In wafting ourselves in imagination to our own satellite, (the moon,) we have passed over a distance equal to thirty times the diameter of our globe. In ad? vancing to the sun we travel over a dis? tance equal to thirty that of the moon. Before we reach Uranus, the remotest of the planets, we have traveled a space equal to twenty times the earth's dis? tance from the sun. Thus placed at the limits of a system enclosed in a circle of eighteen hundred millions of miles of radius, our * appreciation of distance would appear to bo exhausted, and wo seem to be as on the margin of an un? fathomable abyss. Tho telescope, how? ever, and the mural circle, enable us to span the void, and the genius of man, proud of the achievement-and justly, if humbly proud-has crossed the gulf twelve thousand times the radins of his own system, that wo may study the near? est world iu the firmament of heaven. Bcjond this frontier lies the whole uni? verse of stars-their binary systems, their clusters, and their nubnlons com? binations. The observed parallax ol one-fourth of a second in a Lyra, carries us four times as far into tho bosom ol space; though beyond this, as we have uo positive measure of distance, it woulc be as unphilosophical to assign limits tc creation as to give it an infinito range In this rapid flight into space,. we tra versed it out in ene dimension, and thc line which we hava traced is but a uni in the scale of celestial distance. Crea tion in its wide panorama is still above us, beneath us, and around us. Tin over-arching heavens still encloso us and innumerable worlds sparkle in tin canopy. If from this bourne, from which th astronomical traveler alone returns, wi look upon our course, our own planetar; system ceases to be perceived. Its sui is dim itself, but nn invisible point ii the nubulous light that intervenes Where, then, is our terrestial ball-it ocean-its continents-its mountains its empires-its dynasties-its thrones Where is our fatherland-its factions its Christians, disunions, and its unhol wars? Where is our home-its peace its endearments-its hopes and its fears Where is mau-intellectual monad-th only atom of organic life that can pierc the depths and interpret the enigma c the universe, and yet the only spark of spiritual natnre which disclaims tho ai thority and resists the will of the un versal King? They have all disappeare in the far-off perspective-the long vist of spnee, whose apex, were it a sun, tl hugest telescope would fail to descr; No living thing here meets the eye, nu no sentiment associated with lifo pressi on the affections. The tiny organisn of earth and ocean-everything tb moves and breathes, that lives and di< -all are engulphed in the great conce tion of tho universe. Tho straining mir cannot unite the immeasurable extreme The infinit? in space, the eternal in d ration, the omnipotent in power, tl perfect in' wisdom, alono fill the cxpan ed so.nl and portray in their awful cor binatiou the Creator of tho universe.

To the People of Sont?t, Carolina : The above Company was organized in 180G, in consequence of tho wholesale forfeiture of I Southern policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled success of tho enterprise has forced several of theso companies to restore their Southern policies, from tho fact that they could not operate, in our midst without tho ap? pearance of honesty. We keep all our money at home to build up our impoverished country-every dollar of premium being safely invested in the State j from which it ie derived. Thc institution is purely Southern, and hence should appeal with great force to the patriotism and sympa? thy of every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to mako war on other companies, hut to exhibit tho special advan-1 tages offered hy this purely Southern Compa? ny-founded on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to liabilities-thc true test of a company's strength, is second to nono on this continent-hoing nearly 300 to ICO. Whenever and wherever wo have presented the claims of this Company, it has not only enlisted the sympathies of our people, hut has also secured their hearty co-operation. We have secured 500 policios in Sox th Carolina since tho 10th of February. Wo number among our Directors Gen. Wado Hampton and Col. Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well known to every citizen of South Carolina. Wo appeal personally to the people of South Carolina to assist in pushing forward this deservedly popular Southern institution. J.

AFTER an extensive use of this important improvement in practice for nearly two years, it is with full confidence urged upon the profession and thu public, as fulfilling more thoroughly and satisfactorily than any other mode, every intention of Art??cial Dentures. As in this method, rubber teeth are alto? gether discarded, it is desirable that it should fall especially into the hands of those familiar with gold plate work. It may not bc generally known that they who wear cases of artificial teeth, constructed according to this patent, by Dentists who aro not licensees, render themselves liable to the penalty of infringement, as well as tho ope? rator.
