While in that city, attending the sessions of
the Southern Press Association a few weeks
ago, onr attention was directed to this new en
terprise, and we were well impressed with the
sound practical philosophy of the scheme, which
was elaborated by the leading merchants and
business men of Mobile who own and control it.
The financial future of this country is one of
the most uncertain things in the world. Wheth
er this stupendous fabric of national credit
which has been erected by the government and
which has become, in time, the foundation of
almost all other individual and corporate cred
its, shall survive even the shocks of peace and
ultimately harmonize its vast proportions with
the monetary and financial systems of the out
side world is itself a problem, which must bring
many an anxious thought to the capitalist and
the man in control of large funded and trust
properties.
But should it outlive the chapter of material
and political accidents of peace, how will it sus
tain the fierce shocks of war ? When the public
credit is strained to its utmost tension but little
more will snap the cord. It is the last straw
which breaks the camel's back; and when the
foundation credits give way the whole fabric
totters and falls. In such a catastrophe the en
tire range of stocks and securities, which now
constitute the chief representatives of value in
the United States, would either be destroyed or
temporarily disabled. .
On such views as these the Alabama Gold
Life Insurance Company is founded, upon the
plan of dealing in nothing but gold. Its capi
tal stock was paid in in gold, and its premiums
are collected and losses paid in gold. It is meet
ing with extraordinary success, and we do not
doubt that, in the conrse of a year, it will take a
leading position, not only in the South, butin all
sections of the Union, and in all the great cities
of the North and West; for it is the intention
of the directory to push the operations of this
company in all the American centres of capital
They believe it is a scheme which will commend
itself to the good sense and confidence of the
country.
The general agents of this company for the
State of Georgia are Messrs. Whitfield and
Boro, of Newnan, who, we presume, will secure
a proper representation of its claims in all im
portant points in the State.

ment in Augusta to raise and send to Washing

says that five gentlemen wero to leave that city
at three o'clock Tuesday morning on that errand
in behalf of Augusta. They were Mayor Rus

"othing about this movement in Macon or the

should hold over l>eyond that time, everything

Chinese Immigration.
A correspondent of a New York journal pre
dicts that there will soon be on immense rush
of emigration from China to this country. The
interest which the subject has awakened among
the Chinese is shown by an article in the Shang-
hae Daily News, which sets forth elaborately
and in a most attractive manner the advantages
of a residence in California. Among other re
commendations it is mentioned “that those who
believe in ‘Buddha’ will be permitted to erect
temples without let or hindrance.” The pros
pect of having suffrage under the fifteenth
amendment is not announced, the news of the
passage of the resolution submitting that ques
tion to tho States - not having then reached
China, nor, if it had, is it likely -that it would
have been much of an inducement to a practi
cal, working people like the Chinese, who, like
most people who find it hard to obtain the bare
means of subsistence, do not over-estimate the
importance of political privileges. At the same
time, when this power is placed in their hands,
they will be very likely to employ it in the first
place for purposes of self-protection, and, hav
ing tested its efficacy in that respect, the poli
ticians will soon put them in the way of using
it for other purposes. If the emigration from
the East to the United States shall prove as
great as is anticipated, or even very consider
able, it will be curious, at least, to note its
effect in cose the fifteenth amendment is
adopted.

A Negro Standing Army in tbe South.
We are sorry to learn from the Charleston
News that Gov. Scott, of South Carolina, is
raising a standing army of negroes in that State,
in the pretended cause of civil ordor. The News
says:
We learn that on Monday last orders were re
ceived at Abbeville Court-house for the imme
diate formation of a company of negro State
troops. The nows that sixteen dollars a month,
army rations, and perhaps & uniform, could be
had for tho asking, spread like wildfire, and
within twenty-four hours about fifty negroes
were enrolled. Many of them had been work
ing steadily in the field, but abandoned their
employers without leave or warning. No pnblic
notice of this new prank was taken by the white
people of the district; but Hutson Lomax, a
colored member of the Legislature, and an
other prominent Radical, sent to Columbia an
urgent request that the order for the enlistment
of the negroes should be revoked, or at least
suspended. This was, wo beliove, the condition
of affairs in Abbevillo three days ago. ;
Abbeville, at the time that the enlistment of
negro soldiers began, was in a condition of pro
found peace. The laws, uncouth and anama-
Ions as they are, were being regularly executed.
No colored man was treated harshly or severely.
Every white man was laboring steadily to im
prove his position, and to forget, if possible, for
a little while, that the ancient commonwealth of
South Carolina was ruled by the emancipated
slave, the vicious renegade and the beggarly
stranger. There was no shadow of turmoil or
wrong in the whole district.
33iere la no community in the United States
which would not be utterly disorganized and in
censed to fury by the attempt to. dragoon ,tbe
whites with an armed negro militia.- If Scott
wants to breed a civil war in South Carolina in
a month, let him persist in this thing. \ , y
English Manufactcmno Districts.—-Great
distress exists in the English manufacturing
districts, and the scarcity of employments is in
creasing.
Light Frosts, as we notioe, have singed the
gardens vegetables a little within the last few
days, but in general they are not materially
hurt.

N^w York, March 5.—The Herald’s Mexico
correspondent says the civil wnr in the State of
Tamaulipas continues to rage with unabated
fury. A party of rebels near Vergas defeated
Escobedo's troops near Villa Grossa, capturing
his equipage, archives, and §27,000 in specie.
The same party attacked the city of Linares,
but were repulsed with heavy loss.
Escobedo’s policy toward tho rebels is of tho
most bloody and relentless character. Nothing
but extermination satisfies him. He has given
orders to have shot all foreigners who are not
provided with passports. Two American traders
on their return from Saltillo to the Rio Grande,
were robbed by the military, then shot and their
bodies hung on trees.' ..

Correspondence of iho Baltimore Sun.] ,
It may bo set down as pretty certain, now
that an adjournment sine die will be had on next
Saturday, the House having promptly concurred
in the Senate's amendment to that effect to its
resolution. To get everything up, business will
be moved during this week and it is quite prob
able that night sessions will be resorted to.
The extremists in both houses will make a
desperate effort to pas3 a bill of some kind for
Georgia, but their success cannot be assumed,
as there are other matters necessary to be con
sidered which may push off the Georgia matter,
which, if so, will not be a subject of much re
gret, as many people, including even orthodox
Republicans, think Georgia can manage to exist
without any further congressional interference.
Gov. Bullock, however, who has been here
some time, is at the capital daily, and never
rests in his attempts to induce congressional
action in such a way as to further the particular
interests of his clique. The President is nnder-
stoood to have expressed to Mr. Bullock his
doubts of the lei “ ‘ - - - -
igality of any further interference
by Congress, but, like the cautious man he is,
qualifies his doubts with the assertion that
there are better lawyers in Congress than he,
and he supposes they will know what is right.
A second delegation of Georgians also called
on the President, which was headed by Hon.
Joshua Hill, and representing the conservative
element, 'they are utterly opposed to the rule
of Bullock and his friends, and want a State
government upon the theory and principle ad
vocated by ex-Gov. Brown and Alexander H.
Stephens and others, and are endeavoring to
convince the President and Congress that peace
will be more speedily restored by looking in
that direction than in any other.
The Union Pacific Railroad imbroglio is tho
special order in the Senate to-morrow, and it is
thought will occupy the entire day. There are
several amendments to be offered to the House
bill, and quite a number of Senators have de
termined to speak on the subject. The fight is
a most interesting one, and is watched with
great anxiety by all forties here.
The President will this week send in his nom
inations as fast as they can be made out, as the
fortunate parties for all classes of positions have
been pretty much all determined upon. The
Senate will spare all the time it possibly can
from legislation to finish up the executive busi
ness, as Senators desire, if possible, to avoid
the necessity of a called extra session of the
Senate. They will certainly have to work like
beavers to prevent it.
Three days were taken up with discussing the
merits of General Longstreet, and many of the
Radical Senators who voted for him say that
they are glad he is confirmed, but they truly
hope the President will send in no more like him,
and it is very likely that the President will ac
quiesce in their wishes.
The bill to amend the judicial system of tho
United States,, having been amended by the
House, is now being considered by the Senate
judiciary committee, who will probably report
it with some future amendments, but in such a
shape as to secure the concurrence of both
houses. In anticipation of its passage there is
quite a lively anxiety among the legal fraternity
thronghout as to the prospective Occupants of
the new judgeships it creates.
For the additional jnstice of the Supreme
•Court, ex-Attomey General Evarts is promi
nently mentioned. For the fifteenth circuit
judgeships to be created, there are no end to
eminent lawyers who wiil be willing to serve
the government in that capacity. For the new
circuit judgeship of New York, ex-Senator Har
ris, of that State is most prominently men
tioned.
Northern Visitors at Aiken.—The Chronicle
and Sentinel, of Augusta, learns from Aiken,
that Thurlow Weed’s health is much improved.
Mr. Stetson, of the Astor House and ex-Secrota-
ry Seward were expected there, Senator Sprague
has engaged a famished house. Mrs. Sprague
and family and Miss Chase were expected to ar
rive on Wednesday.
There is a largo crowd of visitors' now at
Aiken, and many more are expected during the
present month.
The same paper also says:
We had tho pleasure of a call yesterday from
Mr. Derby, the enterprising New York pub
lisher, who owns a valuable fruit form near
Aiken, and whoso family have been spending
tho winter there. With him, we wero glad to
meet the Hon John E. Develin, Corporation
Attorney for tho city of New Yoik, who has also
been spending a few weeks with his family at
Aiken. (
* These gentlemen are very much pleased with
our delightful winter climate, and speak in fine
terms of their situation at Aiken.
Columbus Municipal Government.—The new
mayor and city administration wero inaugurated
on Monday. The Enquirer says:
Mayor Mott, in retiring, delivered a hand
some and well conceived valedictory address, in
which he briefly reviewed the condition of tho
city affairs as he found them, as he administer
ed them, and as he left them ; and concluded
by declaring that if in the past there had been
any differences between himself and his fellow
citizens, that on his own part Ire then and there
buried them all. The inaugural address of
Mayor McRhenny was appropriate and sugges
tive of business. i -; , . . ■ >
The new city government has struck for the
most rigid economy. The salary of the Mayor is
fixed at §1,000; clerks $1,200; marshal, deputy
and two bridge kepers $1,000 each; wharfinger
$600; city physician $800, and so on. i,
Tbe Old Intelligencer—Interesting
Rumor. . . . /
A dispatch to the New York Herald says:
It is whispered about in certain confidential
circles that Senator Sprague contemplates the
purchase Of the old National Intelligencer, now
completely run to seed, and that he intends to
give it a new lease of life in engineering a new
political movement} on an independent tack, in
behalf of Chief Justice Chase for the succession.
How the old InteUigencer'apparently flourished
under Andy Johnson is a marvel to the uni ti
nted, and the solution of the myBtery will prob
ably involve some very remarkable develop
ments. Let it suffice, for the present, -that in
losing tho sops of the kitchen it is said to be
hard up, nnd that Senator Sprague can get it
cheap for cash.' Looking at his recent bold and
independent course in the Senate these rumors
have the air of plausibility, and there may be
something in them. Unquestionably, a Wash
ington newspaper under Sprague’s Control, lead-

Messrs. Editors : My attention has been called
to a card in the Telegraph of 21st ult, in whidt
my name appears as having “absconded.” I »-
gret very much that I ever knew the man Craft
He was taken reluctantly into the firm of A. B.
Sibley & Bro—he never put Into it ono dollar, but'
professed to be skilled in the business of a tobac
conist—to Lave extensivo acquaintance and inlhl-
ence in that line, and promised to devote his entire
attention to tho interests of the firm. Instead,
however,_ of giving his attention to tho business, bo
opened, in East Macon, a little grocery and bar-
room, which occupied his timo and attention, and to
establish and keep up which he regularly drew from
our bouse without toy consent.
Craft owed the house, when I left, over seven teen
hundred dollars; the house owed me aboutfourtoen
hundred dollars, winch will fully appear from air*
examination of tho books. I took from tbe drawer;.
before I left, one thousand and eighty dollars,
charging myself on the books with that amount.
After my arrival home, I wrote Craft proposing t(r
withdrew, he assuming all liabilities. The liabili
ties at that time were small—not as much as CraA
was still duo the House. I stated in my letter to

If it was not tho fact that many have reari hw
card, who know nothing or very little of either of
us, I would not take any public notice of it.
I was bom and raised in Georgia, and my ante
cedents aro known—and where I'am known it is
impossible tor such a creature to domo tho slightest'
injury. In conclusion, I ask pardon of the public-,
for calling their attention to this man. When such
obnoxious creatures must be bandied, it should, at

The Catholic Fair.—Tho Catholic Church in this
city is indebted to the Henry Homo estate about
612,000. It is necessary to discharge this indebted
ness very shortly. • '•>•’ I ■■
; With a view of Raising. the money, the ladies of
tho Church and the Congregation aro now holding a
Fair in one of the huge store rooms •under the La-
nier House. It opened on Monday night, and was
again in progress last evening. ,
1. The firet object of attraction upon entering the’
room is the Fountain. It is placed in. what is ap
propriately called The Grotto. In its construction
it is interlaced with cylindrical glass tubes, exter
nally endless; tut connected with an unseen pipe
running'aloft; through the whole of which water
percolates. The effect is beautiful; and is ’ the in
vention of Mrs. Bonaud. This & to be balloted for
and given to the Railroad President having thei
highest number. . . Mu
' Passing to the stalls: 1. This contains silver plate,
and is presided overby Miss Ward. 2. Needlework.
In this stall is a beautiful Afghan quilt. It is pre
sided over by Mrs. Barker. 8. This is the stall of
Mre. Adderhold, and a splendid one it is. It is
called “Charity,” and contains a hundred' beautiful
designs and specimen’s of needlework. : Among the
rest is a Piano Cover made by tho Sisters of Mercy.
4 and 5, Mre. Waggenstein presiding, contains Tar
bio Ware and Fancy Articles. 6. Silver and Glass
Ware. 7. The Gypsey Tent. 8. Hie Refreshment
Table. This is tho greatest attraction in the whole
room, and is presided over by Mrs. Bonaud. It 13
unnecessary to say that the refreshments are what
itheir Dame implies—especially tho Coffee. 9. Tho
“Wine Stand, Misses Knott and Kennedy. : • 1 >! 1 •«
{ . In this end of tho room is “The Southern Bride,”
(wax,) hut dressed in the richest satin, bows, lace,
etc. .It was made by Mrs. Robert Schmidt, and is
one of the loading features of the Fair. All, these
stalls aro elegantly arched with evergreens, .and
could scarcely be improved upon. U I iW Mm
There aro to be four ballots. 1st. The Fountain,
to a Railroad President. 2d. .A Service of Silver,’to
a Bank President. 3d. An Easy Chair to a Minis
ter. 4tli. A Star to a Policeman.
There aro so many attractions, wo presume the
placowillbo thronged each night, and that the re
ceipts will aggregate a largo sum.

yesterday found on a branch near tho residence of
