OLIVES AND SILK.---Some very
short time ago there was In Georgia,
unnoticed and unknown, a highly in
telligent and eminent gentleman of
MILAN, holding Official relations with
the italian Government. He had
travelled over most of the South on a
tour OF observation, having for its
purpose the selection of a point in the
South best adapted, by soil and cli-
mate, to the silk culture, with view
to the transfer of large body of i'm
migrants from Lombardy. He had
been over almost the entire cotton
region, meeting with favorable con-
ditions at various points, but strong
combination of them i'm Middle
Georgia. Here he found the best con-
ditions of climate for the worm, and
OF soil for the production of the null
berry, upon which it feeds. He did
not find much of the Italian fruit
bearing mulberry, but they are to be
found here and they develop with re-
markable rapidity. Middle Georgia
IS also an olive-producing climate
We know one olive tree in Macon
twenty-five years old, and i'm fine
healthy bearing condition. There
are Others younger, and the olive
could be produced here in any guam
tity. The object of this movement
is two-fold. The one is to find an
outlet toa redundant population
ILompardy, on an area of 6,270 square
miles, mountainous in parts, con-
tanned in 1856 a population Of over
three millions, or 480 to the square
mile. Georgia has about sixteen
people to the square mile. Lombardy
is the most crowded and the most
productive portion of Europe. The
people are said to resemble the Eng
lish in their appearance and habits,
and they are at the head of the col
umn In industry and thrift. This
little State of Italy produces annual
ly silk to the value offifteen millions;
seven millions worth of cheese, 49,
O0O0, 900 gallons wine, 300, 900 bushels
wheat, besides rice, corn, potatoes,
and live stock in great quantities.

A STATISTICAL Journal i'm New
York, i'm an article on the return of
the cotton crop, now lin and going to
market, says that the Southern
States will relaize from the cotton
crop of this year between $500, ,O00,-
900 and $500, 100000. Neither will
this sum have to be made over to
factors, who in former years took the
lions share. 1t will not have to be
expended for doctors bills, incurred
by sick and infirm negroes; or to
maintain a large floating population
of slaves in comparative idleness un-
TIL the planting season again begins.
Huge store bills will not have to be
met rs in other days, when planters
supported large bodies ofslaves. The
whole amount can be appropriated to
the recuperation and regeneration of
the region desolated by the iron heel
of war, and In a very few years at the
farthest the South will be ON her feet
again.

reference to this custom, though this,
we believe, is not its approved inter

LIFE INSURANCE DECIsIoN.-A
case of great interest to life insurers
has recently been decided by the gen.
eral term of the Superior Court. A
life insurance company in Maine in
September, 1865, issued policy for
$4,000 upon the life of a Mr.. War
ner, OF this city, who represented, at
the time of his examination by the
medical officer of the company, that
he had no regular physician. War
ner died in February, 1867, when 1t
became known that he had availed
himself ofthe services of one doctor for
himself and family for several years,
receiving prescriptions from him the
month before his application for life
insurance, and also after the policy
had been issued. Under these cir
cumstances the insurance company
refused to pay the claim of Mr.. War
ner's heirs, and upon the trial of the
case before the late Justice Robertson,
the position of the defendants was
sustained. The matter was then
taken on appeal by the plaintiffs to
the general term of the Superior
Court, and the decision of the court
below was affirmed.

ton of large surplus for transporta-
ton TO market, we again authorize
and Instruct our President to use such
means as he may find necessary,
either In conjuction with other roads,
or with the immigration authorities
of the State, or alone, in procuring
and inviting capital and labor into
this section of the State, and in scat
tering information In reference to oul
resources among the people of Other
sections of our country.
