COLUMBIA, Si C. Tue*d?y Morai??, Angrust 10,1869. A View Phase of tbe Mont KxUi\orUln?ry Revolution of Motive* Time?. . . Tho Mobile Register, ol the Otb, re? ferring to the recent election in tb nt Dis? trict, saja: K * "The Democratic nominee for Con? gress in this Distriet bss been beaten beaten not by the radical whites and their negro Blavoa, but by the-white men who bare : thought proper to absent themselves from th? pol?n: If tue non? voting white men Q? M?bijo, Selma and Oonecr.h County Imd como to the polls, we slio uki bot only bave o vor come the 8,00Q. .?r ^OOO. vot?es by^bicb we were beaten iu ibo Presideutial election, but we could bate turned np a majority of 2,000 or 8,000 on the other side for Col. Mann. Tho Barn of it is, that we have for mis-representot?voj f rom this District a former officer of a negro regiment, n carpet-bag interloper and incendiary of the; first water, instead of a once Federal officer, but now Demodtot, true friend of the downtrodden South, and a faith? ful representative of the people. Let the blame restawbere it belongs. We sholl not, in response to the general in? dignation, indulge in denunciation of those white men. We feel as sensibly as any the grievous humiliation to which they have subjected us, and the new dangers they have opened up for us in tho future. We think these gentlemen will find out that they did have 'an inte? rest' in this ?lection.* Their conrse and its resulte will be sore to give rise to an entirely new train of reflection in the minds of that portion of our people who will not and cannot endure the perma? nent dominion of white aliens and black r barbarians. They are already asking themselves, are we forever to be the i bondsmen and serfs of an invading gang [ of plunderers-the insolent white sonni tbat Northern radicalism ba? vomited upon us? This question, and its answer, flow logically ont o? the events, thoughts and feelings of the last four years. The reasoning takes this form : We have, as a people, been patient, obi bow patient! for years; because wc looked to a united people at home, and to a more generous feeling at the North, for relief from oar intolerable burthens. It uever entered into our plans or purposes to endure the present condition of affairs forever. But now that, after four years of endurance, we find ourselves deserted by enough of our own people to secure, the ascendancy of C. B; rule over us, we are forced to look about for other and new remedial measures. Those of us who mean to bo free, at all hazards, must do one of two things-either, first, desert this C. B. and negro-cursed land, and find a home whoso air we eau breathe without sti? fling, or we must resort to the ultima ratio, and drive oar tyrants away. Had tho white delinquents at the polls come to the front, there bad been no occasion for thoughts like those. The majority of this people mean to have their liber? ties, and if blood comes of it, its stain will be upon the garments of those who, having before them a peaceable solution ; of tho country's difficulties, aud refusing to aid in it, have forced men to think of sterner remedies. /'These reflections lead us to believe that we have entered upon a new phase of this extraordinary revolution, and that the years to come will not bo tu quiet as those that have passed. It ii not in the nature of mea, especially ol men of our race, to sit down supinely while they are taxed to a confiscation o! their property by a handful of strangers, .Brutes will fight for their lites, theil food aud their young, and our homes, our subsistence for wives and child rei ; are threatened; and whten liberty i? thrown into the scale with the means o: livelihood, and when we aro boldly toll if we do not like it, we can nbandou oui country, an issue? is presented that is no long debatable When that issuo come: to bo made up-and it is immiuent-i is one that a spark may n* ?.:;v momen tildie into a conflagration-our non voting w h i to people will discover thu they hud some internst in the lato elec tion. They will have to fight, wherea they only had to vote. lu what we hav< written above, we doubt not that w< have given true expression to tb thoughts that are struggling for utter? ance in the minds and hearts of th i people. "lu the present exasperated conditio) of the public mind, wo enjoiu prndenc as a necessity for tho pence of social; arid trio triumph of right over wrong Iiulividual passionate outbreaks will di barm, and harm only. When the peopl speak and act, they must do it authori tntivoly. This caution is especially t be heeded by the handful of C. Bagger iu the community. Let them beware o the last feather that breaks the camel' back." Speaking of the effects of non-voting it says: "We respectfully recommend to tb white non-voters on Tuesday last to al tend the glorification meeting of C Baggers ana negroes to-night, aud to bc hold the fruits of their 'masterly i mu tivity.' They will boar such eontimcnl as these, which were actually delivorc at their meeting: 'The rebels,' saj one speaker, 'complain that we tax thei too heavily. Well, wo are going to pr it on thcr.t stronger. Wo must ha\ plenty of money to develop the Statt If the rebels don't like it, and can't pa] let them turn over their property to us "The rich non-voters will see confisoi tion in this utterance. Another spoake: Buck, who lins been mudo n Congres mau, by your staying at home, said: .] there isn't room in Alabama for the lt? publicans and the rebels, let thc rebe move away and clear out.' Aro the noi voters prepared to abandon their estate and country? But now that this Di trict has been given up to them, ot nou-votcrs will hear worse sentimon , than those wc have quoted.

An amend? ment to tho 19tU section of, tho law adopt edin 1867, is aa follows: ??TEaTlhe" UKee" bTTraeoma heroln'tm-i posed, shall bo levied on the that day of Murch, and be due and payablo on or before tho 30tb Jay of April in each year until 1870, ft ml no longer." Unless, therefore, Cou gross , by special enactment extend? the operation of this law, the income, tax-gatherer will be un? known in this country after 1870. EDITOR ATLANTA CONSTTTUTION: YOU have generously tendered the nse cf ?'onr columns, that I may reply to a ma ici ons attack, made by the Insurance Times, of New York, upon an institu? tion, with1 which many honorable gen? tlemen, in this and other Southern States, are connected. Until suggested by friends not connected with the South? ern Life Insurance Company-the insti? tution assailed-I had not thought it ne? cessary to reply, and for the following reasons: First: All the agents of the Southern Life bad been directed to use the article in question as the best canvassing docu? ment with whioh they could bo armed. In the next place, I had supposed that a journal whioh had no regard for f ruin, and the endorsement of which ia a mat? ter of mere bargain ana sale, would pro? duce nc other eSeot by its attack, than the one realized, viz: the strengthening of the "Southern Life." I had supposed that no Southorm man could bo influ? enced by tho statements of a journal which had published, as I had shown iu a former card, twelvo wilful, unmitigated falsehoods, in the short space of sixteen lines. In the next place, it had occur? red to me, that the very animus of this editor, which is so patent, his hatred of everything Southern, his contemptible thrust at the incapacity of tho Southern people to manage lifo insurance, his meek suggestions in another article of the same paper, that all Southern and Western companies give up the business of life insurance to tho North, and his complaint of our olanishness, because, forsooth, wo presumed to retain South? ern money in Southern States, would have been a sufficient answer for every Southern man. For these reasons I had thonght it unnecessary to write. At the suggestion of friends, however, I reply briefly. The Times evidences its ignorance of facts, or its total disregard of truth, or both, by its reference to Gen. Gordon F. Granger as agent for this company. It is, however, as well supported hero as elsewhere in its article. Gen. Granger has not now, nor ever had, any connec? tion whatever with this company. The Times says the loases of the South? ern Life have been heavy, and compares it with certain picked companies from the North. The losses have been heavy, but tho business has been heavy too. If a merchant does one million of profita? ble business, does ho not expect greater loss in bad debts, otc. , than another who does one-tenth of the business? If a life company insures 5,000 lives, must it not have, of necessity, a larger number of its insured die, than another which insures only 500 lives? The Southern Life lost moro than its picked company -the Great Western-but it did vastly more business. Why did not tho editor of thc Times givo tho amount of busi ness done by each, thc amount of loss by each, aud thou draw the comparison? Does not tho merest child in figures un derstuud this to bo the only way to get at the ratio o? loss? Yes; but it did not suit the purpose of the Times.. Let tho facts be known. This picked company is shown by the New York reports of 1808, to have received 800,247, and to have paid out thc same year in cash, 863, 417. Thus ?xpendiug absolutely over 83,000 moro than it received. While tho Atlanta Dcpartmont on gross premiums to the amount of nearly 8200,000, spent in losses and expenses of every descrip? tion, ouly 39 per cent, of its receipts, and the whole company increased its as? sets-in six months-over 8126,000. He sides, tho Times knows, as every insur? ance man does, that losses equalize them? selves in the course of years-so that the general average is preserved. This is the foundation of all lifo tables. As il? lustrative of this, tho Atlanta Depart? ment, in its immense business, receiving nearly 1,000 applications has sustained but one loss-Amos E. Ward, for 810,000 -since its organization, and the other departments losing in but little greater ratio. Hence, the heavy accumulation. Yet, in the estimation of the Times, tho Southern Life is unsound, and tho Great Western perfectly good. Why so? Tho animus of the article furnishes the solution. Tho one is Southern-tho other Northorn. Again this honest sheet, seeing tho absurdity of its position, seeks to stab the Southern Life by attucking the integrity of its officers. It says tba statement of our assets is "cooked up" that is, fixed up to deceive-not true. In other words, tho officers of this company, in swonring to tho statement of assets and liabilities, sworo falsely-perjured them? selves. Does ho iutimuto that by any possibility, the officers of his pet com? panies could "cook up" statements? No! How is this? Again, the animus of his paper furnishes tho reply. One set of officers aro Southern-tho other Northern. The Times says the Southern Lifo is oue on the high road to bankruptoy, but its pets aro all sound. What do the figures show? That the Southam Life has 8300 for every 8100 of liability, whilo the largest companies in the North have less than 8150 of liability; yet, in the estimation of tho Times, the South era Life is bankrupt, and hi? oompanie* perfectly sound. How sot Again, let ;the animas- at that pap?* jiaswer. The bnejis ?ou?ern-the other Northern. Th4f gist ^of , tho controversy is this tlemen who r?putations art? identified with this institution'ate to te believed, ortho Times. Or, if Ootsia*JtoptTmony is preferred, the Tim*c? or thTHtohthertr press., , The Times says tbe Southern Life is -"totelly-iHieouad.-" - ~- ? The Memphis Appeal says: "Its assets nr? now over $500,000.1 * * * * It deserves the patronage of the Southern people, and its business shows that it is? getting it." The Memphis Avalanche is equally strong in its endorsement. The Atlanta Intelligencer says: "This company, we do not hesitate to say, is one of the most reliable as wall as suc? cessful in not only the South, but in thc whole country." The Constitution says: "By its relia? bility, liberal features, and its patriotic object, it is achieving a sucooss unpa? ralleled in the annals of life insurance." The Louisville Courier says: "With ample capital and large surplus, it ot once guarantees to polioy holders perfect se? curity," and arges Southern peoplo to patronize it, because it retains tho money at home. I might fill whole columns with ex? tracts from leading journals in South Ca? rolina and elsewhere, but those luay an? swer for an offset fo>* tho Times-possi? bly. Tb** Times, however, charges that- we pay for these pnfiV. But is the Times paid for its puffs? Oh, no. These jour? nals can be bought; tho Times cannot. How is this? Plainly the ?uswer must be-these are Southern, that Northern. Bnt I deny that one cent wnsjever paid for any endorsements I have quoted. I did pay pome of the Southern papers to insert a former card in reference to this sume card, others would receive nothing. I propose to contiene to pay to got these facts before tho people. Tho Southern Life is able to pay: it will make money by spreading them before thc country, and it will continue to do it. Tho Tiines will find, I imagine, that it has undertaken a difficult task, in trying to teach the people of these States, that there are not brains or integrity enough in tho South to manage lifo insurance; that the officers of this company, at Mem? phis, have sworn falsely; men, whose high and responsible positions as railroad and bank presidents, indicated tho un? limited confidence of the country in their common sense, integrity and financial ability. It will not bo easy to convince the South that the long list of Southern gentlemen, connected with this institu? tion, are engaged in n grand scheme to defraud and swindle the widows and or? phans of the South ; or that they will settle less fairly with policy holders than companies from the Times' section some of whom boast of accumulated mil? lions by the forfeiture of rebel policies who have one price for the North, an? other for the South, and who have en? deavored to purchase the policies of rebel widows for a contemptible pittance of the sum insnred. He mistakes the Southern people when he supposes them so ignorant of life insurance, as to be? lieve a company from the North, with less thau $150 of assets to $100 of liabili? ty is stronger and safer than a Southern company, which has $300 for every $100 of liability. Or when ho imagines tho South so North struck as to believe, be? cause a company hails from that section, it can pay its president, as a salary, 825,000 of the policy helpers' money, and another cCTcrs agents forty-five per cent, commissions, and yet be more eco? nomically and better managed than a Southern company which pays its presi? dent-who in financial ability is the poer of any-only $3,000, and its best agents less than one-half of the above commis? sions; or that a company from tho North, which pays fifty to fifty-seven per cent, to its stockholders, is better for thc in? sured thau the Southern Life, which not? withstanding its rapid accumulations, has not paid one dollar to its stockhold? ers, but has paid forty per cent, to its policy holder?. The Times began the war upon South? ern institutions, and strikes the Southern Life only because it is the pioneer. The success of this compnny has ohecked tho drain of money from our section, hence tho Tinies' complaint of our sectionalism. We make our humble acknowledgments of being intensely sectional, if an honest effort to retain Southern money at home be sectional. lu conclusion, I acknowledge my in? debtedness to tho Times for the opportu? nity he has afforded of getting these facto before tho peoplo. The Southern Life invites its further attacks. If tho solid assets of this company, and its patriotic purposes, do not commend ii. to the con? fidence and support of or.r people, it will never ask the aid of the Times, If such sheets cnn destroy the confidence of the Southern people in the directors and stockholdere of this company, then, in? deed, have these gentlemen lived to little purpose. Respectfully, JOHN B. GORDON, President Atlanta Department Southern Life Iusurunce Compnny. TUE Loss OF TUE STLAMSIUr UNITED KINGDOM.-Notice has been posted at Lloyds, Loudon, calling upon tho under? writers to settlo their liabilities of in? surance ou the steamship United King? dom, as there is now no doubt that she foundered nt sea and was lost with all on board. She left New York on tho 19th of April for Glasgow, and was never seou after wards. Writs of ejectment wero recently served on the negro squatters occupying tho cabins on Taylor's farm, near Nor? folk, Va. ; but tho sheriff was informed by the negroes that thoy did not recog? nize the civil laws, and could only be ejeotod by tho military. MB. EDBBOB: I hare been to the bar? becue-that means the bar and the ene; one iras th oro. tho other will bo, when John Chinaman makes his appearance. These social gath Min gs of old associn tiong are the green spots in'tho desert of our days, and nil appeared to enjoy thoin ^j^l?H?gely on the ooeasiou; plenty to eat end drink; thc cuisine department was well mabaged, and placed on the table in the old-fashioned, primitive style, with the addition of platos, knives and forks, a decided improvement on forked sticks and greasy fingers. It is something a little repellant to good taste, to see your neighbor taking a piece of meat put of the tray with his digits and wabble it about in the gravy, and if it does not suit his peculiar taste, to throw it back and take some choicer morsel; but nt a bar? becue, to enjoy it, the sonsos, especially that of seeing, must be iguored for the timo being, for you go there to eat and drink; and in a well-prepared barbecue, the flue seasoning and tho peculiar me? thod of cooking adds a zest to the appe? tite, and one ia apt to lose sight of the surroundings and go in to have adirer. The bar was well supplied with liquids, furnished by willing hands, ever ready to wait on the s?uierons thirsty custom? ers; who appeared to be very dry, owing to che near approach of the eclipse. Our young Columbia Baud, those who were all right, discoursed good music nud mudo the time pass agreeably. The Com? mittee of Arrangements deserves the thanks of the Association, for tho man? ner in which they conducted all matters entrusted to their management, with but oue solidary exception, and that to me is a very serious one, and to all men who have a spark of morality in their nature, and that is this: in allowing a profession? al gambler to opon a table, with his ap? paratus, at such a time and place, in full view of young men, (our sons mayhnp,) youths to be placed face to face with temptation of so vilo a character. De? nounce it, all honest-thinking men! keep such things in places where those who seek can find, often to their sorrow; but for the sake of all that is honest, in morals and decency, do not make a gam? bling-place of a social gathering, where men of all classes in our community meet together for enjoyment. MENTOR. MEXICAN CLAIMS.-We have a lovely commission known as the Mexican Claim Commission. It is said that the Ameri? cans in Mexico have recently become nu? merous, as thc business of making and proving up claims is inviting and lucra? tive. Tho Commission is to meet nt Washington next week. Claims amount , ing to $50,000,000 are already filed! It strikes us that there is a common-sense policy that should govern in respect to American citizens abroad. If they go abroad to enjoy foreign institutions, let them tuke the bitter with the sweet and settle the ace ou .t for themselves. If they go for the sole purpose of "skinning" people less shrewd than themselves, lot them take the cons?quences. We do not see the wisdom of encouraging our citi? zens to go abroad for the purpose of get I ting rich without running any risks. They seem determined to get rich at all events, by trumping up claims for the United States to extort, either by nego? tiation or by the force oi gunpowder. When American citizens are abused as to their personal liberty, let the Govern? ment see to it; but the true W?J \r?h ait claims is the short way, to wit: if they iun risks for the chance of large profits, let them abide the result. The wholo claim business is one of unmitigated ras? cality.- Cincinnati Times. I A now system of defrauding the reve? nue has been discovered in practice all over the country. Thc stamps used uxo I pasted on with rye-meal paste, or other ingredient which does not adhere too strongly to allow the stamp to be taken off without tearing. In this way, thc same stamp lias been used to cover seve? ral barrels of spirits, and the same rule is applied to tobacco and cigar-boxes. The perpetrators of these frauds are, in every iustauce, United States revenue of? ficials. A lady in Lincoln County, Mo., has petitioned the Circuit Court to grant her a divorce from two husbands-tho first for abandonment, and tho second because he has another wife and children living iu the Western pirt of the State, lt ap? pears the first husband, some timo after his goin? off, was reported drowned. Subsequently, the second marriago was consummated, aud then tho bigamy was discovered. That lady was ovidently "two much married." Pigeons have been killed in New York with Carolina rice in their crops. From the known rapidity with which these birds accomplish the proeess of diges? tion, it is calculated that they have flown between 300 and 400 miles in six hours over a mile a minute. THE SCIENCE OF HEALTH AND THE AKT I OF HEALING.-HETNITBH'S CELEBRATED QUEEN'S DELIGHT puts every mau in pos? session of the means of improving his own health. Disorders of the Stomach, Liver and Bowels are very numerous. The Stomach is tho great centre which influences the health or disease of the system-abused, debilitated by excess, indigestion, offensive breath and physi? cal prostration are the natural conse? quences; allied to tho brain, it is the source of headaches, mental depression, nervous complainte and unrefreshing sleep. Tho Liver becomes affected and gen?ralos bilious disorders, pains in thc side, Ac. Tho Bowels sympathize by costiveness, diarrhoea and dysentery. The great power of tho HEINITSH MEDI? CINE is on the Stomach. . The Liver, Lungs, Bowels, Kidneys participate in tho recuperative powers and regenerative operations of this great MEDICINE. TO siok and feeble we advise a trial.

Daring tho,.postiwo or three, days, Angnst has been compelled to give way to October; while' the nights could very readily be mistaken for November. The change was particularly disagreea? ble, and has pnt stayers-at-home in the very best'of spirits. We refer our readers to the advertise? ment of the iEtna Life, in another co? lumn. This company is, we believe, ouo of the most prosperous and successful in America, and especially deserves tho pa tronage of the people of the South, in consequence of her generous and honor- j able dealing with Southerners just after the war. Wo hold a policy, and aro glad of it. Mr. H. H. Dalton, the general agent of the "Life Association of America," is temporarily located in tho PHONIX build? ing, and a glance at his advertisement will shevr luat he offers favorable induce? ments. The company has no stock, and the agent inserts all sums received in the different States. As their rate of inte? rest is high, their terms for insuring are correspondingly low. We learn that J. G. Gibbes, Esq., in? surance agent, paid, yesterday, to Col. Haskell, agent for Miss Delea Harris, SlO.COO-the amount of insurance in the "American, of Philadelphia," on the lifo of her father, Mr. W. A. Harris, who died a few weeks ago. The promptness of this company is commendable. Tho policy was only issued June 30, and Mr. Harris died July G. This company is n first class one, we believe, and Mr. Gibbes will be glad to accommodate all who, with thef orcthought of Mr. Harris, provide so effectively for their families. DEATH OF ANOTHER OED CITIZEN. The body of Col. Wm. M. Myers was brought to this city on Sunday, and yes? terday it was interred in tho family burial-ground at Cami) Marion, about twelve milos below Columbia. The health of Colonel Myers had been very precarious for months past; and several weeks ago, ho paid a visit to his wife's relatives in Edgefield County, where ho departed this life on Saturday, the 7th instant. Tho deceased had filled many important official positions in this Dis? trict, was Intendant of Columbia for several terms, and was regarded us one of the prominent lawyers and public speakers of the State-although of late years he had given up the practice of his profession. His age was sixty-five years and five months. MONTHLIES.-Peters' 3fusical Monthly, for August, is before us.

It requires but a single trial to understand this. MAGNOLIA WATER.-Superior to the best imported German Cologne, and sold at bab! tho price. A7J3 A STCUBORN FACT.-There is scarcely any disease in whioh purgative medicines aro not more or less required, and much suffering might be prevented were they more generally used. No person can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails. Besides, it soon generates se? rious disoases, which might have been avoided by a timely use of cathartic me? dicines. For this purpose, DR. TUTT'S VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS are confidently recommended. They are mild, safe, prompt and uniform in their action. They contain no merenry. Persons may eat and drink as usual, and they may be taken at any time. A7 6 I have, for many years, been opposed to the use of calomel, having suffered severely in my family from us bad ef? fects, and have looked around in every direction to find a remedy for bilious? ness, torpid liver, dyspepsia, etc., which I know nearly every one suffers from more or less in this climate. And I be? lieve I have found it in SIMMONS' LIVER REGULATOR. I havo known this medi? cine since 1839, and hnve seen it used in hundreds of coses, and can confidently assort that it has always exceeded my expectations, and cured cases that were thought hopeless. It is a duty I almost think I owe to the suffering to let them know what has relieved so many, to my knowledge. Respectfully yours, GRENVILLE WOOD. MACON, GA.

The Magnolia Balm changes the rustic Country Girl into a City Belle more ra? pidly than any other thing. Redness, Sun-burn, Tan, Freckles, Blotches and all effeots of tho Summer Sun disappear when it is used, and a genial, cultivated, fresh expression is obtained which rivals the Bloom of Youth. Beauty is possible to all who invest 75 ceuts at any respectable store, and insist on getting the Magnolia Balm. Use nothing but Lyon's Kathairon to dress the Hair. J17 J13
