^. -y?. -j-' MONDAY MOBNTNG, JANUABY 14,1867. *1 MEMOIR OF BISHOP ELLIOTT. c?" At a mooting, on the 12th instant, of tho Alumni ol tho South Carolina Collogo, in Charleston, who had hoon members of tho classes <<f tho Right Kev. . STEPHEN ELLIOTT, Bishop of Georgia, lately de? ceased, while ho was tho Professor of Sacred literature aud the Evidences of Christianity in ;7 that Destitution, tho following paper was read and it waa S? Resolved. That wc unanimously accept tho Mo moir which has boon submitted to us, as exprcss . ing our conception of tho character and endow - mcnts of tho Right Rev. STKPHEK ELLIOTT, late Bishop of Georgia, who was once our loved and honored teacher-our very high appreciation of his exalted virtues-our grateful recollection of the benefits wo have rocoivod from his teaching and the example of his holy lifo, and our deep i.: sense of tho loss which the country, his Church, and thc causo of education has sustained in his doatb. Resolved further, That tho city pap?is be re? spectfully requested to publish these proceedings, with the accompanying MEMOIR. "The Bight Rovorcnd STEPHEN ELLIOTT, Bishop of tho Diocese of Georgia, died suddenly last .*. evening," were tho ead tidings which, on tho morn? ing of the 22d of December, 18CG, were borne " through the land on the wings ot' the swift and mysterious messenger of these latter days. ", Thrice during th? past year has this honored name been borne in mourning on its wines, aud each time with words of honor, regard and profoundest respect. On the first occasion tho young hero and BOldier was "laid gently and reverently upon tho bosom of tho State he loved." But a few days later and his honored and scholarly father, who bad trained him for his high dn Q ties, and who could truly and proudly nay with Lord OBMOND, "I would not giv'o my dead Bon for any living son in Chris? tendom," was laid by his side, and now again tho shining name of bis noble kinsman, Georgia's great Bishop, is added to the fatal list. This last startling message carried gloom ?nd sorrow 1 throughout tho limits of Georgia and Soutli Caro? lina, and we have reason to believe to many other ' portions of our Southern laud besides, and oven, perhaps, to some hearts and homes or thc North? ern clime. Men seeking for sympathy met and repeated the mourntul intelligence, and thu mute hut eloquent gesture of grief gave token of their love and reverence for a great and good man thus snatched away, and of their bitter souse of irre? parable loss and bereavement. It was keenly felt that a brilliant light and shining representative of bombera Ufe, society, , tradition and history was suddenly gone, and that i from cburcheB, and States, and disciples, and / friends, a prop upon which they had used to lean, J had silently sunk away, and that they must hence? forth learn to stand in their own strength, or look elsewhere for support. And in the first blindness of their grief they knew not where ! to look. The Church which ho governed will mourn the loss of the calm, cloar, just and graceful wisdom which guided her, and the great heart which cheered lier. The society in which he moved, and of which lie was a bril? liant representativo, will lamont that its prido and ornament is veiled. Many a younger man, strug? gling in the battle of life, will miss his voice from ? among the good and W?BO, whose approbation ie reward, whose praise is wealth. Aud hundreds have lost forevor their friend, example, teacher, guide and comforter-a comforter whose rich, iv;., sweet, happy voice of itself brought cheer and hope amidst sorrow and despondency. lt has seemed to us a very sad but grateful duty, and not without its healthy uses to fix in the memory of those who knew and loved bim. a brief outline of tho life and character of tho dis? tinguished Prelate, whose death is thus recorded, and whoso funeral obsequies have just been closed; and to preserve for the uso and guidance of a younger generation who never saw his face or heard his voice, if but an imperfect portrait of this pure teacher of truth and gracoful leader of mea, standing like SAUL in stature and intellect "from his shoulders and upwards, higher than any of the people." The Bight Roverend STETOEN ELLIOTT, Bishop of the Diocese of Georgia, was born in tho town of Beaufort, South Carolina, on thc 31st August, 1806. He was the eldest son of STEPHEN ELLIOTT, of South Carolina, who was known in that day as the ripe scholar, tho eloquent talker, and tho en? thusiastic student of science, especially of the beautiful science of Botany, whose name and character is among the grateful traditions of the day and tbe eocietv in which he lived. His mother was ESTHER HABEKSHAM. of Georgia; and his family have over since maintained close and affec? tionate relations with that groat State. He, him? self, always claimed that he belonged to both States. And especially after be was called to pre? side over the Diocese of Georgia, with that gra? cious wisdom which was eminently characteristic of the man, it was his habit'freely"and heartily to declare that he was a true sou of Georgia, and that he was ready to serve her with tho love of a grateful child as well as that of a faithful Bishop. rr nen his father removed to Charleston, in 1812, to become the President of tho Bank of tho Mate of South Carolina, he came with him and was pre? pared for College at tho school of Mr. HUELIIUT, at that time a distinguished and successful teach? er in this city. In the foll of 1822, he went to Harvard College and entered the Sophomore Class in that institution. He remained at Harvard . until the fall of 1823, when, at the desire of his father, who wished him to graduate in his native State, he returned home, and in November of that year, was admitted to the Junior Class of the South Carolina College. Among his classmates there were the gifted writer and cltqnent orator, the late Hon. JAMES H. HAMMOND; and the learned and distinguished Judge, the late Hon. THOMAS J. ?WrxHEBS. He graduated in 1825 with tho'third honor of his class. Upon his graduation be was bred to the Bar in the onico of the lamented JAMES L. PETIGBU, for whom he retained through life a most affectionate reverence and regard. He was admitted to practice, it is believed, iu 1827. It wa8 at this period of his Ufe that the great political questions of State Sovereignty and JFrec Trade arose, and shook the country by the tre? mendous weight and magnitude of thc argument. The ardent and talented young scholar and lawyer took a keen and active interest in the momentous Banes of that high debate. Ho was a States Bights man in the highest meaning of those words, and was through Ufe the warm and unwavering supporter of that school of political doctrine. He believed in Lue simple story of the sovereignty of ihe States, as told in every child's history of the early settlement of the Colonies, and tho later in? dependence of these States. He believed that this sovereignty was the true, and almost the only con? servative element of the Constitution, and the only effective check upon the usurpations of tho central government, when the latter should be controlled hythe mad passions of party or tho wild delusions of the populace-that conservative element which alone made a free and magnificent Republic possi? ble. He believed that the liberties of the States was the heaven-given shield of the liberties of the peoples; that the lreedom of the Union was the real strength and pertect health ot the Union. He loved his own State very dearly, and he believed that an honest, genuine and practical love of the country was best felt and expressed in a just and g?nerons love of the State. Call this weak, call this carrow, if you please, but it is tho weakness and the. narrowness of nature, wliich is stronger and broader than the fictions of men, which is deeper than the .creed of the philosopher and wiser than the calculations of thc statetman ' ' It is nature's sacred and unchangeable love of the child for his home, and through his home for his /offer-land. But we wiU not wrangle over his bier to pass judgment on these opinions. It is enough that they were held, and are now held by man who have served the. .whole country with u n qnestioned devotion and illustrious success, and of whom history must speak with unqualified honor and respect, and it may be, as tue true prophets of the land. It was at this time, too, that, as tbe friend and companion of the gifted LEGARE, he took a warm and enthusiastic interest in the fortunes of the re? nowned old Souttiern Quarterly Review, and the brilliant: Uterature -it illustrated, lt is believed that be wrote often and weil for its columns, and helped to make it what it was. In after years he always spoke with pride and enthusiasm of the power and career of that famons journal, as a noble monument of the scholarship of ihe Slate -' that day. He practised law in Charleston for so*" " when, upon the retirement of ? ?raivpar? . practitioner from the Bar of ** dist?ntSed busine!6 ^r?S? * ' beaufort he remov? a.OT Lr^ succeed tc, bis pilice and rttn-nA-' ^rn to his birth-place waa a puwe an ^ Wtxu He deariy ioved tho oJ(1 its people.

He came back to Beaufort to practice law, bnt a different destiny awaited him there. At this time, not long after Ute period "when the Church of England had roused itself from its lethargy to a deeper and quicker sense of its high mission and duty, and the teachers of a more active and energetic faith had become a power in the Church; and when the eloquent energies of CHALMERS had begun to wake the Church of Scotland from the .. deep slumber of the "Mod?r?tes," the truths of religion known aa evangelical were preached with unusual fervency, power and effect in the ancient .and secluded town of Beaufort. Aside from the mysterious breathings of the Divine Spirit, as ac? cepted by many, it was a community peculiarly open to impressions from such a source. Tho? roughly educated, cultivated and refined-isolated from the turmoil of life and from tba tide of the' iii world-bred to a high self-reliant and unflinching sense of duty and a generous devotion to truth the solemnity and pathos, the overwhelming obli? gation, the supremo necessity and the self-sacri? ficing spirit of the doctrines then preached ap? pealed with irresistible power to its people. Among a somewhat remarkable group of yonng man, not unknown in the State, who, at that time, made open profession of their faith and high re? solve." and nave since truly kept the word and honor they then pledger!, was the gifted, accom? plished and graceful young advocate who had re? cently come back to his early home. Not many slays later he turned aw?y from theallurements . ot pleasure and the ? hopes, honors and emolu? ments of public and professional life to enroll himself aa a teacher or the truths he believed, and a minister at the altars of the church in - ? whtoh ho worshipped, no was ordained a minis? ter Of the Protestant Episcopal Church by Bishop TOWEN, In the fall of 1835. He officiated as Boctor ? ol the Pariah of Wilton for one month, when he ?wai oleo tea by the Trust?e* of the South Carolina . College to the Chair of Sacred Literature and the Evidences of Christianity in that Institution, to ? V . which also the Chaplaincy of the OoUege waa at lioTitfli --. .- . - * - . -'i... j Thus carly was ho callod to high offices. And . perhaps the reader who never saw him will follow ns more fullv and easily in what wo have further to say, if we here endeavor to describe tho very striking form and presence or tho lato Bishop. Long or limb and tall of staturo, with a Tull aud vigorous frame, thoroughly^ yetoasily erect, with fail nigh brow, finely cbieellei? fs?ta?es and lofty crest -with a eoft, beaming; blue eyo, and a com? plexion fair and frosh, without' being ruddy-ox quisitelv graceful in his carriage-, and quiet and easvjnlils movement, willi his thiu dark hair floating lightly arouud and from his hoad-his was ii figure as he passed along tho crowded thor? oughfare, upon which mon turned to gaze, and the eyes of women rested with tenderness and veneration. His prosenco, ihough graceful, was eminently dignified and comm olding. It quietly expressed a very sensilivo deferenco for tho opinions and feelings of others-ready to hear and quick lo ap? preciate-yet a fail and steady roliauce on him? self. It is"told of him that, once atacouutiy tavern, whero ho had stopped for tho night, a poor iuebriRto was recklessly bantering lim bystanders, when his attention was arrested hy tho appear? ance of tho stately Bishop, and awed and sobered for tho moment by his commanding look and towering form, he turned to him ann c: claimed, "Anil who am you ? Are you a Judge? or a mom? beroi'Congress 7 or Governor of the Stale? Well, if you aint suv of these you ought to ho !" That which was felt by this poor fellow has boen fell by thc highest and "wisest and best in the land iu tho samo presence. Often have wo watched that till and graceful figure como swinging along the College grounds in company with gravo professor or cheerful student, in serious talk or with his rich, sort, hoarty laugh ringing out at some merry jest, and been conscious that a living grace was added to tho picturesque scene withiu the bounds ul' tho venerable school. It must be left to his biographer to spoak fully ol' his career ss a Proteesor, and of the tuannor in which he peri'ormod tho duties of hts chair. We can only say that tho number of thoso who learn? ed to love, honor, and revere him there, is tho whole number of thoso whose namos stand upon tho roll of thoso bright days of the proud old Col? lege, as well as all who watched, and cher? ished its progress at that timo. Ho yoarned to make it a school of high learning, a rich sourco of truth and refinement, and tho centre of a gener? ous and intellectual citizenship to tho ?tate. "Will you lot other States breed your scholars ?" exclaimed lie, on ono occasion to one of tho classes, "and will you be content to bo howers of wood and drawers of water to thom ?" In bis own person he showod them how high and gra? cious and precious a tiling was tho pure gift of learning aud the culture or letters, tho charnrand tho power of the scholar. lu tho lecture room his clear and vigorous analysis, and his rich; polished, and often passionate words, taught them how to think aud how to utter their thoughts. His hopeful voice cheered everybody. And he here exhibited a markpd characteristic of bis whole life. He deeply and gladly sympathized with every aspiration after a highor culture, how? ever humble. He encouraged each to do his host, although that bosUhtnight bo but little. To him tho aspiration itself was a grace, the effort itself was elevating. To him there was every imagin? able difference botweon the high aims ol even the weak, aud the dull recklessness of aimless strength. He dearly Rived books, to be among them and to handle them. Ho waa a connoisseur in print and paper and binding. He took an eagor aud active interest in the now library building, whoso foundation was laid under his auspices. He sedulously watched and pushed forward its construction. And when it was finished and ?Il was ready, carefully were the books carried under his oye from the old room where they had stood so long, to a fitter resting place. Bight gladly, he called his pupils around him to help him to re? ?oive and arrange them. When the great boxes which contained the recent importations of the best and richest English editions of the best and greatest authors-brought there by tho prodigal bounty of tho State to her favorite insti? tution-were opened, his enthusiasm broke forth, aud he dwelt with all a scholars delight upon their exquisito beauty and iuestimablo value. And when all the work of arrangement was nearly done, ho turned to the group arouud him and said, iu his own rich tender tones, "Now, young gentlemen, I will expect in after years, each one of you who can afford it, to bring some work w art, some statue, bust or picture to adorn these alcoves." It was thus he taught the young novices of his school to love books, and art, aud letters, and learning. And now we turn sadly away to think how many proud hopes and glad anticipations which then swelled iu his goncrous heart, have been crushed and buried under tho power or tho conqueror, in ruin, grief, desolation and blood. Lut it was for a comparatively brief period that ho was perinittod to fill the Professor's chair. The Church at whose altar he served, and to whose ministry ho had been ordained, summoned him to her work. She called him to a higher and larger i-phere of usefulness. He obeyed without a question. In the summer of 1810, he was elect? ed the first Bishop of Georgia. In December of the sumo year, not without some natural regrets, hu took leave of the College, which he had loved and served so well, and early iu 1841 he waa con? secrated to his .Bishopric. It is not for ns to speak of the manner in which the duties of his holy office were discharged. The task of organizing and building np a new Diocese was a trying one. Of the manner in which it was port'ormed his Church and Diocese must speak. We know that his Diocese loved him sincerely and was hoartily proud of him. lt has recently declared its sonso of bereavement at his death, "aa too deep to find expression in the common terms of grief and mourning;" and that they "de siro to place on record their high appreciation of his remarkable qualifications for thc Episcopal office, exercised for more than twenty-five years; his profound acquaintance with humau and divine learning; his prc-en?inent power as a preacher of tho Gospel of thc grace of God; his keen insight into the motives and instincts of men- his tact and ability iu administering Iiis Diocese; his watchful? ness and tender sympathy for all the Hock com? mitted to bia carc;"hia interest iu the welfare of our colored population; his careful avoidance of party, issues and all extremes iu doctrine, disci? pline and worship, and hts cautious endeavors to pursue the quiet, conservative paths trodden by tho wisest and most honored Fathers of tho Ame? rican Church." His ?Church will doubtless speak at another lime. As a pulpit orator, without aiming to be subtle or metaphysically profound, he was clear, vigorous, eloquent and often strikingly original in tho defence anl illustration of accepted truth. His style was passionate as well as exceedingly pure and graceful-and rather the rich, massive and commanding manner of MILTON, SOUTH, BEN JONSON and JEREMY TAYLOR, than that of the polished wits and piquant essayists of Queen ANNE'S reign, with some touch also or the quaint? ness of those earlier worthies. To his students he always commended the first as the better : models. It was in the earlier days of his Episco- i pal administration that he sacrificed, his private fortune, and reduced himself to poverty and want in his uncalculating efforts to establish an emi- i pent school for 1 emul? education at Montpelier, i in the S tate of Georgia; and it was at a later period i that, in the" same spirit of . generous and untiring devotion to the cause of education, together < with the heroic Bishop of Louisiana, and the gen- : tie and eloquent Bishop ot Tenneaseo-and when j these three stately men stood together it was a 1 striking group for the painter's pencil-he pro? jected and labored earnestly to lay the.foundation of a great Southern University, which ho trusted ! would one day become a beneficent centre oT ? learning and letters to onr Southern land. And this he did in no spirit or narrow prejudice against ! other sections or other seats of learning. As we ? .have said before, ho did indeed dearly love the South. He cherished and honored her traditional . spirit of social order and conservative republican ! hberty. Be believed that there was much that was peculiar and valuable in the life, society ] character, traditions aud history of jier people' I ! that ought to be fostered and, .sh.eU.e?ed. B?t, 1 besides this, he was also, firmly persuaded, that { even as regards the development 'of a national , life, embracing alt sections and latitudes of the , Union, a better, healthier and nobler national life and character would be developed by the estab- 1 ifcshznent of many centres ot wealth,', power, bdu If cation and in?nenee; than could be t,rodr,.o^ M under a system by which whole territoriesT*, I < each of them in extent to gres.t Jiv'^^Tvi1^ ; 1 doms-sbould be overshadow', ^t?S.lti"?"

It ? tboes?^' .^tn that he labored-HO earnestly for 1 ? *" "uiishment of a great Southern school as j valance of power in the country. j The work was begun. But the fair prospects of the splendid enterprise were blighted by the opening of that tremendous struggle for the ' politics! independence of these Sonthern States- ? j their society, institutions, civilization, conatitu- ? tional law, and traditional policy-which was to ? agitate and overshadow the closing scenes of his ' lifo. In this struggle, holding the views of publie j law and policy which he did, trained in tho politi- 1 cal school to which wo have referred, it was not ' difficult to see where Bishop ELLIOTT would stand. ' But the story is too sad to dwell.' upon. He 1 shared in tho labors of a thousand other heroes ' who suffered, or bled, or died,- all in vain. He ' placed Ma Church by the side of the State. ' He ' cheered and comforted his suffering, bleeding, ! fainting people with words of the deepest pathos 1 and tenderness. He sent his sons to the battle ' with his pure kiss on their brows and a father's ' blessing in their hearts. And when ail was over- < and all in vain-and the cause was lost, ho bowed 1 his head without a murmur to the will of bia God, f and turned to the new duties which lay before ] him with the hope and' energy of an unflinching faith, and the calm dignity of an unconquered ' heart. 1 In looking back at the life of Bishop ELLIOTT, j there are one or two points of his. character upon ' which it will bo grateful to touch. " 1 In Church and State he waa eminently conserva? tive. He dearly loved that which was old as well" 1 as excellent-the truth and the practice that is ( taught by ancient precedent .and established by 1 ancient custom. -Bat so ardent a temper, and a i nature so sensitive, ?Bathetic arid enthusiastic, i could not but sympathize with all honest and i genuine progress. In matters of religious faith he rested in revelation-believing that a creed i was perfect at tho time it was revealed. In quos- | tiens of publio. liberty he rested immovably-in- > greaUprinciples. Bot in other matters of Church i and State ho clung to tho ancient landmarks or I history, rather a? tests by which to measure the i truth and the earnestness of the new and pro- i grossive. than as impassable barriers to' chango. . And in the fields of science, and commercial and material progress, he was full of enterprise and enthusiasm, aud paseionatdy anxious that his fair Bouthern land should press forward with un? flagging stride in the ,groat mtrch or modern civilization. Hil, too, was an exceedingly IISDDV 1 temper. "Tho lines have fallen unto rae ia plea? sant places," were words which not unfrequenilv J dropped from him in confidential iaaoroouree lc was thia buoyant, happy natnro which so often brought the healing of lue to the sad and wound? ed spirits or his people. Doubtless there waa in 1 thia a deeper, ghostly joy in his holy office on which wo dwell reverently, bat there was ateo-wo can see, a human and exulting gladness in the vigorous exercise of bis intellectual gifts, and in tbe beneficent use of the graceful power which he wielded. 1 Such is abrief outline of the lifo and character, and the nurture, culture and grace* of the distin? guished prelate for whom georgia mourns. best in" Southern society ; and wo rejoice that ?io much at least of Southorn history is safo be? yond danger or quostion. Such a life and char? acter is itself tho full and s*uflicieut answer to one of the ignorant slanilers of the philanthropists of these latter days. They havo declared that our form of sociotv was debasing to the negro, and pernicious to" tho white raco. Well, let. us sec. WeT'?'ccived from tho coast of Africa about ono m?lioo of degradod savages; and, undor ou gene? rous caro and wholsomo discipline, they grow to be four millions of skilful, thrifty, cheerful aud in? dustrious laborers-a larger uumber of civilized aud christianized people than havo over been re? claimed from amongst tho hoatben sinco tho carly days ofChristiauity. We roo? ivod thom a black, wool-haired, nakod, dobased, brutish and repul? sivo people-to whom chastity was an unknown virtuo aud a strange idoa, and honesty was the fear of puniahmont or the want of opportunity whose uotion of public Justice waa tho trial by poison, who ?poko gullah, bolioved in greegrees, aud alono ot huuiau kind worshipped .tho Evil Spirit. And, by our mingled kindness and disci? pline, bv our justico and our gentleness, wo medo them stich a people as to call forth tho extrava? gant eulogies of our enemies themselves, who uow claim for them tho full rights and highest privileges of tho proudest aud most enlightened American citizen. These eulogies may be, in a measure, unmerited aud thoso claims unfounded. Hut what theso people aro all can see; and such as thev aro, wc, nndtr God's Providence, made them." Norwill these, our accusers, duro to claim that they have over contributed a man ora dollar to the work, while eminent scholars of the South like our Bishop, as masters aud toachers, were conspicuous laborers in tho merciful hut humble tatsk. Anil, agaio, it is thtso whom thoy libel as the depraved white raco of tho South, who havo not ouly thus subdued tho suv ago to a merciful law, aud reclaimed lum to a civilized life, but lt is this raco too, which in tho lato fearful strugglo lor constitutional liberty, was precipitated almost en masse ?uto tho content;its bono aud sinew havo stood upon tho battle-Held. Aud it ia not saying too ninon to s*y that they have there challoiigcd tho respect aud admiration of the world. Aud siuoo tho time when th-y declared that "hopeless war ia a crime," thc y havo not ouly, by tho mere forco of their character, maintained a just and quiet ountrol over tho oniauciputcd slave?, but their intelligent submission to t?ecessity, their obodicnec to law, aud their regard to social order, combined with a firm self-respect, havo merited the approbation of all men. Aud tho "dear wo? men or tho South," have not ouly, from tho olden times to this day, filled our Southern laud with pure aud happy homos, but their conduct in that esme gigantic conflict has drawu forth the grate? ful ami unmeasured praise of their captive chief, who has declared that in his judgment, they "deserved to t&ko rank with tho highest heroines of the grandest days of the greatest countries." And when uow wo como to tho higher forms of a cultivated social life aud beneficent civilization, aud cousidor the representative men of tho South, it is this accusation that makes ns rejoice that nothing can rob us of the life and labors, tho name and the famo of Georgia's dead Bishop and mon like him. And when the representatives of these Southern Dioceses shall avain outer that august council of tho Church, whi. li will meet some two years hence, they wiU think mournfully and regret? fully of him who", hy right of age and service, would have stood at their head. Thoy will recall tho exquisite grace, tho sensitivo delicacy, the lofty wisdom and charity, tho calm dignity, tho unblcncuiug crest, and tho commanding presence which could neither bo overawed by the disappro? bation of others, nor yet could ever needlessly and unb':0 imingly offend their opinions or pro? voke their prejudices. May the full and complete folds of his shiniug mantle fall on othor shoulders equal to the high oflioe which would havo devolved upon bini 1 . In looking at his completed life, there was one remarkable gift of this remarkable roan on which we dwell with deop and grateful, emotion, and which all who over kuew him will recoguize at once. Wo speak of tho thorough humanity of his natnro, and by this we mean tho wealth and strength, tho width and fullness of the deep hu? man sympathies in which the learning, wisdom and graces of his nature were veied-veiled as light is veiled in color-as] thought is veiled in words, as feeling is veiled in music. His life seems to have bcou the rich, healthy growth of early training and happy influences. He grew ay the tree grows from tho bursting germ, outwards and upwards, year by year, circle upon circle, into strength and majesty, yet with tho life and form ot' thc germ aU there, with the fibre and firmness of each circle there, all thoroughly sound, sound to tho core, all lending strength to its growth, proportion to its column, and grandeur to its sheltering arms. His childhood took on his boyhood, and his boyhood bis manhood, and his manhood passed into tho wisdom of years, all complote in the fullness of that great and boun? teous nature, whoso deep, broad, human sympa? thies thus made him tho friend aud ci.mpauiou of all ages, classes and conditions of men-inado him too, as mindful of the geutlo courtesies and sweet charities of life with little boya and girls and humble men, as he was easily at home, amidst the grander graoes of social and official in? tercourse with tho wiso, gthe great, tho learned and honored in the land. Doubtless to the eye of that Omniscience which heeds the life and Bervico, the death and rall or tbe humblest sparrow, among all tho feathered tribes that praise him', the wholo life of a man is the man. As the spirit of the living man penetrates, aud is bounded by every nerve and atom of his liv? ing bodv, so to that eye the soul of every man is in? carnate in his lifo from the first wail of the infant t J tho last high before the grave, which thus com? pletos the full measure of his beiog, and tho per? fect "image and superscription" of his identity. So, to some special natures, ibis given to carry ia their memory a clear and sensitivo consciousness of each period of their lives, and each vital shspe of their humanity. And thus did the gifted man whom we mourn seem to havo grasped the full outline of his own life, and wit? tho sensitive glance of genius, concoived and realized each partT and character in which he had lived, and was thus vividly couscious of himself to himself. His merry childhood, his bounding boyhood, his lusty youto. and aspiring manhood, were all tho familiar com? panions and friends ot the genial man, the allies and counsellors of thc august sage. And so the happy child that climbed to his breast laughed and kissed with the happy child which, as from a mirror, laughed and kissed hack agaio; and the gallant boy shouted to the bright lover of fua within, who shouted back in echo; aud the vigor? ous youth felt his outstretched h.'.nd clasped by the baud of companion whose steady grasp closed faithfully over his own. And tho palo and im? passioned student mot the answering glauco of youthnil student with -'eyes of speculation" rapt in study. And the struggling man found, in th's wise confessor, ooo who could understand tho story of 'his life because he retained a vivid memory of his own. Higher than all, he seemed to have kept the memory of "mother sad sister and ihe shrinking maiden might look Into thal Loving heart without faltering, to sec a, pure, sweet image of herself reflected there, and to feel that aho shared in the knightly tenderness, for the ideal.woman there enshrined. Bus yofdeeper and holier still was kept tho memory, of his own errors and -frailties; ami the penitent Magdalen and the contrite n\an fonud, in Uuittnie soul a fcl low-sinner who knew'tow to forgive, as he had known what it its to he forgiven^' . It was thia humanity of his nature, theso puro ?troDg earthly sympathies, this .veil of the flesh iii which his piety was clothed, which added ao milch io the power of his life and doctrine: Biswas, in leed, a truly and deeply cpiritual life io tho religious sense of that word. But there wOA besides this, ahu? man soulfulness, a sensitivo sympai hy with ail that .vas charming in nature, beautiful in art, inspirit-f n Ufe, or useful to his country, which won tot him he rogart and affectiou of men, who ""jere after vacds subdued by the teachings of W riith and hs example of his piety. Thuat it often, happened ;bat the generous host or t&a ?ettial friond who Reived him a? the B.:r.?e^??r, tue nverof art, the. starlene of scionco, or tho ?naol lsu patriot, levraeu* to know that there was sorce .uing '_eepe; and holier still; and it softly stole .-Pon Iiis consciousness, that, in entertaining this Pited stranger, he had "entertained.ah angel un? isexes." Nor waa the grateful influence of bia .caching less felt because ic waa thus associated ?uJo the haman sympathies'of common interests, he winning courtesy of a gentleman, the charms >f a graceful nature, and the strength of a vigor ma and comprehensivo intellect. His death was very Budden. And yet, to those rho knew and considered., the - man, it . was rhat might have been looked for. We have said .hat his life was the rich growth of the cherished memories of the past. And the tempest of deso? lation and ruin-which had scourged the taco of his loved Southern land had tom also through tho tranches of this stately tree and strained ic to its foundations. The scathing bolts of war hod fallen Jeep amidst its roots. , Many ties of kindred had DCen broken. Many proud and generous associa? tions with the past had been destroyed. The lomos of many of his blood and lineage had been nade desolate,, the accustomed, fires of their rearihs had gone otic in bitter ashes, and their ioD3 and daughters wera . wandering, among strangers. ? His hopes of constitutional liberty rad been defeated. His aspirations for his mnntry had .been blighted. Thus, all unseoa, ho great roots bf his life wore snapped, and be rich sources of. his strength were dr?>d ip: And, although like a beautiful tree, with ts roots all broken and braised, he still, for L time, stood poised ia tho. perfect, balance >f bis character and the symmetrical proportior s >f his nature, yet tho great props of his life tad been taken away. And so ic happened that itirred by soi.e cold, mysterious breath of the light, with thc growth and io li ag o of his lifo, all ?aavy "wlth tho." dew; pi^Hea.yon?y; cares, he ottered and feU-fell with perhaps one last loving >ang, for the cruel blow with which his sudden ind resounding fall was to crash upon the trem >Ung hearts of churches and States and friends ind family. -?? And thoa he lay in the majesty of death; and ittle children and pure women, young mea and lld, the meek and tho gentle, the proud and the owly, the rich and tho poor, the great and the. mee, bishops, priests,, patriots, soldiers, scholars md statesmen, dame to mourn around the bier of aoble Georgia's dead Bishop. Fortuna non mutai genus waa the rallying cry of he ancient worthies; and amidst the social change, jrivato rain ' and- political disaster which ?mr .ouoda them, 1st thoso. who. boar tho unsullied tame of the saintly knight, who, Tn fntl armor, las thus fallen on sleep, and names like his, re comber, let every true Southern heart still re nember Fortuna non muial genus.
