Arilval Extraordinary. On Tuesday morning last as tbo Steam, ship Florida made Tybee Miss Florida Lyon Rose krans came into this trouble some world. She created qutie a sensation on board, and we are informed that the offi cers of the boat presented her with a beauti ful silver cup at the christening on Friday, in return fortlie compliment pii 1 in hir selec tion of tlio time and place of her advent. New Post Offices in Georgia. The following new Post Offices have been recently established in this state : Medway, Burke county, S. H. Littlefield* Post Master. Walnut Grove, Walton county, J. C.

As this subject is now attracting the atten tion of our citizens, we will endeavor to give a clear and succinct explanation of the prin ciples upon which they are founded, together with the advantages to be derived both by the borrower and the lender. To whom the honor, as originator belongs, wo know not, but it is a happy conception, and one calculated to foster mutual kindness and mutual dependence among men. There are at the present time, numerous societies organized and in successful opera tion in many of the Northern cities, and in the neighboring city of Charleston there are three, which if we ore correctly informed, a re in a nourishing condition. The capital is obtained by each subscriber paying in one dollar per share on some fixed day in every month; by the accumulation of interest on the loans, which is also paid monthly, at the allotted time for paying the subscriptions, and by the premiums given for the money. For example, wo will say the number of of shares is fixed at 1.500. At the first meeting there would be $1,500 to loan. One thousand is offered for loan, for which A. bids ten, B. twenty, and C. twenty-five per cent, premium, the amount is loaned to C. (provided his securities are approved by the Hoard of Directors.) The balance is then put up and loaned in the same manner, and for argument sake we will say at the same rate. If C. ’s securities, together with those of the last purchaser, are approved, the As sociation has $2,000 invested at the rate of six per cent., interest payable monthly. The question here recurs, why must I pay a premium ? Because all having alike the privilege of borrowing, and the right being ‘ ijual, competition is created, by which prin ciple alone the preference can be decided. But at the same time, the bidder does not dually pay the whole amount of the pre mium he bids for the money, for as the rate f premium advances, the length of time, :;il consequently the amount of money, that the borrower has to pay both interest and instalments on stock decreases, for example —if the loans are made at a uniform rate of premium of twenty-five per cent., a stock holder borrowing SI,OOO would receive $750, lie would pay back to the Association in eight years and nine months $1,050, or I>'M more than lie received. If, on the ntrary, the uniform rate of premium is at nifty per cent., ho would receive SGOO, and would pay back in 7 years and 2 months ‘59, or S2GO over the amount ho had re- ceived. Another great advantage in effecting a anon this principle, is tho manner in which tv debt is liquidated ; you get rid of it in mil doses, for as from month to month you y in the dollar a share for your stock, you is liquidate the amount of your obligation, which, when each share becomes of the nine of S2OO is canceled and returned to I you ia payment for your own stock. A person may by paying a small excess of I lit for six or seven years, become the 1 ner in fee simple of a comfortable home ’himself and family. Say, for instance, takes 20 shares in an association, he is I titled to borrow $4,000. He pays twenty- J e per cent, premium, he therefore re ves 8.3,000, with which lie purchases a tfrom the City valued at SI,OOO, on which 5 pays S2OO, he then has $2,800 left for i'fovenierits, which sum would be sufficient I ■ erect a comfortable dwelling which would I ■% rent for S4OO per annum. RF.CAPITULATIOS : r-Wca stock at S2O I *r month, would be $240 OOpernnnum. ■ ‘ rr *'St on S4OOO at 6 |Per cent., 240 00 “ “ I France on Im prove- Dents, 21 00 “ “ , T and county Taxes, 31 50 “ “ $532 50 |"hct rent, 400 00 $132 50 would therefore pay $132.50 a year J “tie ordinary rent. If ho has to pay m for eicht years, he would only pay ■ It a- property that had actua.ly cost Hty), liowI iow is the poor man to he benefitted association ? Every dollar that ho on his stock establishes a credit to lount, and all the profits that accrue e premiums and interests paid by hose facilities of giving security are If the association in three years hirty-tbree per cent., the stock that ;mid S3G per share on would be worth and there would be no risk to run in ng his paper to that amount. If he ed for the purpose of investing in 3state, his own mortgage would bo icient. lender is benefited for his invest >v the large premium that this associ lways, when well managed, pny.— generally last from 6 to 8 years, if the r, he would have to pay in $72 per i for which he would receive at the f 6 years S2OO, or $l2B for an average -st of 3 years. If 8 years, lie would n for which he would realize $lO4 r ‘ average interest of 4 years. J many and so great are the advantages ’ derived by those associations that sus- Ju is often excited in the rnind3 of liberal and educated men. To such, in conclusion, wo would say, examine the subject in all its bearings for yourselves, and if you find any inaccuracies in our statements, our columns aie open to you, and we stand ready to cor rect them. Savannah Clothing and Fuel Society. I his laudable and praise worthy charity lias been quietly and unostentatiously operating in this community for the last thirteen years, great numbers of poor people have been re lieved who were so situated that a more pub lic and extensive charity could not take them up. This Society seems to be a connecting link in the chain of Benevolent Institutions with which Savannah abounds. There are cares of indigence and distress where the sufferer shrinks from a public exposure of their wants, and who, from delicacy of feel ing arising from a remembrance of better days, would, perhaps sink into the grave, un known and unrelieved, rather than to apply to a Charitable Society. It is such cases as these, among others, that the Clothing and Fuel Society seek out and strive to relieve. Their gentle ministration of comforts to the sick and suffering females and their half fam ished children—we trust are registered in that Book where all labors of love are recor ded. And though no blazon of their kind acts may appear in the pages of time, eter nity will doubtless bear record of their works and their motives. But comparatively few people in this com munity ever heard of this Society, and still fewer perhaps are aware of the amount of good that it lias done. It is the leading fea tnre in the character of the truly charitable to hide from the world its benefactions.— Hence perhaps, no more is known or heard of this Society. Still we see no reason why its condition and position may not be stated. It has its wants, ns well as the objects it seeks to relieve, and one of these is a want of mem bers, to assist in so worthy an undertaking. We understand that application is about to be made to the Ladies of this city in further ance to thnt object. We hope—nay, we believe, that the event of such application will be wo: thy of the cause that dictates it— we believe that when its objects are made generally known, the ranks of their Society will be swelled to a number equalizing the desires of the worthy and exemplify Con ductresses.

POOR RICHARD devoted a portion of his life to the public, by elucidating what was alike, for the interest of all, and with truth it could be said, if all his maxims were strictly adhered to, the pre sent condition of many would he improved; but in all his wiitings. he never has said money spent for necessary clothing was ill spent; his advice was —let your dress be marked with neatness, and seasonable. Those desirous of strictly following these wise maxims, can, by calling at the Savannah Clothing Store, have their wishes gratified, not only in pro cureing their clothing at less prices than at any other establishment, hut by having the assurance that they are cut after the most approved style, and well made.
