The Prohibition Meeting.
Such is the interest taken in the pro
hibition movement in this city that the
heavy down-pour !of rain last evening did
not deter a good attendance at the meet
iDg called to take place at the Opera
House. There were many prominent cit
izens presemand there was an earnest
ness and interest manifested by all who
took part in the proceedings that is in
dicative of the hold that the movement is
taking with the people of this com
munity.
The meeting was' opened with prayer
by Rev.T. M. An,bler and Dr. A J. Dc-
Rosset, on motion of Rev. J. B. Taylor,
was called to the Chair with Messrs D.
G. Worth and B. F. Mitchell, Capt. W.
M.arker and Capt.'Jno. F. Diviie is
Vico-Presidents. Messrs C. H. Robin
son and H. M. Bowden were' the Secre
taries. 1
Dr; DeRosset, on assuming the Chair,
stated clearly the object with which the
meeting was called, referring to the
fearful evil of intemperaaco and stating
that the only remedy was in legislative
action! prohibiting the manufacture, as
I well as the sajk of intoxicating -lipuors
I j 1 ii ni l.
anywhere witnm tne nraus; oi ine oiaie.
Addresses were made by Re v. E. A.
Yates, D. D.; Rev. Jos. RJ Wilson, D.
D.; Rev; J. B. Taylor, Colvlloger Moore
and Capt Thompson.
A letter irom Kev. Mart s. Gress
was read to the meetiofr. in which the
regreiiiu iuat xumiapuaitiuu prc-
TPntcu nis aiienuancc. expresses uis
hearty sympathy with tho movement and
i
the objects it is sought to attain.
.Rev. Dr. Yates ottered the following
resolutions, which were adopted :
Whereas. It may rightfully be as
sumed that all good citizens are in favor
of whatever may be conducive to the
development of a purer civilization and
a sounder morality ; ana wnereaa, ync
manufacture, sale and use of intoxicating
liquor as a beverage tends to the increase
of poverty and crime, and therefore to
the degradation ana wretcneoness oi me
rjeoDle : and whereas, the efficient work
mg and great blessing of prohibitory
uquor iw m www. -
seem to indicate this as the remedy, in
M ,f fn nnder -n;ch onr 0-
pie suffer ; and whereas, a call has been
issueu for a convention to assemble m
the "ftSS le' lfn?ftS
nary, 1830, for the purpose of drafting
'tit; to the Legislature of North
petition
Carolina for the passage of a prohibitory
liqajor law, therefore.
Resolved, That this meeting heartily
endorses the movement, and hereby e
presses its sympathy with the measures
proposed.
On motion of Mr. John McLaurin the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the pastors of the
churches of this city, with the chairman
of this meeting, be selected as delegates
to represent the friends of prohibition in
the approaching State Convention at
Raleigh; and that, furthermore, the chair
man be authorized and requested to se
lect, as soon as practicable, ten addi
tional delegates, and to announce their
names in the secular press of this city.
The meeting thereflpon adjourned.
Notk We are requested to state, ia
connection with this report, and to em
phasize the fact, tht the object sought
to be attained is a prohibitory act by the
Legislature, to become a law and in

We ore, truly sorry to hear that
Father Ryan, the Poet-Priest, is sick in
Richmond, with an inflamed throat, and
that he is therefore obliged to postpone
all engagements. The announcement
for Friday evening at the Opera House
in this city has therefore been withdrawn
but we trust that it is merely a pleasure
postponed and not foregone.
Dt ath Ml lit- k?t Thos Atkinson.
The announcement of the death of this
venerable prelate,this saintly man of God,
thoaghr notT altogether mrexpected hat
fallen with crushing force upon the hearts
of our whole people, irrespective of cn c Is
or denominations. No man ever enjoyed
in a greater : degree the respect and es
teem of the community than he, and
justly so, lor he was preeminent iu all the
virtues that adorn the character of the
Christian minister and the Christian gen
tleman, It is seldom that a combination
of suchrare excellencies centre in a sin-
gle individual; some trifimg defect, either
of morals or of intellect, not infrequently
mars the beauty of a character that would
otherwise be spotless, but in Bishop At"
kinson thpre was a harmony and a com
pleteness, a rounded fullness of propor
tions that placed him far above the ordi
nary level of mankind. He was truly a
great man and remarkable in this,
that" in whatever circle he mfived
whether in the Church, in society or the
crowded thoroughfares of life, he exer
cised a mighty influence,' and that influ
ence was always lor good, llis exaa-
ple vvas the reflex of the precepts he in
culcated, and his highesLaim in life was
to search out the right and do it, for the
right's sake. As a pulpit orator, he was
distinguished for keen powers of analysis,
sound logic and cogent reasoning y his
style was more conversational than de
clamatory, not disdaining ornament,
but using it simply by way of illustra
tion, and yet his oratory was oftimes
fervid and impassioned. But his great
power lay in the faculty he possessed of
impressing all who heard him with the
fact of his sincerity r he believed what
he taught, he practiced what he preach
ed, and this had its influence, and a very
great one upon all .with whom he came
in contact. He was a man -of large
brain and larger heart; his brethren
in the episcopate wm miss nis
wise counsel in their deliberations ;
the Church throughout the country will
mourn the extinguishment of a light
that shene so brilliantly before men, bo
particulary will his Diocese, the peo
ple among whom he ministered so long
and so faithfully, grieve for the heavy
loss that has belallen them,, and with
Elisha of o!d well may they exclaim "My
father, my father, the chariots af Israel
and the horsemen thereof."
Bishop Atkinson's . descent was Eng
lish, bis grandfather having been a cler
gymen of the Established Church. He
was born at the family estate of Mans
field,' near Petersburg, Va.f on the 6th
of August, 1807, and was consequently
73 years and 5 months old. He was
educated at Yale College and at Hamp
den Sidney, Va., and graduated at the
latter institution. He studied law and
received a license for its practice in 1828
bat afterwards studied theology. After
the usual preparations for the sacred
ministry be was admitted to the Diacon
ate in the autumn of 1837 in the Monu
mental Church of Richmoad, Va.,
by the ' Tcnerable Bishop Richard
Channiig Moore, of that
Dipefie. Ia the spring of 1833 Bishop
William Meade, of the some Diocese, re
ceived him to the Priesthood ia Christ
Church, Norfolk.
Having assisted Rer. Dr.. Parks in
Christ Church parish he became im 183g
Rector of St Paul's, Norfolk, jn which
position he remained until his removal
to Lynchburg in 1839 where he became
the Rector rf St. Paul's parish and
where he remained until 1843, in which
year he accepted a call to the Rector
ship of St. Peter's, Baltimore.
In or about 1852 Grace Church, Balti
more, a beautiful and C03tly edifice, was
built by his warm friends and admirrfrs
for him, and it was from the charge of
that parish that he "was called to the
highest office of the ministry as Bishop
elect of ths Diocese of North Carolina.
In 1852, at Christmas,; the former
Bishop of this Diocese, KtRer. Levi S.
Ives, gave in his adhesion to the Roman
Church and at the succeeding Diocesan
Convention, held in May, 1852, Rev. Dr.
Atkia jtod to fiU the
and tne ucnerai uonveauon a iw wica
nial session in Octpfer of that year, in
meuijoi iiew xofi, connrmea tne ac
tion of the Dlocesem North Carolina,
The General Convention at the sine
time confirmed thelection'! Rv; T.J?.
Havis who had been chosen Bishop of
the Diocese of South Carolina and both
Dr. Davis and Dr. Atkinson were con
secrated to their high office of Bishop in
St. John's Chapel. New York, on Men
day, Oct. 17tl,
The presiding Bishop and chief con-
seerator was the Rt. Rev. Thomas i C.
Hrownell, ! IV LL- D. Bishop of
Connecticut. He was agisted in the
act of consecration by the Rt. Rev. Geo.
T. Spencer, D. D. late (English) Bishop
of Madras, John Medley, D. D, (Eng.)
Bishop of Frederickton, Chas. P, Mc
Hlvaine, D.'D., Bishep of Ohio, Geo. W.
Doane, D. I). L.L.D. Bisliop, of .New
Jersey, S. A. McCoskry.D. D., Bishop of
Michigan and Jas. H. Otey, ishop of
Lcnnesaee. .
Bishop Atkinson, after "a very brief
interval of preparation, came to his
Diocesc. A chert time he resided at
Raleigh but upon the presentation by
the parish qf St. James, Wilmington, to
tire Diocese of an Episcopal residence
he removed to this city where
ha has since lived. His degree
of Doctor of Divinity was
conferred by Trinity College, Hartford
and that of Doctor of Laws at Cam
bridge, England, t
Bishop Atkinson practiced law ni le
years and had already attained a prom
inent position in that profession when his
mind was turned to a sacred ' calling.
He was one of a large family, his father
and mother having had a eleven chil
dren six son3 and five daugters. Three
brothers and five sisters survive the ven;
erablo prelate; and three of the sisters
are older than the Bishop. With the
exception of Rev. Dr. Atkinson, Pastor
ot tne Jtirst irresoyterian unurcn m
Raleigh, the surviving brothers and sis
tcr3 all reside in Virginia. Bishop At
kinson was married, in Petersburg, ia
1828, to Miss Josepha G. Wilder, the
daughter of John and Jane Wilder. ' He
lenves behind him an afflicted aid devot
ed wife, the companion and helper of his
life time and two sons and a daughter
who truly rise up and call him blessed.
The death of this holy man of God
than whom, we sincerely believe, no bet
ter man, since the days of the Apostles,
Saints and Martyrs,ever breathed the
breath of life, was as quiet,, calm and
peaceful as that of a little child sinking
suddenly to Bleep in its mother's arms
He had Ioag been a sufferer with an af
fection of the heart and his lungs, it is
said, were also affected,but no murmur,
no word of complaint, was ever heard to
issue from his lips. He died last night
about 0 o'clock. He had retired and bis
daughter, Mrs. Baell, had been reading
to hinr from the Bible, when in
endeavoring to tart over in .bed to
speak to Mrs. Atkinso o, he stopped
ieu oacK on njs pmow, gave a gasp ana
a sigh aod "fell on sleep." Ah! weU said
the Psalmist : "Precious in the sight of
.the Lord is the death of his saints."
The funeral services will probably
take place on Friday next, from St.
James' Church, the interment to be in
Oakdale Cemetery. Bishop Lay, of
Easton, Md., has already telegraphed to
say that he will be here. Bishop Lyman
will certainly come, and the Bishops of
the neighboring Dioceses will-be invited.
It is probable also that many of the
clergy of the State will be here on the
sad occasion.

evening was wrecked when two miles this
side of Magnolja. There were no lives
lost nor didatny of the passengers receive
injuries which are likely to result in

to have been a broken axle under (the
mail car. The broken axle ripped op the
track and the passenger coaches were
thrown from the track and down the em
bankment. The Pallman sleeping car
was precipitated through the trestle and
is now standing on its end.
