The North American Inzuraoco Company.
Daring the last two or three years this old
and well known compary have been extending
their bnisness in the interior of -the State of
Pennsylvania, and have already laid a good
foundation for fire and inland business through
out the Commonwealth. y
Inoorporated as they were,in the year 1794,
by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, and up to
the year 1862, having agencies only in two or
three prominent points in the ;State, their claims
for business throughout the locate whence their
authority came, seem well fc utided, and hence,
tome three years since, they dstablishod a cen
tral State agency at the seat Government, i
through which their agency bnSiriOsa is trans
acted and where policies are issued.
Since the organization of this cothpany in
1792, now over seventy years, their success has
been very marked, having now a capital and
surplus of over.§l,ooo,ooo, and. during which
time they have paid losses amounting to over
% seventeen millions of dollars.
In Philadelphia, where the, management of
this company is best known, it enjoys, a well
deserved popularity, as the result of long tried
faithful services, and large liberality in the
adjustment of Josses ; the officers, Artfauf G.
Coffin, Esq., President, and Chafes Platt, Esq.,
Secretary, as welljas the board of ‘directors,
' being ' well and familiarily Anown, some of
| whom have given their service! tr> the corpora
' turn for over forty years. ■ ’
The State agent of the Inso lance , Company
of North Ameiica, Mr.'Willie in Buehler, gives
his whole time to the details o' these- agenoies
throughont Pennsylvania, and-to whom appii
oations for new agencies ahowid be addressed.
In this community Mr. Baehjtr does not need
newspaper endorsment. Resp Toted forhis strict
integrity, and known as a frlthful and inde
fatigable business man, to hiCconneetion with
the Insurance Company of N irth America, as
the reputation of that ’ corpt ration, must we
attribute Unpopularity outside of Philadelphia.

.The explrte of bullion fromtUalifornia during
the year 1864 will prove to 'bt larger than those
of any former year. Up to iie let of Decem
ber they amounted in round'-cumbers to fifty
two millions of dollars,and by lie end of the year
will reach about fifty-six miljlpa. The largeest
portion of this has gone to England by way of
Panama and Aspinwall: but .fifteen to twenty
millions have been sent to .New York, apd
probably four or five miliums to China and
other countries. The increase of the total ex\
ports, over that of 1863 jprill be about twelve
millions.' The productions of the precious
metala in other parts of the United States can
not be estimated with any bfcree of accuracy.
Bnt, as some portion of the SfllrFranoiseo ship
ments is from British Columbia it may be not
far from a correct estimate td say that the net
jjrdSuct of the mines of the .precious metals in
the United States, during the year 1864, was
about sixty millions; Colorado, Idaho and the
Lake Superior and other,} gold producing
regions have not been beard 1 from, bnt they
would more than offset the gold that
is included in the San Franstaco exports. Sixty
millions per annum is a hahdsdmo earn in gold
and silver ; but we doubt .whether tho coal,,

year 1864, will not turn out to have been quite

THE AGITATOR.
M. H. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
WEDNESDAY,
Editorial Correspondence of The Agitator]
Washington, Jan. 16, 1865.
Sunday being a most charming day, in com
pany with Lieut. Rockwell I visited Finley and
Campbell Hospitals. At Finley we found
Thomas Skelton, of Delmor, who was wound
ed: in tho Wilderness fights last May, and whose
case I have mentioned heretofore in this cor
respondence. His case at present shows what
indomitable pluck, joined with a vigorous
constitution and rational medical treatment
can accomplish. A musket ball shattered the
elbow of the right arm; some, days subsequent
ly the elbow joint was removed—a delicate
operation, and os it. turns out, worse than
arripiitatiOD. The arm nearly healed, exter
nally, last summer, bat finally broke out
with a malignancy which showed that the en
tire bone of-the upper arm was seriously dis
eased, This is hie case as it stands to-day.—
There are issues from the elbow up, to the
shoulder. The surgeons conclude that the bone
may possibly slough outj; but it is not at all
improbable that amputation will have to be
resorted to. We found Thomas as calm and
collected as if he had been there but eight
days instead of as many months. For eight
long months has this young man laid upon
his back in ward 2of Finley Hospital;, not
having sustained even a sitting posture for two
hours, I suppose, during that period. There is
an example of patience for us all.
We found, also, John French, of the 16th
Pa. Cavalry, formerly of Middlebury. He has
ohronio bronchitis, and though not in'danger,
will probably never go into active service again.
He is on duty as nurse.
And finally, and'greatly to onr pleasure,
we found Dr. Wu. B. Rich, of Knoxville,
who has charge of Ward 1 of Finley. The
Doctor is looking extremely well, and is a
great favorite with the patients in bis ward.—
He exhibits great interest in the men, which is
always a first-rate sign in a surgeon.
Finley is one of. the best ordered hospitals
in this city,ior in any other city, and the offi
cials, from Dr. Panooast, Surgeon in Charge to
the ward-masters, are - fully awake to the im
portance of cheerful and cleanly habits.
From Finley we struck across the country
to Campbell hospital, near the Park on 7th
Street. Here we found Frank Kelley, of
Charleston, a mere boy, wounded -at Goal Har
bor, I - think, and still suffering from bis wound.
He was wounded in the right leg. 1 For months
the surgeons despaired of his recovery; and
it is only a few weskjs since he began to mend.
I think bo will get home “ to eat maple sugar,”
a consummation he most devoutly longs for.—
Poor fellow 1 his boyish face still pictures itself
before mo as I write, and I am lost in wonder
that one so tender could have endured so mnoh
without damaging bis plnsk.
We also found Morgan Burley, also, of
Charleston, who has lost the right leg below
the knee. He was contemplating a mountain
ous dinner, and when asked if he could eat all
that, replied with a laugh— 11 Yes, as much
again 1” His wound is not entirely hsslsd yet,
but I believe he will get his discharge during
this week and be off for home.
James Wilkinson, of Middlebury, is still at
Judiciary Square Hospital, though able to
leave for home, physically. He ha* not yet
succeeded in getting bis descriptive list. I trust
this difficulty will be overcome in a few days,
so that ha can go to his friends.
The hospitals are not crowded, as they were
last June—the date of our last 'previous gen
eral visit. The cool weather has stimulated
convalescence, and bnt few of ibe cases re
maining are bad. The boys seem to he in ex
cellent spirits and 1 cheerfulness is not less a
curative than a condiment.
The weather is much like bright October
days with you. M. H. 0.
I suppose tbit nobody who has arrived at
the years of discretion is unacquainted with
the legend of the “ Sensitive Plant;" The phe
nomena of the last two days, as witnessed
from this point indicate gold as the rival of
the delicately organized vegetable alluded to.—
When • the fact that Mr. Blair had returned
from Richmond, became known, and rumor
bad it that an early peaeo was probable, gold
went down by. the run from 224 to 216. Later
came the news that the attack on Wilmington
was renewed by sea and by land, the “ bulls”
roared,with pain, and the “bears” langbed
most heartily. One of the New York press
gang told mo that a friend of his in this city
bought, a few days ago, $50,000 in gold on a
margin, at 217, and sold it on Monday for
224. He thought it was a good thing, and 1
am not sure that suoh look is at all unbearable.
The Constitutional" Amendment may carry
yet before the close of the 88th Congress. 1
am told that the prospects of its passage i are
improving. Further consideration of the sub
ject has been postponed two weeks ; and prob
ably the appropriation bills will be gU. through
ad interim. Could the hesitating opposition
members,of the House project themeelves into
the future, say ten years, and behold the ques
tion as it will present itself to the world at
that day.no doubt they would only be too glad
to embrace this opportunity to secure amnesty
and forgiveness from a discriminating poster
ity by giving their votes for the final destruc
tion of Slavery. As they stand now they Jap
pear like men who take the pick and spade to dig
their own graves j which done, they Jut the

knife to their own throats, and disappear from
tho stage of public life amid the curses of all
good men. To me this hesitancy to do justly
and walk uprightly is explainable only in two
ways: either they are entirely unequal to the
task of legislating for a Christian people, or
they are utterly given over to the devices of
the devil.
JAN. 25, 1865.
There is nothingln Slavery, even in its mild
est form, as I have seen it, to commend it to
any man of even average morality. It is a
most bitter wrong to both white and black.—
There Js nothing in Slavery which can strength--
en a State; nothing upon which a liberal form
of government can rest. Why, then, this hesi
tancy on the part of some to come forward and
ontlaw the system of prohibition in the organic
law f Candor compels me to reply, fhat this hes
itancy is born of the basest of a|n bit ions. These
objectors are not deterred from 'obeying the
commands of the age' by any affection for
the system per at. They have -wrested it to
their political aggrandizement in the past, and
■would ba glad to preserve it for the same
base purpose in the future. How blind and un
wavering l_ No system at war with the vital
doctrines of Christianity can be preserved from'
trial, and ‘every legalized error must consume
to ashes in the crucible of present national ex
periences.
The subject of reconstruction is likely to ab
sorb much of the attention of Congress during
the next month. The Senators and Repre
sentatives from Louisiana and Virginia are
knocking a't the doors of Congress, asking for
recognition. Congress will have to decide upon
their claims soon; and in that decision the
whole question and policy will be settled. The
radicals are opposed to their admission. For
one I hope they will be.admitted; at least those
of Louisiana who come backed by a large ma
jority of the entire vote of the State. Wisdom
dictates that the door for the retnrn of the
seceded States to the Union should be opened
• wide. It is no time for theorizing. Nor is it
a time to wreak revenges. The seceded States
should be relieved from the heavy yoke of mil
itary rule as soon after, occupation as may be
possible. This can best be done by recognizing
the civil recognitions as fast as the loyal portion
of the people have accomplished them.
It is a vexed question. The confiscation of
the estates of prominent and active rebels seems
justifiable in the light of retributive justice.—
But I doubt if it pays. Few men will pnrcbase
“ a pig in a pokeand purchasing confiscated
real estate has never yet been brisk. The best
that can be said of it is, that snob property
has been devoted to the amelioration of the
condition of the liberated slaves. But if the
property can only be alienated during the life
of the traitor, as many hold, then the better
plan would seem to be to lease the property
subject to reclamation by the heirs who are
Innocent of the crime against the State.

The weather is moderate.
There are rumors that the rebels have! blown
op Fort Caswell, on Cape Fear river, (opposite
Fort Fisher, and that Wilmington has been
evacuated by them and occupied by the nation
al troops; bat they need confirmation. We
know, that the rebels destroyed their works on
Smith's Island, on the sonth side of New Inlet,
opposite Federal Point, on which Fort Fisher is
situated, soon after the fall of that stronghold,
and as Admiral Portor wrote on Monday last
even if they have not destroyed Fort Caswell it
islof no use to then; for, he says, “We will get
thjat after a little while.” His gnnboats are
now in Cape Feat river, and Wilmington, even
if it is not yet captured, is forever closed against
blockade runners. The| Admiral, in speaking
of tbs strength of Fort Ifisher, says that it is
tremendous, and that the Malakoff, whioh the
French and English were many months in tak
ing, will noti compare with it. He adds that
the world never before saw such fighting as
that of onr 'soldiers on last Sunday. Our killed
and wounded are estimated at about eight hun
dred ; those of the rebels at about five hundred.
At least two thousand prisoners and over seven
ty pieces of rebel artillery fell into the hands of
tbs Union forces-
General Sherman had his preparations for a
new movement nearly completed. The Seven
teenth corps of his army, under General Blair,
and General Hatch's division of Foster's army,
were in secure possession of the important
position of Pooataligo bridge, on the Charleston
and Savannah Railroad. The Fifteenth corps
would soon join them. General Sherman had
issued an order giving notice to farmers that
they may visit Savannah, Ga, and Fernandina
and Jacksonville, Fla, to‘ exchange their pro
duce for supplies needed by their families, and
guaranteeing them protection. In case they or
any Union citizens of Georgia are molested
severe retaliation is to be visited on the rebels.
He also encourages the people to meet together
and take measures for a restoration of State
and national civil goverment. During his stay
in Savanah Secretary Stanton promoted a num
ber of officers who have distinguished thorn
selves, including Gen. Kilpatrick, who was
brevettad a Major general.
A drover in Cincinnati droped n roll of mon
ey containing $4OO in greenbacks, which one
of his cows took for “grass," and swallowed.—
The animal was killed, and her stomach cleaned
but of the mass only $lB6 were found in a fit
condition for a “ legal tender," though other
wise all tender enough 1

Ruffianism oitOiL Cheek —A few weeks ago
ruffianism prevailed on Oil Creek to such an
extent as to make travelling, or even existing,
anywhere between Titusville and Oil City a
somewhat hazardous experiment. Following
the speculators from the Eastern cities, who
came with an abundance of money, these ruf
fians came for murder and plunder. They are
the scum of the worst of creation, and evidently
thought thay, had the.best field . for operations
ever presented. Thay were mistaken, bowever.-
The rapid and efficient organization of patrol
forces and vigilance committees put a sudden
quietus upon their arrangements, and now
they are the party whose lives nre in the great
est danger. This elites of ruffians dress as*
gentlemen. They are the first to meet the
stranger on his arrival in that section of the
country, and are ready to show him the sights
and wonders of the oil region in order to find
an opportunity to rob the unwary. These men
lead desperate lives, their ordinary mode of
lively hood being made up of drinking and
gambling. We have been informed of numer
ous robberies and attempts at robberies by
tbese desperadoes, all of which are of recent
date, and should be a warning to those who are
obliged to go to the oil regions oo business.—
Of late, however, things have assumed a more
gratifying appearance, and it is to be hoped that
ere long this nuisance will tie abolished alto
gether.—Pittsburg Poat. <||
The Common Schools of the State. — A re
port from the Superintendent of the Common
Schools in the State, shows that there are 637,-
783 pupils in the state schools, exclusive of
Philadelphia. Length of school term five
mouths seventeen days; average cost of each
pupil, 58 cents per month. The total cost of
the system is 31,381,173, aa„inoiease over the
year previous of $97,073. This does not in
clude the expenses of the Philadelphia Common
Schools. There is a decrease of 367 male teach
ers, owing to the war, and an increase of 593 fe
male teachers.
Terrible Disaster at Sea.— The steamer
North America left New Orleans on the 16th
ult, for New York, having on board 203 sick
soldiers, 12 cabin passengers and a crew of 44
men. There was a storm, about the 20th and
on the 22d the engineer reported the ship leak
ing badly. Th e bark Mary F Liby came along
side, boats were put out and 72 persona 'wera
transferred to her, when the sea became so
rough until night came on that no more could
be taken oS. The vessel sunk carrying down
with her to a watery grlve 167 souls. .

_ caused by mercurial dis
ease, low living, 'disordered digestion from un
healthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits,
the depressing trices, and, above all, by the vene
real infection. Whatever lie its origin, it is hered
itary in the constitution, descending *• from parents
to children unto the third and fourth generation
indeed, it seems to bo the rod of Him who says, "I
will visit the iniquities of tha fathers upon that
children.” The diseases it originates tike various
names, according to the organs it attacks. In tits
lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, ami finally
Consumption; in the glands, swellings which sup
purate and become ulcerous sbres; in the stomach
and bowels, derangements which produce indi
gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints ; on the
skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections. Xhcie,
all having the same origin, require the same rem
edy, viz., purification and invigoration of tha
blood. Purify the blood, and these dangerous dis
tempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted
blood, you cannot have health; with that “ life of
the flesh” healthy, you cannot have scrofulous
disease. f
t Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
is compounded from the most effectual antidotes
that medical science has discovered for this afflict
ing distemper, and for the cure of tho disorders it
emails. That it is far superior to any other
remedy yet devised, is known by all, who have
given it a trial. That it does combine virtues truly
extraordinary in their effect upon this class of
complaints, is indisputably proven 1 by tho treat
multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures
it has ■ made of the following diseases • Eing'3
Evil, or Glandular Swellings, Tumors,' Erup
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas,
Eoae or St, Anthony’s Tire, Salt Shram, Scald
Head, Coughs from tuberculous deposits in
the lungs, Swellings, Debility, Dropsy,
Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis
and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the Whole senes
of complaints that arise from impurity of the blood.
Minute reports of individual cases nny bo found
in Ateb’s American Almanac, which h furnished
to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein
may bo learned the directions for its use. and some
of the remarkable cures whichit has made when
aU other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those
cases are purposely taken from all sections of the
country, in order that every reader may have ac
cess to some one wiio can speak to him of its bene
fits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses
the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far
more subject to disease and its fatal results than
are healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to simrten,
and does greatly shorten, the avenge duration of
human life. The vast importance of these con
siderations has led us to spend years in perfecting
a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This we
now offer to the public under the name of Aves's
Sarsapakii.ua, although it is composed of ingre
dients, some of which exceed the best of Siirjt
parilla id alterative power. By its aid you may
protect yourself from the suffering ami d inger of
these disorders'. Burge out the foul cuiruptions
that tot and fester in the blood, purge out the
causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow ■
By its peculiar virtues this remedy stimulates the
vital functions, and thus expels the distempers
which lurk within the system or burst out on sty
part of it.
We know "the public have been deceived '■}
many compounds of Sanppauiin. that promise 1
much and did nothing, but they will ne:;k., -•
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its \ rmc; iv.-e

no question of its surpassing excoilctuv t -
cure of the afflicting' diseases it is inter. .. i ■>

very different medicine from nny other which
been before the people, and is far more effccuiM
than any other which has ever been available to
them.
