The most Infamous and inhumau swindie
yet perpetratad in I Aakcedon, is that Of their
Life Insurance Societies, which, having secured
The whole Southern country. and induced tens
OF thousands Of meu il III 1derate circum.
stances TO make annual deposits for the pur-
pose Of providing a support for their families
after their death, now refuse 70 paw one cent
unless the annual payment is made at their
own offices in the North, which is of course
Impossible. Prominent among these gangs of
legalized robbers is New Jersey Life Insu-
rance Society, which has many upon its books
III Richmond and throughout the South, and
whose Board of Directors has latay passed
an Ubiquitous resolution closing up all their
agencies with the South, and requiring their
annual debts to bs paid al the Newark IN. j.
Office. A more barefacaj and unbIusi ing
piece of highway robbery was never perpe-
trated. The men composing that Board as
richly deserve the penitentiary as any thief or
villain within its limits. We venture to say
that, IN the whole civilized world, the parallel
OF this scaudalous breach OF trust, in its au-
dacious contempt of every principle of honor,
integrity, and Justice, is not 10 be found.

The painful suspense of our community for
som days as to the fate Of this gallant young
officer, was yesterday terminated by the esd
intelligence of hs death. The worthy leader
of that band Of heroes aud of martyrs, the
Richmond Blues.' has parished from the
wounds he received While bravc'y defending
HE country, aud al, that lie mortal 81 valiant
an 4 immorta, soldier will soon be consigned
TO its native dust. We have never met with
IA more chivalric AMI noble gentleman, and he
was rs modest and unassuuling AZ he was
fearless in spirit and brilliant in intellect. AZ
editor Of the Richmond Enquacr, be CON
ducted that ancient and able journal with "a
vigor and dignify worthy lis palmiest
days. He madc it 1T once "a powerful
and courteous viudicator Of its political
principles, and Increased its time honored
reputation and influence. He was gen
scholar, an elegant linguist and a ehaste and
pungent writer. In all manly qualities he
would have adorned the brightest era that
Nirgiaia has ever seen. The brutal and ma
hgnsnt war which M Infamous despot has
waged against the South has not inundated a
nober sacrifice upon It's bloody altar. In him
his honored father has lost a son whose hlial
devotion must have been more precious TO
him than al! the g!ories OF his great reputa-
ton. and the Commonw ealth child than
whom none was more loyal, heroic, and true.
We may weep thai the light Of such a spirit
has set in orr earthly horizon but we may
rejoice that il rises in another armament, 10
gladden. a brighter and immortal sky.

Tenor Of The ForatEn NINE.

The diiu,ion OF the French Emperor 5
speech which we receive through the \ yrth
ern newspapers, must not be- taken as afford
ing faithful rendering OF the teAt. The
Emperor doubtless dealt in those vague gene
raIities which crowned heads 30 invariably
employ. Ii the Western Powers Were ever
60 determined to inter fere in the American
quarrel, they would CLOAK th@;.inentlon in
words just such as fell from the Emperor at
his meeting with the Chambers. The eager
ness of the Northern journals to lay hold of
the text of the Euperors speech as signify
ing his true intentions, betrays the strength
OF the apprehension which other features Of
the foreign news has engeudered If the
French Emperor speech were really as pa
,sdc as it is declared 10 he, and if the inter
p:etation winch the Northern press desires TO
pat upon it We're warranted by the tenor Of
other foreign advices stocks would imme.
tiiately have jumped up several per cent, and
the language Of tie press would be iubilant
and ecstatic But, strange to say, Ks fell
OF heavily a, the arrival OF the news ind
the Herald procaims, after diseeting its for
eiSn files, the only means OF frustrating inter
ference from France ami England is by an m-
mediate overthrow of the rebellion.
We allude to these things With M purpose
Of inspiring too much confidence among OFF
own people. II would be far better for us TO
assume the worst, TO put bsh!I.d US a.. thought
Of France, nglaui, and tan ottside world
and TO buckle ourselves in caGnea; to the Stern
work Of The war. II we whip the enemy
oat, aud owe our independence TO our own
energies and va!or, we shall be Infinitely
more respected, than If " G lean rgoa foreign
support. We can wbin tie enemy, aud shall
achieve on. Independence bat it will he
more etiectualiy ami eXpediIious'v done, il
we rel y upon ourselves alone 10 dc the WORK.
There Is but ore asnect of the question
IN which interference IS desirable. 50 far rs
independence by ourselves achieved is con.
cerned. The removal viii give ma q full suo-
ply OF arms, AMI put Us on an equality in
this important particular with The invader. If
we had enjoyed the saua facilities with hi,a
IN procuring arms from the beginning. ne
could never have gained advantages over us

The London H.ra'ds Csrrespordsnt,

We are pleased - zee that Mr.. S. T. Day,
the correspondent of the London HerqM and
London Chronicle, who spent some months in
Richmond last summer, and has since returned
TO London, has addressed a letter TO the Lon

uadioting the accounts transferred to that
journal from Yankee papers, alleging that the
prisoners in Richmond were treated with
great cruelty. Mr.. Day says that he was him
self spectator of the facts, and that the
prisoners were treated with great kindness,
