The last report of this company states its
capital and surplus at 1852, 500, 45, which
shows an increase of nearly $4,000 over the
same total for last year. This fact is a tell
ing testimonial to the progress of the
Washington. It's capital is $780, 900; its sur
plus is 1882, S10 Some idea of the char
acter and the amount of business done by
the company may be gathered from the fact
that its premiums received, for the fiscal year
ending in Jan. 1864, amounted to $210, 154,
while its expired premiums were only $98-
103. This shows that it does a consider
able and successful business on what are
termed ''short risks" Indeed, out of 651
policies maturing during the lasttwo months
of the year, not over fifty were on special
hazards, upon which there was no loss.
While the Washington is eminently con-
is seen in the character
of its risks-it still possesses the energy to
do strong local basiness. Thus it exempIi.
fies the great truth that energetic action is
as essential to success as capital. Results
Justify its policy. Its dividends have al
ways been paying ones, to stockholders. Since
the commencement of the participating sys-
TEN, it has divided among these latter, $780,
900, besides giving three scrip dividends of
80 per cent each, on participating policies,
in the course of the last three years. The
amount of its participation dividends for
1868, was over $4,000, which shows that a
large portion of the fire business is done on
this plan.
The company is most fortunate, too, in
able and untiring officers. Its President
Mr.. Satterlee, is a Woodworking man, who
gives his whole attention to the advance
ment of the interests of the corporation; and
his exertions are aided in similar spirit of
watchful energy by Vice President Weston,
and the accomplished and courteous Secre-
taries There is no pleasanter Office than
that Of the Washington-on the corner of
Broadway and Maiden Lane When the
company moved thither from Wall street, it
was thought that the site was too far up
town. But time has proved the wisdom Of
the removal. The Washington now occu-
pies elegant and conspicuous quarters, SO
that she who runs may read" where to find
security for his worldly goods.
We take the above from the Insurance
Aoni tor. We have only to add that I. w.
MERRILL, of the Kenosha Pier Co, is the
Agent of the washington" for this place.

ST LOUIS, March 7th.-Ihe following adj
dress from Major Gen. Steele to the people
of Arkansas was received at Department
Headquarters last night.
HEADQUARTERS, LITTLE Rock,
Feb. 20, 1864.
To the people of Arkansas:
1t affords the General Commanding the
highest qualification to be able to say that
by the conduct of the army under his COM
mand, In connection with the wise admin
istration of the Government by its officers
at Washington peace has been so far restor-
ed in your midst as to enable you to insti-
tute proceedings for the restoration of the
civil Government, by which order may be
firmly established, and the rights of persons
and property secured against violence and
the danger Of anarchy The Convention of
your citizens held at Little Rock during the
last month, has adopted a Constitution and
submitted it toyou for your approval or
rejection. That Constitution is based up
on the principles of freedom, and it is now
for you to say by your voluntary and I'M
biased action, whether it shall be your fun
damental law. While it may have defects.
in the main it is in accordance with the
views Of that portion of the people who have
been resisting the fratricidal attempts which
have been made during the last three years.
The Convention has liked the fourteenth
day of March next on which to decide this
great question, and the General Command
ing is only following the instructions of the
Government when he says to you, that every
facility will be offered for the expression of
yonr sentiments, uninfluenced by any consid-
erations save those which affect your own
interests, and those of your posterity If
you will institute a government of your
own, he feels great confidence in assuring
you that quiet and security will soon be re-
stored to your entire State. Those who
have been unwisely led by the counsel of
bad men to engage in this unjustifable and
wicked rebellion, will speedily return and
acknowledge their rightful sovereignty as
well as the supremacy of the National Gov
eminent over the whole domain, and peace
Will prevail throughout the land. The cleo
ton viii be held, and the return be made in
accordance with the schedule adopted nv
the Convention, and no interference from
any quarter will be allowed to prevent the
free expression Of the loyal men oftbe state
on that day. The schedule will be hereto
appended. To render the election valid
there must be five thousand four hundred
and six q, 4o6) votes. Signed
FRED STEELE
Major General Commanding.

MEssRs EDITORS:
No doubt the New York Life Insurance
Company are placed in an u nfavorable light,
by their Ratio of assets to liabilities being
given by commissioner Wright in his last
report to the State of Massachusetts so
much below that of other Companies. And
that their Agent Mr.. L. S. Kellogg feels
deep regrets, it is very evident from the eff
fort made to explain the matter in his COM
munication to you. But we think the rem
edy is much worse than the disease. We
presume the policy holders in that Co. will
not think their case much improved after a
careful review of Mr.. Kellogg's coinmunica-
ton in another column, and commissioner
Wright's letter, as there published. By it
they will see that on Nov. LIST, 1852, the
New York Life had scrip which they had
issued for dividends out and unredeelned to
the amount of 1858, 800 90. But in order
to raise their ratio of assets or rather to de-
crease their liabilities and make a better
sh0a0jng, on the Ord day Of April, 1863, they
repudiated all but S127, 900, 90 of this scrip
and very coolly inform Commissioner
Wright in a letter to him, that the large
amount of 1926, 913,49 is not only still la
able for the losses of the Co., but cannot be
paid aoithout further action Of the Board.
This 1858, 800, 40 of scrip was for the div
idends declared from 1850 to 1860 inclusive
and therefore, was at the date of this letter
to Mr.. Wright, from to Is years old. If
we were to judge of the future by the past,
I think those who are insured in the New
York Life and are now getting their scrip
for dividends must place very low value
upon it.
The only allusion will make to the per-
scnalities INDUCED in by my co-worker, is,
that he very justly remarks that 'honestyis
the best policy" and l think he was strong
" actuated by this conviction, when he pub
lished his Cos, letter to Mr.. Wright, but it
is well he did, as now the public can see just
what the ''modus operandi' of that Comply
has been in regard to their dividends during
/ the past thirteen years.

The 100000 Call.

The following letter has been received at
the Office of the Adjutant General of the
State 1t is designed to explain fully the
relation of the State to the late calls for 800,
900 and for 200, 900 more:
WAR DEPT, Prov MARSHAL GEMS OF
FIoE, WASHINGTON, d. c., March 7th, 1864.
Gen. 4. Gaylord, Adjutant General of HIS
consin, Madison, Wis:
S1R-in reply to your letter of the 1st inst,
/ am directed to say the quota assigned to
Wisconsin was to make up the proportion
of 500, 900 men. The expression ''to make
up deficiencies was used to refer to the
defencies between the number called
for by the draft in 1868, land the number ac-
tually furnished, but as the call for 500, 900
includes both the call of that draft and the
call of October 18th, the deficiency is inclu-
ded in the quota assigned. There was no
deficiency in Wisconsin upon the calls of
1861 and 1862; if there had been, it would
have been added to the quota computed for
100000
The credits due to estate at large" and
deducted here from the quota, are those re-
ported by the Adjutant General of the army,
for men mustered into the United States SER
vice from Wisconsin without having any
particular town reported. They number ], :
981.
No credits have yet been given for re-en-
listed veterans. The numbers will be OBJ
tanned from the muster rolls, and also from
your list, which it is desirable to have for
warded to the Adjutant General as soon as
possible.

TwenIy-three Deserters Hanged by the
Rebels
WASHINGTON. March II.

WASHINGTON, March H.
A Kingston, n c., correspondent of the
Raleigh Contederate,in speaking of the hang
ing, on the 9th in Kingston, of the % cap
tured soldiers, deserters from the rebel con
scription says:
''The prisoners assembled the scafold with
firm and elastic step, and met their fate with
unhinching fortitude. They asked for no
quarter, and scornfully spurned all overtures
of concession on condition of returning to du-
ty in the Confederate service. The multi
tude were moved to tears, and openly de-
nounced this cruel massacre, which is caus-
ing assertions from the Confederate service
by the wholesale, and creating an indignation
which it is feared will be uncomfortable. 1t
is reported that the rebels intend hanging
the entire number of Union soldiers captured
by them from Col Fosters command, 81 in
number, half of whom have never been in the
rebel service. The native Union troops have
decided to take the question of retaliation
into their own hands. They have given
their officers, who did not approve of the Sc,
we're measure, opportunity to resign, and have
also given warning that immediate death
will be inflicted upon any officer who offers
hereafter to surrender to the enemy or ask
for any quarter"
