We call attention to the statement o
the La Sale Co Insurance Co, in our To-
cal column. The subject is one in which
the community have deep interest, and
ono too little scrutinized even by business
men The statement shows = very great
prodigality on the part OF the public in
this matter of Insurance, which ought to
be put stop to if it can be done by the
simple plan proposed in that article.
In the state of Massachusetts,. where
capital is abundant for tho promotion OF
Stock Cos, more than 60 per cent OF the
whole business is done on the Mutual
principal Inc Insurance Commissioners
of that state in = very able report to the
Legislature, say, that the Mutual system
of insurance Is better suited than the stock
system to the genius and character OF our
free and thinking society, is plain enough
from the marked success of many OF our
Mutual companies. and the still greater
success Of the Mutual Marine insurance. t

We trust our business men and the

ter and secure their own interest by pa

PROSPECTUS FOR 1863.
NOW IS THE TINE TO SUBSCRIBE.
orr TERMS.

There is great deal Of talk among our CO.
temporarics about the "grcat rise in the price
of paper,' ard the necessity for corresponding
rise in the price Of newspapers. We do nos
agree with our friends a. to the last proposition.
1t is true that paper has gone up frightful!y-
fifty per cent. at least, and is "still on its way
up But what of that7 Publishers have for
years had good time with low priced paper,
and made large profits; and nov that times have
changed they should pay the enhanced price f,e
paper without whining, and without attempting
to get it back out of their subscribers. The 10
crease in the price of paper will make differ
cnce Of tens of thousands Of dollars to US year
ly; but we shall not increase the price Of the
LEDGER. That will remain as il is. We anaf.
ford it. The retail price will continne to be four
cents; and our club terms will remain As they
always have been. Onr subscribers have stuck
TO US when paper was cheap; and We do not in
tend to increase cur rates TO them now when it
10 dear. at is a poor rule that won't work both
ways"
All our old contributors have been re engaged
for the ensuing year; our corps will be 20 large,
and will embrace such variety of eminent
talent, that every department of literature will
receive the particular attertion of aome one
competent to do it ample and special justice.
In fact, our contributors will send rs from week
to week much more matter than we can posi-:
bly, use, 80 that we shall ALWAYS have fresh and
superintendent supply from which to select THE
VERY Best.
The LEDGrR's great success Is owing to the
fact that we spare no expense in getting up the
best FAMILY PAPER-a paper of high moral tone.
The exalted reputation Of its contributors, the
practical and invariably pure and healthy char.
acter of all its articles, the care which is taken
that not even one offensive word shall appear in
its columns, and the superiority of its Tales and
Sketches, have gained for tho New YoRx Led
GER position that no literary paper has ever
before reached.
The following are the names Of some Of our
leading contributors for the new year-1s63.
