Sermon by the Pastor, Revs Dr, W, 1. Ryder. An Eloguent Tribute to the Memory of the Great Editor. Special Despaich to The Chicago Tribuné, New Yomk, Dec. 1—Mr Greeléy's rémains were brought to the city last‘night, accompanied by his afflicted deughters, and deposited fn Mr. Sinclair's residence, West Forty-ninth streef. Hundreds of old friends applied for admittance, but a policeman &t the door allowed no visitors to pass. A large number of societies have re- solved to attend the funeral, and others meef to-morrow to take similar action. If the Com= mon Council to-morrow desirs that the rémains ghall lie in state in the City Hall, they will be ¢onveyed there, and thence on Tuesday to Dr. Chapin’s church; otherwise they will ba taken to the church to-morrow from Mr. Sin- clair’s house, and lie in state there with o guard of honor. Afr, Greeley will be buried in Green- wood, where his wife, two little boys, aged re- spectively 6 and 5 years, and bis infant daughter are interred. The orphan daughters are at Mr. Sincleir's house, cared for by affectionate {riends. They are a8 well in heelth as could be hoped for, con- sidering their almost crushing sorrows. NEw Yors, Dec. 1.—The Trustees of the Trib- une, af o meeting on Saturday, sppointed n Committes, consisting of Messrs. Sincloir, Reid, and Clevelend, to_talke entire charge of the ar- rangements for Mr. Greeley's funeral. They Lave fixed it for Wednesday st 11 o'clock, from the Church of the Divine Paternity, Rev. Dr. Chapin's, on Fifth avenue, at the corner of Forty- fifth street. No special invitations will be sent out, but it is alrepdy krown that orgenizations of various kinds_are taking formal steps for attending in a body. The Herald to-morrow publishes s statement from the private secretary of Mr. Greeley showing that while ho originally wrote u brief general disclaimer of the ar- ticle ‘headed “Crumbs of Comfort,” De really ordered it suppressed himself, and Wrote another erticle treating the mulfer with even less concern than st first. Both articles were, s customary, cncloged to Mr. Reid, who ' wrote Alr. Greeley ho would hold them over until the morrow, end then act as Mr. Greoley might desire. Nost dey Mr. Gree- ley expressed n wish to have no reference mede to the matter, and his eat- isfaction with what Alr. Reid had done. He wss et theoffice the day after and the follow- ing Monday, and wrote_three articles for the ZTribune, which were publisked. The brotherly intimacy and warm effection which existo between Mr. Reid and him was never interrupted for & moment, and his last sct was & glance of recognition towarda him and m effort to extend to him his almost pulseless Loxvos, Eng,, Nov. 80, 1872.—10 the Editor the Tri of ibune—Ste: 1 caumot tell you how grioved I was to hear this moming of Mr. Grocleys death: I received, a few momenta since, a letter frem Mr. John Bright expressing grest regret at the illness, as ho says. of " our friend, Horaco Greeley.” Pleaso tll Miss Grecley Low decply I sympathise with her.

Williams, Mr. Greeley's friend and counsel, gives tho following history of his ‘mental condition after the first great reverse to the Union crmy in 1861: Tt was on Sunday morping, sfter the first battlo of Bull Run, 1 was then living at 48 West Sixtcenth strcot, New York. Mr. Greeley called ab my house vory early in the morning. I opened the door and walled into the parlor. I noticed that he wis vory . meloncholy. Thoro wes pome of -his usuel vivecity. I Imew what the trouble was, and refrained from met- tioning our_defeat, hoping to distract his thoughts. He said littlo or nothing. He seomed absorbed in thonght. In about sn hour, the ‘brealfast-bell rang, and we walked in to break- fast. The same depression continued. He sat with his hesd bowed, and said nothing, refusing £o eat for ebout ten minutes. Then he aid, in his usgal ploasant voice: “Can I go to your study and lie down?” I replied, “Yos;” and le went out. 1 found him there a few min- utes later, and saw that he wes suffering intense mental engnish, I rallied him or his melancholy, aud he looked up at mo and gaid, *“I fear all is lost. The country is gone.” T cudeavored to cheer him, but'it _seemed impossible to rally im. felt tiat Dhis heart had been crushed. Onoe in & while ho esclaimed, ““0,” #0," “0l the country is gome.” Iagain endeavorod to console Lim, and to distract his thoughts. I sent for Isasc Shermen, also o personal friend of Mr. Greeloy, and we conversed cheerfully in his presence sbout the defeat, taking the most hopeful view of affeirs, until dinner time. Wo all went to dinner, but Mr. Greeley ate nothing. I advised him to _fake & cup of tes, _but ho rofused. Sometimes, when weals apd Dervous. coach, and we took a ride throngh the That night Mr. Grecley e ALy Ioflgmiei;nl_c&llgd on him the next day and found little if any better. I advised iim to go to Chappaqua and take the country air. He went out there and romained two weeks, John C. Forguson wopb with him. For several dxfi: hodid not sleep fifteen minutes at a time. ", Ferguson would walk out with him and keep him out until he becsme exhansted, then he wonld slecp e few minutes, and in that Wway he finally rogained his normal condition.

The announcement in Sundey’s TRIBUNE that Rev. Dr. Ryder would prea¢h & sermén on the death of Horace Greeloy, drew together on yes- terdny forenoon & very large sudience at the Synagogue, corner of Wabash avenue and Peck Court, the temporary meoting plateof §t.Paul's (Universalist) congregation. Many prominent mémbers of orthodox Churches wWere presont, and all listened with rapt attention toDr. Ryder's able effort. For the beaefit of our readers liv- ing in the country, and the thousands in this city who could not attend, we herewith give the germon in full. Choosing for hig text the nine- teenth chaptor of Job, twenty-fifth verse: *For Ilgaznw that my Redecmer liveth,” Dri Ryder s0id: THE EERMON. 5 Upon many believing lips these words have rested, since they were originally uttered. And, whatever may be said by Biblical critics, as to tho freedom of the translation, this sentence has become ?pmpriatefl by the Chsistinn Church, and includes not simply faith in God, but confi- dence in His moroy, with_the hope of another lifo. The distinguished oditor of whom I am to speak this morning, is said to have em};loyed these words among the st he uttered. I have thought them, thérefore, cspecially appropriate as o text for the present occasion, Thoso of you who know me will, perhaps, not need the assurance that I enter upon this duty with sadness. My feelinga are not often 80 deeply moved by the denth of public msn, I knew Mr. Greeloy well, and I respected him much. I should like, in your presence, to do justice to his memory, and truthfully to draw Trom his distinguished cercer such lessons as be- it the ds & aro suited to our personal needs. “There is, it/seems to me, something inexpress- ibly solemn in this steady march of death. Greeley and Seward have their differences. Each ally défends his own views and policy; & fow yoars puss by, aud both are swept away by the 2dvauting flocd. So men rise up all about us, each battiing for his interests, for tho right as 1o 8208 it, oF, it may bo, for the wrong, while time with undoviating tread moves onward, and the good and the bad, the high and the low, are buried out of sight forever. While this should not discourage _activity, or_controversy, in the excreise of laudable ambition even, it should torch us all 5 lesson of forbearance one toward another, and of humility before God. That the service of this hour may deepen in our minds the conviction that, while a noble life is the best gift of God toLis children, we are ak +he same time cll dependent upon the mercy of ous Heavenly Father, and neod constantly the help of the assurance, *I know thatmy Re- dewmer liveth,” i8 our bearty prayer, a3 we pro- ceed to the task before us. Horace Greoley was too well known by all intelligent American citizens to render it neces- gary to present an estonded biogrephical history of him. These few fects are all that I deem it reedful to give. Tlorace Greeley was born in'Amherst, N. H., Feb. 3, 1611, and was consequently 61 years of ge et the tima of his death. His parents were forers. Dut Horace early showed a fondnesa for books, read all within his reach, and not & fow of them by the light of pine knots, then somewhat in use, and obtained without the cost of candles.or oil. In 1626, then 15 years old, he entered a newspaper office in Vermont, eud in 1931, then 20 years of age, he went to New York, here he at once commenced work at his favorite occupation. There ore pictures crtaut of his supposed . persousl appearance 2t this poriod, Poos, indifterent in regard to his dress, awkward in manner, he gave to the superficial observer ~ery little promise of what ho was to become. The Now York Tribune wag started April 10, 1841, with Mr. Greeley as editor, then 30 years oid. Mr. Greeley was married in 1836, His wife, to whom he was very devoted, died abouta month since. Two dsugliters survive them. It has taken but & momant to give these lead- ing facts in tho personal history of Mr. Greeloy. But what o contrast between this brief record and the actual work for which that life stands. Whet question which has interested the Amer- ican peopl for tho pest thirty has his busy brain ot considered 2 What topic in gohhcfl, religion, morals, social advarcoment, has be not dis- cussed? For tho past thirty years the personal career of Horace Greeley has “been a part of the country. Advanced from the ‘humble, uncouth printer, to the recognized leader of the whole editorial corps,—*the foremost journalist in the land,"—no words of mine,—mot even the combined intelligence : of the newspupers of the country, though Josirous to express their sppreciation of his groat influence,—can adoquately portray the im- pression which the former's sop, the swkward printer-boy, tho foithful, loving pushmd.‘lgha indefatigable cditor, and the consistent Cf tian, hes exerted upon civilized life. His place in ohr national history will be readily found, and into that place a grateful Republic will as- suzedly put him. ‘Horace Grecloy was, in many respects, a typic- al Americen, He illustrated in his remarkable carcer the capabilities of our institutions in lift- ing into prominence the really great men of the nation. We like to think of that humble lad on the farm in New Hampshire, and then, by con- trast, while the whole nation bends in sorrow over his romains, get & _glimpso of the nobility of our manhood, and of the gflusihilifisa vithil reach of the humblest_child born upon our soil. What gave Mr. Greeley this marked success? What wero his distinguished characteristica? ‘How much of what ha became was fortuitous ? Horace Greeley was by nature intellectually great. Few men have been born with gifts hich make it possible, however industrious they may be, for them to fill so large & place in the history of the world. He was also an inces- gant student. His brain was full of facts. The Tange of his thoughts was vast, and rarely did o fail both to interest and instruct the reader. He had, moreover, & very extensive n_:emonzg. The results of his reading, observation; think- ing, were available. ~He was thus able to write and speak on many topics, and rarely misstated & fact. Those of you who have examined his History of the Rebellion may well inquire, how & busy editor ever found time to writo such & voluminous history. But I have been told by the Western agent of the publishers of those volumes, that the editor actually wrote but Jittle of the work, thathe daily met two gkilled reporters, and talked to thew what he wished to say,—literally tallked the whole history of the Rebellion out of his wonderful memory. The editor's princips] labor was in reviewing and revising the sheets they thus furnished him. Those remarkable resources Mr, Greeley ap- plied Lo the consideration of practical themes. 1t was soon seen that he was a friend to hu- manity. That his broad mental scope, was more than equalied by the sympathies of his beart. All that he did and enid, the people began to see was in the interest of truth, righteousness, and of secret good order. And so they believed in ‘him, and opened their minds and hearts to his words. Ono fact greatly aided bim. His newspaper was conducted upon a brosder basis than those about him. Ho believed in free discussion from boyhood. ~And 80 he opered the columns.of his poer to both sexes. 'This was a new featurs. ‘he party trammels were Jargely ignorod. Tho New York Tribune was thus accepted by the people as the Champion of Equal Rights. It stocd squarely for Freedom. Slavery it hated, and emote a8 with a rod of irom. Northern men, whose minds were alive to the questions of the hour, of all parties snd of o party, read the paper, ‘and were stirred by its earnest words, In popular phrase, they fired tho heart of the nation. The editor, all’ came to feel, wes an honest man, Iaboriously working for the public welfare, and for a more advanced condition of public feeling. And so the New York Tribune came to be regarded 2s o kind of National forum, snd as the chsmpion of that true independence in journalism to which our free institutions seem £0 eminently fitted, but of which, up to that time, there wero no promi- nenb ezamples. . * Having mads this innovation in jourpalism in the case of unpopulsr social doctrines, he had the coumrsgo to persovere, and up tothe last case spproved and adopted as & rule by every leading journal in the country.” There is no difference of opinion as to Mr. Greeley's personal worth: He was a good man. Strict and decorous in_hig relatious %., society, be had, &8 has been well siid, thst rire integrity that not_only was never corrupted, bat_ te- pelled all advances of corruption, no matter how msxdw.nsla or }ndixeqfly made.” "I am not aware that Mr. Ureeloy vioistod i his gonduct either of the Ten Commandments. Certainly d3 & busband and father his life was irreproachable. Ihave seen it stated in certain nowspapers that ke used profene Isnguage frequently. I can only say, Foot Trorar ond tits veas rofang met word, and I have ingfimd of those who Lim frequently in New York, and they say the same: My belief, is, that he never, under any prosocation, used profinslengusge st all, or indulged in any of those coarse and vulgar 6x- prossions that too .often greatly weaken tho influence for good of our public men, The bitter words sgukfln and written sbout Mr. Brptegey &‘inrihg tho lats Pxesgdenfid S paign, it is not'my purpose to gather up here. il ot thoro i5 ond charge brogght sgaiast him which is 8o conspicuously unjust, and so false to the whole genius of the man, that I cannot prop- erly omit to name it; I refer to thecharga that he Was an “inveterate office-seeker.” To those e is absurd, for a8 mMOre con- spicuous than his unselfishness. He did nob work for himself, but for the people, for truth, for freedom, and thet; too; with a decided disre- gaxd of his own comfort and welfare: __ So far g8 I can learn, he never held but two offices in his whole public career, and they were to fill out an. unexpired termof threo months in Congress and a single term as Senator in the State Assembly. Had Horace Greeley been an office-seeker, had he been tho obedient subject of his party, and worked for his personal aggrandizement, wLat of- fice might he 5ot have had,—nay, rather, what scores of offices mighthe not have filled ? It is o shame, a dishonor to journalism, thus to misropresent o public man. That Horace Greeley had no ambition I do not say ; but I do not think he has any more than he should have had. 8tillhe knew in later years, what he was to the American Nation, and what he could do. He had a right to seo these things a8 they were. Ambition he had, but it was of that kind which lofty minds feel, whose leeding wish is to gain success, 80 as to confer the larger benefif. That Mr: Greeley had any distinct Srurpose of ever becoming a candidate for the_ Presidency; until very recently, I don’t believe. His whole ca- reer, marked a8 were his personal qualities, makes such & supposition improbable. And af Cincin- nati, eays one of our city papers, in & condition toknow: ‘‘He wasmade & candidate, not by the tricks of politicians; butin spite of them. His nomination was opposed by every person_to whom the term politician may be applied. His nomination was never contemplated by those who called that Convention. It was an involun- tary tribute to_ his intellectual greatness and personal integrity.” And it is remarkablo that Mr. Greeley is the only man who has been nominated for tie Presi- dency, simply on his own personal merits, With- out regard to those adventitious circumstances which lift many into prominence. Ho was taken for what he was, and thousands felt that the strength of his character, his exalted personal worth, would elect him. They judged wrongly : ‘but the fact is none the less clear, that the nom= ination was o tribute to his intellectual greatness and personal integrity. In seversl of the articles which have come un- der my notice, suggeeted by Dir. Greeley's death, reference is made to his mistakes. Asif frequently in his life time, he had made prodigi- ons blunders. I have tried carefully to call to mind those ““mistakes.” What arc they? It would ba well for those who so deliberately make these charges, to inform the gub]jc, in de- tail, what these ** mistakes” are, about which it seems g0 necessary for the public to be inform- ed. “3r. Greeley was & great 2nd good man,” it is snid, **but then he was very unxeliable, and was continually making blundera.” Isreference had, in such observations as theze, to the fact that Mr. Greeley signed the bail-bond cf Jeffer+ gon Davis? Was that ome of his blunders? History will not so record it The act, at the time, shocked the feelings of mamy of his friends, but the conviction is rapidly ~gaining. oxd. that Mr. Greeloy was wiser thin those who con~ demned him. T suppose that alargo part of this impression 84 to Mr. Grecley's vaséillating courso and re- pested blunders, lies in the fact that he was often at variance with his party. He wasnota good party-man. He often repudiated party setion. Politicians called himvascillating, when, in truth, he was simply honest. Judging Horace Greeley by the standard of %my Toalty, bis_course is open to criticism. ecognizing the decieions of the party as ex- posed in csucusses and conventions, or by its accepted ropresentstives, a3 infallible, the chargo_that he wes an unsafe leader can bo maintained. But this is not & propor stund- point from which to judge the man. He con- sidered a political party tho representative of jdess. He was identified with a particular party because he believed that party, if successful, would most fully promote the interests of the nation. This was _the extent «of his devotion to it. He never agreed to have mno opinions of his own, nor to declare Do party right when ho knew it was wrong, Tho New York 7Tribune was not conducted on_those torms. Of course, this exposcd the cditor to censure, but this party censure did not provo the editor in the wrong. This is not saying that Horace Greeley nover made mistakes in judgment, and that he had no infirmities of disposition ; it is simply afirming that errors of this kind wero not conspicuous in his carcer. But, if the distinguished editor did sometimes writo hasty words,” or did employ language improperly severe, of wes at fault in his judg- ‘ment, i8 it euy wonder, considering how much o wrote, and that about everything ho said and @id in a1l those busy years, went to the types and to the country? Let us not be unreasona- Ble. The editor of & newspeper, Lowever prom- incat it mey be, is but & man, with no opportunities of judging what ~is wisest n.ng best which are not open to other intelligent people. From the nature of his employment, he cannob wait to consult Bis neighbors, or deliberately to investigato tho subjoct in hand. The article must be written then and thero. Is it any wonder, then, that the wisest of men, 5o circumstanced, sometimes ke mistakes ? " £ Tho large majority of people make up their minds on the basis of other poople’s thinking, R oo can quite certainly tell whiat most people Fill say on & particular topie discussed by the morning papers, when ho knows what papers they roea Independent thinking, to many, might bo numbered smong the lost arts, only ‘that they never had it. And it would, at least, ‘be modest in those who simply echo other peo- le's thonghts, to reflect that those who really go the thinking for them may sometimes be ab fault, like other people. . Do you never s, a8 yon take up a morning paper, still demp from the press, who has done PN this work?—done, & large share of it, while you havo been asleep. Rarely have I appreciated 1he value of an enterprising, intelligent news- paper, more than on yesterdsy morming. Ihad nct heard of the death of Ar. Greeley, until the announcement there met my eye. And there by tho side of the sed fact, were all the leading facts, of his sickness and ‘Qeath, a brief bio- graphical sketch, and, in TuE TRIBUXE, espe- Eially, a most_appreciative and comprehensive articls on the life and services of the i;;m jour- palist—an article o full and admirable that one might suppose it written at the most deliberate leisuro. = i 'And T desiro to emphasize the value to society of & traly great newspaper.

Let us be grateful that so much of what he was, and of what he has done, still remains to bless the world. Horacé Greeley will be spgrecinted by the American npation. I do not doubt thaf.

Buys the New York Times : ** There is not & msn in any part of the country who will not receivg the news of Mr. Greeloy's death with sorrow.” Says the New York Herald, ‘“His charncter as a citizen, friénd, and neighbor is sans peur, sans reproache. As his life wis cdmired death Al be segrotted by ncountiess host of friends in both hemispheres, and all creeds ind races of ‘men, and his enemies will be disarmed in stris ing the balance between his merits and his fail- ings. In that broad field of journalism which emmbraces liberty to the elsve, ralief to the sick and unfortunate, comfort to ths noor, imowledgo to the ignorant, and the general elevation of the Dhumen family, we recoguize in the loss of 3Ir. Greeley the foss of & powerful public bene- factor.” . This is all true; and eulogies to the eame effect will fall eround the dead body of Horace Greeloy a8 _thickly as the snow flakes of this morning. But they are all in vain to him whose heart was broken by abuse, and whose con- Bcientions nature was wounded on every side. And has it come to this ? Can no man run for the Presidency of the United Btates ‘without being blackguarded as if ho were a discharged convict? And if thers bo in his life little to base an sccusation upon, must falsehoods be invented, cod_by thoso who_claim to bo gentle- men an Ylossibly Christians ?_ Is this the stand- ing of politics in _the United States? And are 5 expected, a1l of us, to bow down to the party ‘behest, and echo these slanders? Alas! that there should be any occasion to ask these ques- tions! Alas! that the deed body of the defeated candidate should so distinctly indicate to us the 8ad snewer. We havo said that Mr. Greeley was not a con« sistont party man. _Independent jomrnalism was his special field. You will infer from this that ho hes opposed to orgmizntmn, or to systematic effort, Personally he gave no aid to 10080 social ideas and customs. He claimed frea Bpeech ond fair play for all the isms of the land, and those who believed in the isms, and some othets, supposed for that reason that the editor Was on their side, Not 80, gonerally, He was after the truth; and that he thought could best be reached by pretty free discussion, z Tn theology Alr. Greeley was & Universalist: & constant attendant, for many years, upon the ministry of Roy, Dr. Chapin. - When I made my appoal in your behalf, soon after the fire, in Drs Chapin’s_church, Mr. Greeley Wwas among those who tarried after the congregation had been digmissod, and in a fow words commended warm- 1y the appeal, and made his contribution. He was in full sympethy . with the _conservative element in our Church; and gave his mfluence in our late attempt to place the demomination upon & working basie, His special id2a of denominetional %Dficy was & book establishment, like that which has 80 much pided the Methodists. The people, he said, are ignorant of our viowsj give them clear siate- ments of what they believe, ind they will soon .| beliftad cut of their prejndices and placed be- yond thoreach of misrepresentation. He seemed to havo unbounded faith in the force of facts. And when it was made apparent that the plan he desired adopted, and which he recom- mended to the denomination in a brief address at our great contennial meeting in Glouces- tor, . would be rejected, bLe did nof conceal his disappointment and regret, and expressed earnestly the hope that some such plan might be_ realized in the city of New York,of which Le afterwards st a public meeting in Dr. Chapin's Church, made an eloguent de- fence. A qnite full statement of his theological opinions may be found in his Recollections of Busy Life. = Horace Greeley was not s religious enthusi- ast, and gave, comparatively, but o small por- tion of lus time to the consideration of religious subjects. On the other hand e was by no means indifferent to the obl’ 3ations of religion. He was almost always at church, when within reach of his usual place of worship, efter waik- ing a long distance £o be in his accustomed seat. FI5 was o man of deep religions feeling, Hebe- lieved in God, the Father Everlasting, and in Josus Christ His Son, snd in the Bible as an au- thoritative statement of the Divino Will. He had no sympathy with that phase of so-called Chris- tiapity which leaves man * without God and without hope in the world.” £ T: seems esperielly sad for Mr. Greeley to die just ot this time, when the lustre of his splendid career is somewhat obscured by the late Presi- dential campaign, and so soon too, after the death of his wife. Could he have lived a single ear even, the asperities of the campaign would have been forgotten, and he taken bis old place, and his true place, at the head of his journal. ‘But whet might have been, it is useless now to conjecture. He is dead. The strong frame is broken; the warm heart is still in death. That the candidaturefor the Presidency shorten- ed his life, i8 more than likely, but, Idoubtif that Were tho real cause of his death. I putthe case thus: The cause of his death was overwork; the occasion of it the double sorrow_ of buryin; Tis wife, and the fooling thathe had been place Defore the public in & position which he ought not to havo occupied. His death is anothor instance of our overworked public men. He gave himself almost literally no rest, His &trength was exhausted. He was literally worn out from his_prodigious toil—this incessant Sriting. thinking, talking, journeying, until he could ondure nomore. His retirement to the farm now and then for a little rest, nominally, actually gave him no rest. For he took his work there—hin busy brain, and toiling pen went with him. So that even while ontwardly e exercised his muscles by cutting down a trec. he at thesame time tasked his nervous system by wreatling with some intcllectual problem that counteracted the bencficial effects of his attempt- ed recreation. f “ The grent oldman isdead,” says one of the New York pepers, ‘was the familiar ntterance on tho streets, as friends met. Yes, dead : 80 s0om, 8o suddenly, and so sadly—dead. The pen has fallen from his hand,—that pen which he hns done ro much to show can be made * mightier than the sword.” ‘“Itis dome.” Bo like the words of Him, in whom hetrusted. “It is fin- ished.” A good man, large of brain, large of heart, robust in body, generous and kindly; sim- plein his tastes and feelings, o lover of the truth, and a hater of sin and error in all their forms, devoted as a husband, affectionate as a Tather, —ho forms a type of character eminently American, peculiar ‘among our representative ‘but most like that of Benjamin Franldin. And the difference between the two men is scen, perhaps, in a certain eccentricity in refer- ence to %mongl appearance, as in any other re- spect. Franklin had s fine form, & noble pres- ence, and he knew it. He liked cultivated soci~ oty, and was careful to appear in his best, as became him. Greeley, on_the other hand,was caroless in his dress, and indifferent &8 to his appearance. He took more pride, I judge, in his old white coat and hat, than in any other style of dress. And, likely, he was a little vain of these, For sotiety ho had no liking. The pres- ence of fashionable people, especially of fash- ionable women, he did not enjoy, but escaped from a8 5000 as ho could. He was happiest in his quiet Thome, and in his office, alona with his work. Great and noble men, both of them. Our country, in these days of extravagance snd fashionable sins, has need of them both. And s0, farewell. One by one we take up the staff, and march toward the grave. One by one we gather up life’s record, and enter the Eternal City. Bome by one road, some by another, but surely to all of us the summons Will come. Happy, then, if, with trusting faith, We can 88y, “Well done, good and faithinil servaat. Enter r-__thou into the joy of thy Lord.” NEW YGRK. Fronde and Burke—Surveyor of tae Port—Schooners Wrecked—Miscella= neous Loeai News. New Yozg, Dec. 1.—Mr. Fronde announced, in hia rojoinder to Father Burke, lost night, that henceforth, while in this country, he will not reply to his asssilants, but will confine him- self to Liis original course of lectures. The con- troversy between himself and Father Burke has been rapidly sssuming & sectarian aspect. Father Burke's hearers were almost exclusively Cathrolic, and at Froude's lecture lasi evening, 10 less than fourteen distinguished Protestant clergymen occupied seats on the platform. BMr. Froude proved -some of Father Burke's historical data to be the reverse of accurate. “It is hardly becoming two British subjects in this couniry,” said Mr. Froude, “to be disputing about any decay of Great Britain.” _He denied t hat he had doubted the cournge of Irishmen. Their courage is no- torious and _splendid, but not in & b cause.” He admitted that Father Burke had made the Tmost thorough and symmetrical counter-state- mont yet piven to the world, but he ably and Tather humorously controverted its figures and histories] statements. The spesker reiterated that he ioved the Irish peasent no less than Father Burke, but not the Irish demagogne. Ho ‘Topes to see the Irish peasunt taken from under the power of the landlords, and made answer- sble to no suthority but law.

Nzw Yorx, Dec. 1.—The four men who re- cently reached shore in & boat of the Missouri, after ten days of starvation and extreme suffer- ing, have armived in New York. Of the nine men who embarked in the boat, these four Wers the smallest, their larger and heavier compan- jons heving become wild with delifium and plunged into the sea. The survivors bave “recovered, and now look hearty ss usual. They eay that after threo days of fasting, thirst obliterated hunger, and, but for a rain, all must have perished. The men who jumped over- board were seized by sharks and torn asunder. They preferred suicide to olow torture. When sesctied, the limbs of the four men were covered ‘ith sores. For five days they clung to the ‘boat, before they could bailher,and_during that time got no sleep. On the eighth day, a small fiyinghish was caught, beyond which' they had Tothing to eat for nine days. Colonel Albert Evans was among those drowned while boats were leaving the wreck. New Yorg, Dec. 1.—Charles Conway, fireman of the steamer Misgouri, in giving the story of the loss of the vessel, tells also the story of the Joss of Colonel Albert S.

THE MODOC INDIANS. United States Troops Endeavor to Pers suade them to Go on a Heservation— Fifteen Women XKilled and Their Camp Demoralized. Sax Fraxcisco, Dec. 1.—The Commissioner of Indian Affairs in Oregon ordered Superin- tendent Ordneal to put the Modoo Indianson the Klamath Reservation, by force, if necessary. He went in person. The Modocs refused to go, and the matter of removal was referred tothe military suthorities. On the 28th Major Jackson, itk Company B, First Cavalry, thirty-five men, left Fort Klamath for the camp of the odocs, near the mouth of Lost River, Oregon, sur- Tounded the camp, and requested an interview. The Chief of the Indians was told that the sol- diers did not come to fight them, but to o&mt them on the reservation. The Modoc refused to comply, and wers ordered tolsy down his arms, During the parley, an In- dian raised a gun and fired at~ Lieutenant Bout- elle, but missed his aim. Boutelle returned the fire and Lilled the Indisn. There was then in- stantaneous firing on both sides. The battle 1asted for two hours, and was a very desperate fight. Onesoldier was killed and four wounded. 0 citizens, William Nass and Hurcher, were killed. Fifteen Modocs were Lilled, and all the women and children and many horses were cap- tared. The Indians retreated to the hills, and in the afternoon returned and commenced fring. At Iast accounts the fight was going on. Sixty Modocs were engaged, both sides expecting re- ififlfr;-ements.
