WEDNESDAY The Pied ho nt and Arlington Insure ance CojfrAirS —We refer with-'pleasure to the advertisement oi the above named company, contained in to-day’s issue, giving awEA* - ■a* The new home of its agency has been fitted up in most tgtylq, r- TJ* windows, carta ins, and decorations at tract and please. The office .itself has a complete outfit of fine furniture, and pre sents to the visitor an exceedingly attraSt ive appearance. The Cotton States Me chanics’ and Agricultural Pair Association has its office in the same rooms. The subject of life insurance has assumed an Importance which even now commands the best talent and business knowledge in the country, and will, with a better under standing of its benefits and results, .con tinue to increase for very many years to come. The Piedmont and Arlington Life Insur ance Company has been a remarkable ex ample of success. Started but a few years since, it has now assets of over $2,000,000, and in proportion to its age, boasts a larger increase of business last year than any company in the United States. The branch office Board of Directors, whose names ap pear in the advertisement, are well known to our commercial circles, and elsewhere, as gentlemen-of the highest business quali fications and unimpeachable integrity. The General Agent, Dr; T. Stanley Beckwith, came to our city some time since personal ly known to but few, and by close atten tion to his duties, affable manners and the exhibition of a thorough knowledge of business, together with a promptness in meeting engagements highly commend able, has succeeded in acquiring the full confidence of oar citizens. Besides the advantages flowing from an able Directory, issues, as stat ed, a large variety of policies, meeting al most every want of the insurer, and secur ing to him the object desired. The sur plus realized in any Btate Is invested there on bond and mortgage at legal interest, thereby keeping the money at home and benefiting our people, fheroare now, we learn, quite a number of loans made to citizens of South Carolina ou these terms. The company has paid every loss prompt ly and faithfully, and has received unqual out the Southern ’fetates. More thaii *ten thousand policies have been issued in the short space of less than three years, find at every point attention is being directed towards it and its management. With cautious, competent and upright Directors, and with the confidence reposed in it by our people, it may truly be de signated as the “ Giant Life Insurance Company of the South.” Monument to Stonewall Jackson.— The immediate friends and admirers of the late Lieutenant General T. J. Jackson are now engaged in the praiseworthy effort to raise the funds requisite to erect a fitting memorial to this distinguished Christian soldier. For this purpose agencies are now being employed by the formation of auxiliary memorial associations in the several States, through which contributions are solicited in aid of this noble work. The scheme contemplates the erection of a Memorial Chapel at the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va., with which in stitution General Jackson was connected fourteen years as a Pjcofessor, and near to which his remains now lie. It is believed that such a memorial would tie most in harmony with the character of this re nowned Christian hero. It is proposed to place within this Memo rial Chapel a statue, in bronze or marble, to transmit to coming generations the fea tures, form, and expression of one whose name and virtues are alike known and honored throughout the civilized world, and who was a bright exemplar of what ever was true and noble and of good report among mep. C. W. Anderson, Esq., in Savannah, a graduate of the Military Institute, has been requested by General Smith to receive contributions from any of our citizens who may desire to contribute to this laudable and patriotic object, many of whom will, no doubt, be glad to attest their apprecia tion of the great and good man whose memory is to be thus honored. Death of Hon. W. P. DeSaussure.—A special dispatch to the Charleston News, on Monday, from Columbia, S. C., an nounces the death, on Sunday night, of Hon. W. F. DeSaussure, an old and highly esteemed lawyer in Columbia, who, in the purer days of tbe country, had been for several years an honored and respected member of the South Carolina Legislature. Mr. DeSaussure was in the 79th year of his age, having been born in Charleston, February 22d, 1793. The Columbia Phoenix pays the following just tribute to the dis tinguished Carolinian: Mr. DeSaussure was an eminent lawyer, served South Carolina both in the Legisla ture of his State and in the United States Congress; heki various offices of trust, and in every position occupied by him, performed his part with grace and fidelity. He was at once the inheritor and illus trator of a name honored in South Caro and a name associated with what is sound in judgment, refined In taste, pure in morals, and patriotic In conduct. These were the qualities that the deceased Caro linian so well Illustrated. : m PiIOKOOUATHER TO JCDOE PLATT’S Cni curr.—-Mr. F, G. DeFontalne has received the appointment of pbonognqriicr to Judge Platt's Judicial Circuit In South Carolina. An excellent selection. Mr. Henry Whitman, a graduate of the' State University, has become associated In tbe editorial control of tbs Dalton (itiun the contract for bulldiqgtbe passenger and freight cars for the Port Royal Railroad Notwithstanding the great dela£ in the grading afthe road bed, occasioned bv the continnous wet weather and high waters for the past two months, the work is bein~ and permanent road? We understand &cmi iMm. Quo. D. Chap man, who is building' thfs 'road, that 58 miles, extending from Yamassee (the junc tion of the Charleston and Savannah Rail road) creek, wijj be complitad ahd in running order by about the 15th May next, the iron for the entire line now being shipped from the mills where it is manu factured. . The 85 miles extending from Steel creek to the city of Augusta is rapidly approach ing completion, and the timber for the superstructure of the bridge across the Savannah river is being prepared. The progress and energy displayed in the push ing of the work on this road gives us every assurance that the entire line from Au gusta to Port Royal will be completed and opened for travel by the time promfeed by the builder (September next). This work when finished will add great ly to the wealth and importance of our growing city, and the gentlemen engaged in this enterprise have our hearty good wishes for its success. Meningitis.— The ravages of this fearful disease in various localities has attracted much of public attention to the proper treatment of the same. As our columns have already illustrated, medical men differ widely both as tb its origin and treatment. The subject was deemed worthy of a special report from a committee of the State Medi cal Society of Alabama, now in session in Montgomery. From the Mail of that city we take the following extract from, the report, which shows that the doctors differ and as a consequence the unfortunate patient must suffer. Dr. Ross made an able report upon ccre bro spinal meningitis. Dr. McDaniel, of Wilcox, looked upon it ag a type of catarrhal fever. i)r. Ross did not agree with him. Dr. Gilmer, of Mobile, thinks they are two poisons at work at the same time when they occur together,, thinks tliey are dependent upon entirely different causes. Dr. Reese, of Selma, does not think the patient is attacked as suddenly as generally stated, but thinks he has the poison in his system before, but does not know it. Dr. Ross thinks they aresuddenly attack ed and adduced examples. Dr. Cochran thinks there has been pre vailing a common epidemic, which first shows itself in influenza, then pneumonia, both attended with neuralgic pains. After these we have cerebro sffinal fever, which is attended with the samirnervons prostra tion and neuralgic pains. Dr. Baldwin agrees with Dr. McDaniel, that opium is beneficial, and has never found anything elso so. Dr. Michel thinks, from post tnortems he has made, that hog cholera resembles cere bral spinal menigitis in a remarkable de gree. The Aveky Lie Nailed by Northern Men —The infamous misrepresentations of one “Judge” Wm. L. Avery concerning Georgia and the character of her people have been promptly exploded by a number of Northern men in Savannah, who telegraph ed a denial of the truth of his statements to their friends in Washington. The fol lowing is a copy of a dispatch sent to several members of the House and Senate by a highly respectable Northern gentle man who is largely interested in works of internal improvement in this State: To Hon. Wm. B. Allison, M. C. Washington, D. C.: The dispatch signed Wm. L. Avery? dated Savannah, March 13, is not correct, and is a libel on the people of Georgia. I write you. [Signed] M. K. Jessup. Regulations Levyingthe Income Tax! —The following is furnished ,as the law hi reference to the levying and collection of the income tax: Section 119 p. 106, Act of June 30,1864, as amended, says: “ And be it further enacted, Tha,t the taxes on incomes herein imposed shall be levied on the Ist day of March, and be due and paya ble on or before the 30th day of April, in each year, until and including the year 1870, and no longer.” Heavy Reward for Yeboer.—A dis patch from Jackson says : ' There are no tidings from Yerger as yet. The Legislature passed a resolution appoint ing a committee to investigate the circum stances of his escape, and an effort was made to pass a bill instructing the Gov ernor to offer a reward of $25,000 for his apprehension ; also, to appropriate SIOO,OOO as a secret service fund. No definite ac tion was taken. The sheriff is making vig orous efforts for the apprehension of Yer ger. The Governor to-day submitted his first message to the Legislature, urging Im mediate legislation looking to a thorough reorganization of the judiciary. The Guillotine at Work. Dalton, March 14,1876. EdUor Constitution: You ought to see what a mad set of fellows are scattered all aloug the railroad. Last Thursday and Friday they were paid off, and in part pay ment each one received a scrip as follow*: “ $5. Half subscription for the Era." Two of the fellows cursed a little and were turned off. Yours, etc. # # The Government and the Exfuks* Business.—Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, Friday last, offered a resolution Instructing tbe Postal Committee to Inquire Into the pro priety of establishing a postal express to carry small paro l* at cheap rates. Why, to be sure, why not t The Govern meut Is only a machine to be ruu In all di rection* for the benefit of those who hold the strings, regardless of all private right* and Interests. A Nkobo Rom ahKm«Sa §MP*3b~ blwxl run cold. The details are about as follows : A ■'J’n Mr. Wm. A. Boswell fives near Waverly Hall, in Harris county, nineteen miles from Cos: ambus. He had a little boy about thirteen years of age. When John Robin son s circus was going from here to Hamil ftUMtuataauut of a wagon, which bore a portion of the animals, for which he was severely whipped ing hands he employed the negro on the 1/th of February. The colored man had behaved himself very well since as a la borer. On Sunday, Mr. 8., with his fkmily, went visiting after dinner, and left behind his little boy and thfs negro. All returned about o y p. m., when they found the house ransacked from one end to the other. The child was discovered lying dead on the floor of the hen house, with a hole made by a pistol ball through the head. The weapon had been fired so close that his hat was singed by the burning powder. The negro was gone. There was no money or valua ble portables in the house to move, but a pistol had been stolen. The supposition was that the negro had robbed the house and been discovered by the boy, whom lie had killed to prevent his telling. Pursuit was at once made after the ne gro. Three men from the neighborhood thought they had tracked him yesterday morning to this City, that lie was ahead of them only fifteen minutes, that he was in a store which they passed, and that he had afterwards crossed the new bridge into Ala bama. The jpfirties went oyer these in pur suit, but Wer£ recalled by a messenger stating that the murderer had been found within five miles of the scene of the trage dy, where he was then in custody. Since, we have lieard nothing.— Columbus Sun. Blodgett. —The Chicago Republican Is a little severe upon its political friend, Fos ter Blodgett, United States Senator elect from Georgia. It is true the distinguished scalawag is under an indictment for per jury, but we leave It to the candid reader to say if that feet justifies the Republican in talking about him thus: “ A document of the House of Repre sentatives, now before us, shows that Mr. Foster Blodgett, who goes to Washington as the Representative, par of Georgltt Unionism to contest the seat of Joshua Hill in the United States Senate, served twelve months in the rebel army. Mr. Blodgettjhimself testified, under oath, that he enlisted for twelve months’ service in that army, but says that he only served six months. His excuse is that his proper ty was liable to be confiscated and himself and family were exposed to dangers from the rebel populace, which oould only be averted by his enlisting in the Confederate service. Supposing all that Mr. Blodgett says to be true, how does it make him su perior to Joshua Hill, who was exposed to the same dangers as Mr. Blodgett and yet never found it necessary to take up arms against the United States ?” This last is an impertinent question and we would advise Mr. Blodgett not to an swer It. The Republican ought to Enow that the rebel populace exterminated all the Blodgetts and their families who did not enlist for twelve months’ service, but never troubled any of the Hills. [ Courier-Journal. The Woes of Whittkmobe —Hrs Ad ventures in Camden—Hooted Down- Tub School Commissioners—Press Con fbrenoe.—Columbia, 'March r<3.—Wlltte more attempted to deliver a speech at Cam den on Monday last, but was interrupted so much that he had to cease. All he said was: “ Fellow-citizens..”— Yells from the crowd: “ Who sold cadet ships ?” Whittemore—/did not. John Chesnut, a colored member of the Legislature, shouted: “You did, you are a d—d liar.” This broke up the meeting. Yesterday Whlttcmore spoke at the same place to a large crowd of colored persons, denying his guilt, and justifying, yet ex pressing sorrow for what he had done. Chesnut followed and showed up the rev erend scoundrel. The feeling of the meet ing, especially among-the negro women, was with Whittemore. The Convention of School Commission ers is in session. The Press Conference meets to-night. The attendance is large and Influential. [Special Telegram to Charleston Notes. PLANTATION BITTERS AS AN APPE TIZER.—Want of appetite 13 a sure sign that the stomach is out of order. AH persous in perfect health relish their food, and it may be regarded as a rule to which there are do excep tions, that Individuals who are never hungry can not be entirely well. To eat without en joyment Is a penance, and sustenance taken into the stomach against the inclination does not nourish the system as it ought to do. Tbe best known remedy for a distaste or disinclina tion for food is Plantation Bitters. A wine glasslnl taken half an hour before breakfast, inner, or supper, quickens tbe flow of gastric juice, and thereby provokes hunger, for the palate sympathizes with the stomach. Nor can the appetite thus created be called a lalee appetite, for fc is a legitimate consequence of a neW energy imparted to the digestive organs by this wholesome medicated stimulant. “Sea Moss Marine will prove a great bless ing to the poor. It is so cheap that it is within tbe reach of all. It is by far the most nutri tious and deiightlul preparation that has ever come to our notice.”— Observer. mhl3-suwf*c “ I WISH I WAS DEAD I” IS AN Ex pression not (infrequently made nse of by tbe dyspeptic and sufferer from liver disease, tbe depressed spirits urfittiDg the mind for any thing, and almost driving him to despair.

The lost Medical Journal contains an article from Prof. R. <5. Newton, M.JX, President of the £. Medical College, city ol New York, that speaks in high terms of its curative prop erties, and gives a special recommendation of Koskoo to tbe practitioners of medicine. Tbls is, we believe, tbe first instance where such medicines have been officially endorsed by the Faculty of any of the Medical Colleges, and reflects great credit upon tbe skill of Dr. Law rence, its compounder, and also puts “Kos koo " In the van of all other medicines of tbe present da y.—Norfolk Daily Journal, 11M. feb2B-6m ■——♦!»•<■> The Columbus Sun, of Thursday, say* the negro murderer, of Harris county, has not been burnt or " lost," as reported. He Is safely lodged In TalbotUm Jail. Parties yesterday were in pursuit of another ne gro, who was concerned In Urn affair, and chased him within twelve milts of Colum bus. He Is yet at laige. * nogromao in his employ, in which the nemo was severely wounded by a gun shot in the throat. Cheatham was arrested and gave bail to answer an Indictment. On Friday, the State Board of Educa lie lands be given to South Carolina for educational purposes ;.«lao, asking that the so-called abandoned lands in Beaufort be sola and the proceeds devoted to the cause of education. This resolution was passed by a strict party vote of 18 to 10, after an angry debate. There was an incendiary fire at Ridge way on the 15th, by which the barn and stable and outhouses of Mr. Howell Ed munds were destroyed. The [>ost office of George’s Creek, Pick ens county, has been re-established, and Miss Helen E. Hawkins appointed post mistress. In accordance with the order of Judge Carpenter, the execution of Friday Nixon (colored) will take place privately, in the jail yard at Charleston, on Friday next. To prevent persons from seeing the hang ing from the windows of the houses over looking the jail yard, a shed has been or dered to be erected over the gallows. On Thursday, four men, Messrs. John W. Sawner, J. Coleman, John Ferguson, and B. Gunn, started In a small boat from Morris Island to visit Charleston. In a few moments after starting, the masts and sails were blown away, and they drifted rapidly out to sea, at the mercy of the winds and waves, vainly endeavoring to attract the attention of vessels in view. Fortuuatcly. after they had passed the lightship, Captain Audersou, the com mander, observed the boat, and inferring that its crew were in a helpless condition, sent a boat to their assistance, and brought them to the lightship, from which tliev were afterwards taken by Mr. Hugh Fer guson, who had been cruising, around at sea in a tug for several hours, on Friday, in search of his friends. Peter Holmes (colored), who killed Mr. Fraser Mathews, of Beaufort, lu 1868, and has evaded arrest ever since, was arrested at the phosphate works, nine miles from Charleston, on Friday, by a colored con stable, Thomas Hamilton, who tracked his prisoner from Savannah. Several colored men attempted to rescue Peter, but desist ed upon ascertaining that Hamilton was armed and intended $o resist all attempts ;tt rescue- The prisoner Eras carried to Beaufort yesterday. ■ A destructive Ore occurred at Anderson on Thursday, burning the dwellings of Cajit. Daniels and Samuel Crawford, Esq. Monroe County Items.— We clip the following Items from the MOnroe Advertiser, of Tuesday: Fruit.—Notwithstanding the freeze last week, we still think the fruit prospect very good. Some of it is killed, without a doubt, but if flo disaster befells that which re mains, there will be enough for “ home con sumption.” Wheat.— The condition of wheat in this section, from all the information we cau gather on the subject, still continues to be very promising. We are told by those who ought to know that If the seasons are at all favorable, the crop will be something more than an average one. Corn.— Those of onr farmers who had planted corn previous to the rains of last Friday and Saturday will probably have theirwork to do over again. The recently plowed lands in many portions of the coun ty are terribly washed, we learn, and much damage done to forming operations in various ways. Hilliard Institute.— Wc are glad to learn that tills institution is in a flourish ing condition. Quite a large number of pupils are in attendance—with the prospect of material additions. We are glad to note this evidence of the advancement of our educational interests. Guano.— We are Informed by Mr. Lake, the railroad agent here, that an average of five car loads of guano have bsen received at this point every day since the season opened. The aggregate of these receipts amonnts to something remarkable, and in dicates a surprising disposition on the part of our agricultural friends to Invest in fer tilizers. Distressing.— We learn that Jim Wilkes, one of the "characters” around Forsyth, shot himself the other day, though not dangerously. It came near “ footing his bill," however, and he is deeply Impressed with the Idea that fire-arms are unpleasant things to handle. He says that, “ under the present constitution," he Wont touch them any more. Bridges.— The results of the flood last week seem to have been disastrous. We learn that the middle tier of the Wilson bridge, on the Indian Springs rood, has been washed away, rendering it unsafe for travel. We also learn that the new Lamar bridge has gone “ the way Ward’s ducks went”—to-wlt: down the river. B.vrnervjlle and Thomaston- Bail road.—We notice that the feasibility of putting this road In running order is being discussed. It has long l>een a mystery to us why some of tbe enterprising citizens of Pike and Upson did not take nold of the matter. If we are not mistaken, the road is now free from the lawsuit which former ly hung over It; and it could now easily be made a paying Institution. We learn that the Central Railroad, which owns the larger part of the stock, has made a very liberal propostlon looking to the rehabili tation of the Barnesviile road, and we hope our lriends up that way will take prompt and decisive steps in the matter. The Macon and Brunswick Railroad. —General Wm. Mcßae, of North Carolina, and recently Superintendent of the Wil mington ana Manchester Railroad, passed through this city a few days since en route for Brunswick, to accept the posi tion of Superintendent of the Macon and. Brunswick Railroad. General Mcßae, as a railroad man, has risen from the position of a locomotive engineer to that of chief executive officer of a road, add as a military man, from a private to a major general in the Confeder ate States Army, In which position he made for himself a name that will long be remem bered by the members of the army of Vir ginia. The road with which ha Is about to lie connected is fortunate In securing his scrv ices.—/faflowau/t News.
