:. REPORTED RESURRECTION IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
MD;-kumors were prevalent in Georgetown YES
.erday OF negro instruction in Montgomery
county, Md. and it was reported that the volunteers
al Rockville had been ordered out. 4 gentleman
gives us the following account from letter from a
friend in Montgomery county: "a man rode into
rockville night before last, under whip and spur.
evidently scared nearly to DEATH and declared that
the negroes were collecting in the county, about
four miles from the village, and had pole erected
with light on it for a signal. This spread the
village in few minutes, and the Rockville volun-
spot, and discovered that during the day the far
mers had been burning brush, and two or three
stumps which had taken fire were still burning. and
these caused the alarm" Our informant saws there

ARREsr.-About two months ago clothing
store at Erie was entered and about 500 worth
of goods carried off. Some little time after
man by the name of G. F. Eiehenlaub was
hired to carry a man named Crosby and his
trunk from Erie to Franklin, which he did.
The trunk contained clothing which was
sold at Franklin. A week sgO Sunday
Crosby, his brother, and one or two other
men went to a livery stable at Erie and hired
a span OF horses to go 10 Meadville, saying
they would be gone four days. at the end
of the time they were not returned, nor were
any tidings received Of the men. About the
same time, some of the clothing which Gros-
by had disposed Of was identified as being
the same which had been stolen from the
store at Erie, and Eichenlaub started in pur-
suit eff Crosby, and yesterday morning saw
him at Capt. Towns, on Canal street. He
aceosted him, giving him to understand that
he himself was under bail for a criminal of
tense, and had forfeited his bonds. Crosby
advised him to go to Toledo, and recon-
mended him to q certain house where he
would be safe from arrest.
Echenlaub promised to meet Crosby again
last evening on the canal bridge for further
instructions, and left him, at the same time
setting man to watch his movements while
he went for warrant. Crosby evidently
became suspicious and started to leave,
when the spy approached and arrested him,
but the former drew a revolver from his
pocket and snapped it at his eaptorj but
either it was not loaded, or the cap was bad,
for it missed fire. Crosby, however, who is
an extremely active man, kept the crowd at
bay, fighting furiously until Sanford and
McIlrath appeared, by whom he was taken
in charge. He threw his pistol, knife and
other articles into the canal before he was
taken. On his person were fonnd three
s'stufed" watches and a counterfeit bill.
The arrest drew together large crowd,
and the prisoners struggles caused much
excitement. He informed the tall officer if
he would keep away he would ''use up" the
'sbig man." and to the latter he addressed
similar remark concerning the "tall man, +"
while the people were requested to retire and
allow him the privilege Of aOgging them
both together. u.
A warrant arrived from Erie last evening
for his arrest on charge of horse stealing
and he was sent back in charge of officer
Furguson of that city. He is evidently a
desperate and dangerous man.

LATEST NEWS.
The Opening of the War.


We have startling news from Charleston.
A dispatch to the N. Y. Day Book says that
the supply Of provisions to Major Anderson
were stopped yesterday morning. General
Beauregard was inspecting the Notifications,
and orders to begin the attack were expected
every hour from JEFF Davis at Montgomery.
If this report is reliable, (which may or may
not be, then civil war, between the North
and South, may at this moment be raging,
having been begun by the rebels of the South.
But whether true or not, it is evident that
some decisive action must be taken directly
in regard to Fort Sumter. If it must be
given up--whicn seems to be clearly estab-
Iished-then the sooner it is done the better.
We await anxiousIy fur her developments,

OIL Correspondence. al
MEooA, ION DIaeINGs P. OIL


EDITORs LEADER This month so far has
been very nnfavorable for business general
Iy, owing to the continued stormy weather,
and in this locality where there is large
amount Of business sought TO be done, the
roads have been impaSsable for teams with
loads, or even without. Notwithstanding
all this, there has been sent from Mecca,
during the month, 1,167 barrels Of oil, for
which the owners have realized over IS, 900,
and nearly every energetic business man,
coming here with money or credit enough
to carry on his business, has been, and is
still doing we'll. Men that come 10 this spot
and expectto realize fortune without labor,
or capital to forward an enterprise, viii as a
general thing be sadly mistaken, so far as
the practical part of the oil interests is con-
cerned, unless they have the nerve and
judgement to pitch in and speculate in lands,
&c. There is now erected in the "diggings"
about e75 buildings, and the same spirit that
now prevails viii see 400 more up by Jnne
lst. Even through the stormy weather
new structures arise as by magic, and the
rush for building lots increases daily. Many
good and permanent structures are being
erected that would do credit to any town,
and predict-and think my prediction
safe one-that in September next there viii
be 1900 people in the limits Of the diggings. |
Many of the first comers here are giving |
way to men of capital, and wells put down |
by them are tested, and new wells are con-
stantly being opened, that yield from five |
to twenty barrels per day. Property is be-
ing sold and leased every day to parties that
take hold of the matter in earnest, and are
not ropulsed at a slight obstruction or an un-
pleasant day, m-.r
Good board can now be had at $3.50 per
week, and supplies are plenty and at fair
price.
Above all, the oil is selling at a paying
price, and great many wells yield profit
of 800 per day. Not every man that in
vests in Mecca will get rich lat least hastily |
but the names of scores can be given who
have made themselves well of in six
months.
A large quantity of this oil has been
bought by refners at Canfeld, MahOning
county, and their agents in your city have
supplied trade that your refuers could
nave had, but the whole refining interest in
Cleveland has sought to depreeiate the Mecca
Ill, and at the same time have used it when
hey could get it by exchange or a very low
price.
If this oil is worthless for refining by the
process known to your refners, and is ie-
tired by others, trust it will find its proper
market. Of late, shipments are being made
o different parts or the country for lubrica-
ing purposes, and the trade bids fair to be
! large one. OBSERVER,

EEE's ERon FoRr p1oKrNg.

The War Department is in hourly eKpecta-
ton of the arrival of Lieut.. Gilman, with dis
patches from Lieut.. Slemmer at Fort Piekens.
He telegraphs from Mobile that be will be
here tonight or tomorrow morning. He is
a very important witness in the Armstrong
court martial.
THE sEcEssIONIsTs SHRINKING UNDER BRITISH
scoRE.
The tone of the British Government and
British press annoys the secessionists here
very much, and viii do more to dampen the
ardor Of tue new Government OF the Con-
federate States than anything else.
wHAT TIE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD DO.
In view Of the active and decisive manner
in which IT IS estimated that the English Ad-
ministraton will act on American AFFAIRS as
affecting their own interes;s, it would seem
necessary that some line Of policy sholld be
speedily adopted by Mr.. Lincoln. Let the
present status of Fort Sumter be destroyed,
that of Fort Pickens maintained, and the
Confederate Commissioners sent home. It is
well remarked by the London Times, re-
ceived here to-day, that if no point Of time
can he named at which the crisis will come
to an end, it is not easy to see why England
or France could not demand that the United
States should either put down rebellion by
efectual measures, or else allow foreigners
10 deal with the new Confederacy as inde-
pendent States.

THE LELAND CoNCERT.-The Melodeon
was not as full last night as it should have
been, upon the occasion of the grand con-
cert, given for the purpose of raising funds
for providing Leland's Band with new
silver instruments wherewith to delight our
citizens. The hall was, however, quite we'll
filed, and it is satisfaction to know that
those who stayed away can hear the glow
ing report which sllWho were present win
be sure to give. We have not space to speak
of each item Ofthe well selected programme,
BUTT was all good.
The concert was made the occasion of the
debut Of Miss Hattie Dickinson, one of the
rising mnsical stars of our city. Miss Dick
inson has an excellent voice, which wants
only cultivation and public practice to make
it one of the very best in the city for con-
cert hall. She sustained her portion of the
programme admirably and was heartily
encOred.
Miss Mary ]. Hale, who made her first
public appearance a year ago, sang the song
''phou art so near and yet so far with such
spirit and effect that the audience would not
be satisfied without repetition. Miss Hale
has clear, pleasant voice, and will always
be received with favor.
Mr.. Pease never plays otherwise than
brilliantly, so last evening was no exception.
Of the other pieces by the Cole brothers,
Prof. Mann, Messrs. Leland and Sargent,
and the whole Society and Band, we can only
say that they were as near perfection as or
binary mortals are expected to arrive.
