Union Prisoners at AndersonviIIe, Ga

Y
The Augusta (Ga.) ConStitutiondkst says
From gentleman lately from Andersonville, and
who, from his acquaintance with the officials there,
is in position to speak knowingly, we learn that
the statement of three hundred Yankees having
died one warm day last month, which has been
going the rounds of the press, is incorrect. The
greatest mortality on any one day has never
exceeded one hundred and twenty. seven, and
though, in comparison with the statement referred
to, this may seem slight loss, few words will
show that 1t Is, in reality, almost appalling.
There are now at Andersonville over thirty thou
sand prisoners, and at the rate of one hundred
and tweny-seyen per day, the deaths would
amount to one in every two hundred and thirty
seven.
Did the same ratio of mortality prevail in New
York, computing the population of that city at
100000, the deaths there would mount up TO
1886 per day-more than elk tim the real num-
Der. The greatest mortality amo0g,t our prison
ers in the North, occurred at Alton, Illinois,
where, among 70O0 the loss was twenty-seyen per
day, or one in every Ill. The difference between
The mortalities North and South, is due, however
less to any difference in Tdtions or treatment than
to that utter prostration of mind and body which
overwhelms the Yankee, but against which the
Confederate soldier bears up as brAyely rs If
facing the bullet and bayonet in the field.

The college term at Amherst has begun.
The members Of all the old classes are back again
save one who was killed. and four others who
have enlisted during vacation. The number ad-
mitted to college is ffy-two-fully as many as
were expected, ana the same number as last year.
All the heavy work on the college chapel is now
done, and the finishing work is going rapidly for
ward. In a few weeks the recitation rooms can
be ready for use.

wrALrm OF THE KEYSTONE STATE
HER COAL OIL WELLS.


Nature is most bountiful in her provision
for the wants of mankind. When her sup
plies fail in one quarter, she reviyes them in
another, and occasionally in a strange and
marvellous manner. 1t was just about the
time that the whale fishery began to decline in
prosperity, and that the receipts Of oil from
that source were falling vastly short of the
growing demand for It, that the discovery of
coal oil was made in the northwestern sec
tion Of this State. Nothing in geological
history has been more curious and
Interesting than the fountains Of rich
Oleagenous liquids which are seen spout
ing up In profuse and apparently ex-
haustless streams, from the bowels of the earth
in Venango county. The product varies in
amount according to location; some wells
yielding as much as eight hundred barrels Der
day, while others produce no more than Ave
or six. Some wells again flow spontaneously.
like a natural spring Of water, but with a
force that sends the jet Of oil to a considerable
height above the mouth Of the well; while
Others, which are called 'pumplng-weIls," and
which, Of course, are not so valuable, yield oil
oaly by means of suction.
When che coal oil discovery was first made
