Ho was treated with the greatest courtesy aud consideration The Liberals report that Escobedo bas 85,000 troops at Queretaro. They are in possession of all the roads but one. Tho belief is gaining ground that Maximilian has inside of 15,000 men. Tho freeling among tho Libe? rals is very bitter against Maximilian. His nativo officers, it is feared, will not be able to eave him in case of capture Juarez and his generals are confident of a speedy triumph. Que? retaro expects to bo in the city of Mexico in two months. Tho mes? senger left Juarez at Sau Luis, on tho 23d ultimo. A fire occurred in New Orleans, nt tho storo of R.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Tho defi? ciency in the accounts of the Assist? ant Treasurer at New Orleaus, accord? ing to statements here, is $1,000,000.

MTitmrn LIA IMUUMI fliwyy, - We hove recently been shown ? statement of the ./Etna Life Insur? ance Company's business for th? year onding January 1, 1867, by which it appears that it issued 14,032 policies-a larger number than was issued by any company, with one exception-tho Mutual Life of New York, which issued 14,320. The magnitude of tho now business maj be seen by a comparison of the number of policies issued with those of other companies eloing business ir Now York. Tho average number ol Eolicies issued during the year 186( y New York companies being 3,080 by companies of other States, 4,313. Tho receipts of tho .?Etna for th< year were $3,556,236, being nn in crease of about Si,900,000 ?over the {n-ovious year. After paying al osscs anel expenses for transacting the business, the princely sum o: $2,365,000 was added to its surplus making the assets of the company upwards of $5,000,000, nil of whicl is safely invested. In number o policies, the business of 1866 ove: that for tho year 1865 was 5,223; ii amounts insured, $19,086,757. It appears from the reports to tin insurance departments of New. Yorl anel Massachusetts that the bu si nos of this company has been iucreasce in a greater ratio proportionately during tho Inst six years, than that o any other company. Tho prominn receipts of tho company for tho yea ending September 1, 1861, were les than $70,000, and it will be seei from tho abovo that, only some ?v years later, its receipts for a singl year were upwards of $3,550,000 marvellous increase. Tho business of the company th {>resent year, thus far, exceeds ver argely that for tho corresponeliu mouths of last year, both in numbe of policies issued and receipts, th latter averaging upwards of $400,00 per month. With its agencies no so thoroughly established, anel it full complement of experienced au enterprising agents, who are systerr ntically [canvassing the country, it unparalleled success must continue. The following is from the Insm ance Monitor, for April, 1867: .?ETNA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. - The vii tn a Life presents thc mn I signal example of American progrei i and accumulative energy. Evei i brunell and department of tho iust tution appears to bo replete with tl most active vitality aud growth, au the rapidity of its advancement is ? great that it promises to eclipse all i competitors, anel to become, if it not already, the first life insurau company in America. How nearly these presages a alreaely accomplished, and how cc tain they are of complete and spec< fulfillment, may bo gathered from tl following facts: About five years ag tho ^Etua Iitfe, which is possessed a stock capital of $150,000, coi meuceil business as a mutual coi pany. In 1861, it issued 589 policu the premiums amounting to b j $76.533.67. Since that period, growth has been something nltot thor unprecedented in tho history lifo insurance, its business hnvi been annually doubled, tripled, ar on ono occasion, almost quadruple till it bas culminated in the yent issue of over 14,000 policies, insuri over $40,000,000, at tho same til that it was the recipient of thcauni revenue of over $3,500,000. It accordingly appears that t /Etua Lifo insured last year, w ono excoptiou, the largest number persons of any company in 1 United States, and oven as to arnot insured, it is surpasseel by only t companies, and it is probable tba wo niel not have been excelled by th in this respect, if it were not eleen incompatible with its permauent terests to grant a single policy fo sum exeoctling $10,000; for, althoi so remarkably progressive, JEtna's course has always beon equi prudent, safe and conservative. ] certainly in its increase of busiu in 1866 over that of 1865, i?clud the issuo of policies, amount insu ami total income, when its posit and that of other companies at commencement of last year aro d ccmsielered, it must be regarded, youd comparison, as tho most s cessful of nil. Tho present year ' ncsses no abatement e>f this youtl vige>r anti growth. On tho coutn wo learn that tho corapauy's iuori in business in 1867 is nearly dot that of the eorrespoutiing mouthi 1806. The realization of the avo purpose of the management of /Etna Lifo to make their comp the first, largest and best in Union, appears, thereforo, to 1 become a part of the "manifest tiny of tho nation." It must be admitted fiat tber something truly inspiring iu the i templation of the noble uchiovenv of this company; for although mat erial progress it bas maele is i Rumble by the actuary, tho goo has dom; anel tho good it is yet tined to accomplish transcend, calculation of all but Omniscio The battle's victory, tho triumpl material urt ami science aro glorious than t he conquests of gen philanthropy, e>f which lifo insur is, perhaps, tho most perfect cm tiou. In nil countries anti iu uli ti the widow aud orphan have beei gurded as sp?cial object s of solioi and bounty by the good and g and even in tho dark ages, tho du less und true knight added a lust his fame by afforeling them rebel protection: - T?t never ttntf? now never until the complete ostablieb mcnt of life iusurance-have tho wi? dow, orphan and such dependents been justly, sufficiently, liberally and honorabhr provided for, and a compa? ny like tqe /l$lnr|?Lif?, that takes the lead iu this ra?sfcdjenefloeut work.-is, therefor^ dceorving of nil honor, praise and encouragement. There is yet one feature peculiar to the .?Etna Life entitled to special commendation, aud that is its econo? my. In this regard, notwithstand? ing its activity, youth, growth aud amount of hew business, it presents a remarkable exception, and tho skill and caro of its President, E. A. Bulk eley, Esq., and its zealous aud able Secretary, T. O. Enders, Esq., ar? manifest in tho success which has at? tended their efforts to unite in their management the qualities of extraor dinary efficiency and strict economy. Tho ratio of the -?Etna's expenses tc premium and totel income is lowei than that of the Mutual Life, its titanic riva!, and under the latte] heading, less tlmn that of tho Con necticut Mutual, notwithstanding th? advantages possessed by those com panics in their great accumulation o many years' business; but, nllhongl the ratio of the ./Etna's disbursement is now considerably below the genera average, it might have" been reduce? below that of any but for its gene rous, and, in many instances, mos laudable practice of paying claim; before maturity. It keeps no orphai or widow waiting for her in.surano money, oven when not legally paya ble. It consults thc spirit and desigi of tho institution, rather than tin policy of preparing materials for ai attractive exhibit. This genial bene volence and liberal dealing render th company a great favorite with th' public. Similar commendation might b justly extended to its other popula features and reforms, including it nou-forfeituro policies, its helpfu credit given during the continuauc of policy, its equitable division c all the profits among the insurec except thc six per cent, on the stoc capital, and its excellent and prc ductivo dividend system. Tho laj feature has afforded great satisfactio to its members, for its dividenc which "is paid two years from dal of policy, and annually thereafter, o tho amount of premium," has, fe this year, and for several years pas amounted to fifty per cent., and paid promptly in tho same year it declared, in cash or cash policies, < applied to tho credit of those wi have received credit. We shouh however, exceed the space to whic wo are restricted, if wo were to eu m era te the special advantages enjoye by the members of the ./Etna Lif who now number over 80,000, ar who seem to fully appreciate the privileges, for they are tho company voluntary and, in' many instance most efficient agents, and assist spreading its benefits with au ea uestness and cordiality which spei well for their benevolence, and v l?mes for the institution itself. The ./Etna Life is one of tho soun est and safest life corporations, has over $5,000,000 securely invest at interest, and $1,000,000 surpl over all liabilities, including the fi value of all existing policies. Frc every point of view, this great co pauy displays features of spec merit and unusual excellence! and the prediction that its policies, duri this year, will amount to 22,000, a: its receipts to $7,000,000, should fulfilled, it will got no more tb.au dues-no more than tho best frier of lifo insurance and of human (for the}' are identical) sincerely tri it will obtain and employ, as hither to tho advancement anti elevation society, anti, eventually, to tho gr relief and honorable maintenance the widows and orphans of the p vident and true-hearted. -? < '? > - Thc Bichmond Enquirer, of 11th, says: Tho ladies of Richmond conclut on yesterday tho good work in wh they have been for more than I weeks engaged. Tho attendanco 1 good, anti the spacious saloons r sen ted a most animated and inion ing spectacle. "Fair childhood prattled iu thc hall, Counting its toys; and youth was ;a As standing in llfuV middle way, It heard both Hope and Memory ci Matrons comely and refined, i maidens fair and blushing as opening rose, wandered through saloons, descanting upon tho beau of a scene' of which they were, h ever, the brightest ornaments. Sm ripple across rosy lips, girlish lau ter thrills merrily upon tho air, iirgazing on tho bright faces aron ono might well bo tempted to bel that sorrow had never clouded tl radiant features. But "every h knoweth its own bitterness," an< we look beneath tho smiling sur we should find that the iron entered many a soul, aud that many a bosom gnaws a grief wh though concealed by smiles, is ii tho less corroding. Among all tl hore present there is scarcely who has not given some loved on the cause. Worthy daughters of mothers of the revolution, the men of Virginia entered heart noni into tho struggle for Soutl independence. Attached as were to the Union, cemented by blood of their forefathers, and tc starry flag which their sires hu< often borne to viotory, they forred freedom to a name, and lil to a painted banner. ' Crop m gyp fret?.'-'" *" Tho Wilmington Journal says: Wo have conversed with an intelli? gent gen tie m an, in whom we have implicit confidence, who has re? cently made a tour through the prin? cipal portions.of imrliofrton, Ches? ter, Marion a?d Sumter Districts, South Carolina, and a portion of Auson County, North Carolina, and from tho information he gives us, we aro led to believe that tho present prospects for a good crop of cotton are very favorable. Tho plant was in many instances up, and doing well, and where it was not already up, it was coming up finely. Some appre? hension was felt on account of the late heavy rain, but that seems to have been dispelled in a great mea? sure. The rain does not appear to i havo been so destructive as was first feared. From present appearances and from all our informant could learn, (and he took pains in posting him? self,) we mayat least hope for a good crop this year. The wheat, in tho upper country, was never known to be better, and if no fatality to this latter crop should happen before harvest, wo shall, with tho prospects before us, reap tho best harvest known for many a season. There has been a very heavy outlay mado by the farmers in the way of fertilizers. The only fault to bo found with our farmers, particularly in the cotton regions of South Carolina, is, that they pay but little attention to tho importance of raising grain and other provisions. This is to be re? gretted, but, of course, every farmer knows what appears to bo best for himself, and we do not know that we have any right to advise other? wise. Wo are highly pleased to bear tho favorable prospects before us. We regret to learn from our friend, that there is considerable destitution in Sumter District, for the want of food amongst tho poorer classes. To alleviate this condition, we have seen in the pnpers that aid bad been rendered them; but of course that aid bad not been received to tho ex? tent that was requisito. The want of food and raiment iu any section of the South is mainly attributable to the fact that the cotton regions consult more tho dimes to be real? ized from cotton, than they do tho inner man of tho helpless. When our people learn to produce, food to? gether with cotton, they will have arrived nt a point in which they aro as yet infants. We hopo they will not remain infants many more years. NEW, BETTER AND CHEAPER GAS. By recent experiments made in thc presence of disinterested parties, tho great value and economy of thc gas produced by the mode adopted by the Petroleum-Calcium Gas Light Company, has been fully demonstrat? ed. This is true not only as applied to thc lighting of single residences, hotels and factories, but also in its application to works erected for light? ing cities, where coal alone is used in the manufacture of gns. In the petroleum-calcium proc?s of manu? facturing gas, coal and the residuum of coal oil are used in connection, or the residuum and line, dispensing with coal altogether. It has boen proved beyond doubt, that two re? torts of tho ingredients last named will produce in the samo time as much gas as three retorts of coal, thus saving one-third of tho cost of erecting aud maintaining the works. And then, too, MOO feet of the pe troleo-caleium t s will burn, by actual measurement, as long as 450 of the ordinary gas furnished in our cities. Two burners using this mix? ed gas of coil, oil and limo has au illuminating power equal to three consuming the city gas. If our gas companies would adopt this new method, they could furnish their customers with better gas, and twenty per cent, cheaper than they now sup? ply.- Wheeling Intelligencer. GREELEY OPPOSED TO CONFISCA? TION.-The Rome Courier publishes the brief affair below, written iu re? ply io a business letter of J. R. Ste- | vens, of Rome: "I wish tho South were os free from danger in respect to famine, and other evils, os from confiscation. Yours, HORACE GREELEY." The schism in the Presbyterian Church is in the way of being healed. Commissioners of both the Old and New Schools, after a week of confer? ence .n New York, havo agreed, with remarkablo unauimity, upon a plan of union, which will be submitted to the next General Assemblies. A Kentucky paper says: * 'We trust the day may come when tho intense bitterness of these sad days may be buried in an eternal grave. For one, we yearn for the true peace-that peace which only exists where liberty and law reign supremo." FROST.-The Bennettsville Eastern Journal says that a heavy frost fell in that section on Thursday morning last, and that tho crops are seriously injured. The cotton crop is said to be severely damaged. Mr. John McCollum, an old and respected citizen of Marlboro, died in Bennettsville very suddenly, on Saturday last, of dropsy of tho heart. He bud just returned from n visit to Charleston. It is stated that Senator Doolittle, at the request of Secretary Seward, leaves for Russia, upon. au official diplomatic mission in connection w ith tire late treaty. Tuf cfcs ' REUTJCED.-Tho Augusta" Constitutionalist give? notioe of a re? line tic n in tho price of the Augusta Factory goods of Que cent per yard. The following are the present quota? tions: y% shirting, 15}?., ; 1-i sheeting, 18; and drills 10 cents per yard. If Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, happens to havo such a thing as a soul about him, he must be delighted at the progress among the negroes of Richmond since his visit to and speech in that placo.
