COMPANY.

We admit an advertisement VI this Company
believing il to be- among the most substantial OF
the organizations of the kind which have been
recently formed in this'eity. Its land-4s2 acres
is on Oil Spring Run, near where Il emptles
into the Muskingum river, on which steamers
are passing every day to and from GAINESVILLE
and Marietta some Of them extending their
trips to Pittsburgh In this II has an advantage
over all the Virginia and most Of the PennsylVa-
MIA oil territory-an advantage which those ira
ding in oil will understand and appreciate.
The territory itself is most valuable, taking IN
fully mile of Oil Spring Run, with broad mats
OH either side room enough for hundreds OF
wells along which tho oil literally flows out in
springs, the TACT from which the stream has had
ia name from time immemOIial. AT the same
time there is u tributary to this run passing
through about the same distance OF the Com.
pauy > land which for oil purposes, IL believed
to be scarcely less valuale. Wells recently
opened In the vicinity prove tho OH TO DO ADM
dant and of the finest lubricating qualities,
which sells in the market for double the price OF
such as is used chiefly for purposes OF light
Another consideration in favor OF this Compa
nv il the character OF the mon who have the
management of it-some of tho most prominent
and pr sperous business men OF the city-men
who do not engage i'll such enterprises Onndly OF
indiscreetly. Their character ID sufficient
guarantee OF the solidity of the Company, and
of the faithfulness and energy with which its
affairs will be conducted.

DR.. Sanford B. Hunt, of Buffalo, New
York, late Medical Director of Cavalry
forces of the Military Division of the Gulf,
furnishes the Buffalo Ezpressthe following
statement:
About June lst, of this year, 1 was sta
toned at Selma, Alabama One morning
l received visit from Colonel Cunning
ham, c. S. A, late Chief of Staff for John
Morgan, of Ohio raid notorietv. The con-
versation turning upon horse-ilesh, Col
onel c. said that in the summer of 1864 he
was ordered from Chicago, Illinois, to
Richmond, Virginia, and not daring to
take the cars, he made the entire distance
from Chicago to point in Virginia, where
he could take the cars for Richmond, at
the rate of fifty miles a day. Naturally
this drew out inquiries rs to what he, a
Confederate Colonel, was doing in Chica-
go in the summer of 1864
Colonel Cunningham said he was del
egate to the Chicago Democratic National
Convention from district in Southern Il
linois, this residence is in Tennessee,) and
that he had the honor Of voting for the
nomination of Mcclellan. His real er-
rand there, however, was to release the con-
federate prisoners at Camp Douglas He
had 800 picked men of his own command
concentrated at Chicago. Upon these he
could rely, and he also had the promise of
5000 Copperheads to assist him. He said
he found the "Copperheads to be only wa
ter snakes. They took to the tall grass"
AT any rate he got no help from them,
as he said ''because they were the d-dest
towards on the footstool"
Colonel Cunningham further said that
with his reliable 800 men he could, at some
loss, have taken Camp Douglas the even
ing before the Convention met; that he
toOuLG have done SO if everybody else had
been as plucky as Alexander Long of Ohio.
That Long was game but that Vallan-
digham was thorough-going coward and
his lack of moral courage defeated the
whole enterprise.
Colonel Cunningham is now, 1 believe,
at Nashville, Tennessee. Should this
meet his eye he will recognize the author,
and am accountable to him for the above
as a correct version of a conversation
which had several witnesses. He will not
dispute it, and 1 only need to call atten-
tion to the facts it exhibits:
l. 1t shows that at least one Confeder-
crate officer of high rank was delegate to
the Chicago Democratic Convention, and
a supporter of Mcclellan.
2. That the author of the Chicago plat
form of 1864, and some of the leaders of
that Convention, were cognizant of and
ParticePs c7'inliRis in an attempt to release
some 10000 rebel prisoners and turn them
loose in the streets of Chicago to COM
mence the work of rapine and bloodshed.

NEW YORK, October 4.-The Times
Washington special says that an errone-
Gus impression prevails as to the eff
feet of relieving General Bragg from fur
ther service ON the Wirz military commits
sion. 1t is generally supposed that this
order of the War Department raises a
grave legal question as to the right of the
commission to proceed with the trial of
Wirz. The question, however, has long
been well settled, and the withdrawal of
one member or any number of members of
court until the number is reduced to but
three will not vitiate the proceedings nor
prevent the remaining three or more from
making up the judgment.
General Doennes' resignation has been

tered under the Homestead Act if his de
claratory statement is accompanied by his
affidavit, and That he had actually made
his statement prior to the date of the Home
stead Act. He also decides that two or
more parties cannot enter the saDse tract
under the said act The tract should be
awarded to the first applicant- II two or
more apply for the traPt at the same time
it should be AWARDED to the party making
the highest bid~for the privilege of max
ino the entry, and the sum thus bid should
he oroslfted to the United States in the re-
tp-ds as excise, with memorandum of
the facts. A partylean enter a tract upon
which preemptor has filed his declarato-
ry statements if he files his affidavit that
there is no 'preemptofs settlement on the
land, and makes his enter subject to the
claim in case such preemption
should be established after notice to, and
hearing Of the parties concerned.

Slaves in Kentucky.
The Herald's Washington special has
the following: The charge in this morn
ing's Chronicle that Green CLAW Smith
was in favor of re-enslaving the negroes
of Kentucky, is exceeding absurd to those
who know his sentiments and antecedents.
He and his family have willingly surren-
dered two hundred slaves. His opposition
to Gen. Palmer springs from the latters
halfway manner of treating Kentucky
affairs. Gen. Palmer practically declares
all slaves in Kentucky free, in defiance of
the State law, granting them passes to go
where they please, but in point of fact con-
tinues their enslavement by allowing
State laws, enacted in protection Of
of slavery, to be enforced in fining all per-
sons who employ slaves without the con-
sent of their masters.
In other words General Palmer gives
Green Clay Cmith's slaves passes to go
where they please, but allows Green CLAY
Smith to be prosecuted for employing the
slaves of others. So in the late election
General Palmer ordered the civil authori-
ties TO allow no rebel or disloyal persons
to vote, but now allows these civil officers
to be prosecuted and fined for executing
his own orders. 1t is asserted that Pal
mer's interference lost the late election.
