of artillery on one occasion aud forty odd
on another, with we know not how many
prisoners. We hear from Gen. Hoods
own lips that in his "victory at Franklin,
he lost thirteen generals, killed, wounded
or captured. He has ceased to advance {:
he has begun to- retreat. In the Valley
here We have opposed force Of cavalry,
armed with nothing but a single-barreled
musket, to superior force of the finest
cavalry in the world, armed with sabres,
pistols, and TIE seven-shooting Spencer
gun.
In the Trans Mississippi General Taylor
was removed forhis spring campaign, and
General Kirby Smith, who has not done
the first solitary thing, has been buried
ingloriously in North western Louisiana
during the whole of this evenful year.-
Forrest, whose military genius fitted him
for the most important. enterprises, has
been leading a small body of raiding cav
airy General Bragg, it is lrue, was des-
patched to check General Sherman; but
it appears so far has met with no success.
Our finances, our river and harbor de-
fences, our international negotiations, onr
domestic politics, have been managed in
precisely the SAME extraordinary way
For the first, we have never derived any
material benefit from our commanding
staples Of cotton and tobacco. For the
second, the proposition to construct gun
boats in the beg ginning Of the war was re-
iected. For the third, we have not appli-
ed TO European powers in the only way
that we could reach them. and We lave
encouraged at tho North the Republican
politicians as against their opponents
For the last, we have, as far as it has been
possible under the circumstances, system.
atically offended one OF the great origin
political parties in our midst. -
Nearly all things have been done in a
malign, perverted way; we have been
breathing an impure air; we have been
nourishing vicious blood we have seen
with refracted light; we have prophesi-
ed with stammering lips. Our leader is
afflicted with proud flesh F.; he sees with
an oblique eye; his ear has nosense ofhar-
mony; he has no idea of proportions {; no
idea of relation lie is affected with color
blindness; he combines like the kaleido-
scope he sees with the vividness of the
mailman, but there is villainous demon
within that wrests things ont oftheir places;
like some fine instrument in its concep-
ton, chord or spring has been broken,
and what should have discoursed eloquent
music, utters harsh, discordant sounds.

soyNETs by WORDSWORTH.

There is bondage worse, far worse, to bear -,
Than his who breathes by roof and floor, and wall
Pent in, Tyrant's solitary thrall:
IT'S his who walks about in the open air,
Oae Of nation who, henceforth must wear
Their letters in their souls. For who could be,
who. even the best, in such condition, free
From self reproaeh, reproach which he must snare
With human nature! Never be it ours
To see tie sun how brightlyfit will shine,
ind know that manly feelings, manly powers,
lnstead of gathering 9Th, must droop ard pne
And earth with all her pleasant fruits and flowers
Fade and participate in hans decline.
!he world is too much with US late and soon,
Getting and spending, We lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, seFdId ooon!
This sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be bowling at all hours,
And arc up gathered now like sleeping lowers;
For this, for everything, VIC are out OF tune; 49,,
1t moves US not Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan sucked in creed outworn,
So mig ht I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight Of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

Our Father God, who art in heaven!
all halow'd be thy name;
They kingdom come thy will be done,
In earth and heaven the same.
Give US this day our daily bread;
And as we those forgive,
Who sip against us, so may We
Forgiving grace receive.
Into temptation lead US not;
From evil set US free;'
And thine the kingdom, thine the power,
And glory ever te.

Insurance IN ENGLAND-A writer in the British
Almanac for 1864 estimated the amount of property
insured in England at 81, al 900 900; and the to-
tai property insured and uninsured ut 95 DOC, 900

liable to destruction by fire, valued at 81 500 600

may be safely said that tho area above named is
equal in value to all the real and personal property
in the Confederate States, and to half that Of the
United States including New York, Boston and the
numerous other large cities
The premiums paid for the insurance Of property

ed that the premiums paid to the companies are four

necessary premiums might be reduced one bal, but
for the fraudulent demands they are compelled to
comply with" The premium paid by an honest
policy holder consists of four parts; q which one
part is the real risk, two other parts the compensa
ton and profits of the insurers, end the remaining
part contribution to the frauds of dishonest policy
holders. 1t is sad commentary on human nature,
that with all the and watchulness of experts,
the cheating among policy holders is as great as the
destruction by fire! If mans property be so scat.

France which began the system of insurance
much latter than England, now far exolls the lat
ter in the amount insured, though the premiums
paid and the losses incurred are much less even in
the aggregate The United Kingdom, in 1856, in.
sured five and half millions of property at an aggre.

al losses paid by the companies Of $4,s75, Ooe-
France insureS nine thousand millions of property
at an aggregate premium of 81, 100000. The cause
of this difference is not explained. The insured
amount of the United States in 1856 was estimated
at only s175, 100000, but little than one ath
of the amount insured in Great Britain.
