Up TO 1853 the progress Of the petroleum
iIado astOnishcd everybody. But that OF the
past year has exceeded all expectation. IL is
evident the wells have no bottom. What the
product for the year ha9bccn we cannot say. 1t
may BIO that in tho excitement of a highly pros
porous business no accurate account has been
kept. But the CusLOm-IIouse figures give
some indication. Petroleum is exported
10 every country in the world in 1861 we
shipped l,ll2, 40 gallons; in 1862 it rose TO
l0,So7, 70I gallons, aud in 1863 it. reached the
extraordinary quantity of -, 000O 900. OF this
total, 1854 ,GW gallons were shipped from thi.
port In addition TO this foreign export, the
home demand is enormous. Though the whole
business Is strictly new one, yet it has already
assumed shape aud stability. Ships for convoy
ing il to England are constructed oil tight, and
thc barrels emptied directly into the hold, thus
caryng it in bulk. The export Of last year
employed what was equal TO 30 ships oi 1000
tuns each, and was worth near 3l5, 900, 900 if
refined, or about 81, 100000 if crude. The eE-
port for this year is estimated at 10000 900
gallons.
Refined coal oil is now As colorless a. water,

LOYAL tIstHCIEs ~ THE HECOY-
Erred SLAVE STATES.

We learn that important movements are
going ON in the Pro.Shycry Churches of that
port JON of the Seeded States which has been
recovered by the National armies All the
citizens who have either remained loyal to the
Union cause. or have become Uuioni,ts since
fl, establishment of the Federal authority,
are DESTROYS to separate themselves from those
Pro-shyrry Churches which have been the most
ardent promoter, and supporters of the Rebel
lion. \ large number OF them are expressing
, wish to connect themselves with the Church
organizations Of the Free States. To promote
tins movement, the War Department has trans
t,rf,d a number of Methodist and Baptist
Churches, which have been abandoned by their
Secession pastors, to the care OF the Bishops
OF the Methodist Episcopal Church and
the American Baptist Home Missionary
Sp.i,,y. Both are now eycrtng themselves To
uIJuf loyal Methodist aud Baptist Churches m
the Slave States. Bishop Anne, OF the Meth
odi,t Episcopal Church has recently visited
Ntw-Orlcans, and temporarily supplied tlIc,
churches i'm Ncw-OricauS, one IN Memphis, one
IN Little Rock, one in Pine BlUii.. one IN NlcA-
burg, one in Natche2, and one in Baton Rouge.
1t is, obviously, highly probable that this ccor.
.ipsDical movement viii 90 hand in hand viii
thr Free state movements in the slave states
and ID deserves therefore to he recommended To
thr special attention of all the Au,i-Slaycy
Churches OF the North. Combined and cncr
e,lr effort, on their part might greatly aid IA
r>trmting not only Slavery but Pro-SIayerl
sentiments in the Slave States.

The Herald has sketch Of tho
of Sherman and Hood
SINCE September, when Hood COM
menced his flank movement. by No
vember, the Herald says, tho Army Of
the Tennessee had left Rome, and
was en- route to Atlanta. On Novem-
Der 4th, the 9th corps, the l4th, 18th,
10th, 18th and 20th had been concens
trated at the last-named city, and
preparations were being made to be-
gin the march. Sherman felt in the
highest spirits, and autographed his
intentions in these remarkable words:
Hood has crossed the Tennessee
Thomas will take care of him and
Nashville, while Schofeld will not let
him into Chattanooga or Knoxville
Georgia and South Carolina are at
my mercy, and i shall stride. DO not
be anxious about ME, am all right"
This is his adicu. Rebel papers al
ready announce that he has started
on his march. Where is he going

After all, II is with the press itself
to command the respect its members
should receive. This profession of
journalism is becoming one of the
greatest in the world. 1t is in har-
mony with our free institutions, and
it will flourish. The greatest thing
on this earth, in the way of systema-
TIED genius, energy, elegance and
pluck, is the London Times. We hate
it, for, all it, magnificent power is
against this government; but this hate
is tribute to that Power. TO our
enemies it has been greater than
armies or fleets, or the aid Of foreign
Powers. In America we are rivaling
England. We have the great dailies
of New York; in the West, journals
which almost equal them in wealth
and power. The men who WELD this
power have q solemn duty. So great
u trust should be a sacred trust, and,
as from year TO year it grows in inn
portance and dignity, we should be
more jealous Of its influence and
glory. r
