RECRUITS FOR FIRST Iowa CAvALRY.-Ol
Tuesday of this week, two hundred and eighty
recruits passed through this place for the First
Iowa Cavalry. They were fine, healthy, ro-
bust set of men, and will, unquestionaby, make
quite an addition to that excellent regiment -
The LIST Iowa is now filed full to the maximum
number, ], 247 men. g..s-as -rGer ny. Fs
There are reported upwards Of ten hundred
and fifty men fit for duty, and if that regiment
should ever have the luck to find 9 foe that will
stand fight with it, it will make more than its
number bite the dust before it will surrender, or
turn it's back to the enemy. Gen Heron justly
regards it the most efficient and gallant cavalry
regiment in the Western Department, and ez-
poets much from it this winter. We will 60 its
security that his expectations will be fully real
ized. GSpringfeld Missourian.

From the SHENANDOAH valley.

NEW YORK, Dec 10.-The papers contain no
specials from the army of the Potomac what is
thought to be accurate information. It puts the
entire rebel force in the Shenandoah Valley at
about 1000 under the command of General
Jones They consist of Virginia cavalry and
Whites Louisiana Tigers. e. :
+ It is understood that there are between
5000 and 1000 sick and wounded rebels in the
towns from Woodstock to Staunton. This force
is undoubtedly left in the Valley to prevent any
raids for the purpose of paroling them.

GREAT DESTRUCTION OF OIL.-Last week
we noticed.the destruction of large quantity
of crude carbon oil, worth perhaps $4,000, in
one of the artificial "pond freshets" on Oil
Creek, by which the oil is run down to the riv.
er. We now have to record far more serious
loss, amounting to over $500, 0O0iwhich occur
led on Sundsyinight. 10.
The recent rise had brought down the creek
to Oil City, an immense quantity of oil, the &C.
emulation of months, about 50, 900 barrels in
all. This was chiefly in bulk " pumped into
tight barges for floating down the iiver) though
there were also several thousand barrels The
boats as they reached the mouth, were secured
on either bank Of the river, below the creek, in
what is known has :" the eddy" and the accu-
mutation Of the craft on both sides so blocked
the river as to leave but narrow channel
When the sudden "cold snap" of Saturday
and Sunday came on, this narrow channel froze
over and the ice gorged from above, while the
water either under or over the boats, exerted
| such an immense pressure as to break the boats
from their mooring and set them afoat. The
scene Of confusion which followed cannot be
described, as the frail boats piling one upon
another, three deep, we're crushed and broken
letting out their oily treasure, while the river
was dotted for great distance with barrels
tossed about until their contents were ais
spread over the serface Of the water. Some
barge loads of oils and numbers of barrels wer
of coursesaved, but all accounts agree upon tn
fact that at easttwo.thirds of the oil is lost
The accident occurred on Sunday night At
last accounts the aggregate had run up to 40, {.
600 barrels lost-valued at not less than $3.50, =
900. One firm, Shreve, T;lson & Co., lost A.
600 or 5000 barrels, q Mr.. Titus 700, Dennis
& Sumner probably 200 and other smaller
lots. The Columbia Oil Co., Toby Oil Co., and
Smith & Weston are also named as heavy losers

and the decapitated Mcclellan is quickly noted
by the troops. They see in Burnside the most

any officer beneath him. He gives the most
assiduous personal attention to the details of
his army work, and knows everything that is
going 90. have seen him every day this
week, sometimes alone and again attended by
only q single orderly, making his tour of bust
ness through the camps to the landings, off on
the steamer, travelling as unceremoniously as
any other passenger, and taking his meals
when he can catch them. He has the same
earnest. energetic manner that you see in
every thorough business man. His personal
staff and escort, except on very rare occasions
do not ride at his back he despises ostentation.
He sends his staff officers each to his appo-
pirate work, and you willsee them about the
army at all times, carrying out earnestly the
