Beenuse he is endorsed by leadingb««H- nees men and the press, and particularly Where best known. V Because his is the oldest agency in the count v. 8. Because he represents the best line of companies of anv agency in the county 4.- Keen use. with one exception, he re pre % sents the oldest companies in the Uuited States. 6. Because in case of loss he gives his pat», rons the benefit of his long experience in se* enringan equitable adjustment. 6. Because he has always issued full poll., etes 7. Because he pavs losses on farm property by lightning, whether lire ensues or not. tL Because he Insures live stork anywhere against lightning. , 9. Because he insures against tornadoes, cyclones and wind storms. * 10. Because you can thus save yourself from disasiei foY a mere trifle. * -il. Because you will find him equally ns. active to aid you in getting your money arte# Toss as to'secure your patronage for his com: panies. 18.

Few jenernh In (He Union army ac­ complished as much in 1862-3 towards putting down the rebellion without fighting great battles, as tUd General Butler. • Anil the joint services of thr army nmlnavy in the Gulf Department cannot be ovcr-estimated for good. Many Ctiioti en^n^enients were foiijfht that in a war of vast propor­ tions, and scientific battles, appear as trivial affaire, yet good ftoMiers will bear me witness that to the men actti Ally under Are, It matters very Utile vvhether the forces in contact ar«: a few score, a few hundred, or many thous­ and, the soldierly bear!tig essential to success is the same. And a;noug all the many requirement* and emergen cies that the volunteer soldier had to meet. The bat lie lie Id was not the most to be dreaded. Malaria, poor food, lack of shelter from storm, extreme hot and extreme wet weather, 'severally and collectively wasted our ranksmore than the bullets and 6teel of the foe. A sen­ tinel complains of a pain. Is relieved, and in a few hours is dead. Prostration by sunstroke frequently occurred as lare as 6 p. m. Some of th»*se died at once, many lingered for month* suffer­ ing untold misery, and some lost their power of speech. Ma:iy indeed were the causes Hi it hurried brave men to the unseen shore. Many citizen* had been rtrlvfcn by the Confederates from their homes, and had fled lo neighboring swamps. Their solitary graves, christened by the tears of weeping wives and children, denote a sacrifice almost as cruel as when, in days of old, mot hers cast their childreu to the Gauges. The Mississippi river was estimated by the people lo be the best and most wholesome water nvallalle near New Orleans; and considered as such WHS eagerly used by soldiers and children, yet dead men, dead animals and tilth of every name and degree could always be seen gliding along on the swift waters of the sea. Occasionally a corpse Boating te shore would be*hauled in, ami a farce of an Inquest held. For six months I drank neither tea norcoflee, and inr canteen Was supplied wltii river water, aiul well J remember Obetter thaw f wleli I try soldier-killing morning, I Ailed my canteen with the river watsr, drank and refllled aud drank sgain, bathed my head, washed a garment or two, and then turning to go (for the blast ot our bugle uinst be heeded) "Ureal heaven! about 30 icet up tho stream, parity lit«lde» by a bush, was a dead mati. Iih body about half eaten up by cat-Ash. The dead man's wrist was tied to a willow root. I was sick, and uover again tasted of that water. Among I he prisoners we had to deal with was one supposed to be a spy. lie claimed to be a Frenchman, and was at best a grizzly and forsaken old sinner. He expected to be executed at au early day. I was one day on guard near Ills 'quarters, when he attempted to force iiis way out. I knocked him down, and expected lo be obliged to kill him, aud dreading such a necessity I actually connled the moments intervening be­ fore the time for the next relief. I •much preferred • that some - one fllse would attend to his case; yet I lino1 re­ solved, should lie make another break, to kill hi in at once, aud told him so. Suddenly an iimnciise wharf rat, nealTy as large as a cat, went inside the tent, and >ifter an exciting struggle became the Frenchman's meat. That rat was cooked without tlie usual American ceremonies--or culiinary conveniences --an;l I truly beiieve that oue of the happiest and best nattired ineu In the Gulf Department was the spy, who could almost see his waiting grave. Gen. Butler was relieved hy General Banks in the spring of'63. The change created dissatisfaction in every branch of the service. Many officers of New England troops resigned, and never after re-entered the army. The feel­ ing was not so much a disparagmeut of the ability of Banks as that Butler's recall was entirely unnece.ssary, and, as rumor had it, Was a show of the white feather at the roar of the British Lion. This was too humiliating for the boys, and tho Americau eaglej'tlapped his wings. M. M, G. UORD6N AND THK SPY. Why UM confederates Faltad t« Kaeeata the Yankee. from the Sing Stnff Chronicle, July UL General John B. Gordon, ot the late Confederate Array, is reported as say­ ing "that on a certain occasion he cap­ tured a Yankee spy in his lines, and, though the proof of Ids nefarious busi­ ness was complete, he did not hang him. He humanely kept him until he was recaptured by his Union friends.'* Let ns have * Utile of M»e truth of history, which may slightly chinge the status of General Gordon aud his al­ leged considerate treatment of "a Yai.kee spy." The editor of the Chron icle happens to be very familiar with that Utile event. A man named Sher­ man lived before the war broke out some five or six miles south of Lees- burg on the Leesbnrg pike. lie came originally from the aeigbborliooij cf Poiiglikeepsie in this State. He wa» loyal from the outbreak of the rebel­ lion, and many and niany*a time as a scout piloted the commander ef Scott's 900 through the intricacies of Virginia lanes and highways--generally uioie lanes than highways. In one of his ventures, seeking for in­ formation as to the whereabouts and purposes of the Confederates Sherman was captured by a detachment of Gor­ don's command and sent tofRichmnnd, where he was tried as n spy. and sen­ tenced to be hanged--the time of his execution, however, for some yet unex­ plained reason being extended beyond |he usual limits. When the news of the capture, and condemnation of Sherman reached Washington, t hrough Colonel Mill ford, thee In charge of the flag of truce on the James Iliver, General Wadsivortli ordered the editor of the Chronicle, with such force as he might have in camp, to raid Lecaburg and make re­ prisals. A willing heart made such duty a labor of love, for I had known Sher­ man well, and had learned to appre­ ciate the patriotism which had kept him loyal to thfc Unioa when nil around him were only traitors. It was a tight forty miles' ride, boot­ ed find spurred, before we reached the whereabouts when it became practica­ ble to execute the orders of the Com- tnauder of the Department of Wash­ ington. When the morning sun rose (our order for reprisals came just as it was setting the day previous) it saw us on our successful rot urn through the pickets of the rebels, having In custody the County Judge aud Sheriff of Lou­ don County aud the principal of a high school at Leesbnrg. all pronounced secessionists. In accordance with orders they were pnt in the Old Capital Prison, subject to the same treatment to which Sherman had been subjected In Richmond. General Wadsworth at once tele­ graphed to tfulford the arrest of the Leesburg trio, with the distinct state­ ment that If Sherman was hanged or shot, oue of that trio would be hanged or shot--the choice by lot determining which it should be. The end was that Sherman came back to my camp by the first flag of truce, and 1 had the pleas­ ant satisfaction of restoring my three captives to their families. In that game of war we held not only the right and left bower, but the 'little joker"as well. That was why Gordon did not bang the Yankee spy. A Yankee, and t very .dettri for a tooth, with a margtn of play on. LOGAN TO MS QMRMMfti His Speech to the Grand Irajr mt the Kepnblle mt Denver. Following Is a correct report of the speech made by Seiiator Logan before the Grand Army of the Republic, at its recent reunion at Denver: COMMANDER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COLORADO: In response to your very flattering welcome to the representa­ tives of the Grand Army-of the Repub lie from ttie various States ami Terri­ tories of the Union, I am directed to say for them that the kindly greeting which tliev have received and the mag­ nificent preparations for their comfort ar.d pleasure will ever find a grateful place in their hearts aud' a green and living «pot in their memories. Sir. tlie selection for this meeting in Denver, the young end beautiful city of the plains, the capital of one of the growing States of the West, was fortu­ nate in a double aspecr. 1. Jt gave an opportunity to a yast number of appreciative men to v|sit a part of ottr countrv which perhaps many would never otherwise have see;» and lo meet many of llieir comrades who came hero soon after I he war to assist in unlocking the hidden treasures of nature, in doing which they have performed another great service to their country by aiding to make speck* basis for onr credit a reality. 2. It gives to Colorado many thous­ and triemls Who must return to their homes in the KaM with the truthful story on their lips of your growth, your wealth, your vast resources, your mar Ions engi neeri ng au d const met ion of railroads over the mountains, your patriotism, generosity, and last, but not least, your line schools, aud tho general intelligence of the peo) le. Sir. I he representatives of the Grand Army of tlie Republic are proud of such a host. And, Mr, Commander, who are your guests? Not a rabble of mercena­ ries who risked their lives for gain aud plunder, but a part of.the best blood of the land, whose patriotism aud intelli­ gence are not to be measured by the amassing of colossal fortunes out of the blood of others but by deeds showing intelligence, patriot ism and heroism combined. These, sir, are the repre­ sentatives of that body of men whose stalwart arms stretched forth and steadied the rocking pillars of the great Republic. These are the representa­ tives of tlie men who. when they first heard the rumblings of discontent, quietly listened for the thumlerings from the "first war" cloud, and. when It btoke forth in sullen tones, left the plow in the furrow, the plane aud the bench, the hamni"r and the anvil, the scythe aud the swath, the garden and the dairy, the flock on the hill aud the herd In the valley, their stores closed, tiieir clerk's desks iiusuppiled. their cases in court unargued, their sick in the hands of nurses, their Bibles closed on their stands the pulpit vacant. With one embrace fort lie wife, a kiss for the little darling, a loving glance ut the sweetheart, and a farewell for all, they came forth with the patriotic declaration, **My life belongs to my country.** They. sir. after years of great hard­ ships. fro in the h»nl fooftit fields where comrades felt and tines tUelled away like snowflakes in tl|« throat of a volcano, returned to th»lr homes with "one flag, one country and liberty for all." aud are now your guests, and with the Union, and as plains of hraveit 1|| the glory of God, blue ground on the ed up the pathway justice between man races and colors. I sincerely hope, *l«\ tl your midst may be one of pleasant reeolleclion to and prove a source of equal the visitors. When we State, sir, for our homes. WO ' with our hearts full of your people, and .with a ferv*! that your proudest anticipant the future of your State may I grand and glorious realities. General Logan's speech was greeted with great enthusiasm, cheer* round­ ing almost every sentence. As he cofr> eluded Judge Sytnes arose to a^jnnra the meeting, but before he bait uttered a word a veteran near by. In a loml voice cheered General Logan as "the next President of tlie United States.** The immense gathering caught It up and repeated It times without number, and then only ceased from exhaustion. The meeting was finally a.ljonrned and the veterans dispersed to prepare lor the parade.
