'fhe motion made by the learned Counsellor (Col. J. H. Rion) on be half of the Bar of the sixth Circuit andithe terms in which that motion was so eloquently prefaced meet with hearty responso in the breast of the presiding Judge. 'The achievemont of men who have by their well predicted efforts, exten ded the area of human knowledge, or diminishod the sum of human suffer ing are the property of their country. When such a man dios, the light of his great virtues is reflected upon his countrymen, and in paying tributary honors to him, they honor them solves. Horace Greeley the distinguished American, to whoso deith the motion relates, died after a brief illnes, at Tarrytown, New York, on the night of the 29th ultimo. His career fur. nishes an impressive example of the benefloient nature of our free institu. tions, which accord to all men, how ever humble, their ot igi, an equil chance in the race of life. He6 sprang from the loins of the people. Born sixty one years ago of parents who IVelonged to the hardy and independent yeomanry of New Hampshire, his early life was passed in poverty among the hard handed tillers of the soil. le gradu ated in a country common school, an institution which is the onduring bul wark of the State, and to which New England owes much of her great and deserved renown as the leader of American civilization. le entered upon his manhood as a printer, and after yoars of arduous effort he arose to eminence as a jurnalista among a people whose intellectual standard of journulism, was of the very highest. For many yearp, and up to the po riod when lie died in the full ripeness of his intellect, lie was the recogniz ed leader of the American press. That was no common distinction. The press in our day is a great mental force, which guides and controls the public opinion which it only seems to reflect. as the cord berds the bow, which it seems only to obey. Indeed the influeneo of the newspaper press upon events, niid upon the progress of society, may be compared to that ex erted by the great laws of attraction and gravitation upon our planeta ry system, silently restraining, while irresistibly impelling each orb in its appointed sphere. The great editor of the New York Tribune knew that influence, and wielded it with matchless power and skill. Sir Edward Coke has well said, that "sparks of all science may be gathered up in the ashes of the law." This is especially the case with lthe profession of the editor. ie ithe true Encyclopaldist. Editoritlly, Mr. Greeley was the most elegant write~r and formidable debater of his time. Whenever occa sion required, the most extraordinary array of facts and figures followed the march of his splendid diet.ion, just as the baggage wagons and the ordinance and supply trains, of a great army novel in rear of its waving plumes an-1 glittering standards, lie did not ob tain his vast and varied knowledge from the schools. .. That he possessed and so utilized .such extensive learning, suggests to the mind of the scholar, the fabled ring of king P'yrrhus, whiebo is said to * have borne upon the face of the-stone that formed its setting the figures of the Nine Muses engraved by the hand of Nature. Hie claimed always to maintain what lhe believed to be right, and lhe sometimes struck for it with pitiless intolerance. Yet, although often a fierce parti * san, it cannot be said of him ns was too truly said of thme illustrious Burke to whose genius his own was closely allied, that lie "To party gavt up what was meant man kind." ? [His benolen ce was wide as the hal. table globe itself. Man, wherever he d~well in sorrow, was its subjet. Although an ardent patriot who * looked with the eye of devotion upor our great Republie whose advancing glory and power ho did so much te promote, yet lie loved his race as ii he had no country. lie was alwayi upon a voyage of discovery for objecti of Charity, Hie loathed even tihe sem hi anco of oppression with an uttcrable l athing. Whenever man in bondage a r.agglod or hoped for liberty there he gave the free service of his powerful pen1. lie stood up for the Greeki whe1 they rose against the merciful thraldom of the Turk. l1e raised hil voice for Hungavy, still prostrate under the iron heel of the House of 1'a isburg-. lHe ever plead for ire. land, the land so loved bthe 4L exil whose unhappy children find a how for their independent spirit in ever country save their own. Ile spoke ft the independence of Cuba, that, "get of tho Antilles," where the slav still groans beneath the blood scourgo of Spain. To tho slaves < our own Soutliern States, he w. through many long yoars of obldqu 11 an unfailing friend. lie lo oke through the dark skin of the negr dooned apparently to overlastit, bondage,aiind ho saw the man on the woman, and h- :,''ored with un tiring zeal for their iinrati,n 110 happily accomplish--d. Yt. whon th revolutionary uhief, . who. oove al others symbolired to the woiltd th institution of Anerican Slavery wa himself in chaiits, the hand that wa most potont in writing his cause un just, was the first to sign the instru ment that set his person free. His character was as rough and im, movable in its honesty, as his owt native granite hills. but unlike them, ii was ever crowned with a warm suninei sunshine that beamed trom a hearl redolent with generous sympathies, lie kept the "whiteness of li, soul' in the baleful atmosj hero of politics through which he ,o long moved. His pure character was proof against moral corrosion, just as the Damascus sword-blade when blown upon by the hmuinimn breath is clouded for an instadlt, yet remains untarnish ad. Time, and the occasion will no9t permit us to dwell en the no.-t re cent noto-worthy incident in his re, markable e.reer. The learned coun. sel!or has observed in fitting lerims that the presiding Judge of his ('ont iu his capacity as a citizen, ardently opposed Mr Greeley in Iis late can didacy for the office of President of the Uniited States, and will to-mor. row cast a vote in tie College of Electors, for this groat opponent."' It was an oppovition which though earnest against the candidate was always linked with the expression ol the highest respect for the man. The fact that Iorace Greeley was sincor)ly supported as a caudidate for the chief magistracy of his country, by thousands of brave gentlemen, who but recently had resisted his theories of government., on more than a huu dred hattle fields with unavi.ilinig courage, will be recorded by the histo riun, as a most memorable instance of the reflx in the current of human thought and sentiment. In hisdeath the Republic has lost a Ivise states man and a pure patriot : the poor. a benefactor : virtue a champion, and the oppressed of every land an ad vocate. If, as he honestly taught, there was a "chasm" between the sections of our common country, whose animosi. ties lie labored to assuage, may it be closed forever by the clouds that cover his noble heart. The motion is granted. It will be spread upon tho minutes of the Court. The Court of General Sesaions of the Peace for the County of Faiifield will now adjourn for the day, in token of respect for the memory of the Honorable Ilorace Greeley.

Moore left his place of business, in Cokesbury, and was riding to his residence, about a mile out of the village. Samuel Jamison, a colored man, was in com. panly with him1, on foot, and both were unarmed. When within a few hun. dred yards of his house, Mr. Moore siw two or more persons running be hind, apparently in pursuit of him, This created suspicion, and he quick. eted the pace of his horse. At this, the pursuers commenced firing, and fired four shots, soie of the shot pnssinig through Mr. Moore's hat, Jamison took to the woods and es i caped unhurt. The object, no doubt, was robbery, with murder, if neces. sary.

How Money is lade by Farming. Much labor is done on farms that Is not farming in its true sense. By such labor no money is ever made. A man may support himself and fiamui. ly, keep out of debt, and have a few lollars in hi pooket, by practicing Ahe most stringent economy. If I.e a otherwise than industrious and ober, he is on the down grade, with oose brakes, and the end is not reach. ,d. But farming, in its true sense, s a profession equal in dignity to hat of law or medicine, andi iceds qual study, mental capacity, and ntelligently directed labor to com nand sucoess in it.
