The Agency of this Company has been organized to furnish a reliable medium by which our people may, at the smallest outlay in cash, obtain thorough labor of all kinds, viz: Farm Laborers, Gardeners Shepherds, Domestics, Hostlers, Seamstresses, Rail road Laborers, Miners, Mechanics Factory Hands .Ac. as well as to sell lands to foreign farmers, and to sup ply Tenants. Our Agents are by long and successful experience qualified to obtain the most competent labor from Eu rope. They are intimately acquainted with our wants in this resppct, and, being re-idents of the South, and in every respect identified with our people, will,"in the interest of the country and its future development, take the utmost care in filling the orders with which they are entrusted. Our General Foreign Agent, Col. Frank Selialler. an officer in the Confederate States Army during the war, is fmlv acquainted with the characteristics of for eign emigration, and having lived at the South for the last seventaen yeats, is no less cognizant of the labor which will suit our people. During the years 1S68— 1871 lie acted as the General State Agent of Immi gration of Virginia. and was eminently successful in laying for that State the basis fur a substantial immi gration. Col. Sehaller will personally fill in Europe all orders received by the Company. Our General AgeDt at Athens, Captain II. H. fail ton,known throngiiout the South as Captain of Ariil lerv in General Lee’s ermy. will be permanently loo a ted and conduct the business of the Agency at Athens acting as receiving and disbursing agent of the Com puny. Otir General Traveling Agent, Dr-Edwin I). New ton, late Surgeon in General Lee’s army, who has for several years been laboring so earnestly in behalf ot the agricultural interest of the State of Georgia, will personally solicit orders throughout the country, make contracts and g ve receipts. l.nbor of all kind., as mentioned above, w»- order by steamer or sailing vessel. The coat per sail ing vessel is twenty dollars less than by steamer; thi passage-money advanced being gradually deducted from the wages contracted for Persons desiring la borers for this or next year, will please forward their orders at once. Small orders lor immediate labor can only be filled bv steamer. Due notice will He given to all our customers when tile labor ordered will reach Savannah The Con tract with the party engaged is always made in Europe, agreeably to the terms mutually agieed upon between agent and contractor. These contracts are made fully binding, iu the manner by ns to be indicated. We shall, whenever desired, eudeav- or to make contracts for a term of two years. Tenant, are brought out in the same manner as laborers, and an additional charge of ten dollars pel tenant is made, if the landhoiuer advances the passage money. If tenants, on the contrary, are songht who pay their own traveling expenses, a charge ot twenty- five dollars for each tenant is made by us, to be paid to lis with the order. It this order cannot he filled by via we refund the money; if the tenant, alter presen ttftion, is not accepted agreeably to the original terms of contract, the money is forfeited to us. All charges tor tenants are made irrespective of the term of tenan cy agreed upon. I.nuds are sold on commission , we require plat and survey, descriptions, abstract ot title,aud explicit terms of sale. Nntioiiality. While in all cases we shall endeav or to meet tile wishes of our customers in this respect, Vet^he labor-market in Europe is so constantly chang ing, and the requisite qualifications for the various kinds of labor, are so different, that w-e desire to be left free to exercise a due discretion in our selections, to enable us to furnish the beet in the market, and thus subserve our joint interests. I.rtngunge, Some persons, desirous of etnploy- ieg foreign labor, yet not wishing to engage natives of the British Isles, see an obstacle in Hie fact tha N’orth- erit. Em opeaus are strangei s to out language. Our ex- perienct leads ui to consoler it an advantage intlier than otherwise. A laborer nnacqnainted with the English language, will avoid from the first such asso ciations and influences as would prove injurious to his perfect contentment, but by gradually acquiring our language lie will have a better opportunity to appre ciate our character aud customs as a people, than one already possessing a command of our language. Ex perience lias, taught that but a few weeks are uecessn ry for these laborers to sufficiently understand our language to perform all duties required cf them. All business of this Company will be conducted by our Agents. They will at all times lake pleasuie in furnishing such information as may be desired in regard to terms, contracts, maimer ot delivery, etc. Ail communications requiring an auswer should be accom panied with a postage stamp. Unreflecting Childhood and Age. It is, indeed, a little while Siitfeyou was born, my happy pet— Your future beckons with a smile, Your bygones don’t exist as yet. Is all the world with pleasure rife ? Are you a little bird that sings Her simple gratitude for life. And lovely things T The ocean, and the waning moons. And starry skies, and starry dells, And winter sport, and golden Junes, And Art divine, and Beauty-spells; Festa and song, and frolic wit And banter, and domestic mirth— They all are thine—av, is it not A pleasant earth ? And poet frieDds, and poesy, Aud precious books, for any mood : And then that best of company. Those graver thoughts in solitude, That hold us fast, and never pall; And then there’s You, my own, my fair— And I ....I soon must leave it all— And much you care !” [B/ackirood. The Death Kate. An examination of the life statistics of the census of this country and of Europe reveals many interesting particulars The number of deaths in Europe every year is I out of every 42 inhabitants, or 2.38 100 per eeut., neatly double the aveiage death-rate in the Uni ted States, which is only 1 for every 81 inhabitants, or 1.23-P 0 per cent. The leading countries of Europe present the tollowing annual bills of moitalily : INHABITANTS. England 1 death to every 46 Denmark,... I death to every 45 Belgium - 1 death to every 43 Norway and Swedeg 1 death to every 41 Austria 1 death to every 40 Prussia 1 death to every 3y France 1 death to every 32 The life-tables of the United States show a much wider range; from ihe highest, Arkansas, where the annual deaths are oue to every forty-nine inhabitants - a little over two per cent, of tbe population- to the lowest, Oregon, whose death-rate is less than one half of ore per cent , or one to every two hundred and nine inhabitants. The following classification, or grouping, jf the Slates and Territories will be found interesting, and valuable, also, as a directory. It exhibits the uver- age yearly proportion of deaths to population : New England Sta'es I in 68 Middle States 1 in 88 Southern States 1 in 70 Western States 1 in 81 Northwestern States* I in 120 Pacific States* 1 in 115 Atlantic States 1 in 80 Gulf States 1 in 63 Mi-issippi Valley States 1 in 80 These table* which will be new to most persons, nrr another evidence how highly we, in this new country of oois, are favored. It is a general idea that the longevity of the Old World exceeds that of the New, hut if it is so, it is so only in special classes—those raised by wealth and rank and social privilege above the many. 'The per centage in favor of the north western States is due to the fact that adult males pre- ponderate through immigration and that there is not the usual proportion of children and old people.

TliRKEB, -• REBECCA LESTER. Milledgevilie, Feb. 16tb, 1872. 90 tf A Charitable World—It is a temptation to a temperate matt to become a sot. to hear what tal ent. what versatility, what genius is almost always attributed to a moderately bright man who ishab itually drunk. Such a mechanic, such a mathe' matician, sue a poet he would be if he wete only sober : and theu he is sure to be the most gener ous, magnanimous, friendly sonl, consciet.tionsly ononible, it he were not so conscientiously drunk. I suppose it is now notorious that the most bril liant and promising men have been lost to th* world in this way. It is sometimes almost painful to think what a surplus of talent and genius there would be iu the world if the habit of intoxication should suddenly cease ; and what a slim chance there would be for the plodding people who have always had tolerable good habits. The fear is only mitigated by the observation that the reputation of a person for great talent sometimes cesses with his reformation. It is believed by some that the maidens who would make the best wives never niBrry, but remain tree to biess the world with their impartial sweetness and make it generally habitable. This is one of the mysteries of Provi dence, and New England life. It seems a pity, at first sight, that all those who become poor wives have tbe matrimonial chance, and that they are deprived ol the reputation of those who would be good wives were they not, set apart for the high and per) etual office of priestesses of soc ety.— Thrro is no beauty like that which was spoiled by an accident, no accomplishments and graces are so to be envied as those that circumstances tudely hindered the development of. All of which shows what a charitable and good-tempered world it is, notwithstanding its rep tation for sytricism aud detraction.—From Scribner’s for March. Anecdote of Dickens—Among the recently I published letters of Dickens descriptive of his firs’. | visit to this country occurs the following passage : We had, by the by, another serenade at Hartford from a Mr. Adams (a nephew of John Quincy Ads ams) and a German friend. They were beautiful singers : and when they began, in the dead of the night, in a long musical, echoing passage outside ottr chamber door, singing, in low voices to guit. ars, about homes and abeut friends aud other top ics that they knew would interest us, we were much more moved than I can tell you In thv midst of my sentimentality, though, a thought oc curred to me which ma e nte laugh so immoder ately that I was obliged to cover my face with the bedclothes. “Good heavens !” I said to Kate, • what a monstrously ridiculous and commonplace appearance my boots must have, outside the door!" I never w ts so impressed with the sense of the ab surdity of boots in all my lile. Cold People—Gen. Washington in Society —How he Rebuked Familiarity.—To throw \ our arms around Trumbull is to experience the sente sense ol shock as when Robert Morris slap ped George Washington on the back and called him “old fellow :” yet Trumbull is wondrously de sirous of good fellowship —Cor Herald. It was not Robert but Gouverueur Morrris who ventured an undue familiarty with the Father of his Country, aud he was too well bred or had not the temerity to say “old fellow.” The anecdote was related by Alexander Hamilton to Judge Ja cob Burnet, of this city. Hamilton at a private gathering remarked that Washington was cold aud reserved, even to his personal frieuds. and al lowed no one to be familiar with him. Gouver- neur Morris dissenting, Hamilton made the fol lowing banter: “II you will, at tbe next recep tion evening, gently slap him on the shoulder and say ; ’My dear General, how happy I am te see you look so well,’ a supper and wine shall be pro vided for you aud a dozen of your friends.'’ Morris accept d the challenge, aud on the eve ning of the reception entered early, bowed, aud as he shook hands put his left hand on Washington’s shoulder aud -aid : “My dear General, I am very happy to see you look so well.” Washington withdrew it is baud, and, with anger aud indigna- tion iu his countenance, gazed at Morns until the latter, abashed, sought refuge in the midst ot tbe Hoscmbled company. At tbe supper provided Morris said : “I liavu won the bet, but paid dear ly ior it, and nothing could innuce me to repeat it.’’—Cincinnati Commercial. It is r ported that Mr. Bowen, of the Indepen dent, has interviewed Senator Sumner, tor the purpose of finding out what his future object was in regard to Grant. Mr Sumner seems to have been unusually communicative, according to Mr Bowen, for tbe latter reports that Mr. Sumner said : “1 am satisfied that Grant is a dishonest man.— Ttiat is sufficient to justify me in saying most pos itively that 1 cannot and shall not supnort bint.— For other reasons he is unfit te be President of the United States. He doesnot possess the necessary capacity. He is ignorant of the details of civil government, and does not manifest a disposition to learn them. He is venal, ambitious, vulgar iu ins habits, and possesses a cunning which is low and dogged. He has a strong will, but it is never controlled by reason—hence becomes perverse— aud tbe man, when be sh jid be most yielding and gentlemanly, is most obstinate and unmanly. Such a man is unfit to be President of the Uuited Slates, and most to be the candidate of the Repub lican party. He ought not to be nominated by that patty, aud shall net be ii I can help it. I can not honorably support a party that will sustain such a man.” Mr. Sumner also declared that he should not support the ticket, -even if Senator Wilson were named for Vice-President,tnt added that he would support any good Republican cheerlully.

CKITICAI. A OTIC EM. HERBERT RPEKCEB, The Eclectic Magazine for March contains a fine steel engraving of this eminent English writer, and a bio graphical sketch, with some account of his “ -philosophical system.” Mr. Spencer is 52 years old, and is a na tive of Derbyshire, England. Who ever would keep up with, or in hail ing distance of the philosophical pro gress ot our grand era of human thought and action, must know some thing of Herbert Spencer and his works, and that “something” is fur nished in condensed form iu the March number of the Eclectic Magazine. Besides the article on Herbert Speu- cer, the Magazine before us is filled with articles of great merit on a varie ty of other subjects. “The Strange Adventures of a Phaeton” is at ab sorbing and brilliant story, and will run through the year 1S72. An ex cellent article entitled “Strange news about the Solar Prominences” from the powerful pen of Prof. Proctor shows how searchingly earthly science is penetrating the secrets of the great fountain of heat and light at the dis tance of 96,000,000 of miles. Articles on Mahomet—Early Life of Dickens— National Debts and National Prosper ity—The Talking Animal—Spain; her Manners and Amusements—and though last not least in attractiveness, an ar ticle “About Cats,” coustitute a part only of the readable contents of this fine Magazine, which is published monthly by E.

D. of Baltimore, for a long time publish ed in Baltimore, has been transferred to St. Louis, Mo. 510 & 512 Washing ton Avenue, where it will be hence forth published by “ The South-western Bo >k and Publishing Company." The Southern Review is the only literary Quarterly, so far as we know, published in the South. We believe the South needs no other—needs only to concentrate support on this, ad mirably conducted as it is, and equal in its high range of topics discussed, and the ability with which they are handled, to any of the well known quarterlies of the Old World. The contents of the January num ber before us are as follows: 1. The Correlation of Reason and Faith. 2. The Abyss of Darkness. 3. The Methods of the Ancient Geometry. 4. Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston. 5. Re publican Party—objects , and Policy. 6. Modern Atheism. 7. Praise of God in Song. 8. History of the Mo ravians. 9. Tribute to the Memory of Bishop Andrew. 10. Bishop Kip’s Double Witness. 11. Notices of Books. The January Number before us con tains 250 pages ot large octavo size. It is published under the auspices of the Southern Methodist Church; but it is not a sectarian, but a truly liter ary publication. In this connexion we may observe that the July num ber of last year contains one capital article on Gen. R. E. Lee, and another giving a vivid detail of the closing scenes of the life of Gen. Lee’s father, his death and burial, at Dungeness, Cumberland Island, Georgia, in the year 1S18. The price of “The South ern Review” is $5 per annum—Cler gymen, $4. SOUTHERN f.A W REVIEW.

Many of our citizens are aware that the square, bounded by Twenty-second, Nassau and Bolton streets, is occupied by the buildings of our townsman. Adam Forepaugh, Esq., as the winter quar ters of his great traveling menagerie. During the present winter, Mr. Fore paugh has secured the services of Herr Darious, the celebrated animal train er, from the Zoological Society’s Gar dens at Hamburg, Germany, aud placed in his charge two magnificent royal Bengal tigers and tw r o fine lions. They were to be taught several feats of an interesting character, more lor the purpose of showing man’s power over the brute creation than for mere gratification of a morbid appetite.— Herr Darious, in whose chaige the animals w r ere placed, is famous through out Europe for his great success in training wild animals, and his ability in this line is well known among na turalists. For this reason Mr. Fore paugh secured his services. Arriving here from Europe «n Christmas day, he immediately had a large den erect ed on the south building, of solid white oak, three inches thick, with an open front, interlaced with iron bars crossing each other at regular intervals. At one end there is a door through which the den is entered, and in the centre is a swinging partition, which divides the den into two apartments, and which may be opened or closed at the trainer’s will. In this strong den the lions and tigers were placed, sep arated by a partition, except when be ing trained, when they were permit ted to go together. Every day du ring the winter Herr Darious has en tered this den, opened the partition, and “ interviewed” the monaruhs of the glade and forest. Yesterday morn ing, while the trainer was among “ his pets,” the tigers, for some unknown reason, began to exhibit signs of sud den displeasure, such as scraping the floor with their claws, and brushing, their sides with their tails. Darious immediately noticed this, and grasp ing the partition door, suddenly closed it with a crash, leaving him alone with a single tiger. The closing of the partition, or the separation from his mate, enraged this beast, and see ing the trainer’s face turned away, he made one spring, uttered a single ter rible groan, and in a second was on Herr Darious’ back with his claws iu his hair. As the latter fell to the floor he uttered a shout, which brought a number of the employees of the es tablishment to the scene, but their fear unmanned them, and prevented them from rendering the trainer any assistance. During this time Darious, with rare presence of mind, lay per fectly still, knowing full well that a single movement might result in his instaut death. The other animals, seeing the attack and hearing the noise, set up simultaneously a terrible howling, roaring and groaning, and the scene became a perfect pandemo nium. The valuable performing horses in the adjoining stable were removed lest their terror should overcome them. The tumult reached the elephants’ quarters, and it was a matter of great difficulty to keep them quiet, especial ly old “ Romeo,” the monster who kills a keeper every one or two years ; the smaller elephants were less dis turbed. In the upper story, a cocoon gnu, or horned horse, one of Mr. Fore- paugh’s recent importations, and one of most vicious of all animals, broke through his coge and made an imme diate and terrible attack on one of the zebra cages, containing a beauti ful and valuable animal. In less than a moment the front was battered down, and the poor zebra lay dying, gored to death. Proceeding to the den con taining the great eland, the gnu began to battle at the wirework here, but his hoi ns becoming entangled, he was captured and placed in safe quarters, without doing further damage. All this occurred in a very short space ol time, aud Herr Darious still lay in the tiger’s den quiet as death, when the proprietor of the establish ment, Adam Forepaugh, suddenly drove up in his carriage and entering the building, took iu the situation at a A Connecticut lady writing from South Carolina to the Norfolk Gazette, speaking of Southern Society, tells the following horrible story : “As you look at a Southern lady, there seems to be a sort of easy, stolid indifference about her, and let this be once aroused, and only once thwarted, and it changes into the most indomin- able obstinacy that will take a great deal to overcome. Some of their war memories are sadly touching indeed, and however righteous the cause of the successful army may have been, there were mauy things done in the heat of war that its supporters in the North would not countenance. On one oc casion a section of the Northern army was quartered near a village, into which three of the officers went to make arrangements about food being supplied to the Boldiers. They went into one home where lived au old man seventy years of age, and one daughter serving as a companion. One of the officers talked gruffly to the old man for a time, when the daughter, hearing voices, came into the room. The offi cer turned to look at her. She was beautiful iu person, but she cast a glance of contempt upon him. He was unpleasantly reminded that she and her sex were a great deal the hin drance to his cause. He took his ti tling whip, his horse was hitched at the gate, and gave her two heavy strokes across her shoulders. She had on an elegant white breakfast dress, and it at once showed the scarlet line of blood the whip had brought to the surface. The old man looked him steadily in the face aud said, with a quivering voice, “ Young man, may the curse of God rest upon you.” The officer, with his companions, hurried out of the house, unheeding the invo ked curse ; he unhitched his horse, put his foot into the stirrup, and attempted to mount. In raising his foot he had jerked the trigger of a pistol he always carried loaded iu his belt. It discharg ed its couterits into his abdomen and chest, and he died instantly. His com rades laid his body across the back of bis restive horse, and commenced their lonely “ dead inarch, ” back to the camp.” Such a scoundrel was unworthy a soldier’s burial. His carcase should have been thrown to the hogs. this subject: a subject of great and especial interest to Georgians at the present,especially to the city of Bruns wick where two sets of city bonds have beeu sold by a carpet-bagger municipal officer, the law authorizing one issue.

The tiger turned to see whence came this attack in the rear, just as Mr. Forepaugh had foreseen he would turn, theu he shouted to Darious, and as the tiger loosened his hold the train er sprang up, opened the door, and escaped luckily with but few scratch es. The scene was one never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it, and but for tbe cooluess and heroic bravery of Mr. Forepaugh would have resulted iu Herr Darious’ certain death.

Extravagant Printing Bills*— The New Orleans Picayune says: “The heaviest printing bill on record in this State, the sum aud substance of all thepriuting bills, we find in the auditor’s report for the year 1871. The New Orleaus Republican has the most formidable bill of all. Its bill for printing for the &tate and parish for the years 1869, 1870 aud 1871 is $675,668. County printers, small re publican organs, also come io for a handsome Bhare of Louisiana tax-men- ey. Their bills amount to $465,213. Great organs and little organs, $1,140,* 881.” Either the Sun is the author of a gross and shameless libel, or else men very high in official circles at Wash ington are deep iu gross and shameless knaveries. The charges preferred af fect Oresswell, the Postmaster-General, whose reputation in some other res pects is not the best, .Senator Cameron, and, indirectly, the President himself. They relate to the operations of the cel ebrated Baltimore Whiskey Ring, which, by collusion with revenue offi cers, has defrauded the United States out of millions of dollars. It is asser ted that, evidence of this having been unearthed by a detective, application was made to the Secretary of the Treasury for power to institute pro ceedings against the offenders. To get tiiis accomplished, the Secretary was obliged to disguise his purpose for fear of influence in the Senate and Cab inet. But on the discovery of the meaning ol the resolution introduced for the recovery of stolen funds, it was blocked by this very influence, al though it had been favorably reported on by two Committees. Thus the power of men highest in the State, was brought to bear to distort legisla tion and protect swindlers against the department they had defrauded. Not only so, but Mr. Creswell is found to have writen to the counsel of the ras cals, whom he designates as “our friends,” promising them aid and ur ging thsm not to fear. When it comes to this, that the President’s nearest friends and confidential advisers are partners in rascality of the most outra geous sort, that even the President himself lets himself, either willingly or unconsciously, be made accessory t© their sehemes, the time for an over throw is at hand. Worse than this could hardly happen; lower than this we cannot get, and retain a semblance of good government. A remedy is pos- ible and can be made effective ; it is to root out—spite of federal patronage aud military power, and subservient rings, legislative and otherwise—the administration which is the responsi ble cause of our national Jishoner. The San Francisco Post says: “Shortly after Bret liarte arrived in California he called upon a lady whose acquaintance he formed on the steam er, aud upon being asked the usual question, ‘How are you pleased with California'/’ rtqilied: ‘I am disgusted. I never was so disappointed in all my life. Why, would you believe it, I have been loreed to drive a laundry wagon to keep myselftrom starving;and should not have touud your residence had I not called next door to take away dirty clothes, and seen your boy in the yard. It is certainly a noble trait in the character ot Bret Harte that he pre- fered to stoop to any honorable means to gain his living, rather than run in debt or be a tax on his friends He was as much a geutleinau, then car rying dirty clothes, as he is now as the boon companion ot the first geniuses ot the laud. He at that time woo a host of friends by bis uniformily kind care of his sister, his neat appearance and refined manners. The Radical party seems to be bor dering on spontaneous combustion, having become so utterly rotten and corrupt that even the cohesivo power of public plunder cannot hold it togeth er much longer. As the sage of Cbappaqua used to s *y “Courage, boys! There’s a good time coming! Distinction is the consequence, ney er the object of a great misd.
