Coal On.-The great sensation of the day,
in business point of view, is the coal-oil
trade. The comparatively small amount of
capital necessary o>commence operations,
and the immediate and profitable return, to
those who make the lucky hit, have induced
hundreds of young men with short purses
but brilliant hopes, to END 9eavor to smooth
Life's troubled waters by theOil of Mecca or
of Pennsylvania. The Warren Chronicle
says:
The oil fever still RACES at Mecca. War
reu is crowded day and night with pilgrims
going to and coming from the diggings, and
as consequence the hotels are doing good
business. -Four hacks per day, and some
times more, ply between Warren and the
Oil Dorado, and the road is lined constant
ly with teams and private conveyanees.-
New discoveries are of daily occurrence.
Among the latest streaks of luck announced
is a new well just put in operation by j. F.
Asper, ESQ, of Warren, and three Others on
the town line between Bazetta and Mecca,
and only seven miles from Warren, which
yielded, in ten hours Of pumping, forty bar
rels Of oil. " Ten (barrel) strikes " are be-
coming too common for special mention.
The amount of coal oil sent during the
last thirteen months over the Sunbury &
Erie R. R., was 22,11s barrels. Of this
amount over $4,000 barrels were shipped
during the past six months, and 6,4S1 bar
rels during December. 1t is worth $40 per
per barrel at the well.

The greotest range, $500 yards, is little
over two-and-a-half miles. The calibre Of
the guns, if we mistake not, is about that Of
the " Columbiads" at Fort Sumter. Fort
Sumter lies S95 miles from Charleston, and
unless the ranges of the above table can
be outdone by q half, it would be impOs-
sible for Major Anderson to do much dam
age by turning his guns upon the city.

MEDICAL WoRK.-Nfr. H. N Addison is agent
for work which we should judge to be a
valuable one. It's biography Of eminent
physicians and surgeons Of the nineteenth
century, and gives the lives of such men as
Warren, Rush, Beck, Miller, Brammont, and
many others equally distinguished. The
articles are written by those who are per-
feetly competent to accomplish the task in
a faithful and understanding manner.

MAILS DELATED.-The trains missed con
neetion at Dunkirk on Sunday morning and
the mails did not arrive, in consequence.

5tl''s If Saturday, which came through by
private hands.

ARTILLERY PRAoTIoE.-We know it is a
common thing nowadays to speak of can
non-shot striking the target at five or six
miles distance, but have always supposed
that there was much more of romance than
reality in all such reports. The Handbook
of Field Service, by J. H. Leroy, F. R. s.,
Royal Artillery, gives tables of ranges Of
shell fred from 1O-inch guns at an elevation
Of As degrees.

TlKKN IN.-Fhe good people of Columbus
were sadly done for on Saturday night by
man, calling himself Lovett, who advertised
performanceby "Dixie's Minstrels, " at Ar

much as after selling an unlimited quantity
Of tiekets,--some seventy dollars worth we

There's the light of the suns last smile
On the brow Of the blushinE West rlg
And shadows are stealing from sleepy hills %
To lie on the rivers breast.
Why comes she not p--my darling
Day fades from field end fell ..-
Aud anemones woo the night born dew
To the lips Of their pailid bell
have asked the roses" Why comes she not ~
But the roses can only Sigh
have asked the waters, and only
They answer me, " why, ah whyp

For the breath of their lips is sweet;
And the river shah bear them softly there
To whisper II at her feet.
Hasten thee now, o river, -
On TO the gray. earded sea

Go seek for my darling with thee. -

A little way over the moor,
Swift let them glide, on thy heetest tide
And lie AZ her feet on thy shore.

General Nathaniel LYON.

BrlgadIer-General Lyon, late commander Of
the Missouri volunteers, and slain at the late
battle near Springfield, graduated at West Point
IN Io4l, ard since continued in the army, hold
ing the commission OF captain in the Second In
fantry. He was in the wars OF Florida, Texas.
California, Oregon and Kansas. In Mexico he
accompanied Gen. Scolt's division, and was
breveted IN lS47 for gallant and meritorlous
conduct IN the battles OF Couireras and Cburu-
busco. He was wounded at the Belen Gate OF
the city Of Mexico, September IS, lS47. His
experience well fitted him !or campaign sucb
as that OF Missouri, and he died al the age of
forty-two, thorough and accomplished soldier,
General Lyon was born in Ashford, Connect

tbs minds of those who are acquainted with
:he maneuvering of the opPosition to the De-
mocracy, If seems very much ike poli'ical
dodge. Why did not the originators OF the
s.Union" movement consult the Chairman OF
the Democratic County COMMITTEES in regard to
the holding of s.Uuion'' meeting on Monday
night, when there are generally more people IN
town than at any other time during Court
Wby was it that those men who stand upon the
platform adopted by the late Democratic Coun-
ty Convention, were entirely ignored IN the TIA
ming of the call, and not even asked to sign NJ
excepting only few whose names were soilci-
ted for shame's sake after all others that would
sign had done so z The reason is evident
The men who endorse everything that is done
by the Lincoln Administration, are determined
to place in false position those who choose TO
differ, in any particular, from the Adminlstra'
ton.
Fellow Democrats! In view OF these things
we appeal to you TO attend the meeting on Mon

there be such an assemblage as will do honor

addressing crowd in front OF hotel, at Cum
berland, some SeceSsionlsts raised disturbance
which resulted iu their being driven home, and
the destruction of the .ffteghenian office, a
Peace newspaper.
This mornings tram bound west, which had
Governor Thomas aboard, when about eight
miles this side of Cumberland, came suddenly
on several cross ties thrown across the track,
aud al the same time large number of armed
men were seen rapidly descending The neigh
boring hill. The engineer increased the speed
OF the locomotive, and succeeded in throwing
the ties off the track, with but little damage to
the engine. Several shots were fred at the
train but without effect. The design was evl-
IDENTIFY to take Governor Thomas a prisoner.

In another column will be found a call for A
-Uuisa', ynestinc - - ,.---- --Fr'''s1-s
T..esuay evening next. As we claim to be
as good "Unlon man" as any whose names
are appended to that call, we deem it bet prop
er that we should state the reasons why our
name does not appear in the list of those who
make the call.
The language of the call is, in part, very OBJ
jecIlona5le. What conscientious Democrat
could sign paper pedgrng him 70 aid N the
suppression OF Union Democratic newspapers,
the seizure and incarceration of innocent men
on mere suspicion and without the opportuni-
ty of hearing before the proper civil authorl-
ties, the abnegaton of the sacred rgh. Of peti-
ton, the violation Of the sancity of private cor
resPondence, the appointment OF incapable men
as officers in the army, to the exclusion OF the
skllful and the meritorious, and above all, the
elunderlng and plundering OF the War Depart
nent, which resulted in the disaster at Bull
Run? Yet We are asked TO do all this, in
those words of the call, which solicit our aid in
'the efforts nOw being made to. carry on the
tcar." Had those words been omitted, or had
they been changed so as to read, 'HaH proper and
Constitutional efforts" we would have signed
the call most cheerfuIly.
But we believe that the Democracy Of Bed
ford county, can do more TO advance the cause
oil the Union, by maintaining their own organi-
zaiion and holding Union meetings oftheir own,
than by afhliatIng and fusing with the "Repub-
i'cans." The latter plan was tried last winter,
when the Union might have been preserved if
certain politicians had no! preferred the Chica-
go Platform TO the peace and integrity of the
Republic, and what was the result? Why,
moderate resolutions were adopted BY the meet
ing, endorsed by R. D. BARCLAY, ESQ, and a
few other "Republicans," but the body of that
party headed by their leaders, boited from the
meeting and called a meeting of their oton
Besides. the Union feeling among the Republi-
cans has exhibited itself but very recently. tt
Is hardly quarter of year old. Prior to the
] 9th OF April, our FFRepublcan' friends were
willing 10 ''iet the Unlon slide" No appeal
however impassioned and powerful, could move
them to accept any OF the peaceful remedies
proposed for the healing of our domestic troub-
les. Their reply was, 'slt the South wants TO
secede, let il GO" For these reasons we have
no faith IN the efficiency of the proposed "Uni-
on meeting. We believe il can DO no good to |
the country, but great deal Of evil to the
Democratic organization, the only hope of the
country.
Again, this "Union" meeting is called for
Tuesday night, the night of the regular meet
'ng of The "Republlcans," This taken 10 con-
nection with the fact that The organ of the
"RePubhcans," rails the ticket at lis head,
nominated bya "RePubGcan" Convention, "a
