ELEVEN MONTHS WoRK.-I'o obtain
from Congress a charter enabling an associ-
alton of fnanciers 10 transast business In
every State Of the Union; to organize com
pany under such a charter; to open q main
office and install staff of officers therein; 10
select leading financiers and business men
as general agents for transacting the busi-
ness OF the Company in the several sections
of the country; TO have these general agents
so carefully examine their respective dis
tricts as to select the most efficient and re
spected men as county agents; to have these
county agents, in turn, make iudicinus Sc
| lection OF local agents in cities, towns, and
villages; to prepare the multiplicity OF
blanks, forms, orders, instructions, pamph-
let's and other documents with which TO
supply all these agencies; to inform the pub
| lie, through the medium Of the newspaper
press, of the existence of such an organiza-
ton, the financial basis upon which it rests,
and the groundwork OF its claims to public
approval and support; these things would
seem to be sufficient to occupy the first
twelve months of such an organization,
leaving TO subsequent years the accomplish
ment OF actual results. But we find noia
BILE exception 10 such course in the case of
OF the National Life Insurance Company ol
America, chartered by Congress in July,
1868, and consequently not yet one year old.
Ithas had all OF the above mentioned work
10 do, and ii is but rational that, In doing
this, it should have met with the opposition
OF old established insurance companies. But
the new Company has done far more. In
deed, its successful record, for the first
eleven months of its operation, has been
most remarkable, and utterly unprecedent

year Of its existence, and nearly double tha
ever insured by any other company in lh'
! world, during its entire first year. Ate
such an authenticated statement, there car
be no doubt what the investing public think

prieyed, cherished the real or supposed m
jury, aud Yesterday, in company with his
son, met Mr.. Benton in a retired place in
the town ol Springfield, when and where the
terrible death ensued No other but the
three parties named were Immediately pre-
sent. Several shots were fired, which at
tracied others to the spot and Benton was
found on the ground, his body pierced with
some half dozen bullets. He died almost in
stantly. The Simpsons were taken into GUS
tody, and will stand an examination. Mr..
Benton was a well known and highly re-
speeted lawyer and citizen. He several years
ago represented Robertson county in the
Slate Legislature, and was esteemed for his
many excellent qualities. He left young
