Life Insurances in Northern offices. The President of the New York Life Insurance Company--Mr. Morris Franklin--disclaims in his letter to Mr. Wortham, the highly respectable agent in this city, any intention whatever on the part of that company to discriminate between Southern and Northern policies in the contingencies of the dissolution of the Confederacy. See advertisement. The disclaimer is unequivocal and thorough. Now, let us ask, upon what authority did the New York Commercial Advertiser declare that a number of officers of leading Insurance Companies of New York had, upon consultation, come to certain conclusions affecting the rights of holders of life policies in the South, to the extent that the first gun in a civil war between the Federal Government and the Southern States would wipe out and annihilate $12,000,000 of capital in those States--that sum being the estimated amount of the policies held by Southern people in Northern offices ?

Office New York Life Ins. Co., 112 and 114 Broadway, N. Y., Jan. 21, 1861. Charles E. Wortham, Esq., Richm'd: Dear Sir: From the tenor of several communications recently received, it appears that some of our Southern friends entertain the opinion, that in the event of a separation of the States, the policies issued by this and other companies in the Northern States will be repudiated. If, by any possibility, the legal contract could be annulled in such an unfortunate contingency, and which we emphatically deny, this company, and we believe all others, will fully recognize the moral obligation between their customers and themselves, faithfully and promptly to meet all honorable demands which can or may be made against them, without regard to locality, or political views or sentiments. In our business relations we know of no distinction between the North and South, and certainly shall not inquire, when a demand is made upon us, whether the deceased was a citizen of the Unite

New Light Artillery Company. --We desire to call the attention of our readers to the advertisement, in another column, of the Crutchfield Light Artillery. This new company is commanded by Capt. Stapleton Crutchfield, a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and an accomplished artillery officer. Having secured a fine battery of six guns, there will be no delay in going into service. The 1st Lieutenant, Mr. Charles E. Wortham, is well known as the popular and efficient Secretary of the Old Dominion Insurance Company, and, we believe, will make a fine officer. The other offices in the company are yet vacant.--No substitutes will be received, and recruits may rely upon getting in a "crack company" when they join this one.

ervice, and then obtained employment at the Confederate States Laboratory, at which place he was engaged up to the time of his disappearance. On Thursday or Friday last he was paid off, receiving three hundred and twenty dollars. From that time till Saturday afternoon he was somewhat under the influence of liquor, but was considered by his friends to be drunk. Saturday evening at five o'clock was the last time he was seen by any of his acquaintances, and the most plausible supposition is, that some time during that night he was murdered, robbed and thrown into the dock. A jury of inquest was held over the body at twelve o'clock yesterday, under the superintendence of Justice Charles E. Wortham, assisted by High Constable George A. Freeman. Several witnesses were examined, but none of their testimony threw any light upon the affair, and the verdict of the jury, therefore, was, that the deceased came to his death by violence inflicted by some person or persons unknown to them.
