The Hon.

"One of tlie great est drawbacks to tho popularity of Life Insurance, has been the di.-v pointmcnt and dissatisfaction of retiring. Policy holders, at thc smallness of the surrender value paid," <kc. "All this would have boen prevented by a distinct statement on tlc: Folie;/, in advance, of thc su iii tn be paid." This statement, it will be seen, The Brooklyn makes in dollars and cents, so that there can be no mistake. Read What Southern Papers Say of This .Feature ; Thc Sentinel, {Raleigh, North Carolina.)

Our New York Correspondence. XBW YORK, March 22,1S72. I suppose there is no metropolis in the world which so thoroughly represents thc heterogeneous character of a nation, and absorbs thc products of its genius and industry, as does this self-same city of New York. It is. impossible for any observant man to walk down Broadway and not be interested lirst, in thc number of "notorieties" who will bo pointed out as " lions" of the town ; and secondly, in thc curious obstinacy with which na ture appears to preserve the peculiarities of people from di li?rent portions of the world. It is equally impossible for a stranger not to feel that while in Now York he is a mere nonentity ; that what ever may be tho pomp and circumstance of his surroundings al home, he is here only a mite in a mighty, cheese; yet withal so independentthat he can explore where Ire may please, and no man, wo man or child will bc the wiser. "Ile pays his money and betakes bis choice." If religiously inclined, he may enjoy a Methodist brotherof the good old school ; or, on the other hand, may see the Al mighty worshiped dramatically with all the adjuncts.except the foot-light*, and pr< ached at by .fashionable parsons who part their hair in the middle, wear the latest sacerdotal uniform, and look as well satisfied ?ts ii they had a fal contract with their aristocratie pnrishoners to drive them to Heaven al the last conve nient moment in a coach and four. If a lawyer, be ean sieb into court and ob serve John Graham perform legal gym nastics l>efore the bar, and now and then bushwhack tho judge on tho bench. If au artist, he may visit tho Studio, on Tenth-street, where fifty of his fellows are ? irking for dear life on every sort of picture, ? rom a small-sized' humble-bee le Gignonx's hist sketch of tho Rocky Mountains. If bc would like to gamble a little, why he has only to step around the corner in Wail street, and be accom modated by any number of spruce young gentlemen, fresh from thc F ul ton-street prayer-meeting, and first-class members of tiie Christian Association, who in fif teen minutes will take him .1 and bring iiiin out of a stock speculation that will leave him as cleanly picked a canvass back duck ready for thi; spit. As au idler, he can lounge on Broadway, where fashion and frailty arc tho Siamese twins o'f tho sidewalk; and, if his tastes arc not too refined, a po iceman will show him wretchedness enough in live min utes' walk from bis hotel to make a series of unadulterated nightmares that will last fi>r a life-time. The practical man will bc attracted by other things. Ile will see in New York the genius of his country in a nut-shell ; . and how, in every department, machine ry is tailing the place of muscle, lie will go to bed ina machino which five minutes before looked like a magnificent book-ease ; he will be gently turned out In the morning-by machinery ; he goes Uown stairs-by machinery; his head will be brushed in the barber shop-by machinery : bis clothes arc made by ma chinery, that gives employment tb a hun dred thousand working women ; and bc may cook a nach olor breakfast on a stove that is its own servant, and times thc condition of the bot rolls by clock-work. Ho may even make books by machinery, for thc Journeymen Printers of Now York have formed a Co-operative Asso dation at No. .".0 Beckman street, iii which every member is a cog wheel in a system that bas reduced tho prico of. every kind of pt inline at thc <amc time that it turns out with most superb styles ol'work. Go where you please, in fact, and .you will find every specie? of device conceivable that eau serve a useful pur pose as an auxiliary to human comfort, from a pocket twine cutter to a cotton gin or steam'engine. .Tiley arc even building railroads by machinery/and under its magic villages r.re springing up willi a speed that recalls the fairy work of Aladdin's lamp, lt is only the oilier day that A. T. Stewart pureluised eight thousand acres of land on Long Island, and already twenty-five or thirty mile: of streets arc graded; shade trees aro planted, blocks are fenced in, and a large hotel, six hundred feet long and si\ stories high, is in process of construction, besides many linc brick ?difices. Five months ago there was no commu n teat ion between tho north and south side of Long Island save by the old fashioned dirt road. Yet before the flow ers bud in May, twenty-two miles of rail will be laid and no less limn twelve beautiful villages will be brought within an hom 's ride of New York city. By machinery, tho work of three years will be compressed into about seven mouths, j A portion of the way lies through a rocky i spine or inigo, which at first seemed a I harrier almost insurmountable. But at j this juncture a well-known railroad con i tractor, Mr. James N. Smith, of Brook lyn, steeped forward and said, " Gentle men, that hill is only a mile and a half ! across ; I'll guarantee to go through it in ninety days." It was thought to bc an I impossibility? but they let him try. Ho j at once put a'steam excavator at work j on either side and commenced operations. I With a ton of coal a day, they have per j formed thc work of three hundred men, ' and are now within a fow rods of each ' other, puffing and blowing while they burrow deep into the heart of the moun tain. 1 (iroveoutj.be other day to see th eso monsters at wprk, and thc first object that attracted my attention was thc six foot millionaire contractor, Mr. Smith, with his broadcloth coat thrown aside, driving a . drill with n twenty-pound sledge*. T a'dkod him if ha waa " taking his constitutional f" " Not in that style,'' was the reply; "I'm only teaching this man how to economize his muscles and work to advantage." The answer seemed to illustrate the genius of the place. I looked down the deep cut at the ma chine. It was not much larger than a small cabin-a sort of young houso on wheels, but those wheels with the mo - tive power in the heart of tho engine could give it a speed of six or eight miles an hour. A gigantic arni protruded from the front, at the end of which was a great iron hand with sharp claws, and these were made to ascend and descend at the will of one man. The operator occupied a platform near th? engine, and with but a simple contrivance-a stirrup for his foot .and a lever for his hands-he moved tons. I remember that a great rock was bulg ing from tho liard knotted face of thc bank, which it seemed as if nothing but a blast of powder could stir ; and it was, curious to observe how deftly those large iron lingers-cleaned out, first, the dirt from tho sicles ; then gently scraped the top ; and finally, taking a firm grip, shook the rock with a giant's strength, until nature at last gave way to the art of nam, and the immense boulder weighing te:, or twelve tons was lifted ?from its bed with as little power apparently as a boy would lift a marble, swung around and deposited in the dump-car by its side. At each operation of the shovel on thc pure earth, a ton and a half is swept forever from its bed. A ? rain of forty or fifty cars wait on th?, machine, and it was curious to ob serve the almost human intelligence with which the horses, trained tu their work, dashed up on a run, each wita an empty car to give it impetus, and of their own accord went back, turned and presented thc traces to be hooked on to the next.

Wc regret lo learn from our Abbeville exchanges that Dr. Isaac Branch died at his home in that town on thc 21st inst. Dr. Brandi was a large hearted, enter prising gentleman, devoted to his Dis trict and State, t 1 enjoyed thc entire confidence and unbounded esteem of all who knew him. Thc Preiss it Barnier, noticing his death, says: Doctor Branch was a natlveof Vermont, but for -more than fifty years, he had lived amongst us, and was identified with our people. Zealous in every good word and work, bc was long a prom] neut mejuher of the Presbyterian Church -long Treasurer of thc Abbeville Bible Society-and activo in all religious meet ings. "A restless activity of body and mind was his most distinguishing char acteristic, and whatever he undertook he performed with every energy ol' his na ture. For many years, the agent hero of prominent Insurance companies, and especially thc superintendent of agencies in the State for the Piedmont cfc Arlington Lifo Insurance Company, his business capacity and energy were daily called into exercise. A more active or success fui agent, we suppose could not be found. And now alter a busy, aiul well spent life, he has been called lo\ his reward, cheered by those consolations, and sus tained by that trust,-which aro to the Christian, asan anchor "both sure and steadfast." E.Nont Ar.7>EN IN KENTUCKY.-A most strange and thrilling romance" in real life has just culminated in this County, and wc hasten to lay its details before our readers. It appears that a short time pre vious "to the breaking out of thc rebellion, a young married man named Eldridge Miller, with his wife and two very small children, emigrated from Galloway Coun ty to Arkansas. When the war came on, he enlisted in the Confederate army, and soon after was taken prisoner in action and sent to a Chicago prison. After remain ing confined there for some time, ho was released, on condition that he should enlist ito go Weat and fight the Indians. He had not been in the West long before he was taken captive by the red skins. After a long and weary capitivity o? years, he at length made his escape.and returned to Arkansas. Meanwhile, his wife, suppos ing him to he dead, had left there and joined her relatives in Henry County, Tennessee; and here, after .searching for her in vain in Arkansas, the long-lost hus band came some two weeks ago in quest of her and his children. He found her living at Crossland, in this County, but no longer bt -longing to him.? A man "named Wm.Schr?der,a widower with nine chil dren, and formerly a C alloway countian, had become enamored-of her in* Arkansas, and,' following her to Tennessee, had linnlly prevailed upon her to many and remove with him to this County. Finding her again married, he did not seok to induce her to return to him, but merely laid claim lo his children. These were refused him, mid he instituted suit to recover them. The case was to have had a hearing on Monday last, but on the Sunday previ ous, at the'woman's instance, there was a private interview between her and her first husband, which resulted in their elop ing together, leaving Schr?der in thc lurch, and going, it is supposed, back to Arkan sas.

Ho immediate!}' we; work and decoyed into his s. bernes of lany the following named young 1 John Ramsey, Thomas Willis, Hoi Long and Dol Roney. Becoming des ate from his failures in South Carolin; selected as the theatre of. his op?rai the neighborhood of this place. ' On Friday night hesenI John Ramsey, Th as Willis and Dol Roney to plunder house of the above named family. E ard Long was to have been one of party, but failed to secure conveys ?roni the testimony elicited it seems Dol Roney furnished the wagon, and party then stole a buggy from Dr. Holland, and left this place about o'clock, drove'twelve miles, committed robbery, and returned a little while bc daylight. Willis knocked at the d and when asked by Mr. Evans who there, gave tm assumed name of some ?zen living in the neighborhood. Evans suspected the ch jracter of his t tors, and ' e'd tho door until his wife m a light in ' fireplace. When the t was opei. \ a pistol was presented to breast by <. ;e of the party, who doma ed his money ; another presented a pi to the breast of Mrs. Evans, and requ ed her to keep quiet at thc peril ol' life. They told Mr, Evans that they killed some negroes in South Carolina ; that they must have his money, and fi ed him to unlock his trunk and took \ session of about eighty dollars in gold ! about two hundred and seventy doll in currency. They also appropriatee pistol and knife. About daylight C lain C. V. Hamilton and Howard JA met the parlies at a bar-room, and Han ton received one hundred dollars and Lc , twenty dollars of thc ill-gotten boo and alter a .'.rinking carousal, Willis, j carelessly handling his pistol, acciden [ shot Hamilton, inflicting a slight won in his side, "just above the nip. Tl then agreed to meet at Hamilton's re and have a division iomc lime in I evening. Early that morning business requh Mr. E. M. Lsry to go to Goodrich & Usr mill in the immediate neighborhood Mr. Evans, and while they were tiring get iii) a clue to the affair, a grandson Mr. Evans, thirteen years-old, said he si tho mask fall off of one of the men. a he recognized Tom Willis. Upon this ? ?crt ion, Mr. Usn" made haste to Thom sun, and found Willis drinking and ?pon in;: muney with great prodigality, ( the day of the night the robbery was coi milted, Mr. Usry s .sun had required Hal ilton to sell him a mule for a debt he w owing his father, and when he broug the mule he promised that if he paid t money nt any time the next day he won ret uni thc iiiu!e to Hamilton. On Sat? .Jay morning, after Hamilton was sup]' ed with money by thc robbery, and aft he was wounded, he sent for young Usr and Mrs. Hamilton handed hun th? Sit She remarked that her husband waa dis ?pied from business, she would give hi her money that sin; hud laid un to p; their board, lo redeem thc mule. Aft this circumstance and Willis's spend ir money so profusely being made known, i< gel her with thc clew obtained by M I siy, they were immediately arreste Sometime during thc night Willis made confession, and by daylight this (Sunda; morning all* thc parties, except John Ran ey, who gave leg bail, were arreste About ten o'clock thc preliminary tri: was opened before justices Johnson an Hobbs. Willis and Roney made full an complete revelations of the whole affai and tlie result is that Willis, Roney an Long have been committed for a felon that cannot bc surpassed for boldness < execution and yet so open to detection. On account ol' Hamilton's wound li was not ready for trial, having no comise and he has been allowed until three o'cloc to-morrow (Monday) evening to oblai counsel and prepare for trial, an accour of which I will write to you and whatev cr else may turn up interesting. Plant Provision. Thc following from the Kew York- Fi nancial Chronicle tells tho truth ver pointedly : We arc informed by our correspondent in every portion of thc colton-growiiij States that preparations for the next crr>] arc being made on a very enlarged scale and wc lear unless this disposition to ex pand receives some check tue South wil lind that the coming year's work has re suited in their growing poorer instead o richer. Of course, it is not desirable, an< in fact it would be a very short sightet policy to keep the supply of Americai cotton short ; but at thc same time, is i not worth while for thc planter, who i? giving up everything to cotton, to consid er what sacrifices he is willing to acccp for the purpose of furnishing thc worlc more than it can consume. First. It ii well to . remember thal provisions havi been cheaper this year than they are like ly to bc another twelve months. Prices for pork and corn have ruled extremer) low. This has-been very favorable for the South, and has enabled tho planter to raise the present crop at a much smaller cosl than any crop air.ee thc war. HighesI prices to bo paid fer supplies is a point worth considering. Second. From every side we learn.that there is to bc a lavish use of fertilizers-judiciously used on a limited planting would most likely result in a gain; but from the evidence received we fear that on this point the experience of 1S70 ?5 to be repeated, resulting ina further increase in the expense account. Third. Then again, with a very large crop, thc cost of the labor?o wo ri it will bc in creased. Contracts are at present, we un derstand, being made with the freedmen at'about last year's rates; but when the busy season comes and extra help is called in, there will be increased competition, and consequently increased wages to be paid. Herc, then, are three causes operating to enhance thc cost of the present crop to j thc planter. Fourth. On thc other hand, suppose a five million crop is received, what can we reasonably expect the price will bc ?. Planters, we know, are, many of them, deceived by the high quotations : now ruling, and believe that this year is, in that respect, to repeat itself. Thc truth, ! however, is that consumption cannot in ! one year be. very largely increased ; the j spindles must be made before they can be run. With a good season, then, for grow ing, and with a supply from America con siderably in excess of any possible con sumption, and with other countries, too, growing all they tan, aa 'we have every reason to believe they will, it cannot very difficult problem to determine v the average price, will be. And wit very poor price for cotton and all the wi and corn and provisions to buy, in v condition is another wirier likely to lc the planter? Is there not enough in tl suggestions to lead the planter to see folly of giving up all his land to colt Would it not be wiser to raise all the t you want, and after that raise all the tem you can economically. Presidential Prospects. The Washington correspondent of New York Herald, under date of 19th, says: Tho recalcitrant republicans have b contemplating a conference for some we to agree upon a plan of action in viev the coming campaign. For one rea and another no full meeting of the disc tented patriots was had till to-day, thot several abortive meetings were previou held and the whole political situaiion c vassed. . ' The first meeting of any significa: was held at Mr. Sumner's house, that c tinguished Senator expressing himself f ly and clearly as to the course wh ought to be adopted. Mr. Sumner was opinion that Grant was stronger with I peopl'i than is desirable, and that to sure success in the canvass it will be n essary to go before the people to derm strate the misdoings of the Preside This did not have a very cheering eff on the assembled braves, and they hesi ted till to-day, when they decided to se one of the discontented Senators to C. cinnati to confer with General Cox a other leaders of thc new movement in : gard to the Liberal Republican Con vc tion. It is understood that Senator Ti ton will be entrusted with this missie The intention is to have a grand convc lion, and every effort will be made to i cure full delegations and a large atte dance. The conferences, so far, have i eluded only tlic recalcitrant Senators, I members of the House not yet bavi sjiown the courage to kick out of t traces, though Governor Blair, of Miel gan, and a few others have been talki] very earnestly and loudly for some tin The Conference busied itself more wi discussions of the best way to get a crov at Cincinnati than with the principles candidates of the coalition, which, it expected, will be formed. Sumner, Trur bull, Schurz, Fenton and Tipton were thc Conference on Saturdav and most them again to-dry. They have agreed n to abide by the*action of the Pkiladelph Convention if it nominates Grant, but look to Cincinnati fora candidate and su ces3. A disposition lo accept Judge Dav as the candidate is manifested; Cut ?th .matter is held in abeyance.. Mr. Sumner is understood lo favor Di .vis as the candidate, and to say that if h advice is taken and the canvass vigorous pushed that even Massachusetts can I carried against Grant. Mr. Schurz equally sanguine of the German elemen The unhappy Senators believe that Park' will not accept the nomination of the li bor party for Vice President, and that th place will bc given to the Cincinnati Coi volition if it decide to ratify Judge Da'vi nomination. Fenton will probably n ceivc thc nomination if this course I adopted. The election in New Hampshire has n< dampened the ardor of the enemies of Pre ident Grant, and the democrats accept as a decree of the inevitable necessity of coalition with the discontented republ cans. They see no hope for the dcrcocrc cv as a party, and express themselves tc night as heartily in favor of the actio contemplated by the recalcitrant republ: can Senators in their conferences on Sat urdav and today. The New Ilampshit election was waited for by all parties as a index of strength, and while thc friends c th? administration are jubilant and asset that Grant will be elected by an over whelming majority, its enemies are no inclined to look onfavoiably upon th silttali-m, and declare that the rep?blica] victory in that Statu will provoke renew? opposition and concentrate all thu hostil elements. Al the same time there is no disguisinj the chagrin of both thc democrats and th discontented republicans with tho nomina tion of Judge Davis. Trumbull was lb choice Bf all the meu who tonk part, ii the beginning, in tho movement for a coal i lion, and they give him np not withou bitterness, and only give him up becausi (hey seo in Davis their only chance of sue cess. This is understood io be the reasoi for no decided movement in behalf of i candidate and tho bending of every oner gy to make the outward demonstration a Cincinnati imposing. A strong movement against Mr. Colfa as the republican candidate for Vice-Pres ident is developing, and a combination i? forming to make Senator Scott, of Penn sylvania, the second man on the ticket This course, it is declared, will bc general ly acceptable to the Eastern States anc conciliate all thc hostile clements in Penn sylvania, satisfying Tom Scott, Cameroi and Forney, and even healing the Mc Clure breach in Philadelphia: The eleva tion of Senator Scott to the Vice-Presi dency would make a vacancy in the Senat,? which could be given to Forney without disturbing Cameron. It is generally un derstood that the White House is unfa vorable lo Colfax, and if he is beaten thc nomination will probably be gi ven to James F. Wilson, Henry Wilson or Senator Scott, This is a new element of trouble, and it is impossible to tell what may come of it. Judge T. J. Mackey visited lins place on last Saturday.for the purpose of mak ing arrangements for a permanent resi dence. He secured the house in East Chester that belongs to Mrs. S. E. Al bright, and expects to move his family herc bv thc first of April. He was called upon during his stay 1?y nearly all the members of-the bar, and impressed them favorably as to his determination to do his whole duty as an upright and indepen dent Judge. He is bold and out-spoken on the outrageous violations of law that have been enacted by thc Federal authori ties under thc pretended sanction of the Enforcement Act. It is his avowed pur pose to impress upon the Gram] Juries in his Circuit the duty of finding true bills against all the Federal officers who have arrested citizens without warrants. This is an issue wc would be glad to Bee made. -Chester Reporter. NOTICE! IHAVE this day associated with mo in the Grocery and Commission busi ness, Messrs, RICHARD SUMMER ALL and P. M. MTJLHERIN. .
