Death " VIA H. Pr,tctard.-We were
shocked TO hear yesterday that Mr.. VIM. IL.
Pritchard, the agent of the Southern Asso-
ciated Press. died AZ his lodgings 10 this city
on Monday night. We hsd heard that he was
sick, and had offered our services to perform
the little .ftices which are usually acceptabiU
to an invalid, not anticipating 80 speedy o
termination Of his sulieringA We make the
announcement Of his death with deep regret.
Our acquaintance with Mr.. Pritchard dates
back lees than twelve months but in that brief
period we discovered in him the sterling quail
lies which make up the true man and the sincere
friend. He was, however, longer and more

with the dead His RENAME were sent to
Augusta, Ga, last evening 1t may be con
soling to his friends to know that every ne
cessary attention was paid him in his last
hours. and that when he yielded up his breath
he seemed unconscious OF suffering.

The Cuy-Assistant Provost Marshal AL
exandsr has accomplished much good in his
energetic action regarding the matter of H.
quor selling. Having been we'll informed to
the effect that the prescription business was
being abused, he sought some means to have
it regulated, and did so-the affair resulting
since in the discharge, on parole, of a mum
Der of poor men confined for liquor selling
All parties whose cases were not aggravated
have been thus released. In administering
the duties Of Assistant Provost Marshal, con
siderable difficulty, as a matter of course, is
experienced by that officer, and he can only
avoid blame by the sternest impartiality,
which we believe is at all times exercised
-Four cases of fast driving were summarily
dealt with yesterday. Complaints of citizens
are promptly attended to. The city is now in
a very quiet state, aud knowing that this de
sirsble state Of things has been produced by
martial law, all must wish that law success.

The Richmond Varieties eontin-

Jessie Crisp Clarke, a daughter of the vete-

in this city, and was greeted with applause
throughout. She is a pleasing actress. and 81
