Rev. DR.. Geo. Junkin, formerly Presi-
dent Of Washington College, Lexington,
Va. is spending few days at this place,
in the service of the Christian Commission.
lie resigned his position in the College,
and has devoted himself to the cause of the
Union. He has written book on Secess-
ion, which is a clear expose of the fallcies
which have deluded SO many thousands,
and plunged US into cruel war. He is
now visiting the prisoners, some Of whom
were formerly his pupils. 1t is to be hoped
that practical knowledge Of their charac-
ter, may enable him to approach them in
such manner as shall be successful in re-
claiming them from their errors, and causing
them to sincerely return to their allegi-
ance.

WHEN the disputed lines between Canada
and Vermont were settled by the Govern
ment, bne plantation, claimed By the State,
was set off to Canada The winters be-
came so much colder that the planter sold
out and moved across the lines and bought
his neighbors farm, We hardly expect a
greater change of temperature in our late
change of Departments, from Virginia and
North Carolina to Washington, nor any
" selling out" but arc permitted to an
nounce to those friends interested, that ar

The GoLD SPECTATORS People are
wondering why gold continues to advance
when everything looks so favorable for Ill
innate success in the field. We find in the
New York papers two reasons, and there
is doubtless truth in both Says the Ex-
press:
" There is a clique in Wall and William
streets aud elsewhere, striving to run ~
gold to zoo, expecting them to sell out at
a large profit. Some of the spectators
have also made large bets that gold will
reach this price, and are willing to sacrifice
good deal to win their bets, even though
they lose money upon the speculation for u
time The souls of the spectators must
be good deal harder than the metal in
which they deal. aud they Seems to care but
little what becomes of the country or its
people 50 that they profit by the war.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to the
panic which the gamblers and speculators
have been laboring for some days past to
excite, has the following good advice:
Keep cool. Don't get excited. What
goes up must come down. See that you
stand from under. The influences that are
at work upon the markets are as really gen
uine rebel as If JetE's own hand was on the
bellows. This imitation, this frantic climb
ing of prices will end only in one way, and
all who are in the way when the fall comes
will get hurt. Deal in flour, go in on high
wines, put up your margins on gold and
grain but know that suddenly the winds
that arc getting up this tornado in the mar
kets will suddenly lull without warning,
without premonition-and what fall that
will be. oh countrymen! 1t is quite tune
to be building hospital for lame ducks
Its wards will be presently full

a Sac ccssfuI Insurance Company

A PROPERLY written history of the world g
mercantile operations would gradually work
more and more into history Of the insurance
system. 1t is profitable then to turn to the
record of a single successful corporation, and
note the increasing favor i'll yearly commands.
And for such a company we point to the
Washington Insurance Company.
This Company commenced bust ness in
December, 1850, with capital Of $500, 900,
under the management of its present efficient
president, who has given it his undivided at
tention from the start. The result is shown
in its perfect management and success. Du-
ring the Fl rst eight years it paid $288, 900
in dividends to stockholders, being an aver
age Of 16 per cent. per annum. In 1850 its
capital was doubled 5000, 900 to $40O, 900,
and the Participation System adopted 'the
safest and cheapest system of insurance -
The Company also added the business of in
surfing in land marine risks on the lakes and
rivers and canals. Since then it has divided
S180,000 among stockholders, and has also
made three dividends in scrip of 80 per cent.
on the earned premiums Of policies entitled
to participate, being the largest scrip rebate
made by any company for three consecutive
years.
The gross premiums of the Washington, for
the fiscal year ending January 81, 1864, were
S206, Sl4 The Company paid five per
cent. dividend in August last, which, with
the eight per cent, now announced, makes
thirteen per cent. for the year to stockhold-
ers.
Since the removal of the Washington. in
May, 1862, from Wall street, to the spendid
building erected by DR.. Eleazer PARMLY, on
the corner of Broadway and Maiden Lane
it has largely increased its business.
We refer to the success of the Company
with pleasure, and do not hesitate to recon-
mend it to those who are in want of insur
ance against loss or damage by fire, or the
risks ofinland navigation on the lakes, rivers
and canals Mr. Satterlee the president, Mr.
Weston, the yice-president, and Mr. Lothrop
the secretary, are well known to abe public
as efficient and reliable MEM. Y. SPEorA-

Correspondence of the Telegraph.
From the First wisconsin Volunteer
Infantry,


GRAYsynLE, Ga. March 81. |
FRIEND TELEGRAPH Perhaps amidst the
important and never ending varieties of news
to which your attention is constantly being
called, you have forgotten that there still
lives, away down among these mountains, a
little organization known as the "1st w. V"
To prevent such a state of affairs, I have con
cluded to post you up in regard to our where
abouts and condition.
We left Chattanooga on the 23d of Feb
ruary, where we had passed the most uncom-
Portable winter ever knew, to participate
in the feint upon Dalton. Having just had
three or four hundred drafted men added to
our numbers we were in fact, body of
raw troops, and consequently took no very
active part unless you call some pretty tall
marching and skirmishing over hills and
dales that would tire rocky mountain
goat, active service. We passed one night
on Buzzard Roost, about as comfortable as
you would clinging to the side Of hay
stack Though we were in no very warm
place, we saw enough of war to try the
nerves of those unused to such sights, and
[ am glad to say, our new comrades con-
Quoted themselves with such GOODNESS and
bravery, as to receive the praise of our Off
GERS, and to call forth the compliments of the
newspaper reporters who were looking to
see the ''conscripts" run.
We are now on the Atlanta road 16 miles
from Chattanooga. Lookout Mountain is in
plain view from here, so you may form some
idea of its size. The pictures in the illus
trated papers give no idea of its appearance.
The elements concluded to have spree
on the anniversary of the vernal equinox
They commenced by throwing about foot
of snow over us, and melting it, to see us
wade in it and stamp our feet to keep them
warm. The boys however with their usual
tact of turning every thing to the best ac-
count, fought battle which lasted nearly
all day, with such vigor as to render it un-
safe for non.combatants to stir out. 1t
would be impossible to give the number Of
prisoners taken, or the lame arms which re-
suited, but it is generally conceded to have
been one of the hardest fought battles of the
war.
The health of the regiment is unusually
good considering the number who are just
J acclimating. No prevailing disease except
measles and mumps.
Lieut.. Teets, the corporal who led US of
the battlefield of Perryville, has received hi'
commission as First Lieutenant. Corpora
Van Alstine returned a day or two since
looking sound and hearty. His arrival wa
: opportune, and many of our non-commis
) stoned officers are absent Vim. Cotter ha
also returned we don't think warm be-
, and square meals the past winter has injur
ed his constitution bit.
Co. E, can no longer be considered Ken
osha Co. Its members have come togethe
from all parts Of the earth. Such a muir
: dering of the English language I neve
heard before. / think person who belongs
to the company for the next three years

MEssRs. EDITORS:
No doubt the New York Life Insurance
Company are placed in an unfavorabIe 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.. J.. 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.. Kelloggs communica-
ton in another column, and commissioner
Wrights letter, as there published. By it
they will see that on Nov. 1st 1862, the
New York Life had scrip which they had
issued for dividends out and unredeemed 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 better
ShouiDg, on the 3rd day of April, 1863, they
repudated all but 1927, 900, 90 Of this scrip
and very cooIly inform Commissioner Wright
in letter to him, that the large amount Of
1928, 913, 40 is not only still liable for the
losses Of the Co., but c0@not be pajd a0ithout
further action Of The B0nrd.
This 1868, 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 10 years old. If
we were to judge the future by the past,
think those who are insured in the New
York Life and are now getting their scrip
for dividends must place a very low value up
On it.
The only allusion will make to the per-
3onalities INDUCED in by my co-worker, is,
hat he very justly remarks that honesty is
he best policy" and think he was strong
y actuated by this conviction, when he pub
ished his Co.'S, letter to Mr.. Wright, but it
S well he did, as now the public can see
ust what the ''modus operandi" of that Com
,any has been in regard to their dividends
Turing the past thirteen years.
