Mutual Plan.
AllIts Benefits,

Upon taking out a policy a premium note is deposited, part of which only is paid in Cash, and the balance held for assessment in case of loss, beyond the cash payments. But it is believed no assessment will ever be called for. There can be no responsibility beyond the amount of the note. At the end of the term the note with the balance unpaid is giv en up to the maker. In case of loss it is provided that the same shall be adjusted by two disin- terested persons mutually chos en by insured and insurer. If they fail to agree, they shall choose a third party, and their decision shall be final, thus avoiding expensive and tedious litigation.
 The rates have been fixed as low as possible, thus bringing the benefits within the reach of all.
 Information and Circulars may be obtained by addressing CHARLES H. BRIGGS,
 Secretary, Canaan, Conn.

THE COUNTRY BETWEEN MEMPHIS
AND VICKSBURG.
A Land Overlooking with Resources

RIyERToN, BOLIVAR COUNTY, MISS, [
September 18th. 1880.
Tbis Is n Post Office landing on the
Mississippi River. There are sixty
five such Post Offices between Mem
nhis and Vicksburg, each receiving n
mail. once each way, at least every
two days-some every day. Besides
these Post Offices there are 2G2 steam
boat Iandings-Qn all 320 between
Memphis and Vicksburg, distance
of 400 miles. What an immense trade
is here carried on by this river navi-
CATION. 1t is fabulous now, ana ! be-
lieve that in ten years ii Will be
doubled.
Both white and colored people are
pouring into these river counties from
the hills. Their productive increase
is rapidly expanding. One and two
bales per acre of cotton is gathered
every year, and never less than 90
bushels of corn with reasonable culti-
walton. Land in this county can be
bought from 81 so to $40 per acre in
the woods, but for more when I'M
proved. Rents are from sc to $40 per
acre per year. And there is much I'M
cleared land now that was never UNI
der water, at least not lately.
DROP IN THE BUCKET,
is the little exodus of freedmen in this
region. Thousands and thousands OF
these people are all through these
river counties doing well and perfectly
contented; many of them owning land,
and making money.
The cotton is now suffering seriously
from the excessive rains, and farmers
are beginning tobe rather respondent.
The health of the people in this
county just now is better than usual
at this season. Indeed those who
have been here for many years con-
tend that il is rs healthy here rs in
the hills, and even more so than on
the first tier of hills bordering ON the
Mississippi Valley. And | confess
that my observation does not enable
me to contradict these assertions; at
least when persons observe the ordi-
nary rules of health and industry, and
where they use sistern or pure well
water.
What country this bottom will be
if the Government will only protect
all if it from overflow: 1t will sup
port more inhabitants and give more
wealth than any other spot in the
world. Much of it is already safe from
innundation-al of it should be, and
/ be ieve will be some day.

State auditor.

We must have an Auditor of Pub
lie Accounts, and we want II man for
the position of known integrity, "tried
and true" Now, comes the all i'm
portant question, who shall we place
in that important position, that will
make good Auditor; and who will
take an interest in the public welfare.
--Lauderdale Bee.
We are glad our contemporary is
asking us something easy" We
have in our minds eye just exactly the
style of man he is looking for: 1T is
one Capt. S. Gwin, and he is now serv-
ing US all in official capacity at Jack
son, and making as good an Auditor
as any State was ever blessed with.
In his transactions with the county
officers he is patient, careful of the
States interests, and never displays
any of the characteristics of the mar
tinet. In his dealings with tax pay
ers and Others having business with
him, he is always polite, prompt and
obliging; and as regards the press, he
is ever ready to supply any informa-
called for, regardless of the amount of
personal labor involved. In addition
to this, he is a gallant, generous,
whole soulcd gentleman. If you are
looking around with your lantern,
step over and interview Gwin; if he
wont suit you, you are hard to please.

A VOICE FROM A coNNorsEuR

The concert and drama given by
some of our Jackson amateurs on Fri
day the 3D. inst, has called out an
enthusiastic letter from one of our
Jackson connoisseurs who has seen u
good deal of the world, read deeply,
and witnessed the acting of all the
dramatic stars of the age, and heard
the singing of most of the leading
prima donnas of our time. His COM
mendation is valuable, because 1t is
based on knowledge and observation.
We make few extracts as follows:
To the Editor Of the Comot
The concert and play ut the Opera
House on the evening of the Sd inst,
was perhaps the best amateur perform
ance with which we have been flvor-
ed. All stars, musical and dramatic,
walked with diflidence before the foot
lights of obscure places, these first
efforts advising them of their native
gift and probable fitness to follow this
avocation and seek for the brilliant
laurel leaf of histrionic fame; and in
this connection | would say that as
novices | never heard better music,
both vocal and Instrumental, and in
the matter of the play, hlvenot seen
an instance of the several parts being
better understood, nor the respective
characters so admirably sustained.
Mrs. Cages rendition of Verdi's solo,
ooh, Italy," was worthy of the most
splendid musical talent Could Ger
man or an Italian have been present,
accustomed to hearing voices that had
been subjected to the finest cultivation
of the vocal art, he would have yield
ed to raptures of generous enthusiasm.
Nature and art vie with each other in
the eloquent beauty of her Voice-in
its lovely and variable intoning-so
of light, and life and joy.
Having heard her sing, one can believe
in the sincerity of Napoleon, when he
said that the voice of Josephine was
sweeter to him than the first applauses
of the French. x
But the genial, indis-
pensible Skelly seems to he man after
everybody's heart. He sings whether
the idea be comic or serious, with the |
soul of those who live in tro ical
climes, and worship the spirit of song,
unapproached. and unapproachable-
initiating none, and inimitable by any;
Mr. Editor, hoping l have not thus
far trespassed too much upon your
columns, / will conclude with brief
allusion to "rve Written to Brown"
This farce was good selection, some
particular excellence characteriZing it, +
md it was presented with due appre-
,iation of the authors intent and de-
sign. "
The impersonation of the cXqui-
,itely humorous character of Pere-
CRIME DOTS, by Mr.. Clarence Millett,
S totally secure from objections--his
accurate observations of life, which
he makes so naturally, his quick de-
jection of the motives of those around
him, of which he apprises them in
such telling style, has smack of the
manner of Beaucicault, who held
without tagging, the Washington
boards for ninety nights. In Mr.. Mil
ett's conception of this entire play,
md his especial part, he seems to
accomplish the direct wishes of the
luthor, touching no vulgar extreme.

"There has been nothing so con-

agemept of the campaign" says the
| Washington Post, ethan some of its
political assessments. Among those
who have received the campaign COM
mittee's bulldozing circular, calling in
peremptory manner for part OF
their monthly pay, are a number OF
the attendants of st. Elizabeth's Asy-
lum for the Insane. These servants
of that institution are in receipt of the
princely income of SIS u month, or
sixty cents II day! From this poor
pittance they are required to hand
over to the Radical committe the same
proportion that is demanded of those
who receive the largest salaries. Was
anything ever more despicable than
this? An Administration that stands
pledged to resist and prevent political
assessments of amy kind, that has
solemnly promised every place-holder
to protect him from assaults on his
pocket, is now lending its influence
to force from poor men, who perform
what is termed mental service for six
ty cents IA day, to pass Il portion of
that paltry sum into the hands of a
campaign committee to pay for the
circulation of campaign lies ~
