We did not have the heart to announce yesterday morning the great bereavement which has befallen onr friend and co-laborer, Mr. B. H. Richardson, in the death of his wife. Indeed, we could scarcely realize the sad and bitter fact. Mrs. Elizabeth Mildred Richardson (for merly Miss Holcombe) was born in Mobile in 1839, and was married on ttab 4th of October, 1865. She was a most accomplished lady, and possessed every element of char acter that goes to make up the happy wife, the prond mother, the affectionate friend, ihe charitable neighbor. Her peculiarly sweet and sunny disposition made for her a large circle of friends. She was, in short, a woman perfect in all the attributes of true womanhood. If this should^ meet the eye of any ex- Confederate soldier who lay and languished in the feverish wards of the hospitals in Mobile at any period during the late war, ho will no donht drop a tear to the memory of this most gentle lady. During those try times, she was untiring in her efforts to relieve the sufferings of sick .and wounded Confederates. She possessed'to a most re markable degree, that faith in the Southern cause which kept it alive to the end. Her patriotism was devotional in its character. We cannot better close this most inade quate tribnte to the memory of one whose untimely "death is |so deeply regretted, than by appending the following graceful and appropriate article from the JDaUy Sun. It is headed “Paliida Mors : n “It is with pain that we announce the death of the wife of Mr. B. H. Richardson, city editor of the Morning News. This sad event occulted last evening at the residence of Mr. Richardson, on St. Julian street, and came—as pale death always comes to those who are most wounded by its shadowy visi tations—suddenly and unexpectedly. “In such an affliction as this the tenderest expressions of condolence stir tho wouuded heart with a harsh vibration, and tbo am plest sympathy is meagre and inadequate. Who can feel bow dark the home becomes to itB bereaved inmates when the sunlight of a wife and mother*s love has gone from its threshold forever? We stand speechless and silent in the presence of su h heavy grief. “Mrs. Richardson was Miss Holcombe, of Mobile, and niece of Col. Thos. Holcombe, of Savannah. She was a most gentle and amiable lady, wearing modestly and grace fully the crown of her manifold virtues, and bearing about her in her daily walk a halo of womanly excellence. She leaves four children, the youngest an infant.” 8QCIETE FRANCA IHE FAISANCE. D£ BIEN- The Electing; in metropolitan Hall Last Evening. A regular meeting of the French Benevo lent Society was held at their rooms in the Metropolitan Hall last evening,-and was well attended. The new President, Major A. Bonaud, presided with easy dignity, and the hospitable and happy direction given to the occasion made it quite an event. A splendidly laid out collation, furnished by the well-known caterer, Mr. W. B. Fer rell, was spread m the halL It was determined to give a grand soiree dansanie in Masonic Temple, on the 19th of January, and the lollowing named commit- t-e was appointed to arrange the prelimi naries ; President, A. Bonaud : Vice President M. N. DeLettre; General Lafayette McLaws, Henry -J. Thomassob, A.. L Des Bouillons, James Stewart, Dr. Robf. P. Myers, T. P. Rivenel, Edward McVeigh, Anthony Easier, Anthony Fernandez, John Ryan and C. Do Gaugue. The gentlemen .composing this com mittee have had ample experience, and the ball will bo a success. The en tire proceeds are to be devoted to the succor and relief of needy Frenchmen under the terms of the Constitution of this excellent Society, whose good deeds have already many times been noted in our col umns. On adjournment, the Society enjoyed themselves with all that abandon character istic of their nation. Among the guests present were President Alex. Irving, of the St. Andrew’s Society, and representatives from the Hibernian So ciety. The first, toast was, “President Bonaud ■long may he wave at tho head of ‘the Ave nue* leading to our benevolent Society.” The President in a neat address thanked the Society, and pledged himself to pre serve the prestige of the Society. , Mr. P. H. Ward then regaled the company present with the well-known air from Balfe’s opera of the Bohemian Girl, “Then You’ll Bemember Me.” The toast of “Onr Sister Societies” was felicitously responded to by President Alex. Irving, of the St. Andrew’s Society. The Press was toasted and made a feeb.e response, no one being present. President Bonaud then said that he alluded to the Cotton Press, but neither did that press have a representative present. Noticeable among the toasts was ono by President Irving; “As a Scotchman ascends the hill of prosperity may he never meet a Frenchman coming down.” The Republican Bines—Election of Officers. At a meeting of the Republican Blues; held at their new hall last night, the follow ing named non-commissioned officers were elected: F. P. Hanpfc, First Sergeant. John H. Griffin, Second Sergeant. E. F. B. Grayson, Third Sergeant. E. H. Mense, Fourth Sergeant. J. S. Wirnington, Fifth Sergeant. M. M. Williams, First Corporal. W. O. Charlton, Jr., Second Corporal. Sergeants Griffin and Grayson, who were former Sergeants, declined to accept the position of First Sergeant. . A committee of three, consisting of Ser- go&nt F. P. Haupt, J. H. Griffin and Vet eran Member H. M. O. Smith, woro ap- >ointed to make arrangements for a ball, to ,0 given by the company on the 19th of January.

According to announcement in the city pa pers, a special meeting of the stockholders of tho Coast Line Railroad Company was held yesterday morning at the ball or the Irish Jasper Greens, for the purpose of some action upon measures to be recommended by the Board of Directors, to provide ways and means for the construction of the subnrb&n portion or tho Road. After an interchange of views and a general dis cussion or tho present condition of the af- airs of the Company, the following resolu tions were adopted; Jiesolved 1st, By a special meetin ; of the stockholders of the Coast Line Railroad Company, that the Directors of the Coast Line Railroad Compauy be, and are hereby authorized to borrow tlie sum of $30,000 for i 0 P a J mei1 * the unliquidated debts of the Company, and for the farther extension and construction of the line or the road of this Company from its present terminus on Bolton street towards Thunderbolt. Resolved 2d. That the President and Board of Directors of this Company be and they are hereby authorized to execute and deliver to the parties from whom the said thirty thousand dollars loan is received, whether th-T be Directors, Stockholders or other parties, a bill of sale under the statute of Georgia of all the existing propertyof' the said Company, and of all property here- after to be acqhirid by said Company under its act of incorporation, whatsoever it may be, including tbo iranchises of said Com pany. Resolved -3d. That to better enable said Company to obtain the said loan of thirty thonsand dollars, that the Directors of this said Company be and they are hereby au thorized to apply tho proceeds of said loan first to the discharge of any mortgage lien upon the property of said Company, and tho surplus thereafter to be applied to the construction of the extension of the line of said Company.

Resolved 5th, That should the Board of Di rectors _of this Company find that in law there will be a necessity for legislative action from the State to execute the bill of sale as herein before specified to the parties loaning the* money to this Company, they are by this resolution authorized to do so, whether before th 1 ? loan or in confirmation of it. The Lutheran Fair. Tbe spacious ball in tbe Masonic Temple was filled last night by the ladies ol the Lu theran Church and their friends, who had come forward to assist in thoir laudable en terprise. The radiant faces of the young gen tlemen in attendance aud the liappy looks of the young ladies bore evidence that as a social reunion tbe Fair was quite a success. The supper table was well supplied, and the edibles well taken care of by tnose who had not supped at home and by others whoso appetites were renewed by the sight of so manydainties. It is almost impossible to enumerate the many tables which offer to visitors attrac tions which affect the pocket-book, bat among those particularly noticeable we would mention the following : M‘ s. Riddh s and Mrs. Sivcs have at their table a splendid tea set of French cbma and an imitation stone cross made of wax, and a white cross, both the handiwork of two pretty youncr ladies. At this 'able there is also a prize kiss pyramid (containing two prizes, namely: a lady’s finger ring and a gentleman’s scarf pin,) made expressly by Mr. John Derst, the popular baker, for th j fair. Mrs. James Manning and Mrs. Haltiwan- ger offer great indneemeuts. Among the articles on their table is a star cake. The handsome meerschaum pipe was raf fled aud was won by a gentleman on Bar- nrad street, near Congress. The Fair has been well patronized, yet there are quite a number of valuable ar ticles still to be .disposed of, and it is to be hoped that onr citizens, without regard to denominations, will givo tbe Fair a helping hand. A pleasant evening can be spent at tho Hall, and it is a most desirable chatting place for conph s, be their creed what it may. The Washington Cornet Band was on baud, and played like they did in old times. We are glad to see that this band has not succumbed to the hard times. The Concert at Christ Church. The lovers of classical musical art in Sa vannah enjoyed a rare treat last night at the organ recital and vocal entertainment given under the direction of Mr. Penfield at Christ Chnrcli.^ The most competent critics were present, fhe Church being ffTed with an attentive audience; and even those who were best acquainted with Mr. Penfield’s eminent.qnalities as a performer and a mu sical director, were amazed and delighted with the almost marvelous dexterity both of his hands a id feet in such extremely diffi cult pieces as, for instance, tho overture of “William Tell,” and Bach’s “Fugue,” in D Major. The oldest frequenters of Christ Church were surprised at the compass and power of the fine old organ, which has just been ex tensively renovatod and improved by Mr. Turner, of this city, under Mr. Penfield’s direction. We cannot conclude this brief notice with out extending onr congratulations to* tbe congregation of Christ Church at the recent reorganization of their choir, in which Mrs. Cameron, so favorably known here, takes the leading part. She was last evening in ex cellent voice, and sang that most difficult aria of Hayden, “With Verdure Clad,” unexceptionable style. Merry Christmas at Bateson’s. We tako pleasure in calling attention to the advertisement of the old Pioneer Toy Shop of Savannah, over which Mr. Thos. Bateson is tbe presiding “Santa Clans.” The proprietor has as usual all thelites! novelties in the toy line, and that is saying a great deal, as every day brings out some thing new with which to please the children and get in the greenbacks. Let those who want to make their little ones liappy give Mr. BatesonacaP, and thus guarantee a Merry Christmas at home. A Colored Detective. A negro charged with having stolen a lot of shoes from Mr. Bower, a stork keeper,' waR before Justice Abrams yesterday. He. protested that he was • innocent of the charge, bnt said he knew the fellow who had committed tbe theft, and volunteered to point him ont. Mr. Bower got into a wagon with the darkey, who, after driving aronnd town for sometime, spotted the thief, and; to the gratification of Mr. Bower, the pro perty was all recovered. Distinguished Arrival. The Earl or Roxbury, England, arrived in onr city yesterday morning and registered at tbe Pnlaski House. He was called upon by several of onr English residents daring the morning. He is how the gaeit of An drew Low, Esq., and, we learn, proposes to make a short stay m onr city prior to a trip to Florida. 3 Turbulent Negroes. A lot of colored troops were before Justice Russell yesterday, charged with having a general row. The whole morning was oc cupied in examining the numerous vtitneases in the case. Some of the parties were dis charged, and the balance sent to jail to take their time before the City Court. Increase in Foreign Exports. The total foreign exports from this port for the month of November foot up $6,317,- 467.00, against $4 494,211.00 for the corres ponding month last year, showing an in crease of $1,823,256,00. Of this amount $5,190,294.00 were exported in foreign ves sels, and $1,127,173,00 in American vessels. Matrimonial. C. M. Holst, Esq., of tbe firm of Holst & Fullarton, was married in onr city yester day to Mrs. Sarah Lynch, of South Carolina. The bride and groom left in the afternoon on a bridal trip to Florida. The Co-operative Grocery. We are glad to learn that tbe Co-operative Grocery is getting along nicely. The Treas urer is making co'lections, and it is thought that they will be able to start business in the course of a few months. Recorder’s Court. Only five individuals patronised this tri bunal yesterday, and none of them were of any importance. Four went into retirement in the chateau near the Park, and the case of the other was continued. Floral Sales Garden. Messrs. J. H. Parsons & Co. have opened a new floral sales garden on Bull street, noar the Pavilion EoteJ. They made quite a dis* play of flowers there yesterday* Renovating.

In August last a sailor named A. F. Eng' brachfc was sent to tbe Marine Hospital from some ship in port, with rheumatism, and since then has not been able to attend to any work, though he has improved very much* About two weeks since some one stole a few articles of clothing from him,* wh'ch seemed to trouble him very much, and has so unsettled his mind that Dr. Stone, who is the physician in charge, has found it necessary to put him in a straight' jacket several times, and for the past few dajs he has been so wild that the Doctor thought it would be best to confine him .in a small room, about six by ten feet, which* i-* for the accommodation of such unruly characters, and he was accordingly confined there. On Wednesday he sent for tbe Doctor to come to his room. As the former opened: the door and went in,ihe man quickly closed it and placed his back against it, at the same time seizing a large clnb which he had con cealed in the room. This weapon he raised over the Doctor’s bead, with the remark, “Damn you! I intend to kill yon.” The Doctor, being entirely unarmed, was per fectly nonplussed for the moment, bnt after the first surprise he very coolly remarked to the maniac tliat it would not be right to do anything of that kind. The physician kept his eyes upon the man while he was talking, bnt amid not prevail upon him to think as he did. The Doctor was kept in this sus pense for about fifteen minutes, when the Steward, thi .king something must be wrong, went to tho door, and hearing what was going on within, broke the door down, and, assisted by the Doctor, secured the dangerons patient. The man was fthen taken to iailfor safe keeping until the Ordi nary could have a hearing in the case. On yesteraay the proper affidavits wore made before the Ordinary, and after an ex amination it was decided that he was not of. sound mind, and he will therefore be sent to tbe lunatic asylum. COTTON. The Crop in-Middle ^Georgia. The Macon Telegraph says that for the last few days the cotton receipts of that city have been unusually large. This, however, is not an indication of a larger crop than we had last year, as it is the general opinion among the men who handle cotton that the receipts will be large until the first of January, after which there will be a heavy. warin-tnis again m opposition to me falling off — J Central, and when there is not one-fonrth Tbe ootton in the section of country tribu tary to Macon lias long since been picked ont. A gentleman who traveled by private conveyance, a tew days ago, for firty miles through Monroe and Bntts counties, says he did not see enough cotton unpicked along the whole of the route to make one bale. Tbe editor of-the Telegraph has talked with planters from a great many counties, and the universal report from them is .that the cotton i* all picked ont clean, most of it ginned, and a large proportion of it in the market and sold. It is too early to hazard any opinion as Jo wbat number of bales Macon will get this year, but the probability is that no more will reach there than was received last sea son, notwithstanding some of the partieb have been making extraordinary efforts to enlarge their receipts. Tbe city will proba bly do well to get as much. Tbe quality of tbe cotton has been good this season, owing to the extraordinary fa vorable weather for developing and gather ing the crop. The drouth has undoubtedly shortened the yield, while, at tho same time, it has improved the quality. Last year a comparatively small proportion of the crop could be styled as middling, while this year middlings abound, and fancy bales are al most as numerous as middliug bales were last season. If cotton is not brought to the market in good condition, the fault is wholly in the handling of it, as nature could not. have done more than she has done for the planter.

Would it not be wise, under all these circumstances, to endeavor ‘to bring about an arrangement whereby the Savannah and Charleston interests coaid unite and join bands with the Georgia road against the common enemy of both Savan nah and Charleston ? Or, this failing, for the Savannah and Charleston interests to joinhands themselves as against the com mon enemy ? This would seem to open up the way for the Central and South Carolina roads to make a treaty, offensive abd defen sive, with each other, and work harmoni ously together for the good of their respective -8eaport8—letting each interest take-to their respect ve port, the freight naturally be longing to it by certain geographical limits, and tiros mutually sustaining and protect ing the respective seaports of Sivannah and 'Charleston, as against Port Royal. This would be the sort of concentration needed to protect the old capitalized roads, which have borne the heat and burden of the day so long, and tend to let the new and need less rosd appreciate the position that tbe wriockholders’ money was not invested, only to be sank,by throwing itself in competition i i an unreasonable business with the al ready built and rnnning roads. It would appear that there mast be more than busi ness in all this. It must be prejudice, and if prejudice, it behooves every citizen of Sa vannah to go to work and assist in removing tlTat prejudice, and cause all portions of the State to affiliate with ns rather thau alienate themselves Tor ns.

Editor Morning News: In your issue of the 24th of November you kindly published a communication with the above heading signed “Georgian.” In that article the attempt was made to set forth some instances of great lack of concontra-. tion in our people, both, in State and city. Mention was there made of und attention called to the action of the Georgia Railroad, .which road, with the two outlets to the sea, stepped in and used the credit of that cor poration to build an Intermediate' and new "rf>ad, tending to impair or destroy the two old roads, and attempting to bhill np at its terminus, a rival port to Savanna* and Charleston in Port Royal. What conld have been the can e of this at^mpt of a Georgia .interest, within < .eorgia’s limits, to throttle Georgia’s own seaport? Why such a waste .or new capital? and why should new credit and capital be u-ed to destroy the old capi talize! and running roads? These questions must be left to conjec ture. “Waste not, want not,” was a saying inculcated in ns when we were children; buc since we -have become men we have put away childish things. Now mark toe pro gress of all such improvidence. New capital sank and wasted; old capital deteriorat ing and a scarcity of business, and that scarcity at ruinous rates, the order of too day. Did the Georgia Railroad, when it loaned its aid to that Port Royal .scheme ^realize to what uses the rbad conld be put, and if that 'had been realized might we not have hoped that patriotism and sym pathy for onr own seaport might have caused a pause in such action, or a restriction of such uses? Tbe object of the Georgia Ro id. in its endorsement of Port_Roval Roac bonds, as promulgated, was simply to give that road, when it conld not work satis* ac- torily witfi the Savannah and Charleston roads, an independent outlet to toe Bea. Bnt what is the development of to-dav? It is used to bring goods at losing ana rain- ondy competing rates, through a foreign port, to Savannah. I uso the word foreign as applicable to a port in another State, subsisting by tbe co-operation of a Georgia interest agaiqpt Georgia’s own seaport.

Wonderful, to relate, Rev. H. M.’ Turner, the colored politician who makes Savannah hisr home, is not in attendance upon the colored convention. Determined, however, not to allow his friends to forget him, he has written a characteristic letter, which was read to the delegates, a synopsis of which we-find in tho Atlanta Herald, and. append below. Some of tbe points, it will bo perceived, are decidedly well-taken: Will ultimately have to leave tbis conn try. The final exodus of onr race wUl be to Africa, for the prejudice against the negro, nojr on the rapid increase. North and Sonth, is destined to drive ns from this country. Should your convention find that onr only bopein.this State is to leave jt, I.hope it will not shrink from saying so. It wtil not be enongh merely to resolve to leave, bnt give the reasons why. If yon don’t, Demo cratic papers wiU attribute toe cans# to disappointment, political ambition,” etc. - This letter was accompanied by a printed document signed by H. M. Turner, and ad dressed to the colored people of Georgia. Extracts form letterajto him on the subject of^ emigration from various parties, were included in the document. One from Thomtsville, Cutlibort, Mtlledgerille, Quit- man, Lumpkin and Atlanta. These extraots are followed by nis reply: “Don’t know what to say on the subject. Have fought these emigration fevers re- >e&tediy. Conld have made thousands of lollara by advocating the measure. I aliall never traffic on the destiny of my race. I rec -gnize toe fact that I am a negro, and their destiny is mine. As to the colored people leaving the State in a pell-mell man ner, that meets my decided disapproval. The fate of the negro in one part of the country is found to be the destroy of the whole. Om status in one part will be tbe status everywhere, gome great and good men think we ought to crowd certain States and hold them for onr special inter est; but there are a thonsand reasons why 'tEIs policy will not work well long. If we are going to inaugurate that policy, let ns ask tho,General Government to give ns New Mexico, and let ns repair there. Congress ongbt to givens New Mexico, with trans portation from any p?rt of the country, with six months* rations for all who desire to make the venture. Bnt even that would not serve to thwart the ultimate endrof Heaven in carrying out the purposes for which the negro was -brought into this country; for there is no more donbt in my mind that we have got to ultimately return to Africa than there’s a God in Heaven.” - j - - This document is rather lengthy, bnt has been misla d, or we would give it more in extenso, for it is important. Snfflce it, he exhorts them to moderation, and to be care ful wbat they do; and, let that be what it ill, be united in it. He wants them to stay i Georgia, if they can : but, if they can’t, to go wflere they can all live together in - leace, under the protection of the United States Government.

For instance, toe Oniqrnhng Eng* 1 irar the. annexed, in formation : The Julia Sk Clair, which was transferred to onr river by the Central Line several _ expects -Mol tile in five days, and is expected to ply bettreen Demopolis, Alabama, and Col um bos, Mississippi, a distance of one hundred and eighty miles,reaching either point every othe.V day. She will be employed to bring ootto n to the Central Railroad of Georgia at Demopolis. Capt. Johnson, the local agent of the* line, left last night in order to per fect freight arrangements both at Demopo lis and'- Columbus. The Julia is an iron-clad boat, smd can carry 600 to 700 bales of cot ton and draw only twenty-four inches of water.; 1 It is very probable that the Central Line will build < me or two light draught boats similar to the WyUljr in a short time, when the Bandy Moore, the companion of toe Jolia, will bo transferred to other waters. > A BAenmotlc Remedy. / Yesterday a colored man who was longing for a little tangle-foot, and was without the wherewith, to pnrehase it, called at the office of a gentleman and complained of having an “awfulpain,” and thought a drink would do him good. The gentleman thought so, tbo, ana, remembering; he had a bottle of gm and prickly \ ash which- he used for “ rheumatism,” bold the man to take a drink of; it. The darkey todk the bottle and poured out a good stiff horn, which he swallowed at one* gulp ; but no sooner had ii got down than bve began to wish it hadn’t; and, indeed, it wato so severe that the gen tleman thought tbeKjpoor fellow would suf focate, bnt, after some fifteen or twenty minutes, he managed, to speak, and say he wanted no more “ oaten dat bottle.” River Thieves at Work.

The new scheme of easy payments for Cabinet Organs, offered by the well-known Mason & Ham lin Organ Company, has these advantages : 1. An organ may be obtained by a first payment of ten dollars or more. 2. If it does not prove satisfactory, or the party taking It gets tired of it, he may return It aft -r six months, having paid nothing more th»n the rent of it. 3. If he concludes to purchase and pays for it in the course of a year, the whole cost to him is but five to ten per cent more than if all cash had been paid. Dealers say this will ruin the business of organ selling as they cannot afford to compete with such terms. The Mason & Hamlin Company know so well the quality of their organs, and that scarcely any will be returned to them, that they believe they can afford such terms.
