Kichinond Superior Court. This Court was in .session up ty 12 in., on i yesterday. The Grand Jury was discharged until 9 o'clock this morning. It is expected that the Court will adjourn until noXt Monday two weeks, to continue the business which seems to be accumulating instead of disintegrating. The Dead Alive. The Hon. W. P. Edwards, member of I Congress from the Third District, arrived in Atlanta yesterday, rectus incuria, as will be seen by reference to our special telegram. It seems that our Democratic brethren got ahead of the music, and that their whiskey is not so potent ;is they pretend it io be ; and that Republicans are not so easily killed off as they imagine. A Prominent Citizen Dead. It is announced in the Macon (Georgia) Daily Telegraph, that Mr. Leroy M. Wiley, tonrs;’c.,'an-J'in-New his plantation in Alabama, aged 74 years. Mr. Wiley was an energetic business man, I and had accumulated a large property. Another Old Citizen Gone. Mr. James Mullin, Senior, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, and for a long time keeper of the City Hall, di it yesterday afternoon about five o'clock. Like 11 a shock of corn fully ripe,” he. has been gathered to his fathers ; like a patri arch, he has lived for many years; and while age stol.e upon him 'With noisless, but unerring steps, he has gone beyond his three score and ten, and sleeps the Quiet sleep that knows no awakening. Let me die the death of the righteous and may my last end be like his. Peace to his ashes. He will be buried this afternoon at a o’clock, from his lato residence, No. 12 Fenwick street. Ho ! for Herzelia* Tomorrow morning, the Pic Nic train will leave promptly at seven o’clock, and all intending to lend their presence to that day’s enjoyment are requested to be punctual. The Printers of Augusta have persevered assidu ously to make a pleasant entertainment for their families and friends, and have anxiously looked to the approaching Fourth for the consummation of their wishes. Nothing, we hope, will occur to mar the pleasures of the day, and that all will return with happy hearts and smiling tacos to greet their usual homes, when the sun reclines behind the western horizon, on Saturday night. As an additional attraction to the usual sports of a festival day, Father Ryan, of the Banner of the South, will deliver an address. The Committee of Arrangements will be at the cars to attend to all business. Freedmen’s Hospital, "e promised some days ago to givp a few statistics in relation to this public institn t'On. It is given up to be a necessity of the times. Its management should be known 10 the public, and it affords us a pleasure to make such statements now as we have gathered up. It vyill be remembered that tie Hospital, some time ago, was turued O’er to t]) e i u f er i O r Court o f Hichraond oa,l ty, by the United States authorities, ince that time, Judge Samuel Levy, of the oferior Court, has had nearly the full charge the Hospital, so far as furnishing the anie has been concerned, anil also, ah g irds the fitting up has been concerned— -48 well ns the requirements of health to the ■unates.

The exercises at Springfield Church, on Wednesday afternoon, were of a peculiarly interesting character. At four o’clock, the ten colored Schools, accompanied by the Teachers, entered the church, in good order, where had already assembled the Richmond County Board of Education and a large number of citizens. The following was the ORDER OF EXERCISES. , Song—By Miss Engleriian’d School. Presentation of Medals to the representa tive pupils—ten in number—of Schools, by James N. Ells, Esq.

Recitation—Willie Williams. Addresses—Mr. Ware, State Superinten dent of Schools under caro of the Bureau, Col, Milledge, Judge Levy, Superintendent Ca/jjn. OJnchision—Song: “Vacation,” by Miss Merrick's School. We embrace the occassion to allude, brief ly, to what has been done for the freedmen in this city by the American Missionary Association. Some of our readers know that the central office is at No. 53 John street, New York ; and that whatever a wise Chris tian benevolence prompts in behalf of the freedmen, byway of common schools, orphan homes, relief for the suffering, and direct religious effort, the Association undertakes, to the full extent ol the means furnished by the friends of the colored people. Fully convinced that there can be no stability to a free government unless based on an enlightened Christianity,the American Missionary Associatiou, foreseeing that the result of the war would be universal eman cipation, aud that four millions of human beings, suddenly turned loose, must be a dangerous element in a democratic goveru ment, atiff, more than; alt. Inspired by the ..belie! th'at (these four mjjioHS: h ire witlun them a spark which must be developed- into a flame ol immortality, addressed itself to this work of education with a zeal and an energy, and a wisdom, which has never been equalled by any society since the days of the Apostles. Almost at the beginning of the War, just as surely as the slave came into the Union lines, he was met by the combined missionary and teacher of this Society, with thespelling book, the reader, and.the Bible. If hungry aud naked, he was fed and clothed so far as the funds of the Society would admit, and then he was put to the task of developing his mind and heart. This work went on, keeping pace with the progress of the war, until at its close the whole Southern field was thrown open to ity rfforu. Since then, every nerve and muscle mis been Btrai„ o/) . . tension. Some four or five hundred thousand dollars have been annually collected and expended in this work. A’ large portion of its funds has .been gathered up from the Sunday schools and the feeble churches of the North, and it has been expended with the wisest economy. Many of the Teachers have gone into this work without earthly remuneration. Some of them have come from luxurious homes; some have come as graduates, others as teachers, from the very best colleges and seminaries in the land. No less than five alumni, of Yale College are engaged solely in this work in the State of Georgia. These teachers have worked .on quietly, minding their own business, yet faithfully and earnestly—often times amid terrible opposition, frequently amid insults on the streets, and always under the ban of social ostracism. the work in auou st a commenced much Inter thnn in some other places. The first Teachers, two or three in number, came to this place in December, 1865. In January, 1866, others followed. Since then the work has been steadily increasing, until now more than two thou sand children have been taught to read, more than twelve hundred have been taught to write, and more than one thousand have been taught the elements of geography and arithmetic. Nor is this all. Thq teachers have distributed themselves among all the colored. Sunday Schools, and arc leavening mightily the whole lump. When the school hours have c'osed, they have gone into these huts of poverty and admiaistered delicacies and consolations to the sick. They have given them lessons in economy and cleanli ness, and counselled them to industry and sobriety. t A little of the outside of what has been accomplished here, some of our citizens saw in the closing exercises of the Schools on Wednesday. To know the extent of it, the Schools must be visited, the copy books must be inspected, Che recitations witnessed, and the order and cleanliness of the pupite observed. All this has been done without one cent of expense to the City of Augusta or the Statte of Georgia. We believe the day is not far distant when Georgia will recognize and appreciate this great work. We rejoice to know that it is already beginning to be appreciated. So great is the work and so loud the call for teachers, that the Association, presuming on the increased contributions at the North, sent a larger number of workers iuto the field than the finances of the society would warrant. The extra contributions failed because of financial distress. The question then came up, Shall these teachers go heni<- and put out the light which had already been kindled—or, shall they apply to the School Board of Richmond County to help iu this work, which really ought to be its own work 7 The appeal was made, and responded to favorably. The Richmond County School Board has the honor of being the first ill the ktate to lend a helping hand. All honor due to them ! It in, we hope, only a beginning of what will ere long he taken up and carried forward in every part of our noble State. Prizes, etc.. Awarded. MISS E. M. HVBBARII’s SCHOOL. Medal-Cary W. Thompson.

Ilta-T In remitting money by mail, the safest, way to do so is by Draft, or Post Office money order; and when neither of these can be had, send in “Registered” Letter. A letter can be “registered” at any Post Office in the United States, as no Post Master has any right to refuse, when asked to do so. AUGUSTA MARKETS.

Action on the nomination of Evarts as Attorney General has been further postponed by the Judiciary Committee. The members of Congress are becoming very anxious to adjourn, and will probably do so without touching the finances. There are no indications of the passage of Sherman’s funding bill. Several Treasury clerks were dismissed yesterday, on account of there being no appropriations made for them. and Means Committee recom mend that the bill taxing the interest on bonds, which they report in obedience to House orders, not to pass. The object of convening Congress on the third Monday itr November, is to have recess instead of adjournment, that it may prevent removals by the President. Boutwell objects to the bill dividing Texas. The Texas delegation to the National Con vention requests the President to remove Gen. Reynolds. Col. Graham will probably succeed Gen. Reynolds.
