PANY.-ThisU the mme of a flourishing New York Ufe insurance company wblch has adopted soveral new features Into Es plan. By a recent enactment of the Legislature of tho State of No v York, the charter of tho company ha i been so altered tint the entire profits of tbe com? pany will be returned to the poli y holders. The non? forfeitable principle is applied to all its premiums, and is embodied ii tue watten policy. Loans or credits in anticipation of dividends aro granted to the amount of one-third of each annual premium, and such loans aro indorsed upon the policy, no notes being required. It bas now assets to the amount of $1,600,000, and that amount is rapidly in? creasing. Mr. Walton H. Peckham, of New York, ls the President, and the list of dhectors contains some -of the best names in business in th's country. Mr. G. A. Fudiokar, tho superintendent, is at present in Savannah, haying passed through this city a few days ago. Mr. Geo. Keim, thc general agent tor this State, and Mr. It. Issertol, the agent for <-hario3ton, are popular and activo men, and will doublions ra? pidly advance tho interests of the company. Dr, Reentfjerna, thoexamiuing physician, is a resident of this city, and lia s his office io Hasol-strset near the Postoffl.ee. THE CHARLESTON HOTEL.-To say that tho Charleston Hotel is tbe hanJtomest hotel in the city would be doing injustice to its magnificent pro? portions and imposing appoaranco. It is the hand? somest hotel in tho South, and it) appearance will compa-o favorably with that of any hotel of the name size in any of tho large Northern cities, The men who built it were Cliarlcstontans, and they were determined to make it woithy cf the name it wasdes ined to hoir, and they succeeded. Charles toiftnay well bo proud of t ic Charleston Hotel. For many years now it lins represented her hospitality and her enterprise, nur] has piven to thousands of strangers their mest ia*tiag impressions of thc city, and tho hundreds ol' Northerners now daily passing through tho city on prospo ting tours on pleasure triLS form much higher opinions of the wealth ard importance cf Charleston on account of its having such a splendid hotol, than they would if they wore compelled to stay a. a se-jond or tblrd class house. It is thoreforo ol ihe greatest Importance to the city that the Charleston Hotel should bo in tho hands of a compote:;t manager, for it ls not every man who can keep an hotel, und tho lair fame and reputation of the city might suffer by its principal hotel falling into tba hr.nds of an incompetent person. On this account somo anxiety his boen felt in tho communi? ty to know who would Bacce d Major Horbach. That ansie y ls relieved this morning by the announce? ment that Mr. E. H. Jackson has assumed the man ageracni. Mr. Jackson ia weil known ns an enter? prising and competent business man, and there can bo no doubt that uador his supt riutendonce the . "Charleston" .will ever maintain and improve its well merited reputation as a first-class hotol. COTTON CHANGING! ROUTE.- WO take tho fol? lowing paragraph from tho HuntsviUe (Ala.) Demo o rat; A gentleman in'orms ub that North Alabama cot? ton ls beginning to chango its route to New Yoik rrom the railroad via Cincinnati to the rall and sea route via rbi ri os ton. '1 he reason of thia change is plainly indicated in the following rates of freight on tho several routes: 'ihe freight via Cinciuna 1, we Understand, la $1 75 per 100 pounds, and via Norfolk $1 Cb, and via Charleston ?142. Other things being equal, the cheapest route is sore to toke the freight Ihe route via Cincinnati ls oil rail; to Norfolk and Charleston, ref poe lively, all rail, and thence to New York by steamer?. If the railroads on the North ern route do not reduce their schedules, Charletton will bear o?r the palm. Wo rr ay add that large quantities of freight are being shipped daily from New York to Memphis and other points in the Weat by way of Charleston. BULLING COTTON.-The editor oi the New? berry Herald gives the following lively sketch of the exploits of a party of Newborn ans: Arriving in Charleston, these irrepressible New. berry bulls went among the bears and f JUght lt out to the tone of $15.010 or $30,000, purchasing, in lots, over a thousand bales, and dis o sing of the aame to? gether with .previous transactions, at a premium of from ten to eighteen dollars per bale. One lot par* i chased was a rise of four hundreJ bates. The Charles, ton cotton market on Saturday afternoon WAS the most excited that wo had seen in a long time. Many ?of the sales wer? effected without samples. Tho mar? ket closed that night in a Jubilee-both buyers and ?enera satte ned-the former with a oort in prospect of a further rise, and the latter with their successes. Much ot the cotton bought by newberry was from the Jaegers," and to them resole. That's the way to buy-whon the market's a little dull, at all avant* ere the staple has reached Ita maximum, for after ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.-Tho thanks of THE NEWS aro due to tho Spartanburg wnd I'ulon Rail? road for papero received. THE THEATRE.-There WEB an excoltent house last ovculng to witness tho "Colleen Bawu." Tho audience wore decidedly pleased with tho acting and gave it oe.thu8'nstlc reception.

THE PROPOSED POLICE SYSTEM.-Thc Police bill which has beou introduced imo Council has some capilal leatures, aud somo that aro highly ob? jectionable. Among ibo first may bo enumerated the great reduction iu tho espouse of the force to thociiy, the high quahflcations required for u po? liceman, Ui6 demand of a ceiUflcata from thro3 re? sponsible citizens, arjd thc privilege oho wo 3 to busi? ness men cf employing a private watchman who shall havo tho sane autLority as a policeman. On thc other hmd tho idea of making a street inspector out of tho captain of police and fire marshals out of the lieutenants, is rather preposterous. Thc legiti? mate dui toa of police officers with tho additional work of detectives is sufficiently onerous without piling on that of separate and entirely distinct offices. Tho reduction of the salarie? of the officers is another objection. To obtaiu men competent to do the work assigned by this bill, or oven tho regu? lar police duty BOW Blrvred by double the number of officers, a Irgher salary must bo offered. A good clerk in a rotail dry poods store, in King-street, can make $1200 a year, and it ie absurd to suppose that a man with the brains and energy necessary to make a co mpetcnt captain of po'icc will work for tte sa U.C amount But, perhaps, the most objee tiouablc feature cf thc whole hillls, probably, the provision for employing fifty men exclusively for night duty. They will do soire othsr work in the day. and be sleeping on their posts at Light. It would bo.better far to add twenty-five to the regular force, lt would then be moro competent and mau ageable, and cf course mo.e efficient. INSTALLATION OF THE NEW PRESIDENT OP THE /ETNA STEAM FIEE ENGINE COMPANY.- 1 he regular monthly meeting of the ?Etna Ste tm Fire Engine Corni any took place at their hall last evening. After the dispatch of the business of the evening, a com mit tee, consist?as o< I. 8. K. Ellsworth (the oldest member of the company). J. B. Nixon, J. T. Wilson, I. B. Forbes and T. J Lyonp, was appointed to wait upon Major E. Willis, who had been recently chosen to preside over the company, and conduct bim to the hall. After the 1 .pse of a few minutes they re? turned with the new i res;dent, whose entrance was the signal for long, loud and repeated cheers. The chairman of the committee introduced bim to the company and the retiring president, Mr. J. A Quickeubusb, who received hun in generous terms and congratulated bim oa his el vation to the sos! tion he was about to assume. He Iben stated to him the conditio n of the company, and closed with warm and complimentary welcome. Major Willis replied in eloquent and grateful terms, thanked them for the selection of him as their president, and be gged to assure them that hs would always serve them to the very best of bis energy and ability, and further, as far as it would lie in his power, the w iskes and interests of the company. Great applause fol lowed the extremely pertinent remarks of the new president, and, after lt had subsided, tbs folding doora of the ball were thrown open, and a fine coila hon wis displayed, to which ample justice was done Speeches were made by the retiring president and the ono elect, the repr?sentative of THE NEWS, other invited guests, and members or other organization The evening was most agreeably parsed.

W. J. HERIOT, Secretary. January 7 12 *3~ THE MACHINE, CALLED MAN, IS A very complicated and delictte one, and is more lia? ble to get out of order, and much more difllcult to repair, than soy combination of wheels and cranks an 1 levers made by the hands of man. As a rule, it is tinkered too much, and badly tinkeied at that. It is often calemolizod, norcot zed, depleted, and oth? erwise misused, when a'l that it really needs is a wholesome tonic and restorative like HOS TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS to put lt in proper trim and keep lt so. The stomach is shamefully maltreated. In .he first place, the food which its juices are in? tended to dissolve, is too frequently thrown into it hastily, and in a half-masticated condition, in which state tho gastric acid cannot properly act upon it. The result is dyspepsia. Thea comes the doctor, and, finding the digestiv* organs weak and the bow? els inert, ho prcceeda to weaken and paralyze still more with drastic purgatives. These tending-as they always do-to produce a salutary change, he tells tho invalid that medical science can do no more for him. This, with all duo deference, is a m istake ono of those mistakes whio'i Talleyrand said wore tantamount to crimes. Wbat the dyspeptic needs it invigoration. Strengthen the stomach with H03 TETTER'6 BIT lERS, and the stomach will strength? en every other port of the human machino, and make it, in common parlance, as good as now. Upon the stato of the digestion deponds, in a measure, the condition of thc whole system. Now, the Bitters are the most admirable toni? known, They consist of the finest vegetable invigorants and restoratives, combined with an unadulterato < stimulant. Tho dyapoptic needs rothlng else to effoct a cure, except o light, nutritious diet, and a fair amount of exor? cise. Even in the abecnoe of those lost mentioned accessories, the tonio and alterativo properties of the prepaiation will wo k wonders, enabling the dyspeptic to digest inferior fare with comparative ease, and to maintain a good habit of body, in spite ai the drawbacks of a sedentary occupation.
