OFFIoE-No. IA Wis. ST. Milwaukee,
This Company has $137 of assets for eve
ry 500 of its liabilities and is thus safe be-
yond all contingencies. 1t is moreover a
purely mutual company having not the in
cumbrance of guarantee capital to absorb a
large portion of the profits which should be
divided among the policy holders in the form
Of dividends. Many persons are not aware Of
the distinction between purely mutual com
pany and one having a guarantee capital
Itmay be illustrated in this wise two mer.
chants embark in business-the one witt
$4,000, capital of his own-the othe with the
same amount and also with So, 900 more o
borrowed money. The second merchant could
make prima facie show to his creditors O
a large basis for credit which would O
course, be fallacious. This difference is seer
by the report of Commissioner Wright in re
spect to certain companies doing business il
this State-with the guarantee capital, which
is, so far as the policy holders are concerned
borrowed money included as portion of TIN
assets, several companies stand as follows;

". Fl. TTescott, Esq'-S1R: As nv official
term is about to close, leaving me free to at
tend to matters personal to myself, invite your
attention to correspondence between us in
September, 1858. Two paragraphs of your
letter of September Goth, are offensive and I'M
just to me. The first is as follows:
"You have taken advantage of your official
position to commit act both of injustice and
discourtcsy."
The second is AS follows
"Having thus stated the facts as thew arc,
have only to express my regret that neither
the obligations Of your high office, nor the ira
dltlonal courtesy which belongs to those who
have heretofore discharged its duties, should
while it secured yo,rthc fullest Justice, wovfd
have been more in keeping with tho tone and
temper that have hitherto marked the relations
Of the gentlemen of the State"
In view ofmy letter of September 3Oth set
ting forth both the facts as they existed and the
object of my telegram Of 26th Septembcr-to Mr.
Seddon, respectfully ask a withdrawal of this
language.
This will be handed to you by my friend,

14o". H. IL. OoHtHW, dC., &c, dc.:-SIR
l have received your letter Of the 18th of De-
ccmbcr, requesting the withdrawal of certain
language in my letter TO you of the Goth Sep
ten1ber, 1868, and referring to your letter of
the 3oth September, in reply thereto as furnish
ing the reasons why I should Withdraw this
language.' Allow me to call to your attcn-
ton, that when you addressed me that letter
yo,bdistinctly closed the correspondence. Re-
opening it, as you now do, gives me the oppor-
tunity to be perfectly frank. l wrote YOU nv
letter of the 29th, under the impression that
you lad, in the manner N which you proceed
cd, done Inc injustice and discourtesy. Your
letter OF the 3Oth, stating that. neither in your
teegran's or message, had you made any per-
soma! imputaton on any onc did not under
stand as relieving me Of that impression. For
never charged you with impnting to me dis
honorable conduct, but complained Of the of
fensive manner in which thought you under
took to ,coNeet:my statements.
Your present reference to that letter allows
me tbiunderstand ID as meant to Indicate that
IN your conduct there was no personal offence.
With that understanding ! checrfnlly withdraw
the language used under a misapprehcnsiou Of
your purpose. Respectfully,

closing the correspondence or recludine your

The Prince and Princess Of Wales, n

suite of London Newspaper reporters, q, 10
know or pretend to know everything 4at
the royal pair are doing. The most ic-
ulous specimen of the writings of / Sc
Jenkinses Is found in late letter OF he
London Herald correspondent:
/ faIt is not for me to pry into the secrets
of august personages, or to dream Of re-
peating the little facts or expressive words
that may have come to my ears, but
one expression of his Imperial Highness,
the Grand Duke of Russia, is so pretty,
and shows how entirely he gives heart, as
vel ssl hand, to the illustrious lady he has
selected as the partner of his great destiny,
that it may not be improper should mem
ton it. 1t may have been on one OF the
walks, or sitting in one Of the rustic seats
Of the royal pleasure ground, or possibly
in one OF the deep recessss of the ancient
windows of the castle, and when looking
out on the diamond studded heavens of
Northern night, that the tall, fne-lOokinS
Grand Duke fixed his large eyes on the
still more impressive ones Of his beautiful
betrothed: tDagmar,' he said, those are
not eyes you have; indeed, they are not
eyesP Not eyes2 said the lively prin-
cess, with look which went
to his heart, what are they,
if not eyes 2 By heaven, said the
lovesick imperial prince, they are stars.
If mention little fact of this kind it is
to show that this Russian royal marriage
is not to be one Of those so unhappy In
their consequences, brought about by fam
ily arrangements, or to fu -ther dynastic in
huences, but that it is union Of pure af-
lection, in which the lover has selected the
bride to whom he hasgiven his whole heart;
and has SO conducted himself-ss would
the humblest peasant suing for a return OF
his loEe-that he has won to himself, by
his own personal attractions and the elo-
quence inspired by an enamored heart, the

General Morgan saw lit to address the
Democracy of this city on Thursday night.
His argument seemed to be three sided.
All the military disasters of the war we're
due to Abraham Lincoln. There is no
General equal to gunboat George, and gun-
boat George has been very much abused.
This very profound argument was pepper
ed with the usual twaddle about the na-
tional debt, "nigger war" arbitrary ar

Keep it before the people that Davis Is

been opposed to making any concessions
to the enemy whatever, has been prevailed
upon to grant an armistice to the North.
