AN HOUR WITH THE SOLDIERS OF CARLISLE---WHAT THEY DO WITH THEIR MONEY.   Harrisburg, April 5, 1864

  Mr. Messrs.Editors;    Knowing a number of the boys form Bradford, who had recently volunteered in the United States service were still at Carlisle, yesterday I took a seat in one of the "yellow cars," and rode over to see them.  I arrived in the camp about ten o'clock a.m., and was soon surrounded by "our boys in blue," many of them I knew very well, and many of whom I did not know personally, but they all seemed equally pleased to see a friend from the outside world.  They all appeared cheerful and hearty, and anxious  to do their duty faithfully.  They informed me that they had just received notice that they were to move for their new regiments in the front at half past twelve o'clock that day and they would be on the train with me to Harrisburg.  Soon some one asked me if I would take charge of his bounty money, and deliver it to his wife, when I went home.  Of course I consented to do so gladly.  Another made a similar request soon after, and in five minutes it was generally known that I was willing to deliver their surplus funds to their friends and I was taken possession of by storm.  In less than an hour they put into my care near two thousand dollars, in sums from forty to ninety--all consigned to father, brother, or wife.  One little fellow from Orwell-- I think they called him Charlie--was very anxious that his money should be all right, and desired me to count it over and over again, for said he," I may be killed, and I want our folks to make all they can out of me."

   Having taken charge of all the money presented to me, and I hope accommodated all who desired my services and said my parting good-bye to them, I passed out of the camp, feeling my visit had been opportune for our soldier boys, and very pleasant all around, and feeling, too, that although the soldier spends his money recklessly and foolishly many times, yet he never quite forgets his duty to himself and the dear ones at home.

   When the train had passed a mile or more from the town of Carlisle, we found a goodly number of the recruits drawn up along the road.  The train stopped and they were soon on board, and they did come down with me on the train as they had said.  I saw them march through the streets of Harrisburg with full ranks, but whoever shall see those regiments in these streets, when they shall return from the bloody fields before them, will look in vain for many of those who went out from among us so cheerfully and proudly to-day.  But "God is above all," and in His hands we must leave them.

Yours truly,
D. LILLEY

Horace GREELEY--editorial 1878

        The country has already been made acquainted with the mad and sudden death of the great man whose name is written above.  He died on Friday evening, Nov. 29th, at ten minutes before seven o'clock.
         Until a day or two before, but very few knew that his life was imperiled, although it was known that his nervous system was much prostrated by the great anxiety and affliction caused by the sickness and death of his much loved wife; increased somewhat, by the bitterness of the campaign through which he had just passed.  The facts given concerning his last illness in the papers of the day succeeding his death, show that his troubles were far more serious than the worst reports represented them previously.  Sad as it is to state the fact, the last days of the great editor were shadowed by acute mania, and he died in a private asylum in Westchester County under the care of Dr. Geo. C. CHOSTE.  A brief statement of some of the facts that led to this lamentable conclusion, is proper, and will be expected by the readers of the STAR.
      Upon his nominations for the Presidency by the Liberal Convention held in this city, in May, last, Mr Greeley, at once withdrew from the management of the TRIBUNE, so that nothing could be charged to him that appeared in its columns, which savored of partisan bias.  His intention was to remain in quiet and comparative seclusion during the campaign. But this was impossible,and after his nomination by the Conventions, the Eastern and Western tours, now memorable forever in connection with his history, were urged upon him by his political advisers.  These trips were very exhausting and told visibly on Mr. GREELEY'S health.  Meantime Mrs. GREELEY'S health was rapidly failing, and she, ( having been removed to the residence of Mr. Alvin J. JOHNSON , in New York city,) now called for his constant attention.  While passing sleepless nights by her bedside, Mr. GREELEY started show symptoms of great mental depression.  He thought much of the campaign, and felt keenly the harsh accusations of the opposition press.  On one occasion he said, " If they make the issue that I am the rebel candidate, I am bound to be defeated."  When the reports of the state elections began to indicate the possibilities of the Presidential elections, his friends began to entertain fears that defeat might prove fatal to him.. When Mrs. GREELEY died on the morning of October 30th, he was much hurt because he was not allowed to sit up with her.  After her funeral he seemed to lose all interest in others and gave way to deepest dejection.

About this time he gave positive evidence of mental derangement.
      The November election seemed to have no interest for him, and he received the news of his defeat with perfect indifference.  He began to talk much about his private affairs, criticized the course of the opposition papers, accused his friends of having betrayed him, etc..  Medical advice was sought by his friends and he became better.  About this time he write the letter resuming the editorial management of the TRIBUNE.  In the paper the next day, November 8th, after which this card appeared, was an article which was very offensive to many of Mr. GREELEY'S friends, especially among the Democrats.  He at once wrote a card disavowing its authorship; but this was suppressed by Whitelaw REID, managing editor.  The Democratic papers naturally attributing the offensive article to Mr. GREELEY very severe in their remarks upon it, accusing him of the basest ingratitude.  This wounded Mr. GREELEY very much and he sent another card to Mr. REID, denying the authorship of the offending article.  This Mr. REID was cruel enough to suppress, and from that time Mr. GREELEY ceased to frequent the TRIBUNE office, although two or three of his authorships appeared afterward.  From the time his symptoms grew worse.  On November 20th, a consultation was held, and it was decided that it was best to place him with Dr. CHOSTE, near Pleasantville, which was some two or three miles from Mr. GREELEY'S residence at Chappaqua.  Here he received the unremitting attention of Dr. CHOSTE, had here Dr. Brown SEQUARD, Dr. BROWN and others were called in for consultation.  The insomnia had developed into it inflammation of the brain and under this the patient rapidly sank.  At times he was delirious, at times as clear headed as ever.  He lost flesh and strength with startling rapidity, and in a few days the possibility of his speedy death forced itself into unwilling recognition.
   It was not, however, says the TRIBUNE, till Thursday that his associates and family brought themselves to admit it, and even then they still clung to is faith in the vigor of his constitution.  On Wednesday night he failed very rapidly.  Thursday afternoon and evening he seemed somewhat easier.  During the night he slept very uneasily, muttering occasionally, and frequently raising his right hand.  Toward morning he was more quiet, and between 8 and 9 o'clock fell into a nearly unconscious condition, which continued with some intervals throughout the day.  He mad occasional exclamations, but few of them, in consequence of his extreme weakness and apparent inability to finish what he began, were intelligible.  About noon, however, he said quite distinctly, and with some force "I know that my Redeemer lived.
    During the day he recognized various people, his daughter many times and the members of his household at Chappaqua, Mr John R. STUART and Mr. REID.  On the whole he suffered little, seeming to have no more that the ordinary restlessness which accompanies the last stage of disease.  During the day his extremities were cold, and there was no pulse at the wrist.  The action of the heart was very intermittent and constantly diminishing in force.  He had not asked for water nor had been willing to drink since his stay at Dr. CHOSTES', but during Friday asked for it frequently, and up to a half hour to the end he manifested in various ways his consciousness of what was going on around him, and even answered in monosyllables and intelligently, questions addressed to him.
    About half past 3 O'clock he said very distinctly, "It is done," and beyond the briefest answers to questions, this was his last utterance.
    His youngest daughter, Miss Gabrielle, was with him through Thursday evening.  Throughout Friday, the eldest daughter, Miss Ida was in constant attendance, as she had been during the whole of his illness, and of Mrs. GREELEY'S before him.
    Other members of his Chappaqua household were present, Mr. and Mrs. John R. STUART and a few other friends.  Nothing that science or affection could suggest was wanting to ease the last hours.  The wintry night had fairly set in when the inevitable hour came.  Without sleighs were running to and fro, bearing to Chappaqua, the nearest telegraph station, the latest bulletins, which the thousand of anxious hearts in the great city near by kept demanding.  Within, the daughter and a few others stood near the dying man, who remained conscious and seemingly rational and free from pain, though now to weak to speak.  In the adjoining room sat one or two more friends and the physician.
    At ten minutes before 7 o'clock the watchers drew back in reverent stillness from the bedside.  The great editor was gone in peace, after so many struggles in honor, after so much obloquy.
    Now that Mr. GREELEY has gone, both friends and foes will better understand how great a power his life has been for good.  He was born in Amherst, N.H. February 3, 1811, and his early life was spent in comparative obscurity.  Always and independent thinker it was natural that he should be a radical.  He became  a Universalist when about fourteen, although he did not know there was a church advocating that doctrine until he went to New York as a journeyman printer, having learned that trade in Poultney, VT.  He was about twenty years old when he went to the great metropolis and about ten years after established the TRIBUNE, through the column of which he has spoken many noble words in favor of truth, virtue, and freedom: and at the same time sparing no pains to expose wrong and tyranny in every form.
    While bitter in his denunciations of the wrong-doer, he was always frank, generous and forgiving to the penitent.  During the great anti-slavery agitation, he was always in the front rank of the opposes of that "sum of all villainies," and during the war which followed, he upheld the Government in its efforts to save itself from destruction.  But no soon as the smoke of war ceased, he, true to his life-long principles of kindness to the fallen, advocated those measures of peace and reconciliation, which must at some time prevail if our country is ever thoroughly united.  His wish for universal amnesty and a thorough reconciliation was severely animadverted upon during the recent campaign; and many things were said that which we are certain will cause many a bitter reflection on the part of those who uttered them.  But years hence the name and character of Horace GREELEY will stand high in the estimation of the good and true, because then it will be seen, if not full received now, that the highest ambition of the man was to "leave the world a little better than he found it."  In the language of the TRIBUNE of Saturday, we can well "leave his praises to the poor whom he succored, to the lowly whom he lifted up, to the slave whose back he saved from the leash, to the oppressed whose wrongs he made his own."
