The Mutual Benefit Life ms Co. VS.. The
N. Y. Life.

The great length of Mr.. Kimball's Communication
will oblige me to answer in circular which is all
ready in print; meanwhile abstract OF the whole
may serve to dsabuse the public.
The first charge made by Mr.. X, is that 1 did not
surrender the agency Of the New York Life at
great pecuniary sacrifice; my answer to which is
two fold: LIST. never said that 1 did. End. it is
true nevertheless; and now aver, and am read to
prove that sacrificed four-ffths of my yearly in
come on my Life business by making the change
complained of and that made this sacrifice for
two reasons: first because Of the superior ddvGn-
tages aw in the Mutual Benefit system for the as
sared, and secondly becauseI beleyed-and my sue
thus far has fully justified my belief-that IN
the end. tie exchange Of agency woald be much
more advantageous for myself
The and charg is, that, after claiming triumph
over MI Neal in our newspaper controversy of last
winter. have been suddenly converted by review
1.-THE same arguments. To which answer, 1st that
my part of the controversy with Mr.. Neal was con-
fined to one single pointyiz: the expenses of the N
Life, about which he had been misled, as he &C.
knowedged and that most carefully avoided every
other position taken by him, because foresaw the
result; and that facts and not review of his argu
ments have satisfied me, of the east advantages
the Mutual Benefit Co. offers to its policy holders
over the New York Life. as will lappear by the
statistics given below the highest official author
ity, al Ike disinterested and conclusive.
He says furthermore, or implies hat by claiming
to have been further enlightened by later official
reports seek to mislead To this charge say that,
inasmuch as the MassaehusettsCom make

FALL IN THE PRICE OF CoAL-A sale by
auction of twenty-five thousand tons of Scran-
ton coal took place at New York yesterday
1t was the regular monthly sale of that coal,
and it brought the following prices; Crate
$S.45 $50; lump 7.S0 aS.15; egg S.25 8 SO;
stove SIS aS.S7 IL; chestnut 7.00a ITO
This is a heavy decline from the last monthly
sale. and shows that the present high prices
for coal cannot be sustained.

CoAL-The Philadelphia Ledger of Satur-
day says, in its market review - The anthra-
cite coal tonnage is again heavy the past week,
reaching PSI, $50 tons, increasing the coal ton
mage of the year to 7.5S7,169 tons, against
6773,56S tons the corresponding time last
year, being an increase of 763, COL tons. The
trade, though active in the way Of production
and shipment to market, is little dull in the
way Of sales and prices are weak. This will
be gratifying news to consumers, and can
scarcely fail to be equally SO to all considerate
producers, for it is almost universally conced-
ed that prices are too high for the real pros

Georgia and Peace.

The Richmond Dispatch is greatly alarmed
lest Sherman should induce Georgia to come
back into the old Union. 1t says Sherman is
DESTROYS of holding conference with Vice
President Stephens and Gov. Brown, the OBJ
ject of which is to detach Georgia from the
Conlederacy. Some fears are expressed that
these two gentlemen may consent to such a
conference, and these fears are founded on the
fact that they have beenopposed to the habeas
corpus act and some other measures. The
editor of the Dispatch hopes and prays that
Sherman will be disappointed and no such
conference held, and yethe regrets that Steph-
ems and Brown should have ever advocated
any kind of policy which Yankee General
could possibly interpret into a willingness to
hold such meeting SO pregnant with disaster
to the Confederacy. ,4..s ~
The editor says Gov. Brown ought to re-
member the fact that Georgia seeded from
the Union next after South Carolina, and that
if she now treats of peace on her own terms
as a sovereign State, she withdraws from the
Confederacy, and leaves her sisters to hold
the bag after having got them into this scrape."
The editor says he alludes to these things now
because separate State action has been agitat-
ed of late in more quarters than one. And
we can tell him that few more Union vic
tories will greatly multiply these quarters
where State action will be agitated. The
military power of JEFF Davis once destroyed,
the Union sentiment will revive and show it.
