WASHINGTON, Sept. I.
a telegram from Richmond via Louisville
announces the death of jeff. Davis.
The agent connected with the expedition re-
ports that forces were landed and drawn up in
line on the beach, when it was found that there
were 3l9 men under Col Weber, of the Goth
N. Y. regiment. At this time the wind raised
little and it was found impossible to land
more troops, they proceeded up the beach, cap
turing one brass field piece and one horse
The force then advanced to Fl. Clark, which
had been evacuated, but were compelled to
retire again, owing to shells Of the feet falling
therein, and marched back to the place of land
ing and there bivoucked for the night. Early
next morning they again returned, and the feet
commenced bombarding second fort, called F.
Hatteras, which soon afterwards displayed the
white flag, when the fort was entered by our
troops.
Our officers were conducted 10 the tent of
Commodore Barron, who was in command of
the forts, and the commodore placed in the
hands Of 1t. Wiegcl, the following proposition
which was Immediately carried to Gen. Butler
Mountaineering officer. Samuel Bar.
ron, c. S. N, offers to surrender Fort Hatteras
with all arms and munitions Of war, the officers
to be allowed to go out with side arms and
men without arms to retire. Signed,

Life Insurance.

Life Insurance.
Those desiring this safest amdcheapest 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 matter Of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as well in Wisconsin as in Connec-
ticut 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 at
home. Confident that our success has been
more than equal to that OF the most "unprece-
dcnted," would cordially invite all our citi.
Gems to call at the Office, south west corner Of
Main and Wisconsin streets, and examine for
themselves. 5. $. DAGGETT, Pres't.

hAvs had the same idea of 1t. And yet, in our
country, treason is openly avowed by persons
Of all r.nks and professions, eYm caargymen:
nor do they hesitate publicly to commit overt
acts; and even old and moderate men like
Crittenden, Bell and others, do not hesitate 10
counsel opposition to the Government, If 1t
undertakes to put down treason.
This present treason has already ruined,
financially, hundreds Of thousands Of inno-
cent and worthy men,-it will leave upea Inn
country m enormous tax to be nnz,11d in future
years, and it will probably destroy the lives of
thousands Of lco;yal citizens, In tho name Of

heal 1t with any wishy washy complacency? !?

should b commensurate and co-e1tensiye
