"A Boston correspondent ofthe Chi
cago Tribune writes the following do
nestle gossip in regard TO the pioneer
anti-slavery reformer:
I visited the great pioneer ofthe anti
| slavery movement, Mr.. William Lloyd
Garrison, al his home In Roxhury, near
/ Boston. and had the honor and pleasure
OF accepting an invitation to take tea
| with himself aud family. It may not
be generally known that Mr.. Garrison
has been prevented from taking. his
usual active part In public affairs, our,
| ing the last twelve months by raII
| which severely Injured his right arm
and shoulder. He is now, however,
nearly recovered, and his general health
is much improved OF late. Nj. Garrt-
SON sails for Europe the trst OF May,
to be absent till July or August. MS
Garrison has also been great suuer-
er during the last three years nom the
effects Of paraiytic shock. Thus has
this great and good man, and his tamt-
", suffered domestic misfortune and
affliction during the years OF all others
when the triumph Ofthe cause TO which
he and they have devoted their lives,
has been such abundant source OF re-
ioicing. May they soon experience the
passing away Of the cloud, and live YET
many years to rejoice In the triumph OF
universal liberty, which their labors
have contributed SO largely TO bring
about. Mr.. Garrison has four sons and
n daughter living. One is editor OF the
Nation, two are wool merchants In Bos.
ton, and one Is at college. The daugh-
ter. one OF the most beautiful of Amert-
can women, is now in Europe, and the
wife of your special correspondent at
Paris. -.
The misery brought upon the South
by the rebellion is forcibly portrayed
In the following letter from the widow
OF rebel soldier in Wilson county, \.
c., to the Raleigh Standard:
Mr.. Holden: I am a poor soldiers
widow, aud have no assistance at all.
Ny husband was conscripted, dragged
of to the. war aud killed. He left me
and his children without a home. The
place where 1 live has been sold, and 1
am to be put out OF doors, and where to
go know not. 1 have no money and
scarcely nothing to eat. My work viii
u friend to ask you what to do. Ny
husband was loyal man, but he was
poor, consequently he was bound to
obey.
The "Ou to Richmond" articles that
in the New York Tribune Just
previous to the battle of Bull Run in
1851, have recently became matter of
newspaper discussion. The following
gossip in regard to the Tribune leaks
out from the pen of the editor Of the
Rochester Democrat:
1.-THE editor of the Democrat was en-
ployed editorially upon the Tribune in
the early part of 1861, taking the place
of Mr.. Dana, whose eyes did not at
that time endure the night work. At the
same time he was during the day asso-
ciated with Mr.. Dana on the Netc
american CyeLop9did. He is, there
fore, able to speak with confidence Of
the management of the Tribune at that
period. Mr. Greeley as he himself adj
mitted in the article OF July 25th, was
mainly responsible for urging the rash
advance upon Manassas, and was
wholly responsible for the far worse
articles which at an earlier period en-.
courAged secession. Those articles, we
know, were strougly disapproved by
Mr.. Dana, as they were by every one
else in connection with the Tribune ex-
cept the writer of them. The disagree
ment between Mr.. Greeley and Mr..
Dana which led to the lafter's with
drawal from the Tribune, to the det-
riment OF the paper had its
Greeley's unwise and unpatriotic views
as to the best mode of dealing with the
rebellion. BE suppressed some of Mr..
Greeley's most outrageous articles, and
his only fault as manager of the Iri6-
IEHe was that he did not suppress
more. He yielded too much his own
better Judgment to the Whims of his
nominal chief, whose knowledge OF
turnips Is unimpeachable, but whose
opinions on politics or public affairs
are of very little real value. Mr.. Gree
ley writes we'll, and has good deal OF
skill in attacking error and in de-
nouncIng meanness and villaiuy; but
II he had the management OF a party,
he would run it into the ground In a
twelvemonth; and ifhe were, as the de-
luded public supposes, the real editor
of the Tribune, that excellent journal
would rapidly fall from It's high estate.
The owners Of the Tribune are well
aware of this, and while they value
highly, as they ought TO, the prestige
of Mr.. Greeley's name, they take good
conducts the paper, and whose chief
difficulty always consists in keeping
the good Horace from dosing foolish
things. ~ - -7
