Trenholm, Esq. Spring Styles. lf you want the very neatest shoe in the market, go to Blodgett & Cos. f Disclaim Kit.— lt has been intimated that n little thumb paper circulated about town fir a day or two past, was printed at the Daily Press Job Office. We disown the bantling in toto. It was not, and could not be, printed at this office. Serenaii .—About 12 o'clock last night the Daily Press was honored by a serenade from a company of juvenile amateurs, little sons of Thomas Fisher, E<q., accompanied by their father, who "(liil" the catgut most artistically. These lads make excellent music, and they will accept our t.ianks for thus pleasantly relieving the monotony of midnight toil. Meeting in Atlanta Atlanta, March 4—5 P. M. Meeting to-day was large. The oppo nents of Governor Brown’s policy were out io large numbers and succeeded in break iug up the Meeting. After which, they organized a meeting—passed Bunkum reso lutions, and adjourned. The recontftructionists havo called an other meeting to-night at 7 o’clock. The opposition threaten tu eqiielck it. The above is a copy of a private dispatch received in this City last evening. We hope the political leaders and would-be office-holders will not attempt to repeat the tactics of 1860 and 1861. The time for ‘‘squelching'’ public expression of the people’s wishes, we believe, has passed, and office-holders may as well retire upon the honors they have had, and make place for our young men. Lecture To Niout. —The Lecture heretofore announced by Rev, J. O. A. Clarke will he delivered to night, at Ma sonic Hall. The subject of the Lecture —“ihe Altar, the Tabernacle, theTem pie, and their Worship”—is one of in terest to all religious denominations, and, in the hands of the able speaker, will be attractive and instructive to all. I lie use of vocal and instrumental music pi divine worship will be especially con sidered. Mr. Clark has been obliged, from failing health, to abandon his pas toral labors, and has yielded to the in vitation of his numerous friends in the city to deliver this lecture. The price of admission will be sl. Tickets may be had at the Book stores and at the door. Ihe proceeds, it is proper to add, are tor the benefit of Mr. Clark and his •unily, and we know no one who has hlgiler cluil »s upon the public eonsid eration than this able and zealous cler gyman. He has devoted his life to offices of benevolence. He labored assiduously during the war for the relief and care of the sick and wounded, having been a leading sp i ri t in the Georgia Hospital and Relief Association, which dispensed nearly or q u i l 0 a mi U ion of dollaM among the Georgia soldiers. He is now cut off from his usual resources, and it is but a fitting recognition of his devoted services in the gentle offices of charity and benevolence, to give him a crowded house. Remember— to-night, a t g o’clock, at Masonic Hall. Death or a Good Citium -Mr. J. E. Munger, for many years engaged in tha Jewelry business in tliifn ied at his residence on Greene itroet, nn a day morning, of conaumption. \j r . Munger waa a gentleman of unobtrusive manners, and possessed in an eminent degree those sterling qualities of mind and heart which constitute the good citisea. His integrity was unspotted— his word was his bond—and in aB the relations of tile he was faithful and just. He was buried on yesterday at 11 o’clock, front St. Paul’s Church, to whose communion he had recently been ad mitted. He was a member of Georgia Ist Division Independent Fire Company, aud his funeral was attended by the members of tlut Company in a body, and by a largo concourse of citizens. He leaves a wife and three interesting children, who have the earnest sym pathy of tbe whole community in their bereavement. Medical College Museum. The public will be gratified to learn that the Janitor of the Medical College, Mi* Rich, has been authorized by tbe Trus tees to throw open the Museum con liected with the College to the free in spection of visitors for two or three days. At the invitation of Mr. Rich, we looked through the Institution on yesterday, and were surprised to find so large and interesting a collection, in the various departments. In anatomy there are mummies, and skeletons of meu ani mals, fish, birds, and insects ; in miner alogy and conchology, the cabinets are quite large; there are manikins and representations in plaster and wax, as well as preserved specimens iu alcohol, representing alt phases of diseases and malformations. We were much inter' ested iu a specimen of the devil fish’ preserved in alcohol, and are satisfied that Victor Hugo had seen one. There are Indian implements and fossil re mains in great variety. In short, the collection is worth seeing—and we ad vise all who have a spare hour, to avail themselves ot the opportunity of obtain ing valuable knowledge,, and gratifying a laudable curiosity. The Museum is in the most complete order, and contains nothing calculated to shock the sens! bilities of the most fastidious. Parents should by all means take their children. It will be opened at 9 o’clock this morn ing, and Mr. Rich will be iu attendance throughout the day. An Error Corrected. —The Charles ton Mercury, in noticing our reference to the “quick work” of the steamship Lulu, which vessel we stated had arrived at Charleston, Feb. 9th, and delivered goods in this City on the 19th, says that “the Lulu did not arrive in Charleston until February 12th, instead of the 9th, as stated, and that tbe only authority for ihe latter was a typographical error in the marine news of the Guurier, which might easily have been discovered by an attentive reader.” Well, accepting the correction, it will still be observed that six days elapsed before the goods referred to were deliv ered in this City. We are still of the the opinion that such “quick work” is behind the times; and there can he no good excuse for it. We do not desire to do the steamship Lulu or the South Carolina Railroad injustice; but we think that their own interests require greater dispatch in the delivery of goods iii the interior. The mail goes through fruin this City to New York in two days; and wc do not see any good reason why freights should require six days for trans mission Iroin Charleston to Augusta. Mulberry Farm, March Ist, 1837. Messrs. Editors :At the request of Dr. J. 15. Black, I visited, with him. on yesterday evening, a lady who had, two days before, given birth to (4) four living babies—all boys. The chiirden were all well formed and fully developed, and was supposed would weigh about three pounds each. 'lhey were living and doing well when I vis ited them. The’mother, (Mrs. George Ileyes), a lady about thirty years of age, was also doing well. The family live in the lower edge of Barnwell district, about ten miles from Midway, on the South Caro lina Railroad. In these days when bread is so scarce and hard to get, and we have to depend mainly on our own ex ertions for a living, is it an affliction or a blessing? * Tiie Present Conurkss.—Only nineteen out of the thirty-seven States are represented in the new session of Congress. New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Kentucky, Tenues see and California have not yet chosen their Representatives. The 30 members from these States, with those excluded from the ten Southern States, leaves only 161 as the whole number that can be present. According to the usage of the last few years, a majority of these, or 81 Totes, will be a quorum in a House which legally consists of 243 members. New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island, will elect new members in March and April; the rest of the States named will he unrepresented until August and September, when their elections occur. United States Soldiers and the Mexican Struggle.—A letter from Havana, January 19th, containing Mex ican advices to the 6th January gives the following : According to the Mexican Times , on the departure of the French troops the capital will be attacked by a force of 15,000 of the enemy, but it is of opinion that it would require 40,000 men and a three months siege to take the place. Major Gen. Lew. Wallace is said to have been named a General of Ilivißion in Juarez's army, and according to the above authority, more than 200 officers of the United States Army have joined Juarez. The same paper estimates at $120,000,000 the value of the property confiscated by the republicans belonging to imperialists in the States ofUurango, Chihuahua, Zacatecas and San Luis. Hon Juan Flores of Durango, who re ceived from Maximilian the Cross of the Order of Guadaloupe, has had his twen ’ ty-three estates, which are valued as ' worth $11,000,000, confiscated by J uarez. [communicated.] PUBLIC MEETING. Mr. Editor: Have tho kindness to pstmit me a word or two on “the'Attra liou.” It is known that tbe military bill, hav been vetoed by His Excellency, the President, has Been passed by both Houses ol Congress by tho requisite ina* jority, and may now be regarded the law. 1 hose who hope for rescue from Us provisions, at the hands of Ihe Su preme Court, base that coufideuce upon an illusion—-that body having, as we are reliably informed, recently passed a reso lution, for the present, not to iuterfere with political questions. » It is idle to talk about “passive re sistance" and masterly iWhctivity. ” These will avail us nothing, but are much more likely to work us harm, and harm onlv. The time for action has ar. rived. Some seem to think that the path marked out by Congress may be pursued by ourselves, or -it will not be followed by any. This, too, is an illusion. If we do not provide for forming a Consti tution, as per requirement, one will be formed for us by the new body politic* The military bill carefully abstains from intimating any mode by which a Convention can be organized for the pur pose indicated. Logically, there are but two ways lor accomplishing the object. The first is that of primary meetings .in each county, by which delegates to a Central Convention may be chosen, which latter organization may fix the number of delegates and appoint Commissioners to superin tend an election for delegates to a Con stitutional Convention. The other mode is that the Legislature may be speedily convened, in order that it may pass a bill providing for holding a Convention under the restrictions of this act of Con gress. This latter mode, for reasons patent to every thinking mind, is essen tially preferable. The first step with us, is to hold pri mary meetings in the several counties in the State, for the purpose of requesting Gov. Jenkins to convene the Legislature. It is said that we need not be in huste about this matter ; that much time must needs be consumed in the preparation, etc. Let us not by this be deterred from acting; for, supposing that the Governor calls the Legislature together at once, Fall will be upon us ere the Convention shall have assembled. The writer has reasons for believing first a majority of the legalized voters of Richmond county, under the present State Constitution, approve these sug gestions, and it is, therefore, respectfully proposed that our people hold a County Meeting at an early day, say Saturday) the 9th inst. Citizen. Augusta, March 4th, 1867. River News. —The steamer Two Boys arrived from Savannah on Sunday and leaves for Savannah to-day. River quite full. —— Meetitg in Hancock. A meeting has been called at Sparta on Saturday next, to take into consideration the course to be pursued in view the late action of Congress. Rumored Homic de. —The Savannah News says it is rumored that Mr. Geo. T. Hayward, one of the most respected planters in Beufort District, was found a few days ago at his plantation, shot through his forehead. The report of firearms was heard in the vicinity, and it is believed that he was shot by a negro formerly in his employ. Edgefield Court.—Court is in ses sion at Edgefield this week. The Ad vertiser says that nine hundred writs have been returned, a large number of which are summary processes, and many are suits of administrators. If anything of interest occurs we hops to have a re port of it for our readers. Seizure of a Distillery.—We learn that the United States authorities on Sunday seized a distillery which has for some time been in operation without li cense on the premises of a Mr. Caspar, in the lower part of Broad street. The distillery being a contraband institution was confiscated, and will, we presume, in due time be sold. Troops in Tennessee.—The Tennes see Legislature unanimously passed a joint, resolution calling upon .the Federal Government for triops to protect the people of that State. The Conservative Members voted for it on the ground that its adoptian would save them from Brownlow’s militia. Republican Majorities.—The Re publican majority in New Hampshire last year was 4.65 G; in Connecticut, 541. As there is a split in the Republi can party in both those States, the Democracy are hopeful of success. Judge Ekskink’s Opinion.—Judge Erskine, of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Geor gia, made a decision, nearly a year ago, in the ease of Win. Law, Esq., that the Test Oath is unconstitutional. He delayed the publication of his decision in deference to the Supreme Court of the United States, which had the ques tion under consideration. Memphis. —A correspondent of the Avalanche says that, to his personal knowledge, fifteen hundred substantia] houses have been erected in Memphis during the last twelve months, and that most of them are the property of the “disfranchised class.” He predicts that Memphis is destined to be the commer cial centre of the United States. Memphis Bulletin. —Cnpt. Raphael Semmes is announced as editor-in-chief of the Memphis Bulletin, with Col. L. J. Dupree as associate. Col. Dupree was connected with the Register, in Atlanta, during the war, and is one of the most finished writers of the day. Corrox Factories in Tuix&fir— Theie are now thirteen Cottott fictorie# in operation in Tennessee, representing nearly a million of dellars, and giving employment to over nine huodfed ope ratives. There are also in tb* State several .flourishing factories fur tke man ufactory of steam engines, Cotton press es, and agricultural implements. Action or the States. —The- North Carolina House of Representatives, after animated discussion, referred to the Committee on Federal Relations a resolution declaring the willingness of the State to accept the proposed plan of Congress for the reconstruction of tbe South. The Virginia Legislature is to be convened in extra session as soon as the present session expires, which will be ou Saturday, to take into considera tion the Congressional plan of recon struction. Food for the South.— Tbe New York Tribune, alluding to the action of Congress, in sending a Government vessel to convey the contributions from New York tq the South says ; We are amazed at the appathy with which the appeals hitherto made for our starving cppntrymen have been met. As yet, apart Irom what our noble wo men have raised, only $35,000 have been contributed. Ten years ago a like appeal would have been responded to at the rate of hundreds of thousands per day. Are these people less near to us because of their need ? Let ns resolve that at least SIOO,OOO shall be contrib uted this week by our city. Let us not be shamed by St. Louis, which bae give en $126,000. Regulations for Lent. Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, falls on the 6th day of March. 1. All the faithful who have com pleted their 21st year, are, unless legiti mately dispensed, bound to observe the Fast of Lent. 2. They are bound to make only one meal a day, excepting Sundays. 3. The meal allowed on fast days not to be taken till about noou. 4. At that meal, if on any day per mission should be granted for eating flesh, both flesh and fish are not to be used at the same time, even b/way of seasoning. 1 5. A small refreshment commonly called collation, is allowed in the eve ning; no general rule as to tbe quan tity of food permitted at the time is or can be made. But the practice of the the most regular Christian is never to let it exceed the fourth part of an ordi nary meal. 6. The quantity of food allowed at a collation is, iu this diocese, bread, but ter, cheese, all kinds of fruits, salads, vegetables, and fish. Milk and eggs are prohibited. 7. General usige has make it lawful to drink in the morning some warm liq uid ; as tea, coffee, or thin chocolate, made with water. 8. Necessity and custom have, au thorized the use of hog’s lard instead of butter, in preparing fish, vegetables etc. > 9. The following persons are exempted from the obligations of fasting • Young' persons under twenty one yew'll" age, the sick, nursing women, those wno are obliged to do hard labor, all who through weakness, cannot fast without great prejudice to their health. 10. By dispensation, the use of flesh meat will be allowed at any time on Sunday, and once a day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays, with the ex ception of Holy Tuesday, and the sec ond and last Saturdays of Lent. 11. Persons dispensed from the obli gations of fasting, on account of tender or advanced age or hard labor, are not bound by the restriction of using meat only at one meal on days on which its use is granted by dispensation. Others dispensed from the fast for other causes, as well as those who are obliged to fast, are permitted to use the meat only at one meal. How to Kill Little Girls.— Warmly and fashionably dressed moth ers may be seen on the street, leading their shivering little daughters around, with hardly enough clothing on their lower extremities to protect them from sight,, to say nothing of the piercing blasts. An exchange says : Yesterday, we saw a little girl led by its mother through the street. Her little collar aud muff and hat were ol the warmest fur, and well she needed them, for it was bitter cold ; but her little legs, bare aud blue, between her stockings and skirts, told a shivering tale. Who does not daily see tho same thing? Little frail girls, with head aud shoulders bundled in unneeded furs, while from the feet to a point above the knee, the little darlings are almost literally naked. Os course mothers who thus dress their children are very far from intending to kill them or render them permanent invalids, but such is the probable result of this fashionable exposure. It is true that most children have their limbs well protected, because most mothers have an intelligent regard for the health of their offspring, but there are many who are clad as we have mentioned, and to the mothers of these we address our appeal. “As little girls are now dressed, their skirts are no protection against the wind or cold below the knee; aud what do they have as a substitute ? Linen drawers, reaching just below the knee, and there meeting the top ol sloe-kings which usually have ah iut half the warmth possessed by men’s socks. Let us compare this armor with the clothing of boys and men, who have at least five times the power of endur anee possessed by the little girl. The father of this same little six year old girl would consider himself coldly clad, and a certain candidate for rheumatism if his lower extremities were not pro tected against the wintry blast by first, thick wool socks reaching more than half way to the knee; second, wool drawers reaching from the waist to the feet; third, bootlegs of double leather reaching nearly to the knee; and fourth, thick woolen pantaloons cover ing all else, and reaching to the foot. And yet that same father permits his delicate, blue vciued child to go out iu winter with legs encased in a single thickness ot linen. How would he like to walk in the winter streets clad in linen pantaloons and nothing else ?” —The Missouri Consolidated Mining Company, in the prosecutiou of their mining operations, uncovered a heavy vein of pure lead last week. This vein is over eight feet thick, and is said to be the most wonderful deposit yet discov- I ered in the State. Bji ©dtorapl). TO THE ASSOCIATED FBSSS. Special Dispatch to the Daily Press. The Atlanta meeting. Atlanta, March 4. A meeting of oitizens .▼»» hcM here to day which was largely atte.oded. Resolutions, recommending action tinder the Shormun bill, and approving Governor Brown’s patriotlo advice and conciliatory spirit, were offered; bat beine objected to by many persons present, tbe meeting adjourned 'till this evening. After the adjournment, tho politicians and ex-office-holders organized anew meet ing, and passed resolutions characterizing the Sherman bill as harsh, unjust, and un constitutional-extolling tho course of Andy Johnson as nuble and patriotic—that the Southern people ha*e manhood and honor left, which must Dot be bartered away by approving provisions of tho Sherman bill— (this means, “save the whole crew,” o la Chronicle and Sentinel.—Ed.)—recommend ing Southern Governors to take measures to test the Constitutionality of the Bill before the Supreme Court. FROM WASHINGTON. Congressional • Washington, March 4—P. M. SENATE. Mr. Wade was conducted to the Chair f and Mr. Forney was then elected Secretary. The Senato then adjourned. It is not probable that the President will send a formal message to Congress to-mor row. It will be very brief. HOUSE. The House proceeded to the election of officers. The Republicans nominated Col fax, who recoiveJ 127 votes. The Democrats nominated S. S. Marshal who received 30 votes. Mr. Brooks referred to the fact that seven teen States were unrepresented, of which, seven were of the original thirteon, and pre sented a protest from tho Democrats against further proceedings. The clerk refused to receive the protest. Mr. Colfax resumed his seat, and members were sworn in. Mr. Colfax announced that the President had signed within the legal time, all bills passed within ten days; except that appropriating fifty thousand dollars for the Paris exposi tion, which was not engrossed. A protest accompanied the army appropriation bill to the following effect: There are provi sions in the act to which he must call atten tion. The Second section contains provi sion virtually in certain cases depriving the President of his Constitutional functions as Commander-in Chief of the army. The sixth section denies to States of the Union the Constitutional right to protect them .selves by means of their own militia. These provisions aro out of place in an appropri ation bill, lie is compelled to defeat necessary appropriations if ho withhold his signature, • and he thcreforo signs it with a protest against the provision named. The rules of tho last house were adopted, except during this week it shall be iu order to suspend them. Carried by 120 to 30. The House then adjourned. Miscellaneous. f Washington, March 4. All the great appropriations except tho deficiency bill, passed. The latter includes the pay of Southern Treasury Ageing, over which a big fight was made. The military appropriation bill, in volving tho disbandment of Southern militia, and placing the General Army in a great measure independent of tho Presi dent and the War Department, is not yet vetoed or signed. Both Houses adjourned at noon. The bankrupt, defioiency, aud army ap propriation bills, wanting ihe«President’s signature, failed to become laws. The Clerk is now organizing the new Congress. The Judiciary Committee reports that while imputing no improper motives to officers of tho Government, they are con strained to say that they did not exercise duo diligence in arresting Surratt. Washington, March 3 —P. M. The Senate passed tho bill adoptod by the House increasing the duty on wool, and it now goes to the President. The Indemnity bill passed and goes to the President. Auong other things it for bids civil courts, Federal, State, ami Terri toria’, from hearing prosecutious for acts done under proclamations or military or ders. The following ore the nays in the Senate on the Sherman bill: Buckalew, Cowan, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Hendricks, Nesmith’ Norton, Patersou, Saulsbury. Absent, Brown, Gutbric, McDougall, Riddle. The Legislative Appropriation bills were passed. A conference was asked on the naval ap propriations. The Compound Interest Note bill, as amended by the Senate, passed the House. Nebraska’s member participated in yes terday’s voting. Thomas, who ha3 been contesting Arnoll’s seat, was allowed wages and mileage since ho commenced the contest —sixteen hundred dollars. Arnell retains his seat. The new wool tariff is twelve cents a pound on the best grades, ten cents on low, and ton per cent, ad valorem . The following are the nays on Sherman’s Bill in the House : Ancona, Bergen, Boyer, Campbell, Chan ler, Cooper, Dawson, Denison, Eldridge, Frick, Glossbrenncr, Goodyear, Hale, Hard ing, of Kentucky, Harris, Hawkins, Ilogau, Ilubbill, of New York, Humphrey, Hunter, Junes, Kerr, Kuckendall, Lebond, Leftwich, Marshall, McCullough, Niblack, Nicholson, Noel, Phelps, Radford, Ritter, Rogers, Itos seau, Shanklin, Sicgreaves, Stillwell, Strous, Taber, Taylor, of Tennessee, Taylor, of N. Y., Thornton, Trimble, Ward, of Kentucky, and Winfield. The Tax Bill, as finally passed, fixes the Cotton tax at two and a half cents per pound. The Judiciary Committee reported im mediately after the Impeachment Commit tee instructed them. Ashley submitted facts supporting the charge. The Com mittee have worked without intermission. The investigation oovers broad ground, but has not approached a completion. The evidence was plaoed with the Clerk for the use of the Committee of the next Congress. Sufficient evidence has been gathered to justify and demand further investigation. Rogers submits a minority report, which says : There is no evidence sustaining the charges of hnpeaobment. They are utterly foundationless so far as all proof before the Committee is concerned ; and the Committee has been very industrious. Ho deprecates further investigations, as tending foolishly to excite the country. General Dt£ bat been confirmed Minister to Paris, and Hugh Ewing to tbe Hague. Tbo increased tariff on wool toofodei all Woolen f abrict. * 4 r * There is considerable excitement about tho misapprehension regarding the signing of hills. It appears that the officer was too modest to disturb tbe proceeedings of the House, and laid them gently on tbe table—the bankrupt bill along with the others. FROM ATLANTA. Tbe Atlanta. meeting. Atlanta, Marsh 4—P. M. A large public meeting, to consider the conditional the country, was held to-day. Resolutions approving tbo terms of Sher man's Bill, and the course recommended by Governor Brown, were rejected. The mooting then divided, and a minority hold a meeting to-night. A majority reor ganised, and passed resolutions, counselling quiet submission, and characterizing the Bill harsh and unjust, and approving the noble course of President Johnson. The Southern people should not barter man hood or honor by accepting the terms of the Bill. They recommend the Southern Governors to take steps to test the consti tutionality of the bill. Failure of an Insurance Com pany. Boston, March, 3. The Boston Equitable Life and Marino Insurance Company, of twonty eight years standing, has failed. FOREIGN HEWS. FROM MEXICO. Njsw York, March 3. The Herald's Mexican correspondence says Miramon recently stated that Hind man was corresponding with the Impe rialists, with the hope that the Empire and Confederacy might so work together as to make both successful. FROM THE WEST INDIES. New York, March 4. Havana advices to the 27th confirm the reported defeat of General Crapo, and his death at Maracaibo. The troubles in Carabello were about to be adjusted. Tho expedition to sound for the pro posed submarine telegraph cable, which started from Havana on the 22d, had re turned with a satisfactory report. The small pox continued to abate at Matanzas. Tho United States steamer Olinsa sailed for Santa Cruz on the 26th. The Winoo ski was to leave on the Ist for Key West. ~ THE MARKETS. Financial. New York, Mareh 4.
