iosell bis res
ilience in Athens and remove to the country, and
from that time the house of Col. John A. Cobb, tbe
father of Howell Cobb, became my home during
my scholastic term. Howell Cobb was four years
my senior, and that room in the house familiarly
known to the servants as the hoys’ room, he aud
myself occupied together; and although that man
sion lias long since been torn down, and its site is
now in the possession of strangers, Unit room is
still vividly before me, with the bed iu which lie
lay, and that which I occupied, and, may it phase
your honor, though hutu boy, he gave to me liis con
fidence then, and through the long series of years
that have followed, he never withdrew it. When
but a boy I leaned upon him because he was strong
er physically, mentally and morally than 1 was, and
when the news came of his death, I felt myself
leaning upon him still. 1 loved him, may it pfease
ypuj- honor, I loved him more than I loved any
mail. 1 loved him and watched his brilliant career
with a satisfaction equal to what would have in
spired me hud my ambition been borne on the same
successful tide.
But it is not my purpose now to speak of the
great powers of his Intellect; iti- not my purpose
to trace his career as a statesman, who at the ago :
of twenty-six was elected to Congress, and at j
the age of thirty was the foremost man in the I
House of Representatives and Speaker of that i
House; nor is it my purpose to speak of him to I
this court and this bar as tiie leader of tiiat House; !
nor to speak of hiui as the Governor of the State of j
Georgia; nur a* Secretary of the Treasury of the !
United Slates, nor as the'President of the' Provis i
tonal Congress which met in Montgomery ; nor of
liis services in tiiat which is now known as the
“ Lost Cause.” 1 want to talk to you for a moment
of the inner mau—of that spark of divinitv which
comes down from God and makes the man—the
soul. He was the best man I ever knew. Not a
ragged urchin in this community, or any other
ever asked him for alms tiiat they were not'given ;
not a widow or any sutler lug specimen of humanity
ever approached Howell Cobh without finding in
him a friend.
He did uot do things by halves. I remember to
have been told by the Rev. Mr. Warren, the Baptist
minister of this city, that soon after die close of
the war he received a note from Mrs. Cobb, in
behalf of herself and her husband, begging him to
accept an accompanying donation. Mr». Cobb was
not at tiiat time a member of liis church, her mem
bership beiug at Adieus, but she had enjoyed the
benefit of his ministry during her residence in
Macon. He opened the enclosure, aud found that
lt c ontai n'd a greenback note for SSOO. Another
incident occurs to my mind: during the war as a
body of Confederate soldiers were passing the
home of Bishop Pierce, in Hancock county, the
door of Ills smokehouse was thrown open and
everything lie had to Uve upon was swept away.
The news was communicated to Gen. Cobb by my
father-in-law, Mr. Mitchell, and straightway the
Genera* sent two six-mule wagons loaded with
bacon and stores, to supply tiie deficiency in the
Bishop's larder. When 1 went to Athens to attend
the funeral of Gen. Cobb, I found that at one of
tiie stores there, during the year, orders to the
amount of §1 000 had neen given by him to the
widows and orphans of that place.
lie was the moat liberal hearted, the most widely
hospitable man, l ever saw. His house was stretch
ed to embrace all. I have known—l think I speak
: within the hounds of truth—of fifty persons at his
house in Macon, at one time. This is the man of
whom I speak to you to-day. It is not for his
streugth of intellect—for Satan himself possesses
this, and liis capacity may equal that of the arch
angel himself—but it is for this love and fellowship
for man, that we love him. We loved Howell Cobb
because Its loved us. This is the principle which
underlies the affection of the wife ; and that which
we feel for Christ. “We love Him because he first
loved us.” The friends of Howell Cobb loved him,
because he loved them.
I read law iu his office, aud as soon as 1 was ad
mitted to the bar, he took me in as a partner, aud
insisted on sharing with me the salary as well as
the perquisites of the office of Solicitor Gen
eral, which he then held. I have now in my pos
session a letter from General Cobb to his factors,
authorizing me to draw without limit what money
1 needed during his absence. He knew my pecu
niary condition, and gave me this letter in full
confidence that I would not abuse it; but 1 could
have drawn on tiie authority of that letter all he
had in that house. Ilow much did I love this man !
How much did I respect Him! How much did 1
weep over his grave I 1 know nothing, may it
please your Honor, to which I can liken my love for
him, save that which Jonathan bore to David, and
1 have no doubt that were a crown coming to me as
it was to Jonathan, I would have placed it on liis
urow as the one purer and worthier to wear
it. t have the great satisfaction of knowing that
whilst he knew I was a poor, frail, weak, sinful,
erring man. he had confidence in my integrity as a
Christian. 1 have the groat satisfaction of know
ing that immediately on our coming to Macon to
practice law, before my family liad ;; removed here
from Milledgeville, or his from Athens, whilst we
occupied his house alone, he opened his heart to
me upon the great subject of religion. I remem
ber on the stoop of that house on Walnut street,
while he did not know that which influenced him,
1 kuew it was the work of the Spirit from on High.
He spoke of Jiis aged father and. mother, and uis
visters and brothers, who L»*i all been members of
jtome Utlriiffmu Church, and himself the eldest
born, still out, and theu it was that he revealed
to me the great secret that he could not com
prehend that God ever was in man. This is
a mystery whie none of us can comprehend, save
by simple, childlike faith. Soon after this, Win. H.
Hull, familiarly kuown as Hope Hull, who had
formerly, like myself, been his partner in the law,
tame ort a visit to us. I knew Mr. Hull had read
every skeptical book which had beeu written; as
for myself, I had read none of them. 1 asked him
if he hud ever conversed with Gen. Cobb upon the
subject of religion. He said-he had not. I told
him that it was, when not engaged in business, our
constant topic, and that to Gen Cobh, it was the
most interesting subject of conversation; and
after telling him of the difficulties In the way
of Gen. Coob, asked him to call on him and
talk to him on the subject. He replied that he
believed he kuew the book which would convince
him, aud went to Mr. Burke’s bookstore and pur
chased it and gave it to Gen. Cobb. A few days
afterwards Gen. Cobh remarked to me that that
book was the greatest book he had ever read ; that
it had removed all lii3 doubts iu regard to the
Divinity of Christ. I told Mr. Warren of this,
who sought an interview with him at liis house,
and becoming perfectly satisfied ol liis true Con
version, observed as he was about to depart, that
they slum Id give thunks to God for the great
change which he had experienced. They both
fell upon their knees, and Mr. Warren eub.e
qucntly stated to me, he never heard a heartier
Amen: than that which came from the heart
of General Cobb. 1 know, may it please your
honor, that after this he loved the Saviour ; 1 know
he loved those he thought lived nearest to Jesus;
I know that he sent money by me to ohl brother
Alien Turner, a man w hom he scarcely knew by
sight, for no other reason than that he knew him
to be ail old worn out pilgrim of tbe cross; and 1
know he loved the fellowship of the saints And
1 know, as well as I know anything, that God Al
mighty, in great mercy had prepared him for that
great change which took place iu the city ol New
York. This providence was ail arranged by that
being “who doeth all things well.” lie had told
me before he left home, that he was willing to
give up all he had on earth for the
truth, and tiiat it was liis intention, on his
return to Macon to unite himself with the
Baptist Church. My brother Hall was right;
there was nuthiugsectariau about him. He would
have joined that church because his old father
aud mother and the wife whom he loved were
members of it; but he would have loved your
Honor, an Episcopalian; these gentlemen, Presby
terians; he would have loved me and others, Meth
odists, and lie would have loved him, whoever he
might he, who he thought imitated the great ex
ample of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, may it please your Honor, in the name of
that widowed heart in Athens, which will grieve
for him so long us that heart is flesh ; iu the name
of those children of his who love him with the
same love; in the name of the friends who love
him, aud iu my own name, who love him not the
least, 1 return you thanks for this testimonial of
affection and respect to Howell Conn
REMARKS OP A. O. BACON, ESq
May it please your Honor: When agreal
mutt like Gen. Cobh dies, it is most til that
the tributes which are title to his character
ami worth should tie paid by those who
iiuve been his coteniporaries during the
greater portion of iiis life; hut there are
some phases of his character which cat) be
more properly spoken of by a young inan,
an iin rising to do so, 1 but obey tiie
earnest promptings of my heart. Al
though it was my mournful privilege to
see him laid in tiie grave, it is difficult to
realize that Gen. Cobh is dead. Such a
very short time ago lie was with us, ami
of us, iu outward appearance tiie picture
of robust health, the idol of Itis family,
the pride oi his fronds, aud tbe life aud
sou! of the social circle; and now tiiat we
say lie is no more, it is difficult to realize
tiiat so much of life is dead ; that iiis eye,
so beaming with liveliest emotions of love
and sympathy haa forever lost its lustre;
tiiat his voice, whose thrilling tones of
eloquence we have so often listened to in
this chamber, and which was ever ready to
enliven, assist and direct, lias been hushed
in death; and tiiat liis hand, lately so
warm in friendship’s clasp, is now cold
and lifeless cl»y. To me, as to the other
members of this Bar, Gen. Cobb’s toss is a
personal affliction. Through a period of
twelve years by unnumbered kindnesses
he taught me to know him as my friend,
and unconsciously I grew to love him better
than a friend. -And what I say now w ill be
endorsed by all tiie young men who were
so fortunate as to enjoy liis acquaintance.
He was truly tiie young man’s friend. He
possessed, eminently, tiie faculty of eu
dearing himself to young men with whom
lie came in contact. Tilts Was not owing
to effort upon Ins patt, with a design to
increase ins popularity, but his large,
warm and peculiarly sympathetic heart
naturally led him to understand and ap
preciate the many difficulties and trials
which y> ung men encounter in tiie be
ginning of life, especially tiie beginning
of professional life. These he was ever
ready to assist with counsel, encourage
ment and advice, and also witli pecuniary
aid if needed. With these kind offices,
in tiie performance of which he never
wearied, lie ‘‘grappled them to his soul
with hooks of steel.” Not only so: for
this man of mature age, giant intellect
aud vast experience, who had “sounded
ail the depths of was not
only the laithful friend, but also the
genial, familiar companion to the young
man inexperienced and compared with
him of little knowledge. In the hearts of
thousands of young men ail over this land
he lias raised “a monument more lasting
than brass,” and when this and tiie next
generation shall have followed him to the
grave, the story of his excellent worth will
in the lessons of the fireside be told to our
children’s children.
Allusions have been nmtle itt the rep irl
of the Committee to the happiness of his
family relations. This is sacred ground,
upon which we may not intrude too far
ot tread too lightly. But to those of us
who were permitted to see tho beauty of
those telations, its memory will never
fade. His faith in the virtue and purity
of woman, and his knightly respect and
veneration for Iter person and character,
bore their legitimate fruits in itis devotion
aud tenderness to Itis wife aud daughters.
To his grown sons he was at once tiie de
voted father and genial companion. In
the company of his little children, his
great heart overflowed with genuine hap
piness, and atnoDg them he was again a
child, ever the most boisterous and
gleeful.
In the virtue of hospitality he was pre
eminent; not from policy, not forthe grat
ification of pride in the display of wealth,
but with his big, generous nature, the most
generous I ever knew, he loved to have
his friends around him, and share with
them the best he had. His house was ever
open to the friend and the stranger, and
amid the bounteous profusion which ever
covered his generous board, the cluefest
pleasures which the guest experienced
were the freedom aud sincerity of the
genial hospitality which he dispensed.
About General Cobb there was nothing
small; he was great in all things. His na
ture was open, frank, generous hilarious,
1 enthusiastic, affectionate, tender, sympa
thetic, sincere. Add to this a peerless
intellect, a brilliant wit, which never hes
itated, failed or carelessly wounded, joined
to a happy address which ever fouud its
way by the shortest route to every
heart, and we liave a faint outline of this
splendid, magnificent man. Asa lawyer,
tiie report of the Committee has assigued
him to his appropriate position—in the
front tauk of the profession. In the field
of oratory he was indeed regal. He swept
with master hand all tiie chords of hu
man passion, and tiie strains of his elo
i qitenee fed upon and enveloped his hearers
as with the weird spell of an incantation.
| Truly, “upon his lips had the mystic bee
dropped the honey of persuasion.”
Bui he has gone ! How painful thatour
heartstrings should be so violently torn
from the object of our love! How terrible
that this grand man, towering in his
i strength should so suddenly fall powerless
GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER
and lifeless before tiie unexpected stroke
;of death ? It is sad to see the decayed and
I lifeless trunk, swaying its bare and leafless
arms in in the blast, fail oefore the fury of
1 the storm. But when we see some great
| oak, a giant among its fellows, its huge
arms and [thick foliage indicating its
strength and vigor, its green leaves but
tinged with tiie lines of coming autumn,
when we see this pride of tiie forest, when
ail is calm and still, wheu no breeze ruffles
its foliage, fall with resounding crashto
the earth, we are struck dumb with awe.
Gen. Cobb occupied so much space in
men’s hearts aud before tire public eye,
that his sudden taking away can but leave
a great void. We all are painfully con
scious tiiat this void caunv-t tie satisfacto
rily filled by another. Only himself could
doit. 'The devoted, tender husband and
father, the fast, unfailing friend, the gen
erous and genial companion, tire hospita
ble and benevolent citizen, tiie brilliant
orator, tiie great statesman, bas gone front
among us, and we ne’er shall see liis like
again.
The report of the Committee was then
unanimously adopted, after which Judge
Cole said :
Qentlem- n : I fully endorse tiie eloquent
am! merited resolutionsjustread, and unite
with tiie bar in rendering this just tribute
to the memory of the late Gov. Cobb ; and
nowhere, in my opinion, can such a trib
ute more properly tie paid to the memory
of our departed brother than here, where
tiie prominent talents and acquirements
by which he adorned our profession, have
beeu so often, and so lately displayed
In tiie death of General Cobb, the Bar of
Macou lias lost one of its very brightest
ornaments, and this Court one of its very
ablest ulid most enlightened counsellors
The Btate at large lias sustained a severe
toss in the death of this great and good
man. His genius, iiis learning and his
virtues have conferred an imperishable
glory on liis native Hlate, whose iiber'ies
he fought to secure, and whose institu
tions he labored to perpetuate. He was a
patriot and statesman of spotless integrity
and consummate wisdom.
But above all, he was the ornament of
society, the genial and social friend and
companion of every member of this Bar.
1 it .ve felt the death of Gov. Cobh very
deeply. He was endeared to tne by many
ties. He was alwass kind and consider
ate; always indulgent and charitable to
my many errors and shortcomings, and in
all my intercourse witli him here I ever
found him a true aud sincere Christian
friend ami gentleman.
On motion of Judge Nisliet, the Court
was then adjourned to to-morrow morn
ing at 0 o’clock.

citizens of Virginia to Grant, against the extension
of the stay laws beyond January Ist, 1869 Grant

The Herald publishes the following special: In

bis impression that the late election had quieted
down tho state of ft- -ling throughout the country,
had produced aeoudlliou of sober and contented
acquiescence in the declared will of the majority,
and that an improved tone in the political, us well
as other relations of life, will soon be made mani
fest. When he made use of the expression, “let us
have peace,” he seriously meant it, and lie appre
bended no trouble in any section of the country
under his administration, while at the same time
the rights of all cluares and of all communities shall
be protected and preserved Referring to tbe
Fourteenth Amendment, tie said Kentucky and
Maryland would suffer a loss of representation,

served the General, laughing, but they will have to
stand it.
Washington, Nov. 2S— The following paragraph
in the UeraUT* version of Gen. Rousseau’s report
does not appear on copy at Gen. Grant's Headquar
ters : “Os this stripe were some of the members o
tho Republican Campaign Committee in a consul
Lition at my Headquarters, at which Dr. South
worth, a controlling member of that committee
took part, at which consultation I myself was not
present, hut one of my staff officers was; it was
contended by someof the Republican* present, that
the negroes should be advised uot to go to the
i»l!a, the idea being tiiat if they did go they would
be slaughtered. Southwurth replied that his com
mittee would advise the negroes to vote, adding,
let them be slaughtered, the more of them killed
the better it wilt be for our party. This spirit I
am sorry to say, but too often controls the action
and conduct of many who assume to act in the
nunie and in the interest of the Government of the
United States, amd who use the cloak of loyalty as
a cover for their misdeeds. I have found tiiat men
of this description, though willing to see the blood
of others shed at a distance, conceal tin nselrca
with marvelous alacrity and skiil at the approach
of any real or fancied danger.
“doutbworth.'who wanted the uegroe*’slaughter
ed at the {Hills, is a shining example of this kind,
aud was actually in hiding at lay headquarters at
the time he made the remark I have quoted.”

Gen. Grant to the Secretary of War.
Headquarters Army U. 8., {
Washington, Nov. 24. j
Qem. J. if. Schuflcld, Secretary of War:
Sir: I have the honor to submit the report* of
Division, District, and Department Commanders,
for the past year. These reports give a full account
of tiie operations aud services of the army for the
year, and I refer you to them for details. I would
earnestly renew my recommendation of last year,
that the control of the Indians be transferred to
the War Department. 1 call special attention to
the recommendation of Gen. Sherman on the sub
ject. It has my earnest approval. It is unneces
sary that the arguments in favor of tiie transfer
should be re-stated. Tiie necessity for it becomes
stronger and more evident every day. While the
Indian war continues I do not deem any general
legislation for the reduction of tiie army advisable.
The troopsjon the plains are all needed. Troops
are still needed in the Southern States, and further
reduction can be made in the way already used and
now in operation where it is safe, namely; by
allowing companies to diminish by discharges
without being strengthened by recruits, and by
stopping appointments of Second Lieutenants. If
• it should be deemed advisable the veteran reserve
j regiment* might be discontinued by absorption
and retirement of officers and discharge of men
without detriment to the service.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
U, S. Grant, General.

UitARLESTON, Nov. 30.—Gov. Scott to day sent his
HMtsSage to the Legislature. He takes an enc.oura
git% view of the position of affairs in this State, and
gi'ts substantial reasons for hi* belief that no State
of fij,e Union is more solvent or has a fitter pros
meeting all her liabilities. Thesfegregate

ending October 31st, have been $435,572, and ex

jTlic Governor recommends that the donation of
laad made by the United States Government be
demoted to the establishment of an Educational In
stitute iu Charleston, for instructions in Agricul
ture, Mechanic Arts aud the higher branches of
Scientific and Classical studies.
He denounce* all turbulauce and lawlessness,
and -trougly deprecates secret political organiza
tion, and in concluding his message, lie says;
“Tiie general elections have passed, and the po
litical issues involved, which so fiercely agitated
the country, having been determined for a eonsid
erafcie period, it is devoutly to be hoped that the
community may tie indulged in t much needed re
spite fr mi the {Missions and excitements to which
it lias so long been subjected; aud that our people
may be enabled to turn their attention to the de
velopnxot and improvement of their material re
sources, which have been so sadly impaired and
neglected.
“It g visa me much pleasure to state that assur
ances lnvc beeu received, both previous and sub
sequent to the election, from many of the most
prominent men of the State, heretofore in active
opposition to the government, of their regret at
tiie <»■< ir\r«nee of these outrages, and their detes
tation for their authors, as well as of their deter
mination to yield a witling obedience to tbe Con
stitution and laws, relying on the peaceful exercise
of tbeir rights at the ballot box to remedy what
ever they may deem objectionable in them. This
determination has exerted, and cannot hut con
tinue to exert, a favorable influence upon the
property of the State and the tranquility of its
people, stimulating its industry and giving charac
ter and credit to its enterprises.
“Recognizing witli pleasure these evidences of
returning good feeling, and wishing to reciprocate
every indication of an approach to friendly reia
lions, I would reiterate ttie recommendations of
inv last message In favor of a Übsral policy ou the
part of the Legislature in reference to the removal
of all political disabilities. While upon tbe sub
ject of our past differences, I would,take occasion
to express the hope that national polities will
occupy hereafter a much Jess prominent position in
the affirs of the State and In the minds of the
people than heretofore. Political issues having
been determined for year* to come, at least, there
is hut little propriety in keeping up political agita
tlou,”

OBITUARY.
Died, in Twiggs county, October 13lh, 1868,
Daniel W. Shine, Esq., aged 82 years.
He was born July 30, 1784, iu Jones county,
North Carolina, and immigrated toOeorgia about
the year 1810, settling in Pulaski county, then on
the Indian frontier. In the war of 1812-14 he held
the commission of Lieutenant in the command
of the late Gen. David Blaekshear, as may be seen
by the published muster roll. His father, John
Sliine, was a soldier of the Revolut.on, whose
services in tuc tattle near Camden, South Caro
lina, in 1780, areieferred to in White’s “ Historical
Collections of Georgia,” p. 656.
At the close of the war in 1815, D. W. Shine
opened a store In Twiggs county, and for ten or
fifteen years pursued the trade of a merchant, in
which he was eminently! successful. Retiring
from business more than thirty years ago, he de
voted himself to his large planting interests, and
to the education and settlement of his children.
For several years he was a Representative In the
Legislature. About his fifteenth yetr he con
nected himself with the Baptist Church,and eon
tinued faithful to the last.
In all tlie relations of life he was exemplary
and upright. His personal piety, his kind and
obliging disposition, secured him the respect and
confidence of all who knew him. The grea
losses he sustained by the war provoked no com
plaint; all was resignation to the will of Heaven.
In February, 1861. he was smitten with total
blindness, from which he was never relieved un
til a brighter world burst upon his visi n, after
Death had closed his earthly pilgrimage.
Thus lived aud died a valuable man, whose
memory is dear to his children to his many rela
tives, to his brethren of the Church, aud to the
community in which he.passed more than fifty
years of his nseiul and honorable life. M.
OBITUARY.
Mrs An.mk M. Chapman, wife of Mr.
John Chapinan, and eld g! child of Elliot
and Lucy A. (’arletOD, died in Twiggs co.,
Gh , in her 34th year. “She sleeps in
JetU3 ’’
A mysterious Providence hf>B removed
from the scene of her earthly labors and
usefulness otic grtafiy beloved and deeply
lameutcJ, and many sad tears have been
wept over her early grave. LoDg will the
pleasant face, the voice of sweet melody,
and the htart overflowing with warm and
loving sympathies, be mourned by kindred
and friends; long the bweet, pure life, so
full of high and noble purpose, in which so
many virtu.a were beautifully blended, be
like a living presence, wherever its gentle
influence txtended. Happy and buoyant
in her disposisioo, with a child’s eager en
thusiasm, and the most, untiling mental and
phy icai energies, the departed “lived’’ in
deed “while she lived, arid gave to God
each moment as it flew.” “My child,” said
he to her little boy of seven, the Sabbath
before her fatal iilueas, “always remember,
you must never lose a moment, for when it
is onoe gone it can never be recalled.”
All a mother’s deep devoticn and a Chris
tian’s oossuieniious regard for her high
trust, were united in tire education and
(raining of her children, and her most earn
est desire and prayer for them whs, that
thttr lives might reflect, “the beauty of ho-j
liness.” In after years, when they read
this littic tribute to their loved muther’s
Ltmory, may it speak to them with angel
igucs, winning them heavenward; and
ihould temptation e’er assail, or sin and
sorrow e’er darken their pathway, may a
mother’s love and a mother’s prayers be a
•weet help and consolation in the hour of
