Ail Abe Florist* Railroads tm thc Hands y of a Receiver. We copy the following from the Jacksonville Union of Thursday : Yesterday before Judge Knight, a petition was flied, in the following snits brought on Saturday fast, praying for an injunction and the appointment ot a receiver to take imme? diate possession of the P. & G.. the F. A., and G. C., ted the Tallahassee Bailroads. The snits were brought by the county commission? ers bf Colombia County against Geo. W. Step? son, Edward Houston, J tm es D. W escott, and the Railroad Company, and by James M. Baker and Wilk Call against George W. Swepson. Mil? ton 8. LitUefield, Franklin Dibble, Calvin B. Dibble, John P. Sanndereon, Edward M. Che? ney, John L. BeQua, Alonso Haling and Wm. H. Hunt, joint purchasers of the Pensacola and Georgia, and the Tallahassee Railroads at the sale by the trustees of the Internal Im? provement Fun J. The bills filed tn both cases by the complain? ants charge the most unprecedented and ag? gravated frauds upon the private rights ot the taxpaying people, and noon the public interest of the State, and allege statements showing the most skilful and deeply planned coUusrou and conspiracy on the part of Swepson and his associates, and of tbe purchasers of the F. A. and G. C. Railroad in 1868. Judge Knicht granted the injunction prayed fer in both snits, bot reserved the appointment of a receiver. We understand that Mr. Swepson, of North Carolina, is in possession of both the road*, and that the other purchasers of tho P. and G. Railroad have disposed of a con'.ri liing in? terest in the road to hun. so that virtually Mr. Swepson is the owner of the whole line of rail? road from Jacksonville to Quincy and St. Marks; the purchase of the F. A. and G. C. Railroad having been secured, as is c.arged, for lill OOO, against the original cost of about 9119D.OOO, and the P. and G. and Tallahassee Roads, which cost 53 000,000. for $1.450.000 ot bonds purchased of Swepeon and Houston at about thirty per cent, or about 1435,000 and received by the trastees at pur value. Besides, more than a million acres of land is granted to said porcbasers^by the recent obarler. We do not pretend to elucidito precisely the facts alleged to have attended thesu sale?; bat it is charged that $1,000,000 of the bends pur? chased at about thirty per cent, were turned over to the trustees at par value, and the re? maining $460,060, due OD tbe pnrcbaao money, bas been paid by a mere transfer of receipts between the purchasers and the ti astees, the former being constituted tho agents of the latter to invest that amount, as provided by law, on the interest of the sinking fund, and the investment has been so made, it is alleged, by equally as fraudulent procedure, resalting in the passing of no money whatever to the State from the purchasers. The parp?se of these suits, it is claimed, is to make a complete exposure of what is charged to be a wholesale scheme of traud and corruption attending the Balee of both roads, and Otosely interwoven with their entire opera? tions. J. J. Finley. J. M. Baker, H. Bisbee, Jr., F. A. Dooray, Wilk Call, K. M. Thompson, and William M. Ives, appear as counsel in both ctsee. Sin oe writing the above we learn that Judge Knight nas appointed Captain James W. John? son, of Monticello, receiver, and gran .'ed an order to take immediate possession of the roads, and to operate and manage the same. -The arrival of IS 600 boxes tea at Chicago by the Pacific Road seems to have created quite a frarere. not only ia Chicago, bat in every town and village ot the State, besides many places in adjacent States.

Fall Detail* or trie Terrible Straggle of Friday last, between the Kew York Ball* and tnt: Bears-Frantic Doings in thc Gold Boom-How the Contest was Decided-Scenes and Incidents of the Fray-List or the Wounded-The Trace on .Saturday, ?fcc. The Waterloo of the bulle and bears, on Fri? day last, is fonght over again in the New York papers. The fight was fought and decided just as a faro bank fights a conspiracy of its custo? mers, it was a contest of nerve and confidence 'backed" by long parses. Thc party which had bought up all the gold within reach, and pnt up its price, seemed to be victorious. They displayed their power over all who bad sold I "short" gold, and were busy making trium? phant settlements, and contracting for enor ' mons differences, when some of the wealthiest bankers of the world, whose plans bad been skilfully laid in concert with their European correspondents, carno into the market and offered unlimited amounts of gold at the in? flated pnceB made by the conspirators. This daunted the "balls;" they hesi? tated; and before tbcy could recover their j calmness the price fell nearly twenty per cent. I They then made a stroDg rally, but their rein? forced opponents contested tho ground with new energy and courage, and, in spite of the wild fluctuations, it was evident that there was weakness among the "bulls" which must end in defeat, lt was at this time that the Treasu? ry announced the sale of 14,000,000 of gold on Friday. This announcement doubtless procipi- j tated their retreat ; but they were essentially beaten before. Indeed, bad they not been bro? ken in courage by a private combination, this movement of the Treasury would have been a slight thing for them. But in the hesitation and confusion which the foreign bankers had already pro Inc*d among them, thia new attack from the government left them no hope or con-1 fidence ; and they seem to have surrendered at discretion. THE SCENES AT THE GOLD EXCHANGE Throughout the day was interesting to a stu- j dent of human nature. Hero threats of as? sassination aro exchanged between men who bavo always passed tor sober and quiet bank-1 ers; there, two clerks of leading hims engaged in a band-tO;hand fight, which proves their un- j regulated temper and very imperfect pugilistic training. In the gold room itself some of thc I Oalets lose their wits, and bid insanely f r amounts 1 ke the national debt, at unknown premiums, or declaim wildly about tho "air drawn daggers" that pursue them, lu the J great bankers' offices supposed millionaires contradict one another, with violent language, as to the purport of verbal orders, by which one or tho other or both must now bo mado insolvent; while others, fearful of those whom I their machinations have rained, surround themselves with armed officers, or drive rapid? ly away in close carriages. One oveitaxed brain is consigned to an asylum for the m j sans; another goes home so oppressed by tho terror of financial ruin that it choses rather a l voluntary death. THE GOLD ROOM, j Imagine a little tonntaiu in the centre of the Hippotheatron. The centre of the fountain is J a bronze Cupid, with a dolphin in tts arm?. I From tho bead of Cupid arises a tiny silvor stream, which falls in jets into tbe basin below. Fancy an iron railing, ninety feet in circumference, about this basin; then a space of some twenty feet between tho w?lie and tho fountain; ?od you have a rough idea of the Gold Boom. OJ one side there are '.wo galle? ries -the lower for the errand boys, and the upper for the spectators. We stood in the lower gallery. Beyond the fountain, with his back toward New street, stood the secretary, recording the sales, which he caught by bia ear. Near him is the telegraph operator. Wires ron from his machine to nearly five bun-1 dred brokers'officers, who ?rc thus instantly in? formed of the state of the market, and arri ena-1 bled to make their bids undisturbed by the fu? rious exoitemant which rules in the Gold j Boom on momentous occasions. OPENING OT THE FIGHT. We have described tbe Gold Boom. At 10 A. I M. the board opened, the vice-president in the chair. Usually the heavy gold operators re? main in their offices aud b ise their bids, which they send by messengers, upon the reports re- I ceived by their office telegraphs. Bat the I magnitude ot the fight drew most of the me? ena into the amphitheatre, and they entered upon the combat with th: ferocity of gladia i tors. Among the prominent operators in the arena were Albert Speyer, Henry Clews, Hor? ace Waldo and his brother. Mr. Colgate, of the I firm of Trevor & Colgate; Messrs. Kimoerand I Heiser, and fifty others. The fight opened at 10 A. M., with gold at 150. The bull clique seemed unusually quiet. A quarter of on hour pawed, and 150 was still toe ruling figure. The secretary seemed in no wise overrun with business, and the telegrapher operator worked bis machine and conversed glibly with the by- I Standet 8. THE GRAND CHARGE OF THE BDLLS. It was not until ll o'clock that this compara- I tive monotony was broken ; 150* was bid. The bears began to wince. " Hell's to pay now I " I shrieked a gray-haired man apparently burn? ing over with agony. A hundred fists were shaken at each other over thc little fountain, and an infernal serios of yells filled tho room, l o an outsider it was impossible to distinguish either a bid or au offer. Tho bulls had now began their grand charge. They swe^t the bears before them like chaff. From 150j the metal suddenly jumped to 155 j. This wau un firecedentcd. Men beean to rave and alivieu ike mad dogs. They roeaed about the little fountain in paroxysms of futy. The spe oial wonder was that in the anxiety of the bears to sell and of thc bulls to buy,' so little regard was paid to the last reported quotation. Pnce on both sido3 seemed "no object." ?Len within a few feet ol one another differed widely in prices, and there wr*ro a dozen different quo? tations for the metal in as many parts of the room. Tbe bears gathered in a ero up, and snapped and snarled in turu. 1 he bulls shout? ed with joy. Within fifteen minutes tho pre? mium was forced up to 162?. Tho bears sold very readily to their own clique at 135. when tho market rate w.js 1'30. Tnov refused to sell to the bulis at any price. Much of this traffic among tho bears might have been "washes," ur fictitious sales, reported at lie tires below i tbe market, aud to keep down tho price; and muon also of smaller lots than the big specu? lative blocks which the Dulls were alter. THE CRISIS. Tbue stood matters when Albert Speyer, a leader among tho bulls, threw among thc rav? ing mob the tonptin? offer of 160. Such a marvellous bid. coming from a dealer known to be fully responsible, startled the whole room, and for a few moments no responso was made. But before the thunderstruck auditors could regain tboir equipoise. Jas. Brown, RU equally well known broker and agent, offered to euopiy Mr. 8peyer's wants with one, two, three, tour, and up to five millions. Tho latter amount was promptly accepted. The prompt acceptance of this bid, ahile the bearB were selling to their own crowd at 135 gavo the bulls renewed confi? dence. During the two minutos preceding this bid the market price bad stood at 1624. 162,161, and 160}. Mr. Speyer's bid was accepted under great excitement. The bears, though dismayed, were not panic-stricken. Even in the face of Mr. Spewer's bid, the premium dropped to 159. but quickly rallied to 160. Again it touched 159, aud a third time touched 160. FI EST HINT FROM WASHINGTON. This wavering is easily explained. A promi? nent bull, while wi thia his office watching the telegrams from tho Gold Boom, received a pri? vate dispatch from an employee of the Tieasu ry Department in Washington, informing bira that Boutwell would positively sell $4,000 000 to-day. The rumor rea ob ed the Gold Ro >m just as Messrs. Hallgarten & Co., in view of Mr. Brown's suooes? in placing so large-?u amount at so inviting a price cn the market, had offered a million at the same price. Some of this was taken up by other parties but before tho whole was absorbed the terrible rumor woe circulated throughout the room. Thia instantly paralysed the bu such an extent that tbe price fell to 15c then to 150. Tbe next bid was 48, thc and flaally 40. Then dismay seized the i bera present, for tbe decline meant no less than the ruin of all concerned in the One of the broker* of the clique askei broker who offered to sell "what he int? to do ?" His reply was, "You have been rug all the time and have got the price fleure where I propose to commence to se will sell you any sum under thirl v million 160." TBS SBATH 8TBCGOLE OF THE BULLS. The bulls had gone into the fight fully ptred to take from 110,000,000 to tzO 0OC So asserts one of their clique. They hat taken $7.000 000 when they beard ot Seen Bout well's action. Tbs rapidity of the n mente and the magnetic influence of the Room was too muoh for them. Their fa became giddy, and in a twinkling they control of the market. The $4,000 000 tl of Bontweirs was but a fleabite, but they fearful that hie movement was a preconec one, and that $20,000.000 would be thrown i tbem, if necessary, to crush the market wa 8 not until the rate grounded at 140 they rallied. It was nearly noon. Gold a began to mount the stairs. It sprang fron to 160 at a single jump. The bears acte if a flash of lightning had passed through room. Bedlam again broke loose. The r was filled with sh ricks and corses. In ano jump the metal struck 160. At this pt Duncan, Sherman A Co. let the balle ha large amount, and they took it in seeming Aden ce. THE WATXBLOO. Again came tbe Washington rumor, and time, it was said, direct from the Special Tr ury agent in this city. It was asserted Grant bad ordered Bootwell to sell the a and that he would order bim to sell $50,000 if necessary. AW?V went the market in ano! grand crash, and never recovered anti touched 133. In the street it went lower, bulls were ruined. Men wero midder Speyers grew crazy. His eyes seemed fixei despair. He spoke to his friends in a hu voice, and rushed about tho little fountain if in terror. At length he raised his band, ; shouted hoarsely to tho heated, struggl mass below him. This extraordinary spot cle nearly silenced tbe operators. In a words Speyers accused some unknown pen of an attempt to assassinate bim. '*H< after me now with a big knife." shrieked ', Speyers. "Look, look I " ho continued, "dc yon see the knife? " A* it WSB evident he t ctazed, he was plaoed in a carriage by friends and sen- home. Mr. Speyers was : tho only one made momentarily crazy. One the members of tbo board informed I reporter that nuder the undue excitement felt his mind giving way, a id tooK a Mad;.' avenue stage up Broadway as far ae (Jan street, to recover bis balance. THE NEWS ON THE STELLT. As the news spread tim t gold bad fallen 130. thoro was a rush ot excited men throui Wall.?treot bevond all precedent. Men w< living back and forth in all d.roctions, sot for the Gold Room, others to tho different ?J oes, in a btato of excitement bordering np frenzy. Ii: this ru.-u they would run again each other, knock off cacti other's hats, jun over car's, and did not apocar to heed ar thing. It was a stampede which beat tho 1 moos Bull Run rout. Somo wcro anxious ascertain whetber tho report was true or nc others were rushing to carry tho news to Inc Arms. It would soom that all the banner* ai brokers in Wall and ?road streets wcro onga ed in afoot race, and not particular wbich w, they ran, :*r who they kaooked over in thc flight, lt was cvory maa for himself and tl devil far the hindmost. Any number .of exe ted individuals found themselves sprawling thc streets or on the sidewalks as the resu ot the collision. Business was virtually sn pended in the cotton, sngar and wool market the merchants all going down to New street i see the scenes. TIU BULLS BOUTED. The cry went ap: "Gold has fallen to 130; tl bubble bas buist V Can it bo true beard wt in every direction. Thc moment that it wt confirmed a ?hoot of relief followed, and cia ping ol hands and cheerlul countenances wor seen in every direction. Tho sympathy c nine-tenths of those in the street was a gai nt t be gold clique,and the expression of relief mai ifested was universal. The bulls in gold, whe they saw that they were bc: sn at their game beat a hasty retreat, leaving the bears all t themselves. They remained on the scene lor. enough to pick up what gold could be found i tbe low prices to cover their shorts, and to dc mand of the bull clique tho price which the; had sold to then at. But when they presen1 ed themselves at the places of business of tb bull clique, with gold in band for deliver; the\found the doors nearly all closed. Iii defeat of the balls has been worse than a re volt; it has been a stampede and almost anni bdation. Numerous balls are not only w june' cd bat laid ap ia the hospitals, where the mot skilful treatment will be required for their re lief, and it is more thin probable that a norn ber will be permanently disabled. TEX TELEGRAPH EXHAUSTED. During the culminating operations, thu goli indicator was kept in so rapid use to record ih fluctuati e-ns, as tbe price of the precious mete jumped from 130 to 160 and back again, tint i became heated and tao wire commenced t burn. HOW SOME WEBE DUPED. The bulls refused at first to give np, bu some of the managers were soon so badly dis ablod that they lett mo scene limping; tboi dupes remained and continued to bid the prie up to 160. every time tint it was auuouncct below 140, tor several minutes, lt piled oi them so fist that they, seeing themselves de setted by their leaders, vere compelled ti leave, but rot until they had ruined thom selves by being the dupes of the cliques. I subsequently appeared that these dupes hat beeu bidding gold up to these high price: and agreeing to tako all that was offered, ot mere verbal orders from the managers ufihi clique, without having either margins or ih< principal putup to pay for the same. The rcsul was, tbat the managers, when they found tha they were beaten, repudiated the orders, anc left I heir dupes to bear the load tho best the\ could. They have thus boen compelled u shut up shop, and in many instances will bc obliged to go into a financial quarantine. Thc mauagers, Fisk, Gould & Woodward, thomee who havo boen ut the bottom of this move? ment, have tbus, in a measure, escaped some of tho IJSSSS and a part of tho disaster by re? pudiating tbeu* verbal orders, but havo' lefi their dupes, in many instance-*, permanently disabled. Tbe havoc among thu uulls has thus been fearful, not so much in tho number as it is the enormous character ol' tho wounds that have been inflicted. EXPERIENCE OF A FOBLORN HOPE. During the excitement, Mr. Speyers announc? ed that " he had received an anonymous note coulaining a threat to shoot him ; nut he would now offer 160 tor one or live millions of gold let thu man who wants to shoot COUIJ on if he dares." I bree minutes later he was retreating from the room, completely annihilated, and re? turned to bis office, whore he hal to niiut. bis doors aajd reluso to tsko the gold which bo had bought. Ho subsequently made a statement in thc board that his bid was maa > ou verbal orders nf James Fisk, Jr., and that those of thc day previous were mode upon orders ut Mr. Beiden, and th At his inability to ?uako his con? tracts good arose from the fact that ueilhr-rof those parties had given him any margin. Thisjcircumstanco gives SB good an idea as auv thitic what there was in this gold bubble. It shows that a few inca have boen bidding up thc prices without haviDg fonds to do it with, lt has been a fictitious (nmg, trading without capital, and by a bold and desperate movement it has frightened the street, aud set (hem into selling stocks and buying gold at high prices. A more desperate, disgraceful and diabolical scheme was never before set on foot. AU who saw through it know very well that its Buecess would be of short duration, and that when thc crash carno it would be followed by a feailul tumble. The best firms in tha street kept aloof from the bubble, protected themselves, and waited for the Btot m to pass over. The result is that most of the large furn- remain intact and are in just as good condition as before to proceed with business. LIST OP THE WOUNDED. Among the firms which closed their doors after this conflict are those of Smith, Gould, Martin & Co., Wm. Heath & Co., Albert Spey? ers & Co.. Chase, McClure & Co., Galway Hun? ter & Co., P. fl. Williams. Jr., & Co., Pearl ? Co.. S. M. Waller, E. E. Willard, Wm. Beiden A Co.. F. Grimbernat & Co., Underhill & Ha? ven, Doming ? Boocock. Some ot these will in all probability prove permanent failures, especially those who gave bids on verbal or? ders of tho managers. A CURIOUS INCIDENT. Ae one of the incidents of the day. we met a gentleman from the country, who came to the city to sell $1200 io gold, which ho had io bis pocket. He went to all the firms which are in the habit of purchasing gold over their coun? ters, and was elated over the price which ho expected to get. Bnt to bis surprise he could not find any party willing to purchase, and was unable to get even five cents offered for $1200 in gold. This shows the ficti ions motives or the balls, and how well the scheme was under? stood by dealers. Being satisfied that the bub? ble would break disastrously, and uuablo to tell what gold was really worth or how much it would be safe for them to give, therefore re? fused to purchase at any price. THE TBUOE OX SATCBDAY. Ihe Evening Post of Saturday says : SJThere is much excitement in Wall street today, but it is not so great as jes terday. A truce bas been proclaimed, and the result of yesterday's engagement will not be known until Monday, when the ac? counts of the Gold Exchange Bank will be made np. Yesterday it was said that the operators on the street would be able to take all the gold the government mignt place on the market, but to-day strong efforts have been made to induce the government not to sell the four millions advertised. The result of the struggle may bo divined from the fact that the only failures thus far announced are among the mon who conspired to advance gold. CURRENT NOTES. -It has beeu calculated that, in actual waste of tissue, one hour of mental labor is equiva? lent to four hours of ?hysical exertion. By this method of computation it is evident that if the Harvard oarsmen had ci ven their whole minds to their work thoy would only have been beateu by a second and a half. A more im? portant application of the principle, however, is that if the eight'hour movement succeeds, bra in-workers, such as journalists for example, will have a logical claim to call two hours a day's woik. -A French physiologist has been experi? menting with tbeine and caffeine (the active principles of tea and coffee.) upon animals, and affords us tho pleasing information that tho latter is twice as poisonous as the former; but that, to compensate for its inferior viru? lence, th?ine prodU:CB "convulsivo movements in the limbs" which are not observed from the action of caffeine; so that we must either con? fine ourselves t J half cups of coffee or run the risk of uecomiDg spadmodic. Ihe comforting assurance is given, however, that doses of many grummet) may be taken by mau with im? punity. -English women ?oem disposed to show that they eau do some things as well as men. At the recet.t annual dinner of thc Badminton Farmers' Club, Hie Duchess of Beaufort took fae chair, thc Dnko, ker husband, the president of tho dub, who ehould have presided, having b.en callod away by important business. Tbe Doblo chairwoman announced tho usual toasts in thc proper mmner, and replie 1 to tho drink" mr of linr. own health with a brief but pointed little speech.

A ?umber ot other ladies were present at the dinner, and, it is conceded, rendered Hie pro? ceedings not ono whit less lively. -It would bc a good thing for men and wo. meo were they taught, in childhood, to use their left hands equally with their right. The use of the right h ind only for certain actions suth as writing and working with mccbanioal tools-is entirely convectional, and lhere does not appear to be any reason why people should not bo ambidexter in every kind of manual wort. PeiBons who have lost their right hr.nd~ by accident frequently acquire great facility with the left, after some practice, but grownup persons have not always the patienoe to betake themselves to the necessary practice. By children, ibo thing would be acquired insensi? bly, if means were taken to load them to the practico of it. Children living in houses where two languages aro spoken acquire both with great facility, and what is true of tongues would be equally so of bands. -It is announced thai a literary undertak? ing of vast extent has bean projected by a so? ciety of savana in Paris, having for its object tbe reproduction of all the masterpieces of lit? erature which bave appeared in ancient aud modern times.

Hil Valet** Account It ie interesting, saya tue Pall Mall Gazette, of September 9, at tbe present time to recall the account elven of the last moments of Lord Byron by his servant Pletchor. Fletcher says: Although his Lordship did cot appear to think his dissolution was 'so neo/, I could per? ceive he was getting weaker every hour, and he even bogan to have occasional fits of deli? rium. He afterwards said, "I now begin to think I am seriously ill ; and in case I should be taken off suddenly, I wish to give you sever? al directions, which I hope you will be particu? lar in seeing executed." 1 answered I would, in case such an event came to pass, but ex? pressed a hope that he would live many years to execute them much better himself than I could. To this my master replied: "No, it is now nearly over;"and then adde.: "I must tell yon all without losing a moment." I then said, "Shall I go, my Lord, and fetob pen, ink and paper?' "Oh, my God I DO; you will los9 too much time, and I have it Dot to spare, for my time is DOW short," said his Lordship; and immediately after: "Now, pay attention." His Lordship commenced by say inp: "You will be provided for." I begged him, however, to proceed with things of more consequence. He then continued: "Oh, my poor dear child! My dear Adah 1 My God 1 oould I but have seen her 1 Give ber my blessing-and my dear sister Augusta and her children; and you will go to Ltdy Byron and say-tell her everv thing; you oro f.iends with ber." His Lord? ship appeared to be greatly affected at this moment. Here my master's voice failed bim, so that I could only catch a word at intervals; but be kept muttering something very seri? ously tor some time, and wonld often raise kis voice and say, "Fletcher, now if you do not execute every order which I have given yon, I will tormontyou hereafter, if pos? sible." Here I told bis Lordship, in a state of the greatest perplexity, that I had not under-1 stood a word of what he had said; to which he ' replied, "Oh, tay God I then allis lost, for it ia now too late I Can it be possible you have Dot understood me?" "No, mv lord," said*I; "but I pray you to try and inform me once moro." ' How can I ? " rejoined my master ; "it is now too late, and all is over." 1 said, "Not our will, but God's be done ;" and he an? swered, "Yes, not mine be dono, but I will try." His lordship did indeed make several effortp to speak, but could only repeat two or throe words at a time, such as "My wire I my child I mv sistoi I you know all-you must say all-you know my wishes." The rest was quite unintelligible. Lord Bvron shortly afterward fell into a lethargy, which onded by death-bis last in? telligible words boing, "I must sleep DOW." The following extract from "Modwin's Conver silion8 of Lord Byron," will probably interest Mr?. Beecher Stowe. Speaking of Americans, his Lordship said Americans aro thc only people to whom I never refused to show myself. The Yankees arc great friends of mi io. " I wish to bo well thought of in the other Bide ot the Atlantic; not that I am better appreciated there than on thia; perhaps worse.

To the People of South Carolina: The above Company was organ zed In 1866, in consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Southern policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled success of the enterprise has forced several of these companies lo restore their Southern policies, irom the fact that they could not operate in our midst without the appearance of honesty. We keep all onr money at home to build up onr Impoverished country-every dollar of premium being safely Invested in the State from which it ls de? rived. The institution is purely Southern, and nonce should appeal with great force to the patriotism and and sympathy of every Southern heart. . 'Tis not our purpose to make war on other com? panies, but io exhibit th? special advantages offered by this purely Southern Company-founded on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to liabilities-the true test of a company's strength-ls second to none on this continent, being nearly $300 to $100. Wuenever and wherever wo have presented the claims of thia Company, it baa not only eultsfed the sympathies of our people, hut bas also secured their hearty co-operation. Wc have secured COO policies in South Carolina slnco the 10th of February. We number among our Directors General Wade Hamp? ton and Colonel Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well known io every citizen of South Carolina. We ap? peal personally to tho people of South Carolina to assist in pushiag forward this deservedly popular Southern institution. J.
