oil InteIIigence.

On almost all the streams in Greene county the
lands have already been leased with a view TO
explorations for coal oil; and on one particularly,
called Dunkards, the developments have been of
the most encouraging character. The editor of
the Waynesburg (Pa.) Messenger, in referring to
the subject, after careful personal inspection of
the region and the operations that are now taking
place there, says
1--WE are honestly Of opinion that when capital
and enterprise shall have developed the lands
along the creek, that locality will be found to
compare, in the extent of its oil production, with
the Venango district while In the purity, gravity,
and value of the oil, il is acknowledged TO be int
nitely superior. Our convictions on this subject
are based upon actual knowledge and observation
of both regions, and of the geological formations
and su ace indications We are gratifed TO learn
that we are not alone in these favorable impress
5ions and auguries.
"Scientific men and experienced and practical
oil operators concur in them, and are investing
literally of their own means, and directing the
attention of capitalists 10 the promising character
OF the Dunkard country. Already several large
companies have been organized in Pittsburg and
the East, which will soon commence operations
on an extensive scale, In the meantime, ind-
Vidual energy and local enterprise are doing
much TO deyelope that favored locality. New
derricks spring up every few days, and the pro-
cess OF sinking wells goes on In many instance
wlthont interruption, night or day.

The Philadelphia Age of Thursday is so good
as TO advise the World to do what the IT0rld has
always done, avoid occasions OF strife in the
Democratic party. 1t is also kind enough to
inform us that "Pennsylyani, makes Presidents" ;"
II Pennsylyan will make General Mcclellan
President we shall he infinitely pleased; bat as
the Age, which is liberal Of irs advice TO other
people, will hardly quarrel with US for returning
It's favofs We beg leave 70 suggest that il the Age
expects 10 do its part faithfully towards the good
work, it will be well for its conductors 20 vase
nothing of their energies upon tho entirely super.
fiuOus business Of editing the IYOrH. They will
do better 10 strive to equal the IFoyltES circula-
ton in the Keystone State, and then use il 90 as
much purpose.
There is no quarrel going on in the Dsom of
the New York Democracy. There are not a
dozen honest democrats in the city able to walk
to the polls who will not vote for Mr. Mcclellan
and PendletOn in November neXt. We shah be
abundantly satisfied II Pennsylvanil sh Ill come

THE MILITARY ASPECT.


Appearances in war are proverbillly deceptive.
The day may dawn in peaceful quiet, AID the
evening fall upon field of blood. Operations
may seem to have come to a long pause, when
suddenly there is the fierce resumption of hostili-
ties. At this moment the general public are
quite incapable Of forming any opinion as TO tho
chances OF speedy activity on the part of either
of our two main armies, or what will be the char.
acter and direction Of the movements which
Grant and Sherman will next attempt.
1t is common to represent Sherma campaign
asclo'ed by the capture Of Atlanta. That tru ph
did, in one sense, end The campaign; but in large
sense, Sherman's campaign cannot be said to ne
closed uutll he destroys the army Of Hood. The
geographical objective was Atlanta and that is
ours the real body at which he sruck was
Hoods army, and that has still, in some shape, a
vital andtsuhstHniiye existence. IL was assure1ly
fearfully crippled even before the fall of Atlanta
and il staggered back from that place In dismay
and panic But it still waits for the death. bio "
which will send It reeling into the last ditch, on
the verge OF which it now stands That death
blow Sherman vii, we believe, give it, with energy
before tue SHOWS of Winter fall upon the
mountains OF Upper Georgia.
As 10 Grant, some people think he Is " stuck"
III such were tue case, il would be something
novel in the military history and career OF Gene
raj Grant. He has certainly most difficult and
stupeTdouS work before him But no one who
has read lntelligently the Rebel articles we have
lately given in profusion will DOUBT that he il
progressing in his work. He is bearing on them
with pressure all hut deadly. Lees army feels
ii. Richmond feels il.
The eutire Southern ConCederacy feels It. But
II is difficult for careless observers at this point TO
see it; and the loud and boasting tone of the
Rebels Is calculated to deceive as to the facts
The Rebels tell that Grant is now receiving
heavy reinfOrcements 10 his army, and that he is
throwing them ever TO his left We take their
xIyOE6 nm hes aud k,s. 81
fact large hope for swift approaching future. If
Grant be properly reinforced we shall this autumn
see Lees army staggering around Virginia as we
now behold the wretched army of Hood reeling

The official correspondence in the Gliding
case was presented to the House yesterday
from which II appears that Redpath, wht
caused the arrest OF the Consul General on
suit Of s90, 900 damages, was a tool In the hand
of secession sympSthlzers, induced and actually
driven to file an affidavit to commence a sui
by an editor and other rank secessionistS. Il
Is stated that 1t is well understood all over
Canada as a vexatious proceeding, designed to
Insult the United States, AID crafty spite at
Mr.. Giddings. 1t seems that Redpath, the day
before the suit commenced, visited the Consul,
denied the rumor that he intended to institute
proceedings, and actually whinod and cried
over his destituton, and received charity from
the Consul, who also recommended him to tn,
charity of others.

lowing sentiments, by.a perusal Of recent de

It Is astonishing on what a small capital OF

gress are now trading. II is hardly a year ago
that they were arrogatlng to themselves all The

on the strength, we suppose, OF being the
special recipients OF the stores Of wisdom cir

sion Of Political Knowledge; but now thew con-

ExpOrtatlon Of Live stock to Canada

From communications made to the House
yesterday, in answer to a resolution, 1t appears
that the expectation of live stock, (horses, cat.
tie, sheep, and swine,) has been as brisk the
last year as ever, notwithstanding the order
against expectation Of arms and military sup,
plies, which was intended to embrace horses
and butchers stock. Mr.. Chase expresses
surprise at the magnitude Of the figures report.
cd by the Governor General of Canada, and
appears determined that SO gross negligence
or misapprehension OF custom-house officials
shall be reformed. It seems that the operation
of the order was in part remltted for the Pa
cihc coast. The correspondence grew out OIL
the loss Of some Canadian buyers by custom
house seizures, at the suspension bridge, when
il was shown that other custom-house officers
had ignored the order.

ARRIVAL OF pEsKhTERs FROM
LEES ARMY,

About three O'Clock this afternoon forty-one
fine looking men, deserters from Lees army,
having Just arrived in the city, marched up
Pennsylvania avenue, withouta guard, en- route
to the Provost Mar.hal's. They Informed us that
they were conscrpted six weeks ago, have
never seen battle, and escaped through the
rebel plckcts and across the Rapidan, about
siT days since. They say they are all loyalIsts
and seek protection under the Government.
This is one Of the straws that tell the course OF
the current
