STATE Insurance CONPANY.-We call
the attention Of our readers to the card Of
the State Insurance Company of this city,
also opinion Of John W. LOngyear, attOr-
ney for said Company reIuting the gross
and outrageous charges made by the b.
ckanan Weekly Union, a paper published
in Berrien County, and which has been no.
ticed by some Of our exchanges. The pub
lcatiOn was false in every particular If
the Publisher Of that paper knew the Off
GERS Of the institution as well as the people
of Lansing do, they would never have pre-
ferred such wantOn charges against the
Company. The lberality OF the Company
in the settlement with Mr. BarmOre, is one
more proof to the number we already have
of their honesty Of purpose. They were
not liable for a cent, yet they paid the man
very nearly his entire loss. After such a
transaction on the part of the Company,
We can the more cordially recommend
them 10 the public

LARGE LAND SALE.-We are informed by
Cyrus Hewitt. Esq. Deputy Commissioner
of the State Land Office, that Hon. f. ii.
Thompson, Of Flint, made the largest pur-
chase Of state lands, swamp ana school,
on yesterday that has been made in any one
day since the organization OF our State
Government. The purchases We're made,
we understand for eastern capitalists. Mr..
Thompson knows our State well, and Is
familiar with its varied resources and adj
vantages, and his extensive explorations
and travels in the Upper Peninsula have
given him advantages in the way of making
profitable selections above that OF almost
any man in the State As soon as eastern
men of capital become fully informed rel
alive to the resources Of our State our
public lands will be more eagerly sought
after. Michigan to-day is disposing OF as
much of her vast domains as any State in
the Union, and there is no State in the
Union that offers equal advantages to emf
grants and new settlers.

Il may be useful to state in this connection that
the total Funded Debt Of the United states on which
interest ia payable in gold the 81 day Of March,
1854, was s76s 065 600. The interest on this debt

tons of public and private life, in battle he
was brave and fearless. At all times he held
himself subject to the cause of his country,
counting his own life as nothing in the scale.
During the whole of the Mexican war he up
held the honor of his native land on many
fercely contested field. and, after the declara.
ton of peace with that country, he was en-
gagged in a most arduous service against the
Camanche Indians, on the frontiers of Texas,
for three years. Then, wishing for repose, he
resigned his position in the army, and engaged
in Ethe peaceful pursuit of farming, in the
State of Iowa. in which State he was still re-

once rendered his services to the Governor of
that State and was accepted eFi
He was with Gen. Grant in all his triumphs

inforce Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley,

The rebel army Of Gen. PsRIcs, in Mis-
souri,, is moving southwark from Boone
vile over the same nroute that he has
travelled SO often in times past, : PRICE, it
is supposed, has obtained comparatively
few voluntary, recruits since his entry into
the State, the additions that have been
made to his force being chiefly conscripts.
Gen. RosEoRANs has taken the field in
person, but it is believed that Old Pap
will not suffer himself to be overtaken.
The latter is raiding the country hastily
and thoroughly, and denuding it Of sup

property wantonly, such as setting oil and
molasses to running from, theircasks in
stores; but no houses have been burned,
and nothing committed to the flames.
