THE ADVERTISER. Terms, 93,00 per Annum. Friends and News from Further Westward. People always like to'hear about crops -to say notting of old friends! Mrs. Capt? CARTEK, formerly Miss HENRIET TA TOMPKrrNs, has lately arrived in our midst, from her home in Bossier Parish, La., and gives a very gloomy account of the crops in that rich and fertile re gion. It seems that . us and over flows from Red River and the bayous have been so repeated and so disastrous as to leave the planters of Bossier and the adjoining Parishes no hope of paying j crops. And from Americus, tho metropolis of J South West Georgia, comes our old friend, ALLEN ADDISON, Esq., who also represents- the crops, both cotton and corn, of his section of country, as being almost unprecedentedly poor and un promising. Both these friends from the West do not hesitate to say that the crops in Edgefield, so far as they have seen, are superior to any, which in the coar.se of their journeys, have come under their observation. r Scenes of Aliss. Butler's School. >T . The exercises of Miss" BUTLER'S popu lar and first-class School closed on Fri day evening last, for this summer, with a Musical and Dramatic Entertainment, wlde^ besides bejug, decidedly brilliant,, wa? truly creditable and interesting. Tho Haltof .iho'Institnte was crowded with the largest audience ever assembled there ; brilliantly dressed ladies bedecked the benches is like jewels upon the neck of beauty; and tho weather, as if God smiled upon the innocent and appropri ate enjoyments, of the young, cast her enchantments of beaming moon and pleasant breezes over thc scene. A t b;Uf past 8 o'clock tho curtain roso upon ihe stage, disclosing lumagnifiecnt new, 7i octave Piano, from the famous Southern manufactory of Stieff, in Balti more. And apropos, this is the sixtli or seventh instrument of this maker re cently brought to our town and its vicini ty; and., steadily tho .demand for them ncreases. And no wonder, for in even possible resp jct they arc instruments or thc very first class. But to return to the exhibition. It consisted of three Plays, each preceded by three or four brilliant pieces on thc Piano, performed by the fair pupils of the School, and in a man ncr which gave evidence of careful and ?consci-mtious teaching. The Plays were, first, Mrs. Willis's Will," apetite one-act comedy, at once bright, sparkling uad innocent. Second. *. My Neighbor's Wife," a regular stage iarce, of thc-moro 'genteel kind. And third, "The Omnibus," of that style commonly called a "screaming farce." Each one was capitally plaj'cd-with de cided humor, intelligence and grace. We have not- timB to mention " names. And indeed v^at^^ouM be tlf? usc," for was not the "who] p world (of Jidgefield) there, looking and-langhing for itself?

E?gefield Negroes Quiet and Un demonstrative. This, Tuesday, is the 4th of July; alul j while the colored people iu a great many fifteen are having tremendous glorifica tions, those of Edgefield arc either too &exisXbi*i or too poor to follow suit. Our (town is as quiet as on any other day in the year. Indeed it is wonderful how calm and peaceable Edgefield is in these days. Since the hour when we were de livered from State Constables and negro militia, our community has been in pro found peace and order. in Aiken, as we read, the negroes are ma&ng a brilliant patriotic splurge. The mili.tf*. Company of Aiken is to be joined by a company Crom 1 lam I* uri; and two from Augnjrta. There is to be also a band of music. The Declaration of In dependence is to bc read by J.. Green "Esq., -while the oration is to be delivered by "Joseph Quash, Esq., !" Where They Came From; Seeing a gentleman and lady thc other day, accompanied by their littic boy and little girl, all of them very beautifully and stylishly dressed, we queried them as to where tiieir fashionable dry goods came from: And with a*great deal cf enthusiasm, as regards the fullness of Ids assortment, Iiis cheapness,his courte sy, tte., they replied unheitatingly: *' From BALK'S-II.

There is no /lout* about thc Georgia Cotton Press ?laving, within the past year, achieved wonderful popularity. The Colored Schools. In <mr town ?arc two colored schools, fiS/o one cuygkt' by RoH-rt tireen, at thc school-house in r?ar of Mr. BRYAN'S res idence, tho other by Laurence Cain, at'| his own house.

A correspondent from Columbia in forms the Charleston News that the ac counts of the Treasurer and Auditor of Edgefield county are in a precious intui dle, and that Mr. Frank Howard, late restaurant' keeper in Charleston, has been sent from Columbia to investigate them. Rumor hath it that several cleri cal errors, showing iaults in addition to a large amount, have already-been found. Friends of the parties, in Columbia, as sert that the complications are altogethe; the result of incompetency on the .part of one or both of the parties to keep ac counts, such as are required in so com plicated a system of collecting .and re turning taxes. Others smile incredulous ly at any such version of the affair. The Best Cotton Crop in thc Cotton States. Our distinguished fellow-citizen Gen M. W, GARY has just returned from a trip to Galveston, Texas, and up the Mis sissippi Rivet, in the interest of his grand Land and Immigration Scheme, and tells us-Vvery sincerely and with a degree of District pride that wc were pleased to note-that the present Cotton Crop of Edgefield District is equal, and in some respects superior to any that fell under his observation in the several States through which he travelled. This boars us out in what we have always contend ed that Edgefield District, taking it with all its advantages and disadvantages, i tho garden spot of America. Well, it being established through tho indisputa ble authority of Cern. GABY that the Cot ton Crop of Edgefield at this timo is the finest in thc Cotton States, wc have but little hesitation (relying on the opinion of others and our own judgment) in pro claiming that the Cotton Crop, taken as whole; of our wide-awake and- popular townsman, Capt. F. L. 3?ITK, lying one mile North of this town, cannot ITO equal ed in Edgefield. We had hoard so much concerning Capt. S's. crop that we felt impelled to take a look at it, which we did a few days back, and found it really magnificent-in thc finest growing con dition, not a sprig of grass visible, the soil light and mellow, tho plants aver aging near waste high over the entire field, and thickly set with blooms and square*. Farmer SMITH, with tho able and energetic assistance of his "right bower,'' George Simians, certainly un derstands the art of planting and cultiva ting cotton. And wo cordially congratu late the Captain upon the high agricultu ral feat achieved, and his ' splendid pros peet of so handsome a yield of the fleecy staple in the early fall.

YK HAMBURG MELISH.-From thobest authority, (says the Chronicle & Sentinel) wo learn tjmt important reform with re gard to the.:colored militia of Hamburg ?nus taken place. It has been decided that thc usual light and graceful uniform ol x paper collar and ? pair of spurs will not do for the present season, pu account >f thu increased number of mosquitoes, md pants and coats have been adopted.

Tht- Augusta Constitutionalist, of Saturday, says j " Yesterday morning ill', J?eijj. John son of the police force, stationed 'in the new district, attempted to arrest John Hetfcrmnn, the proprietor of a small gro cery on tlie corner ol' South Boundary and thu Savannah Road, at the solicita tion of John Gallagher, who stated that Hefferman had been to his house and threatened to kill him and his family Hefferman refused to be arrested and showed fight. Mr. Johnson thereupon sent to iiojice headquarters for reinforce ments, and private Cartledge was sent to his assistance. These two then proceed ed to make the arrest, and Hefferman be came somewhat quieted, but upon get ting them intothe house he shut the door and made an on-slaught upon Mr. Cart ledge, cutting him severely... "..Mr. Johnson theil struck Hefferman with a stick, whereupon he loft Cartledge and attacked him. Johnson went to Wards the back door, and Hefferman again turned upon Cartledge with his knife. Tlie latter seeing that if was Hef forinau's determination to ei.ther kill or be killed, fired upon him, shooting him through the hean, thc shot causing in stant death.' ' -m4^.+ m- ,- - A SiKGCXAB INCIDENT.-A few days since, Sj[r. Gideon Haynes, his wife and little boy went cut to gather some blue grass seed, and while engaged in gathering the seed, a swarm' of bees alighted upon thc boy, literally covering him from head to loot. They hung from his ears, chin and-nose in great bunches, and clung in thick elusteis to every part of his body. .Mr. rtpyn.es, realizing thc dangerous sit uation in which the child- was placed, commanded him to stand perfectly stili, aud-if possible, not to move a muscle. This*, the brave little fellow did, until the bees had all settled. Mri H. then took a stick, gently lifted the boy's hat from his head and placed it upon a neighboring bush, when the'entire swarm kit their extraor dinary resting place and took the hat and bush. Strange to relate, the boy received only one sting, and that was caused by hus seizing, with his teeth, a bee that was hying to make his way into his mouth.

READ THE FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience luir I- monst rated that the rates of Premium ordinarily charged NV Lifo Insurance Comp; nies arc from twenty-live to thirty per cent, in excess of what are necessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of the business. In other words, carefully and "prudently-managed Companies charging "Mutual" rates have been able to return to their policyholders from '??j to I?0 per cent, of the amount?^ar?c'?? for premiums, When Life Insurance .Companies were, fagt organized, the reliability- of the data upon which the premiums were constructed 'fiatundergone the test of experience.' It was thought; ph^-foro, pe^o^t?anc?uiiiioii prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which wonjo, ?1} any e??jit, meet all the presumed and unforeseen-contingencies of the business. ' . As loligta's thc matter wa* involved in .?onie doubt, ii was better to fix the rate too High I han t< vj mair the risk of making it t'?i low ; because, in the former case, the error could be ea.-ilv remedied, at feast in part, by-reluming to the policyholders, {\\ pertain intervals, sne:h portion o.f'tl)e premium ?j^mpij m? waa fun ?ld unnecessarydbr tho pulposus o? (he business and thc complete security of the Company. . Expcrieiice.-hi'Nyever, having satisfactorily demonstrated that these rates are exces sive, what possible excuse can there be J'"r maintaining them ? Availing themselves <.!' this experience, tia- 1 ??rectors and Managers of Hie Universal Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopted a.scale of premiums in accor dance therewith, and which has proved to be lair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meei the requirements of the business. These premiums are about twentyT., five per cent, lower limn those charged by Mutual Companies. lt also appeared, inasmuch as thc rates so established were as near as could possibly f be determined fair rates, and not in excess of what Insurance has u.^y.ic^.lv wwi 'the I Policyholders m ji&'ttiihl CSfnnjinife; thaf ?rfj:.' pV??W ari-i'ng from* prudent manage- ? nient' jusilV ut?? faViper?y wfolrfgwr^lii'tlie stockholders of the Company, for the risk incurred by them in undertaking thu business. Experience has shown that then- are sources of profit in the practice of the business which theory will not admit of being considered as elements .rn the calculation of tire premiums. "These results l'mni a saving in the mortality of the members of a Com pany owing to the medical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments of ; the Company over that assumed in the calculation of its premiums, the profits derivable from the lapsing and surrender of Policies by the members, and from other minor sources, i . . . ; Profits from these sources, in a Company posse.>-s"d t?; capiiai oi*..$200,000, and do ing a fair amount of business, would ^u.c. to-thc ni?cklioldors dividends largely ni ex j.'f-is of wlmt wore 'counted on by the "Directors of the Universal at thc time of ita organization. " They have, therefore, determined to divjdc among thc policyholders of the Company a large part of the profits ac cruing from the sources named/all of which have lfcretoforc been dividoa among thc- stockholders. The plan adopted for such division is as follows :. Every person who nay hereafter insure with the Universal will, for the purposes of dividion, be treated us. a ^"i^oi- ! der to tho extent of one Annual Premium upon his Policy : ';>'-.? w&?*tr? in the profit* . af (Lp ?ovwany lo precisely fa sav* c.c'ci-f VA X^hwJcr owing an equal amount ?\f thc ??ip?al 6!/o-rk. Bv this system of Insurance, original with the Universal, the policyholder secures the following important advantages : FinsT. Insurance at the regular "Stock'' nilen, requiting a prUnnry outlay oj about, twenty lu thirty per ct-nt. less than (hat charged by Mutual Companies, and which is equivalent to a yearly " dividend" paid in advance of that amount on mutual rates. This low cost of insurance is worthy of attention. Since its organization this Company has received in pibmiums from ifs policyholders'the sum of $l.?l7,0M* To \ effect the same'amount of insurance in a Mutual Company, would, ^tp'W^t'ir^ejpj au | , initial outlay of $2,000.000. Bv allowing jig ^iJ^hW^' io ra'uin, m their wyn pos- 1 session this excess of $483,000, the Ui?iv??'sfii'lr?s'virhially paid them a " dividend" of $488,000, and paid it, too,' in advance, instead of at the encl of one or moro years'. It is impossible to lind any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so low a cost bv returning to its policy li oldera an equal amount upon similar receipts. SECOND. ' Participation in the legitimate profits of th* Company, upon apian which secures to thc policyholders the same treatment which Directors and Stockhoulers award to themselves. This system'of participation, in connectiou with the low " stock" rates of premium, must necessarily secure to the policyholders every possible advantage to be derived from prudent and*careful management. The low rates of premium compel economy, and, indepeu?le.u/f ef mvikr??tion, guarantee to the policyholder his insurance at ft y?ytp ^j?^ hi'noX m excess ol the cost? Tn well[managed mutualpompatiies; while, by tho."proposed plan of participation in what may be cor.j?d:ef?d the ^j^ne/c^'ro/if's of tho business, thc cost will be still >? further dimimshecl. 1 ... Thus bv the combined advantages arising from low stock, rate and participation in theprofitsit is confidently believed that the UNIVERSAL LIFE-INSURANCE ? COMPANY oilers- insurance at its lowest practicable cost. Jfc?" Those of the^existing Policyholders who desire to particip?t" in thc Profits uudcTthe new Plan can do so. bv making application to tho.
