The American stomach is a tormenting
organ. 1t Is generally out of order. The
reason is obvious. The driving man of

xaging an ex,erminating warfare. His
weapons are the famous Blood Pills and
Blood Purifier, and they are Irresistible.
The success of these Medicines has been
astonishing, even in anage Of scientific mira
cles. They do not alleviate, they ertineuish
disorder. The agony, the fever, debility.
the dependency, which characterize attic.

vanish under the inhuenc of these prepara-

Mr.. Editor-PresumiDg that whatever
re lates to the noble cause of Education
will find ready admittance into the columns
of your excellent paper, and prove accepta-
BILE to the intelligent and discriminating
public, l hereby forward briefn Of the
exercises connected with the closing OF the
Summer Term of the Barhesvile Classical
Institute.
The Examination of the various classes
began on Wednesday at A. NJ. and iermi-
mated at about p NJ of Thursday, Of the
present week. The attendance of visitors
and patrons was more limited than was de-
sirable, yet the audience was very attentive
and appreciative. The exercises passed off
pleasantly and smoothly. clearly indicating
:hat the intercourse between Teachers and
Pupils had been harmonious and agreeable.
The Examinations, conducted chiefly by the
Principals of the school. were rigid. thorough
and searching. 1t was evident TO the most
casual observer that the subjects treated
were well understood BY the instructors
themselves, and that their labors were not
lost upon the yonth committed to their
charge. Ii is not the purpose of the writer
to speak of particu lars, nor to bestow special
praise upon any class or classes which may
may have passed upry critical examination
and come off "with colors flying" 1t shall
sufices at present TO remark that the pupils
acquitted themselves with credit, and re-
feetsd honor upon their faithful and efficient
Instructors. s,ro4r
The "Beles Lettres Lyceum" of the In
stitute held public meeting on the evening
o: the final day of examination The per-
forms noes of the young gentlemen were Of
dignifed and credtable character, and
would compare very favorably with perfor-
mances of similar associations throughout
the country. We cannot too highly COM
mend these literary societies. 1t is to be
sincerely hoped that the Lyceum may con.
tinue to increase in numbers and in eff
cheney.
1t may be well to note, en- passanl, that at
the earnest solicitation of several pupils
attending the Institute, it has been arrang-
ed to continue the present session for six
weeks.
Mr.. Johnson. the gen,lemanly and accom-
plished Associate Principal, has retired from
the school in order to prosecute his course
of study 10 the Theological Seminary. His
place will be supplied by Prof. J. NJ. Martin,
late President of the Delaware Female
College.
Fearing my promise to be brief" has oeen
too little regarded, and hoping you will par
don prolixity, remain
Yours sincerely, McC.

The American State Convention.


BY reference to the proceedings of the
Zanesville Convention published elsewhere
in this paper, it will be seen, that Joseph
r. Swan has been nominated for SD preme
Judge. t'was not thought best to- nomi-
nate any more candidates for State Offices
than him. That this is a Democratic
scheme to defeat Gholsol., there an be no
doubt, but that it will effect the desired re-
suit Is not so certsin. The Americans or
Ohio, in full Convention in Cincinnati,
regularly called, refused TO nominate State
ticket. A faction not content with their
owp party, got up This call. which we be.
Eeve was publishedin but one American
paper in the State, but was widely circula.
ted by the Democratic press. As further
evidence of its Democratic character, we
refer to fact, as stated by q prominent
American who was in the Convention, that
there were but ,wo persons present who
were not going to vote fer Ranney. The
reason the ertire ticket was not put into the
field is streak of policy easily understood.
We warn the Americans of Belmont
county to beware. The Democrats have
laid this snare and are already chuckling at
tbs aisesity with which some have jumped
in.
1t was not love for Judge swan that
caused his nomination. On the contrary,
il principle was anything to those who met
in this Convention, then their principles
must have been democratic, for every vote
east for Swan, is vote towards the elec-
tion of The Democrtic candidate. Whit
man has no sympathy with the Americans.
ewsni has none, and the very men who now
nominated him would have villified ,and vot-
ed against him had he been the Republican
nominee. Judge Gholson is more On Ameri-
cun. than either OF the Others and in spite o:
this Democratic scheme, will carry the day.

Discovery Of a Subterranean Foun.
tain of Oil,
Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune


TIrUsvILLE. Penn Sept 8, 1859.
Perhaps you will recollect that in 1854
there was organized in the City of New
York Company, under the name of the
Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company. which,
for some good reasons, passed into the hand.
of some New Haven capitalists, and was by
them removed to New Havea. In ls4s, the
Directors leased the grounds and springs to
Mr.. E. L. Drake, well known on the New
Haven Railroad. He came out here, and
in May last commenced TO bore for salt, OF
TO find the source of the oil. which is SC
common along the banks of Oil Creek
Last week, at the depth OF II feet, he struck
fissure in the rock through which be wa.
boring, when to the surprise and Joy o
every one, he found he had tapped vein oil
water and oil, yielding 400 gallons OF pure
oil to every "a hours Zone day..
The pump now in use throws only five
gallons per minute of water and oil into a
large vat, when the oil rises to the top and
the water ,uns out fiom the bottom. In Q
few days they will have a pump of three
times the capacity Of the one now in use ant
then from ten to twelve hundred gallons oil
oil will be the daily yield.
The springs along the stream, under
stand, have been mostly taken up or secured
by Brewer & Watson, the parties who
formerly owned the one now in operation
The excitement attendant on the dis
covery OF this vast source of oil was fufi!
equal to what | ever saw in California
when a large lump of gold was accidentally
turned out. MEDIcUs.

WAR Is GERNAxY-Sinee our last notice
of matters and things in general pertaining
to Bridgeport and vicinity, the Germans Vi
town have been displaying their valor in
series of battles involving almost as many
conflicts as took place recently between
Napoleon and Francis Joseph. These con-
flicts have been 90 numerous, and followed
each other in such rapid succession. that we
have not been able to keep the run of them
We know, however, that the Mayor and
Marshall have had frequent occasions to ex.
ercise their official funstions in relation to
the parties. Finaly the old Heroines, the
mother and moiher-in-law of the opposing
powers, has proved victorious, having COM
PEELED the ellies TO retreat beyond the bor-
ders. Peace reign once more.
WHEELING FAIR.-We suppose that the
late Fair on the Island yielded handsome
profit to the society under whose auspices
it was gotten up. II was also decided sue

These latter classes we doubt not derived
large percentage on their cash investments
than did the Agricultural Society. We are
strongly inclined to the opinion. however
that The pecuniary advantages 10 the Socie-
ty and to individuals, are much more than
counterbalanced by the demora lizing influ-
ence exerted upon the community. Drunk

The Late Mule Fraud.
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. ls

ST. LOUIS, Sept. -.
The Utah correspondent of the Democra
makes an expose of the late Mule Sale, a
Camp Floyd, saying that the Quarternastel
General received an order from the Secre.
tary of War, to receive the notes OF Mr.
Halliday as cash for all purchases made oy
him, and that the ouctioneer received secret
instructions to knock down mules TO HALL
day at certain figures. Under these term:
Halliday purchased upwards of 900 mules
paying in notes little more than hal
what other parties would have paid in
cash.
The writer also states that Holiday has
contracted to supply the government at Fort
Dallas, Oregon, with ode thousand mules s'
his own price.

JAPAN.

Dates from Japan are TO the 9th of June
A difficulty which arose between the Ameri
can Consul and the japanese Government
had been smicably settled. An American
who had discovered rich copper mine, leic
claim to the mine and to the soil, contrary
to the laws of the country. Tne Govern
ment resisted, and the affair was assuming
an unpleasant aspect, when the Emperor,
to prevent all further dispute, proposed thai
a third Power should be selected as empire
and designated frs, France. and ;hen Rus
sia. The American Consul had not sent in
his answer when the author Of the discovery
who was morally certain of the result, gave
up his claim on the soil, and solicited au-
thorization to work the mine and share the
profit with the japanese Government. The
offer was at once accepted.

Judge Gholson.


The peculiar circumstances under which
Judge Gbolson stands before the people, at
this time, makes mention of his claims to
the office for which he is a candidate neces-
sary. He has been the especial butt of all
manner of attack from the Democrats
First, let u, consider the objections that
have been urged against him. He is Bit
terry assailed for once having held slaves in
Mississippi, and some fabulous names are
attached TO afidavits purporting to prove
that, fifteen years ago, he had sold three
slaves. These charges come from Demo-
Gratis and will not effect the vote of any
others, unless Judge Spauldipg who has
joined with tha party to defeat Gholson.
We are told here for effect among the
Americans. that the Republican party is
under the lead of Spalding g. Co., and
especially aie we told this to defeat Gholson;
when the fact is as above stated
This has been the burden of all the attacks
the Democrats have made upon him. They
have labored 10 condem him, not on ac-
count Of his own opinions as much as the
fact that some Of those who voted for him
hold Objectionable opinions. He is charged
with being nominated instead OF Swan be-
cause of his higher.law procliyities, when
in reaiity he is fast friend of Swan, and
declared him to be his first choice for the
re. nomination. There is no one. acquaint-
ed with the circumstances of his nomina-
tion, can say. that, that event was brought
about by his political affinity with what the
Democrats are pleased TO call the Oberlinite
creed. Gholson is known to stand upon
just as conservative ground as does Swan
He is jus, as squire jurist," just as able a
man, just as loyal to the laws of the land.
We are well aware that many would
have preferred the nomination of Judge
Swan, we are frank 10 acknowledge that
we would have been better satisfied. But
that is no reason for not supporting Gho'son.
He is not responsible for the defeat of Swan.
1t is our peculiar good fortune, in Swans
defeat to have a man every way his equal.
The attempt to hold him responsible for the
misdeeds of small minority of those sup
porting him is simply ridiculous. His posi-
tion is well known, and the only question,
with him, that need engross the public mind
is a comparison of his qualifications with
those of the Democratic candidate. Is
Gholson as able a jurist as his opponent,
The answer of all who know both men is
that he is pre- eminently his superior. Is
he as true to the laws of the country! We
claim that he is, and defy evidence to the
contrary. That man will act foolish in
deed, VINO, for SO trifiing cause as either
of those stated above, will throw away his
vote, and thereby give the Democratic scan-
didate better chance of election. 1t is
very much like Jumping out Of the frying
pan into the Ere. In doing SO, you do not
vote principle; but rather to spite few
men who were enemies to Swan, and those
men are now the open enemies of Gholson
too. This being the fact it is then voting
only 10 psmper the Democratic party, or in
obedience to the wire.working of that
party, and throw the power into their hands
at sacrifice Of principle.
