Suicide
   Col. F. W. Sims, known to many planters of Georgia as a cotton broker and commission merchant in Savannah, and more recently business manager of the Savannah Advertiser, committed suicide in San Francisco on the night of the 25th inst., by taking morphine. Col. Sims had just arrived in that city from N. Y. We presume his financial entanglements led to the act of self-destruction, although no cause is assigned.
