- River.

NASHVILLE, Dec. 29.-Union prisoners
who escaped from Florence arrived on the
9th at Columbia direct, state that Hood :
advance arrived at the Tennessee River on
Wednesday the 2lst. The next day his
infsntry crossed on pontoons which he had
removed above the shoals out of reach of
our gunboats.
One of the prisoners states that Hood
entered Tennessee With ITO cannon He
counted twenty-five on his retreat on Sat-
urday.
When twelve miles this side the Ten
nessee River, they heard heavy firing in
the direction of Florence; probably Stead
mans force engaged with Forrest, There
is intense indignation against Hood in the
rebel army.

To these who are unacquainted with the
facts in connection with the discovery and
deyelopmeat of oil lin Pennsylvania, an
exhibit Of, the aatual, production of oil fur
Hishes material for important reflection.
The business has already become 80 ex-
tensive that petroleum furnishes that me-
dunn of exchange with foreign countries,
which was lost in the cotton kept out OF
market BY the rebellion. In 1862, the
entire exports amounted to 1915, 020
gallons; in ten months of 1863, to 26, O7O,-
500 gallons, and since the LIST of January,
1854, to 80, 49,, 900 gallons. In it's mag
nitude it already completes with the coal
and iron interests of that State. The esti-
mated value of the petroleum found in
Pennsylvania during the last twelve
months, IL two millions of barrels, which
at eleven dollars a barrel, high average,
was worth at the wells, twenty-five mil

The pig-iron of Pennsylvania during the

which at an average Of $50 per ton,
produced $S7, 500, 600. The coal product
for the same time is estimated at IL, o0O,-
900 tons. This at an average price OF
$3.50 per ton, would make rs, 600, 900.
The grand total OF coal, iron and oil
would therefore reach the enormous sum

Arrangements are being made for sink
ing vast number OF wells during the COM
ing summer, so that in one year from this
time the number of wells in operation will
be three or four times those now pumping
or flowing. In addition to this are the re-
gions in Southern Ohio, Western Virginia.
and Eastern Kentucky, that promise to
make vast additions to the amount of oil
already produced. No one can form any
adequate idea of what will be the results
when the production of oil reaches point
far beyond its present position. It will, if
we are not much mist ken, attain during
the coming year a value four times the
present annual aggregate, and thus mate
rally aid in keeping down foreign ex-
change, beside adding immensely to the
material interests Of the country. As Yet
there have been no statistics that have
shown the actual amount of oil produced.
1t is estimated at from four to five millions
of barrels,

We arrived at this place last night and found
Brevet Major Gen. j. II. Wilson's hsadquar-
tiers Chief of Cavalry seven miles in rear Of his
command, with two corps of infantry around
his headquarters. If Hood escapes there Is no
one to blame but the cavalry. If they had
been out of the way of Smiths guerillas,
have no doubt but we should have been able
to take most Of them into camp. - -
