THE ADVERTISER. Terms, 83,00 per Annum. Local Jottings. Edgefielffr-profane, wicked, bloody, turbulent old Edgefield-has at last ta ken what is called now-a-days a "new departure.'* And truly the " new depar ture*' of Edgefield is no less unexpected and no less striking than that of Vallan digham and the Northern Democracy. .'. Where are nights and days so monoton ously peaceable as in Edgefield ? Where are Ku Klux so utterly "unknown? I Where are whites and blacks sb quiet, so | pious, so,long-snffering ? No one fights; no ono kills ; no one spills blood. Horse racing, cock-fighting and faro are among the lost arts. Indeed the nearest approach to tho pleasures of sin that we can chron icle, is picking blackberries and drinking soda water-soda water unmixed with mint; brandy or " flies." Truly we are a virtuous and exemplary people. And we hope the world at large will give us credit for our "new departure." The Court opened again on Monday last, and Judge MELTON is now occupied in the discharge of Equity business. Tho scene in the Court room is decidedly dull. In fact nothing betrays to the outside wo.dd that the Court is in session, except the .absurd " cryings" of Ex-Trial-Jus tice Heck Harris, "who is now a constable. Heck is decidedly a bad hand at calling and dismissing Court, and does such vio lence to the formula as is calculated to make the bones of Harvest Turner writhe in the-grave. But in one respect, at least, Heck has made a decided improvement, for instead of saying " all persons having anymanner of businoss in this Court," he says " aU manner of persons having any business." Truly in these latter days/it were well to say' " all manner of persons." We are glad to see, at the bar, the honored face and form of Chancellor CARROLL. This is his old home, and every one is glad to see him. It is mel ancholy to think that this learned and eminent Jurist now struggles at the bar for a livelihood, while negroes and knaves sit on the Supreme Bench of South Carolina. In a few weeks, now, both our Schools will wiD disband for the summer vaca tion. The close of the session in Miss BUTLER'S popular institution is to he , marked b;> a musical and dramatic en tertainment which promises to be both brilliant and pleasant. ; ; As regards exterior matters in our town, 1 what aro the new Council doing? Fold- i ing their hands together in sleep? It 1 ?would seem so. Yes ; after having the : public pump set in order, they have de- ? liberately gone to sleep. Awake, avako, ye Councilmen, lest the Narrow-Gauge i should come suddenly and turn up its < iron nose at your sluggishness ! ? But speaking of tho exterior of our : town, reminds us of tho blazing r?nova- < tion of the law office of GARY ?fe GARV. ? Verily it is the cleanest and whitest little ] pile in th eso regions, ard quite enlivens i that part of the village. As it now looks, ! it would do to hold one of the Gift-Con- ! certs in. Suppose we have one herc. ? And. this train of thought reminds us of ; another thing, to wit that our popular fellow-cith?en, Genl. GARY, has been pro nounced the handsomest man in South < Carolina. Yes, it, is so-and nothing to ] be astonished at either ; for it is just what 1 we "-a* e always.said and .maintained. ' The cox ,-espondent of the New York Sun . is th?.gian who has done it. He writes from Columbia describing thc personnel . of the Tax-payers Convention, and in ' speaking of our townsman, says : " Genl. ? MARTIN WITHERSPOON GARY, the hand- 1 .som est man in the State, and the most . <lasliin^; cavalry leader the war produced 1 on the Southern side." Yes, our friend 1 .... ' * is aH this, and still wanders " in maiden meditation, fancy-free." Think of it, la .dies,;ar.d jl arpsu up your arrows. Some drys ago, it pleased us very much ' lo see o. i Ihe square, that much esteemed citizen, Major JOHN H. HUGHES, who 1 was so seriously injured by being thrown from his carriage some five or six weeks , back, . l'ai or H. has almost entirely, re covered -a fact which, we know, wiU be good nt f? to his many friends. As to t ho weather and the crops, wc might s y the one consists of rain and ' the oth-.-r of grass. But sunshine and corn wi 1 come in due time-and cotton too. And also hay in abundance, if^our farmer*, will only gather it at'the right ' moment. 1 Up-Country Beets. Up-country, in this case, means Rich ardsonville. From this favored region of our District, come the finest Beets we ; have seen this* season. Out of 7 or 8, either one would bo amply sufficient to fill a dish for a common-sized family. They were sent to us by Mrs. MOSES WALTON. We thank her very kindly indeed. And Mountain Onions. Mountain, in this case, means that high hill in our suburbs, whereon Judge D.' Li. TURNER lives. We return him our thanks for such Onions as Connecticut and Wetfiersfield never dreamed of. Drop in, you straggling-about people, and take a look at these beautiful Beets and Onions. _? !Thea-Nectnr and While-SVine Vine gar. .

Now me farmers find that dog rais ing pays better than sheep culturo. Gross Misconduct on the Fart of the County Commissioners. Some three weeks ago Gov. Scott, be coming convinced that the then acting County Auditor, Louis Schiller, (a detes table Scallawag, and a boon companion of the Hamburg nest of Radical thieves and plunderers,) was not " the right man in the right place," removed the said Louis from office, and- appointed .Mr. R, A. LYNCH to fill the position. Mr. Lj accepted the appointment, and forthwith gave a good and sufficient bond for the faithful performance of the duties Of the office. This bond was Tequif ed to be ap proved by the County Commissioners, but up to this time Mr. LYNCH has failed j to get the Commissioners to hold a meet i.ing for the purpose of passing upon the bond, although he Has time and again ap pealed to them. Why the Commission ers should, by thus acting, exhibit a de sire to thwart-the act of Gov. Scott in making an appointment so acceptable to the tax-payers of Edgefield, is beyond our conjecture. And, Messrs. Commis sioners, in behalf of the tax-payers of ..Edgefield,-a people who have boen most shamefully over-taxed and plundered through the instrumentality of Auditor Schiller,-we make complaint concern ing your action in regard to Mr. LYNCH'S bond. If you expect to draw pay for services as County Commissioners, most assuredly you should discharge the du ties assigned you-or at once resign and give place to men who will comply with all the requirements of the office. Our Railroad correspondent "PRACTI CAL,''w-rites well, and his 'jlanmay. be very practical, and all that ; but we would much prefer fe r him to come up and sub scribe a thousand or so, or even a few hundred in Our Railroad,-rand then when theStockholders assemble he can have a voice in determining the location of the route, Ac These are matters that belong exclusively to the Stockholders. The plan suggested by our correspondent, being the plan of one evidently more in terested in the building of another Road than in the Road we propose building, we hardly think it exactly "practical" that his views should have prepondera ting weight over the views of those who are sustaining our enterprise not only with words of encouragement, but with their monev. Our Public Schools. On another Column will bo found the School Commissioner's appointment of J Trustees for the several Townships in the Count}-.

We hopo the Trustees designated will accept the appointment md proceed to the organization of their respective-School Districts, in accordance with the instructions furnished by tho State Superintendent of Education, pub lished in our advertising colums of this issue.

We are very glad indeed to welcome to 3ur table tho Aiken Journal, a new pa per lately started in the fair capital of tho new County. The Editor and Proprietor of this paper, however, is not a new man, ;nasmuch as he is Mr. JOHN S. SHUCK, ;he popular and enterprising head of | ;he Barnwell Journal, which admirable weekly, by the by, we are delighted to see he is still keeping up. The Aiken Journal makes its debut in fine style and very prepossessing garb. We hope it will srrow and flourish with the new County, and never know aught but honor and usefulness. And wc hope further, that it will bc a stout advocate of thc pooplo of Aiken taking up our Edgefield Rail road at the Pine House and extending it to their own town. And after that' we'll all buckle to and carry it through to Ninety Six. he Chronicle ct Sentinel of Tues day, says : On yesterday morning a col ored Carolinian named George Washing ton came the grab game over a colored woman in Hamburg named Hannah Moore, and beat a precipitate rctreatwith the swag-a few dollars in currency across the Savannah river. A colored "periko" followed him into Georgia, however, without waiting for the form ality of a requisition. The robber was found and arrested in Warren Block, and persuaded to accompany his captor back into South Carolina, where his goose will be cooked in the most appropriate man ner. Facts Worth Knowing. Du ring-a recent trial or comparison of ' ordinary Baking Powders in N ew York, with DOOLEY'S YEAST POWDER, it was shown conclusively that better results were attained with from one-half to two thirds the quantity of the latter, than with any other in market The secret of the success lies in tho care with which DOOLEY'S YEAST POWDER is prepared, and its entire freedom from substances that are injurious to the system. We challenge comparison at any and all times. The verdict of the consumer is always in our favor. For salo by all Grocers. 25-27 GOMME??IAL. AUGUSTA, June 13. GOLD-Buying at 110 and sellingat 112.

MONTAGUE, Actuary, E. W. LAMBERT, M. D., Med. Ex. This Company Offers the Following Important Advantages to those About Effecting Insurance on their Livest 1st. Insurance at Stock Rates, being from 20 to 30 Per Cent, less than the Rates charged by Mutual Companies. 2d. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium on his Policy, and will share in the Profits of the Company to the same extent as a Stock holder owning an equal amount of the Capital Stock. . 3d. Every Pojicy issued by the Company is non-forfeitable, and contains a Clause stating its exact Surrender Value. BEFORE INSURING YOUR LIFE OR ACCEPTING THE AGENCY, OF ANY COMPANY . . '? > 'BEAD THE FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the rates of Pr?mium ordinarily charged Dy Life Insurance Companies are from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in excess ] of what are necessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of the business. In other words, carefully and pnidently-manageu Companies charging " Mutual", rates have been able to return to their policyholders from 25 to 30 percent, of the amount charged for premiums, ..: When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of the data upon which the premiums were constructed had not undergone the test of .experience: It was thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums ' which would, in any event, meet all the presumed^ and unforeseen contingencies of the business. I? ? t As long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rate too high than to incur the risk of making it too low ; because, in the former case, the error could be easily remedied, at l?ast in part, by returning to the policyholders, at certain intervals, such portion of the premium charged as was found unnecessary for the purposes of the business and the complete security of the Company. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that these rates are exces sive, what possible excuse can there be for maintaining them ? Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal I Life Insurance Oovipany, at its organization, adopted a sc?le bf premiums in accor dance therewith; and which has pfbved'to be fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meo^ the requirements of the business. These premiums are about twenty five per cent, lower than those charged by Mutual Companies. It also appeared, inasmuch a?> the rates sp .established were as near as could, possibly be determined fair rates/and not in.eXcess of what Insurance has previously cost .the Policyholders in Mutual Companies, that .'any profits arising from prudent ,manage mcnt justly and properly'belonged to the stockholders.of thc Company, fof?he risk incurred by them in.undertaking the business. Experience has shown that there are sources of profit-in the practice of the business which theory will not admit of being considered as elements m the ealoulation of the premiums. These results from a saving in the mortality of the members of a Com pany oking to thd, jnedical "election of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments of the Company, over that ..ssumed in thc calculation of its premiums,, the profits derivable from the lapsing and surrender of Policies by the members, and from; other minor sources. . Profits from these sources, in a Company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and do ing a fair amount of business, would give to the stockholders dividends largely in ex cess of what were Counted on by the Directors of thc Universal at tho,'time of its organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among tho policyholders of J the Company a large part of the profits accruing from thc sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among the stockholders. The plan adopted for such division is as follows : Every person who-may hereafter insure with the Universal will, for the purposes of division, be treated as a stockhol der to the extent of one Annual Premium upon his Policy ; and will share in the profits of the Company toprecisely the same extent as a Stockholder owing an equal amount j of the capital stock. By this system of Insurance, original with the -Universal, tho policyholder secures the following important advantages : FIRST. Insurance at'the rcgulrr" Stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay of \ about twenty to thirty per cent, less than thal chanted 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 premiums fro?i its policyholders the sum of $1,517,000. To effect the same amount of insurance in a Mutual Company would have cost them an initial outlay of $2,000,000, By allowing its policyholders to retain .in their own pos session this excess of $483,000, the Universal ha* virtually paid them a " dividend* of I $483,000, and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at the end of one or more years. , It is impossible to find any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at sp low a cost by returning to its policyholders'an equal amount upon similar receipts. SECOXD. "Participation iii the legitimate profits of.the Company, upon apian which secures to ?ie policyholders the same treatment which. Directors and Stockholders award to themselves. This system of participation, in connection with the low " stock" rates of premium, must necessarily secure io the policyholders every possible advantage to be derived from prudent and careful management. The low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee io the policyholder his insurance at a rate which is not in excess of the cost in well managed mutual companies ; while, by thc proposed [dan of participation hi what may be considered thc legitimate profits of thc busin'ws, the cost will be still further diminished. Thus bv thc combined advantages arisi'.ii from low stock rate and participation iii thc profits it is confidently believed that^jie UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost. fy*?~ Tl ipso of the existing Policyholders who desiri; to participate in the Profits under the new Plan can do so by making application to the Head Office, or to any of J the Agents of the Company. Thc Company is in a sound financial condition.
