1NsURANcE.-We were favored with a
call, last week, from D. T. L. Price, ESQ :,
travelling agent of the Kansas Mutual and
Stock Insurance Company. at Leaven-
worth. He reports that be is meeting
with cheering success in every part of the
State. The business done by this Com
pany is safe one. Heavy risks are not
taken. but are confined to farm buildings
and detached city property. Persons cen
insure either on the mutual or stock plan.
For stock insurance, the rates are some
what higher than on the mutual plan;
but by the latter. each man insuring will
receive back dividend; and even should
the Company lose heavily by fires, the
loss to each member will be very light.
So that insurance in this Company will
be not only safe, but profitable. Give this
home institution q trial.

A HoGGIsH AFFAIR.-There is q Ger.
tain set over IN the Bottom, who have for
a long time been carrying on with high
hand--claiming to b. devoted to the Onion
cauee, and always sutitring some griev-
snce at the hands of rebel sym pathizers.
But the public mind is settling down
pretty firmly in the BELIEF that they sre
simply set of thieves, usirg the cloak
of Unionism to cover their lawlessness
An incident occurred last week, which
shows the stuff they are made Of.
The wife of soldier who is in the
Union army. BY some means incurred
their displeasure-probably she occupied
a piece of land which some of them COW
eted-and they set about plundering her.
They took away, among other things. a
pet pig belonging to ber; but it escaped
from them, and in few days returned
home. Again they came and carried of
the pig. and in q short time it was out
and home again. She then placed it in
pen. and determined to keep it by force
of arms. She had not long to wait. The
gang came once more, and she got inside
the pen with q club, and fought them with
will, keeping them at bay for some
time. At length couple of them got
hold of her and choked her, while the
others beat retreat with the pet pig-this
time for "keeps," as it has not found its
way back any more.
Such is specimen of the exploits of
tue model Union men over in the Bottom.

SHERMAN AND LEA correspondent
speaking of the transfer Of the war to the
Atlantic coast. ssys:-Fesrs are express.
cd lest General Lee. BY hastiiy evscuat-
ing the rebel capital and concentrating.
should crash General Sherman. Aside
from the impossibility of executing such
q movement in ths presence Of General
Grants armies. it is very much to be
questioned whether General Lee has force
sufficient to defeat GeDerh Sherman's e
army. Thegrand army Of the Mississippi
numbers more than is generally supposed.
and any person who knows the splendid
condition of that force. and the skill of
the remarkable man who heads it. is re-
luctant to admit that even General. Les's
army could defeat it. On the contrary.
it is the opinion of the better informed
that if such case should arise. General
Sherman'wonld be found perfectly willing
to accept battle and decide the struggle
But it will soon bs seen that such a case
cannot arise. Developments soon to be
made will prove how guarded onr Lieut
General is to any such contingency. His
dispositions are such as will soon make
it apparent that. while his columns are
three in number. they are one SO far as
their object and means of supporting each
other are concerned.

"Whenever the REBELLION becomes so

And if this time should ever come, France.

should be abolished a. q preliminary

be in condition to disdain recognition.
