THE ADVERTISER. Terms; ^3,00 per Auuum. 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 tho Dark Corner sido 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 only about ftventy-??ve years of age; and universally honored ?nd beloved. Again, and Again, and Again ! A gain,-and again,? and aga; ? have we to thank our kind and liberal Iriend, Mr. BENJ. W. HATCHER,1 for presents of the finest Melons, and Peaches. He sends quantities into town almost every day now; and anyone, with fruit-buying ih; tentions, would do well to inquire for the HATCHER wagon. Going to the Richards Brothers.

HARRISON-too late fbr publication this week-a card, stating to his friends and the public that he will in* few flays enter upon duty ?s.a.'sales: man in th? .Dry Goods Establishment of ( the RICHARDS Brothers, Augusta. This EstablisJuiient is, beyond all doubt, a magnificent one, and we congratulate both HUGH and the RICHARDS Brothers. A Damnable Ootrage. A young wnlt? girl, . about; twenty years* 'of age, uained Celia Neal, an ih mate of the District Poor House, was brutally outraged a few days since while ?wandering in a field belonging to the Poor House Farm. This -wretched girl is ichoticand somewhat deformed-which ?dds . to the horror * and heinousness of thc d jed. She avers that the perpetrator is one Andrew Borrow, a negro follow who was working in the field at the time. The said Andrew, Burrow has been ar rived and lodged in our jail. But he stoutly denies being guUty. The outrage, however, was undoubtedly committed ; and as soon as tho perpetrator becomes known, Jot him be lumped-:be he who he mav J-' ?? " stump the World." Wo have a big tole,to tell ! That high bred and hospitable, laily,, Mrs. WILLIS HARRIS, from her home on Savaun?h River, has sent us * basket .of wondrous ly fine and beautiful Peaches-far the finest and most beautiful we, or anybody else, ever saw?

A Fine Railroad Chance lor Edge field. A Railroad, branching oft* from the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad at Sumter, is now being built between the latter place and Columbia. This Road, which, if we mistake not, is well nigh completed, is palled the Wilmington and ColnmbiaJtailroad ; 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, an experienced engineer, will begin a survey of the new route at an early day. And, further, that Col. R. R. Bridges, the President of the Wilmington and Man chester Railroad, Major Townsend, Presi dent of the Cheraw and Salisbury Rail road, and me 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. This is splendid news for the people of Edgefield, Town and District, if this new Road shall run on the North side of the ?hm-?otte, 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 route 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 stream?. Yet per haps, notwithstanding the marshes and streams, its superior shortness would give it theare feronce over the North-side route. .And under these circumstances, what should Edgefield do? She should rise at once and make the new Road such an oiler as wduid. secure the NortliTside route. Pledge herselfror-say from ?50, 000 to $75,000-or njorb if necessary. And, further, represent'to the authorities of the new Road the advantages of the North-side route, for we really believe without having luid time or opportunity to give the matter serious investigation that these advantages are numerous aud superior." Besides the inhabitants of the town Of Edgefielo>, the people of the Mt. Willing Section, of the Ridrordsonville section*, of the Allen section, of the Smy ly section, of the .Nicholson section, and of a certain section between thu? and Augusta, should all, it appears to us, feel the deepest" interest in th's impor tant matter. We beg bur immediate fellow citizen, and our honored friends, iii all the above mentioned country, to fix their eyes and thoughts steadily upon this enterprise. And then-therr nionoy'! Let the .1 dvcrtis?r, On behalf of you all,.say to President BKIDO-ES and the Board of Di rectors ofthat Road, " We.will guarantee you $100,000 if you will bring your Road through our Country." And .igain, let us cordially invite President Rai DO ES and Mr. EARLE to come among us and view tlie land. Sharpen up your wits and your pens, ye Railroad well-wi.hers, and let us have your views on this subject. Our humble opinion is, that if we se cure tho Wilmington, Columbia and Au gusta Railroad to run through our town, we would all be made. Second us right away now !

Thc event occurred at Mar seilles while he was on his way to italy, accompanied by friends who had insisted upon his making a journey, in the hope that by thc change of scene his mind, temporarily deranged by Iiis losses du ring thc war, would recover its tone. It is now said that on arriving at Marseilles he -lipped away from his friends and committed suicide by swallowing poison. A life of Mires is in course of prepara tion by a well knov n French literatear, in which will be recorded the most re markable adventures and strange vicis situdes. 10,000 watermelons from the famous melon patches in the vicinity of Augusta vere shipped to New York last week. A MAX PP.EACHED TO DEATH.-On Sunday last Elder Howe, of the Christian Church' of this city, exchanged pulpits with the Minister of the Christian Church at Augusta, in this State, and at the close of his sermon Mr. Howe exhorted his hearers to prepare for death, impressing upon, them the uncertainty of life and^lhe absolute necessity 6f'every one being pre pared for the hour which cometh una wares. He closed his exhortation by sav ing that " there might be some person in flic congregation who would never roach home alive." Hardly had he ceased speak ing-in fact, wh?e concluding the above sentence-Mr. Howe observed a man gradually sink down in his pew and lay quietly over on his side. A gentleman immediately behind him reached over to. raise.him un-but he was dead !

This Company Offers Use Following Important Advantages lo those About Effecting insurance on their Lives: 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 reg'ndcd as a Stockholder -to thc extent of one Annual Premiar? til his Policy, and w??kshare in the Profits of the Company to the same extent as a Stock holder owning an equal'amoui.t of the Capital Stock. 3d. Every Policy -issued by the Company is nonforfeitable; and contains a Clause stating its exact Surrender Value. YOUR LIFE OR ACCEPTING THE AGENCY OF ANY FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience lias demonstrated tnat'tho rates of Premium ordinarily charged by Lite Insurance Companiesarq norn twenty-live to thirty per cent, in excess of what ?ire necessary for a side and legitimate conduct of th,e. business. In other words, carefully und'prudcutly-mtinaged Companies charging. "'Mutual" rates haw bociij aide to return to tilter policyholders from 25 to 30 per cent, ol'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 tho test ol ex{>ericnce. lt was thought; therefore, no moro than common prudence to adopt apeale of premiums which would, in ?ny event, ulcet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies ol'ihe basincfci, .j As liing 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 cou ld be easily remedied, at hast in part, by returning to the policyholders, at certain, intervals, such portion of tho premium charged as was finmd unnecessary for. the purposes of the business and the complete security of the Company. Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that these rates arc exces sive, what possible excuse can lhere be Ito maintaining them ? Availing themselves of this experience, thc Diroctors and Managers ol?tir. Universal Life Insurance Company, at its Organization, adopted, a scale Qt premiums in accor dance therewith,- and -which luis proved to, ho fan- and adequate, and all that waa necessary to meet the requirements pf th.e business, These premiums are about twenty live per cent, lower tlia/.i tjiosfi ft?#?l ?'J' Mutual Companies. ? . It'ojsj) appeared., inasmuch tf> tho inter so established were, as near as could possibly bc dotifmiiii'd fair rates, and 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 ihe 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 ths business which theory will not admit of being considered as clements in the calculation of tho premiums. These results from 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 tho Company over that assumed ?II the calculation of its premiums, the profits derivable from tim lapsing and surrender of Policies* by the members, and from other min?t souroiu?. . ? . 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 the Universal at the time ol' its organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among thopolicvholdcrs of ?ie Company a large part of the profits- accruing from the sources named, ail of which have heretofore been divided among the stockholders. . . The plan adopted for witch division is ks follows : Every person who may hereafter insure with the Universal will, for the purposes of division, be treated ?;s a stockhol der to the extent of one Annual Premium upen his Policy ; and teilt sha rc in the profils of the Company lo precisely (lie same eden/ as a Stockholder owing an equal amount of the capital stock. By this system of Insurance, original with the Universal, the policylioldt'V-ttfouyi. the following important advantages : FIRST. Insurance al thc regular " Stock" rates, requiting a primary outlay oj about twenty lo thirty per ceri), less than t-hai ch(U'Qi>d Ly Mutual Companies, and which is equivalent to a yearly "dividend" paid in" advance of thal amount bu .mutual rates. Tins low coat of insurance- is worthy of attention. Since its organization this Company has received in premiums from its policyholders the ?um 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 has virtually paid them a. " dividend" of $483,000, and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at the end of ono or more years. It is impossible to hud any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so low a cost by returning"to its policyholders an equal amount upon similar receipts. SECOND. Participation in thc legitimate profits of 'the Company, upon apian which secures to the policyholders thc same treatment which Directors ana Stockholders award to themselves. . This system, bf 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. The 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 mav be considered the legitimate profits of the business, the cost will be still further diminished. . ' . Thus bv the combinedradvantages arising from low stork rate and participation in the profits it is confidently believed that tho UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance-at its lowest practicable cost, fcST Those of- the existing Policyholders who devi rc- to participate, in the Profits under the new Plan can do so by making rfpplicatipirto'the Head Office, or to any of the Agents of the Company.

Company is in a sound financial condition < Rati? of Assets to Liabilities 130 to 100 BST.GOOD RELIABLE AGENTS WANTED, who will.deal direct with the New..York Office, and to whom full General Agents' Commissions'will be paid.
