Turtle soup.
We are again indebted to our cour

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.

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.

Register and Vote.
Now that the machinery of registra
tion is being set in motion, we deem it
our duty to urge every citizen who can
do so, to register. 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.

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.

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.

AUGUST A^MARKET.
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,-
