There can be no further room for doubt
= the fact that sherman Is in full posses
mon Of Savannah. Yesterday afternoons
AiDssches psOvs this beyond possibility of
ioubt. and We expect to receive before we
70 20 pres the official telegraPhic an
enouncemant Of the fact. With thAt city
Sherman has u6dodbtedly captured most
SOfthe force hastily assembled there for she
opurpOse Of its defense, and it Is not imPos-
oSsible that Generals Hardee, GustsVus
tiSuith and Cobb have also been taken.
E Thus the grand object Of Sherman
in burning Atlanta and undertaking a
march Of hundreds Of miles through hos
5sEile territory has been successfully con-
osummased. His glorious movement has
snet with the most complete and tri-
Sumphant success. He has moved
Ethrough the very heart of the Confederscy,
demonstrating its hollowness and weak
ness. BE has left desolatiOn and destruc-
ton behind him, and has borne of with
him Thousands Of able-bodied negroes to
: ngnt for the United States instead Of work.
) ing for the Southern Confe derscy. he has
4 has cut the rebellion completely in two, at
: least for the time by the entire destruction
! Of its railroad system, 50 thorough and
' complete, that communication cannot bere-
s established until spring. He has opened
E up the port of Savannah and the large
snd fertile district surrounding it, to com
; merce and decentralization under the
: Federal fsg. More than all, and better
] than all, he has established himself on the
Atlantic, with convenient base for ope-
! rating against Charleston, and within easy
and speedy communication with Grant.
These are some of the grand results Of
the expedition. And it is among the most
encouraging features Of it that all there
were achieved, almost, without the loss OF
a single man or munition of war. We
have not yet received details Of the cap
ture of Savannah, which was probably
attended with some loss. Bnt it is re-
mArkable fact, exhibiting most clearly the
weakness Of the Confederacy, that during
the whole march, Sherman was not once
opposed BY any organized force, and that
the only fighting has been done in those
fugacious skirmishes in which Wheeler s
cavalry has bean driven by Fitzpatrick.
Under these circumstances we are at
6un liberty to rejoice over this great sue
cess of Sherman as one of the most bril-
liant in conception, and successful in &C
complishment, of the whole war. Let US
all unite in the shout "Hurrsh for sher-
MN and his gallant soldiersP

General DIx,s order.

The grand order from General Dix
which unpublished yesterday morning is
worthy Of the man who wrote the words,
since passed into q proverbs "If any
man hsuls down the American flag, shoot
him on the spot" and we are mistaken if
the sentences ordering the military, in cases
of further outrage, to 'shOOt down
the perpetrators on the spot7 and to ''pur-
sue them wherever they may take refuge"
do not become equally popular and pro-
verbal. They atir the blood like the
sound Of bugle.
We are in no fear, as some timid people
may be, that the British Government will
resent this action as an interference with
their rights. They are too well aware of
the fact that their own acts, receiving the
official sanction of their government, have
afforded precedent for just such an order
as this. We cite one Instance. In 1887,
during the aPatriot War" in
Canada, between the British govern
ment and Canadian insurgents, the
steamer q Caroline was used by the Pstri-
ots to carry supplies between Navy Island
and the Canada shore. This purpose,
compared with that which sctuated the
St. Albans raiders, was perfectly iustiAable,
for It contemplated only legitimate war
fare, whereas the latter had in view the
crimes of robbery, arson and murder.
Uo~ovOr, .. Rriish efioor- o=sanizod an OK
pedition against the Caroline, and, at
night, while that vessel was at anchor on
the American shore, crossed the river, and
seized and destroyed the Caroline, killing
one man who was on board. If this does
not form a complete precedent and justifi-
cation for the action contemplated in Cen
eral Di1's order, there is no sucn thing as
D = cedent.

The telegraph on Wednesday morning
announced the passage Of Mr.. MorrilPs
Joint resolution requesting the President
70 give notice to the British Government
of the intention Of the United States to
tsrminste the Reciprocity Treaty. The
history of this measure is as follows T;
During the first session Of the thirty-sixth
Congress, in 1851, President Lincoln sub
mitted to. Congress accommodation of the
modification or termination Of the treaty.
In accordance with this recommendation,
Ar. Ward, of New York, introduced a
joint resolufion in April last, the preamble.
Of which, Fehearsing the reasons for term
mating the treaty, was rnen auoprea.
On Tuesday last the House took up Mr.
Wards original resolution authorizing
the President to give notice of the termin-
alton Of The Treaty and to appoint Com
missioners to negotiate new one. MIR.
Morrill,, Of Vermont, offered q substitute
merely authorizing fhe President to give
notice of the Termination Of the present
sresty, snd making no provision for the
negotiation II new one. The substitute
was agreed to and the resolution was passed
bya vote of s5 to 81. OF the yeas IS
were Unionists and 10 Democrats; of the
nsys, IL UnIonists and 40 Democrats.
We are heartily iu favor Of this resolu
hon, and hope to see it speedily adopted
by the Ssnate. The terms of the treaty,
ss it is st present arranged, bellies its name.
A Reciprocity Treaty should be reciprocal
IN its benefits This treaty gives all the
benefit to Great Britain and the Csnsdas;
none to the UEited States. Under its pro-
visions, nearly all the articles which Can
ada has to sell are admitted to the United
States free Of duty, while heavy duties are
now imposed on many articles which the
people Of the United States have to sell,
with the intention Of excluding them from
Canadian markets. We have allowed
Canada TO reap these advantages for the
ten ysan since the treaty was adopted
but 20 far from being grstsful for them, OF
entertaining friendly feeling toward the
United States, the Canadian authorities, in
their sympathy for traitors 10 our Govern
ment, are willing to outrage all law and
precedent for the protection Of fslons and
murderers. We can not afford TO cur de-
clared enemies the benefits Of the present
Reciprocity Treaty. Mr.. MorriIps joint
resolution, doing away with it, and signif-
Cantly emitting to provide for tho adoption
of a new one, should at occe be adopted.

OH in Carroll ana AGjoinfug Counties.

~-- From the ''CArroll Union Presn.
Quite an excitement Is st present exist
ing in this and the surroun6in ing counties,
over the discovery of what seems to be
fair prospects for oil lands equalling in
value those Of Western Pennsylvania. In
the neighborhood of Wayneiburg, on the
line between this and Stark County, oil
has been discovered in considerable guam
titles. A party was sinking rshsft on the
farm of r. B. Hamilton, in search of coal,
when they had drilled to tho depth of
about eighteen or twenty feet, tho instru-
ment with which they were drilling,
seemed to fall in about one foot
and out came a food, at the Top of the
shaft, completely drenching the men,
and on examination it was found to con-
tain quite an amount of oil. Several more
shafts have since been struck end each time
with like results, and in some instances in
greater quantities. The attention of oil
men is already attracted in this direction,
and tome have examined this and pro-
nounce 1t very similar to that on Oil Greek,
Pennsylvania. The leasing Of land in
that neIghborhood has already commenced.
The oil excitement is not confined TO this
locality. We make the following extract
from our exchanges, showing to what e1-
tent It has been Investigated in the sdjoin-
ing counties. ta r
The Ohio Patriot says: &
There is considerable eIcitment in st.
Clair township on the subject of oil. They
have o well running four barrels per day,
and others on the read, with parties pros
pecting all through the neighborhood. A
farm of one hundred acres has been sold
for ffEy-one thousand dollars, and the sale
rescinded by heirs, who are the owners.
Jesse Duck month ago bought seventy
acres for five hundred dollars, which is said
to worth fifty thousand dollars. ar -
The Buckeye Slate says:a -
A company has been formed in New
Lisbon for the purpose of boring for oil.
The surface indications are excellent, and
we have no doubt that the experiment will
prove successful. The gentlemen compos-
ing the company will give the matter
thorough test.
The Canton Repository says: Gsf
"Anumber Of Pittsburgh capitalists have
bought six hundred acres Of land near this
city, and on Bull Greek, Columbiana coun-
ty, on which there is every Indication of
petroleum oil.
"0n Thursday last company, known
as the FCanton Company was formed

$500, 900. with $4,000 as a working cst,i-

The reported sensation in Canada over
ths release Of the st. Albans Raiders, and
the dissvowsl of the act, is an excellent ex-
ample of diplomacy. The harm is done,
the raiders are at liberty, they have left
Montreal, they are beyond the reach Of jus
tics. Condemnation of their liberation is
ve-y cheap and very convenient, now that
that Liberation is fairly yconsummsted. We
predict that the Judge who delivered the
decision viii be retained IN Office and that
the raiders viii never be recsptured.-
Meantime this general denunciation of the
act, in Canada, though insineere, shows
that It's Outrageous character ia appreciated
