The Constitutionalist and “the Irish Girls." Several day* ago we published an ex tract from a letter of the New York Correspondent of the Constitutionalist, “Willoughby," in which the term ‘•‘dirty, thieving Irish girls” was used, a term which very justly gave offense to those citizens who came from the Emerald Is’e. After the lapse of the several days referred to, an article appeared in yesterday’s issue of that journal explaining that the fault. was with the proof reader, who overlooked the insulting paragraph referred to; snd then praising the gallantry of the Irish soldiers in the late war. Well, we are glad to see that our neighbor has seen, the error of its ways and apologized for the insult; but we fear that it is too late now to do any good. And so ‘‘git out wtd your blarney,” neighbor. Its of no use to you. That SI,OOO Bonus. ‘ LEnxGTON, Ga., Feb. 4, 1867. Editor Daala" Press: The two pon derous $lO a year dailies in your City, evidently tried to play the bluff game with your youthful, vigorous $6 per annum journal, when they asked for the SI,OOO bonus, and insisted on its payment before you could receive the telegraphic news. Your ‘‘seeing them” was a great disappointment, and they will find before long that they have lost far more than they have gained by the SSOO, of .which each of them deprived you. pretty much after the manner that Sherman's bummers deprived the South Carolina ladies of their ear rings and brooches, as illustrated by the pencil of Major Nichols, in his ‘"Story of the Great March.” We country people may be so unac quainted with the gentle arts which prevail in the great cities, that we are unable to see why you should be com pelled to pay the two newspaper pub lishers SI,OOO, or 1,000 cents, or any other sum, for the right to purchase telegraphic news, and print it for the benefit of your readers. We cannot see the consideration you are to receive, or have received, and are firmly convinced, at this moment, that because yon pre" sumed to publish a better paper for $5 a year than they issue for doable that um, and because you have double he number of subscribers and twice the advertising patronage which they ave, you have been made to pay a penuky lor your popularity and pros perity, just as you might be made to pay a penalty for a full pocket-book by an adventurous frepdman, who might find you alone and unaided on your way to the Sand Hills, oti some dark night, and might think that you had no right to be sick while he wanted a dinner. Bjt you may depend on it, that you will benefit largely by the transaction. The attempt to crush you has added considerably to the popularity of the Daily Fuess, and has caused no little disgust at those who resorted to such means to injure a fair and honorable rival, who asked no favors, but a clear stage for his enterprise, industry, and ability. Your paper is growing, and will still grow, because it is edited for the people, supplies the popular want, contains practical common sense suggestions, gives all the news, has nothing to do with cliques, or individual interests. It speaks the truth, maintains justice, and gives sound advice to onr poor people, and richly deserves the large patronage it receives, and the still larger patronage it oinst receive if you continue on the same line. I do not wonder tbat your lum bering old contemporaries should feel jeblous of your rapid growth, and should be mortified to see themselves outstripped on the track over which they fancied themselves going so gracefully and nim bly. -Cut jealousy and modification, however uatural under the circumstan ces, should never go the length of imi tating Ur. B. F. Butler or Sherinau’s bummers. Tbe demand of the bonus was a paltry ililliberality, of which I hoped no Southern editor could be capable, and of which in the good old days when Colonel James Gardner filled tbe chair so Southern newspaper pro prietor would have beeu guilty. While the many friends of the Daily Press are indignant at the injustice which has been done to you, they do not regret it on your account, because they know that you have triumphed, and that you merit the success which crowns honest, intelligent industry. OOLKTUoItI'K. Some admirers or Histori in Cincin nati recently got so frantic that they prAented her with six great fat hogs. This was ft queer way of expressing tbeir sossidgcfactiou of her acting. AS APPEAL TO TEX PUBLKS The officers of the Young Men’s Li brary Assoeiation in entering upon the dischaifeof thf irdu£ies, in tjiis, the twen tieth year gs Ml hislorj.ie*! it due alike to the public end tbemtelm to Hate, briefly, the circumstances which justify them iu making this Appeal to the com munity for assistance and support. The Toting Men’s Library Association was established In 1848, its objects being, in the language of its Constitution, “to promote moral and intellectual rmprore ment, aad to encourage the culture of Literature, Science, and the Arts in the City of Augusts.” la 1863 a Trust Fund was created by contributions from citizens to the amount of nearly thirteen thDuktnd dollars, aad which was in creased, by bequest and donation, during the late war, to twenty three thousand dollars. During the wsr this sum was reduced more than three fourths, and the accumulating interest on the small amount remaining, some seven hundred dollars, afforded the only capital with which to reconstruct the institution. An Appeal was then made lor public sym pathy and support by circulars, but, with one exception, proved unavailing. Notwithstanding this condition of tilings, our predecessors, with commendable energy, renewed the periodical and newspapor list, supplied, to a great ex tent, the current literature issued during the war, and added three hundred vol umes to the Library. The Society now finds itself in the possession •of some three thousand volumes, and its desks and tables are supplied with the ablest newspapers and periodicals of the coun try. The amount in the treasury, how ever, is but little in excess of one hun dred dollars, and the question we now submit to the public is, will they permit the only institution of the kind in Au gusta to fail? Or, will they come for ward and generously aid us in establish ing a Library which may become an or nament to our City in this generation, and which may prove the means of in stilling into the minds of those who come after us a spirit of "devotion to Literature, Science, and Art, calculated to advance its prosperity and welfare hereafter ? The population of Augusta, at pres ent, is not sufficient to justify the forma tion of institutions of this character as representatives of special class pursuits. It is only by a combination of all inter ests, mechanical, manufacturing, com mercial, professional, and industrial, that we can hope to succeed in building up a Library, to which the citizens of Augusta can point with pride. In this union of all classes will be found the strength of success. The suggestions of all contributors as to changes in management will be listened to with pleasure. Entering upon the discharge of our duties iu a broad and catholic spirit, we shall endeavor, while regard ing the prejudices of none, to pay due respect to the opinions of all. As soon as a sufficient sum can be raised to justify additional expenditures, we propose to open the rooms at night, enlarge our newspaper and periodical list, add to the volumes now upon oar shelves, and, under the auspices of the Society, furnish a series of Lectures from gentlemen of eminent distinction. The terms of subscription will he as heretofore. For annual subscribers, five dollars, with the privilege of introducing employees, or members of subscriber’s family, at one dollar each; or friends from a distance, visiting the City, to th® privileges of the Reading Room free of charge. For monthly subscribers, fifty cents each. For life members, fifty dol lars each. These sums are fixed at as low a rate as the financial condition of the Society will permit. They are the same as they were before the war, and, in saying that, we think we need say no more. Onr Librarian will be found constantly at the Rooms of the Society, to receive contributions, and we will seek the same through Committees. We appeal to all, whatever be their pursuit or occupation in life, who re gard reading, either in themselves or their children, as likely to prove a de light in youth or a recreation in old age, to join us in this effort to build up a Library in Augusta. Without your aid we will fail. With generous assistance, thus becoming co-workers with ourselves, we cannot but succeed. Geo. T. Barker, President. R. B. Bullock, Vice President. J. W. Wallace, Secretary. Young Men’s Library Association, Alexander H. Stephens. —Col. John Lewis Peyton has just published, in England, a work on “The American Crisis.” We select the following pas sage from the quotations given in a review of it by the Cosmopolitan: “ I passed out of (he office of the Secretary of the Navy, expressing a hope that he blight enjoy his repast and digest it satisfactorily, whicli 1 doubted, from the character of the proviaions then in the Richmond market, I "encountered in the hall, a lean, yellow, care worn man, his back bent forward almost into a hump, his chest bowed inward, one shoulder higher thau tbe other, small wasted legs, hands and fingers long and bony, dress loose and wrinkled, and shabby, gray-looking, damp and mouldy. His face was bony and emaciated, withered and twitching; his scanty hair fell ou his shoulders in disorder. His chin wus smooth and beardless, his breath short, while his restless eyes blazed with excitement. His voice, us he addressed such ac quaintauees as he met, was sharp, shrill, and squeaking, and his whole appear ance laded, anxious, disappointed, ex traordinary—so much so that he passed no one who did not turn and take a second gaze. I thought 1 had never seen so singular an object, and inquired ol my nenrest neighbor what appurilion it was. Imagine my surprise when I was informed that it was Mr. Alexander 11. Stephens, the eloquent Georgian orator, the conservative statesman, and energetic Vice President of the .Confed erate States.” ■ Special Notices. jfay- ADONIRAM COUNCIL, NO. 1, R.-.M**."JI.-. of M.-.-Sk* Regular Monthly Convocation of this Oouooil will bo held Is the Oeuncil Olinibef (Maaonie ''Hall), THIS (Wednesday) NlftAT, the 6th lust., at f Velesk. _.l .
