PARTON'S LIFE OF GREELEY.

One Of tie most interesting and
valuable Of American biographies, is
the "Life OF Horace Greeley" by
james Parton. The life of Mr.. Gree
ley has been closely interviewer with
what has been the most commanding
an American affairs for more than q
third of q century. Indeed, this story
Of his life gives the reader by no
means an inadequate glimpse Of
American history for the past thirty
years. 1t is the story of a life that
commenced in the greatest obscurity,
and has grown into the greatest emil
nenco.s, 1t has been busy life, the
busiest, probably. in the land, crowded
with events, full Of bravo words and
generous deeds, ami marked by pccu-
liarities greater, and characteristics
stronger, than, perhaps, those Of any
other American citizen.
The subject, therefore, would com
mand respectful and eager attention
though handled by an unskflful pen.
But Mr.. Parton is master. He has
long been well and widely known in
our literature. lie is keen and
brilliant essayist: an incisive and
sparkling writer of English, ard a
careful and exhaustive scarcher after
facts. lie does not touch pen to
paperin the composition Of a book,
till the entire field Of investigation
has been explored, and everything
directly Or indirectly bearing on his
theme thoroughly digcsted.
In preparing this work, he spent
several months in visiting the town
where Str. Greeley was born and the
various places where he subsequently,
lived, collecting all the information
about bis early life that it was posi-,
ble to obtain. It Is not, therefore, q
hastily or lily contrivcd qools, labeled
Life of Greeley" but a work which
will always be the authoritative rec
ord Of the three-score years of Mr.
Grceley's life that have already passee
into history. 1t would be a valuable
addition to any library at any time
but, just now, its opportuneness give:
it added interest.
1t is elegantly bound, we'll illustra
ted; and in consideration of the grea
popular demand for the work it is solt
for little more than half the ruling
book prices.

Meeting of the Democratic State Exec,
utiVe Committee.

The Democratic State Executive
Committee, after a full and free
conference, have adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions as embodying
the policy, in their opinion, proper
to be pursued by the Democracy OF
the State in the present canvass:
!. Resolved, That in the present
state of parties in South Carolina,
we deem it unwise to nominate a
Democratic State ticket, and de-
cline, therefore, to call a convention
of the people for that purpose.
9. Resolred, That having adopted
the policy thus indicated, we de-
mand of the Republican party that
they fulfill, in good faith, their pub
lie pledges, and give to the State
an able, honest, and economical
government, under which eXtrava-
gance and fraud shall cease, and all
Glasses of citizens shall be faithfully
and intelligently represented.
3. ResolUed, That we now place
'on record our unqualified condem-
nation of the corruption and rob-
berry, which, as the Republicans
themselves confess, pervade the ex-
>ecutive and legislative departments
of the State government; for which
corruption and robbery the Repub-
Iican party Of this State, as sustain
cd by the Federal government, is
alone responsible.
4. Resolred, That we deem it of
the first Importance that the Demo
cratic party be organized IN the
several counties for the purpose tf
obtaining, by such means as may
seem best, the largest measure Of
local and Legislative reform.
s.. Resolred, That the Chairman
of this Committee appoint, at his
leisure, Chairman for each county
in the State, who shall carry out in
the respective counties the objects
Of the preceding resolutions.
NJ. G. BUTLER,
Chairman State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee.
The following resolution was
also adopted:
Resolred, That the members of
this Committee, from the different
Congressional Districts, have au-
thority 10 make arrangements for
the. nomination Of members to
Congress for their respective Dis
tricts.

THE RADICAL SPLIT IN SOUTH CAR
STANDS GRANT ?-How
far this split in the party may tend to
break up the organization in the
State, or to give the Conservatives a
chance in this future, remains to be
seen. The Boilers Convention was
not q large one, there being only
about fifty delegates present. But
two-thirds of these were negroes,
which is significant fact, showing
that there is q break in the .colored
phalaux. The parties of both Con-
vcntions claim to be pure Republicans,
supporters Of the Administration,
and in favor of the reelection OF
Gen. Grant. Which will the Admin
istration endorse? Probably it will
play the coquette, and exclaim, GLOW
happy could I be with eithcr! till
after the Presidential election. We
think the split fortunate one for
that nuch.suflering and negro-ridden
State, and hope it may lead TO thor
ough rcformation.-New York Herald.

Col. A1KEN's ADDREss.-The able
and interesting address Of Col. D. ".
Aiken, which was delivered in the
Court House on Thursday last, was
listened to with unflagging attention
by a goodly number of substantial
citizens, from whom we heard an
united expression Of qualification at
the pleasure offered by his instructive
and excellent effort. Col. Aiken at
tributed the main portion of our want
of prosperity as people to their
rcstlessness, lack of information, ab-
sence of union among the farmers,
and to the cultivation Of corn and
cotton-two of the most expensive
and exhaustive crops that can be put
lin the ground. Under each of these
heads, in a clear and forcible mannor,
the Colonel made practical illustra-
items to defend the position assumed
by him, and while he may not have
convinced every one Of his hearers
that he was right in every particular,
the ideas advanced by him furnished
food for reflection to thinking and
practical men, that "like bread cast
upon the waters" will yield its bene-
fetal results in days and years to
come. We fully agree with the editor
of the Spartonburg Spartan "lf the
State Agricultural Society had never
done anything moro than send Col
Aiken on his lecturing tour through
the State, it would have accomplished
a great work in developing the mate:
rial resources Of the country" And
our only regret, in connection with
his visit to this place, lies ii. the fact
that every farmer in Anderson was
not present to hear his plain, sensible,
practical talk concerning the best
method Of managing farm and econ
omizing their resources.

THE GREAT REBEL GENERAL.


A correspondent of the Louisville
Costrier-Jostr7aal writes rs follows of
the late General Robert Z. Lee:
On one occasion, in Lexington, a
certain distinguished orator made an
address in which he used some very
harsh expressions concerning the
northern people. After the address
was over, General Lee came to your
correspondent and said: II saw you
taking notes during the address. If
you propose to publish report of it,
| suggest that you leave out all of
those bitter expressions. They will
do US no good, and are, think, un-
dignified and unbecoming."
To q lady who brought her son to
Washington College, aud expressed
q wish that he should be taught ITO
hate Yankees" he replied: mo
such lessons shall be taught here,
madam, and you ought not to raise
your son with any such feelings. We
must now regard the United States
as our common country, obey its laws
and seek to forget as soon as possible,
the bitter memories of the war;"
General Lee declined all invitations
to attend, meetings which had any
connection with the war, carried out
the terms of his parole with the most
scrupulous exactness, and exerted n
quiet but most potent influence in get
ting his old soldiers and the people of
the South generally to "accept the
situation" and earnestly seek after
"the things which make for peace"
In this same spirit he refused to at
tend the Gettysburg Identification"
meeting, and wrote q noble letter, in
which he said: 81 think it wisest not
to keep open the sores of war, but to
follow the exemple OF those nations
who endeavor to obliterate the marks
of civil strife, and to commit to OBJ
livion the feelings it engenders."

LAPoRTE, IND, Nov. 16, 1872.

Mr.. MILLIKAN Il see by your col
umns of past issue, that you gave publi-
cation of the recent DR.. j. Donnelly and
Miss Rogers elopement from Valparaiso,
&c, as published originally by the Fadette
Please be kind enough to publish the fol-
lowing:
Dr. j. Donnally has brought suit against
Gurney of the Vidette, Valparaiso, Ind,
for malicious slander-damage placed at
$4,000; and the Dr. has secured the SER
vices of the following well known limbs
of the law: Judge Drummond, Of Indian
apolis, Ind; Messrs. Johnson and part
ner, OF Valparaiso; also Lawyer Merritield,
of Valparaiso; and Captain Crawley, of
Laporte, Ind He has also secured the
services of three other lawyers, whose
names will be forthcoming if required
We believe w H. Breeze, Esq. of Three
Oaks, Michigan, is among the promin
ent lawyers of the case. 1t is my opinion
that Dr. Donnally will make it exceeding
ly warm for the editor.
We called personally upon the Dr. and
his accomplished young bride, at the City
Hotel, in Valparaiso, on the 14th inst,
and mus. say that we were favorably i'm
pressed with them. The doctor seems to
be polished gentleman, and all whom |
heard speak of him, in Valparaiso, speak
in high terms of him. AS to his esti-
mable lady who, by the way-enter-
tanned us with sweet music on the piano
she being only second to to Laura Keen's
travelling pianist-and the first female
operator on the pianaforte it has been our
good fortune to meet. 1t is only proper
to. say that she is a Christian lady, and
one calculated to adorn home and make
happy the man whose choice she is.
We visited with the DR.. several hours,
and nothing would do but we must stay
for tea, which we did. After tea, the DIR.
sent out and got fresh oysters and an oys-
ter supper was soon served. After which
some excellent pieces were played and
sung; and after examining Recon-
mendaiion Of DR.. J. Donnelly," signed by
forty Of the leading merchants, lawyers,
doctors and farmers, of Three Oaks and
vacinity, we took leave of the happy pair,
thinking as we did so, that for once we
had met two persons who married for love.
Yours most respectfully.
