Coal Oh.

CALHoON, KY, March 81, '61.
EDITORS JOURNAL Thinking it may be
of interest to your numerous readers, l
write you short description of the coal
oil discoveries on Green River, near the
town of Calhoon, in Mclean County
There has been for a number of years a
spring issuing from the base of a large hill
on the farm of Mrs. Mayo, and known as
the Tar Springs. It was, however, never
considered valuable, until recently, only as
medicine; it being esteemed very highly
in cases of rheumatism, sprAins, burns, &c.
A company engaged in the oil business in
Pennsylvania, hearing of this spring, sent
an agent to this place, and he finding it
was the genuine Petroleum, bored down a
FIVE inch hole to the depth of 80 feet, and
struck the main reservoir or vein of the oil,
which promises to yield large quantity of
pure oil.
Ia consequence of so large quantity of
oil being discovered near the surface of the
earth, it has created considerable excite
ment among the land owners and citizens
of this neghborhood, and men from the oil
regions of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Vir-
ginia, are arriving daily and taking up all
the land they can get. Farms that were
worth from FIVE to ten thousand dollars six
months since, could not be bought now for
less than from twenty to fifty thousand.
There are several wells being sunk at this
time, and predict that in the course of a
few months coal oil will figure largely in
the shipping receipts of Evansville from
this place. w. F. Il.

THE ARCTIC PANORAMA continues to be
a great center of attraction, and no wonder,
for it is one of the most deserving exhibit
tions that ever visited our city. The follow
ing charming notice of this beautiful paint
ing we clip from an exchange:
Poets write about the Gland of dreams, !"
but in this picture is one spread before us in
which our widest fancies find play, where
our imaginations are lost in vivid reality
where the impress of Jehoyah's foot is more
sublimely traced than in our fowery meads,
and turfy mOunds-a scene of surprising
grandeur, magnifcently wild. 1t looks
cold, bitter cold, yet our beating hearts grow
warmer as we follow the winnings, and
bounding of the little vessel in its ice
bound home, now in the deep, blue sea, sur
rounded by towering ice mountains, then
Ineased in a snowy mantle with its thous-
and sparkling gems.
No tales of {" Arabian Nights ever
cqualed the thrilling events enacted amid
those floating giants of the deep; no Moor
ish legends ever rivaled in description the
daring exploits of these bold adventures.
But our powers of description fail to por-
tray the beauty of these snowy shrubs and
moonlit mountains of ice, caves, and cav
erns, and glistening glaciers. The foot of
science has left upon them the impress of
her footstep; with one hand she grasps the
icy Pole, with the other she points to the
Polar Star in the glittering canopy above,
then turning with the eye of faith to Him
who rides upon the flood, excfaims: In
wonder Thou hast made them all"

PERsoNAL.--We had the pleasure of meet
ing, yesterday, Mr.. FIELDING JOHNSON, on
bis way from Washington City to his home
in Kansas. Mr.. johnson is numbered among
the lucky applicants having received the
appointment of the Delaware Indian Agen-
CIV. one of the most profitable within the
gift of the Department of the Interior. We
Think Secretary Smith made judicious Sc
lection in this particular, at least, as Mr.
Johnson has long been known as one of the
oldest and most estimable citizens of the
Pocket, prior to his removal to Kansas Ter
ritorY.

Ave per cent. loans on call. The banks of
this city have been ready to resume for
some time, and will do so the moment that
Baltimore follows the Philadelphia resump-
ton.
The Governor of Virginia has seized the
cannon belonging to the Government, and
which were ordered from Bellona arsenal at
Richmond to Fort Monroe. The order was
given only in fulillment of contract and
unless complied with the contractor could
not obtain the amount due to him. The
Virginia Legislature, however, has appro-
priated the amount due to the contractor
from the United States Government which
will be paid him, the property meantime
having been seized by the State, as forcibly
purchased at the assessed value, of the con-
tractor. This is very novel proceeding
The Spanish Minister and Secretary Sew
ard had conference yesterday, on the re-
port that the Republic of San Domingo is
about to be attacked by Spain. The Secre-
tary of State discredited the impression gen.
orally published that there can be any Sc
rious foundation for the statement. The
Spanish Minister has no official informa-
ton of the colonization process, which it is
alleged has been carried on in the Island
for year past. Later and more reliable
intelligence is looked for with great inter-
est.
1t is well remarked that our domestic dis
sessions render vigorous foreign policy al
most impossible for the present, and we
must expect to see but little Difference paid
to our wishes and interests by the naughty
countries of Europe while the Union re-
mains endangered.

TIE ELECTIONS in the various cities from
which we have intelligence seem very gen
orally to have gone against the Republicans
This is not to be wondered at. 1t has loLg
been established that the Republican
strength lay in the rural districts.
IN Cincinnati, by a singular combination
between the Catholics and the old Know
Nothings-who have hitherto denounced
each other with most unsparing ferocity-
the Republicans were defeated by an average
majority of $500. We DO not have the
Gslres by us, but our impression is that
the Democratic and Bell vote, combined, in
that city last fall exceeded the Republi-
can vote by a larger number than
constitutes the present Democratic MON
majority. Neither is it strange that the
present financial distress has influenced
many who are unwilling to study the his
tory of the difficulties for themselves, and
have placed confidence in the slanderons re-
ports circulated by INSCRIPTIONS partisans.
In former times when the contest lay be-
tween the Wings and Democrats, the for
mer always seemed to be the winning side
if the electons'in cities and villages were
to be relied on. But when the yeomany of
the land-the tillers of the soil-were called
on, the Democrats almost invariably sue
ceded. In these days the Republican party
occupies the position formerly held by the
Democracy, while that organization depends
mainly for success-as did the old Wing
party-on the result in the cities.
