4 Great Union Speech by Nr. Moore
ScccSsion Deno nced-Ia Indignation
.UetiIg, 81.
RICHMOND. Feb. 26.-A strong speech
was made Ill the Convention yesterday
afternoon by Mr. Moore, of Rockbrdge
county, in favor Of the Union and ag'
gainst secession, which he denounced in
The most emphatic terms.
Mr. Moore represents Governor Letch-
cr's district, and the substance of his
speech was deemed by the seceS.onists
as inimical to the rights of Virginia. the
whole South, and the people of Rich
moud. 1t was decidedly Union in its
tendency, and strongly against the &C.
ton of South CAROLINA.
The seccssionists Immediately posted
bills calling upon every true southerner
TO attend an in Indignation meeting. Mu-
,ic was engaged, and about fifteen hun
drad persons assembled near the tx
change Hotel. strong southern speech
es were made by some of the delegates
% the Convention. Mr.. Wise was call
ed upou, but he was reported as too I'M
well to respond to the call
The meeting then adjourned to the
spo4swood House, where more speeche s
were made of the most revolutionary
character. An attempt was made to
burn Mr.. Moore in eiligy, but the move
ment was stopped by the Mayor.
The whole was decided secession de-
monstration, gotten up by parties enga-
sed in negro selling business and the
interests connected Herewith.

France and the United States.

The Paris correspondent Of the New York
Herald says that at first the news of the Sc
crssion movement in the United States was
received with many expressions OF regret In
France; but that tie feeling now appears 70
be changing to one of satisfaction. This
arises from the idea, which il gaming strength
that Americas difficulty is France oppoitu-
uty.
France 1t is said, sees only her own supre-
macy IN all that is taking place across the
Atlantic. With America in the pleUitude OF
her power, her alliance with England was
full of danger to France. Now that She will
have enough to do in managing her own AZ
fairs, aud that England will be probably con-
vuIscd by the commercial difficulties which
must follow any arrangement in the uuited
States, France may do VIVA. she likes
with her own. She may assemble her ar
mics, her fo,ts, o. demand a Congress. Who
shall say her nay Prussia? Let her look

The Virginia OIL FeVer-Large Sale
Of Lands.

We learn from Parkersburg papers that
during the past week there have been
consumated at Burning springs, Va /.
two extensive sales Of oil handsome en-
bracing portion of the Burning Spring
property. an the other portion Of the
farm immediately opposite, on the souti
bank Of the Little Kanawha river. 1t
appears that Mr.. j. G. Ratbbonc has
sold, or contracted to sell, to Judge Cam
pden, of Clarksburg, and Judge Jackson,
of Parkersburg, and seven others, his
individual title to fifteen and one-hllf of
two thirds interest in two hundred
acres of land, with profit of oue-ninth
of all the leases taken upon it, fDr SlOO-
000-S5, 900 in hand, $40. 900 in six
months, and the residue in twelve mon
tbs.
Messrs Charles Moore and j. T Jack
son, of Weston, and Il Snowlen An
drewS of Baltimore, purchased all of the
interest of 7. W. Henderson aud David
Paden, in--acres of land. on the OPP
posite side OF the river, for $50, 900, and
the Little Kauawha Burning Spring Pc
trolcum Company have siucc purchased
one third interest therein. The latt T
sale is contingent apou oil being found
on the land.
These sales, averaging between fifteen
hundred and two thousand dollars per
acre, (says the Register,) are of land
which one year ago could have been
bought for less than one ,hunjreth part
of their present price. Astonishing us
this may seem, it is yet deemed the grea-
test bargain ever sold in this country, as
should the land continue to yield oil ,
even in moderate quantities, the rents
alone for one year would be worth much
more than the purchase money. The
actual value Of the land can hardly be
computed. The Lewellyn well, for in
stance, which yielded five thousand dol
lars worth Of barrcled oil in ten hours,
would pour out if unobstructed, over q
thousand dollars worth of pure oil in an
hour
