Life Insurance.
Those desiring this safest and cheapest protecr
ton for their families, can secure it in our
Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,
in reality, State institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in all
the principal towns in the State. 1t is no lon.
ger a matter of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as well in Wisconsin as in Connec.
tcut or any other Eastern States.
Thus while duty demands that men should
Insure their lives, it also demands that they
should keep their money for investment ut
home. Confident that our success has been
more than equal to that OF the most "unprece.
dented," we would cordially invite all our citi.
zens to call at the office, south west corner Of
Main and Wisconsin streets, and examine for
themselves. S. s. DAGGETr, Pres't.

following action
WHEREAS, 1t is the duty of all citizens,
in time OF Irrational peril, to lay aside all diff
ferences of political opinion and unite in de-

Resolued, That it is not now expedient to

yention for the purpose of nominating a
suitable State Ticket, and that the call be
addressed to all who are in favor of the un-
conditional preservation Of the Union of the
States, of the maintenance of the integrity

The New York Times says :

The blow had been felt--how severely no
one can describe--but when the stupor it
had caused passed Off the eye was clear,
the muscle braced and the purpose strong.
1t could be avenged. Northern men, they
said, are all the better for being beaten once
or twice. We know our foe now, and woe
to him, For each man that has fallen, a
dozen, will spring to fill his place. So gem

that the various recruiting officers in the city

A NARROW ESCAPE. Lieut.. Prime, of
the engineers, narrowly escaped falling into
the enemy's hands after the battle of Bull S
Run. He rode up to party of soldiers to
inouire of the whereabouts of some Of the
officers engaged, from whom to learn the
particulars Of the affair. Where is Col.
Sherman brigade, he asked. Don't know.
What regiment are you2 Fifth North
Carolina. Lieut.. Prime had the presence
of mind to continue the conversation, until,
finding out where to water his horse, he rode
away for the purpose. AS soon as he had
the hill between him and the enemy, he
galloped away out of their reach.

The Louisville Journal has n candid arti
Gle on the battle of the 2lst. 1t says that
there is little doubt that Gen. Patterson
disgraced himself, that the national troops
fought like lions for four hours, aud at last
gave way only on account of the occurrence
of one of those sudden and disastrous panics
to which the bravest troops of all nations
have in all ages been subject.
1t closes as follows:
The defeat of the United States army has
of course caused deep regret in all parts Of
the United States, but not moments de-
spending, nor the slightest relaxation OF
deep and stern determination. On the con
trary, it has created a stronger and more in
exorable spirit of resolve than that which
has hitherto existed, The United States
can furnish greater army than that OF
Xerxcs--a greater army OF braver men and
under a far more skillful leader. The nation
might sustain a score of such defeats as that
at Manassas, and each successive defeat
would but develope in higher degree the
nations mighty energies
