PIaHIS Society, which confines it's bust
"a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
OF persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate TO provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suffi-

which Rever>ionary Bonuses, averaging
p per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 81 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part OF
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhahiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as arc charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows

Remarkable Prediction.

One of our cotemporaries raEes up the fol"
lowing from the dusty closet of the past, which
is a remarkable prediction, and one as truly
in danger ofbeingyerifed, as history furnishes
no parallel. The Raleigh Standard. of the
goth of April, 1850, contains the following
editorial. headed ''CufFee, Cotton and CoDsti-
tution," in which is quoted this paragraph {:
The New Orleans Crescent, speaking of
'Three Southern Institutions" says:
ut is worthy paragraph to re>announce
the fact that three very important Southern
institutions were simultaneously inaueurated
two hundred years ago if Bancroft, the his.
tOrian, be authority on the subj ect. In the
years l62O-2l, slaves, not cotton, we're first
introduced into the colony of Virginia in
1921 the first written coleman constitution
was ordained and established in Virginia
The Mr.. Holden of til at date then saws:
''Itisindeed remarkable coincidence. that
the establishment OF these three .institutioDs"
slavery, the cotton trade, and constitutional
statute-the very basis of the national pros
perity of the South, should have such ckron-
illogical Identity. And we predict that as
they were born together so they will die. if
die they ever do. The slave labor institu-
ton will go as it came, a few months iu ad,
vance. and the crash of State Constitutions
OF laws and statutes, will follow quickly hand
in hand with the downfall of the cotton and
other agricultural and commercial interests.
introducing the nation to an era of anarchy.
of individual, social and political distresscs.
The fact of mutual dependence, however,
but increases the stability of the whole. and
though it would render their destruction a
more disastrous tOtality, it at the same time
removes all danger of such occurrence"

Anxiety Among Capi,

The New York HeraId confesses thattI
is much anxiety among the money-dea
the gold room touching the action of
gress on impeachment, reconstruction
the finances. That paper essays to oil snI
the fears of these persons, but awkwardi
mixes up with its arguments to show tbs,
there will be no disturbance by the action Of
Congress, the remark that "Ihe property of
Mts country rs subjected to a forced Iery Of
tee hundred mjltjons Of dollars. crcEusire Of
State and municipal tores Twenty wears
Of such taxation would be equal to the whole
OF the property of the country at the present
time" This is not calculsted very much to
al!ay the excitemen; of the bulls and bears.
1t Is with reference to this enormous taxation
that the Democratic party in Maine demands
that third of the property of the country
the national bonds-now exempt from taxa
ton, shall bear part of the burthen ON ac.
count of the public debt Whether Congress
meets this issue or not, sooner or later it must
be met aud settled.

nent to a prOdigiOus extent aud established
kis dynasty. He could have controlled old
aud New England. On the other hand, the
influx of French articles of use and comfort
into the South would have reached and crossed
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and the great
populations Of the Northwest would have
yielded their Southern antipathies to the
splendid emancipation of their own fortunes
from the tariff robberies of the Yankee fac
tories.
OF these great views, as sublime as they
are obvious, Mr.. Davis was no more capable
than he was of realizing the nature of his
struggle, or of knowing how to choose his
civil and military chiefs. The cause was lost
because he dwelt on thesuperfcial ideas that
he required the corporation of France and
England; that his de tncto condition entitled
him to recognition; that England would fol-
low precedent even against her interest that
England had an interest for recognition to get
rid of Yankee tariffs, and to procure Southern
cotton. Like the Northern States, England
was governed by Exeter Hall and her antipa-
thy to shareholders, and she was deaf to all
else. France was doing what the Emperor
has done SO often, losing her golden .opportu>
nifty, because he never had anybody to tell
him about the cotton monopoly and its ef.
fects.
Some Southern men, no doubt, saw these
things; and long before Jefferson Davis
time was half out, he was virtually depOsed

port was given, and who could not find a cab

That will be the verdict of this year or the
next, tor all time to come. The falling away
OF the South from its own cause, was loei-
cal consequence of the poor ideas and shallow
administration of leaders not equal to the
mighty struggle.

About General Grant.

Talking yesterday with an ex- Con nfederate
General tJohn T. Morgan, a cousin of the
famous Kentucky raider,) on the subject of
West Point, and the number of its officers
who "went with the South" during the late
war, learned something about General G. rant
that Is worth relating Soon after the out
break of the war number of rebel officers.
OF whom my informant was one, was discuss
ing the relative merits of Northern and South
ern officers, and was coDgrarulatiug them
selves that the best of the old West Pointers
had joined the Southern cause. After the
names Of several of those likely to prove the
best generals in the North had been mem
toned, General Ewell, who was one of the
party, spoke up aud said there was one man
living in Illinois or Missouri about whom the
Northern people knew very little Cthis was
some time before the battle of Fort DonelsonN
He hoped they would not find him out. He
(Ewell) had served with him in California
and on the frontier, and he feared him in the
present war more than he feared any other
officer if he once got started. His name was
Grant. He had seen enough of him to know
that if he got fair chance he would strike
some heavy blows. He did not believe there
was much genius in the fellow; but give him
men enough, and he'd keep pounding at a
place until he took it. He believed the South
had more to fear from the stubbornness and
dogged Obstinacy of this fellow, if. he ever got
chance to show himself. than from the ge-
MUS or ability of any officer in the army
This was Ewell's opinion of Grant while the
latter was commanding a regiment under Ere
mont in Missouri !. and do not think Ewell
knew that he had got even that high in the
military scale when he expressed himself as
