The Constitutionalist will be mailed to clubs of five or more, from the first day of July to the fifteenth of November next, at the following low rates : Daily $2 50 per copy. Tri-Weekly 1 75 “ Weekly 75 “ “ The canvass will undoubtedly be the fiercest aiul the results the most important of any that have taken place in this coun try', for the real issue is a Constitutional Form of Government or a Despotism, and every man should keep fully conversant with the great struggle. Now is the time to form Clubs , as our rates are put clown so low that no pecuniary profit can be realized. Those who want a sound and reliable Democratic journal for the campaign would do well to subscribe immediately to the Constitutionat.ist. The Empire State Insurance Company. A meeting of the etocklioblersof thiscom pnny was held Tuesday, the 30tb of June, at their ofHco, No. 223 Broad street. Mr. ('. F. MeCny, the President of the company, was called to the chair, and 11. 11. I lift man, Esq., was appointed Secretary. The report of the President having been read, the meeting pro ceeded to the election ol Directors for the ensuing year, when tint following having received one thousand and forty-eight votes, were unanimously elected : .Messrs. E. P. Clayton, 11. If. Hickman, S. D. Union, C. K. MeCay, Edward Thomas, A. Austell and J. J. Kicliards. After a resolution was adopted seen ring seven per cent, dividend on the cash payments of the stockholders, before any dividend is made on the bills receivable of the conjpany, the meet ing adjourned to the (list Tuesday in July, 18(59. We extract from the report of the President some facts in (lie history and progress of this Georgia Insurance Company which will be of general interest: “ The business of our company for the fast twelve mouths, ending on the first of June, has been prosperous and successful. Since t lie close of the war we have not. only paid all losses and expenses of every kind, but after reserving till the unearned premiums on our unexpired risks and an amount of cash suftl cieol to meet all the claims agaiust us for losses not yet paid, the net receipts from our in surance business alone have exceeded all the cash dividends we have made to our stockhold ers. These dividends have been regnlar—first six per cent.., then three aud a half at the end of each half year ; and they have been paid entirely out, of the insurance earnings. “ We have now, therefore, on hand not only all ti)« assets we saved from the wreck of the war, aud all the cash subscriptions of new stockholders, and all the collections for asses ments, but all the interest which these have earned up to the present time. “ The present condition of the company is shown by the table, below, which exhibits a handsome surplus from the last 6ix months’ business: Assets. Bonds ? S? Bills Receivable 146,086 95 Due of Agents 12.) 9a Cash on Hand 2,814-6 Total 210,512 21 Liabilities.

Broom. —We have been shown anew brootO, which we predict will become a great favorite with the ladies. It Is so constructed that the straw, or broom corn, can be removed front time to time, and while it is much neater, it is the most economical broom for the house keeper. Mr. Gideon Dowse, of Burke county, Is the agent for the sale of this broom, and will •canvass the city tor that purpose. Confederate Dead. —Our young friend, Mr. E. H. Prontaut, who has just returned from New York, informs us that while in that city he formed the acquaintance of Dr. G. Grant, surgeon of the United States Volunteers and Medical Director of French’s Division, who gave him the following list of Confederate prisoners, wounded at Sharpsburg, who died and were buried near Dr. Smith’s farm “on a slope of the hill near the house: Pennington, Ga.; died Oct. 3d. Corporal Elij. 11. Hottcrson ; amp. left leg 23d Sept. ; died 27th September, 1862. N. B. Parker ; amp. right foot; died Septem ber 27th. Lieut. Noble; amp. thigh ; died September 21st, 1862. Capt. Howard, 2d North Carolina ; wounded in the shoulder, thieh and arm ; died October 3d, 1862. J. R. Cody, 48lh Ga.; knee; died October 3d, 1862 J. T. Webb, sth Fla ; back aud hip ; died Oe loher 2d, 1862. J. T. Wilson, 2d Fla.; side and Lin; died Oc tober 3d, 1862. G. Williams, 2d S. C.; back ; died October 3d, 1862. J. Jarvis. sth Fla.; breast and foot; died Oc tober Ist, 1862. Lieut. Noble ; foot amputated ; died Septem ber 20, 1862. Two Confederates —unknown—died Septem ber 19, 1863, after amputation. Mr. J. F. Alexander, of the 16th Mississippi regiment, a Confederate prisoner, acted as the surgeon’s clerk, and of him additional particu lars may be obtained. Hard on Betts.— The father of George Bells, one of (he Columbus prisoners, now turned State’s evidence, cone down from At lanta yesterday, says the Macon Teler/raph of Thursday, and confirms the rumor we men tioned in Sunday’s paper, in tegard to Betts.— The father of Geortje tays that his son has been suborned, and that be will swear falsely on the trial now progressing in Atlanta. lie says, further that his wile and two ot George’s sis ters will swear positively that George was at home on the night of the assassination and that he did not leave there, and it is impossible that he knows anything of the murder as an eye witness. The lather further states that his sou is a worthless vagabond, whom he would not, be lieve on oath, an‘d that all his acquaintances en tertain the same opinion of him. He is satisfied that Geortre will be convicted of perjury, in the matter, and that his own testimony will do it. As will be seen by the testimony of Sergeant Marshall, his statements are wholly unreliable, as Mr. Stephens made him tell two or three dif ferent tales about the difficulty he had with Ashburu, and all the time admits that he Was so drunk he did not know what passed between them. And these are the witnesses that are to con vict the prisoners! The Incorruptibility op tub Radicals.— From a paragraph in an issue of the Radical organ in this city, says the New Orleans Bee, one would suppose that the members ol that party were entirely incorruptible, if be did not know the men. But we happen to know that they are very far Irom being above temptation. If they have not a hankering after office, and that which makes office desirable, it would be difficult to point out who has. We have heard, and are inclined to believe, that, those candidates for the Senatorial positions who have the longest purse will carry the day. Weadmire the frank confession of the journal referred to when it says : “The Republican party is now poor, and its members are poor, but. with the patronage of this State and of Hut Untied States in Louisiana, all tins will soon change, and it will become rich and powerful.” Confidence Game.— I The Wilmington Jour nal says: “J. W. Shier, ex convict No. 36, from the County Workhouse, recently imposed upon the proprietress of the Rock Spring Ho tel, by passing himself off as Dr. Shier, an emi nent physician of Charleston, llis claim to the title of M. D. rests entirely upon the fact that lie was employed as chief nnrse in the County Workhouse. Tic settled his board Dill in a very unique manner, by giving a reference to one of our city merchants, who ol course was only consulted after the gentleman doctor had fled these parts. He is making for Angus la, Ga. Let the press tie on the lookout for the gentleman.” The Exhibition Wednesday NronT.—The repetition ol the scenic and musical festival on Wednesday night, at Concert Hall, was a de cided success. The changes in the programme were the introduction of a piano solo by tlie accomplished Mrs. M., of Burke county, and the tableau, “ Rebecca at the Well,” the promi nent characters being sustained l>y Mrs. M. and Mr. I*. We congratulate the energetic la dies upon the success attending their indefati gable efforts in behalf of their church. Superior Court.— The appeal and equity dockets were called yesterday, but. no eise was tried. It was agreed by counsel to refer seve ral points of law in the complicated case of the Moore children vi. Moore to Win. Hope Hull. Esq. The court will meet this morning at 9 o’clock. . am ■ »♦- Important Order.

The Ways and Means Committee recom mend that the bill taxing interest on bonds, which they report in obedience to the House orders, do not piss.* The object for convening Congress the third Monday in November, is to have a recess in stead of an adjournment, to prevent removals by the President.

New Orleans, June 2 The military is stiil under arms to-day, though much less excitement apparent.
