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

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:

This very satisfactory exhibit of the opera
tions of the company up to the Ist ot June, is
succeeded by a postscript informing the stock
holders of some considerable losses by two te
eent fires at Charleston ; but these “ will be
met by the earnings of the past month, bj' the
ireeeipts for iutcrest on the Ist of July, and by
the surplus heretofore made,” so that “suffi
cient earnings will still remain to declare the
usual dividend on the Ist Monday of July.”
The proceedings of the stockholders were
perfectly harmonious, and the report of the
business of the compuuy quite gratifying.
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

Capt. Howard, 2d North Carolina ; wounded

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.
