I give it as my opinion, from an
examination of the papers, that tho sum of
Two Thousand and Forty-nine Dollars and
Thirty-one Cents, being tbe principal and
interest of tho Augusta Cenotaph Fund, has
been amply secured by the Treasurer.
[Signed] Wm. R. McLaws.
Clam Soup.—The lovers of this ar
ticle will see, by notice in another column,
that there will be a lot of it served up at
tho Alhambra, at 11 o’clock this morning.
Don’t forget it, if you want something good.
Wanted. —A young lady who can
come well recommended, wants a situation
as teacher of small children. Address G. W.

For Sale. —G. H. Meyer has a house

vertisement in another column.
The Ladies* Memorial Associa
tion.—The ladies of Richmond, Va., with
that genuine charity which is so character
istic of the sex, havo organized an Associa
tion, styled “Tho Ladies’ Memorial Associa
tion for tho Confederate Dead of Oakwood,”
tho object of which is to rescue from ob
livion the graves of the Confederate dead
who lio buried there, and to keep them in
good order. Their graves are the resting
places of patriots from every section of tho
Confederacy, whose lives were sacrificed in
the vain effort to secure its independence ;
and it behooves every State of the South to
aid the good ladies of Richmond in this no
bio charity.
It will be seen by the following circular
that Mrs. M. E. Walton, of this city, has
been appointed Agent for Augusta and vi
cinity, and will be pleased to receive con
tributions in this behalf. These should be
banded in to Mrs. Walton by the 10th of
July next.
The following is the circular, to which wo
invite especial attention :
Richmond, Va., June 18th, 1866.
ToMra. M. E. Walton , of A icjusta, Ga.:
Madam—You are hereby invited to aid
“The Ladies’ Memorial Association for tbe
Cenfcdcrate Dead of Oakwood,” in their
labor of love, as set forth on the accompa
nying Circular, by acting as Agent in your
vicinity in collecting aud forwarding con
tributions.
Confederate Soldiers from every State of
tho South lie buried here, and your State is
very fully represented in this vast City of
the Dead. If-each State will but contribute,
at once, the sum of SI,OOO, the names and
graves of your noble sons are saved from
oblivion. If you are willing to act with us
in this cause, please signify your accept
ance of this appointment, and commence
work at once.
I am, very respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,
Mrs. M. 11. Smith,
Pres. Ladies’ M. A. for C. D. of 0.
Mrs. A. R. Courtney,
Sec’y L. M. A. for C. D. of 0.
Gen. McLaws.—As our readers are
already aware, Gen. Lafayette McLaws,
Clerk of the Superior and Inferior Courts
of this County, has been prohibited, by.the
Government, from exercising the duties of
his office, because of his not being pardoned.
Os course it is not a question for us to dis
ouss, as we could not change the result;
but as tho General was the choice of the
people of the County, for the position
which ho holds, and it is not a United
States office, wo should have been glad that
Government could havo overlooked such
cases as this, and allowed the General to
remain undisturbed. As it has thought
different, however, we hope that it may not
be long before a general amnesty will re
lieve all our citizens of these political disa
bilities.
Bathing in tiie River.—Our up
town neighbor has had his nerves shocked
by some boys and men bathing in the river
oi> r oaicu mo trty, on the Carolina side,
often swimming to tho middle of the river,
and almost exposing their nude persons to
the inhabitants of Bay street, below the
bridge. That is reprehensible, nay, shock
ing ; but, really, we don’t see how it is to
be prevented by our City authorities. We
haven’t got a river police; and “tho hare
must first be caught before it can bo
cooked,” which, translated, means that tho
aforesaid naked men and boys must
be caught before they can be properly
P, S.—We since learn that application is
to be made to tho City Council to furnish
the Mayor with a Navy, to consist of some
six or seven bateaux, with the “What is
it ?” for the Commander’s flag ship. With
this fleet his Honor will be enabled to keep
the river as clear of evil-doers as the City is
at present. Our neighbor may now rest
easy.
Recorder’s Court.— Judge Gibson
presiding—There wore but two cases in this
Court yesterday morning. Gabc Brown, a
Freedman, charged with stealing cotton
from Mr. Flemming’s warehouse, was, in
default of SI,OOO bail required of him,
committed to jail to await his trial before
tho October term of the Superior Court, on
the charge of larceny frojn the house.
A colored woman, charged with a viola
tion of the 18h Section, was dismissed, the
evidence not making out a case against her.
Maj. S. H. Crump.— We are pleased
to learu that our gallant townsman, Sam
uel 11. Crump, Esq., has been appointed
Deputy Sheriff. Asa soldier and civilian,
ho has won tho respect and admiration of
the community; and we are sure that
Sheriff Smith could not have made a more
acceptable or a more judicious appoint
ment.
New Books and Music.—J. C.
Schreiner & Sons have got “Bill Arp” and
somo new Music—a popular Ballad and a
Grand March.
Turtle Soup.—There will be some
genuine Green Turtle Soup served up at the
Oglethorpe Lunch to-day. Families will be
supplied at $1 per quart.
Ex-Provisional Governor Johnson,
of Georgia, was, on Suuday, nominated by
the President to tho Senate, to bo Minister
Resident to Bogota.
Gazelle— Meet to-night. See the
special notice.
