THE WEEKLY OOHSTITHTIOHALIST Toe Pbinteus’ Pic-Nic.—The members bf Che craft and a larjje number of invited guests, making in the aggregate a company of about three hundred, passed the “Fourth” at Ber zclia. The train (which tjas furnished by the liberal Superintendent of the Georgia Railroad at a nomiu il price) arrived at the station early in the forenoon, and but a short time elapsed ere merry feet were dancing “ to the sweet sounds of music ” and crowds of lookers-on enjoying the poetry of motion as manifested, or, possibly more correctlj', perfi-lcstcd, on the spacious platform erected by Messrs. Merry & Cos., pro prietors of this elegant summer resort. At the proper time the craft were called off for refreshments, when Innumerable baskets were emptied of their contents, which, in mat ter and form, were like a job printer’s adver tisement, plain and ornamental. Solid columns of viands appeared as if chasing its component parts up and dowu the table —fat takes of sand wiches were openly spaced, yet justifying the idea of profusion—tempting cases of pickles and stands of delicious jellies were wt-11 dis tributed, and a sufficiency of pie, which the shrewd little devils said fell to them, all made a good impression, and no one could fail to be suited unless he or she were “out of sorts.” It was au imposing sight when scores of that loveliest type of creation woman ranged their well made up forms around the table. Like Eve, they “ did eat,” and we did follow copy like Adam— id eat— we began feeding the press. Dinner over, Mr. H. F. Rees, the Orator of the Day, wag introduced by Mr. Ashby. Mr. Reese delivered a brief, yet well considered oration, containing much food for thought on the part of the profession. I’hen followed the reading of the regular toasts: 1. The Printer Hard worked and little thanked. ”• Printers' Unions— Holy alliances for beni fleent purposes. 3. The Press, Free and Untrammelled—With out it freedom is a mockery, liberty but ano ther name for oppression. 4. The Editorial Fraternity — Faithful ser vants to an exacting public. 4. The Daily Papers of Augusta —Dignified in tone and temper, May their battle w ith in justice never cease until the South is fully re stored to her rights. 6. Woman—Rule of our infancy; guide of our childhood; measure of our youth; phat take of our manhood ; star of our hope ; pearl of our middle age ; she corrects the last stick; smoothes the last sheet, and gives the last em brace ere we frisket to the skies. 7. Man—Pi in infancy ; errata in childhood ; a briar in youth ; imperfect copy in manhood ; a proof , though oft corrected , needs revising. The first was responded to by Mr. J. M. Wcigle, The second was briefly acknowledged by Mr. Asliby, Vice President of the Uuiou.— Our friend Waish of the Chronicle not being present, thero was no response to the third. To me tourlh we had been requested to respond, but, fortunately for the company, we were tem poral •fly absent, having consented to aid our Mr. Stockton in keeping guard over the ex editor of the Southern Cultivator —D. Redmond, Esq., who had been enticed iuto the Lyon’s den by MeL., of Peruvian and Raw Bone celebrity. We deprived the party, however, the pleasure of listening to a response to the fifth sentiment from Mr. Stockton, who had been assigned that position. Mr. M. M. Hill spoke to the sixth, in poetic strains. To the seventh, Mr. J. F. Thompson was called on to respond. He de clined, as it was not his take, and, moreover, the subject was exhausted. The dancing was then resumed and contin ued until dark, when the whistle souuded and the excursionists started home, all satistied with the day’s enjoymeut. Berzeiia presents many attractions tor excur sion parties, and the Mess’-s. Merry & Cos. are uutiring in their efforts to contribute to the pleasure of visitors. The craft hold them in grateful remembrance aud hope to meet there again. We omitted to mention that just before the departure of the train from Berzeiia, quite a number of cylindrical glass packages (a pres ent from James A. Gray, Esq.,) were opened and the contents distributed among the ladies ; but as the package* were branded “ Mumm,” we suppose mum is the word for us on this subject. Who is He ?—As it fs in the bailiwick of our good friends of the Constitutionalist, says the Macon Journal $ Messenger , we would like to have them inform us who is meant in the fol lowing extract flora a recent letter to the New York Times. The writer is speaking oi the difficulty experienced iugetting competent meu to act as registers. The pr’ncipal reason we have for wishing to know this individual’s name, is that we may place it at the service of those who are almost persuaded they can take the test oath, but still hang back. A gentleman with such antece dents could, we are certain, furnish a recipe to all how to swallow the dose without even winking. “A few have accepted the appointment and taken the oath who were notorious rebels, aud one of these, as late as the mouth of February, 186$, is said to have urgi ntly appealed to the Confederate War Department at Richmond for authority to raise a regiment of negroes iu Oglethorpe county, and requested the late Chief Justice to aid him iu obtaiuiug the requisite credentials.” Auswer —There is no “ gentleman with such antecedents” in this city. We have not the re motest idea who the aspirant to the colonelcy of the negro regiment is. We have a few “hard swearers” “known to fame,” and they are enough. Cabinet Organs.— These beautiful instru ments, which have become so popular with the musical public, are made only by Mason & Hamlin, and are for superior to any other instrument iu the world. They are all excel lent parlor instruments, aud the low price at which they are 60ld brings them within the reach of all.— Cleveland Daily Leader. Register in Bankruptcy.— We are gratified to learn, says the Madison News, that A. G. Foster, Esq., has been appointed Registrar in Bankruptcy for this District. Mr. Foster is well known throughout ibis section, and by nearly every man in the country, as a gentleman of high standing and a lawyer of acknowledged ability. He is in every respect eminently quali fied to fill the important position he has been called to, and his friends congratnlate him upon his appointment. We presume the Bankrupt Court will soon be opened, though we are not advised as to the exact time. Cotton Boll. —We have received from the plantation of Mr. Jas. C Lark, in Baker county, Ga., a cotton boll. It was plucked ou the 23d ult. Iu a uote accompanying the boll, Mr. L. writes encouragingly of the crop prospects, and remarks the faithful working of the freed* men.. * Commencement Exercise* o> Emory College, Oxtord, Ga— The following is the programme: Commencement Sermou on Sunday, 14th July, by Rev. E. 11. Myers, D. D., of the Geor gia Conference. Annual Session of the Board of Trustees, on Monday, 15th of July, at 9, a. ra. Prize Declamation, Monday night, S, p m. Junior Exhibition, Tuesday, July 16th, be gining at 9, a. m., and followed by the presen tation of prizes and an address by Alumni Address, Tuesday, 4, p. m., by An drew J. Bmitb, Esq., of Newnah, Ga. Senior Exhibition, Wednesday, July 17th, at 9, a. m. Degrees conferred and Baccalaureate Ad- i dress, by the President of the College. Annual Literary Address to the Few and Phi Gamma Societies, at 4}£, p. m.. by Gen. J. B. Gordon. Precautions Against Cholera.— Let fresh air and sunlight purify every place they can reach. Open and dry all cellars and vaults, and keep (lie grounds and surfaces about dwellings as dry and clean as possible. Use fresh lime freely upon wet or offensive surfaces. Let do mestic and personal cleanliness be everywhere observed. There are no substitutes for fresh air and water. Let the “ house cleaning ” be more thorough this season than ever before. These precautions are always timely and bene ficial. If pestilence should revisit us, they will help materially to restrain its ravages ; and if it should not, they will at all events promote the general health of our people, and, making us more cleanly, perchance may tend to make us somewhat more godly. • Relics Wanted. —As many of our citizens have in their possession relics of coins, paper money, and other valuables more appropriate for deposit in corner stones of temples, we have been requested to state by Mr. Gerstmann, Rabbi of the Bnai Berith-Jaeob Congregation, says the Savannah News & Herald, that such relics will be thankfully received by his con gregation for deposit in the corner stone of their new synagogue, which will be laid on Tuesday, the 15th instant. Murder at Contek’s Station.— The At lanta Opinion learns from a passenger on the up train that a fatal rencontre occurred at Conyer’s about 2, p. m., on .the Fourth. Two men, named Pressnel and Lester, quarreled at a bar room, separated, met again outside of the bar, when Pressnel drew a knife and inflicted three or four stabs upon Lester, who died in stantly. They were neighbors, living three miles from Couyer’s. Pressnel fled, and had not been afrested. —Atlanta Opinion. Ouu New Type.—ln order to gratify a num ber of our old subscribers and elder readers we have procured a font of large type for the Constitutionalist, hoping that, ere another anniversary, they may be able to read their titles clear, in these columns, to a government worthy the memory of the meu who made this day memorable. Pardons No Use.—Au Old array officer has been informed by General Pope that no one can register unless he can take the required oath. - - i> A High Tribute to the Character of General Lee. In a long editorial artie’e calling for the do nation of £IO,OOO to Washington College, by the friends and admirers of General Lee in England, the London Standard of August 17th speaks of him as follows: There is no living hero—there are none, it any. whose name shiiies with the purest lustre in history—whose character has commanded so high a tribute of affection and admiration from their friends, of respect and honor from their foes, as that of General Lee. No life more perfectly heroic, no reputation more untarnish ed even by the. minor blemishes which arc not uncommonly found in union with the highest heroism, has ever been connected with a great national struggle. No 6hade of vanit}* or ego tism, nothing of the self-will or petulence so often characteristic of conscious genius, no tinge of affectation, no taint even of the pride almost inseparable from ordinary greatness of mind, which can endure everything but humili ation, and regards’ submission as disgrace, al loy the simple grandeur of the Virginian sol dier’s nature. A piety without the slightest shadow of Pharisaism, a sense of duty to which the sacri flee of every personal feeling and interest ap pears a matter of course, have marked his whole course and guided his every public act, whether as a soldier or as a cilizeu. A family connection and the nearest living representa tive of the great champion of American inde pendence, General Lee has been the Washing ton of the Confederate war; like Washington, a man “ whom envy did not liate,” but with out even the one dark stain of doubt, it not of dishonor, which the death of Major Andre has left on the memory ot his prototype. No more “ selflless mau and stainless geutleman” ever lived ; no soldier ever set a more admira ble ernnple of the soldierlj* virtues of honor, chivalric generosity, aud manly simplicity; no great mau ever retired into obscurity, after wit nessing alike the ruin of his cause and the destruction of his private fortune, with more oUChristian patience and unshaken fortitude. Os his military achievements we need not speak. It is enough to say that nearly all bis victories were won against enormous odds, and that his four years’Tiefense of Virginia has lew parallels in history as an example of great re sults accomplished with small means and a fearful disadvantage. What is now more interesting to remember is the personal character of the man, as dis played in the various exigencies of that trying struggle; the simple honesty and kindly feel ing which prompted him to console his sol diers as they recoiled from the cannon-crowned heights of Gettysburg, with the assurance, “It is all my faultand unaffected self-deprecia tion which pronounced, when Stonewall Jack son fell, “I could wish, for the sake of onr cause, that I had been disabled rather than you;” the Christian chivalry, which no out rage could provoke to retaliation ; which, after Virgiuia had been rendered a desert, withheld the army that invaded Pennsylvania from in flicting the most trivial injury on person or property; which, when his own estates had been plundered, ravaged and confiscated, took care to protect the houses and property of his enemies; the horror of useless bloodshed which withstood the cry of retribution excited by the murder of Southern prisoners in cold blood, and supported the resolve of the Presi dent that unless the actual murderers were taken, no blood should be 6hed bat on the field of battle; the tonching unselfishness of his last words to his disbanding, army, on the Sorrow- All 9th of April, “ I have done my best for yon.” Bat it was when all was over—when the chief of a great and long victorious army was a private man and a paroled prisoner—that the peculiar greatness of General Lee’s nature shines out with unequaled brightness. Hymeneal. —We find the following in a Bos ton paper: Married, on the 28th June, at the Episcopal residence, by the Rev, Father Bapst, 8. J., Hon. Linton Stephens, of Georgia, to Miss Mary W., daughter of R. H. Salter, M. D., of Boston. More “ T ” Rails.— The Tesmania, drawing 21 feet, and groaning under her enormons bur den of 6,600 tons of rails for onr railroad, is lying just outside the bar. —Brumwick Courier. AUGUSTA MARKET. Reported for the Constitutionalist. Acgpsta, Ga., Satnrdav Noon. ) July 6th, 1867. \ JS. Since ■our last report there has been a slight revival ! of trade in all departments of business, save, perhaps, j in cotton, which has been fitful; but closes to-day with j a decline of at least lc. from quotations of the 29th uIL The Liverpool market is depressed in a great measure ! on account of the belief ip a very large crop for the J current year, in America, to say nothing of the pro- j spoets elsewhere. Our Liverpool telegram yesterday, announced the sales of the week, 50,000, whereof 13,000 were for ex port and speculation; stock, 738,000 ; 386,000 are American. Owing to the holiday we are without our domestic statement of exports, receipts and stocks on baud, ex cept as to New Orleans; which reports, receipts for the 1 week, 2,156; exports for the week, 7,954 bales ; stock t 56,107 bales. On Saturday last, in our market, 145 bales were sold: j the receipts were only 3 bales. Monday.—The sales were 58 bales and the receipts, 28 bales. Tuesday.—Sales 192, and receipts 2 bales. Wednesday bales were sold and 3 received. Thursday. -The fourth—nothing was done. Friday.—One hnndred and twelve bales were sold’ and none received. Total sales of the week, 515. Total receipts, 36 bales. The market is heavy at the following quotations : Strict to good middling, 23® 25 Middling, 22@23 Low middlings, 20* @2l Good ordinary, 21@22 Ordinary, nominal. Red ana stained, nominal. Groceries.—There is no change, except iu bread stuffs. By reference to our quotations it will be seen there is a decline of SI.OO per barrel on flour, and ad vance in meal of s@lo cents, consequent upon the demand for corn. Corn is quoted up at least 10 cents. Receipts have been very light for the week, and the demand cannot be supplied. Dry Good are a little more active. Domestics are firm at unchanged quotations and the demand is very good. Os the dry goods market, in New York, a circular remarks under date of the second: The dry goods market is rather more encouraging to-day to all holders of goods. The recent accounts of damage to crops has proved much exaggerated, and they are now considered safe beyond any possible con tingency. Stocks in the country arc believed to he small, as well as light in the hands of agents and job bers, and prices are consequently firmly held. No new styles of goods are yet offered, hut fall styles of prints will he on the market in a few days, mean while a fair business is doing by order and for the home trade. Woolen goods show r an improving tone. Foreign goods are dull and the business is quite un imporant, although importers seem to be expecting an early opening of fall trade. FINANCIAL. Our city has been unchanged and quiet during the past week, hut little money seeking investments, and, hut little doing in bonds and stocks. Sales of Georgia Railroad stock during the week at 72 cents : Old State Six per cent bonds, at 70@72; New State Seven per cent, bonds, at 81; Macon & Augusta Railroad bonds, guaranteed by the Georgia Railroad and Charleston Railroad, at 87, except coupons of July. Gold and Silver.— Gold has improved during the week, and Brokers selling 138*, and paying 137*. Silver unchanged, buying at 128 and selling at 132. Exchange.— The National Bank checks freely at par on all Northern cities, and out door rates, * to % off.—No time bills offering. Latest Quotations for Uncurrent Monies and Securities. GEORGIA.

Cotton Statement from Norton, Slaughter & Co.’s Monthly Circular. New Yokk, July 1, 1567. Cotton— There has been but little fluctuation in prices during the month. *ln our Inst circu lat we expressed the belief that some improve ment in prices might gradually ensue during the summer, but the time for such improvement has not yet arrived. We based our belief on the facts then stated, showing that the pros* peets of another crop were, not encouraging.— Since theu we have from time to time received, more favorable advices from the cotton States.* Reduced to the necessity of renewed efforts to meet the moneyed exigencies of the next fall and winter, and fortified by the very flattering promise of an abundaut grain harvest in the Middle and Southern States, the cotton plant ers have put forth fresh energy towards the care and cultivation of the great staple. The recent gentle rains which have prevailed in the cotton States have been most beneficial to the young plants, and given the planters an excel lent stand generally thougbont the South. With codtinued favorable seasons,there is no reason to doubt that the crop of 1867 will be a more libe ral one than was anticipated a month ago. Un der the weight of large 6tocks in Liverpool and these favorable accounts from America together with the generally dull trade at Man chester, the English markets have, like ours, reraaiued very qniet and easy all the month, and have slightly but gradually receded from the opening rates. The spinners of the conn try have maintained a marked indiffereuce in regard to purchasing for the same reason, and this demand has been farther curtailed by the suspension of active by many of the cotton mills of the North. This, of itself, would have more seriously depressed our mar ket, but for the inducements offered to ship pers by a strong and steady foreign exchange market all the month, a sound and even gold market, and the fair rates of outward freights. Os these advantages they have freely availed themselves, and exports have been liberal all the* month at a small visible margin. The re ceipts at American ports have continued to de crease gradually, but this has had little or no effect on prices, in view of the better prospects of another crop. Our stocks are also some what reduced since last, but as a large pro portion of these is of low grade and in light demand, it has been impossible to maintain the opening prices of the month. There is still a possibility that prices may im prove to 6ome extent during the summer, but the probabilities are not, iu our opinion, suffi ciently strong to justify holders in relusing ruling prices. The long period which must in tervene before the gathering of the present year’s crop, during which many evils may be fall the plaut, is too uncertain to be relied on even among the most hopeful; and no doubt (as has ever been and ever will be the case), reports of real or imaginary calamities will be often circulated betweeu this and the gathering season, tending to “short crop” estimates. This may have the desirable effect alluded to above ; but oq the other hapd, yet more favor able reports as to the crop prospects may have the contrary effect.

Prices have ruled strong *and without change until the past few days, during which a slight weakness has been manifested— the closing quotations showing a slight decline. The home trade has been comparatively light, as was the case in May, and manufacturers have been rather sparing in their purchases. Since onr last report accounts from the West have been more favorable as regards the planting, especially in Kentucky, Tennessee and Vir ginia, while reports from Missouri are not so enepnraging. For a few days, about the mid dle of the month, this favorable news induced a more quiet market, but priees ruled firm and fall until near the close. Receipts are becom ing large, and stocks are accumulating, not withstanding the liberal shipments, especially of lags and non-descript leaf. The prices of Clarksville shipping and good Regie leaf are better maintained than for the lower descrip tions. Receipts for the month foot np 16,734 hhds., against 8,531 for the same month last year.

The exports for the month have been about 11,000 hhds., principally to Germany, England and Italy, the latter country taking over 2 000 hhds., while about 1,000 hhds, have gone to the North of Europe, and some small lots to France, Spain and Africa. It will be noted by reference to our last circular, that the exports of June exceed those of May by nearly 4 000 hhds., which is owing to the increased demand from the German Slates. The actual sales for the month itelnde about 5,500 hhds. of all descriptions. The present stocks in New York and Brook lyn, according to inspection ret or ns are 26 815 hhds. ’ ’ Receipts at New Orleans, from January Ist to June 22d, were 6,465 hhds., and for same period in 1866, 9,619 hhds., showing a consid erable decrease from last year.
