pfiayncville (Ala.) Examiner relates : . 1
"Mr. B. W. Yonng, of Manack, recently
to lliwassc College, Tenu., iu
charge of twelve students. He met a
friend at Newnau, and the friend tele
graphed to Atlanta that Brigham Young
and family would reach there that evening.
Mr. Y. and the Imys humored the thing.
When they arrived there quite a crowd had
collected at the depot to catch a glimpse
of tlie muchly-married saint. Tlie ladies
particularly had assembled. They came
forward, ami several pressed our friend to
go round and take tea. It is thus that the
ladies evince their appreciation of the
brave men who dare to endure the married
state. No single man could have resisted
such flattering testimonials of the appre
ciation of the fair sex. Mr. Y. allowed the
gentle ones to enjoy the satisfaction ol
having seen tlie most married man of
America."
Gen. Toombs. —We are pleased to an
nuunce the rapid convalescence of General
Robert Toombs from his recent severe ill
ness. On Sunday night lie was so very
low as to cause serious anxiety to his
friends Dr. Steiner, of Augusta, was tele
graphed for, but the disease was so rapid
in its working that the crisis was over
aud the General already on the mend before
the Doctor arrived on Monday. Since
that time he has been steadily improving,
and we sincerely congratulate his many
friends upon the happy prospect of his re
covery.— Washington Gazette.
Captain Ham. Accused of Moiid rr. —
Captain Hall, the well known Arctic ex
plorer, was yesterday charged by one Wal
ter Bayne, l»cforc Recorder Martindale, of
Jersey City, with the murder of a brother
in-law named Patrick Coleman, on his re
turn voyage a couple of years ago. Bayne
alleged that Coleman had been one of a
whaling party that arrived at Repulse Bay
in that then and there Coleman was,
with tht e of his companions, induced to
enroll themselves among the tneu engaged
upon board of Captain Hall’s vessel ■ that
a year subsequently Coleman failed to com
ply with a command with enough of
promptitude to please the Captain, who in
consequence drew his pistol upon Coleman
and. discharging it, inflicted a wound from
which the injured man died during the
course of the succeeding fortnight. Capt.
Hall’s apology for the act is that Coleman
stood at tiie head of a mutinous four of the
crew. Bayne denies this, alleging that
Coleman, as far as he can learn, had been
guilty of no act of insubordination. On
this show of the facts, Bayne asked the Re
corder to issue a warrant for the Captain’s
arrest. Recorder Martindale had no juris
diction over tiie case, and sent the com
plainant la-fore a court In tills city having
marine jurisdiction. —New York World.

—We are iuforined that the Darien, a line
propeller, belonging to the Charleston and

may be expected to steam up to our wharves

then, and will be followed by other staunch
shi|« adapted to our trade. To show the
rapidity with which mercantile combina
tions are made in this era of telegraphs and
steam, we may mention that cotton to ar
rive by the Darien lias already been sold in
Liverpool.— Charleston News.

AUGUSTA, (Ga,) SUNDAY MORNING!*IB69
SPECIAL NOTICES.
BOUSE THE SYSTEM.
IT IS A SAD TRING TO PA S3 THROUGH
life only half alive. Yet there are thousands whose
habitual condition is one of languor oad debility.
They complain of no specific disease ; they suffer no
positive pain; but they have no relish for anything
which affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their
more robust and enargetic fellow beings.
In nine cases out of ten this state of lassitude and
torpor arises from a morbid stomach. Indigestion
destroys tlie energy of both 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
circumstances of depression 1 The system needs rous
ing and strengthening; not merely for an hour or two,
to sink afterward into a more pitiable condition than
ever, (as it assuredly would do if au ordiuary alcho
boiic stimulant were resoited to,) but radically and
permanently.
How is this desirable object to be accomplished?
The answer to this question, founded on the unvary
ing experiences of a quarter of a century, is e sily
given : Infuse new vigor into the digestive >'rg oig by
a coarse of UOSTETTKK’S STOMACH BITTERS.
Do not waste time in administering temporary reme
dies, but toalce the system up by recuperating the.,
fountain-head of physical strength and energy, the
great, organ upon which all the other organs depend
lor their nurture and support.
By the time that a dozen doses of the great vege
table tonic and inv'gorant have, been taken, ihe feeble
irame of the dyspeptic will la-gin to feel its benign in
fluence. Appetite will be crated, and with anpetite
’.he capacity to digest what it craves. Persevere until
the cure is complete—until he.dthiul blood, fit to be
tlie material of flesh and muscle, houe and nerve, and
brain, flows through the channels of circulation, in
stead of the watery pabulum with which they have
heretofore been imperfectly nourished.

The consolidation of the two raoflt popular Southern Companies is full of advantages to the
policy holders of both Companies. Its expenditures will be less, and with less relative risk.
The future dividends will be more certain, and probably greater in amount, and a better re
served fund created.
NO RIGHT of old policy holders will be affected; they will continue to pay the same rate as
before; to hold the same policies as belorc; 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, and we call
special attention to the following desirable features in said charter:
Tr pnu. —*>* i 1 ~ f "» Pom nsnrahall-he to make insurance on the lives of individuals
m all the branches of Life Insurance; to grant, purchase or dispose oi uttuouies or re-insuru
risks.”
“Sec. 4. The business of the Company 311 ALL be conducted on the plan 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 Company may issue policies on the lives of husbands ana parents, or others,
for the benefit 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 deots or
contracts of the assured, except as provided in the policies issued.”
“ Sec. 16. The Company may issue policies payable IN GOLD: Provided, premiums are paid
in the same.”
“Sec. 18. The permanent investment of funds shall be in mortgages or liens on UN
ENCUMBERED REAL ESTATE WORTH DOUBLE THE AMOUNT LOANED."
We would also-call attention to the rights secured in policy as part of the contract.
Rights of party to non-forfoiture 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 lnture.
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 politics, war and life insur
ance.
“The PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON” has a model charter and model policy, plainly stating
rights of parties, and 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 thi end of first year, when all cash is paid, and of second year, when
part loan is taken. The all cash plan is unreservedly recommended as injevery way most satis
factory.
We now confidently appeal to every one 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 Irom our strength, and
thereby giving additional power to our oppressors.
We offer a solid reliable Life Insurance Company, thoroughly Southern, In tho hands of men
of the highest integrity—with abundant assets—recent risks—the most secure of all investments—
pledged to retain within the State of Georgia all funds accruing therein—and, indeed, presenting
every advantage that can be desired—and we only ask a full examination into the superior
merits of the “ PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ” to insure
your patronage.
