ABLOODTHsRSrY REBsLyIEW OF
RECONSTRUCr rGOy

HECONSTAUCEtON
A correspondent of The Richmond Wig
Oct. 81, says:
Talking of reconstruction, there is but
one means for q thorough reunion, and
that is by combination between the Con-
federates and the Northern conservatives
cemenied by the blood Of the black re-
pabiicsns. Ii the Northern conservatives
would at once and actively cooperate with
US on this basis, there might be hopes Of
happy and permanent reunion. Blu.
nothing short Of the blood-thc exter-
mination Of the monsters who have made
this war will suffice.
II tho Nor.hcrn conservatives are not
ready for this combine ion, the next and
possibly our best alternative is annexation
10 Eoglspd or France. This would rem
der reunion forever impossible, and ct the
same time crafty that which is the absorb
ing passion Of every Southern heart-ven-
geance on the Internal Yankee. | would
1 make application for annexation in the frs,
instance to England, as the mother coun.
try. Ii she declines, We could then ap-
ply to France. The advantages to either
would be so great that refusal could mol
be expected.
The advantages to US would te, eter
nai separation from the Yankees, and th,
ability of wreaking upon that Goiless rac'
= rich and sweet revenge. At presen
however able We may be to maintain on
independence, We are not able to desolat,
their lsnd as they have desolated ours =
/ Until that is effected the dead cannot res
quietly in their graves.

KENTUCKY SOLDIERS FOR LINCoLN.-A ma
Jority of the Kentucky soldiers voted the
Union ticket. Among others, WoLFoRD's
Kentucky Cavalry gave majority for LIN
coin. This is among the most significant
features of the election in Kentucky. Col
WoLFoRD was arrested for reasonable con-
duct about year ago, and Gov. BRAMLETTE
threatened to get up fight with the President
over the arrest but finally thought better Of
1t. The Copperheads made a great blow
about the matter. His soldiers, it seems,
knew the man, and approve his treatment by
the Government.

MADISON Nov. 10. 1864.
To John s. Dean, agent Of the Mutual Lifa Insas-
rance Company Of Wisconsin,
DEAR SIR It becomes pleasant duty to ac-
knowledge the promptness with which the Com
pany you represent have paid the sum of Three
Thousand Dollars, being the full amount OF 8 Pol
;cy Of Insurance, issued N January last On the
life Of NJ late husband
Permit ns also to tender ny sincere thanks fer
the assistance rendered by yourself in preparing
and forwarding the necessary papers TO establisE.
my claim, relieving me Of all personal trouble CT
expense. AGNES c. RANDOLPH.
REAARKs.-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 Company prefer 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 q
thoroughly reliable and successful institution
as the Mutual Life Insurance Company OF
Wisconsin. The first FIVE years of its exis-
tence was to certain extent an experiment.,
and some were Inclined to look with distrust
upon 1t as compared with Eastern companies,
having the accumulation of a long term of
years. But doubling days have passed. With
its present sccumulations 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
occupy the field.
1t must be apparent to all that Life Insur-
rance is not only important, but the 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.
