Dr. Ridley waa one of the most prominent citizen* of Western Geor gia, and for probably thirty year* lisd been an eotive and influential leaderof Jmblio sentiment in that motion. He bad repeatedly represented Troup oonnty in tho Btate Senate and House of Representatives, besides receiving nniuoron* other tokens of popnlar appreciation. He waa, besidea, a most akillfnl an.lsuooaasful physician and surgeon, and np to the day of his death was aotively engaged in thodnliesof his profession. His kUnsas waa very sudden, aa we learn, not more than a day or two elapsing between the seizure and death. In ovary relation of life, Dr. Ridley was one of the moat estimable of men, and we tender to hia afflicted family and near friends# sympathy for hia character and personal -jnslitiea.

Ilrnln null Tliynlral I.ubor, When the body is taxed by severe exeroise or eontinnons exertion, prolonged repose is indis- pensable, or the machine give* way sr.d refuses to set. The waste of the system by perspira tion and the protruded tension of the muscles must lie restored by corresponding rest and food stimulants. Hence the dsy-laborcr re qniraa from eight to ten honr* of sleep, and an imal food also, in considerable amount, to sns tain bis bodily fundioos. This does not ob tain, however, in menial portraits. The fnllest exorcise of the mind for the greater portion of tho day and night daring a long period of years, is compatible with perfect physical health. Sir Robert Teel, the elder Fitt, Lord Fainter ston, the Dnke of Wellington, Lord Brongbam, Mr. Webstar, Sir Walter Scott, Boron Hnmbolt and a hundred other instances might be ad dneed to confirm this statement. It ia a groat mistake to suppose Uist study aluno will break down the oonstilntionand lead to prenialnre decay. Wbon Ibis oocurs, tho re salt may be traced to palpable violations of hygienic economy. If the mind be I ixed, and the hotfy at the stmo time ia abused, of coarse a onllapsc of both is inevitablo. We repeat, however, that with proper alien tiontotbe ordinary rules of health, the mind is capable of almost indefinite exertion, with out deleterious conseqnence*. This may be as cril>ed, at least in psit, to the difference exist ing between the operations of the mind and body. The waste of the latter is positive, and appreciable in it* effect* under the wear and tear of exposure. Hence, the process of recu peration requires time, and other addenda, to be complete.

Thns the student who has toiled long and psinfally to solve some knotty problem, falls asleep in his chair, and after a brief period of total mental oblivion, resumes his task with mind refreshed and porfootly nnincnmbered with former harden* and difficulties. The con nection with the peat seems to have been sun dered, and the mental faonlUea take a new de partnre. as it were, and are ready for fresh con fliota and pronder triumphs. This will aoconnt for the prodigona amount of brain work which has been accomplished in a limited period by eminent anthon and professional men. It is vnae dispensation of Providenoe, and mark* ont very plainly the line of demarkation between the material and immaterial easenoe of the hninan organization. >Yno arc Their TonleUcrntcn? The New Y’ork Tribune, in an article on tho financial condition of Sonth Carolina, and the thieve* who have been plundering that State, ya: If Honlh Carolina had nothing of whleh to complain more discouraging than the beggarly aooonnt of empty ooffer* lately reported, (he might be leas exasperated with her earpet-bag government. A State which bad a landed prop erty worth over $70,000,000 at the end of the war, and snob elements of prosperity aa are found In the culture of the great SonthenfiUta plea—cotton and rioe—ooutd soon replenish her drained treasury if she had fair credit and an honest, prudent government. Bnt the report of the legislative investigating committee, who have just been looking into tho alleged over- iaane of bonds, shows that the credit of the State has gone with its money. The operations of the ao-called financial board have not only been reckless, bnt as dishonest (to compare small things with great) as the financial joggling of tho Tammany government of New Y’ork city. It is vain for Governor Soott to attempt to throw the blame on tbo Legislature, which ha accuses of extravagance, or on unnamed con - spire tors, whom b» charges with a systematic attempt to destroy the credit of the State. To be sure, the General Assembly drew from the treasury the enormous amount of $5S3,651 44 On aooonnt of the “legislative expense*,' and the State was run in debt for $91,300 for fnrni- turofor the State House, (aa la alleged;)but neither of these preposterous items, nor any ‘‘bearing” of the market by men hostile to the looal administration, could honestly be taken in •xteanatioa of an overissue of more than $9,000,000 in bonds. Tbo old debt of the State was $0,065,836 27 : on the 1st of October, 1870, it waa jnst $1,000,000 more, and on the 21st of November. 1871. it was $15,800,908 98.
