subject of SO much importance to the South, that
we make no apology to our readers for devoting
portionof our space this morning to the matter
It is q startling disclosure made by the President of
the Southern Oil Company, as to the manner in
whiohathe oil department is generally managed by
railroads, and it behooyes the Presidents and Su-
perintendens of all Southern roads to give their
personal attention to the experiments, so that
money may be saved to their stockholders, while
they aid to build up much-desired Southern enter.
prise. The letter speaks for itself, and we COM
mend tito the careful perusal of the South, and
call upon all papers friendly to the cause of South
ern Independence to giveit publicity:
