The insurance business in Philadelphia. is

which affect every other line reach Insurance
also. 1t is not probable, says the Press that
Philadelphia Offices and agencies are now
receiving more than one-half the amount of
premiums paid in ordinary seasons. Manu-
featuring, in its various branches, is the line
mostly seeking protection; and as such
risks are considered especially hazardous this
fall, on account of night work, full rates
are exacted and cheerfuly paid.

A DIsAPPoIYTMENT.-The bellies and beaux
Of the upper faubourg Of the city were the
subjects of a sad disappointment last evening.
It was generally understood that the son of
well known Market street hotel-keeper
was to lead to the hymeneal altar the beauti-
ful and accomplished daughter of a denizen
of Madison. street. above Jackson. The cards
of invitation had been lavishingly issued, a
magnificent banquet had been spread at
Beck's saloon, and expectation had assumed
a tip-toe position, when the announcement
came that "the bridegroom tarried." The
startling news was broken to the expectant
bride in the form of a note from her lover,
who assured her that business had suddenly
called him from the city, but that he would
return within ten days and explain to her
the mystery of his sudden taking Off The
disappointment of the invited guests, the
modification of the young lady, and the
loss of the proprietor Of the saloon, may be

W-Some surprise has been expressed at
the retirement of Commodore Stringham and
the appointment of Commodore Du Pont, to
command the great naval expedition about to
sail from New York. The facts, as we under
stand them, are these: Neither Gen. Scott
nor Commodore Stringham were willing to be
responsible for the Hatteras expedition. Gen.
Scott protested that the army should not be
regarded as responsible forit, and Commodore
Stringham wrote to the Secretary of the Navy
just before the expedition sailed, protesting
against its being regarded as a naval expedi-
ton. Both army and navy claimed the glory
when success was achieved.
The instructions to Commodore Stringhan
and Gen. Butler were to attack and capture
the forts of Hatteras Inlet, to then attack the
fort at Ocracoke Inlet, and to close both ii
and Oregon Inlet, and to harrass the coast IN
the vicinity of Beaufort. These Commanders,
instead of following their instructions, broke
up the expedition as soon as the forts at
Hatteras Inlet fellinto their hands and started
one for Washington and the other for New
York, to glorify themselves. One of them
has very properly been sent on a recruiting
expedition into New England and the other
has been superseded in his command.

KENTUCKY AND THE Waffle following
paragraph, which we clip from the Louisville
Journal indicates that the Union men of thai
State are much more willing to vote for the
Union than they are to fight for it. Il
says:
When regiment of one thousand men Of
Indiana came across the river, the other day
and marched through our streets, probably
twenty thousand Kentnckians shouted in
honor of them. Wouldn't very large por.
ton of those Kentuckians have been better
employed in going with them than in raising
enthusiastic hurrahs?

D0Persons who have thoughtfully regarded
''the situation" cannot, in many instances,
fail to come to the conclusion that the poll
cy of our troops should be to concentrate and
hunt the enemy in force. The days Of scat
tering troops far and wide to protect the I'm
ion men Of unimportant localities from their
neighbors is about over. Scattering troops
broadcast over country almost invariably
makes the war defensive on the part of those
who do it. Concentrate and fight is the
word. Good Union men are not sheep for
secession wolves to tear.
