ARMY OF POTOMAC.

HBADauARrBRs ARHY OF THE P0roMNC,
August %, Evening.-rne reports published IN
some Of the newspapers tht' the losses Of tue jtn
Corps in the h,ttcs OF the 18Th, 10Th aud 2lst Of
the present month reach live tno isand are greatly
exaggerated II is now definitely ascertuned
that they do not exceed $500, and as srhgglers
and others It'll continue TO come iu, and tue sick
are Lot all accounted for, It is believed tha
the aggregate loss in all these engagements will
cXceeu $780,
The loss of the "a Corps in Thursdays fight
will not exceed an aggreg to of 1870, according
To the ON ta statement; AMI II is believed that
when all who arc now within our lines report,
1900 will cover the entire loss.
The Rebels are said to bs using the Weldon
supplies thence to Petersburg around eur left by
wagons. As this requires large force for train
guards, and to defend the road against the incur
sions of cur cavalry, it cannot he either very
profitable or pleasant means Of communication,
without taking into consideration the loss OF time
involved.
Arrangements have been made, It is under
Stood for burying the Rebel dead left on the
tie d of hst rhursdIy'J Dittlc. Tue ia Il that the
sneny did nut bury their own dead, and tn
they l,ft their SuunOcd on the field, is palpIble
evidence thar, although they drove back the %
or crcdltable ctory. ..
The usual picket firing has occurred to-day
without any results of consequence

THE OH TRADE.

The Oil City Register, in its review Of the trade
for last week, says -"Ihe market mas been
moderately active. Owing to steady ram, the
river has risen several feet, and Is now IN excel
lent boating stage, though falling. The amount
of oil 10 go forward will not be SO great as we
Anticipated last week There were but few boats
up the creek or here that were in order sufficient
90 go up the creek, and the rain has rendered the
roads very heavy. We give as the ruling rate
lO.5O per barrel at the wells, and Sll per barrel
al this point. The production IS steady. Market
closes quiet but firm, and the producers anticl-
pate more active demand in the next few days"
THE LATE OIL DISCOVERY AT sHARrsBURG.
The OH City Register thus accounts for the
late oil discovery at Sharpsburg, TO which alluson
was recently made In the Chronicle. II says ;
1--WE have no desire 70 affect the sale Of oil lands
in that locality, but think the circumstance ad-
mits of easy solution. Sharpsburg has been
used as a depot for oil merchants for several
wears. During most Of that time there have been
many thousands Of barrels Of oil tanked there,
We are satisfied that the oil "struck" by the
Captain was nothing more nor less than the
leakage from these tanks. Petroleum oil will
force is way through gravel beds, such as the
river tanks is generally formed of, to an indeh-
mite distance. Similar effects have occurred 90
several parties who have bored small wells upon
the wharf here. II proved good thing for the
miners, but those who had oil stored on the
wharf failed to appreciate the fun.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE QUEEN
OF SPAIN

WASHINGTON, August 3l.-The State Depart
ment is in receipt OF an official circular from the
Spanish Government introducing some favorable
notifications of the rules observed at the fortress
of Tarlfa and Isla Verde, to oblige vessels navi-
eating the urisdctonal waters ofthese fOrtresses,
to hoist the flag of their nation, practice which
they often neglect, alleging very improbable
ignorance in vessels which 80 repeatedly pass the
Straits
Every vessel which, on crossing the line OF the
fortress, within the range Of its cannon does not
show the flag of her nation, is to be reminded OF
her neglect by the discharge of a cannon loaded
with powder only.
If, after the lapse Of ten minutes, she shall not
have boisted her flag, shotted gun shall be fired
across her PROV. If Notwithstanding these two
notices, the lapse of another ten minutes, she
omis 10 hoist the flag, third discharge Of ball
shall be fred at her masts.
Her Catholic Mdjesty's Minister for Foreign
Affairs says the Queen, in bringing the preceding
dispositions to the knowledge of our Govern
ment, latters herself that the Cabinet of Wash
ngton will find in the measures adopted, fresh
proof of the sentiments of Difference which her
Government entertains for the American nation.
