WEDNESDAY MORNING, OPT. 6, 1869
THE FUTURE.
The Autumn of this year is full of ac
tivity in the way of Commercial Conven
tions, Agricultural Pairs, experimental
trials of farmim? implements, the average
production of “ prize-acres,” etc., etc. The
New York Express congratulates the South
upon these evidences of recuperation, en
terprise and comiug power, thus:
“When the South has completed all its
“ needed railroads to the seaports, and has
“ developed even a moiety of its mineral
“ wealth, it will prove altogether the
“ wealthiest part of the agricultural Union
“ln cotton lands it is without a rival in
“ the world, and in sugar and rice, in the
“ production of cattle and corn, it
“occupy the foremost place on the conti
“ nent. We repeat, then, that for the
“South there are good times ahead, aud
“ we are glad to see so many timely steps
“ taken to exhibit her wealth and eucour
“ age its increase. What has been done is
“in despite of Federal interference, politi
“ cal and military, and, without that inter
ference, her wealth would be vastly
“greater and her prosperity every way
“ improved."
The Louisville Convention.—Our
Mobile contemporary, the lie//inter, thinks
it a misnomer to call the coming Conven
tion at Louisville a Southern Convention.
It thinks that, between sundry objection
able appointments by the foreign governors
oi the Southern States and the Loyal
League representatives from East aud West,
there will be a promiscuous and a high old
time. Under the circumstances, it is pro
posed to dub the gathering the “ Ecumeni
cal Commercial Convention.”
We trust matters will progress more
favorably than the Register imagines. But
there is a vast deal of humbug in all con
vocations of the sort.
Virginia Senators. —The Richmond
Whin having proposed Horace Greeley
as one of the United States Senators from
Virginia, the Norfolk Joximul nominates
Andrew Joiinson as Jds prospective col
league.
If the press of Virginia imagine that the
political condition of their State has be
come no better than a silly jest, let the joke
be carried to a legitimate conclusion by
the election of two negroes.
Retired. —Mr. John Bigelow has re
tired from the editorship of the New York
Times. He was not enough of a red-Indian
and had some respect for the decencies of
journalistic discussion. The Times has par
tially retrieved itself by engaging an Ohio
correspondent whose reputation for literary
forgery is extensive and whose acquaint
ance with the criminal docket is of a per
sonal character.
A Male Stowe. —General Alcorn, who
fought for Dixie and lost a gallaut son in
the Cause, is now running as the extreme
Radical candidate for Governor of Missis
sippi He is very anxious that everybody
should know that he was “ delighted when
the Confederate flag went down.”
This person may have been all-corn
once, but he is nothing but a rotten cob
now.
Muscle vs. Gold. —The notorious John
Morrissey, an acknowledged gambler and
ev-pugi lists lost, $83,000 in the recent panic
at The equally notorious
JAMEs EiSK, gamb
ler, but no prize fighter, won this money.
Morrissey turned highwayman aud forced
Fisk to disgorge or have Ins nose spread
over his face.
Cuban Expeditions. —Americans who
are now in the Cuban army are almost
crazy to get out of the scrape. And yet, a
parcel of adventurers arc endeavoring to
entrap fresh victims, and, as the fools are
not all dead, their attempt is partially a
success.
Progress vs. Principle.— The so-called
practical men of the day want to displace
Don Quixote with Forney. Give us a
century with Quixote, if needs be, rather
than a secoud with Forney.
Boutwkll.—The Herald thinks the only
place left for poor Boutwelt, is the “ hole
in the sky ” he prepared for A. Johnson.
He might possibly serve to bung that up ;
but his usefulness would end with that
transaction.
QuEF.it. —A New York merchant has de
posited SIO,OOO in gold in a Lynchburg,
Va., bank for safe keeping. He cannot
trust the precious metal in Gotham.
Stewart vs. Boutwei.t.,—The great dry
goods merchant, Stewart, thinks Bout
well a great, humbug, and the cause of all
the late financial trouble.
[From the New York World, Septomlier 29th.
Hall's Arctic Expedition.
INTERVIEW WITH THE EXPLORER.
Captain C. F. Hall, the returned Arctic
explorer, last night at a late hour, paid a
visit with a friend to the editorial rooms of
the World. The following of
the conversation which took place at the
time cannot but interest our readers, and
will supplement the report of his explora
tions which Captain Hall has made to Mr.
Ilenry Grinnell, of this city, and which will
soon be ready for publication.
Captain Hall is a good specimen of a
manly, hardy and unpretentious sailor, who
talks in a simple, straightforward manner
about his experience, and makes light of
having spent above five years within the
frozen circle of the Arctic Zoue. He looks
stout and hearty, and apparently none the
worse for his rongh experience. It may
seem strange, after such a long ’ absence,
that he is eager to return to the scene of
his adventures, yet he expresses strong
hopes to start next year on an expedition
in search of the North Pole.
HIS COMPANIONS.
He is accompanied by three Esquimaux,
a husband with his wife and adopted child,
who bear the English names of Joe, Han
nah and Silvia. They understand our lan
guage, having visited this country at the
time Captain Hall was last here, and are
pleasant and intelligent looking persons.
They are low browed, small eyed, thick set,
with straight hair, and chubby, ungraceful
forms, characteristic of their race, and
quite different from our idea of beauty.
They resemble somewhat the lower class
of German and Irish emigrants, and are
also a little like the Chinese in appearance.
They enjoy civilized life very much, and
are quite pleased to make a second visit to
the United States. The climate is rather
unsuited to their constitutions and usual
mode of life, but they soon get accustomed
to it.
HIS JOURNAL.
Captain Hall has a number of curiosities
with him, oue of the mo3t interesting of
which is his journal, a large blank book,
full of notes, hastily written with lead pen
cil at all times and places, and often under
the most unfavorable circumstances. Its
pages contain the record of many weary
days of hardship and suffering, and ac
counts of moving incidents by fb>od and
field, such as are rarely to be met with, in
order to prevent the writings from being
blurred, the pages have been dipped In a
preparation of glue made from fishes, so
that It retains a sticky feeling.
LIKE UP NORTH.
The Captain gave a vivid description of
his experience within the Arctic circle, and
his lile among the Esquimaux. Ihe larges .
body of the laLter he ever saw collected
together was only 135. This was at a little
village near Repulse Bay, and was rather
an unusual circumstance. The solitary na
ture of the life led by the explorers may
therefore be imagined. All alone in the
frozen waste, witli hardly a living thiug to
be met with; living dike moles, in under
ground houses, with dogs aud Esquimaux,
so huddled together that the human could
scracely be distinguished from the brute;
shut o'ut from all intercourse with the outer
world, excepting the scraps of news brought
at long intervals by nassiug whale ships;
such an existence only varied by occasion
al expeditions into the interior on sledges
drawn by dogs, can hardly be called en
durable, let alone pleasant. Yet Captain
Hall did not complain of the life.
now HE LIKED IT.
After his arrival there he found, as did
also his Esquimaux companions who had
visited this country with him, that it was
rather hard at first to return to their old
habits, but in time he got accustomed toil.
“ Did you eat raw meat, Captain ?
“Oh, yes, most of the time.' We some
times had It cooked, but usually liked it
better raw. You’ve uo idea how good it is
in that way. In fact, for that country raw
meat is almost indispensible, though 1
don’t think it woujd hardly do in this
climate.” ~ . ..
“ Is it true that the Esquimaux like it
best when it is tainted ?” *
“ Yes, and the more so the better. When
meat has just been killed, aryl is fresh, it
isn’t near as good, but when it has got to
smell quite bad, and especially after it has
been frozen, then it tastes a great deal bet
ter.”
“Are not the Esquimaux a very dirty
people ?"
“ Well, yes, it must be admitted they are
but then their mode of life has much to
do with this. They have great trouble to
get water enough to drink, except ou the
sea shore, and the means of preserving
cleanliness are limited.”
“How do you find the change to this
country affects you ?”
“Oh ! very much. I’m all upset, and
can’t do anything steadily. The food is so
different, and there is so much noise every
where, and I feel the change in the air
greatly. It is very close and hot here. —
Why, when I first got ou shipboard to come
home, after being so much in the open air,
I could hardly sleep at night, and I find it
hard to do so now.”
“ What do you think caused the loss of
Sir John Franklin’s company ?”
‘‘Treachery, sir; they were deserted by
the natives, and left without fresh pro
visions or means of getting them. But for
this some of them might have been saved.”
“ What is the result of your researches in
relation to Franklin ?”
“ Briefly this: We have settled beyond
a doubt that Franklin actually discovered
the Northwestern Passage. On his pre
vious voyage he had sailed eastward as far
as Cape Hersohell, and now we have
shown that he reached the same point
going westward, and thus completed the
chain of communication To him, there
fore, belongs the honor of having made the
discovery, though Captain McClure has re
ceived the reward offered by the British
Government to the person who should suc
ceed in the effort.”
“ Are you satisfied with this result ?”
“Well, yes; considering how much we
did, it is useless to think of how much more
might have been accomplished. If the
Esquimaux who went with me had not
been so timid, or if I had had a body of
resolute men to back me, I think I might
have gone on. We were lucky enough to
meet with aud capture a herd pf seventy
nine musk oxen and seventeen reindeer,
which would have been sufficient provision
for a mouth, and would have allowed us to
explore much further, but the Esquimaux
were afraid of some hostile tribes of natives
in tiie vicinty, aud absolutely refused to go
on.”
“ Did you have any great obstacles to
contend with?”
“ Yes; during the first three years we
suffered a good deal, but afterwards had
not so much trouble."
“ Were your compasses at all affected by
your proximity to tjie North Pole ?”
“ Yes, so much so that for a 'abort time
they were useless ; at one place the varia
tion was over ninety degrees.”
“ How about the long seasons of dark
ness ?”
“ Those we were fortunate in avoiding,
by Wintering within the line where the
sun’s rays are visible all the time.”
“ Why cannot steam be used for Arctic
exploration ?”
“So it can. There are large supplies of
coal on the West eoast of Greenland, and I
think that with steam the entire Northwest
Passage might be made in a single seasou.”
“Do yon think leading such a solitary
life has any tendency to bring men back to
the savage state ?”
“Weil, I hardly know—though the
thought did strike me once or twice.—
For a man who is fond of society, it is a
terrible existence; but ignorant, men bear
it pretty well.”
what’s the news?
Naturally, after a five years’ absence,
during which he had been almost entirely
cut off from the world, Captain Hall was
eager to learn what had transpired during
the interval. The completion of the Pa
cific Railroad, new Atlantic cable, and
other events of like importance, were utter
ly unknown to him, and were listened to
with as greedy cars as Desdemona gave to
Othello’s love tale. Captain Hall will re
main in the city for a few days, and then
for liis home in Cincinnati.
TRIBUTE OIF RESPECT.
At a meeting of the Augusln Independent Eire
Coranany, First Division, “ Georgia,” held October
4th, 1809, tire following resolutions were passed :

of His wisdom, called from this state of being our
much loved brother fireman, Thomas A. Bonks, to,
we humbly trust, a purer and better sphere; he It
Resolved, That the death of our brother reminds us
that we, too, are mortal, and that we cannot escape
the doom, “It is appointed unlo all men once to
die.
Resolved, That In the removal of our brotlxer from
earthly scenes, we ave bereft of an enthusiastic asso
ciate. and ono who, so long as health and strength
would permit him, was always at his post of duty In
the “Georgia,” whether as officer or private.
Resolved, That the same dispensation of Providence
has deprived this community of one of those
“ noblest of God’s works— an honest man /”
Resolved, That we will not intrude our sorrows and

dercßt tie* of love and kindred, hut will invoke upon
thorn iho blessings of Him who docth all tilings well.

ROUSE THE SYSTEM.
tar IT IS ASADTHINGTO PASSTHROUGH
life only half alive. Yet there are thousands whose
habitual condition is one of languor and debility.
They complain of no Bpteific disease ; they suffer no
positive pain ; but they have no relish for anything
which affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their
tpore robust and enargetic 'ellow beings.
In nine eases opt of ten this state of lassitude and
torpor arises from a morbid stomach. If)digu ß, i on
destroys the energy of K.th mind and body. When
the waste of nature is not supplied by a due and
regular assimilation of the food, every organ is starved,
every function is interrupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest under these
circumslanpes of depression ? The system needs rous
ing and strengthening i not liter. ly for an hour or two,
to sink afterward into a more pitiable condition than
ever, (as it assuredly would do if an ordinary alcbo
holic stimulant were resoited to,) hut radically and
permanently.
How is this desirable object to he accomplished?

The consolidation of the two moat popular Southern Companies is full of advantages to the
policy holders of both Companies. Its expenditures will he less, and witb less relative risk.
The luiure dividends will be. more certain, aud probably greater in amouut, and a better re
served land created.
NO RIGHT of old policy holders will be a fleeted ; they will continue to pay the same rate as
before; to hold the stunt: policies as helore ; to have the same rights, benefits and privileges as
before, and have equal present security with greater future benefit than before. All renewals
of old policies will be in name of new Company, under special authority from the respective
Directors of the old Companies;
A NEW CHARTER was obtained with the rights of policy holders guaranteed, aud we eall
special attention to the following desirable features in said charter:
“ Sec. 2. The business of the Company shall l»e to make insurance on the lives of individuals
in all the branches of Life insurance; to grant, purchase or dispose ol annuities or re-insure
risks.”
“ Sec. 4. The business ol the. Company SHALL he conducted ou the plau of DISTRIBUT
ING TO THE’POLICY HOLDERS THE PROFITS of the. business, as hereinafter provided,
unless by the consent of the assured the policy selected is non-participating.”
“Sec. 15. This Coin pa uy may issue policies on the lives of husbands anti parents, or others,
for the beuetit of wives and families, or other beneficiaries interested in their lives—as ances
tors, descendants, creditors or dependents, and the same shall not be liable for the dents or
contracts of the assured, except as provided iu the policies issued.”
“Sec. lti. The Company may issue policies payable IN GOLD : Provided, premiums are paid
in the same.” .
“Sec. 18. The permanent iuvestmeut of funds shall he in mortgages or liens on UN
ENCUMBERED REAL ESTATE WORTH DOUBLE THE AMOUNT LOANED.’
We would also call attention to the rights Sechmf in policy as part of the contract.
Rights of party to iion-forfeiture in all its policies.
Rights of party to reinstatement—paid up policy, and surrender value where “intervention
of armies” or any other cause cuts the insured off from home office. This feature, omitted in
policies of Northern Companies, cost the Southern people very heavily in the late war, and
should make them seek the only Company that provides against such contingency in luture.
Some Companies now have in their policies , that, parties who “ take up arms against ” certain
named States, “or the United States,” render their policy null and void. This is mak
ing certain what was before uncertain, and is too great a mingling polities, war and life insur
ance. , ,
“The PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON" has a model charter and model policy, plainly stating
rights of parties, aud guarding those rights against sacrifice.
This Company has fully complied with the requirements of the State law, with regard to de
posits with Comptroller General, &c.
It gives dividends at tin end of first year, when all cash is paid, and of second year, wheu
part loan is taken. The all cash plau is unreservedly recommended as iujevery way most satis
factory. • ,
We now confidently appeal to every oue interested in Southern prosperity to look to their
own interests, by sustaining their own institutions, and thereby establishing that self-con
fidence without which there can be no permanent prosperity. Bear in mind that already over
$10,000,000 are annually sent North for Life Insurance , taking so much Horn our strength, aud
thereby giving additional power to onr oppressors. .
We offer a solid reliable Life Insurance Company, thoroughly Southern, in the hands ol men
of the highest integrity—with abundant assets—recent risks —the most secure ol all investments*—
pledged to reiaiu within the State ol Georgia all funds accruing therein —and, indeed, presenting
every advantage that can be desired—and we only ask a lull examination into the superior
merits ofthe“PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY to insure
vour patronage. . . ,

and other Northern Citiep, via Savannah and Charleston to Liverpool and other European
cities, and vice versa. The most important enquiry to be made by every person insuring, is,
“ Are the Companies able to pay, if losses occur ?” Our citizens have insured in some of the
above Companies more than forty years. The assets of all of them are in CABH or its equiva
