WuY SHOULD THEY SINK p--The excitement Of
the chase has AL Rys been supposed to have q
hcalthful tendency; but there is a kind Of chase
which breaks down the institution, debilitates
the frame, and shortens life. We mean the
headlong, unntermitting hunt after "the al
mighty dollar" which is the great business
characteristic Of the present day. 1t begets
other evils unnecessary to name) which precp-
itate the fate Of thousands. there is, however,
possibility Of recovery from the prostration
produced by these causes, long after their vic.
tim has ceased to hope for it. If We are rightly
informed, the most astonishing cures Of what
is called general weakness and debility, which
have ever been known in this country, have been
effected through the agency Of the Professor
lIolloway's Pills Mere skeletons Of men, out
Of whom the very principle Of vital y seemed to
have been drained, have been restored to health
and vigOr by the operation Of the Pills and Of
the Ointment in cases Of paralysis, rheumatism

exertiOn; if in their anxiety to "gOahead," they
will over ride the most precious Of Gods bless.

To repair the mischief, when they come at last

CAMP LESLIE, near Halls Hill, Va,
November 20, 1861.
GEo. F. LEWIS Dear SIR Thinking
that perhaps a short letter from the
Stockton Mich Reg't might interest some
of your readers, l have concluded to
send you some information of the where
abcuts aud condition of the Saginaw
Valley Guard, now serving in the field,
under command of the gallant Col. L. b.
w. STOCKTON.
With pleasure and pride we remember
our departure from our cherished home.
The hearty cheers of the hundreds who
assembled on the docks to bid us "good
bye" are still ringing in our ears, and
serve to animate aud encourage US when
the trials and hardships of camp life
would depress our spiri:s.
We spent the time pleasantly, and we
trust profitably, in "Cainp Backus," until
the 18th of September, when we started
for tlh seat of war, arriving at Washing
ton on the Goth Sept. We pitched our
tents for the first time on Meridian Hill.
Here we received our arms and KNAPP
sacks, and staid until the 2sth, when we
started for the rebel State Of Virginia.
Arriving in tho evening at the Long
Bridge, we found one of tho draws
broken; so wc "biro.acked'' in the yard cf
the Smithsonian Institute, and in the
morning started on our way, arriving at
Fort Corcoran, on Arlington Heights, at
about noon, where we pitched our tents
and remained until Oct. 1st. We then
moved forward about five miles to our
present encsmpmcnt. s.s
We have not yet had any encounter
with the enemy, but have besn several
times under marching orders, fully cx-
pcoting brush with them. Our fears
and excitement, however, were all ban
ished by the command, "Break ranks"

IyDIAN RESERVATIONS IN SAeISAw.--

A Cmrious Coincidence.

In the first volume Of Bancroft's His
tory Of the United States, [p. &c, Ap-
pears the following singular passage:
"For an agricultural colony, milder
climate was desirable !: in view Of settle
ment at the South, De Monts explored
aud colsnized for France, the Rivers, the
Coasts aud the Bays of New England, SO
far, at least, as Cape Cod. The numbers
and hostility of the savages led him to
delay removal, since his Colonists were
so few. Yet the purpose renamed
1hrics IN the Spring Of the Jolloscing year.
did Dupont, hts Lieutenant, attempt 10 com
plets the discovery. Thrice he was driven
back by adverse winds, and at the third
time his vessel was wrecked. Toutrin-
coure, who had visited France, and was
now returned with supplies, renewed the
design; bat meeting with disasters on
the shoals Of Cape Cod, he, too, returned
to Port Royal Thus tho first settlement on
the American Continent had been made--two
years before James River was discovered.
aud three years before cabin had been
raised in Canada"
The name OF Dupont in connection
with Naval Expedition st Port Royal
in 1905, and with another and greater,
two hundred and fifty years later, is ono
of those curious condolences in which
the Muse Of History loves to indulge. II
the first had succeeded in his efforts to
possess the New England shores, who can
tell what would have been the effect upon
the destinies of this continent? IL the
second had failed in entering Port Royal
Harbor, how differently the future annals
of the Republic might read. II Port
Royal meuaSed New England in 1908,
the tables have been turne in 1861.

EOIlIVG FOR on.

1t is already pretty well understood
that the indications of . supply of Coal
Oil at various localities in the Saginaw
Valley are unmistakahle. Good speci-
mems Of Oil have been found at various
points in Tuscola county, small quantities
of which have been gathered from the
surface Of some Of the small streams, and
in this county partial examinations have
resulted in its discovery to an extent
which clearly indicates an abundant sup
ply nt moderate depth.
Mr.. j. f. MILLER has commenced sink
ing well in town eleven north Of range
four east, and although he has gone down
but e-skv'. distance, he has already found
oil of very superior quality, though as
yet the supply is limited. Arrangements
are now being made by some Of our en-
terprising citizens TO aid him in, his
efforts, aud the experiment will be thor
oughly tested in the course Of the next
sixty days. Mr.. M. is very intelligent
German, and it gives us pleasure to be
able to lay before our readers some of his
observations upon the oil question, In a
private letter to prominent citizen Of
this city, he remarks:
"The oil commences to come in here
through various fssures in the upper
strata of mari, iimeslats and coalshsles,
at 63 feet, (about the same depth as in
the Canadian oil region of Enniskillen),
increasing gradually by digging deeper,
and l think that good supply of oil will
be struck at depth Of IS or 90 feet
The oil is, as have observed while bor-
ing the well, of very superior quality.
To get the very best quality Of oil, it is
mostly necessary, to bore some distance
further into the rock, through the crevices
of which it comes out but this does
presently not belong to ouf experiment,
the object of which is only to show that
the oil is here in quantities. Not one of
the other four oil districts of this country
(Oho, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Can
adal, can compare OF compete with this
point in regard to shipping facilities and
staYe timber" .slo-s @ ar
He alludes to the immense amount Of
business which an extensive development
of the oil business in this section would
create, calling attention to the advantages
in fuel and the manufacture Of barrels
over other localities, aud in conclusion
remarks that the oil must be here beyond
doubt, both the geology of the country
and the surface Indications giving unmis-
taxable evidence of the fact.

THE LINE OF THE Il. e. p. NJ. RAILWAY
The question in regard to the topog-
raphy of the country between this city
and Fine having come up several times
Of late in conversation, and the impression
being universal, almost, that for the most
Of tho way it is near as dead level as
could be well conceived, we reproduce a
portion of an article which appeared in
the Courier of August 4, 1852 giving
the levels as taken by the surveyors EN-.
ployed by the Flint & Pere Marquette
Railway Co, which win show the incor-
rectness Of such an opinion. We take
Saginaw river as base.
Commencing at the river and going
s. s. f., the rise in the land for the first
miles is 16I feet, il gradually declines
toward Cass river at Bridgeport Center,
where il is only foot above the level.
At Birch Run the elevation is 25 #.
At Pine Run I" 104"
Summt between Flint and Pine Run 226 /"
At Flint city the elevation is 119"
These observations, taken in connection
with the fact that the land is much higher
on both sides Of the Railway than it is
upon the line which the track follows,
shows concusively that this section Is
more than sufficiently undulating for good
and thorough drainage, finely situated for
agricultural purposes, aud in many parts
