Wagner’s Minstrels To-Night.
Happy Cal Wagner, the famed min
strel, and a first-class troupe, which
has fully sustained its pa3t prestige,
with the indefatigable leader, judging
from the favorable press notices heap
ed upon them, will appear at Gfrardey’s
Opera House, to-night.
An agreeable entertainment is offered
and, as on former visits here, we have
no doubt that Cal Wagner will be
greeted with a full house. The min
strelsy of the past has been improved
on, and the objectionable feaWires,
such as common jokes, too familiar
hits, etc., have been eliminated, and, to
use a mercantile phrase, their audi
ences are of a much higher grade than
formerly.

The Race Postponed Until ToDay.
The match race between Basil Duke
and Lady Patterson (trotting to har
ness, mile heats, best 3 in 5 for $1,000),
which was to have taken place at La
fayette Race Course yesterday after
noon, was postponed until 3p. m. to
day, on account of the rain in the
morning, which caused a rather heavy
track.
There was a considerable number of
persons on the ground to witness the
proposed race, and great interest
appeared to be manifested in the
result. There were no pools sold at
the track. The sale will commence an
hour previous to the race to-day on
the ground. At the sale of pools at
the Globe Hotel last night, Basil Duke
appeared to be the favorite.
Sad Postponement of a Wedding.
The Savannah News, of yesterday,
says: “ Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Tlios.
H. Fisher, a carpenter, residing on
Montgomery street, was taken sudden
ly ill, and died within an hour or so,
notwithstanding prompt medical at
tention was rendered. Wo are inform
ed that a son of Mr. Fisher was to
have been married last night to a
young lady of this city, and the prepa
rations for that event were all com
pleted. This sudden affliction necessi
tates a postponement of the ceremony,
and in a twinkling of an eye hearts
thrilling with joyous expectancy are
crushed with grief and sadness. At
the request of Dr. Smith, the attend
ant physician, a post mortem examina
tion will be held by the Coroner.”
Mr. Fisher w r as formerly a citizen of
Richmond county, and for a long time
keeper of the Toll Gate of the Sum
merville Plank Road. He is well known
in this city, where he has many friends.
The bod>’ reached Augusta yesterday
afternoon from Savaunah, and the
funeral will take place at 10 o’clock
this morning, from the residence at the
Toll Gate.

Col. J ones gets a salary of $2,000 per

while the Port Royal Railroad route,

A Deserved Compliment.
The Musical Monthly of Ludden &
Bates, published at Savannah, has a
short letter from Augusta, dated
January 20th, which speaks in compli
mentary terms of the singing of several
well-.known young gentlemen in this
city. We copy the letter, after taking
the liberty of making a few necessary
corrections in the names, etc. The
writer is mistaken in saying that this
is the only organization of the kind in
the city, as we have others who sing
remarkably well.
At a reeent Odd Fellows’ celebration
your correspondent had the pleasure
of hearing a Quartet Club, whose sing
ing was certainly creditable for ama
teurs. It is the only organization of
the kind in Augusta, and is composed
of the following named gentleman, viz:
J. McCarty, A. P. Boyle, C. T. Smith,
G. Fargo/
They organized themselves merely
for their own amusement, and by the
aid of good instruction and practice,
they have made good attainment in
the art of singing. Their selections are
of a high order, and admirably render
ed, reflecting great credit upon one of
them specially, Mr. C. T. Smith, who
has been their instructor. He is a
young gentleman of rare musical tal
ent, and well-know in Augusta and vi
cinity as a guitarist of more than usual
ability.

Hush !
The address of the Democratic Con
gressmen of the South and Southwest,
to the people of the Southern States,
means simply this : You are injuring
the party and spoiling it chances by
your goings on. You should recollect
that we have not yet got the control.
The Executive and Senate are in the
bands of the Republicans. While that
is the case, we, when we come into
possession of the House, can do noth
ing but mischief, and this will react
upon us in the elections. We must be
have ourselves till the Presidential
election. If we elect the President,
then we may let ourselves out.
But you mar all by starting in now,
as if we were already in power. If you
go on with your murders and massa
cres of the colored people, and your
carrying of elections by terror, and put
ting out elected officers by armed mobs,
and your White League revolutions,
you will knock our chances of carry
ing the Presidential election higher
than Sam Wilkinson’s venture in Beech
er’s Life of Christ. We must dissem
ble, and profess a regard for the rights
of the black people, and pretend to keep
our labor contracts with them.
There may be a good time coming,
when we can let ourselves out; but it
is not yet. Remember that the South
is the minority section, and that
Northern Democrats are timid, and
that if the South shall frighten them so
as to make the North a unit, the South
will have no chance. We therefore en
treat you to dissemble in your behavior,
and to profess friendly sentiments,
until we get the control of the Adminis
tration. If you go on at the rate you
are going, we may set down our chances
as having culminated. This is the
opinion of all the Northern Democratic
members.

ing easy, and is economical. Try it.

THE EVIDENCE presented In the statements or tho respectable and intelligent plant
!Ne^!T?i!,Jr,SSo^.,rl?T<SSlSties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
ir.L) CHEMICAL FEUIILIZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any in the
market; that being composod of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid,
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable xeturn, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets tor this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet tho coedition of the two great classes of
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our G. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
