Tho debt of tho city of Savannah in $8,000,110, tho annual intercut on whiob amounts to $251,011. A cor respondent cf tho Nowh regards this as burdensome, :.nd fears financial embarrassment in tho fuluro. Tho profits of iutaruno in that city aro $200,000 a year. That would pny tho whole debt in fifteen years. Mr. Pullman, of the Pullman Sleep ing Car notoriety, proposes to meet the civil rights issue squarely, by al lowing colored people to occupy berths in common with tho whites, Wo say that if hin inclinations lead him to such a course, tho whiles of the south ought not to patronizo him. A Swindle. We received a falter a few weeks since, making propositions for adver tising, from J. Thompson, llanna A Co., 907 Hroadway, Nov/ York. They sent us a blank contract for ten inches space, oik year, promising fo pay one half of hr tho expiration of the first quarter. They proposed in their advertisement to "Make Homo Hap py” by si lling a first-clans sewing raA- chino for $20. Belloviiig it to he a swindling concern, wo asked one of our merehants to writo to a reliable gnu in Now York concerning these fallows, and tho following is their re- ply: Nr.w Yojik, April 18, 75. Mows :—(JenIs;—Yours in quiring mi to standing of tho parties named on enclosed letter head aiul circular at hand. Wo find that it is a cov/ulcnrcJinn, connected with several others under different names, and all engaged in regular swindling operations. Tho police are watching thou). Yours Truly, Tfion Factory, in Chattooga county was completely destroyed by fire on last Saturday night. It wan tho work of an incendiary. Tho factory was a live story building, tho first story was brick nud tho other four wooden. Tho • fifth story was what is called tho picking room, and tho room being ftdl of lint was almost as inflamulilo as powder. An iron ladder extended from the ground lo the lop of tho building, and was connected by a platform with each story, thus afford ing moans of escape in timo of a fire. Every half hour during tho night the watchman inspected the whole build ing. It was after his eight o'clock round that tho incendiary did his di abolical work, by climbing the ladder nud, it is supposed, throwing a match into the lint cotton in the fifth story. The property burnt was inq red for thirty-five thousand dollars. The loss sustained was about $150,000, which falls equally upon Judge Allgood nud his father-in-law, Mr. Marsh. There were employed in the factory three hundred and fifty workmen, whose families made a population of about seven hundred and fifty souls, who were cut in ly dependent on the factory for a support. Wo take tho following particulars of the Ourlorsvillo duel, from the Romo Commercial: Mr. Moon, a young lawyer of (butoraville, and Dr. Hakor hud for each other an unehris- tain sort of feeling, which t ventilated in a "battle of fists." The next move in tho drama was made by Mr. Moon, who sent by his friend, Mr. liray, a challenge to Dr. Ihiker. The Dr. in fused to uciv. t the challenge, claiin- i >g that Moon was not a gentleman. Upon this, Mr. (i:ay, in accordance with tho code duello, challenged Dr. Baker himself. In tho meantime, Mr. Miluor, a young lawyer from Calhoun, who was to have been Mr. Qray’s m'lviuI. oanui to C.irteroville, and on inci ting Dr. Hukor on the street, some abusive and severe language passed between them. This quarrel resulted in Milner challenging Baker to a pis tol tus el, which ho arc-pled. The battle ground sehiulod was just across the Alabama line. They started hither cud hud gotten as far as Cave Spring, where tho strong baud of the law, typified by Yqniro llumil, was laid upon them. Tho laying on of the le gal hand was caused by the father of Mr. Miluor, who had heard of the im pending crisis. All parties returned home yesterday ^Tuesday), in a safer condition tuan had matters terminated otherwise. Tho diliiculty between Gray and Baker had boon, pro.* to tho second affair, retort d to a I o ird of hotio**! composed of Gem.J Young and Wolford, and C -1. Ford. Tile * Pi Ice of Colton anil the Coming Crop. Wo print tho following extract from a very sensible editorial in tho Havannah News, of tho HJtb, under tho above caption : Our * tes* reports from tho planting rrgiom would Boom to indicate a de termination on tho part A tho farm ers to at least incrcaso tho ereft of land devoted to grain, even if they do not dccronso tho number of acres usually set aside for cotton. Thus wo hear from nil quartors that an extra ordinarily largo extent of land has been sowed in wheat, o»la and bar ley, while unusual attention has been given to the preparation of t iie ground for corn. On tho other hand, there nro Homo who are pawning both credit an^ reputation to scrape together supplies enough to cuubly thorn to make another crop of cotton. Tho advance in prices has boon too groat a temptation, and they hnvo staked eveiylhing upon a contingency that is weil-nigh hopeless. This clans is composed of I ho very men who will reap tho biltoroat disappointment. They will bo compelled to put their crops on tho market early in the sea son, no mailer what prices rule, and this will result in a sacrifice. For it must he confessed that tho New York Hpeculutors have immense!) tho nd- vnntngo of tho .Southern planters. The more fact that the crop is either more or I cm than average is of no weigh! whatever. The ap« culutnra have in their power, through I he me dium offing estimates, to convince spinners that an extraordinary yield has boon obtained, and pricus will straightway become depi cesed, ns I hey dd in the opening of every notion year. Then tho tiofoituualo planter finds that his cotton money will just about pay him out of debt, and lie is obliged, if Ini cultivates his laud to again depend on his credit.

The time is not far distant when the death of a man leuving his family uiq rovided for by a policy of Life Assurance, will leave tbs stain of neglected duly upon his character. It is a duty which < v- ery one owes to his own dej endents and tu tho community. Ib win neg lects it is not a good husband, f i t or citizen. He has no right even to risk the chance of throwing the future support of his famiiy, in case of nis death, on the community at large, or on relatives and friends, when it is in bis power so easily to provide against such contingencies.
