CONTINENTAL LIFE Insurance COMPANY.
We have just been shown the annual state
ment Of the business transactions of this
company for the year 1868 which shows its
financial soundness and almost unprecedent-
ed success and good fortune. The total
amount of policies being over sixteen mil
lions Of dollars issued for the year ending
January 80, 1869. paying into the treasury Of
the company nearly one and half million of
dollars, while the total amount of lossesl is
less than seventy thousand dollars. The
company has recently declared dividend Of
forty per cent. to policy holders. Judging
from their returns Of mortality we conclude
this company is cautious in taking risks
the returns showing loss on only four deaths
on this coast for the past year among which
is the name of William Willford who died
recently on Clear Creek of small pox, and
who held policy in this company for FIVE
dollars. We here should mention
that Mr.. Geo. w. Chedic is local agent for
this company.

ricultural Fair, on a large scale, is to be held
in Macon, Ga, in November next. Various
great men are to be invited, including the
President and the principal generals of the
"late contcnding armies" OF course, this
leads, in the circular of invitation, to much
poetic talk about spears and swords, pruning
hooks and plOw-shares. But the solid fact is
better than the sentiment. Georgia needs
nothing but rational agriculture, and a practi-

worthy of his hire, to become one of the great

We assume that every just system Of prison
discipline must work with nature instead of
against it. If we would improve men, whether
in prison or out of il, we must,n0 ignore,
much less crush, those great principles which the
Creator has impressed upon our mental and
moral constitution. The principle of socabiity,
Tor instance, is one of the strongest instincts
of the soul and mightest forces of human
progress Can we safely thrust it aside in our
effort to reclaim and reform the fallenR Should
we not rather cherish, while at the same time
we direct and regulate, those Unborn cravings
for amelioratiOn which almost all men feel in
some degree, anu which are often the strong
est in those who are otherwise the most de-
based7 Under the guidance Of enlightened
reason and right principle, the prisoner should
be led on to order, obedience, and exertion,
since experience shows that, under mere con-
troll and coercion, he not unfrequently
either explodes in violence or is dragged
down till hope is gone and man
hood utterly extinguished. Do any of our
prisons fulfill this end The separate system
is the most perfect form of coercion that has
ever been devised. Men are utterly helpless
in its grasp. OF necessity, they make excellent
prisoners; and both those who manage and
those who view them in this position, if they
do not look beneath the surface, are enamored
with the apparent success of the system. But
surely the most perfect form of bondage is a
Door preparation for liberty; nor is a
man likely to be best fitted for the
struggles and difficulties of actual life
by long sequestration from its arrange
ments and duties. What can be the real worth
of that virtue which rests only on basis of
physical disability to do wrongR The silent
system really is but little different, resting, like
the other theory, upon tho principle of isola-
ton with labor, only in the one case the isola-
ton is effected by an absolute bodily separa-
ton, and the labor is performed in tho cell !;
in the other, the labor is done in common
workshops, and the isolation is of moral
kind. being effected by the enforcement of an
absolute silence. While there is a sort OF ma
terial society, there is mental solitude. The
principle of sociability has no moro play, at
least as far as the theory goes, under the
one system than under the other.
