This increased longevity of tho human nee, under proper conditions and treat ment, must tend constantly to cheapen life insurance. Physical laws appear to operate as uniformly under normal dr- cum-tanoe«. as any other of tho calcula tions of human science. Thus tho death in every thousand persona for a given numlnir of yean*, will l>c found to approx imate very nearly to an average number annually, in lygiooa of uniform climate iuiiI salubrity. Just in that degree, then, that the h*«lthfiitn«ss of the people can ho pro- moted, will thin mortality diminish, and insurance consequently grow loss. Upon tho subject of life insurance, however, we notice an able article in a New York paper, calling attention to th ioipottuw of rigid medical examination* So much of the revenue of tho country is niiforb#! by the premiums annually phld to tho *e companies, and the conse quences of their failure would prove such a calamity to thousands of needy families, that ue safeguard should lie locking for th -ir protection.

Mr. j Brown was born in Colchester, Connecti- I cut, but had lived so long in Columbus j that he might well be regarded as one of our first and oldest citizens.

He also invented a saw gin for Sea Island Hunks Rcsuniinpr — Currency Plenty. The telegrams report that some of tin 1 sinks in New York are honoring checks and greenbacks ore quite plenty. They have boon so for a month past—but only locked up. All the Banks and the people had to do was to turn the key and bring them out. If they had locked upall their shirts in the aamo way and ordered no more, Wonld’nt oviry man of them have been practically shirtless, though all might have hail two doten apiece P Precisely so it was with the greenbacks. VYhilo every man was groaning over the frin/eney, everybody knew that in th* very crisis at it, there, yrero twenty-five millions more of currency in ’New York city than there was a week before, when tnonoy was abundant. So also one bonk in Chicago honored the check, of its • depositors yesterday. ■Well tho*e arc rascally tithts and perhaps will justify paying for a dispatch an nouncing that one irank in Chicago has included no longer to keep forcible pos session of other -people’s money.

The public mooting heltj in^Charle^ton on the f»th to protest n^iin>t the outrage upon tho property-holder* of that city, called in fbotrery an “election” was very numerou* and determined. It was stated m the floor by citixan* of the highest position and responsibility that over thir teen thousand illegal votes had been polled, and tho determination was ex pressed to protect the incumbent city government in tho possession of their of fices until all legal remedies have been ex hausted to set aside the so-called elec- ▲1m! with such a judiciary as corses the Palmetto State, it may well be doubted whether the courts afford the tallest remedy against any outrage of this kind. Whatever chance for self pro tection might $xist for the tax-paying ainority in tluitj city *nd State existed be fore and not qfter the election, But the :han<*e was small at best. Tho tone of tho meeting and the re irks of tho News and Courier upon it. however, show that the Charleston prop erty-holders have learned that nothing is gained by concession and snbmis- o wrong.

Drr.tNO the year ending October 1st, the police of Augu>ta made 1,668 arrest*, of which pmaber there were 251 white* for drunkenness, and only 107 negroes. Rather a bad showing^for the whites. During the same, time^ there were six arrof4 for murder. ThE" monthly sale* at * Augusta on Tuesday were not very lively, aa bidders were scared and currency scarcer. Fifty shares of Augusta Factory stock, including quarterly dividend of five ]>cr cent., were sold at $195 per share, One hundred shares of Augusta and Summerville Street Railway stock brought $90 per share. Tine monthly sole* at Savannah pre sented the same general features as those at Augusta. AtLont’c and Gulf guaran teed stock 1/earing seven per cent, inter est sold at $20 per share, and sixteen shares of Central Railroad stock brought $73 50 per share. Mules and horse* ranged from $S5 to $115 each. The U. S. Marshal sold 405 acres of land in Mad ison county for $75, and 2.625 acres, known as the Jaa. J. Taylor plantation, in Early county, for $200. We find the following items in the Co lumbia Sun of Wednesday afternnoon: River Cotton—LittleSwrp#D Above Errsola.—The steamboats have brought to Columbus since August 31st 1,086 bales of cotton, against 363 last year. The great majority of the cotton has beeen re ceived from points below Enfaula. Little a* yet ha* been shipped from the large plantation* above that point. River News.—The N»-w Jackson ar rived late Monday night and left yester- lay morning. She brought one hundred and fifty bale* of cotton, mostly from the lower river, and other freight. The Jock*on being the lightest boat, met the Farley at Howard’s landing below Eu faula. and there exchanged freight*, when tho Farley returned to Bainbridgi and Apalachicola. The boats are to be run this way until the river rises. The New Jackson runs twice a week to and from thi* point, and the Farley comes up from Apalachicola as far os she can to meet her. , , Tiiocairr he Will Die.—-The lab 1 trains of yesterday bring the intelligence that the life of Mr. John S. Pollard, Treasurer of the Montgomery and Mo bile railroad has boon despaired of. He is a son of Colonel Charles T. Pollard of Montgomery. He left Montgomery last week for Auburn, where tho yellow fever which had been imbibed into his system developed itself. He wa* reported better Monday afternoon, but a change for the worse was evidenced yesterday. There a possibility that his life may yet be savea. * P. S.—He is dead. Executivr Clemency the Last Hope. A private telegram received yesterday states that the Associate Justice to whom the application was made to carry the case of Mr. Milton Malone before tho Supreme Court of the United States, has refused the writ of error. So there ia nothing left save Executive clemency. Mrs. Clara Botkin Billups, daughter of Jo*. Boykin, one of the earliest settlers of :Columbus, died in that place on Wednesday. The death of ** Rush,” the “ famous English fox hound, well known through out Middle and Western Gtxwgia and Eastern Alabama,” is anuo meetl in the Columbus Enquirer of Wednesday.— Which it wa* a locomotive that did for poor “ Rush.” x TnE Savannah Advertiser and Repub lican says tho financial and commercial outkxik in that city Is very fovorable at present. It learn* that $106,000 in cur rency were received in Savannah on Tuesday from the North, and . that one of the bank* sold seven thousand pounds sterling exchange the same clay. The Constitutionalist says the Bank of Augusta, resumed currency payment in full of all checks drawn by depositors on Tuesday, and that the deposit* that day exceeded the amount payed out. Mr. C. W. Howard made a speech on Tuesday night at Augusta, explanatory of the object* and purposes of the “Pat rons of Husbandry.” Among otlierthinga he said thi* as to the psiablisbumnt of a Granger’s bank : It is projected by the grange* to estab lish a bank of accommodation also for the benefit of farmer*, supplying them with money at a low rate of interest, with which to run their farms. It is be lieved that 12.000 bale* of cotton can be controlled by the State Grange, upon which .i capital of $l,000|00ff could be se cured for this bank. Whan the organi zation is completed, and the amount of the present cotton crop of Georgia is somewhat definitely ascertained, it is also propo-ed that the State Grange shall fix the price of cotton for this crop at 18 or 20 cents, or such sum as in their judg- nient may seem U -t. -DAY DISPATCHES.

Mr. Brown died this city, Wednesday morning, of second attack of apoplexy. His first attack, two years ago, was severe, but he rallied from it, and, old a* he was, applied himself resolutely to his daily labor. His age was about 73 years. He was a brother of Israel Brown, of New London, Conn., and of E. E. Brown, the Brown Hotel, Macon—both men eminence in their respective callings. He was a man of extensive reading and va ried information, of an inquiring and ever-active mind. But he made no show of learning and no boast of any of his achievements. A plain, honest, kind- hearted, intelligent and useful man, his life was blameless and one of unmixed benefit to hi* fellow-men.

The Northeastern Kaliway Freight Depot In Ruins—Two Men Killed and Others Badly Injured. As we never get the Charleston News and Courier until two or throe days after the date of publication, we have been without information, till yesterday, of the damage# resulting from the cyclone that visited Charleston on Monday afternoon, and which resulted very disastrously both to property and human life. It commenced between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, swept across the city in a northwesterly direction and struck the freight depot of the North eastern railway breaching the brick wall as if it had been subjected to a cannon ade, tearing off the roof completely, and then levelling the walls to the ground 1 The building was 250 feet long by forty wide, and a number of men were at work inside at the time. Admonished by the omniou* crashing sound as the tornado struck it, they attempted to escape but were overtaken by a shower of falling timbers, splinters and roofing. John Miller, foreman of hands, wa* killed out right, and John Kennealy, a laborer so fatally injured as to cause hia death that sight. Seven others were injured, some of them seriously, and two mules and one horse killed. The damages is estimated at from $50,000 to $75,000. No loco motive* or car* were injured.

In jterforroinij the sadd utr of paying YVliat Began the Panic. Gath,” the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, offers some ob servations on this head that are very readable, and true as readable. One of ‘Gath's’*' prime virtues—in* fact his strongest suit—is his correct appreciation of the man “who represents nothing but a large number of presents.” He says; It will not be correct, either, to say that the failure of Jay Cooke & Co. solely, or in the first place, brought on the panic. The proportions of the house made the loudest report when it fell, but the first break was made by the Brooklyn Trust Company, and the New York, Midland and Oswego* railroad. It began, indeed, with the repudiation of interest by Ben Holli day and several other American railroads, with the depleted condition of the South ern States, and with Credit Mobilier. Talk of confidence among common people, when Colfax, Henry Wilson, Da we*, Pat terson, Conkling, Brook*, etc., are seen to have been the recipients of Union and and Central Pacific railroad favors or fee* ? Talk of confidence when the Pres ident's whole magisterial career has been that of a man more indignant at hi* par tisan* for their virtues than for their crime*! Confidence, forsooth, when Bingham is sent to Japan and Newman to Polynesia, and when the secular press is put to it* trumps to save the Metho dist Book Concern from such defalcation as Carlton’s! Confidence ceases when the farmer and mechanic is Convinced that almost everybody to whom he dele gates his money and suffrage is feather- that higher nest And lock-pay made the millions button their pocket*. The failure of Jay Cooke was the failure of the Grant p:irty*s policy - for that party is not the Republican party, and will not be allowed to carry off its princi ples ; Jay Cooke was a more potent name in the Union than Grantjhe represent'd the wages whicn made so many la)coring men vote the bankers* ticket last year. Grant represents nothing but a large number of Dres**nts, and a grer.t deal of loose appre- lendon. In this country, security in any Presidential term begins at the top. Having elected a President, the people suspend vigilance, and trust to their Chief Magistrate. If he makes an ex ample' of every low fellow in his civil, list, every defaulter, every bad example- in morals, and raises to example every bold and prudent exemplar, Hie heads below him tremble. But the President horn the bond-selling world re-elected is deficient both in pride and example. We never had one who began with so little, and slid so far back. Possession increases the density of his ignorance, as barnacle grows more stony by long- clinging. Until our people arouse and make this Shelfish feel by their displeas ure—he who conquered by attrition and as prolonged bv insensibility—there is real political life in America. Le Roi amuse. The Western Democracy on Specie Payment Resumption. Senator Thurman, of Ohio, who may perhaps be regarded as the representative of the Western Democracy, made the financial situation the chief topic of his speech at Kenton in that State last Tues day. He reviewed the cause* which in duced the panic and then described the various remedies proposed therefor. He divided the country into creditor States— New York, PmmylvanU, anil New Eng land. and debt *r 9t.ite-=—the Western and Southern. JThe efleet of the resump tion of specie payment, in his opinion, would compel every man who owes $5 to pay $6, and -would have a most crushing effect upon the debtor States. On this subject he continued: “I do not believe can ever tion of the Republican party, the colored Republicans passed resolutions declaring themselves ready to adopt at any time their own policy in regard to any action or proposed action of the Republican party.

Dublin, October 9.—The Irish cultural Laborers' Union, in event of the government failing to settle the question of waste lands in Ireland, have decided to emigrate to the United States en masse. NIGHT -DISPATCHES. The Alliance. New York, October 9.—In the Alliance paper was read on the church and the nation, by Rev. W. H. Freeraantle, of London. He favored the principle that Christum nation*, the church and the state arc* idmitical, and there can be no alliance between them, for they are not independent powers. He believed that future the pulpit will speak more of civil government and law, and legisla tures will feel more the influence of re ligion. The judges and the magistrates are the true elders of the day, and in the Scripture the authority of the ruler is more insisted upon than that of the teacher as come from God. /knother paper on the influence of Christianity in civil and religious liberty by Rev. J. L. M. Curry, L.L.D. of Rich mond Virginia, followed on the sKiiie ubje^t. He said lias not every per son a right to worship God free from civil molestation ? Liberty is not an un restrained licenser, it imposes laws and obligations, a* well as guarantees privi leges. The right of freedom of worship is sacred. 'When the church and state are united the state practically assumes in fallibility abrogates the right to say what sliall be the church and not unfrequently use* civil officers to enforce religious dis ipline. Religious liberty was not con sidered by the framers of our Constitu tion as anything but a right. (Applause.) Religious liberty with us, is no longer an experiment, but an established fact, meet ing the hearty approval of every religious denomination and political party through out our land. (Loud applause.) The union of church and state is wrong in principle and injurious in practical oper ation. (Applause.) The establishment of a union would be an injury to the State. The church, when thus united, offer* premium upon hypocrisy, for men affect religion in order to be come sheriff, magistrate, or gain some civil office. Under such union a man’s right to worship God is not God- given, but a political grace. (Laughter.) union is wrong to the citizens generally. It robs them of their property, for when government takes from the people more than enough for it* legitimate af fair* it commit* robbery. (Applause.) It is a wrong to our holy religion, because it makes Christianity depend upon civil power. It disown* the holy spirit and seeks other enjoyment of peace. Mr. Curry had reached a very interest ing part of" hi^ discourse when the bell called him to order. The audience called londly for a continuance. Mr. Crook arose and stated that as many invited guest* from abroad, enter taining entirely different views, were present, he thought it would be discour teous and unchristianly to continue the discussion. The speaker’s voice was drowned in cries for “Curry! Curry!” In re*spon>e, Mr. Curry arose and said that as he bided by the rule of limitation most emphatically, he protested against being timed by the chairman as discour teous and unchristianlike. The uproar that here ensued wa3 terrific, with loud call* for “Curry! Carry!” accompanied by stamping of feet, etc. In the din, the voice of the chairman struggled to be heard. Finally comparative order was restored, and Mr. Crooks persuaded the vast audience to be consktarate. He (Crooks) had been informed by a visiting friend that the discussion was very pain ful to him, and he (Crook) doubted not that he agreed with Mr. Curry in hi* views upon the topic; but respect for the views of our friends advise* us to cease of the church to the state The W.
