Enrolment Lists.

Every citizen Of Kanawha County md
of this District should make it his bust
pess to help correct this list so far as he
may be able. Not only should every
man liable to draft who moves into his
peighborhood, or becomes Of age, be re.
ported-but those who are not liable,
from. the various causes, should have
their, names stricken off at once, and
thus save much delay when the draft is
ordered. Besides, us each Districts
quota is in proportion to the number of
men enrolled. it is evident that there
should be pono on the lists not really
liabla to draft. See to it at once.

Then and Now.

In June, 1861, before Gen. Wise's
forces came into the Valley, the follow
ing warning and assurance appeared in
the R9'udltcan:
"Thc people on the other side Of the
Ohio may be assured that in case Of an
invasion, or any wantou assault or inter
ference from them, the people Of this rai.
leg ~iH be a mit IN its defence"
It also assured the people Of Green.
bricr that the Yankees "would have to
march over the dead bodies Of every
Union man in the valley" before they
could reach them.
Noo tho Republican claims to be
Union; but unfortunately for its consis.
tcncy, it was lead; in its last issue, into
tho defence Of avowed Sympathizers,
against tho attacks Of "Moses," in our
columns! Come, Mr.. Newton, please
explain hop Union man can consist

The New York and West Vir-
ginia Oil Company"

In passing up street wc now observe
on tue front door Of one Of tho rooms
of the old "Iumau House" just, above
<hc Upper Ferry, this sign" The New
York and West Virginia Oil Company's
Office" We believe it i, the first reg.
Mar Office opened in the place for any Of
the oil companies now operating in the
Valley, and as this is rapidly growing
interest, and this Company the pioneer
company, it may not be uninteresting to
our readers to be Informed 10 regard to
their operations. The Company is COM
posed Of Gen. Crook, Gen. Avcrill, and
Capt. \. W. Gregg, Of the United States
Army, Horatio F. Averill, ESQ, of New
York City, Oscar J. Averill, of Bath
n. Y, and other prominent gentlemen
Of New York and West Virginia.
They commenced through Capt. Jos,
c. Wheeler, late Provost Marshal Of this
Congressional District, and other agents,
taking leases, before there was much
excitement about oil 10 the Valley.
They have thus secured large mum
Der of leases on the choice oil territory
lselected by Capt. Gregg, practical
Geolosist,) in the Valleys Of Kanawha,
Elk and Pocotalico rivers and their
tributaries.
They now have several surveyors en-.
ployed in mapping their territory, pre-
paratory to boring, and will probably
commence shortly after the Holidays.
There is probably no stronger Com
pany than this one operating 10 the
Valley; and they have uniformly made
liberal propositions to the land holders,
and in no instance taken advantage Of
their want of knowledge Of the oil bus
mess, as they might have done in many
cases.
Those desiring to have the experiment
made upon their land, would do we'll to
call on this Company.

Of our representative in Congress to the
subject Of our mails iu this section. A

opening Of the route from Karawha G.

route, and they need mail faoilities.-
The route is safe from guerillas, and
