i- iiwiin i.riwiiimniiiu,.ii mi- minimi MM "-i iH' SI 1 1 i -Jur. RtafamAnt of the Affair of the The Natchex Post-Master. We understand that a telegraphic1 dispatch has been reseived in town, announcing the removal on the 31st our excellent 'and worthy Post-Master, Mr. A.M. Griffin, and the appointment In his stead of Mr.

B. Elward, formerly of the Natchez Free Trader. Our community will learn this action with great regret. Mr. Griffin has been a model Post-Master, always efficient, prompt and obliging, of tried integrity, and indefatigable in his fidelity to the public, and in courtesy to the citizens.

We learn that an applieatien was forwarded for his retention, signed by about two-thirds of the voters of the city; but the application was disregarded. Mr. Griffin's successor is well known in our community. He may feel proud of bis official career, if when he retires from the post, he can bear with him the regrets and the good feelings that accompany his predecessor. If bo serves the United States with half the zeal that the paper, published by him, battled for secession two years ago, there will be no occasion to censure him for lack of official vigor.

We take pleasure' iu seeing the press remembered by party leaders when they obtain power, however much we have a right to desperate, in this instance, the y(W-approval of Mr. Kl rant's former sentiments. Leaving these out of consideration, Mr. E. doubtless deserves at the hands of his party, some portion of their party favors.

7 Life Insurance. In another column will be found the statement of the affairs of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York. It showB a most prosperous and healthy condition. This institution has now been in' exist' ence ten At the commencement of its sixth year, its assets over and above all losses, were fire hundred and fifty thousand dollars. A dividend was then declared of 52 per cent, on the amount of premiums paid in, while a reserved fund of nearly $200,000 was held back, for re-insurance.

The dividend thus made was passed to the credit of each policy, and went to swell the amount insured. By the present statement it will be seen, that in the last five j'ears, the receipts have been over two and a half millions of dollars the losses and disbursements but little over one million while the net accumulated fund, on the 1st of February, was over two millions of dollars. About one and a quarter millions have been reserved for re insurance, and the sura of $576,000, ognin divided among policy-holders, -a proportionate share being added to each existing policy, or going to lessen the amount of premiums to be hereafter paid, at the option of holdcis- We had intended to embrace the occasion to say a word or. two on this topic, but the presence in this city of Henry II. 'Hyde, of New York, a gentle" man of high standing and integrity, renders it almost unnecessary, except to call attention to 1m mission.

An article in a late Louisville Journal so fully sets it forth, that we are'' induced to copy it, omitting its local allusions. "Mr. Hyde's mission to the West, it says, is to introduce the subject of life insurance to the attention of the people, and to awaken an interest in a beneficent and noble institution, which has most appropriately been termed the offspring of Christianity aud the handmaid of civilization. He represents, as general agent, one of the great and leading companies of this country, and indeed, we may pay, of the whole world the Mutual Life Insur ance Company of JNew 1 oi of which company we are, ourselves, members and it affords us special pleasure to be able to say, that. Mr.

Hyde has in his possession many strong letters and testimonials as to the high character and undoubted stability of the company from some' of the most eminent divines bankers, and merchants of New York, which incon-, testibly prove the company to be deserving and worthy of the utmost confidence. The officers, at the head of whom is Joseph B. Collins, as president, and trustees of the Mutual Lite Insurance Company of New York, are some of the most respectable and distinguished citizens of the city of New York, and they have determined that their institution, in the management and success of which they take the most active personal interest, shall be a monument erected to the cause of benevolence and philanthropy, which shall endure from generation to generation, for ages and ages. Their very motto security, stability, perpetuity" proud and boastful as it may seem, is an earnest and a guaranty of their object and determination1; And when such men, as those at the head of this company, have pledged their names and reputation to such a motto, they must hare dono so under a full and perfect conviction that sure and certain success must and will attend the enterprise. established and maintained, during a pcriuU ot nine years, a crcr -n4 -reputation for the company, athtme, for careful management, for entire freedom from all selfish aud mercenary motives, for a prompt and liberal adjust ment of claims, and having accumulated for the benefit of its insured members, who are the sole stockholders, a solid fund of one million eight hundred dred thousand dollars, and an annual cash income of half a million of dollars, they now send out to the great West Mr.

Hyde, as their representative in this noble work of philanthropy and usefulness, to spread the blessings and benefits of this great insti- ution among our people." We commend Mr. Hyde -to the kind attention of all our friends, and we know that his success, in awakening an interest in and extending the practice of life insurance, will result in not only a private benefit, but even a public good. Affecting Calamitt. The Peoria (111.) Republi can states that a gentleman who had been for some time paying his addresses to a young lady, asked her hand in marriage, which was refused. He plead for some time after, and declared if she still resisted his suit he would commit suicide.

She informed him such an alternative would not influence her in the least. At this he loaded a gun and standing in front of the house, placed the muzzle in his mouth, and with his toe pulled the trigger. The discharge tore away his left cheek, and horribly mutilated his whole head and face, but did not kill him, though his recov. ery was considered impossible. The lady stood in the door and witnessed the whole of the terrible transaction.

The Peoria swain unquestionably fired at his brains, but for a very good reason, missed them KosscTn. Mazzini and Kossuth appear to be at issue on a question of fact. The proclamation purporting to proceed from Kossuth, in connexion with the late outbreak at Milan, has beenvemphatically repudiated by him, through his friend, Lieut. Mayne Reid. Mazzini states that the proclamation was written by Eossuth and given to him to be used in case of an Italian outbreak, and that it was so used.

Kossuth, driven from his first denial, seeks shelter under the allegation that the document has been garbled. Its authorship was hardly doubtful at first. It had very much of the dictatorial sound and the egotism of its reputed partne. Central America. The New Orleans True Delta appears to have a poor idea of those hybrid.

States, commonly called Centra1. America, and to which Congress at its late session; created a mission, which President Pierce has appointed Mr. John Slidell to see.
