Discriminating Scissors.— Our np eiativo cotemporary, the Augusta Daily Tran*crij>t, does us the honor to appropriate an editorial of ours in cj-tewo, entitled, “A Hint t«* the Immigration »Socicty,” in which we undertook to show that n large number of causes were now eo operating to drive from the United Kingdoms a very valuable class of immigrants: and iu view of this combination we called upon our Virginia and North Carolina Company to exert themselves to secure a part at least of this valuable population. It seems that our eoteniporary so thoroughly endorsed our views, and so unhesitatingly mlopted our article, facts, figures and all. as to include a typographical error which appeared in the original. Nor is this all ; it has an odd sound to hear a Georgia paper declaring, We have already shown that the growth ot cotton will attract‘mid*h of tho labor wc do.«iro to get to the .South of us. while the North Wi st, by tho enlarged markot- thus afforded for its breadstuff*. will also become a formula, tie competitor with us in obtaining workmen This was our deerriptb nos the condition of Virginia between the two competitors named in the quoted paragraph. But South of Georgia the eompetitisn cannot li - very great. Wc now make a profound f*al utation to our coternpornry, anil with the request that when its discriminating and gifted scissors again go upon a raid in our columns, it will correct any tvp *grapicat error which may exist, and append a trilling acknowledgment, at the bottom of the arti cle. we withdraw with the assurance of our distinguished e mskU-vatiou. —Nurjolk UtV •jinian, April UfA.

P Is WITH PLEASURE THAT WE 3- copy the following notice of the above Company from the Atlanta New Era. In this community. Its reliability and promptness in immediately paying all looses, L well known and renders it an institution of pride to our citizens. Jis officers are courteous gentlemen, with years of experience m the business to which fact, coupled with their eminent fitness for tho position, its remarkable prosperity must be mainly attributed. The Era says: J Acts Speak Louder than Wombs.—We* are gratified to learn on inquiry that the Insurance Company which paid so promptly its loss by the hreon the corner of Whitehall and Decatur streets, is a Southern Company, and none other than that reliable institution of our state, The Gkohgia Homf. Insurance Company of Columbus, of whi Ji Mr. Jno. €. Whitner is Agent. The payment was made within twelve hours after the first cry of tire was heard, whilst smoke was still issuing from the ruins. No third party '"ime forward to sift and feel about for flaws, but the Agent issuing the policy also makes the payment just so soon as satisfied of its justness. We ask our merchants and citizens to note these facts. The cry has been raised that all Southern Companies were totally ruined. The answer to this is, their investments were mado before the war, and wore never chapped. Their l'lSfi. therefore, was merely the profits and the labors for four years—though sonic, like tho Georgia Home, have even come out better than they entered the war. It is faße that they are I insolvent. A remarkable feature of Southern Companies is tiie absence of “Special Agents ’ and•• Adjusters” to settle up losses. They ,b r o on the presumption that the man they appoint as agent is honest and capable, suffi ciently so to t e entrusted with the responsible I duty of making out a policy promising to pay von in case of loss, and sufficiently so as to pay up losses wheinliey do occur. When, there* fire, you insure with them, your last transac tion with the smie man—your friend, your neighbor, your fellow-citizen—with whom your first occurred. V» e do not mean to be sectional in our ad vice, but wc do think when we can build up ours'd vi's and our own people at the same cost ai.d witli great* r a- I vantage to ourselves, it is our duty to do so. There are it number of Southern Companies represented here who are perfectly reliable. i Gallon Chat experienced In.-n ranee man and polite -h'•itvii rn gentleman, Mr. Whitner. at MoCamy & Co/s Drugstore, and he will give you a list that will surprise von. c. & a. 0». hall, Agents of the above named Company, *&, 6a* MARSHALL’S 240 INSURANCE 240 AGENCY.
