Premium is a "pre-order". Pre-ordering the game means that when the new game modes are released you'll be able to play them. The game is currently in pre-release alpha so anyone can play for free, but if you pay you can have a custom skin. When the game moves into beta paid users will be able to play a new game mode called "survival". There are many more gamemodes planned besides sandbox.
When the final game is released you'll still be able to play the game a bit, there'll be a free demo but the final game will be for paid players only.
In survival you'll have to survive for as long as possible against enemies, you'll have things like axes and you'll earn gold and stuff so you can build. There is also a mode called zombie siege, during the day you'll build a fort or whatever, then during the night you'll be invaded by zombies and you have to protect yourself.
Paying also supports Notch, the only developer :D
