and designs Of the Government Of Brazil
attendant on the seizure Of the pirate
Florida in the harbor of Bahia.
The official Gazette, of the 10Th of OctO-
Der, says that, by French packet, the
Brazilian Government had sent full direc-
tions to its Minister of Legation at Wash
ington, 70 demsnd proper satisfaction for
the conduct Of the commander of the
Waehusett. No documents are, however,
published.
The war continues between Brazil and
Uruguay.
General Flores had appeared before
Monteveido with 5000 men, but retired
without ssssulting the city.
The blockade of Monteveido was or
dered by Brazil, the Brazilian Minister
having given notice thst foreign vessels to
Uruguay would be searched for contrabsnd
eff war.
England denied that there wss war
Brazil being merely engaged in suppress
ing rebellion. So that General Flores Is
not beligerent, but merely rebel in the
eyes of the power which recognizes JEFF.
Davis as belligerent.

Still the demand on him increased, and he
has now banking office at Cory, has
organized the First National bank of that
plsce, the First National Bank st Titusville
aud the Second National Bank at Erie, and
will soon have bank at Pittsburgh, thus
completing the circle.
Such an extended business system un-
der the control of one man is absolutely
startling, and when to this record is added
the fact that Mr.. Culver is but "a years
of age, I doubt if the whole country can
furnish its parallel. The control of 80
large an amount of the currency of the
country in one mans hands might well ex-
cite fear, were It not that that the name
and reputation Of O. V. Culver is sufficient
guarantee against the slightest tsint of
distrust or dishonor. With all this, Mr..
Culver is modest and retiring, making no
display of his wealth and no boast Of his
achievements. The best evidence Of the
estimation in which he is held by the peo-
PIE of this region Is found in the fact that
when in, September last, successive days
hsd been spent IN the effort to select
nominee for Congress from the several can
didates, the delegates from the counties Of
Crawford, Vensngo, Clarion and Mercer
turned with common consent to Mr.. Culver
and begged him 10 accept the nomination,
the voters rstifying the choice by tremen-
dous majority. I do think that this
election will prove national blessing, for
in the days OF Reorganization after a sue
cessful termination of the present war, our
country viii have need of all the men of
such financial power and ability that it can
get.
1 have but little space remaining in
which to speak of Mr.. CulveFs immediate
connection with oil enterprises. although,
while he has done more, financially, than
any other one man, to develope3 this i'm
mense business, he has also been one of the
most shrewd and successful operators. He
organized the Venargo Oil Transportation
Company, for handling and storing oil,
and has some of the finest store-houses and
docks in New York city. One of his
wsre-houses-two hundred and twelve feet
square, and fire proofs now used for
storing bonded refined oil. This enterprise
has been a great success, but reserve for
some future letter any detailed account Of
his oil enterprises.
Ny sketch has grown to greater length
than was intended, but whst record it
presents of the accomplishments Of energy,
sagscity and determination will only
add that there is not in Western Pennsyl-
vsnis, to-day, more popular or q more
respected man than the Hon. @. V. Culver

A debate ensued, in which the subject

Mr.. Schenck said that the Committee on

The morning papers have nothing from
Sherman.
The HsraIGs City Point correspondence
of the 18th says:
The notorious rebel scout, William E..
Waterbury, of the Sd North Carolina
Regiment of Cavalry, was mortally wound
ed on Thursday last Waterbury hiss
been long known to our authorities as
vigilAnt and troublesome scout, with
bravery enough to venture into our camps
and sufficient sagacity to avoid detection
and elude pursuit. He has infested the
country between the james river and our
left beyond Petersburg all summer. All
tempts to entrsp him have hitherto failed.
Small parties have been sent in his pursuit
but he could never be overtaken or identi-
ed. But few weeks ago he came to the
Wells Heuse, one morning before sunrise,
and seriously threatened the capture of q
safeguard; this within half range of three
Union forts, and said to be within Mimic
range of General Meade's headquarters.
It appears Waterbury came to our pickets
dressed in Union uniform, representing
himself as one Of our soldiers, and request
ing to be directed to his regiment. Con.
trary to his expectations soldier was sent
with him as guide. On the way he in
duced the guide to halt to drink, when ne
seized his musket and made him follow as
q prisoner. At night he fell asleep while
guarding the Union soldier, who, in turn
seized the musket and shot him.

On the motion of Mr.. Cofroth, the Com
mittee on Military Affairs were instructed
to inquire as to the expediency of amend
ing the enrolment act, so as to allow any
person drafted to put in substitute at any

ed, to be credited TO any part of the Con-
erosion 81 District in which the person
resides at the time the substitute is accept
ed.
During brief discussion on sppIopria-
tions for printing-papsr for the Govern
ment Printing Bureau, Mr.. PRICE,
of Massachusetts, said ther3 was no
evidence to show that paper msnutsc tur-
ers have combined to advance the price of
paper. He had heard it charged, but he
had never got at the substantial facts.
One reason for the high prize was the
scarcity, and tax on the new material
Mr.. Washburn said the duty on paper
is prohibitory. He had understood from
the best authority that there is q combins-
ton of paper manufacturers who control
the whole matter, and who have brought
up the prices from twelve and fifteen to
twenty-five and twentd-siI cents per
pound. That there has been such an ad-
vance IN paper Inc SehbIoHan cOul1 HOb
deny.
Mr.. Davis said this was the result in
part Of tax on raw material and the rate
Of foreign exchange.
Mr.. Washburn, resuming, said: He
knew Of q case where one-half of q paper
mill, in Illinois, was offered for sale for
$4,000, because they say it viii pay an
interest of 40 per cent. The tax on pa
per is tax on knowledge, and will de-
stroy many of the newspapers Of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Morrill, asked the gentleman: How
high is the tariff on psper2
Mr.. Wsshburn replied that it wss high
enough TO prevent any paper from being
imported. He thought it was twenty per
cent. payable in gold. The Committee
then arose, the House then passed the de.
hoiency bill and adjourned.

a Model Composition.

To boys and girls, who are perplexed
to know what to write about, and how to
write it, when required by their teacher
to bring composition" We commend the
following model:
WINTER-Winter. is the coldest sea-
son of the year, because it comes in the
winter. In some countries winter comes
in summer, and then it is very pleasant. l
wish winter came in summer in this coun
try. Then | could 60 skating barefoot, and
slide down the hill in linen trowsers We
could snow ball without our fingers getting
cold-and men who 20 out sleigh riding
wouldn't have to stop at every tavern to
warm, as they do now. 1t SHOWS more in
winter than it does in any other season of
the year. This is because so many cutters
and sleighs are made at that time.
Ice grows much better in winter than
summer, which was an inconvenience be-
fore the discovery of ice houses. Water
that Is LETT out of doors is apt to freeze
at this season. Some people take in their
wells and cistern on a cod night, and
keep them by the fire, so they do not
freeze.
Skating is great fun in winter. The
boys get their skates on when the river is
frozen over, and race, play tag, break through
the ice and get wet all over (they get
drowned sometimes,) fall and break their
heads, and enjoy themselves in many other
ways. A wicked boy once borrowed nv
skates and ran off with them, and couldn't
catch him. Mother said judgment would
overtake him one day. judgment will
have to be pretty lively on its legs if it does,
for he runs bully.
There amt much sleigh riding except
in the winter-iolks don't seem to care
much about it in warm weather The grown
boys and girls like to go sleigh riding.
The boys generally drive with one hand,
and help the girls to hold their muffs with
the other. Brother Bob let me 90 along
little way once when he took Celia Crane
out sleigh riding, and l thought he paid
more attention to holding the muff than he
did to holding the horses.
Snow balling is another sport. | have
snow balled in summer, but we used stones
and hard apples. 1t isn't SO amusing as
1t is in winter somehow
But enough I have dashed off these
little things about winter while sister is
getting ready for school. Good bye.
