The 8U id >;u ti-mite of this eminent and hon ored citlz.r'i {alls liko an electric shock upon our community. Under the influence of men* tal alienation, which had been observed to be growing upon him, day by day,for months, he committed suicide at. his office on yesterday morning. A native of Augusta, he was, from early mandood, Identified wish the history of her honor, her interests and her enterprise, and received at her hands very many tokens of affection and esteem. An able lawyer, ire rr e to the head of his prose eion, which numbe-ed among Others, the names of Wilde, Oraaford, Holt, and Schley. Ho was the soul of chivalry —sacrificing convenience and interest, and lending the influence of name, wealth and po sition to succor the weak uad aid the friend less. Amiable in all the relations of life, Lis hand waa ever liberal to the poor, dispensing that unostentatious charily which shuns the public gaze. We trust, at a proper’time, eomo of his sur viving compeers will reader a fitting tribute to bis memory, ihsiihi it tit—ilium win iiaaatH—hh— aanaggEca. SARDINES. Lovers of the “fish biled in He,” should know that it belongs to the herring family and genus aljsa. 1 he popular name was given to it by Cuvier, who was the fi.'St to give it a distinct place in the finny tribe. lie called it sardina from which it is known aa the eardine. Batdines are c night principally along the coast of Brit*, tany, ar.d to a less extent in Portugal. The fishing vessels— gene:ally of eight or ten tons each, and carry't g a crew of from six to ten go out two or tfcroo leagues from the land, and war,oh for shoals of fi 11. When they sue them, they spread tbeir gill nuts tor them, ard scatter on the water the bait which lias been prepared and which con- Bist of the eggs and lleab of fish, especially codlbh, mackerel, and, sometimes salted fish. Large quantities of siv dines are taken jn this w;iy. Some are salted on board, and others are carried on shore, and cither sold fresh or prepared for shipment. For the latter pur pose, they are salted and parked away in tin cans, wiiii melted bulcer and olive oil, which me poured upon them in an almost boiling Elate. The cans are sealed ,up to prevent tha nir reaching the fish, and are then ready for shipment . The Bales in Europe are very great, as -he fish are there considuisd a great cleli cacy, and Jaige shipments aro annually made to America, whore thejr ate no If 3 esteemed than in Europe. ADiUSTMEST Os LABOR QUESTIONS. It is gratitymg to observe that me difficulty between the Publishers and Printers of Rich mond lias b-.en compromised, and the publica tion of the papers resumed. We have not learned tho conditions of the compromise, but presume, as lire term implies, that both parties yielded somi what of their claims, and effected o satisfactory settlement. This is the proper way to meet all questions which relate to the iuteiests of labor and capital. Instead of on antagonism, there is an identity of interest between them. Cut for capital there would be no demand for labor, and without labor capital would shrink from industrial produc tiven ss. Therefore, all the laws and usages which control the one should be based on a becoming regard for the interests of rbe other. .Strikes are based on the falpo and mischievous idea of antagonism between labor nnd capital, which only exists where a monopoly is created, or in densely populated countries where tbe gapp'y of labor is in excess of the demand. To bo thoroughly efficient, industrial enter prists must be so managed as to command the willing energies of the employees. Grudging toil seldom develops a tine artist, and demor alizrtion is not moie fatal to an army than to the operatives of an establishment requiring muscular skill und intelligent energy. There fore, a high sentiment of mutuality of interest should be maintained. Strikes are usually sad remedies to wrongs, real or imaginary. They are not unlreqnently sot on foot by a mis chievous spirit of ag'arianism, which cherishes an unworthy jealousy of well-earned success. They result from one-eyed combinations—see ing only one side of the question. In this count.}’ it is seldom, it over, the interest ot L»pit»l to oppress the labor which makes it productive; vheretore wrong, or imagined wrong, may usually bo righted by oonsiderate couuse! and generous compromise. It is an unfortunate time to raise issues be tween c -piial and labor, especially at the South; w bere both are inadequate to the wants of tbe country. It is especially unwise to d’scoorage and repress the spirit oi improvement by in considerate oxac lions. Labor needs tbe aid ■of capital more than ever, and should exercise a wise consideration for strengthening tbe credit and adding to the facilities of every or. terpvise which gives employment aud devel ops,, the resources of the country. \Ye observe iu roTns localities strong move ments in boha'l of the eight hour system, and we believe enactments have been made in some cl' the Legislatures favoring Ibis reform. L-.bor, like trade, should be led to regulate i self, under the great law of supply and demand. At this rime i: seems to ns that th? Inter. of this section cannot be promoted by any regulation which diminishes production. If fallen msu wero restored to Paradise it might be wise to so apportion his time tbat only eiglrt hours in tbe twenty-four should bo al lotted to toll. But effected as we are by the jostling comp -tilion of a world doomed in the sweat of the brow to eat bread, wkb fields and shops desolated, properly wasud by war and hampered by taxa lon incident to a heavy pub lic debt, these schemes for ameliorating labor and malting a p'.e- saut pastime of the duties of life, are too l : opinn for respectful consider ation out.-idea Woman’s Rights Convention, cr a circle of spirit-rappers. A baud of 100 gipsies, w ;th a regularly :p - pointed queeu, who was appointed two years ago, to eerve for seven years, are located on the dividing line between E t Cambridge aud Somerville. Mass. They get their living by horse trading aud fortune telling. DEVICES FOE MAKING MONEY, We trust we shall not evince an unchristian atpouct of “rebel prejudice” when we wain our readers against the manifold devices of the charlatans anand in the prese of the Northern cities. We dis like to use sectional adjectives, but these de vices seem to be peculiar to the latitude cf Naw York and Easton. Occasionally an bumble disciple cf the Eatae school set3 up ;n the rural districts, and invites the credulous to address hire at seme such place as Biddeford, Me . East Andover, N. II , or seme equally obscure locality. We have seen any quantity of tempting otters, proposing, for the mere pittauce of one or two postage stamps, to send directions for making a handsome living ; and for fifty cents to one dollar the most unques tioned and unlimited fortunes aro promised. Prizes in lotteries are the favorite avenues through which these disinterested philanthro pists propose to advance to sudden wealth their “confidential” dupes; the confidence be ing indiscriminately extended to every name, obtained from the current newspapers. We know several parties in this city who have r • ceivtd duplicates oi the same printed offer, ijuarankeiny a largo priz) on the receipt of the price of a ticket. The Midusian art of turn everything into gold, is conveyed by this school of alchemists, in all sorts of recipes ; how to catch all the fish in a given locality ; how to make artictes of ready sale and use ; the same being old recipes, cut from the news - papers. Another successful trick consists in offering to send, for a quarter or halt dollar, a likeness of your future wife or husband : which like nesses are bought at some picture gallery for about five cents apiece. Young ladies—or par ties so styling themselves—thus advertise their charms, and we have known several innocents to receive pictures that, lor savage masculinity, would frighten a moderately intelligent mule from his tnoruing fodder. How to make the hair and whiskers grow is another ready jueans of raising the wind —as numbers of young gentlemen, liko simple gud geons, catch at the bait that ptomises to realize their hirsute aspirations. A cotemporary reports ono cf these recipes for making a certain fortune, to be es follows : “Work like the d—l, aud don’t spend a cent.” This might be very practicable if all could get their bacon and greens n these rascals get their money—without giving any consideration f or it—but wo regret that curiosity, avarice, or verdancy ouabies the authors of these devi ces to mike nronc-y, not oniy without work, but by a violation of law and all the proprieties oi life. Wo claim not to bo better than other “peo ples,” but we do feel gratified that this tribe of advertising leeches! are almost strangers to our latitudo. We trust it may continue too hot for them, and that our people will contri bute any spare change they may hava to some more worthy objects.

IUCHvUM) COUNTY SUP RTOR COURT,) Ami, Term, IS-3G. FiaST Wkxk { Th) Gran 1 Jai J of Richmond county present, to y. ur Honor ns & riiitltr of epcc'a!congratulation, the ia' 3 Froclamßion of Ins Fxcel'ency, tile Ureii'e it, declaring the rebellion at an end —and Peace restored. Order and rcspc.t for Law, we h-pc, wtp to'low in the rain. Tornch an exteqt has the th'rst f r gain—the sentiment, “put merney in tby parse,” prevailed that the uma! modes of accumulating wealth, namely : by hene-t ind jstry-seem to a considerable extent, to have been abandoned, and the iader. if not smoother, road of theft, to have been adopted in lieu hereof. We feel justified, mom evidence before us, in say.ng, that vice is not alcn; c nfluc 1 to private cit’sens, but sworn officers ot )he l iw, have been ingage'. In some degree, if net by Street implication, at east by condonation. We feel al most .lust fied r. saying th t, Ftlony has been compounded; and unless those i fficers a»e brought to justice, we can have but litr e security to prop rry. They are made the Guardians of the law, :l?td !f they from a desire ot persona! gain, neglect to do their duty, where a-e wj loot for protec ion. Let the Grand Jury hut do their whcle duty, aa charged by your Eon or, and the fear of punishment will have tone influence, at east, in m thing those officers m re faithful to the trusts con fided to them The number of Indictment) subm'tted to us during the west, shows but ittte, if any aba'ement in crime since the last Term ot this Court. W'e cannot exp res. suipr se at this when wi t.ke lut > consideration the ligh' puridimeu indictee (for the comod sion of g-avt. offences) by Courts held in cur midst- So light is the nuuishmea' that iu seme ius ar ees it amount s almost o a reward ft ecau, however, congratulate the coun try npon the piospect ot a speedy return to the old anJ proper channels fort’ ring r.ffende e. As an act ot lustice to a large portion of the tax payers with in the corporate limits ot the city, wc refer to the present low a sessment of real estate. Ten time) the rent ot property bus b : retotore been considered is a fir valuation; but instances have been brought to our notici where tho annuul rent a ut-unts to one-third, one fourth, and one-fifth ot the value Os the property. One reason adduced for n t placing the assessments at a higher figure is, that the valuation made by the city assess rs is taker aj a basis for State taxation. Either ihe assessment are much too low, or rents are much too high. We piesent‘o your Henor, as a gtievance, the efibrtsthat have been and are being made to avoid doing Jury dutv. Al ready out of a votirg population of about sixteen hundred, there are near four hundred undfr the ago of sixty years ex empt from serving tn the jury b.x. We have o desire to make the faithful guatd ai.s of our property from the destruc tive element of fire, perform the double duty of Fneintn and Jurymen; tut the privilege oi exemntion from Jury dutv is made 100 cheap. It has come to oir knowledge that persons are permitted to attach themselves to Companies, but do no duty whatever, but iu lieu thcr.cf, pay annually to the Com pany of which Ihey become a member, a cattail sum of money rnug'ng irom five to eleven dollars. Tbe crime f carrying conceal ill weapons, both by white snd colored persaus. is carried to such an ex.CLt that tho whole energies of the law officers should be specially invoked to put an end to it. We also preseit as a great annoyance the practice of filing guns and pistols on the Sabbath day, and in voke the special attention oft! is and a tcceeding Grand Jurias to the necessity of not nang offenders end ind'.ttn.gthcm Wo found the Records in the office of the Clerks of the Su perior and Inferior (lo ir.-, and the Court of Ord!t ary, neatly kept. In the former olflce, we find some of ihe books in a moo IdiDg condition, and some of them will, in a few yearn, need careful transcription and rebinding. Thi6 is in part ow ing to the close prox'raity n; the to k .to the damp marble flooring of the offluc, and may, to a g-e.t degtee be reined ed by elevating the cases. W’e find a large number of original papers ha-e accumulated In the office of the Clerk of the Supe . nor and Inferior.Cotirts since 1851, wLich she nld be put up in strong envelope* and neatly labeled, The Clerk, owing to liis ctlier duties, is unable to do this, Wc therefore lecouimend the Inftrlor Ccuit to autuoiize him to employ competent help to cfo this, and to appiopriatc the necessary amount Tho open space iu the rear of the Clerk’s office should be ct - closed. We find that managers of county and State election) have in many i, s‘acres, failed to com, 1 y with the requirements of the law, by neglecting to return the t allots, and result to the clerk's office, many Justices of the Teace a>c officiating as such, of which there is no evidence of their election or qualification filed in the proper office, the same may be said of Constables. Justices of the Teace sitoul i see to it that these Constables, are under proper bond; snd that they have complied with the requirements if the law. ft e, therefore, ask that the Justices of the inferior Court should see th„t the Law is carihd out fully in this regard. Many otlie irregu lar.ties exist, which they can find out by confetcnce with the clerk. Ws presen 1 thatthe Inferior^ourt have t.e.n unable to do what is requuned at their hand", for the want of funds. > lie county treasury is without a dolia’*, and we recomme and that the Inferior court be authorized to levy a coun y tar, for county purpose not to exceed one hundred per cent, uptn thd fetate tax for t he present year. We fini that Teachers of the Poor Fchoo’s have received no payment in cauh since Apiil, 1865/ and c nsequently the Echools are im a deplorab y lanquishing condition. At p esciit there are four free schools in the chy, but they are sadly In want of bo ks, &c. ihe schools throughout the whole county should be re-established and encouiaged. For the last four years they have scarcely existed, and now the effort shou dto made to put, them on a safe basis, and to do this we recomm nd liat the Inferior Court raise, by taxation the sura us eight thousand dollars for the present year. Surely no one will o. jee® to paying his small proportion, when he reflects that it is for the purptse cf bestowing advantages upon those who are ua able otherwise to obtain them. The Jail is atiilin the hands of the military. Itisinve-y bad repair; s epa are broken down in front and rear, the re pairs upon the burnt portion have been suspended, and the back lence is entirely destroyed. At present there are abou 160 prisoners, wh te and colored cenfiied within it. Wc earnestly it commend that so soon as it is restor'd to the civil authorities that it be repaired. In view of the greatly increased number of prisoners, and the probability f lit-.le diminution— we would recom . eud that soma plan i e adopted for keep' lg t ie prisoners at work. i he roads of ihe county so f r as we havi- Icen able to learn are in condition. »he Lridge on the old savan-uah road t -x miles from the city, is in bad repair, and requires at once. The number of iimates in the ”oor House ii seventeen, and appear to be well cared for. The buil ing itse ,f i e ds con siderable repairs. J liese repairs it is earnestly recomm--ntled, shou and be attended to as soon as ihe Inf.rior oourt linds itself in a condition to do so. To His llouor, Judge Hook, we desire to return our cb Iga tions for the uniform courtesy and Coiisidera in manifested tjwarus us, and to the hea J, hsq., our thanks sot his attention and advice. To Mr. Jam s mu lin, ihe Keeper of he city Hall, espec'al thanks are due, for the fdi liful performance of his du ics The cleanly condition of the uourt Koorn and aluo the orand Jury • oom is evidence suffle'entof his close attention to the truat reposed in him.
