The. first shovel fall of earth waa tamed by Gol. Joseph Dodd, the oldest attaohe of the post office, now seventy-nine years of age, a native of Bloomfield, New Jersey, whose con? nection with the New York postal ser? vice commenced in the year 1816, direct? ly after the var with Great Britain, in whioh the Ooloo el served as a captain in the Jersey Fencibles. When he entered the postal service, tho post office was then on the corner of Garden street (now Exchange place) and William, in a pri? vate honse, the postmaster being Theo? doras Bailey, who lived on the premises. Gol. Dodd was the office messenger, and part of his duty was to take the "Great Son thorn Mail," as it is now termed, across the North Bi ver to New Jersey, whence it was transported by stage to Philadelphia, via Trenton, and thence southwardly. This mail generally con? sisted of one leather bog, and contained both letters and newspapers, mixed to? gether promiscuously, whioh the Oolonel would carry to the North Biver shore, and thence he would row across in an open boat from Paulus Hook (now Gort landt street) to Jersey Gity, which was then a mere hamlet, where the stage was in waiting to take it South. In the winter season this mode of transit was very perilous, and the Colo? nel says he has been sometimes from 8 o'clock in the morning till i o'clock in the afternoon endeavoring to cross the river with his mail-bag, the passage so blocked by the ice that it seemed like an impossibility for him ever to make the opposite shore. The old veteran speaks with pride of the fact, however, that he never lost a mail, although, on a few oc? casions, he came very near losing both his life and his bont. If ho lind an extra mail-bag at any time he thought the amount of correspondence that people indulged in was enormous. At that era the full force of tho post office was five persons, including a post -xnoster and the Colonel, and this number was found amply sufficient to transact the whole postal business of the metro? polis. There were no railroads spanning the States in every direction, as now. The "Great Southern Mail" was then comfortably stowed away in the "boot" of a stage-coach, and if it reached Phila? delphia in two days after being de? spatched from New York, it was con? sidered as having made excellent time. To reach Washington often occupied more than a week, especially in the win? ter season. FANATICAL, PILGRIMAGES.-About this time of the year, tens of thousands of pilgrims are making their way from all parts of India to the shrine of that god whioh has the power, as they believe, to obliterate the transgressions of all who make their offerings to him in person. Juggernaut, the "Lord of the World," has been worshipped in the sacred town of Pooree, in the Southern part of Gris so, lying about 300 miles from Galoutta, for 700 years past, and the pilgrims con stantly increased in numbers until the year of the fatal famine, when tho whole country was strewn with the dead. Five ?ears or so ego, the attention of the ?nglish public was called to n celebra? tion in honor of Juggernaut, within a few miles of Calcutta, at which several natives fell or threw themselves beneath the car, and were crushed to death. Of old the great festivals were never deemed complete unless the triumphant path of the god bad been stained with the blood of his worshippers. But the priests dare not encourage that custom now. If a devotee flings himself down before the idol, th? Brahmins cry ont it was an ac? cident. The idolatry, however, still costs hundreds of lives every year. The weak and sickly perish by the way-side, and a cholera epidemic usually breaks out at Pooree when the city is most over-crowd? ed with pilgrims. The poor creatures are huddled together in u way which seems almost incredible to tho European. Tho temple of Jnggcrnnut stands in a large enclosure in tho centro of Pooree. T'-ere is ix Grecian column of blade ba? salt in front of tho principal gate, brought from Kunnrok. The god lives in a large tower, and about GIO persons arc employed to minister to his supposed necessities. Thero is nu attendant who puts tho idol to bed every night, another who wakes bim, a third whose office is to put water and a tooth-pick comfortably within his rench, a f urth to paint his eyes for him every morning, as if ho were a faded New York beauty, several others to cook and givo him his food, 120 dancing girls to amuse him in his heavy moments, and ;i,000 priests to worship him-and plunder tho pilgrims. All thin goes on year af ter your-is going on in tho midst of this hot weather, while tho pilgrims throng every road which leads to tho shrine. OUR BONDS ABROAD.-Tho London Pall Mall Gazette estimates tho amount of United States bonds held abroad to bo about $1,200,000,000, which, if tho esti? mates bo correct, would cause a drain of 300,000,000 a year from this country to pay tho interest on thom.

To the People of South Carolina : The abovo Company waB organized in 18GG. in consequence of tho wholesale forfeituro of | Southern policies by Northern companies. Tho unparalleled success of tho cntcrpriso has forced soveral of these companies to restore their Southern policies, from the fact that they could not operate in our midst without tho ap? pearance of honesty. We keep all our money at homo to build np ? our impoverished country-every dollar of I premium being safely invested in tho State from which it is dorived. The institution ia purely Southern, and hence should appeal with groat force to tho patriotism ind sympa? thy of every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpoao to make war on other companies, but to exhibit tho special advan? tages offered by this purely Southern Compa? ny-founded on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to liabilities-the true test of a company's strength, is second to none on thia continent-being nearly 300 to ICO. Whenever and whore ver wo have presented the claims of thia Company, it has not only enlisted the sympathies of our people, but baa also secured their hearty co-operation. Wo have secured 500 policios in Soxth Carolina sinco tho 10th of February. Wo number among our Directors Gen. Wado Hampton aud Col. Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well known to every citizen of South Carolina. Wo appeal personally to tho people of South Carolina to assist in pushing forward this deservedly popular Southern institution. J.

Its Annual Income is over $6,000,000 It has over 40,000 existing Policies. Its expenses are lower than most Compa? nies, and consequently its ability to mako and pay liberal dividends to tho insured is greater than that of ino-1 Companies.
