Il WILLIAM STREET,
New York, March, 1857.
At the request of the President and BoaId of Di-
rectors of the Knickerbocker Life Insurance COM
pany, certify that the mode of computing present
value of the Policies employed by the Secretary of
the Company is scientifically correct, and in ac-
cordance with the prescriptions of the charter L
also certify, thu have compared the list of poll
cies furnished me by the President as on the books
of the Company with valuation tables sufficiently to
test the accuracy of the results given by the Secre
tary, and find the values stated within to be
mericay correct. That is to say, the present val
ne of the future risk of the Office ON all outstanding
policies or the difference between the present value
of future premiums to be paid on them is Sf 967 19
The total value of policies, the holders of which
are entitled TO dividends, is 1922 OF.
And If the surplus is correctly stated at S71 3l2 II,
the difference between this and the present value of
the future risk OF the Company on existing policies
after deducting 10 per cent of it for the relief fund.-
is the proper amount for dividend to-wit S246lo e7
The true principle of dividend is to assign each
policy holder who has insured on the mutual plan
share proportioned to the present value Of his poll
cy, which is the true value of his interest stock
holder of the Company. This share amounts to 10
per cent Of the present value Of the policy.

In haste,
A NauseOlas Pill.

Some of our contemporaries seem to be
surprised at the views recently expressed
by Southern "non-bought-ups," but it
neither surprises or displeaes us in the
least to witness the fairness with which
they seem disposed Of late 10 meet the
question of Northern and Southern inter-
ests. AE extract 30 replete with truth
ard sentiment as the annexed, from the
Richmond South" should be placed on
the fiy-leaf of every Northern mans po-
litical textbook:
80 Mr.. Douglas has shown his cloven
foot to the South at last; never believed
he was whole-footed. All that he has
ever done has been to cajole the South to
choose between evils-to take the best she
can get--to sugar over nauseous pills, and
bribe the Southern members to coax the
South to swallow them. Inever had con-
6dence in him. I haze no confidence in
.any man north of Mason and Diron's.
They cannot be our friends and be honest.
tagonistic. The Northern man who goes
for our interest necessarily goes against
the interest of the North, his country; and
l can have no confidence in a traitor, no
matter how high is his price,"
The oft-repeated warnings of the Re-
publican press to men "north of Mason
and Dixon's line" will, ere long, find an
approaching mass, when they are all
made aware that they have been branded
'cloven-footed traitors" who acted with
the South in securing to them tools for
the furtherance Of their designs. If the
South did not feel assured that Mr.. Bu-
chanan is playing into their hands, would
they not discover secreted "wolfshness'
in him, too? This is too plain to dwell
upon, and we hope all consistent Northern
men will answer this for themselves, and
act accordingly. e o"t

The Panic.

While our journalists and chroniclers
have been puzzling their brain to find a
reliable cause for the cripple of all our
business relations-some attributing it to
poor women dressing beyond their means
some to "lager-beer," and other fast liv-
ing generally, &c.-Gen. Carey, of Phila-
delphia, has matured something more
plausible than anything which has come
under our observation. Be it as it may
about him using "hackneyed and exploded
fallacies" for his foundation, history seems
to bear him out in his arguments, and it
will require rejoinder Of more pith than
the Presidents Message to undermine
his structure. We publish three of his
letters to-day, and viii present his whole
series, if we can procure them, after hav-
ing disposed of the Governors Message.
