NEW VOLUME.

The present number Of the MINERS EXPRESS
commences the Foxrfeesfh Voixme of the pa
per. It has been too long a candidate for public
patronage, and is too intimately known to the
people Of the State, to require any commcnda-
ton from us. It is now, what it always h1s
been since we had control of it, fearless and
incorporating exponent Of democratic prin-
cip!es of the rights of the masses, of political
and religious tolerance, of Western interests
and of the beauty and harmony of the Repub-
lican, over every other known form of govern
ment 1t stands to-day on fEmer foundation
than il ever stood before and trust is destined
to surviyc-whether we direct its course or not
for many years t. come, and to do valuable
service for the cause Of genuine democracy, for
the interests Of the State and the great nation
in which it occupies humble position.
To those VIII, desire to subscribe for weekly
paper, we would suggest the commencement OF
a new volume, as a favorable time. And to
those who have not paid up for the old volume,
we would suggest this as most excellent time
to balance accounts.
A prosperous and ahappy year to all of our
patrons.

that an important correspondence had taken

FAILURE OF THE PROTECTION
INSURANCE. CO

II was announced last evening, (Sept. ~ that
the Protection lnsuI rance Company of this city
had tailed. The fact did not surprise our citi-
Gems to great extern, as this Company has been
embarrassed for several years. Still the income
OF the Office was large, and in the absence Of an
extraord nary number Of fires, it was hoped H. II
the Company would soon be able to overcome
its ADVERTISEMENTS. But the aggregate losses
during this time have ben very great-far sur
passing any other series Of or years, and the
recent great fires in Milwaukee and other pIac.
es have added more to the liabilities Of the Office
than il could bear. So say part Of the Direc.
tors. Others are under the impression that the
Company could have gone on by calling in the
shareholders notes, and raising some thing more
by borrowing. Th. notes are probably all
pledged to secure endorsements already made,
and the question is how much above this is the
Company indebted! Its evident enough that
they would have been kept up, could they have
shown anything like sight at daylight.
We are satisfied, however, that the Company
has tor wears managed its financial affairs in an
uDsoand manner.

causes which have led to The failure there may
