per cent. Our total loss will not vary much
from S2o0,00 and vas promptly adjusted and

The necessity for insurance and the value of
wealthy, strong sOrporations is forcibly IL
lustrated by this FRA. Several weak insurnnce
companies are destroyed. Portland has n
population OF 35.0O0-wss handsomely built,
mostly fine brick or stone structures-proteeted
and screened with UPWARD OF 1000 shade trees
bounded on three sides by water-indeed,
literally, almost rising from the ocean--and
with steam fro department-yet it has $l0,-
00O,0OO Of property consumed in few hours
upon holiday when its people are least ocsu-
pied-from the very insignificant cause of a
contemptible hrecracker.
Remember the trifing origin Of fires that
sweep away in a few hours the earnings Of
years. Consider your best interest and give the
Rtna Agent a call if you need proper insur-
ance security. Pay fair rate Of premium for
a good and genuine article, and with these
lights and experiences before you, procure
your insurance with shrewd Judgment

IFrom the Wheeling Register. June 15.l
A Sin guIar. EDiscri riFnjuatiOu.

The people of the North are daily in
formed that the policy of the Radical party,
which has made slumbering volcano OF
the. country, is necessary because of South
ern traitors. Traitors, say the Jacobins,
must not participate in public affairs; trea-
son must be made odious. All this is mere
clap-trap. There are now no traitors in
this country but the Racial traitors, and
their treason against the interests and
liberties of the people ought indeed to
make them odious. The insincerity of the
Radicals is strongly illustrated in the
discrimination made I'm favor of the
Southern negroes. 1t is assumed
that all the blacks are "loyal,"
and that the whites, as general thing, are
the reverse. The negro is admitted to suf-
trage without question, while great num-
bers of the best citizens i'll the Southern
States are excluded from the ballot. This
is done, Notwithstanding great majority
of Southern negroes were as fully in SYM
pathy with the rebellion as their masters.
II, in imitation of the example set by the
Federal Government, the Confederate
armies had been thrown open to the blacks,
it is beyond question that fifty volunteers
would have been obtained for the South to
negroes were strong Southern sympa-
thiZers, aiding and abetting the rebellion
by every means in their power. 1t is i'm
possible that the Radical leaders could be
ignorant OF this, and hence it follows that
even their wretched pretext of making
treason odious" falls to the ground.
