Turtle soup. We are again indebted to our cour teous neighbor Wall, of the Office Saloon, on Ellis Street, opposite the Daily Press Office, for one of the deli cious lunches which are served at that establishment every Saturday night. The Turtle sonp was superb—the steaks were tender and juicy—the Soda water “and things " equal to the nectar which flowed from the fount of Helicon. 1 Heart Whinprr, { Or Echo,* of ,Soar.”~Froui tbe Harp of the South.

A list of subscribers has been fur nished me from abroad, and I will be truly grateful it my friends in this City will assist in swelling the list of sub scribers. Those who wish to do so, by giving their names aud post office address, will have them sent to the publisher, and the book will lie sent them upon receipt of price, as soon as it is issued. The Editor ot this paper will receive and furnish me with the names of those who wish to subscribe, Carrie Bell Sinclair, Augusta, Ga., May, 1867. Cotton Exporicd from 91. Orleans, The records kept by Collector Kel logg, at the New Orleans Custom House, show that the amount of cotton exported from the port of New Orleans to foreign countries during the period commencing August, 1866, and ending March 31st, 1867, is one hundred and sixty nine million nine hundred and ten thousand three hundred and seventy five pounds, valued at $51,445,914. spring Fever. Corry O'Lanus has experienced an attack of spring fever. He describes the symptoms as follows: Did you ever catch the spring fever ? It has caught me slightly, and l think of reporting myself to the Board of Health as a case tor quarantine. If they would send me somewhere for a week or two, where I would have nothing to do, and no board to pay, 1 think I should feel better. The symptoms of spring fever are a vigorous inclination to do nothing. You feel as though you could staud any quantity of repost. The spring fever is a had complaint when you haven't time to attend to it. Getting Alarmed. The Constitutionalist has been sued for libel by Dr. Sponsler, of this city, for stating that he had committed an out rage upon the person of a little girl, a few weeks ago, in which the Doctor was alluded to as a brute, &c. Dr. Sponsler was acquitted of the charge, and brings suit for $20,000 damages. Alluding to the case, that paper says: A Libel Suit. —Suit has been insti tuted in the Superior Court of this county against the publishers of the Constitu tionalist, by one Henry L. Sponsler, formerly (as we learn) a horse trader, and now a horse doctor, for damage done to his character and reputation, by the publication of the fact, that, the said Sponsler was arrested and commit ted to jail, on the sworn charge of having committed an outrage on the persou of a young girl, and for commenting there on as, from t*te statement made to us, we deemed proper. As public journalists we shall not evade the issue, aud will be fully prepared to meet the case, to the full extent of the law. We promise our readers something very racy in the pub lication of the testimony and speeches in full, which, we think, will afford also some rich side issues appertaining to parties who have been anxious to have this suit instituted. The idea of a “ horse trader,” or “ horse doctor,” having any character worth $20,000 no doubt appears very absurd to our neighbor. He will find our SSOO bonus very convenient in de‘ fending the suit. The public will look, no doubt, with interest for the “racy’> details of the trial. It will be very pro per matter for the local column of that paper, and will afford the contributors to that department, a brief respite from their labors. Circulation of Popular Songs. A recent statement from the house of Root & Cady, of Chicago, shows that the gongs mentioned below have attained the enormous issue respectively set down to them : “Kingdom Coming,” by Henry C. Work, 75,000; ‘'Battle Cry of Freedom,” in sheet form, 100,000; “Vacant Chair,” nearly 100,000 ; “Battle Cry of Freedom,” in book form 250,000 ; “.fust Before the Battle,” nearly 100,000 ; “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp.” 150,000 ; Weight, thirty three tons. The Price of Labor. A northern paper well observes that the price of labor will always be gov erned by laws which the State can neither alter or repeal. The Legislature cannot make ten inches a foot; nor two feet a yard, nor three quarts a gallon, nor seventy five cents a dollar; it may call them so, but calling won’t make them so. So it may call eight hours a day, but that won’t make them a day; it won’t secure a day's pay. Labor rises as everything else rises—from the same causes and in the same ratio. This is not a uew question by any means, and it is to be regretted that the same lesson has to he learned Over and over again iu regard to it. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. Hall or Auaurra Fir* Cos., No S, 1 Augusta, Ga., May 21, 1867. j At the Regular Meeting of tbe Hibernian Benevolent Society, held this evening, tbe following preamble and resolutions, pre sented by tbe Committee, were unanimously adopted : In the death of Patrick Grat, the Hi bernian Benevolent Society of Augusta mourns tbe loss of one of its most usefuj and valued members. From the first organ isation ot the Association, bis energies were given to the advancement of its objocts, aud zealously and intelligently belabored for its prosperity. Kind aud charitable in bis disposition, he was by nature well fitted for the work be took a pride and p’easure in doing, and we to-day feel that his loss has occasioned a void it will be no easy task to fill. In tbe mercantile community, Mr. Grat had no superior. His industry and ability formed a noble example for imitation. Honorable and just iu all his dealings, he acted upou the Golden Rule, and secured the success which such a course cannot fail to achieve. The brilliaut reputation which the merchants of Augusta have always maintained, nt home and abroad, never suffered iu him. Conscious of his position, he strove unceasingly to protect and promote the highest interests of all with whom he was connected, and his enterprising devotion will long be remembered. His integrity was unblemished—the purity of his principles was unquestioned. No man stood higher in the Society from which he has been so suddenly taken. No mau was ever bettor cutitlcd to the charac ter of a Christian gentleman. We, Ivis brethren bereaved as we are, feel a melan choly pleasure in bearing testimony to his worth, and wo shall always revere his mem ory. We beg leave to offer the following reso lution : Resolved, That the Hibernian Benevolent Society of Augusta sincerely lament the los ß which ihey have sustained in the death o* Patrick Gray, one of their most efficient and beloved brethren, and that they offer their most eo.rnest ccudoleuce to his affiicted relatives. Resolve l, That in the demise of such a man the whole community is bereaved ? for that is a public calamity which deprives the City of one of its most energetic and intelligent inhabitants. Besotted, That a copy of these proceed ings be signed by the President and Secre tary, and furnished the relatives of the deceased. Resolved, That a blank page in our Minute Book be dedicated to hia memory, and these preamble and resolution be pub lished in the City papers. Kobt. H. May, Chairman. Wm. Mulhkuin, Jas-Hkn ey, Alex.

The highest interests of the country are at stake. It is no common political campaign upon which we are entering. It is a fiery through which we must pass before we can emerge into the light of civil government and substantial peace. Let no man, in a spirit of disgust or indiffer ence, fail to avail himself of the right of suffrage. Such a course is an inci vism which is unpatriotic and pecu liarly culpable at this time. The Sureties. The list of sureties to the bond of Mr. Davis will astonish and greatly interest the nation. It will impress upon the public heart a moral of great value to the country. It is a surrender of preju dices and animosities in a spirit of good will and desire for the promotion of the general good. There were no two men in this nation further apart in politics than Mr. Davis and Mr. Greeley, yet there is a platform on which they can stand-side by side: that of humanity, charity, and patriotism. Though anti podes iu the late destructive war, they are now friends by the force of the sympathy of honest hearts and the best impulses of our natures. We are taught by this example the folly of allowing our prejudices to control our conduct and our opinions. If there was a man in the nation for whom the Southern people had a uni versal aversion, that man was Horace Greeley ; but we find that he is pos sessed of the centlest disposition and the kindest heart. The resentments ol Northern people have equally blinded them to the worth and virtue of Southern men, especially of Mr. Davis; when if they really knew and appreciated him there would not be a sentiment of bitterness toward him in the broad limits of the Northern section of the Union. These notable examples admonish us all in all sections to more liberality, to more charity in our judgments.— Rich. Dispatch. [communicated-j A War of Racei. A threat has been made that unless we all agree to be good “boys,” a war of races will take place, and the poor nigger is sure to “go tip the *pout.” The Radicals of the South look upon the extinction of one third of its popu lation as u foregone conclusion. Ne groes as freedwen cun't be endured. This Radical Southern idea is to threat en every man who does not agree; another is, that only white men com pose the Slate. The Congress of the nation, nnd the laws made by them, arc like a City Ordinance, subject to repeal at any moment. Such ideas should by the pence loving and law-abiding inhabitants be explained. This nation moves forward ; what is done, is done. Onward, upward are the watchwords. T esterday is with the past—to-morrow is what our eyes are set upon. A war of races! Who shall begin it? who shall end it? Georgians, white and black—l tell you, you need every son to maintain control of your State in the present state of affairs. You <?ao't spare a man. You will want the negroes to help you ; the negroes will want you to help them, so that together we may maintain control of the good old Empire State. Emigrants, like the locusts of Egypt, will begin to settle upon the land, and will soon rule it, if we are a divided people. Georgians ! face the facts—a brave people in battle can afford to come home when defeated, and with a free, open heart, tell his former slave—“ boys, the war has made us fellow citizens—here is my hand, take it, and as man and man we will pray together—thy God is my God—thy people my people. We have but one destiny—during the years of plenty we rejoice; in that of scarcity we weep—my former slave, my now fellow citizen, let us forgot the pastby so doing there will be no use to speak about a war of races, but let God so move our hearts that we will love and respect each other from beginning to end. A Native Colored Man. Tbe llight of Negroes to enter the Theatre*. The following correspondence appears in the New Orleans papers: Mayoralty of New Orleans, j City Hall, May 14, 1807. J Henry /). Oydeu, City Attorney: Sir: I have the honor to request your opinion relative to the right of coffee houses, restaurants, theatres, etc., ma nagers of public halls, etc., to refuse the sellitur of their merchandise, or admit tance into iheir establishments, to any portion or portions of citizens. Very respectfully, your ob't serv’t, E. Heath, Mayor. In answer to the Mayor’s communi cation, Judge Ogden replies, after acknowledging the receipt of the same, as follows: I have the honor to submit that I entertain no doubt of the legal right of the above enumerated, either to refuse the selling or admittance to any portion or portions of citizens or inhabitants. In accordance with this opinion the Mayor, who was appointed by GeueraL Sheridan, issued a proclamation, war ning all persons against attempts to en . force their supposed rights by violence. Fliolof rapU ot a l.ulter-duy Fire tutor. “Mack,” the racy correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, draws the lollowing admirable picture of a latter day fire-eater. He says he he has found, in his travels, but one who served for the original of the sketch ; but we think its counterpart might be found almost anywhere iu the South : In my travels through the South thus far, I have met but one man whom I cousider still a rebel. He was a native of South Carolina—an old gen-, tleman, who had kept himself and his sons out of the army while the fight lasted, and is still, as he said, “as much of a rebel us ever.” Inasmuch as he did no fighting, if he will only agree not to be any more of a rebel in the future than he has been iu the past, he will not do much harm to the country. He talked of teaching his grandchildren to hate the Yankees, and plainly tcid me he should curse the flag of the Union with his dying breath. I re plied that be ought to keep his dying breath for a better purpose, as the llag of the Union wouldn’t care a cent for his last curse, and asked him why he didn’t work some of the bile ot his stomach by shooting at the flag if he had such hard feelings against it. Well, he said, he dtdu't know. He always felt like going into war, and yet he never went. But, if it was to occur again, he would be sure to go; and, once in, he never would surrender. After a while the old gentleman went away from where he had been talking, and I asked a bystander if he knew him. Yes, he did ; he knew him as a man who would t even join the home guards while the war lasted, and who tried to get his sons through the blockade to Europe, to keep them from conscription. He had never done, anything for the South during the "Svnr, except to get a beef contract iu New Orleans, out of which he made $25,000 in gold ; and he never was an out and out fighting man until he heard of the surrender. My informant had been iu the rebel army through the entire war ; had been an original secessionist and rebel; had been in the company on Morris Island that first opened on Sumter, but was now, he said, a Union man, and in favor of reconstructing under the Military Law. Alluding to the South Carolinian, be said, such men had kept' the South in trouble ever since the war dosed. You couldn’t make them fight while there was fighting to he done ; and now, when it was all over, yon couid hardly keep them from it. —A suit has been commenced against ex-General G. J. Pillow, in Memphis, to recover the value of goods seized by him while in the capacity of a Confederate officer. The point it! dispute is whether the authorities under which he acted were or were not bona fide belligerents. The case will go to the Supreme Court. The Rome Courier says that as a general thing wheat looks finely, through fly and rust, in some localities, have injured it. The cold, wet weather has been unfavorable to corn and death to cotton. Some planters are plowing up cotlou (a good idea) and planting corn. Bg Cclcgrapl). FROM WASHINGTON. lUi*c»lluneon«. Washington, May 25—P. M.

AUGUSTA, ga., Saturday Noon, ) May 26,1867. \ Tt should be borne in mind that our quo tations represent wholesale prices. Small bills, to Planters and others, are filled at a shade higher rates. rkm arks. Tbe week under ravlew baa bean dull, prices of moat leading articles remaining steady and un changed. There has been a slight decline in Corn, and Flour exhibits a weakening tendency. Tbe weather has been cool during most of the week, and unfavorable for Cotton. We hear of many planters who are so dissatisfied with their Stands that they are ploughing up large portions of their cotton, and planting corn. Wheat is doing well—the weather most unfavorable for cotton be ing the surest protection against rust, and ir, an other week planters in this vicinity will commence harvesting. Reports from all portions of this fitate and South Carolina, and indeed from the wheat growing States generally, are most favorable, and justify the expectation of the largest crop ever made in thL country. The Cotton market has been rather dull during the week, and prices have declined fully one cent. There lias been considerable anxiety here on ac count of tbe failure of Messrs Frazer, Trenholm & Cos , in Liverpool, whose liabilities, stated at £o,~ 000,000, involve some of our leading buyers. Tbe extent to which any of them will suffer has not transpired, but general confidence 1a expressed in the integrity of that reputable firm, aud in their abil.ty to protect their friends on this aide from any farther loss than that involved in the decline in cotton, which must be serious. live receipts show a further fulling off, being, for the lust week, at all the ports, according to our mail-dates, 16,176 bales. Total receipts since September, 1,706,632 bales. Stock on hand, 290,- 076 bales Stock on hand in Liverpool on the 17th, 774,000 bales, of which 439,000 were Amenican. FINANCIAL.
