Carroll County,

Quite an excitement isat present exist
ing in this and the surrounding counties over
the discovery of what seems to be fair pros
poets for oil lands eqlaling in value those
Of Western Pennsylvania. In the neighbor-
hood of Waynesburg, on the line between
this and Stark County, Oil has been discoy-
cred in considerable quantities. A party
was sinking shaft on the farm of Il. B.
Hamilton, in search of coal, when they had
drilled to the depth Of about IS or 20 feet,
the instrument with which they were drill,
ing, seemed to fall in about one foot, and
out came a food at the top Of the shaft,
completely drenching the men, aud an ex.
animation it was found to contain quite an
amount of oil Several more shafts have
since been struck and each time with like
results, and in some instances in greater
quantities. The attention OF oil men alrea-
dy attracted in this direction, and some have
examined this and pronounce it very similar
to that on Oil Creek, Pa. The leasing OF
land, in that neighborhood has already com
menced, -Uulo0, -.

Gunboats orr the Lakes.

The notice which Mr.. Lincoln has served
upon the Government Of Great Britain, that
after next April tho United States will not
be bound BY the treaty that forbids each
party keeping, more than one gunboat on
each OF the lakes is causing some sensation
in Canada. The Toronto Leader calls upon
the British Government to take immediate
steps to put a fleet Of gunboats to meet any
that we may have in readiness. 1t charges
that IN anticipation, we are now building
vessels that will soon be ready to launch,
and that Great Britain should sent a feet
out from England for lake service early ia
the Spring. With two rival and hostile
fleets upon tho lakes. the chances of an
armed collision between the two countries
will be greatly. increased, The cases of trou.
bio are multiplying. 1CW. Enq.

To Major General Halleck, Chicf of STAFF:
Capt. Duncan, of General Howard S
Scouts has Just come in from General
Howard, having descended the Ogeechee
River in small boat.
He lett the army on tho evening of the
9th. Gen. Sherman's whole army was then
within ten miles of Savannah, advancing to
attack it. The enemy's works, five miles
from the city, were probably attacked yes
terday, as heavy firing was heard in that
direction.
Capt. Duncan represents the army to be
in the best spirits possible, end in most ex-
cellent condition. Very little opposition
was met with on the march, as the enemy
could not tell which route Sherman was ta-
king.
His army has lived off the country, and
has accumulated considerable numbers of
horses and cattle. The army is well sup
piled. The following is copy of the dis
patch brought by Capt. Duncan:

General Orders No. 81.
Information having been received at these
headquarters that the rebel marauders who
were guilty of murder and ROBBERY at St.
Albans have been discharged from arrest
aud that other enterprises are actually iii
preparation in Canada, the commanding
general deems it due to the people of the
frontier towns to adopt the most prompt
and efficient measures for the security Of
their lives and property. All military COM
manders in the frontiers are therefore in
structcd in case further acts Of depreciation
and. murder are attempted, whether by
uaiauders or persons acting under commits
sion from the rebel authorities at Richmond,
to shoot down the perpetrators. if possible,
while in the commission Of their crimes; or
if it be necessary, with view to their cap
ture, to cross the boundary between the
United States and Canada. Said comman-
ders are hereby directed to pursue them
wherever they may Ike refuge, aud if cap
tured, they are, underno circumstances, to
be surrendered, but are to be sent to these
headquarters for trial and punishment by
martial law
The Major General commanding the de-
partment will not hesitate to exercise to the
fullest extent the authority he possesses un-
der the rules of law recognized by all civil.
ized States in regard to persons organizing
hostile expeditions within neutral territory
and fleeing to it for an asylum atrer com
mitting acts of depreciation within our own;
such an exercise Of power having become
indispensable to protect our cities from in
cendiarism, and our people from robbery
and murder. 1t is earnestly hoped that the
inhabitants of our frontier districts will alb
stain from all acts of retaliation on account
Of the outrages committed by rebel marau-
ders and that the proper measures of re-
dress will be left to tie action of the public
aushorities. .rH,
