NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
AT MONTPELIER.


We have examined the report Of the
above we'll managed institution. and refer
our readers to some of the reasons given
for life assurance, viz: .............
Ii is a domestic duty because it is
the only certain means by which persons
not possessed of accumulated capital can
secure their families against future want.
1t is a. political duty. since the gen.
eral adoption in practice would be good
for the common veal by the destruction
of that great political evil-paupersm.
To prove this, we need not only refer to
the fact that the great mass of persons
who apply for relief to charitable institu-
tons are, LIST, widows and young child
rem; and I'd, aged persons. If the hus-
bands and fathers of the former had as.
sured their lives, no such utter destltu-
ton and degradation would probably have
befalleu their offspring; and a small peri
udical contribution from the latter during
their youth would have provided comfort
for their age, ... ........ .....
I" 1t is a moral duty, because it is an
obligation on every person to expose to as
few risks as possible the future interests
of those with whom he has linked him.
self. The highest morale is that which
regards in the highest degree the future
happiness of others.
at is religious duty, because that we
arc taught that He that provideth not
for his own, and especially for those of
his own household, hath denied the faith,
and is worse than an infdcl.
ut is social duty, because no person
has right to expect society to support or
provide for those for whom he himself
ought to, and could by little self deni-
al, have made certain provision. Soci-
ETY. is justified 10 casting rcproach upon
the memory of those whose selfshness
leaves their widows VI children tax upon
charity or legal support. D. t..,..s..
!" 1t is a duty universally practicable.
inasmuch as the periodical payments are
exceedingly small, compared with the
amount assured. There is no one who
does not spend something on bad habits
or useless luxuries. and who could not
spare some tri6ing contribution to pro-
vide against the calamitous effects of his
death upon his dependents, or of the in
fruitics of Old age upon himself"
Life assurance commends itself to every
prudent man, and is becoming as univer-
sal as that of Fire Insurance.
Some Of our merchants, and other care.
full business men. in this country have
adopted the prudent course, and have
their lives insured for the benefit If their

COPPER IN WOLCOTT.
A auANcE FOR EXTENSIVE MINING.

A aIIANCE FOR EXTENSIVE MINING.
A. Last Winter We stated that T. J. New
land, of Wolcott had on his farm very
fne vein of iron ore. and also stated that
appearances also indicated the presence of
a large body Of copper ore. Mr.. New
land not being familiar with the appear
auce of that ore, could not decide wheth-
er it was copper, or merely mixture of
iron and sulphur; but since then he has
investigated the matter to such an extent
that he is satisfied that he has on his farm
the largest body of copper ore. in quartz
and slate, to be found in New England,
and thinks the surface ore compares ia.
vorably with that of the richest mines.
MIR. Newland is desirious of having these
facts appear before the public, that those
interested in such matters may come
and investigate the NATTER and IN all
probability it will not be long before it
will be tested, and if as valuable as the
discovery promises now, it cannot be long
before some disposition will be made of
the chance; and lucky will be the man
who has the good fortune to secure the
control of this great store of long-hidden
wealth. IL

not at least threaten Lees rear continual

not send a cavalry force down as far as

While Hooker is thus menacing and
operating against Lees rear-Heintzel-
man holding the capitol--and Couch
watching the Pennsylvania line-while
the rebel army has been nearly all with
drawn from Richmond and from the Vir-
ginia and North Carolina scaboard why
do not our forces on the james Peninsula
and the Blackwater, which arc believed to
be about forty thousand strong, more or
less make grand assault on the rebel
capitol? Why do not some of the officers
with large commands, down there do some
thing? Why do not they demonstrate
vigorously, while the golden moment lasts
and the grand rebel army is over hun
dred miles away? If they cannot take
Richmond, can they not take Petersburgh
which would serve the purpose nearly as
we'll? If they are incapable of this.
could they not seize Weldon, which would
do better? There must be limit to the
rebel strength in Virginia; and if Lee
has hundred thousand men in the She.
nandoah Valley or whereabouts, their for
ces cannot be very gigantic at other points
Certain it is that if forty thousand of
our troops, or half that number, were at
Weldon Lee would not be long in leaving
the mountains; and if he attempted to
leave, then would be Hooker's chance to
Hank him, divide his columns, and defeat
them in detail. .s..
1t is believed that we have, or will
have directly, full quarter million men
on the Potomac Within the last four
days this State alone has sent ten thous-
and volunteers toward Washington, and
other states are fastening forward their
quotas under the new call. From great
army, suddenly reinforced so enormously,
folks have a right to expect great and
daring deeds. Certain it is that the reb-
el army has not been reinforced to any
thing like this extent, nor can it be.

against Lee and Richmond are possible.

may suddenly push round to some point
in our rear where we might not be able to
operate with all the advantages on our
side which we now possess.
The freside strategists are doubtless
badly informed in the facts of the case
but their energy and spirit is at least COM
mendable, and their skill might be of
service in the field, if they would only

FROM THE 18TH REGIMENT.


Mr. EDITOR --Having few moments
leisure, 4 win give you short sketch of
the 18th. We have had no rain since
May 9th and the days arc very warm
and the nights cool. Everything is dried
up by the searching sun, and all the grain
is blishted lin many places the corn has
not come up; the ground is baked hard
in our cauip. The peaches aud apples are
looking we'll, and strawberries are plenty.
Our picket duty is greater than it Was
before the rebels took our teams, { May
l4th). 1t comes round in two three days.
the rebels did not make anything, for We
took 20 horses FROM them for our 2 mules
and 4 horses, and our teams are better
than before; but We havea guard to 60
with the teams when they 60 out of camp.
The sickness has subsidized in our regi-
ment 1t ragged in may to great extent;
from the 10th to the 3lst. Is died and
many more were sick. Since June came
in there has been but few deaths, and
those in the hospital are getting well SO
that they can 60 home in july. The
boys enjoy themselves well, but they think
that the last so days is,more than they
agreed for. but are willing to stay longer
and serve their country. But woe to the
copperhcads when the 18th get back to
Vermont, for we have no pleasure in them.
He that will forsake his country in this
trying hour, shall be last out in the dark.
ness where there will be glittering guns
and swords to devour him. Hs..
On the 10th inst, the soldiers were
paid two months pay, up to May LIST. so
things are lively in camp. Whiskey sells
at 81 canteen full. The soldiers buy
great deal of milk at 10 cents canteen
full. ~
Our regiment has 80 on the sick list;
40 have died, and 81 discharged, which
leaves $50 men fit for duty.
June l5M.--We have orders to strike
our A tents and take fly tents, so every
soldier can carry his house on his
back and set it up when he stops. Alto
A. NJ. train of artillery passed our
camp. 1t went as still as if it was fu-
neral procession; nothing but the rattling
of the wheels on the hard road could be
heard At l P. NJ. lot of cavalry
passed, all in good order. A part of
Hooker's army crossed here. another at
the Shoals, and another at Colchester on
pontoop bridges; so they are in three
places crossing the Occoquan. At $50
P. M. drove of cattle passed. They
Were over an honr passing our camp.
When the sun went down the wagons
and the weary soldiers were still coming
June l7M.-Picket was relieved at 10
A. NJ, and on returning to camp, it had
been moved about so rods. The lst Vt.
Brigade is camped 6 miles from us, and
many of our boys have gone there to see
their friends, SO that there is not many in
camp. Yours &C., l J.. j. SEELY.

By an order Of Robert On1d, Rebel
Agent Of Exchange, the officers and men Of
Gen. Steycuson's division, Gen. Bowen's
division, Gen. Moorc's brigade, the ed
Texas regiment, and Wallis Legion, cap
tuned and paroled by Gen. Grant, at Vicla-
burg, were returned to the field in violc-
ton Of the cartel, and thrown into Braggs
army to augment their forces in opposition
to Rosecrans. The result was our defeat.
In view Of this unparalleled breach Of taith
we trust that all further confidence in rebel
word is done away with. The blackes'
crime Of which soldier eau be guilty Is
diahonor, and the nice distinctions Of hon
orable etiquette arc nowhere moro rigidly
observed than in the army. The rebels,
in the desperation Of a bad cause have
violated the most solemn obligations, and
thereby placed themselves outside the pale
Of honorable warfare. We would not ad'
vocate similar violation upon our OWL
part, although the circumstances warrant
it, but wc do insist that any ofthoso twelve
thousand pe1urers taken prisoners be sho
without any unnecessary delay, 1t is ths
only atonement possible for their deep dis
grace and deliberate violation Of faith.

The rebels rely upon the peace party a.

dirty work they hare on hand This has
bean plain to all who have thought upon

the fact BIZ rebel abroad; and his bold
and confident parade Of it before the Eng
