Meyer has a house and lots for salo in Hamburg. See his ad 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.
