MILTCeNSTITf f WMLIST j BY JAMES GARDNER. Tl KSDAV .MORNING, FEK’V 5. Death of Andrew J. .Miller. Profound and universal sorrow pervades this community, occasioned bv the death of this much beloved and most valuable citizen, who departed this life on Sundav morning, 3d inst., after a short and violent attack of Pneumonia. On his arrival t at home on Sunday the 27th nit., from Mtlledge ville, where he had been assiduously engaged in hn duties as Senator from Richmond, he was la boring under the incipient stage of the disease, ltut with that devotion to dutv which ever char acterized him, he was in his place in the Superior Court on Monday morning, where professional eu- ; gagements called him. He was there seized with * a severe chill and was compelled to retire to his i home. There, surrounded by its beloved in- j males, and attended by the best medical skill ot ' our city, which availed naught U» arrest the march j of the fell destroyer, he breathed his last, soothed , by the cousciousuess of a life well spent, and j cheered by a Christian's hope Mr. .Miller possessed, in an eminent degree, the j confidence and respect of our eutire community, and during a professional career of thirty years he enjoyed a very large and lucrative practice, and continued, from year to year, to increase his legal reputatiou, until he took position in the State in the very trout rank of his profession. Courteou.- and kind in his intercourse with his professional j brethren, and remarkably liberal in bis practice, j he ev* r commanded their respect and won their ; warm friendship and regard. lie was indeed to ' them a brother. In this character the writer knew j him well and intimately, and as such, appreciated ! and loved him. It is to us a mournful satisfaction to testify to his high merits and noble nature, lie - practiced his profession not merely as the astute i lawyer, but in the elevating spirit of a votary ot justice, ever mindful of the high moral and social responsibilities of his vocation. In every qualin of mind and heart, he was an ornament to his pro fession. So far from availing himself of his posi tion and influence to foment litigation and strife among his fellow citizens, he often arranged, out ot j Court, difficult questions among contending par- ; tie 3, bycompromises in away to secure to each sub- i siantial justice. While he never sacrificed or ueg- j lected the interests of a client, the opposing party, ( when placed in his power, found him always a for- j bearing antagonist, and often a substantial and i sympathizing friend. This was one great secre; j of his marked, uninterrupted, and almost unlimited influence among ns. la political life lie enjoyed not only the nevct ; failing, and ever active support of his party friends, . but such was the confidence and admiration of a , large number of fellow-citizens who differed with him in political questions, but who valued highly his . business qualities, his devotion to the local interest of his constituents, and his probity and kindness of heart, that they, too, stood by him at the polls in every contest. He lias represented Richmond county, either in the Senate or the lower house, so« twenty years in the Legislature, and was nev er defeated before the people. During this time he has been known to the whole people ot Georgia as an intelligent, sagacious, and useful legislator. In fact lie was pre-eminently a working man—exhibiting always an industry that never tired, and a vigilance that never slept. Time and again elected President of the Senate, he always exhibited promptness in tlie despatch of business and clearness of judgment in the decision of difli cuit questions. His decisions were rarely appeal ed from, aud appeals from them still more rarely sustained. At the close of the sessions the thanks of the Senate for the ability, courtesy, and irnpar liallv with which he discharged his duties were j always passed unanimoui ly. But it is not alone to the legal profession and n , hosts of clients —it is not alone to political friend.-- i and to the halls of legislation that the death of Mr. Miller is a great loss; nor yet to political oppo- ’ nents, who, in this solemn hour, forget their past J contests with him, anil deplore the death of one i whom all of them found an honorable and formida ble antagonist that they respected and honored, while they ditfered, and many of them loved sin eerely as a persona! friend. It is not alone the - ■ i cial circles of private friendship, nor the yet nn>n sacred circle of domestic ties, that mourn. The entire city of Augusta feels deeply this bereave - ment, for she has lost one of her most valuable ci-i- , /sens—one identified with all her interests, one who ; lias been useful and important to her in a thousand ; ways, aud on every important question requiring ' prudent and wise counsels and active efforts. The humble and the poor feel this loss, for to them Mr. Miller has been a kind and efficient friend, and his charitable deeds are written in their memories and their hearts. The Hon. Andrew J. Miller was a native of St. .Mary’s, Georgia. lie removed in early manhood to Augusta, was admitted to the Bar and here com menced and continued to the close of life his pro fessional career. He was in the fiftieth year of his age. PROCEEDINGS OF CITY COUNCIL. Called Meeting ok Council, / February 4th, 1356. ) Present —Wm E. Bearing, Mavor. Members —Messrs.

The Chair stated that the Convention of the City Council was for the purpose of paying the last tri bute of respect to the Hon. Andrew J. Miller, late City Attorney. Mr. Conley, member from the Third Ward, in a few appropriate remarks, announced Mr. Miller’s : death o tiie Council, and introduced the follow ing Preamble and IT solutions, which were anuid mouslv ad spied: ' ANDREW J. MILLER IS DEAD! What announcement could be made to the Ci'.y Council of Augusta that would cause deeper s.; row or more profound regret?

Resolved, That in the sudden decease of Mr. Mu ler, the city has been deprived of the eminent counsels and active labors of one of its most d.-- tinguished citizens, whose loss will be deeply felt, not only by our city, but by the State, in* whose services he lias been so often called, and where, in discharge of his duties as Senator from Rich mond county, be contracted the disease which has removed him from our midst. /A- -I.

About twelve o’clock on .Sunday night, a tire commenced its ravages, in this city, on the East side of Chew's Alley, and continued its desolating i course for about three hours. The weather was ' very cold, whiehjdetered many persons from emerg i ing from their residences; and the quantity of i burning cinders and flakes of lire, which filled the j air, and were borne off by the wind, caused num ! bers of citizens to remain about their own neigh : borhoods, to prevent the occurrence of other fires, j j Roofs of houses, as well as combustible materials, j I were ignited in the first ward, several hundred J yards below the principal scene of conflagration, j but were, fortunately, noticed and arrested. The j wind was from the West, and occasionally blowing | stroug, which rendered the fire in a great measure | unmanageable. But the gallant Firemen of the city, when the fury of the flames seemed to mock i their efforts, redoubled their energies, and battled I with the raging element until it was subdued, j ! The Firemen had no child's play on Sunday night, j - and deserve great praise for their devoted services. The fire originated in an untenanted house in j | the alley', and it is presumed was the work of an j j incendiary. ! Below, we give a report of the principal houses 1 • and stores destroyed by the tire : ON lIROAD STREET. The wooden store and brick house in the rear, j owned by the estate of Zach. Tlrpin—insured. Occupied by J. Rk.vklk, in the upper tenement its j a grocery and provision store loss uncertain -in sured on goods for SI,OOO. J. B. Hanzo, in the tenement below, us a Boot j and Shoe shop—loss very trifling. I The next house on Broad street, on ilie West corner of Chew’s alley, was owned by Mr. Miller, , formerly Mr. B. F. Chew’s). Occupied as a Bar j ber’s shop in front, and the residence up stairs va ! cant. The house on the east corner of Chew’s alley, 1 formerly' Mrs. Sera’s, owned by Mr. Antonio Pizzini, of Richmond, Va. No insurance. Occu pied by A. P. Wert, as a grocery store, and r.-si- . j denee up stairs. Insured on goods for 41,000. The wooden house below, owned by Mr. B. Mi Kennon, who resided there. Insured for slsou. Mrs. Bruce occupied the store a-, a millinery and j fancy store. She was insured for SI,OOO. Wooden house next below, owned bv the estate of Jacob Abrahams—no insurance. Occupied by Discur. A Pilat, as a bar room. The three story brick house, owned by Mrs. Ki.Ncni.Kv. Insured for $3,600. Occupied by R. ! Aldworth, as a grocery and its a dwelling. Furni ture an entire loss. Insured on groceries SI,OOO. j ON ELLIS STREET. Wooden house, owned by B. F. Chew, insured for sll 00. Loss about SI,OOO. Occupied by Mrs. - E. J. Brown, Dress Maker, us a residence. The loss of this lady we could not ascertain. House on West corner of Chew’s alley, owned by Mr. Miller, was occupied by Charles Gross, as i a residence. His loss in furniture and clotliing was about $l5O. House owned by Mr. I’izzim, oh east side of | Chew's alley, was uninsured and unoccupied. House owned by B. McKenno.n, insured for SSOO. ! Occupied by' Mrs. Hadley, a widow lady. Her loss we did not learn. House owned and occupied by Mrs. Tires, a ! ! widow lady. No*insuranee. IN THE ALLEY. j Two or three families who resided in the alley j j we could not ascertain the names of. One was a Basket Maker employed by Mr. Yates, ihe blind , | man -another was a widow lady and her daughter, and another was Mrs. Cahill, a widow lady. A colored man, by the name of Bill Hale, a huck ster in the market, and another by the name of Ed mund Fox, a painter, and some one or two colored families, resided iu the alley . All the houses on he west side of the alley, belonged to a Mr. Mil ler, aud we understood were insured. The losses by the Insurance Offices, so far as we could learn were :—- Augusta Insurance and Banking Co., about jSl.ooO Hartford and Home Companies,... .5,000 to 6,000 Southern Mutual, 6,000 to 7,000 If any other offices sustained a loss by the tire, we S did not hear of it. About twenty-five houses, large aud small, were destroyed, and although not costly buildings, seve ral were neat and comfortable residences. Only two were built with brick ; the balance were of ! wood. Election of Speaker. By reference to the telegraphic reports, which we take from the Charleston Courier, it will be seen that, on Saturday last, the Republican, Free Soil, Abolition candidate, N uthan. P. Banks, of Massa chusetts, has been elected Speaker of the House of ; Representatives of Congress, over Wm. Aiken, of South Carolina, by a majority of three votes. On the final ballot, Mr. Fuller received six votes, which, if added to the vote received by Mr. Aiken, would have elected him. Who the six so-called Rational Know Nothings are, who voted for Mr. Fuller, aud thereby ren dered certain the election of Mr. Banks, we have yet to learn. We trust that Southern men have not thus thrown the power and influence of Speaker of the House, iuto the hands of the Free Soilers of Massachusetts. We shall examine more minutely into the result, when the mails bring us the facts and the figures. [communicated.] Miss Eliza Logan, as Adrienne. Miss Logan was greeted, on her benefit night, by ' the largest aud most brilliant audience we have j ever seen assembled in this city; on which occa sion she not only sustained her former reputation, but great as it was, she even surpassed it. The character is one very difficult to master, and , which but few attempt; but Miss Logan has shown i herself equal to the task; and this, together with her many other beautiful and powerful personations, justly entitles her to the proud distinction she bears, of being the greatest American actress now on the American boards. She displayed the various pas sions of the human heart with a degree of perfec tion nothing but great genius and skill could ar rive at. Her large audience were, at times, spell-bound, as if by enchantment, and so still (a thing unheard ; y before that you might almost have heard the falling of a snow-flake; and whenever she ceased speaking, the enthusiastic cheers and prolonged ap plause spoke plainly of the great ett'ect she was producing. In the last scene, where Adrienne falls a victim to the cruel revenge of her rival, and dies bv in having the poison, the full heart, charged to its ut most capacity, could bear no more, and the “ big tear” which stood iu every eye, spoke in an elo quence of which we are not capable, of the power ful and magic influnce of her genius. Os the Maaseijles himyn, we cannot speak in terms too ex travagant—suffice it to say that the song which “ a nation to arms, was sung, looked and agted bv her, in a manner which baffles descrip tion. Iter triumph was complete. Spectator. Augusta, Feb. 4, 1856. The News of Soui.oi qi k's Overthrow Con eirmed.—By the arrival of the British steamer at j Jamaica, from Jacmel, in Hai ti, news has been re- 1 eeived from that island to the. Isth January, being up. days later than the previous accounts. The news of the complete rout of the imperial forces >' toe Dominicans is confirmed, but no additional •tetails are given beyond those already published. , cei one tune fancied that it would have been difficult to eclipse the juiscoe of the late Mexican dictator. Fausthn s last stroke of generalship, however leaves them far behind in comic interest. \\ hat awful fellows must those Dominicans be. wnen the very scent of them makes a ho-t of ni*- gec* turn tail! —„Y } , Mrrald ° Case of James Parsons, Jr. An Act lias recently passed the Legislature of ; A irginia, for the relief and protection of James ; Parsons, Jr. The fact* of his case are briefly as follows: He followed into Pennsylvania a slave, ; the property of his uncle, and having overtaken [ him, the slave was forcibly rescued by a mob, and i Parson himself maltreated; and after being brought before a Justice of the Peace, was ordered to jail, unless he could find hail to appear before the Quarter Sessions on the fourth Monday in Jan uary, ult. Parsons, after some difficulty, found two gentlemen to become his security, iu tiie penal sum of s'?,on t. [t is now argued, that if Parsons stands his trial, such is the venal character of a Pennsylvania court and witnesses, that he will be convicted of “ kidnapping,” and sent to the Penitentiary. This act, therefore, authorizes the Governor of Virginia to pay and discharge all i | costs, charges, fines or penalties which Parsons, or j his securities may have incurred in the premises ; i “nd makes it liis duty to test the validity of the j -a w ot Pennsylvania, and the proceedings in Court against James Parsons, Jr., and his sureties. Mr. Parsons has gone to Pennsylvania to stand i trial, and the Governor of Virginia has appointed John Randolph Tucker, Esq., his counsel, on be ! half of Virginia. A Printer’s Verdict.—Alfred Dutch, of Chi cago, lias obtained a verdict of $15,000 against F. C. Sherman, Ezra Sherman, M. Began and others, for the destruction of his newspaper establishment some four or five years since. Mr. Dutch, who at ! that time was publishing the Chicago Commercial Advertiser, was owing the Shermans a small debt j which he could nor conveniently pay. During his ! absence they attacked his establishment, in doing i which they literally turned it out of doors, greath j injuring the presses, and converting the type to pi. ; He brought a suit against them in turn for the damage thus unnecessarily done to the establish ment, and has just succeeded in getting a verdict i as above. Female in M ill Attire. —Singular Discovery. — In Baltimore, Wednesday night, a young ladv, : about nineteen years of age, was arrested by the j watchmen, in male attire. She was recognised by j a gentleman from Albany, N. V., as the daughter , of a wealthy citizen of that place. She served as i a nurse in Norfolk during the epidemic. The t | American says: On Tuesday afternoon a person, dressed in the ; garb of a man, arrived bv the Philadelphia train and stopped at Sherwood's Hotel, at the corner of j Fayette and Harrison streets, registering the name of Charles Walters. The party had the features j ot a woman, but no suspicions was at the time ex cited. On Wednesday morning she came down i stairs and called for breakfast, which she disposed of, and she sallied out into the city. While she j was at breakfast, the proprietor engaged in com er ; Bat ion with her, and as soon as she left, expressed his suspicion that it was a female in male apparel. During the day the chambermaid moved the valise of the guest, when it opened, and a pair of corsets, such a* are worn bv ladies, dropped on the floor. This fact increased the suspicion, but nothing was said about it until night, when the intelligence was conveyed to the house that a female in the male I garb had been arrested anil conveyed to the middle districtwatchhou.se. She stated that she was from Albany, where her parents now reside; that her name is Caroline Walters; arid she was induced j to leave home to search for a young man named ; William Aid'd, whom she learned had come to this | city. The young lady is very pretty, of rather large | size, aud four mating in her conversation. On j Thursday morning another young person, dressed in male attire, but evidently a woman, called at the Sherwood House and asked for ‘ Mr. Walters,” and upon being told that Miss W. had been arrest ed, made her escape. Miss Walters will be sent ■ track to her father at Albanv. Short Weights in Flour. There has been quite an important discussion ! for commercial circles, growing out of the loss or deficiency in the weight of Flour bought in one j market for delivery in another. We extract the ; following from the New York Shipping J.ist and \ Prices Current : j “A case in relation to deficient weights and j false tares, of considerable interest to parties en gaged in the Flour trade, has recent lv given rise to ; some action on the part of the Boards of Trade of , two Western cities. It appears that a Flour dealer ! in Pittsburg, ordered through his agent in Cincin nati. a lot of a certain quality of Flour. The Flour was duly examined by the inspector in Ohio, pronounced “all right,” received by the agent, and 1 shipped to Pittsburg. There it was re-inspected, ; and found to be deficient in weight from three to : ten pounds per Barrel. The purchaser sought re- I dress from the seller, who declined to pay for the short weight, and the matter was referred to the . committee of arbitration of the Chamber of Com ; meree in Cincinnati, who decided that no reclamn j tion could he allowed, for the reason, that as the defendants only guarantied the inspection in Cin j eimiati, their responsibility ended as soon as the j terms of sale were complied with, or the inspection i and delivery of the Flour in that city. The plain j til” was not satisfied with this decision, aud carried j the case to the Committee of Appeals, who con j firmed the decision of the arbitrators. The matter j was next brought to the notice of the Pittsburg | Chamber of Commerce, where it was referred to a | committee for consideration. After discussing the ; case at considerable length, the Committee dissent ed from the opinion of the Ohio arbitrators. They I remark that they are at a loss to comprehend upon 1 what rule of ethics or common law, the decision ot I the Cincinnati committees was made ; nor arc thev able to discover the nature of a defence against tin payment for non-delivery of an article of commerce, when the proof of such non-deliverv is undisputed. The decision, they say, appears to have been based entirely upon the ground that there is express duty defined to, or required from, a flour inspector iu Ohio, by law, otherwise than that of judging of th< quality of Flour, the matter of weight being disre garded. If such be the rule in Ohio, the commit tee contend ttrat the question as to the quantity of Flour in a barrel is left to the buyer and seller, ac cording to the laws by which trade is governed; and the quantity of Flour in a barrel being fixed \ by a general law of the United States at one hun dred and ninety-six pounds, if a purchaser bus's a barrel of Flour, lie is, in the absence of any special contract to the contrary, entitled to one hundred and ninety-six pounds. ■J3&" J* Newby A Co. received by the last steamers, a good lot of Fine and Cornu .on Clo thing, suitable for winter weather.
