Phelps, one of the pioneers of Life Insurance in this country, died at Hartford,Conn.. on the 18th inst., at the honorable old ago of 67 years. Descended from one of the early Conneeticu t settlers, and having a remote and respectable English ancestry, Dr. Phelps was born in 1802, .nil was identified with the progress of American ideas. He graduated at Yale In 1826, com menced the practice of medicine in New York, and subsequently returned to Sims bury, his native town, to recuperate his failing health while continuing to pursue his profession. Having been induced when in a state of debility to insure his life, in 1846, be was led to Investigate the subject of Life Insurance, then comparatively little Known In this country, and still less appreciated by the American people. It occurred to him that the United States, with its largely increasing population, presented a wide field. and promised a progressive future, for this business. In the same year he applied to be Legislature of Connecticut for the charter of 3 company, to which he gave the feature and the • itie of a Matsu! Assurance Association. This was in accordance with his studies upon the ne • eessities of Assurance enterprises in America. rho Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Com pany. in December, 1846, started on its notably -uecessfal career. The distinguishing feature of the Association, and that which has teen one of the chief causes of its popularity, has been the return dividend system in ontradistincuon to the reversionary plan. Dr. Phelps was the first to conceive the present plan of allowing the insured to anticipate thepro -nmed surplus by an increased insurance from .be commencement. Other ideas on the business, imthered by him during an extended tour in En ,ope, in which he especially examined the As surance Companies of the old world, were placed a the service of the Association. which owes so much of its progress to his watchfulness and wisdom. His powers of mind, strong will, and he fruits of his liberal education, have nourished pioneer institution during more than twenty sears, and placed the Connecticut Mutual among •he foremost and most successful of American Coin prinks. [From the Totette Blade.) NAttLlll. 11r, Nasby Goes to Connecticut to As sist One of A. Johnson's Especial friends, viz., Dixon He Essays a Speech, of Which Only a Small Yor lion is Delivered. Ci'FRDRiT X Rom's, (wick is in the state of Kentucky ),March 9.—The Noo Hampsheer eleck shun bez gone agin us. I hed hoped that the -sober second thought" uv the people nv that state wood bring about a change. but it didn't. That "sober second thought" won't do to depend onto. The genooine Dicnocrat hez no sober thought. nor no second one. The sober man who thinks twice alluz hez a most unaccount able habit of voting with the Ablisbnists. To Connecticut now we turn our hopeful eyes. In Connecticut there is still potency in our old watch- word, "Anneriky for white men ?" and the troo Connecticut Dimocrat still shudders when you demand uv him sternly, "Do you want to marry a nigger ?- Then its proximity to Noo York is a pint in our favor, for its cheaper to transport voters from that city than to any other State except Noo Jersey. To yoose a military phrase, wicb I learned when I wuz is servia in the Looezeaner Pelikins, Connecticut Is near our base uv supplies. It's too expensive to do it In Pennsylvany and we abet never try that State Lien. A. Johnson desired me to go to Connecticut to assist Dixon, and I spent one day at that biznis. Johnson loves Dixon, and is pertikelerly anxshus that be shel be in the mouse when he gits back into the Senit. "Then," sed he, "there'll be two uv us." I made my way to a rooral town in his Deestrik. and arranged for a meetin to address. Tber wuz a goodly attendance, and I congratu latid myself upon a pleasant and profitable season. Strikin an attitood I commenced by remarktn that the eyes uv the country wuz jist at this time a restln onto the first deestrik nv Connecticut, and that the country spectid the eleckahun nv that noble patriot James Dixon. I perposed to examine breefly the record nv the man for whom 1 solissitid their votes. At this pint the cheerman nv the meeting pulled nay coat tale vilently. "Well!" said I, angrily, for I was gittin on a most elokent sweat, and when I get to perspirin oratokically I don't like to be interruptid. "vat's the matter?" "Don't menshnn his record," whispered he into my left ear. "We dodge that!" "But before I 'enter upon that," said I, Odin off tiv that sunken rock, "I libel say a few words regardin the monstrous proposition to force nig ger suffrage onto Connecticut. Do yoo—" Agin my coat tale was pulled, and another ner vous whisper. "Don't menshun suffrage—he voted for it twice. We dodge that." "Doo yoo desire," resoomed I, somewhat stag gered, for nigger suffrage is my best holt, and when deprived nv it I am at sea without chart or compass. "Do yoo desire the old narrer ideas of the silk stockened Whig—" "For the Lord's sake, don't," wuz the next whisper. . "Dixon wuz a Whig. We dodge that. "That is--wichis"—l struck out wildly—"do yoo desire to have the heresies nv that impracti cable Abolitionist, Charles Sumner—" I sposed nv 'course this wits safe. Its alluz proodent to abooze Sumner in a Dimocratic meetin, and Mt en I hey nothin else to say I alluz do It with the H appiest results. Bat there come . a mity pull an -another whisper the mini, the name was monaku)icd. "Don't say nothin about Sumner—Dixon car ries a recommendatory letter from him in his pocket. We dodge that." Dazed and demoralized I commenced again. "My friends, yoo are askt by the Ablishn candl date to vote with a party which only a few years ago in their midnito lodges wood hey denied the liberty-loving emigrant the bal—" "Good Lord, man," whispered the caned chairman, pullin my coat-tail till the stitches JOHN RODGERS, Bec'y PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1869. yawned; "don't you know that Dixon wnz a Know Knothing? We dodge that." Not knowin precisely was to do, and feelin very much in the condishn nv a man after a hard nite's drinkin, I made another dive: "Fellow citizens, the question for us to con sider to-nite is, steel we be taxed to pay an un constitooshnel debt, made by an un—" That wuz ez far ez I got. Agin that pall— agin that infernal whisper : "Don't say anything aginst payin the debt. Some of our democrisy hold bonds. We dodge that." "D— yoor Democrisy !" ejackilated I, angrily. "D--- a denfocrisy which holds bonds. They must live in Eeckehnns where the Maine ticker law is enforced. abet I argoo in favor of paying the bonds ?" "No—don't. A portion uv our vote is agin it. We dodge that." Feelin that there wuz one pint onto wich I cood talk safely, I commenced once more: "The Republikin party, headed by that bloo hoted butcher, Grant"—resoomed .1, feelin that that must be safe. Vain hope! Skasely wuz the words out uv my mouth, when that cussid pull occurred agin: "Tech em litely. Dixon Is sleepin with Re publikins, and hez called upon Grant. We dodge that." This wnz the last feather wich broke the camel's back. "Wat Is ther yoo don't dodge? • VVat—butgo to thunder and make the speech yoorself," ejaki lately I indignantly, stawkin off the platform. "I hey wrencht myself fearfully at times, and am ekal to almost any emergency; but, ivittiont preparaehun, long and painful, I epn't make a speech in the interest nv a genius who bee belonged to every party wich bee flourislit sense he wuz a boy, and who is spectin votes from all nv them. I might abooze Sumner in one place and praise him in another; but I can't do both to wunet. That's a persimmon above me. I hey made a speech in the afternoon in tutor nv free trade in Noo York, and the same evenin advocated a high protective tariff in Penn ylvany, but don't ask me to do such things in ;he same hall to the same awdjence! Faugh! Its too much for even a Kentucky Dimocrat." And I left in disgust. He ought to be elected, cud without any nv my help, for of there's a man in Connecticut who can't thud suthin in his re cord to soot him, he must be a stagier bein. PETROLEUM V. NASBY, P. M., (With is Postmaster.) CRIME. TUE IZEVOLT AT SING SING. The Convicts AU Recaptured—One of them Wantonly Shot—condition of the Wounded. Saco Saco, Friday, March 19, 1869.—A fnlldo scription was given of the gagging of two keepers .n Sing Sing Prison yesterday, including an ac count of the death of one of them and the escape of five convicts, named Charles Lockwood, alias Henry °Mel, George Lowden, alias Decker, John Burns, Henry Muller and John Muirey, who perpetrated the outrage. Details were given of the capture of Burns and Muller in the afternoon, end the announcement was made that O'Neil had .iso been taken at a later hour, and remained at Tarrytown badly wounded. Between three and :our o'clock this morning, Constable J. Law rence, of Tarrytown, assisted by Archibald Bushell, of that village, effected the capture of he remaining two—Lowden and Mnlrey—on the turnpike below Tarrytown, while they were hastening toward New York. They had been for hours lying in wait for them, and as the moon ilsappeared, were gratified. Rushing from the -ide of the road, they, with the naval expletives, ordered them to surrender. Bushell collared Lowden and heltra pistol to his nose. On being :old to throw up his hands, he did so, and the wo walked along the road in the wake of Lawrence, who was giving chase to &Whey. The latter finally ran through a garden gate and turned upon Lawrence, who was near at hand. Lawrence ordered him, with a few vigorous oaths, to throw his arms up, or he would shoot him. Mulrey complied, and Lawrence shouted to Bushell to hasten with his prisoner. When he arrived the two runaways were linked together with handcuffs. and the capture was consummated. Both were painfully ,urprised on bearing of the death of the keeper craft, and Mulrey said that he would have risked his own life rather than that harm should have reached him. The expressed desire of both, as it had been of Muller and Burns, was simply to -hence him till they could escape. O'Neil had accompanied Muller and Burns, and hidden in the barn of Mr. Jacob Storms, with them. He also lay under the hay when they were discovered there, but his presence was not known. dome time after the two prisoners and their cap tors had dep , rted, Mr. Storms returned. ONeil, thinking that his fellow-fugitives had informed open him, and fearing violence it taken hy a prison guard, emerged from the bay in his shirt and gave himself np. - Elie coat and pantaloons, which had been wet in the river and were uncomfortable, he had laid on the hay, to create an impression that he had left the premises. Shortly after his sur render, Charles Sullivan. a prison guard, and a Stir. Williamson, of Tarrytown, approached hastily. According to the statement of Mr. Storme, received through our informant, Sulli van was much excited, and said, on coming to ' the spot, you, I'll shoot you " brew up both hands instantly and cried, -For God's sake, Charley, don't shoot me!" • Yes, I will," retorted Sullivan, and fired into the prisoner's stomach. O'Neil staggered it'd sank to his knees, when Sullivan kicked him in the neck and side, saying, " you, put on your clothes." "Oh, Charley," said O'Neil, " this will kill my poor mother.' Desperately hurt, he fell groaning to the floor, and was car ried to Tarrytown. Mr. Storms, according to our informant, was highly indignant at the con duct of Sullivan, and authorized the former to express his sentiments publicly, offering at the same time to make afhdavirto all the particu lars above stated. The excuse of Sulli van was that he understood that one of the run aways had a revolver, and seeing O'Neil hide one hand behind him, thought he held it, and fired in self-defence. Mr. Storms denied this, and said that both O'Neil's hands were elevated. The sufferer was taken to the prison early this morn ing. He was not expected to live, and received the visit of a priest. His agony was great, but he appeared to improve this afternoon, and a recovery was thought possible. Nona of the prisoners bad weapons except Lowden, and his was a pen-knife.—N. Y. Times. TRAGEDY IN HANOVER, PA Suicide of a Citizen. We learn from tile. Hanover (York county) Citizen that Mr. H. W. Kohler, an esteemed and highly respectable citizen of that place, in his twenty-sixth year, committed suicide. He resided with his parents, and being en gaged as agent for some sewing machine manufactory, his absence from home was frequent. On Frldity afternoon last he was last seen in the entry going upstairs. trot being with the family in the evening, it was supposed that he bad gone to some of his numerous friends in and around this place. His con tinued absence on the day following, Sa turday, created considerable apprehension and uneasiness to his parents and family, but tint thinking of anything wrong, they came to the conclusion that be might have gone away on his agency business without telling the family, although unusual in his previous conduct towards the family. His continued absence on Sunday morning, and the fact that his clothes he usually wore when going away were found in hie room, greeted the enspicien that something unusual had IMPpened with him. A general search was then instituted, and we are sorry to state ho was found hanging by a rope in the garret of the hotel, a corpse. No cause can be attribtited by any of OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. his friends for committine this act. His body was interred in Mount Olivet Cemetery, of that place, on Monday. niallroad Accident near Lancaster— \ One Minn &Lilted. The Lancaster Exprem of teat night says: An accident occurred uu the Pennsylvania Rail road a short distance east of Rohrerstown, four miles from Lancaster, about half-past one o'clock, this (Friday) afternoon, by which John Hershey, a much reepeeted citizen of this county, residing on the line of Leacock and Salisbury townships, lost his life. Mr. Hershey, who is an elder of the Mennonite Church, In company with Samuel Wenger, a neighbor, belonging to the same de nomination and a preacher among them, had beenskattending a meeting or conference of the society at Brubaker's Meeting House, half a mile north of Rohrerstown, this forenoon. They took dinner at the house of Tobias Miller, in the vicinity of the meeting house and immediately started - for home in their carriage. Upon reach ing the crossing of the railroad, a burden train was seen coming west, and the carriage was balled to allow it to pass. The two men then proceeded to drive across the track, when the carriage was at once struck ny the engine of the accommodation train coming east, which had not been seen from the carriage. The carriage was broken to pieces, and Mr. Hershey in stantly •killed. His companion, Mr. Wenger, was found upon the cow-catcher, when the train stopped, having been carried a hundred yards or more from the place of the collision. He was slightly cut and bruised, but received no serious injury. The horse, we understand, was not hurt, having passed the line of the track when the en gine struck the carriage. • Mr. Hershey, we are informed, was about fifty eight years old, and leaves a wife and' two chil dren. Mr. Wenger and the body of the deceased were brought to Lancaster on the train which caused the accident, and, we understand, will tie taken home this evening !Secretary , :ontwell Defines Ms Posi tion o Mellow:ice Question. The Wasbin_ on correspondent of the New York Tribune Biqa "The Ways and Means Committee to-day paid an official visit to the Secretary of the Treasury and President Grant. After the usual courtesies had been exchanged,Secretary Bontwell informed the Committee that from a casual re-exam ination of the department he had found affairs generally in a pretty good condition. He did not think he would require any additional financial legislation at pres ent. There was an abundance of money, and he indicated his determination not to keep a largo amount on hand, and that he would use the sur plus from time to time for the purchase and can cellation of bonds, claiming, at the same time, that there was ample authority, in his judgment, in the existing legislation to make such pur chase and cancellation. He stated also hat he was opposed to the secret sales of gold, and that whenever he had any for sale, it would be sold in open market, giving to everybody the same opportunities of buying. The committee expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the frank and business-like manger in which he purposes to conduct the affairs of the Department. it Is evident that the Wall street cliques and stock-jobbing speculators will not manipulate the Treasury, as has been the practice heretofore." Financial Condition of the Treasury The Washington correspondent of the N. Y• Times says : "The financial condition of the Treasury at the close of the present fiscal year will undoubtedly be much more favorable than was anticipated. This can be stated on semi-official authority. The receipts from Customs now promise to be the largest of any one year in the history of the Government. They will reach, without doubt, *190.000,000, or $2t10,000,000 In excess oft he esti mates, and it is not impossible that they may ev en reach the high figure of $250,000,000. The internal revenue receipts to the present time are in excess of ✓i+loo,ooo,ooo. The remaining three and a half months will cover the greater portion of the income tax, and the special taxes which fall due May 1, and which will augment the re ceipts to $150,000,000 and possibly to $160,0001 coo. This will be fully up to Commissioner Wells's estimate for the internal revenue, and if the latter figure is reached it will be considerably e xceeded. Address of the Insurgents to the Span. bards in Cuba.. The following is a translation from a proclama tion, addressed to the Spaniards residing in Cabo, issued in behalf of the revolutionary movement: To the. Spaniards residing in Cuba; Your own as well as our interests call for a conference and an un derstanding between us at a moment when the fortune wf arms is still pending upon this country which to us gave birth, and to von a hospitable reception. The servile instruments of a corrupt Government, and the numerous satellites interested In the existing order of things, endeavor, as the only means of prolonging tyranny, and continuing depredation, to sow hatred and malice in your hearts against the incipient task of our redemption. Afraid that you may discern calmly and see clearly into the depth et the grave question that moves us, they bandage your eyes to prevent your feelings, and ,fir up your enthusiasm to misguide it. Playing upon the tenser chords of your patriotism, they inspire you with a false notion that it is both a virtue and a duty to devo•e your blood and fortunes to maintain a cause Lot your own or that of Spain, but which is only be longing to a swarm of immoral and greedy officials, who,ttu-ough the length and breadth of the laud,weigh eavily upon the people, whom they impoverish and fleece, and drain to the very dregs of their sufferings. They make you believe that this war is the war of tau ten ; they tell you that hatred of you has inspired it; dud they will persuade you that your special interests and the honor of Spain call upon you to risk, your lives and kill your brethren. They repeat continually that the triumph of the revolution wounds the honor of the Spanish nation; that it will deprive you of your properties, and expel you from a country overthrown by destruction and ruin. Spaniards! do not listen to those deceitful words. Remove from your sight a picture glowing with per fidious tints; bo not deceived by those vain and pomp ous deciaratione; be not scared by those lugubrious and causeless prophecies The noble ambition, the heroic attitude of a people which fulfills its destiny and rises in arms to break the chains that fetter it for three centuries, its determination, its sacritices, the certainty of an early and nndoubted triumph widen will be consummated for its welfare, entail neither shame nor disgrace nor reproach on the old colors that float over the castle and forts of the island. The honor of nations depends not on,the auccese of battles, nor are their colors glorified or dishonored by the chances of war. If it were so, which of the nations of the earth could show immaculate banners? That which affects, which impairs honor, which stains the atfit, is the streamer that hides in its folds despotism, oppression, and tyranny. spaniarde in speaking the language of truth we have fulfilled our indispensable duty. To-day, you may give your aid to despotiem,bnt do not, to-morrow, impute the consequent evils to others; yours will be the guilt, if you turn your arms against the country that gave birth to us, hospitality to you—if you reject the friendly hand which is tendered to you, in the name of all Cubans, by yours, Tea WBBTEILN DEPLIITMENT.

She is Bald to have achieved groat triumphs In this branch of histrionic art; and we have the loss reason to doubt this as part of her success may be attrl bated to the specialty, or, if you like, curiosity, connected with her appearance in such parts.
