Funeral Obsequies of" Andrew J. Miller.
Yesterday was a sad and solemn day for Augus
ta. It was the occasion, on which were paid the
last tributes of respect, to all that was mortal of our
lamented and distinguished fellow-citizen, the
Hon. Andrew J. Miller. The demonstration of
sorrow, at the loss of this excellent man and valu
able citizen, was universal as it was impressive.
The remains proceeded from the late residence
of deceased to the baptist Church, attended by the
family and immediate friends, in carriages, and
by the members of the Bar who walked in proces
sion immediately after the hearse.
Arrived at the Church, which was draped in :
mourning, densely thronged, am’, surrounded by a
large concourse unable to obtain seats, the corpse
was placed in front of the pulpit, amidst the solemn
pealings of the organ. A dirge was then sung by
the choir. The Bev. Samuel Davis then impres
sively read an appropriate selection of passages
from holy writ. liev. Mr. J. H. Uverson offered
up a prayer to the Throne of Grace, and delivered
an address beautiful, eloquent and impressive in
the highest degree. It touched every heart in that
large assembly. Every heart felt how well de
served was the tribute of praise bestowed on the
honored dead, and the many tear-bedimmed eyes
betokened how sincere was the sympathy for the
bereaved family, and how profound was the con
viction of the public calamity. Many manly
hearts heaved with irrepressible emotion at the
severance by the ruthless hand of death, of strong
ties of friendship. Many heads were bowed in
sorrow, among the poor and humble, as the memo
ries of past kindness crowded thick and fast
upon their mental vision.
After the ceremonies at the church, the cortege
was formed, and proceeded to the City Cemetery.
The members of the City Council, the members of
the Bar, the Faculty and students of the Medical
College, the members of the Masonic Lodges, the
military companies, and an immense number of
citizens, contributed to swell the imposing proces
sion. It moved into and down Broad street, to
solemn music and the tolling of bells, and thence
to the last scene of the impressive ceremonials.
Every store was closed, there was no sign of busi
ness, no expression in all the vast population,
which filled the streets, except that of deep sym
pathy with the occasion.
Arrived at the grave, the Masonic brethren per
formed their solemn rites over their departed
brother.
The Oglethorpe Infantry then paid the soldier.
tribute of their vollies over the grave of their late
beloved commander. After this, the concourse
slowly and solemnly retired from the spot which
must ever remain hallowed in the hearts of cm
citizens.
We regret that the tribute of respect designed
by the Legislature, now in session, as indicated in
the following despatch, was frustrated :

The committee, of this morning, through lion.
VYm. G. Gould, chairman, reported the followin'!
Preamble and Resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted :
l he members of the Bar can find no language to
xpress their feelings, in the death of their distin
guished and lamented brother, Andrew J. Miller.
For thirty year-., ho has been a valued and hon
ored member of this Bar; and having, after a con
paratively brief training, risen early to the front
rank of the profession, he has long occupied an
eminent position among his brethren. To liis
professional distinction, is to be added a high rank
among our public men. Xo one has been more
prominent or more useful, in the councils of the
State; and of none could the untimely removal
have been a greater public calamity. To our city,
with all whose interests he was most intimately
connected, and whose prosperity he was most effi
cient in promoting, the loss is irreparable. Wlmn
to all this, we add a personal character equally
conspicuous f>r the most sterling integrity, and
the most concilia;mg disposition and active benev
olence, we are coinpclied to tealize that a man ha,
been taken from our midst, whose public,privatenml
professional character alike, rendered him mi ob
ject of respect ami admiration while living, anti •:
the deepest regret, now that regret is the only trib
ute we can pay. In view oi this calamity, if i ■
unanimously—
iV.s../That this Bar d* ply lament ihelo-.
to the profession, the city and the Stale, occa.si ti
ed bv the death of our distinguish: d brother, V
J. Miller.
/f, '■ J. That we tender to the family tins
heavily bereaved our sine-test sympathy in their
deep affliction.
E-solv-d, That as a token of respect for b.
memory of our deceased brother, the members oi
this Bar will attend his funeral to-morrow in
body ; aud wear the usual hedge of mourning f, ••
thirty days; and that the other officers of Court
be respectfully requested to untie with us in thes
demonstrations of respoei.
R-s ■ •• /, That these resolutions he presented
the conn, at its meeting to-morrow, with a reques:
that they be entered on the minutes, and that a
copy of them be forwarded by the chairman to the
family of the deceased, and published in the citr
papers.

Death oi the lion. J. Jliller.
The Savannah i?e ■ of February 4th
-ays: “ A dispatch, received last evening from
Augusta, brought to us the unwelcome intelligence
that the Hou. Andrew J. Miller is no more. He
'lied of pneumonia, at his residence in that city,
yesterday morning at half-past eight o'clock.
We had not heard of the illness of Mr. .Miller,
consequently the announcement of his death will
prove a painful surprise to his numerous friends
throughout the Ftate, while tie- -inccre regret f r
such an et ent w ill be confined to no locality or par
ty. Mr. Miller was one of those sterling, upright
men, whose services as a citizen and a patriot the
State cannot afford to lose. For ntanv years he ■
had been at the head of the bar in the Augusta :
circuit. As an advocate he was earnest and im
pressive, seeking to carry his points by the force
of truth aud his own abiding confidence in its
triumphs, rather than by the aits of sophistry and
the ingenious technical tricks too common in so
noble apr fission. Studies* and learned, h s
opinions were highly respected both by the Bench
and the Bar. As a business man, in integrity, per
severance and punctuality, he had no superiors.
F ir a long series of years Mr. Miller had repre
sented the county of Richmond in the State Legis
lature. where his abiltt e*. experience and useful
ness were so well known and recognized, that his
political foes never failed to greet him with a cor
dial welcome at the doors of the Capitol. For
several years he was the presiding officer of the
Senate, and discharged the duties of that respon
sible post with a fidelity that secured the respect
and-approval alike of friend and opponent. He
1 was a member of that body at the time of his
death, and we suppose had been called home to at
tend the Superior Court dow is session in Augusta.
We have neither time nor room to extend these
hasty comments upon the death of a good and
useful citizen, and shall leave to others a fuller re
cord of his virtues and his acts.”
Death of Hon. Andrew .1. Miller.
The Savannah Newt, of Feb. 4th, savs: ‘‘The
: telegraph last night brought us the melancholy in
telligence of the death of Hon. Andrew J. Mil
ler, Senator from Richmond, who died in Augus
ta at half-past eight o’clock yesterday morning, of
pneumonia.
Mr. Miller was an able lawyer, an influential
and successful politician, a high toned and honor
able gentleman, a generons and devoted friend.
Few men iu the State were more widely or more
favorably known, or exerted greater influence in
her councils. Abler pens will do justice to his
memory.
The Macon Telegraph, of the sth in»t„ says:
“We regret to learn, by a telegraphic despatch
received in this city, the death of Andrew J. Mil
ler, Esq. He died at his residence in Augusta.
Mr. M. was a Senator from Richmond county.

Who Runs may Read. —A British religious
journal states that a proposal has been on foot for
posting placards all over London, containing pas
sages from the Bible, printed in the largest char
i acters. Each placard to contain only one verse,
! aud sometimes only one sentence ; and to be rc
; uewed as frequently as the funds obtained will
i permit. A society is to bn organized foi carrying
i out this idea.
This is a literal realization of what Solomon
prefigured in the first chapter of his proverbs;
: “wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice
in the streets ; she crieth in the chief place of con
course ; in the opening of the gates ; in the city
she uttereth her words.”
A New Feminine Accomplishment. - The women
* iu California area shade faster than in many other
parts of this extensive country. A late number of
the Sacramento Journal gives an account of a lady
in that city, who, on the spur of a moment, bet a
double eagle with a gentleman boarder at a first
class hotel that she would take u little from each
dish on the dinner table, seasoned with a portion
of every condiment, and devour the whole; and in
addition she would take, us a drink !o wash it
down, a limited quantity of all the liquors in the
bar. She did it, and won the bet. Having confi
dence in her capacity, she afterwards offered to bet
a like amount that she would drink the man -her
betting opponent—drunk before nightfall, but he,
having had a test of her powers, politely dec-lined.
We hope they don’t make them all so in California.
The Type Battery.— Mr. Fry , of the Xew York
press, being called on to reply to a toast in honor
of the craft, at the late celebration of the Typo
graphical Society, made a v ery excellent speech—
the speech of the evening decidedly—in the course
of which he said:
There are two kinds of weapons. We have
Paixhan guns, Minio rifles, and Sharp's rifles; but
there is one thing that shoots further than all
these. It is the shot out of the type batterv. It
goes ar mndjthe world; it circles cities and threads
plains ; it wends its way through woods; it rattles
in the rigging ol'the ship on the most distant seas;
it is never spent when aimed high, but ricotchets,
striking with fresh force every form of evil, dish po
ol and oppression. In tiring, then, let your aim
always he true, and remember that to hit the mark,
aim a little above it.
Buiniu and his Embarrassments.—The Xew
\ ork Tn’ uTt- gives the following explanation iu
regard to the rumored pecuniary embarrassments
of the grout showman :
• As we understand the facts in regard to the
unfortunate entangling alliance between the Je
' { Company and Mr. Banning the latter,
tor the purpose, among other inducements, of es
tablishing : branch of tile manufactory at East
Bridgeport, where he was largely interested in
land, agreed with the Clock Company to endorse
and accept for them to the amount'of £ll o.oihi.
The notes and acceptances endorsed bv him were
g-nerally left in blank as regarded tlie time they
had to run, with the understanding that the' were
to be used mainly in renewals. He finds at last
that the paper out, with his name on it, is over
8-1.50,0,0. if compelled to pnv it, it would require
the sacrifice of nearly sl,oeb,ooo worth of such
property as he owns to’accomplish it. Tin- whole
affair, wc understand, will be sifted through the
law, and what the result will be, time only can it-!!.
Mr. Barnum, we believe, provides promptly for his
own private liabilities as usual. He has also amplv
seenred Jlr. Leland and Mr. Miller, who are Ins
bondsmen in the Munn case. When he made the
endorsements, he supposed he was fully secured,
but on examination the assets of the company art
found to be of much less value than estimated, ft
is doubtful if the concern could have paid its
debts fifty cents on the dollar auv time in the last
three years.”
What Next? —The senseless and contradictory
grounds furnished by the opposition for the war
they have waged against the administration, are
thus summed up by the People’s . Mass.) Advocate:
The course of the opposition towards the ad
ministration is marked with a most deplorable
want of principle. They began by denouncing
Gen. Pierce as an Abolitionist, then as a doughface
and servant of the South, then as an agitator, then
as a hunker, whom auy agitation would frighten
into tits, then as a dictator to his party, their as a
man of no influence, then as a perfect dictator
hen the.' complain because lie do' s uot direct Ins
party m Congress, and take the business of the
majority into his own hands; and, lastly, they find
fault because all their shiftiugs aud turnings' have
not had the effect to injure the Democratic chances
for the Presidency. Can anybody tel! us what the-e
fellows want next?”
Snow Financially Considered.—The Xew York
Tr'J’h ic, speaking of the recent snow fall in that
city, says:
A tip-top turn out for four—dinner, wiues, aud
etceteras included—will cost about a hundred dol
lars a dav. Os course there are many more mod
erate and some more extravagant; but to all who
“do the genteel’’ to their lady friends, the figures
will be slightly alarming. Should the sleighing
remain good for a week, the money that will change
hands in consequence, will reach a million of dol
lars.

Augusta Market, Feb. 5, 4 P. M.
COTTON.—Since the steamer’s news, received
on Thursday night last, we have had a buoyant
market. On Friday, the trade was verv much ex
cited, and sales were made at irregular prices, be- ;
cause it could not be correctly ascertained what the
advance by the steamer fully warranted. On Sat
urday the demand was not so active, and the mar
ket became measurably settled. On Monday, while j
some few cotton factors sold freely, and at full
prices, yet to the trade generally, the market ap- ;
peared rather quiet than otherwise. To-day ( Tues
day) business of all kind lias been, in a great meas
ure, suspended. We quote, as the extremes of the
market, from 8 to 9>£ cents. Crop lots, of pro
miscuous Cottons, from 8% to <>>£ cents.
SUGAR.—The stock of .Sugar continues light,
and prices firm. Browns may be quoted at from j
Bpi to lb cents. In barrel Sugars, A. 11 to 12;
B. 11, and C. to 10 % cents.
MOLASSES.—There is no Cuba in market. New
Orleans, new crop, is selling from 48 to 50 cents
per gallon, with a fair supply.
COFFEE.—We quote for Rio 12 V1%, as the
general sales of the week. Laguyra 13JX, and old
Government Java 16 cents.
XAILS.—From 4>£ to cents for 4d. to 4ud.,
and SI.OO per Keg, extra, for 3d. Nails.
M .iISK) . —Large quantities can be purchased
at about 4. to 4 s cents; but small sales, by the
barrel, 50 to 55 ceuf- is demanded. The stock con
tinues light, with but little opportunity, in eouse
qaencc of the ice in the Western rivers, of getting
much to market.
(ORN. 1 lie market is quiet. We hear of no
large sales within the past week. The supply is
fully equal to the demand. It is retailing at 75c.,
hut a lot would not command over 05, and perhaps
not over 60 cents. It is difficult to state prices in
so uncertain a condition of the market.
MEAL.—Selling at 80 cents.
FLOUR —All Superfine Flour, of City Mills and
good brands, have been selling at $9 —Extra $lO,-
50. Some few country brands are offering at $8.75.
There is not as much firmness in the Flour market
as existed a week ago, although prices are main
tained.
BACON.—But little new Ilacou has come for
ward, and prices cannot be considered firm, at the
rates prevailing a week ago. The tendency is to
easier prices.
LARD.—From 12 to 12-.1 cents may be regarded
as the ruling rates, by the barrel and keg, but large
lots will not command those prices.
BKE\ ES ANI) SHOATS.—There is a very good
demand for good fat stall-fed Beeves, and 7k7 to S
cents, as to quality, is readily obtained" For
shoals, from 7; _. to 8 cents are the ofl'eriug prices.
The demand tor all kinds of slaughtering stock is
good.
IRISH POTATOES.-—As the planting season
approaches, prices improve. Good planting $3.75
to $4.00 in small lots. Fine Eating Potatoes $3.00
to $3.25.
RICE. Selling by the tierce, according to quali
tv, from 5,V so cents.
BUTTER. —Goshen, by the keg, 28 to 30 cents;
Country 20 to 23.
SALT,—It is difficult to offer reliable quotations
for salt. By large quantities at the river $1.25 is
asked, but retailing at from $1.40 to $1.50, as to
size and condition of sacks.
STOCKS.- There is considerable enquiry for all
kinds ot Bank stock; but holders are firm and there
is but little changing hands.
LAND \\ ARRANTS.—The so, 16 ; aud 40 acre
Warrants are selling at SI.OO jp acre, but the
120 acre lots are worth but 97 cents.
EXt. RANGE.—The Banks are selling Exchange
at >4 jjT cent. prem.
1 N( t RRLXT FI XDS.—Bank bills of other
Stst. s are at from 1L to 5 j cent, discount. The
“Wild Cat Banks of Georgia” 2 to 5 $ cent, dis
count. The Dalton and LaGrange Cat mouev,
there is no sale for.
FREIGHTS.—By railroad to Charleston $1 y
bale for Cotton ; to Savannah by railroad, 50 cents,
and by river 40 cents bale for Cotton. On other
articles no change.
t. HARLESfOX. Feb. A- -Colton- —Wehaveagaiu

to-day having reached 3329 bales. The transac
tions show a verv full range of prices. The sales

In Philadelphia, Feb. Ist, Corn was reported
dull, and had declined three cents per bushel—
price i 2,cents. Hour was dull. The supply was
small, and considerable difficulty, in consequence
ot the ice, in getting supplies forward.
in Xew \ ork. Feb. Ist, the corn market, declined
two to three cents; shippers had retired from the
market, and the home trade were buying sparingly.
Corn quoted nominally from 63 to 90 cents for
Southern White and Yellow. Southern Flour, plu
vious to the news, was firm, with a moderate de
mand. About 2500 barrels changed hands at
$5.62- j(d :s6.s7J4 for mixed to straight brands,and
fftlislo.2s for fancy and extra. After the
receipt of the news, no sales of moment transpired,
aud the market was tso unsettled to quote with
any degree of accuracy, although a decline of two
shillings per barrel is reported in some of the
papers.

PRESENTMENTS
Os the Grand Jury, of the County of Rkhmoiui,
for the fir*t week, January Term, Eighteen Hun
dred and I'ifty-sLc.
The evils which result from the use of intox
icating liquors, have beeu forcibly brought to
the knowledge of the Jury during their present
service. They feel warranted in saying, that those
evils have increased, are increasing and ought to
be diminished. Most of the violations of law, on \
which they have been required to act, have been :
traced to the sale of such liquors at licensed es- '
tablishments.
In fact out of fortv-three true bills found by us,
in thirty-six cases, the origin of the crime charged,
may be traced to liquor.
The Jury are of opinion, that the system of li
censing the sale of intoxicating substances to be
drunk at the place at which theyjare sold, is wrong
in principle, because, if the practice tends to pro
mote the public good, no license should be requir
ed, any more than for the sale of sugar, coffee, or
provisions. But it is clear that no license should
be granted, if it is found, by experience, to cause
too many temperate youths of the State to form
habits of intemperance, and too many of those who
have unfortunately formed such habits to commit du- .
ring a temporary insanity—after the result of their
excesses the most deplorable crimes, causing in
the families of the criminals, and in those of their
victims, the most accute distress, and filling the
communities, in which they occur, with horror und
dismay.
They are of opinion that the evils referred to,
would be greatly diminished, if the license laws
were so amended as to vest, in the Inferior Courts
of the respective counties, and the corporate au
: thorities of cities and towns, the power to fix the
| price of license and the canditions on which it
| should be granted.
■ We have examined the county Treasurers books
and accounts, and find the same correct and neatly
kept, and all the entries supported by proper
; vouchers. In connection with this subject, we
i think it justly due to Mr. Keener, the Collector, to
1 acknowledge his uncommon energy and prompt
j ness in the performance of liis duties.
We find the Jail in good condition, clean and
j well kept. The prisoners, of whom there are four
; teen white and eleven colored, seem to be well tu
i ken care of, but we would recommend that iuat
j tresses for the white prisoners, and additional
l blankets for the colored be provided. We also re
commend that the Jail he warmed by means of a
I furnace.
, We find the roads in as good condition
ias the extreme bad weather would admit; indeed,
| in better condition than usual at this season of the
| year, with the exception of the ford on Little
1 Spirit Creek, at the old Turknett Mill on the
! Waynesboro’ road, and we recommend a Bridge
j over it. We recommend that the bridge near
Watkinsville, across the gully leading from the
old Sand Hills road to the lower Sand Hills road,
which is now in bad order, be repaired without de
lay.
We have examined the Poor House, and find it
| verv badly managed. The inmates are not provi
j ded with proper food and clothing or wood for
: their comfort, which reduces them to an actual
j state of suite ring. The rooms also are in a filthy
j condition, we therefore recommend the immediate
! removal of the present Keeper. The building re
! quires some repairs und the grave yard an enclc
i sure.
j Entirely coinciding with his Honor, the Judge,
! in his recommendation in regard to the preserva
■ tion of the Public Records, we urge the very great
; importance of the adoption of some plan for their
! security.
| We find the various records and papers in the
, office of the Ordinary in perfect order, exhibiting
care and faithfulness in the performance of his du
-1 ties. Hut, while examining the books of the office,
i our attention was arrested by finding all the earlier
I records, (covering the period say from ITtsO to
I 1800,, in a very imperfect state, entirely without
1 any index. Some ot them, in fact, mere uiemoran
j duin books. As some of these records are ot
j great importance, we earnestly recommend that
( they should ho copied into suitable books and pr< -
; perly indexed, and also that among the older vol
i nines, those which are in a dilapidated condition
I should he re-bound. By law, the Ordinary is also
, Poor School Commissioner. 1 n that capacity we
| have received his report, and have critically exan -
! tned his accounts and vouchers, and have found
! them correct.
There has unquestionably been imposition prat -
ticed upon the poor school fund, und moneys have
been drawn from the Commissioner to which th -
; recipients were not entitled; hut this i> the faultof
; the law, not of the Commissioner. He has no ai -
j thority to appoint the teachers, nor lias he the poo -
1 cr to remove or reject those who may be incompc
j tent or unfaithful.
; Deeply impressed by the charge of his Honor,
i the Judge, and heartily concurring with him upon
I the vital importance of providing a good education
I for every child in theenunty, jet, while the present
; law remains unaltered, we hesitate to recommend so
j large an assessment as is necessary to secure this
result, being convinced that much of it may he
! misappropriated. There were l,'.'iochildren in the
county, by the last returns, and a tax of 4o per cent,
upon the State tax, i double that for the past year
is required to provide schooling lor these children,
and to pay the deficiencies of the past year. Os
the deficiency, the sum of *'47.59,‘is reported a-.
| due a former collector, E. C. Tinsley ; being monev
overpaid by him, into the Treasury, and his conl-
I missions for ! which he had omitted to chargi.
: We think Mr. Tinsley is justly entitled to tins
j amount, and recommend that it be paid.
As to the sums paid to the teachers, and proved
j by vouchers, we have nothing more to say. But
i one item in the account—a receipt for *94.62, for a
j school house erected by the Commissioner, in the
| 119th district, —we think that, as he acted without
authority of law, this charge should nat be allowed,
> and the amount bo refunded. We would that the
| law required that there should be a school house
j erected in every district of the County. As we
i hope that the present law rotating to Poor Schools,
j at any rate so far as this county is concerned, mav
j be so amended, during the present session of the
Legislature, as to provide for the proper regulation
j and supervision of the schools, we leave the ques
: tion, ot the amount of money to he raised for Poor
Schools, for the next Jury to determine. They
will sit the first week in March, and can then m r
understanding! v.
We cannot leave this subject without saving a
I few words about the Poor Schools of Augusta.
By the munificence of the late Mr. Houghton, am
ple provision has been made for the education of
j all the children of the lower portion of the citv,
without expense to the county.
The Augusta Free School provides for the cen
! tral portions, but no provision has been made for
the upper portion, consequently any person who
i may chose to do so, opens a school and draws his pav
from the Commissioner. During the pu.-t tear the
j sum of about :slOov has been paid for teaching poor
: scholars in the fourth ward, f low much, or if am of
j this sum was unjustly paid, we are unable to say bui
where there is no supervision and uo controllim*
power, it w ould be most singular if there were m.
abuses. If a suitable building was provided, in a
; central location, in which all the children of the
district could he received anil this slutu.i, now scat
tered in various quarters, paid only to competent
teachers for this on- school, how much better it
would lie for the interests of the children and of
l the city.
In closing our labors, we return our thanks to
His Honor the Judge for his courtesv to us. It at
i fords us pleasure to bear public testimony to the
; assiduity, ability and firmness with which" he has
B performed the very responsible duties of his of.
: ttce.
i We also consider it incumbent upon us to return
our acknowledgements to the Attorney General for
his attention to the laborious duties of his office
and the prompt aid which he has afforded to the
Jury in the discharge of their duties
