All the Colonies. ......

This is considerably more than the popula-
ton of the United States at the period of our
independence and the present population of
the chief cities of Canada is greater than
that of ours in 1876 Their commerce, too,
is as great as ours was ir I79D-nearly TWEEN
ty years after we took our place among the
nations of the earth. Provision is made for
the future admission OF all the other British
North American Provinces into the Confede-
ration.
There il at present no harmonious feel
ing between the Canadian provinces and the
British government. 1t will not be strange,
however, if, with the adoption of the new
form Of government the aspiration for indie
pendence is developed. The new govern
ment will have no question of domestic slave
~ to excite dissensions, but there is an in
tense bitterness of feeling between the Cath
Ole and the English Church, widespread and
alreadyra leading element in Canadian poll
tics, which may cause serious troubles

A Card from Mrs. Randolph.

MADISON, Nov Is, 1864.
To John s.. DeanSA agent Of the Mutual LIFE Insa-
rance oos.peny Of. WIscOnsin;
DEAR SIR: IL BECOMES pleasant duty to ac-
knowledge the prcmptpess WITH which the Com
pany you represellt have paid the sum Of Three
Thousand Dollars, being the full am ountof Pol
icy of Insurance, issued In January last on Csc
life Of my late husband. "a e
t~Perui, nssalso to tenderray sincsre thanks = :
the assistance rsudered ~ sourseff in prepalsns
an forwarding the necessary papers to establish
my claim, relieving me of all personal trouble or
expense. AGNES G. RANDOLPH.
REMARKs.-The above card explains ITSELF
the sad event which originated the claim be-
ing fresh in the memory of this community.
Although the terms of the Policy did not OBJ
/ fgate- the Company to pay the claim until
ninety days after proof of death, and the ne
cessities of the family in the present instance
did not require it, yet the Companylprefer to
maintain its established reputation for prompt
ness in settlement of its losses.
1t is gratifying to know that we have with.
in the borders of our own State such a
thoroughly reliable and successful Institution
as the Mutual Life Insurance Company of
Wisconsin. The first five years of its exis-
tenee was to certain extent an experiment,
and some were Inclined TO look with distrust
upon it as compared with Eastern companies,
having the accumulation of long term of
years. But doubling days have passed. With
its present accumulationsa Of over $3.50, 900,
and as successful officers and agents as are
employed by any company, there is no longer
any reason why Western men should invest
their money at the East. The excess of the
Company for the past two years in procuring
new business, as compared with the older
companies shows to the disadvantage of the
latter, and they are straining every nerve to
oceunv the field. s..tatJ 80 --f
1t must be apparent to all that Life Insur-
rance isnOt5only important, .butthe choice Of
the Company is equally So. The Mutual of
Wisconsin is the only Northwestern Life. In
surance Company, and being strictly mutual
Company, all its profits. are divided among
the policy holders. X; IS a,rrrsq
SAM'L MARSHALL, President State Bank;
SIMEON MILLS, President Bank of Madison,

Another account says Sherman had his
Headquarters on Monday, the 18th, at Kinps.
toh'with the 14th Corps He had issued an
order to telling the troops they were about
to pass through country heretofore unoccu.

to subsist on the country, taking all beeves
and mules within reach The 14th Corps was
the rear-guard of Sherman's, and moved on

Gen. Sherman, has arrived at Buffalo, hav-

The Proposed Canadian Union.

While.Re are engaged in life and death
struggle for the maintenance of National
liaity, our Canadian neigbbeFs are attempting
to form their several provinces into confed,
! erationndera central goyernment Delegates
have been in session for some time at Que
bee and have agreed on plan of Union
which awaits the approval of the British
tGovernment. The sessions Of the delegates
we've secret, but sketch of the proposed form
of government, said to be correct, has been
unofi cisliy published. -
The general scheme is an imitation of the
English Government, with additions to suit
the circumstances of its formation out of
provinces. This introduces some of the ,fea-
lures of our system of State Governments,
administering local affairs subject to the Cen
eral Government, The main features are an
elective House of Representatives, based
upon population, a judiciary appointed by the
central Executive, and an Upper House whose
members are appointed for life by the Execu-
tive.s The elements lacking in british Amer
lea to make the English system, are the her
editary Peers to form the Upper House, and
the hereditary Executive. The first is to be
substituted by creating an Upper House by
iife ppointments AID the, Totherg will be a
Governor General, appointed by the British
Crown. 1t will be position for the first sub
ject of Great Britain, and It suggests place
for one of the Queens sons IAhdsuch is the
affection of the Anglo Saxon part of the peo-
pie of Canada, as of all the British people,
for the Queen, that such an appointment
would probably be received with loyal enthu-
siasm. -s-s
: The provincialG overnments will administer
local affairs. ) They must conform, however,
to the laws of the Central Government which
are of supreme authority Che provincial
Governors are appointed blythe Central Ex-
ecutive, who also appoints ailjudieial Off
GERS down to judges of county courts. The
Central Government also has exclusive con-
troll of banks and banking. Throughout great
care seems to have been. taken to avoid the
possibility of any pretext on the~part of1the
provinces, analogous to the State Sovereignty
doctrines in the United States,-te be plead
in justification of rebellion.

surrender to an "itsfe.ior offer" but was i'm

him to Gen. Curtis headquarters, where he
introduced himself, much to the surprise OF

Curtis asked the boy how long he had to
serve before his term of enlistment would
