A little more than one year ago was
called upon by one Of your gentlemanly
travelling agents and asked to insule in the
Home Of St. Paul: l told him frankly that
it was foolish piece Of business. and I
might as well threw my money out upon
the lake near me as to pay for iusuring in
any company. Z, ,taaz rIf a'z"hg ve:s
It is needless to state what argument, of
his induced me TO insure, but did, and in
the Home, for 800, under policy 29e. l
went to my usual avocation almost lament
ing how ! had become the dupe of an insur-
ance agent. But you can readily imagine
how the vision changed, upon receiving
800 IN greenbacks at the date hereof, be-
ing the full amount of my insurance, At the
hands of your General Ageut, Mr.. w. A.
Wells, my property having been all destIoy-

word to the wise is sufficient, let me say to
every householder, insure in the ''Home''

A conversation was overheard, the latter
part Of last month, on q dark night between
q knot of men, who distinctly detailed 4
plan for shooting President Johnson on the
4th. The speakers were to station them
selves at different points in the crowd, and
while he should be speaking at Gettysburg,

vcrsation was promptly reported to Col.
Baker by Judge Day, who told me Of the
fact. The person who heard it was 4 col

Judge Day as the slaves lawyer, and un-
burdened herself to him If her great secret.
After he had reduced her statement to wri-

BLOODY RIOTS IN CHARLESTON.
The Charleston correspondent of the New
York World, in bis letter OF the 10th,
writes: sAkkt
At last the mad policy pursued by the
United States here, at the instigatien Of
the negro.worshippers, has borne its legiti.1
mate fruit. An irrepressible conflict =
between the whites and blacks has fairly be-
gun, and, strange to say, the combatants of
both compilations wear the uniform of the
United States army. The. Courier, the only
newspaper now published here. attempts to-
make light Of the late disturbances, aud en-
deayors to fasten the responsibility for their.
occurrence upon the people of the city, in
stead of placing it upon those who are real
ly to be blamed. But the Courier is well
knowrto be completely under the control Of
interested officials, and moi, 20 line appears in
its columns, on any subject, that has not
been submitted to the inspection, and re-
ceived the imprimdtur, of major general.
ORIGIN OF THE DIsTuRsANcE.--To get at
the cause of the bloodshed which has oc-
Cured, we must 60 back to the time when
the United States forces first occupied the
city. Had the conmading officers then con-
fined their dealings with the negro popula-
tion simply to the publication and enforce

nations, all would have been well, But
