The property of the Drake Petroleum Company
consists OF two tracts Of land, Of two hundred and
hny'seven acres and one OF two hundred and sixty
i've acres making in all, five hundred and twelve
acres, in fee on the Cadwul Branch of Oil Crock.
The property has been critically examined by a
Committe appointed for that purpose AMI the tori
tory pronounced, in their Judgement, TO be fully
equal to that of Oil Creek, along which the largest
oil wells ever discovered have been found,
The lands resemble those on Oil Crock, IN every
particular, and it is believed from the large number
of oil springs in close proximity, that valuable wells
will be opened on both these tracts,
The management have already secured several
Engines and engaged competent Superiut endent,
with aview to imn4etiate and an epeFseio develop
ment,
A large portion of these tracts is bottom, and
admirably adapted for boring
Several Compsnys are organized on lands I'M
mediately adjoining this territory, among which are
the Briggs and Crescent City Oil Companies OF PAia-
dophia.
In presenting the Drake Petroleum Company TO
the public, the Directors ask that their scheme
should be examined, ane subscriptions made to Tue
Stock in fuu iuh as to It's present and prospective
value.

The New York Ttduae, Of Tues day says;
1--WE expect to hear Immediately that Lee
has again fallen back, and that Grant is pres
sing on his rear The contest has passed
into one Of endurance, and in that the supe-
riority ofNorthem steadiness and vaIor will
sooner or latgr show itself decisiyely. But
such struggle is awful to contemplates more
than a week ofincessant marching and fight
ing, three great battle, catalogue of killed
and wounded estimated at the ghasty num-
ber OF 10000 on o,W side alone. Yet the
matchless soldiers who leads our arnless fa-
theirs not for moment and never for a mo
ment finds his troops reluctant to advance.
If Waterloo was q battle Of giants as Vel
lington said, what is this?'
The battle field correspondent Of the I1t.:
Jrne says:
In so horrible strife it must not be sup
posed that we escape the severest punish
ment. Our losses in Yesterdays fight were
much greater than in any of the battles Of
the previous week. 1t is true there isa
smaller per centage ofkilled in proportion to
the number wounded than in any previous
battle, and very large number are but slight
ly wounded. Roads, fields, and woods are
literally swarming withthese suffering heroes,
who have defed wounds and death that the
nation might survive. @a
So incessant have been the marching and
fighting, that many are being overcome with
fatigue, and several have been sun struck;
yet never was. seen so cheerful, SO resolute,
and even exultant body of men on any of
the world great battle fields All honor to
this sublime heroism, which SO nobly well
comes death and wounds.
Rebel prisoners assert that Lee ordered
all his wounded men able to hold musket
to take their places in the ranks again for
yesterdays battle. .n
Our wounded are being conveyed with all
possible dispatch to Fredericksburg, and
thence, via Belle Plain, to Washington
But for tender regard for these disabled
heroes, abandoned to their fate and burning
up in the woods left ON fire las the Rebels
also leave their dead unburiedl, our army
would ere this have been laundering before
the Rebel Capitol but we can afford to
wait. Men who have faced musketry and
cannon for week, and fought better caoh
succeeding day, are invincible, and they will
soon win the complete triumph their valer
so richly merits.
Time after time did they huA back in dis
order the solid massed columns of the foe,
and if perehance they staggered with the
shock, it WAS only for more snperhuman en-
ergy to charge back upon him, The old
gnard at Waterloo pales before these men.
Our entire losses thus far, in killed woun-
ded, missing, &e., must reach near 10000.

Exciting ArlalY News.

Since the issue of last week $ paper, we
have had exciting and startling army news
almost every hour Tuesday, May ,, seems
to have been the day fixed upon for stimuli
ianeous movement of the great armies under
Meade and Sherman as also the small COM
nands under other leaders in the valleys of
the Shenandoah and kanawha. The ad-
vance on Richmond was commenced on that
dag from three principal directions; the first
by Meade from the Rapidani the Sc
conl up the Peninsula; and the third, south
Of the James River BY. way of Petersburg,
All Of these movements have been partially
successful, but none Of them had, at our la
tost dates, reached the much desired goal.
The fighting between the Potomac Amy
aud that Of Lee, has been terrible, and the
losses on the Federal side and time it is Ia
king to drive Lee into full retreat BY the O.
verwholn1ing army under the control Of Grant
indicate the desperation with which the reb-
cls are giving hattie. We have not thought
il possible for Lee to maintain himself even
tuauy against the great odds against hln
i /; still our belief that he must necessarily
ho overcome if he permits himself to be pla-
cad in position where the result must be
decided by mera physical force. Hence we
viii be much disappointed in case Lee when
compelled to fall back, risks the annihilation
Of his army in an attempt to occupy Rich,
nond.
We have nothing definite from the great
western army which is advancing from Ala
hama and Chattanooga under the direction
of Sherman and Mcpherson They have
an immense army and it is not likely that
they will meet an enemy able to hold their
combined forces in check.
Late dispatches from Secretary Stanton
shows that Gen. Sherman has been success.

Headquarters ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
May 9th. --Sot1icrs.--Ih moment has ar
rived when your commanding General feels
authorized to address you in terms of con
graduation, For three days and nigh.
almost without intcrmission, in rain and sun
shine, you have been CALAMITY fighting a
desperate foe in positions naturally strong,
and rendered doubly so by entertainments.
You have compelled him to abandon his for
tifcations on the Rapidan, and to retire. He
attempted to stop your progress, and now he
has abandoned the last entrenched position
so tcnaciously held, suffering in all loss Of
l8 guns, 22 colors, and 5000 prisoners in
Guiding two General officers. Your heroic
deed and noble endurance Of fatigue and
priyations will ever be memorable. Let us
return thanks to God for the mercy thus
shown us, and ask earnestly for its continu-
ance.
Soldiers, your work is not oyer. The en-
cmy must be pursued, and, If possible, over
come. The courage and fortitude you have
displayed renders your commanding General
confident that your future efforts will result
in success. While we mourn the loss Of ma
ny gallant comrades, let us remember that
The enemy have suffered equal if not greater
losses. We shall soon receive reinforcements,
which he cannot expect Let us determine
then, to continue vigorously the work so
well begun, and, under God blessing in
short time the object Of our labors will be
accomplished.
