Tie number Of vessels end amount Of tonna4e employed T..
tMe whae-Eah.ry. since lsat EaE. boon As L-mnxs:

The most noticeable thing in the above stats
tics Is the steady and rapid decline Of the whal-
ing business, it being now only about one-third
what it was twelve years since. The aggregate
quantity Of oil taken has declined also in about
the same ratio. And there is no immediate pros
pect of any revival of it, as the capital once in
vested in it, can BE- employed in other ways with
more Profit.
In this state Of things, nothing cOnld have
been more opportune than the discovery Of coal
oil iii such quantities rs now IS obtained in the
United States. The WELD Of petroleum or coal
oil during 1864. is estimated at between thirty
and forty millions in value, which IS more than
ever the whale fishery produced in its best days.
BY this discovery, the world is supplied with
a new and beautiful light, nearly or fully equal
70 sperm in brilIiancy and at onc-third the cost.
Heretofore, it has been obtained mostly in Penn
sy!vania and Western Virginia, but the discov-
cries OF it have recently been made in Ohio,
Kentucky and other Western States, and even in
California the oil springs are found, producing
an article fully equal 70 that from the Pennsvl-
vania districts. 1t seems to be- found in the
neighhorhood of coal deposits, and it Is probable
that it will yet be obtained in all coal producing
countries.
during the past few months, there has been r
great excitement in the Atlantic cities Of the
United States about coal oil, which amounts al
most to a mania, new companies being organized
and investments made 1T the rate of a million Of
dollars per day. Although this cannot always
last, yet it viii tend to increase the production
of coal oil. and probably reduce its cost, It
will soon become ne OF the greatest branches Of
industry in the United States, while the whale
fishery must sink into comparative insignifcance.
Fortunately for these islands, they are not de-
pendent on the whaling fleets as formerly, and
our sugar plantations alone are now worth to us
FIVE times more than ever the former were. and
give TO our people a more steady. healthful and
lucrative employment.

RUMoRs OF PEACE-The air has been full of peace
rumurs, but We have had SO many Of them before,
they make slight Impression. Francis L Blair. the
ancient editor cf the Globe. under General Jackson,
WAS reported 10 have started for Richmond, and TO
have been turned back by General Grant Il Is now
said that he has gone again, with the appreciation Of
the authorities, ami that It is his purpose to confer
with the rebel chiefs As TO the terms al peace lhe
indications are that the rebel military power - nearly
broken down. The Express publishes information
received directly from Richmond, through a Geor-
gisn, holding property. who was IN company with
JEFF Davis a. late as Christmas day, 70 the following
effect
Ist That it IS the intention Of the rebel authori-
ties hereafter to act more on the defensive.
ID That the women Of the South, in very many
instances, are actually bringing their family plate
and jewels to Richmond, aud giving it to Jef Davis,
as an Offering to the Conieieracy.
81. Thai the army Of General Lee numbers not
less than ninety thousand men, but that il includes
thousands over and uuder the military age
4th. That it Is the last army which the South
can possibly raise, but that it Is composed, generally,
of ne very best material, and Sled with Il spirit Of
FIRE aud opposition TO - the Yankees
5th. Tha; the Georgiaus in Lees army became
greatly disa5ecJed towards the South from a refusal
Of the Ccnieierates to allow them 10 defend their
State while Sherman was marching through 1t. As
g consequence, many GeorCIaus have deserted, aud
our Informant Is among them.
