Demi Negro.
Saturday afternoon, a negro, who had
made his way to the Mayor’s office, some

went dead on the man’s hands.”
Another Dead-Alive Negro.
Sunday morning, about 10 o’clock, a negro
was hauled into town, from the vicinity of

was sent to the Freedtnen’s Hospital for
treatment, although from another county.

Key.
Vaile Mecums.
Reader, did you ever come across one ot
these human * know-alls”—one that you
cannot raise a question iu law, physic, or
even divinity, that lie docs not know all about
it? We have. We could see the ears stick
ing out from beneath the lion’s skin so plain
that you could hang your hat upon them
but, out of politeness, we suffered, rather,
than make the Ass bray.

Judge Gibson delivered (iu substance) the
following
CUAIiGK-
Gkxtlkmzn: Vou have been assembled
to determine questions of controversy arising
from past dealings and transactions of your
fellow-citizens. Interested persons, who are
to be benefitted or injured, often see things
difleroutly. Hence litigation arises, and the
necessity of your prisent assemblage. Why
good citizens should seek to avoid this indis
pensable duty, I have often wondered. Yet
that many of our citizens have sought
exemption, by various excuses, from the
performance of this high public duty, is too
painfully true, and speaks badly for them us
good citizens. No other motive can he given
tor this conduct than a .selfish desire to pur
sue their own selfish ends, utterly regardless
of the good ot others, or the public welfare;
auu whilst they might be excused for not
desiring to settle questions of personal
differences between neighbors anil friends,
yet, as those questions must be settled and
determined, why should not the good, intelli
gent and virtuous among us see to it that
they are adjusted correctly?
Again : How is crime to be detected tint!
punished, if those who arc honest, intelli
gent, and law abiding in the community
avoid a faithful discharge of their duties ?
The Judgo can not find true bills, nor can
lie render verdicts; indeed every intima
tion of an opinion upon facts by the Judge
is a ground of error ; and in criminal trials
in our State, the juries are also judges of
the law. The importance, then, of every
man who is qualified for this duty, at this
time, promptly discharging the same, eau
uot be overestimated. And 1 trust that a
response to the faithful performance of
this duty may be made commensurate with
its importance, and the professions of
regard for law and order made by the
people of Richmond.
As you arc to bo engaged principally in
the trials of issues, it eau hardly lie
expected of you to give much attention to
the criminal justice of your county, espe
cially as this duty was so well performed
by the Grand Jury during the first week
of this term. Yet, your duties as a Grand
Jury at this time may not be neglected—
and I charge you that all violations oft Tic
criminal laws, known to your body, should
be presented. Your oaths compel you to
present violations during your present
service; this you can not avoid if you
would. Whilst objects merely loathsome
may be passed in silence, and a proper
discretion require you iu the exercise of
charity not to lift the veil and expose their
perpetrators, yet, when jurors, unmindful
of the proper distinctions, confound the
objects of charity and throw a veil over
criminal deeds, vicious, corrupting, and
demoralizing, they disregard tli c laws both
of heaven and earth, and commit grievous
s:ns against society.
I feci conscious, as to tba past, in saying
that all the influence I may have pos
sessed has been given to the maintenance
of law, order, and strict, justieo to all; and
whilst some portions of our once happy
people may to day be corroding, in their
wasted limbs to tho very marrow, with
military chains, and many innocent per
sonsare groaning under their heavy weight,
to the disgrace of our great old common
wealth, I feel proud that our people’s
observance of law and order has freed us
from the humiliating spectacle, however
many speculative political syllogisms may
have been stoically advanced and urged.
Whenever and wherever a people are
prepared to confound disgraceful and
damnable crimes with meritorious deeds,
and abolish the strict Scriptural distinc
tions between vice and virtue, and indus
triously propagate principles and practices
of hatred, animosities, and evil speaking
in short, a spirit of sedition, anarchy,
licentiousness, spoliation, and assassina
tion—trampling upon every' right of con
science, opinion, person, and property —
then and there no rational or real liberty
can exist. It is alone in the observance of
law and order that liberty and freedom,
so dear to us all, can be said to exist.
From this bench there should never be
enunciated political or partisan theories ;
in that jury box no partisan spirit should
be tolerated or allowed ; and lie wh o
carries with him to either position a
partisan spirit, desecrates and degrades
both, perjures his own soul, and is an
unfit custodian of the lights and liberties
of a Iree people. Yet popular prejudices must
be opposed and censured. At the risk of
being accused by the fastidious, I will venture
to say. gentlemen, that no greater wrong is
being perpetrated upon society than the
engendering of hostile, inimical, and personal
feelings among our people. No good can
ever come from it. When race, caste or
color shall be taught to believe each the
other’s enemy, how can we progress, or
rebuild the breaches made upon our morals
by a four years’ desolating war—to say
nothing of our pecuniary losses and derange
ments? And if, before the swords of the
brave men in blue and grey have become dry
in their scabbards, a system of hostility
amounting to persecution has been engen
dered, and, under color of law or systematised
proscription, freedom of thought, opinion and
action has been stifled, where, I ask, is the
virtuous reward of our labors in the estab
lishment of freedom ? The proper punish
ment for this crime I should regret to pro
nounce. The insolence ot opposing factions
should be awed into silence by tho virtuous,
intelligent and good of our land. And whilst
by ursupation and even impunity wo may
not alter tho dentiniei of nature, we may, by
wisdom, prudence and discretion, seize those
filings most lilted to repair the great breaches
which have been made in the past, and not
waste our labors, talents or energies in the
vain attempt of working either against nature
or destiny. The ignorant, presumptuous,
iuteuipcrnte and corrupt nre always first to
speak, and are invariably ready to counsel
and advise in great matters of State ; whilst
tho learned ai.d great are usually dilfideut,
ami, after long and laborious investigation
and deep reflection, make haste slowly, and
with great diffidence express themselves.
Again : he who would array labor against
capital, or capital against labor, the learned
against the illiterate, is engaged in a busi
ness that may reward its partisans in turn
as each may preponderate. Yet the filthy
effluvia they emit upon society would sicken
and disgust the nostrils of gutter-cleaners
from the pest-house, and their slime is only
equalled by their damaging influence upon
all grades of society; and ho ho carpet
bagger, scalawag, republican, or democrat,
lie deserves and should receive both the
execration and commiseration of the intel
ligent and good. It is alone when capital
willingly and confidently invests, that labor
receives its just and ennobling rewards.
We should, then, harmonise our efforts, to
induce the one to come forth that the other
may be rewarded ; and the filthy deni a
gogue who can attempt to alienate the
harmonious and confident action cf either,
for party purposes or self-aggrandisement,
is more to be hated and dreaded than the
midnight assassin or wayside robber.
Through appropriate committees, your
roads, bridges, records, and public buildings
should be examined ; and especially should
the books and accounts of your Treasurer
be carefully scanned. This can not be too
often done not so much to see the acts
and doings of the Treasurer, but to ascertain
if your Collector has paid into the treasury
the full amount of taxes assessed upon
your people ; and also to ascertain that the
purposes for which expenditures are made
are both legitimate and correct. The proper
compensation of the teachers of the poor,
and that the latter have been instructed by
moral and intelligent teachers, is of tho
first importance.
It is also of great importance that the
really indigent should not be allowed to suffer
and perish, but that suitable provision should
bo made for them. 1 invite your special
attention to this subject, and trust your body
mav find time to give it their attention.
Whilst the realty needy must and should be
provided for in suitable places and ways, the
idle, dissolute vagabond and vagrant should
be as carefully and diligently excluded from
the bounty of the charitable. Examine,
then, well your Poor system as conducted,
.suggesting proper remedies where error is
detected, aid makiugsuitable commendation
wherever deserved.
Again, and in conclusion, allow me to
suggest a direct and rigid enforcement of the
law. To temporize at this time is to encour
age vice in all its malignant and objectionable
forms.
Tranquil.
Wo have never known our city to main
tain such absolute quietude as it did
throughout last Sabbath. The throng ot
Sabbath-school and church-goers, like a
gentle touch of TEolus upon some tranquil
pool, wrinkled the town surface just the
least bit, and thereafter the calmness
returned and changed not until twilight
came. Then again pleasant ripples were
sent across the placid current by the myriad
worshipers and promenaders, who kept up
their undulations far into the moonlight
hours. And again, all was hushed and
peaceful us a babe’s repose. This all
pervading quietness of demeanor was an
effectual rebuke to evil-doers. They did
not show tlieir unseemly heads in any part
of tho town, so far as wo arc advised. *
tSciitovitl,
We learn that our friend and neighbor,
Mr. Alfred Wilson, has removed apart of his
fast stock and fine carriages to the Forest
City, where he has opened livery and sale
stables—called the “Screven House Stables,"
on Bryan street, Savannah. Our Augusta
boys, and all others, who desire to drive fast,
and good stock on shell roads, will know just
where, when they visit Savannah, to get a
“turn-out” that can go, for the “Bay Poney”
and “Bully La Duke” will be there, and
when they travel, they make the collar
buttons and dust fly, so that fast men had
belter be prepared iu advance for these con
tingencies. When we go to the Forest City,
we shall be sure to try the feeling—dust or
no dust, buttons or no buttons.
Hum) lliloc.
There are a few of these “cousins” in
town, and they are very penetrating, insinu
ating and musical. One can keep in good
exercise before he gets under the “bar," and
if there is a hole in it he can keep up the
labor afterwards. We can stand their bites
better than their music ; our ears are not
attuned to such sweet sounds as Mr. Mosqui
toe emits. No, thank you, wouldn’t choose
any.
“To the Itlnnor tiurii.u
This descriptive sentence, in these latter
days, has become wonderfully changed. We
used to think it had a very significant mean"
ing, for in speaking of a native of a State or
a country, he was “to the manor born.’’
Now-a-days, tbe new revelation is, “io tho
manner born.” Is a State a manner? Is a
county a manner? Is a residence or an
estate a manner ? The truth is, that some
people, in this day, are so much wiser than
their generation, we shouldn’t be surprised
if anew Dictionary is not the result.
(’ify NoiHctM
We have heard of “London cries”—we
have heard of “New York cries”—and
many a time and oft *‘baby cries” —but
Augusta cries take the palm. Variety, the
spice of life, that gives it all its flavor, is
one of the characteristics. Wc never were
so much struck with this as we were on
Sunday last, especially at night. Some of
the churches, and the dogs and the mos
quitoes, gave a lively serenade until late in
the night. “I scream” and “Ashes” would
have been nowhere.
AUGUSTA MARKETS.
Ofvick National Kki-udlican, )
Monday, June 29—P.M. )
FINANCIAL.—Tho price of Gold has not
changed. It is being invested in considerable
amounts in securities. Georgia Railroad Stock
holds its own at 85; City of Augusta Ronds 721
the demand exceeds the supply at this time.
COTTON.—Thcro is a little further movement
for homo supply of this article to-duy, and it
may be quoted as equal to 30c for New York
Middlings. A No. lA. J. lot might stretch tho
price a peg or two higher. Tho stock is running
down from tho fact that tho Factories in our
own State are buying supplies, no doubt from
tho anticipated rise, to which wo alluded some
weeks ago, from short receipts.
CORN is worth $1.20 to 1.25.
OATS nominal, at 950.
WHEAT.—Red from SI.SO to 2.25, and White
from $2.10 to 2.40.
FLOUR.—New Flour is from $lO to sl4 per
barrel, while old don’t find much demand.
RACON. —Tennessee, hog round, 17c: shoul

Phillips’ Provision Exchange.
Cincinnati, Juno 26, 1808.
Filitor Xational Republican :
Dk.au Sir—Thcro h is, perhaps, during many
years past, not been a duller provision market
than we have seen during the past week. There
is no speculation and but tho smallest consump
tive demand. Our heaviest holders, very sensi
bly, disposed of the bulk of their stocks during
the last heavy demand, at full prices, and tho
small stocks they have left, they feel confident,
with the glorious prospects o: crops, both North
and South, that they will ultimately realize full
figures for tho moiety of stocks they have left.
Consequently, none but the weak holders are
forcing anything, yet the market closes dull, and
without any animation.
MESS POltK—lias ruled steady at S2B, with
considerable purchases at 5 to 10c per bbl less
for oboiee city brands. The low rates of freight
to New York has enabled the short sellers to fill
their contracts without drawing on the New York
market largely, thus keeping prices at a point at
which thoy can make a profit.
LARD—Has declined, and choice city can
easily ho had at 16J, but 164 is t!i« best offering
price to-day. There is no keg except refined,
which is held at ISie. Lower grades and Greases
in light supply.
BULK MEATS nominal, in absence of de
mand. The asking prices are 11J, 14, 141, and
15e loose, for Shoulders, Sides, C. R., and" Clear
Sides, with an occasional buyers at these prices,
packed.
RACON sympathises with all other articles
and dull at 12L 16|, and 174 c, for Shoulders,

Gentlemen—ln answer to your esteemed
favor, let me tell you that 1 believe there is
no one so much indebted to Railway & Co.’s
preparations us the undersigned. 1 was
totally paralytic—could hardly move my
head Without causing great pain—pains in
the spine, my internal organs paralyzed,
my bowels so confined that I only went to
stool once iu twelve days, and was almost
deprived of sight; besides all this, 1 was
very thin; my arm and hand inflamed, and
all the time taking all the preparations
which it was thought would do me good,
but to no avail.
The following is the manner in which I
was treated : Five Pills every night, fric
tions with the Relief on the spine, gargles
with the Relief and water, and doses of the
Resolvent, as per instructions in the pain-
phlet.
This treatment lasted five months, but*at
the end ot forty days 1 could walk without
crutches, and to day, although not very
strong in my legs, 1 walk perfectly, have
good sight, find myself much stronger, and
can attend to my business as when 1 was
young.
I thank God lor this great discovery,
made by Dr. Rad way & Cos., and also thank
