James NJ. Steuart.

We fiud 10 the Sonora Herald, the follow
ing complimentary remarks on James NJ.
Sseuari, esq, formerly of this city, on bis re-
firing from the cfite Of Sheriff Of Tuolumne
County, California.
"Tbe present being an appropriate coca
sion, we cannot refrain speaking of the tx
Sheriff as he deserves When a public of
ficer proves good and faithful servant" il
is right for the press to commend him and
hold bis career up as an example. james NJ.
Steuart retires from Office with clean hands,
ith the reputation, among friends, and Toes,
of being high-minded, honorable gentle
man, aud OF having proved faithful and
efficient officer. During his Gftcai term be
never made an effort to use bIs positOL-
though one atfordipg abundant means and
uneouali ed advantages for such actioE--as
lever for future political advancement lie
did not seek a reelection, as did each OF his
predecessors, but devoted his time to the faitL-
iul discharge of his duties, dabbIlng little 10
politics. His unselfi b conduct in this respect
is known to all In this community, and will,
We trust, he remembered, 10 connection with
his clear record, By the people OF TuOlumDe
County. 1t is peculiarly gratifying TO Us
that we are enabled to speak thus OF re-
firing official, when We are daily dlsheartened
by evidence Of tho political rascality which
exists 10 our State. We wish Judge Steuart
a prosperous and happy career, whatever
may be bis choice OF business IN The future.

Letter from Rte IN m o n d

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette.
RIcuMoYD, March 17.-Both Houses of
the Gen eral Assembly are progressing very
rapidly with the business of the session, ans-
ious to get away next week. The bill pro-
yiding for general elections and the cleo
ton of County Officers, was ordered to be
engrossed to-day. II is q very important
bill, and simpl'fes very much the Elec-
ton Laws. 1t will DOUBTLESS become law
before the adjournment. It's probable, also,
that the various bills providing for the set
,,ement O. the arrears of interest due from
the various Railroad Companies, anil, also,
the hill to make the inv estments Of the Com
monweal,h more productive by enforcing the
navment of interest and sinking fund 90
| inans 70 Internal Improvement Companies,
of dividends or preferred stock. and OF the
interest IN the bonds of such Companies,
Guaranteed BIZ the State; also, the bill dshn'
IN. the movers and duties OF the B lard OF Pub
liz Work !: will all become laws; all OF which
are very important matters. A bill was re-
ported tc-lsy, irCm Special Committee and
ordered t. a third reading, authorizing the
Governor to clear the Penitentiary OF all Free
Negroes AID Slaves, by putting them on the
Public W urke that is, on tue Coving.on and
Ohio Road. Ii is further provided, that any
Slave convicted and sentenced for sale or
TRANSPORT ton, instead of being sold into
friendly States, shall be done likewise with,
and nut 10 work. So all colored gentlemen
convietet of crime, instead Of living in Rich
mopd will have an opportunity of visiting
the Kanawha Valley, under an escort OF the
Virginia Regiment.
4 bill was reported yesterday. to incorpor-
ala the Farmers ana Mechanics Savings
