THE ADVERTISER. Terms, ^3,00 per Annum. Death of S. J.. Tompkins* Esq. With feelings of unusual sadness do we record*'the" death of S. JAMES TOMP KINS, which took place at his home in the-Dark Corner side of our District, on Sunday last, after a' sudden and violent attack of fever. Mr. TOMPKINS, a grand son of the late Col. JAMES TOMPKINS, was ouly about twenty-five years of age; and universally honore? and beloved. Again, and Again, and Again I Again,-and again, and-'again, have we to thank our kind and liberalfriend, Mr. BENJ. W. HATCHER,1 ibr presents of the finest Melons and Beaches. He scuds quantities into town almost every day now; and anyone, With fruit-buying in tentions, would do well to inquire for the HATCHER wagon. . -? ?????? .- . Going to the Richards Brothers.

This Establisimient is, beyond all doubt, a magnificent one, and we congratulate both HyoH and the RICHARDS Brothers. . j.;- ,- , , ^ .. A Damnable Outrage. A young wh'ite girl, . about ' twenty years' 'of age, named Celia Neal, an in mate of the District' Poor House, was brutally outraged a few dajTs since -while ?wandering in a field belonging to the Poor House Farm. This wretched girl is idiotie and somewhat deformed-wh ich adds to the horror "and heinousness of the deed. Sho avers that the perpetrator is c-ne Aj?dsow Burrow, a negro fellow who was working in the field at the time. TJtie.said Andrej Burrow has been ar j ts ted aud lodged in. our jail. But he stoutly denies hoing guilty. The outrage, however, was undoubtedly committed; ?ind as soon as tho perpetrator becomes Icncorn, Jot him. be /uuigcd-^be he who hcTnavV: 1 " Stunrp -die World.''

A Railroad, branching oft" from the Wilmingtort'and Manchester Railroad at Sumter, is now teing built between the latter place and Columbia, This Road, which, if we mistake not, is well nigh completed, is palled the Wilmington and ColumbiafRailroad ; and we learn from the Columbia Phoenix that it has been determined to extend it to Augusta, Tho Phoenix says that Mr. George W. Earle, I. an experienced engineer, will begin a survey of the new route at an early day. And, farther, that Col. R. R. Bridges, the President of the Wilmington and Man chester Railroad',-Major Townsend, Presi dent of the Ch'eraw and Salisbury Rail road, and the aforesaid Mr. Earle, were in Columbia two or three days ago, their visit being in reference to the extension of the Wilminton and Columbia Road to Augusta, . i This is splendid news for the people of Edgefield, Town and District, if this new Road shall run on the North side of the ?hsriotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail road, in such a case it must traverse a large, populous and wealthy section of our District, and pass through our town. But the iou te from Columbia to Au gusta,-South of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta. Railroad, running princi pally through Lexington District, is con siderably shorter and more direct than thaton the North side, while at the same time it passes through a much more marshy country and would have to cross almost innumerable streams. Yet per haps, notwithstanding the marshes and streams, its superior shortness would give it the^preferonceover the North-side route. .And under these circumstances, what should Edgefield do? She should rise at once and make the new Road such an oifer as would secure the Northside route. Pledge herself ror-say from $50, 000 to $75,000-or nmrb if necessary. And, further, represent to tlie authorities of the new Roan the advantages of the North-side route, for we really believe without having liad time or opportunity to give the matter serious investigation that these advantages are numerous and superior."

Let the Advertiser, On behalf of you ?di, say to President Bnirxfl?s and the Board of Directors ofthat Road, " We.will guarantee you $100,000 if you will bring your Road through our Country." And again, let us cordially invite President RuiDGJBS and Mr. EARLE to come among ns and view tlie land. Sharpen up your wits and your pens, yo Railroad woll-wi.hers, and let us have your views on this subject.

The event occurred at Mar seilles while he was on his way to italy, accompanied by friends who had insisted upon his making it journey, in the hopo j 'that by thc change of scene his mind, temporarily deranged by his losses du ring thc war, would recover its tone. It is now said that on arriving at Marseilles he slipped away from his friends ?uni committed suicide by swallowing poison. A life of Mires is in course of prepara tion by a well known French literatear, in which will be recorded tlie most re markable adventures and strange vicis situdes. 15,000 watermelons from th'j famous melon patches in the vicinity of Augusta were shipped to New York last week. A MAX PREACHED TO DEATH.-On Sunday last Elder Howe, of thc Christian Church- of this city, exchanged pulpits with the Minister ol' the Christian Church at Augusta, in this State, and at the close of his sermon Mr. Howe exhorted his hearers to preparo for death, impressing upon, them the uncertainty of life and^the absolute necessity 6f every one being pre pared for the hour which cometh una wares. He closed his exhortation by say ing that " there might be some person in the congregation who would never roach home alive." Hardly-had he ceased speak ing-in fact, while concluding the above; sentence-Mr. Howe observed a man gradually sink down in his pew and lay quietly over oh his side.

This Company Offers thc Following Important Advantages io those About Effecting insurance on their Lives: 1st. Insurance at Stock Kates, 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 wiMt share in thc Profits o? the Company to the same extent as a Stock holder owuingan equ al'amoru, t of.the Capital Stock. 3d. Every Policy .issued by the Company is nonforfeitable* and contains a Clause stating its exact Surrender Value. BEFORE INSURING YOUR LIFE OR ACCEPTING- THE AGENCY OF ANY COMPANY . . .?.;./'.. REA? THE FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience has demonstrated that'the rates of Premium ordinarily charged by Lite Insurance Companies are from twenty-live to thirty per cent, in exerts of what arc necessary fur a saie and legitimate conduct ol" the business. In other words, carefully and prudently-managed Companies charging " Mutual" rates huye been al>Ie to return to their po??cylioluew from L'? to 30 percent, ol'tim a mount charged for premiums. ..... When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, thc reliability of rim data upon which Hie premiums were constructed hail not undergone tho test o? experience. It was thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt apeale ol" premiums which Would, in any event, liiect all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the busmen, \s liing as the Platter was involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rate too high than t?i incur thc risk of making it too low ; because, in the former case, the error could bc easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to the policyholders, at certain, intervals, such portion of the premium charged as was found unnecessary for.:the purposes of thc business mid 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 tin mselves of this experience, the Diroctors arid Managers af tuc Universal Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopted, a scale al' premiums in accor dance therewith,- and -which has proved to bp. fair, and adequate, and all that was necessary to meei the requirements pf ?\9 trtysincss, These premiums arc about twenty live per "cent, lower than 'thus,- c.|u<vgul by Mutua] Companies, i ? Iralbo appeared., inasmuch M tito inter so esiablishcd were, as near as could possibly bc"determined fair rates, uud not in excess of what Insurance has previously cost the Policyholders in Mutual Companies, that any profits arising from prudent manage ment justly and properly belonged to thc stockholders of the Company, for the risk incurred by them in undertaking the business. Experience has shown that there are source*, of profit in the practice of the business which theory will not admit of being considered as elements in th.? calculation of thc premiums. These results from a saving iii the mortality bf the members of a Com pany owing to the medical selection of good liven, a gain in interest on the investments of the Company over that assumed in thc calculation of its premiums, the profits derivable from thc lapsing and surrender of Policies* by thc members, and from other mindr source*, Profits from these sources, in a Company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and do ing a fair amount of busiuess, would give to the stockholders dividends largely in ex cess of what were counted on by the Directors of the Universal ' &t ilit-. Unie of its organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among thu policyholders of (li? Company a large; part of the profits accruing from th?; sources named, ail of which have heretofore been divided among the stockholders. . . , The plan adopted for such division is Us follows : Every person who may hereafter insure with the Universal will, for the purposes of division, be treated as a stoekhol dcr to the extent of one Annual Premium upen his Policy ; dud ic ill share inthe prof ts of the Company lo precisely (lie same extent as a Stockholder owing an equal amount of the capital stock. By this system of Insurance, original with the Universal, the policyhoklcv seoures the following important advantages : FlEST. Insurance id.(he regular "Stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay oj abouttwenty to thirty pei- cent, less than tfraj ?iU'wd Ly Mutual Companies, and which is equivalent to ayearly " dividend'' paid in" advance of that amount biunutual rates. This low coat of insuranco is worthy of attention. Since its organization this Company has received in premiums from its policyholders the sum of $1,517,000. To effect thc same amount of insurance in a Mutual "Company would have cost them an initial outlay of $2,000,000.' By allowing its policyholders .to retuin in their own pos session this "excess of .$483,000, the Universal has virtually paid them a. " dividend" of ] $483,000, and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at Mic end of olio or more years. It is impossible ta find any example ol' a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so low a cost by returning to its policyholders an equal amount upon similar receipts. SECOND, participation in the legitimate p>rofils of 'the Company, upon apian which secures to the policyholders thc same treatment which Directors ana Stockholders award to themselves. . This system, of participation, in connection with the low " stock" rates of premium, must necessarily secure to the policyholders every possible advantage to be derived from prudent and. careful management. Thc low rates of premium compel. economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to the policyholder his insurance at a rate which is not in excess of the cost in well managed mutual companies ; while, by the proposed plan of participation in what may be considered the legitimate profils of the'business, the cost will be still further diminished. Thus bv the combined:advantages arising from low stork rate a :d participation in the profits it is confidently believed that thc UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance-at its lowest practicable cost. firST Those of the existing Policyholders who desire.to participate- in the Profits under flu new Plan cando so by making rfppliektwn't'o'the Head OfHce, or to any of tho Agent? of the Company. The Company is in a sound financial condition. t Ratio of Assets to liabilities 136 to 100.
