Death Ot q Dlttlnt ulthpu idAeV-"t~Ht'
A great literary light has been
qucnched, Judge Alexander u.
Need ia dead.
This melancholy ncws reached us
through the Mobile Tribune, which
contained n telegraphic dispatch
from Mr.. Lewis A. Middleton, dated
at Columbus Miss, November LIST,
in these words Judge A. D. Meek
died this morning at two o'clock OF
affection Of the henrt. Hespent an
hour or two J esterday in my office,
and slined with him and familv.--
His health and spirits seemed bet
ter than for months past"
Judge Neck was born in Charles
ton, South Carolina, in 1917 or 1918.
He came to Alabama when it was a
territory, and was educated at the
University at Tuscaloosa.
In early life, he became famous
for his literary genious. Among
our earliest recollecticus are: "Land
of the South Marriage Fete," and
other poetical productions, publish
ed in The ,southron, at Tuscaloosa,
and edited by Meek, and in the
Southern Literary Messenger
In 1853. were published from the
New York press. "Red Eagle" a
long, heroic poem; Songs Of the
South and ''Passages from South
western History" For years Judge
Meek was engaged on a History OF
Alabama which remains, we be-
lieve, unfinished.
During the late war, little was
heard Of him, save an occasional "
ric, which rang out clearand strong
as the blast of a bugle. In the lat
ter part Of the struggle, he married
gifted and lovely lady at Column
bus, Miss; and just before the fall
Of Mobile, he sent the editor Of this
paper, then the editor Of the Army
Awas and CRISIS, beautiful and
touching poem, inwhich he felicita-
tep himself upon his domestic hap
pincss.
Judge Meek was not only an ac-
complished and brilliant writer, but
an orator of extraordinary po owers
We remember that on the reception
of Louis Kossuth in Mobile, Judge
Meek, in one of his most splendid
oratorical efforts, lowered like gil
antabove the Hungarian. Kossuth
was wholly eclipsed.
Somehow, he had too much gen
ius, literary and political, for public
life. he was twice appointed, not
elected. Judge; and with all the of
forts of his friends to send him to
Congress, where his great abilities
wouldhavc made him q burning
and a shining light, he was beaten
by intrepid mediocrity.

The venerable Judge Burnett who
left Texas some weeks ago, as q
delegate from the old San Jacinto
Texans, bearing their petition to
President Johnson for his clemency
towards Mr. Davis, has arrived in
Washington City.
TheNational intelligencer, which,

The tenderness cf the veteran
Texans for the distinguished pris-
oner of Fortress Monroe, striking

being the chief Of the greatest civil
revolt in history, plainly stipulated
for the awful responsibilities which
might supervene over his own head.
He who consents to accept antheri-
ty, should, pre-emincntly in self

pie who obey him. inexorably bound
to commensurate responsibility.

liberal a clemency for Mr. Jefferson
