For Commercial Intelligence see Fourth Fagc MURK VKI.HO DHTrUBIICBS.; A rumor has been current in tliis city lor a day or two past to the effect that a serious difficulty had occurred alThotnasville in this Staty between the whites and the blacks, oc casioned by the aggressive and lawless con duct ot some ot the latter We have not lieeu able to learn the particulars ol the affair auy farther than that the excitement pro duced in the community attained such -a pitch as to render it necessary to parade the military as a conservator of the peace. The recent manifestations, in different parts of the State, of insubordination and violence by evil disposed freed me u clearly demonstrate the necessity for an immediate organization of volunteer companies in th# several counties, under the recent proclama tion of Governor Johnson, to act as a “police force” to aid the civil authorities in their re spective counties to suppress violence and preserve order. We regret to say that the necessity tor this precautionary step is be coming more apparent every succeeding clay. Thtvpresent heavy withdrawal of federal troops from our State and the frequent oc currences of outrage and crime, clearly de mand such organizations. Aod we feel war ranted in saying that the united voice pt our citizens calls loudly and even importunately for prompt action on the subject; and we cannot but think that the most culpable neg ligence has maraed the official conducUof the authorities whose duty it is, under the pro clamation of the Governor, to see that the necessary steps are taken in a matter so vital to the preservation of peace, ot property and of life. It is hardly necessaty to note the fact that we have in every community capital material for the organization ol volunteer companies for the purposes we have indicated —young men lor the rauks and experienced meu for the command. An appeal to them to come forward, and aid in protecting the lives and property of their fellow citizens, to aid the civil government in the preservation of law and order, we feel assured would be respond ed to both cheerfully and promptly. In view of certain remarkable disclosures that ttanspired on yesterday at the head quarters of the Freedmau's Bureau, indicat ing tiiat we have in our midst colored incen diaries from abroad, who are busily engJ|ed in the propagation among our colored popu lation of the most insane schemes of rapiue and revenge, is it not peculiarly lueumbeDt on our people aud city authorities to heed the unmistakable signs of the times by prompt and vigilant action in the direction we have pointed. We would not be understood in these re marks us reilectiug upon our colored popula tion generally. They are confined in their application to the vicious aud unprincipled. We cheerfully express the belief that a large majority of the Frucdtnen of the South are governed by good motives and correct aud would instinctively shriuk Horn the commission of crime in any form, it is known too that many of this class are doing all iu their power towards the refor mation aud improvement of the guilty aud less considerate of their race. Kt-poi i of tbe PiHiinuhlt r (•cm ral. Tlte Americau people must be not ouly as touisbed but pleased to leuru tioin the report just published that the receipts of the Post Office Department for the current year were above the expenditures by the sum of over three-quarters of a million of dollars. The estimate for the coming year, however, shows a deficiency of over a million of dol lars, which is covered by appropriations al ready made and unexpended. The mail ser vice in operation on June 30, 1805, embraced six thousand and twelve roules, of the ag gregate length of one hundred and forty-two thousand three hundred and forty miles, costing 0,240,884 (exclusive ot compensation to route uud other agents, amounting to $550,602). The number of postage stamps issued during the year were three hundred and eighty-seven million four hundred and nineteen thousand four hundred and lil’iy live, representing $12,000,787—an increase of $1,873,108 over the previous year. An appropriation will be necessary for the ban Francisco, Japan and China steamship line from Jan. 1 to June 30, 1807, of $260,000; Brazil line, for eight months of the present and the whole of next year, $260,000. The Postmastar General speaks hopefully oi ihe prospects of revenue from the Southern States after the re-establishment of the pos tal system in that section. References to the misapplication of the postal fund will com mand the attention of Congress. One of the points made by the Postmaster General is that of obtaining from Congress the right of giving subventions to sailing vessels for car rying the mails. This is of especial impor tance as effecting our postal arfangemeuls— or lather want of arrangements—with the Central American States. For instauce, the mails between New York and Santa Marta, Carthagena, Ac., in Columbia, lie for weeks at Aspinwall without being fotwarded.— Transactions with England Cre enormously on the increase, solely Decause there are three lines of subsidized steamers between the Co lombian ports and Liverpool, which lines are directing the trade from us. The new pos tal treaty with Colombia is yet unfinished, and ii it were not, it would not necessarily bring about any great or immediate facilities, unless both countries' united in a subvention to some company to undertake the service, and tins not probable. But as there are regular lines ol’ last sailing vessels tiom ibis to these Colombian ports, which, in fact, U ,‘ c L nil - (1 State » mails there rc ut in !?- T anv listing means, and -.

And this security is placed. by meansot the insurance system, withiu the reach ot the poorest classes ol the community. An institution which thus practically provides for the sup port of the unfortunate, anil saves them trout a humiliating dependence upon charity. cannot be too early recognized among the great philauthropical schemes of our pro gressive age, nor its value and importance too warmly commended to all classes, hut especially to that large class who live upon salaries or rely upon their daily wages for support, and whose families would be left utterly destitute should such support be sud kenly withdrawn. The plan of insurance against accidents of every kind was first successfully introduced m this country by the Travalers Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn. They insure against accidental death for a low premium, adding an excellent leature under the same policy, which is that of a weekly compensa tion in case of a disabling injury, coveriug all the accidents common to daily life as well as those incident to public aud private tra vel. The Travelers' Record is the title of a neat sheet published by this Company, devoted to the promulgation of tbe plans and induce ments of their system of insurance. Ttie number bclore us contains a lew striking in stances of the universal liability to accidents, and illustrates well the advantages of this kind of provision against them. One of our agents writes: “A short time since I went into the store of a friend to solicit applications for General Accident Policies in the Travelers of Hart ford. I explained the matter fully to three 'of the clerks, who declined insuriug lor the present. In less than three hours from the time I left the store, one of them was mov ing a basket of ale in bottles, when one of the bottles burst, a piece of glass hit him iu the eye, aud he was laid up in the hospital five weekß. lie has resumed his labors with the total loss of his eye. Within three weeks, the second one fell down stairs and cut his lip open, aud was laid up one week. Since then, the one who lost his eye, fell down a cellar-way while returning home from the store, and the other one cut his finger pretty badly. Tbe last two accideuts were uot se rious, but might have been ; and all go to show that those who think they are not liable to accident, may be mistaken. On the 12th day of May last, Judge B F. Hoffman of Warren, Ohio, insured iu the Travelers of Hartford for $5,000, went a fishing. He “had a bite,” and hauled out a fine trimt with such a jerk that the fish flew »lft lie hook aud struck on the bank near the edge of the stieam. Springing to secure bis trout, Judge 11. brought the butt ot his fish - p .Vfe iu such violent contact with bis leg as to rupture u muscle. He limped borne in great pain, and was confined to bis bouse, totally disabled Mom bull ness, for eighteen weeks and three days«--up ter Sept. lSth. As be was entitled to $25 per week compensa tion, a check for $402.50 was promptly forwarded on receipt of proper proofs. His policy cost him but $25.

The complete suppression of all oligarchi cal pretensions, and the complete enfran chisement of all citizens, so that there shall be uo denial of rights on account of color or race, but justice shall be impartial, and all shall be equal before the law. llic The rejection of the rebel debt, anil at same time the adoption in just proportion the national debt and the national obliga tions to Union soldiers, with solemn pledges never to joiu in any measure, direct or indirect, for their repudiation, or iu auy way tending to impair the national credit.

The Now York Sun reports the sale at auction iu that city, of nearly two thousand bales of cotton, the average price per pound, of which was about forty cents. The supply Os tire staple in that city is heavy ; large quantities art) constantly arriving from the Southern States ; the priseis only about half what it was when gold was at the highest notch; yet, says the Suu, with all these cir cumstances, together with the prospect of an aliundaut supply in the future, cotton fabrics are held at nearly as high rates as they were a year or two ago. There is no legitimate cause for the present exorbitant prices of cottoh goods, aud even were it not for the operators df speculators iu the dry goods market, the figures would be far lower. The same operators who used to force up gold during the war are now at work iu the other markets and high prices are the consequence. It is not probable that the present rales can be maintained tor any length of lime, aud we advise consumers to buy just as sparingly as will answer for current use. Thk.

So grea was the delight upon seeing his instrument, that Mr. Stietf sold three on the spot, one being the mate of this one, for which he re ceived the regular price of SBOO.
