HALF A MILLION SOLDIERS.

When, after the fall of Sumter, the Pres
ident called for seventy-fve thousand vol
untesrs, the whole country was startled at
the vastness of the proposed army. Such
prodigious force had never before taken the
field on this continent; and the proclama-
tion calling it out, struck many persons,
particularly, it was said, jeff. Davis Cabi-
net, as bit of ridiculous though perfectly
harmless braggadocio. The chivalry laughed
consumedly at the idea Of seventy five thou
sand of even the poorest troops being raised
from among the regular mudslll Democracy
of the free States and our English cousin
also ridiculed the assumption that the
peaceful and commercial people of the
North would ever raise such an army to
fight for so shadowy thing as the unity of
the Republic, particularly when no dollars
were to be made by it. 1t was seriously
feared by some, too, that Congress would
hardly ratify the Presidents action in cal
ling to arms such an unprecedented force.
But five times seyeHty-five thousand men
are already in arms, and a patriotic Cong
ress now empowers the President to call
into service grand Amy of half million
soldiers. If needed, this gigantic army of
five hundred regiments will be in the field,
ready for active service against whatever
foe, before the close of next mouth. More
than that number of regiments have already
applied to be accepted-not obtained by
conscription or compulsion, or by the tricks
of the recruiting sergeant, but who have
striven earnestly for the honor of bearing
aloft the banner which symbolizes all that
dear to man. Behind these, too, stand
more than five times that number, eager to
spring into the ranks as their comrades fall,
and ready to encounter any foe in behalf of
the cause for which they fight. No one
either at the South or across the water, will
henceforth doubt the warlike power and
energy Of these Free States and if the
grand army shall, as we believe they WILL
before next Spring, conquer every rebellieus
State, garrison every Southern city and fort
and dispose effectually of the chief conspir-
ators, the military power of the Republic
will be established on basis that will be II

Union, whether on this continet or any

Another Curiosity.


On Monday, when the drilling in The well
of Mr.. G.. T. Hull. proprietor of the Eagle
Hotel, had reached the depth of 3l3 feet, the
drill stuck fast. By the application of a little
extra force. it was loosened, when water &C
COMMANDED with gas, was forced out of the top
of the well. The drill was Withdrawn, and
up to this time, the water is being thrown up
out of the top of the well. in regular beats,
and at the rate of about a barrel every two
minutes. The election of the water is accom-
panied with considerable noise, and a strong
odor of gas. The wooden trunk which reaches
down some twenty feet from the surface, is
about eight inches square, while the hole in
the rock beneath is only three inches in diam
eter. We have no doubt but that if the wood
en- trunk was of the same size of the hole be-
low, the water would be forced to the heighth
of fifteen or twenty feet above the surface.
The water is thrown up with so much force
yesterday, for the purpose of drilling deeper,
the iron rods sunk only to the depth of about
100 feet, and the attempt was abandoned, for
the present.
To crafty our curiosity, Mr.. Hull placed an
barrel (the lower head being OUT
over the well for two or three minutes, then
Withdrawing it and placing a board covered
with an oilclOth ever the lower end, was car
ried a few steps from the well and placed upon
the ground. A piece of paper was set on fire
and placed near the bottom of the barrel,
which was then cautiously tipped, leaving an
aperture of an inch, when the gas ignited and
shot up a clear flame, to the beighth of ten or
feet. At the first experiment of burn
the gas, a couple of gentlemen had their
and eyebrows handsomely singed.

the citizens of Vernon and a Methodist preach

well written article in answer to this, from a
reliable citizen of Vernon, and a personal
friend of our own, which gives a somewhat
different version of the affair. 1t is in the
same style of the first mentioned article. is a
musing. and would without doubt interest
readers in the vicinity of Vernon, but it is
quite too personal, and reflects too severely up
on the preacher. The first was quite caustie
enough upon him, aud though it was a littls
more so upon the citizens who opposed him,
still as they are many and he only one, they
can bear . little sharp satire, whether said or
printed, and laugh at it because it does not eff

mount might do any single individual, much
harm. aA.aaS, ta tr
