Ross was on his way TO Portland, and asserted his
intention TO accompany hun; SAID that he was

Kornce greeley Insane.

The Louisville papers treat as fact
the announcement that Horace Gree
lev has become Insane. The Ledger
says, it will create throughout the
length aud breadth of the land feelings
of profound commiserstion, and with
a large number of people the mislor
tune will be regarded in the light of a
national calamity. Viewed from any
stand point, the verdict must be that
Horace Greeley is great man. Start
ing from the lowly walks of life-alone
aud unaided, he has, by his industry
and native ability, placed himself Sc
curely by the side of the great men of
the country, past and present; and in
this hour of his great adversely, the
great and the good of the land will
not fail to place upOg record their ad
miration of his intellectual triumphs
aud of his purity of character.
The severity Of the ordeals through
which Mr. Greeley has of late been
cslled to pass, few are capable of esti-
mating. None can know how intimate
ly interviewer was his hearts affections
with those of the wife of his bosom,
who so recently has been taken from
him. None can know the strain which
the recent presidential campaign
brought to bear upon his meutal facul-
ties, aud with death in his home and
defeat at the polls, his great mind has
succumbed. Before such misfortune
all partisan asperities are hushed-Hs
they would be at the grave. 1t is to
be hoped that the affection will prove

great mind, which has in many ways
contributed to the good Of mankind,
will soon be as clesr and as healthy ~
