the number of men called for, is neither in
creased nor diminished, but equality produced,
considering the number of men, and the Pc
riods of their service. Localities which
have heretofore furnished greater amount
OF service have in proportion to their enrol
ment, less amotnt to furnish under this,

Men having heretofore enlisted for one, two

of those periods as the basis of the calcula-

er periods, it kes the calculation more
simple to adopt that The same result would
be arrived at by adopting either one or two
years as the basis. but The process of calcu-
lation would be more complicated.
Such we find to be the rule adopted by the
Provost Marshal General. The rule is in
conformity with the requirements of the laws
of Congress, and is just and equitable.
We have carefully examined and proved
the work done under this rule by the Provost
Marshal General, and find that 1t has been
done with fairness.

HIS Ercellency Governor Smith

WASHINGTON, February 8, 1865. (
HIS Erccllcncy Governor Smith:
Complaint is made me, by Vermont, tina,
the assignment of her quata for the Draft on
the impending call is intrnsically unjust,
and also in bad faith to the Governments
promise to fairly allow credits for men pre-
viousfy furnished. To oillustrate, supposed
case is stated, as follows:
| Vermont and New Hampshire must, be-
tween them, furnish 5000 men, on the pend
ing call, and, being equals, each must furn-
lsh rs many men as the other in the long run.
But the Government finds that, on former
calls, Vermont furnished a surplus of 500
and New Hampshire surplus of 1870
these two surplusses, making 1000, are ad-
ded to the 5000, making 5000 to be furn-
ished by the two States, or 4, 600 each, less by
fair credits. Then subtract Vermont s surplus
of 500 from her 1000, leaves $500 as her
quota on the pending call; and likewise
subtract New Hampshre's surplus of l 500
from her 4,G00, leaves $500 as her quota on
the pending call. These $500 and $500
make precisely the 5000 which the supposed
case requires from the two States; and it is
just, equal, for Vermont to furnish 900 more
no'c than New Hampshire, because New
Hampshire has heretofore furnished 1000
more than Vermont, which equalizes the bur-
thens of the two in the long run. And this
result, so far from being bad faith to Vermont.
is indispensable to keeping good faith with
New Hampshire By no other result can
the 5000 men be obtained from the two States,
and, at the same time, deal justly and keep
faith with both; and we do but confuse our
selves in questioning the process by which
the right result was reached.
The supposed case is perfect as an illus
tration. The pending call is not for 3O0,-
900 men subject to fair credits, but is for
100000 remaining after all fair credits have
been deducted and it is impossible to con-
cede what Vermont asks without coming out
short of the 100000 men, or making other To-
calities pay for the partiality shown her.

DIRECTORS.

This Company owns in fee simple seven
| ty-seven and three-tenths acres on the East
side of the Allegheny River, in Rockland
township, Venango County, Pennsylvania.
It is situated five miles below the town of
Franklin, opposite the mouth of the West
Sandy Creek, and has a frontage of ITO rods
on the river. 1t is but short distance be-
low the celebrated Hoover well which is
yielding 200 barrels of oil daily. Other
yielding wells surround it in every direction,
and within the past few weeks two new
wells have been struck in the immediate
neighborhood, one of which is producing dai-
ly 80 barrels of heavy lubricating oil worth
at the well $50 per barrel.
A fine vien of Bituminous coal, easily ac-
cessible, is on part of the land, and in view
of the enormously high price of coal in that
region, is an important consideration, and
will enable the company not only to supply
its own wants in that respect, but to derive
an income from its sale to others.
The adjoining properties are in the hands
of good and prosperous companies, all in sue
cessful operation, and it is believed that no
oil company has started out with better
prospects for paying large and regular month
ly ulViQenuS.
This Company intend developing their land
without the least delay, and for this purpose
have arranged for the necessary engines,
tools, tubing, &C., all of which will be put
upon the ground and in operation as soon as
the season will permit.
In addition to their own wells, the Com
pany also propose 10 lease to responsible par
ties portions of their land divided into lots of
10 square rods each, at a rent of one half
the oil, the Company to be at no expense
whateuer. They will have at least fifty
such lots to lease, all of which can be leased
at once if deemed expedient with covenants
binding lcssees to sink wells with all possi-
BILE despatch to the depth of five hundred or
more feet. Estimating, only one we'll to
each lot, fifty wells, at the very moderate
average of ten barrels each, would make
daily product Of 500 barrels. OF this the
