The Oil Enthusiasm in Pennsylvania

A gentleman recently from this city,
under date of the 22d ult, writes, in a pri-
vate letter from Titusville, Pennsylvania,
that "the town is literally crammed with
anxious spectators after oil. Not cor
ncr or hole is empty. The best bed |
have been able to find is bunch of poor
hay aud pair of old blankets. Such Is
life among the oil-hunters now. There
are enough here already to swallow up
every inch Of producing land in this
vicinity.
"Property that could have been bought
ten days ago for $50 per acre, sells rap
idly now for from $4,000 to $4,000
per acre. This is in consequence Of large
wells being struck in the vicinity. There
is now along the creek 100000 barrels
of oil awaiting shipment. The railroad
cannot take it off half as fast as it is
pumped out. > Washington Chronicle.

Death of a. Despicabls Wretch.

The rebel General John Ii. Winder
died suddenly of apoplczy, at Florence
S. c., few days since, He was native
of Baltimore, a West Point graduate, and
sixty-five years Of age when he died
lie was called clog Winder" at West
Point, owing to his brutal habits and his
avarice, and retained the name as illus
trative of his character during his career
as United States officer, and as keeper OF
the Union prisoners in Richmond and
South Carolina, where his peculiar quail
ties came into appropriate operation and
rendered him valuable to the rebels
His name is synonymous with all that
is cruel and vindictive to our Union pris
oners in the South, hundreds of whom
sank to dogs grave under the inhumar
treatment Of '%Hog Winder."

The War.

The War for the Union is just now pro-
crossing as rapidly and as favorably as the
most loyal heart could wish. Grantyet holds
Lee to his Businesses at Richmond, only inter-
rupting the monotony of the quiet by an oc-
casional dash at some point, where he can
remind Lee that he has his eye on him.
Hood remains where he can do no damage,
in the South West, closely watched by the
army which handled him so roughly at Nash
vile. In fact the main armies OF the Con-
federacy appear to be held in deadlock TO
be pounced upon and destroyed as soon as
they venture out in the face of day.
The official announcements from the War
Department inform us that while Grant and
Thomas are apparently inactive, Sherman
and other of the Union commanders are busy
as nailers. Rested from the fatigue of his
march from Atlanta to Savannah, Sherman
took up new line of march, and has alrea-
dy hopelessly destroyed the railroads upon
which the Confederacy depend in meas
ure for supplies, captured Columbia, the cap
ital of South Carolina, and tore open the way
for Union army to march to the occupancy
Of Charleston. He is yet on his march,
and as he seems to have liking for rebel
capitals, it is surmised that Raleigh, N. c.,
will be his next stopping place.
In his march Sherman is following closely
on the heels of Bureaugard, but the latter
travels so fast as to make it an impossibiIty
for the former to come within fighting dis
tance of him. He was to have been the
lion in Sherman's path-to have administer
ed fatal check and then to have annihi!a-
ted Sherman, ere he crossed the Threshold
Of South Carolina, that pest-house of treason.
But whatever may have been his intentions,
Bureaugard's only object now seems TO be to
get ou. of Sherman's way and to keep out
of it. With quite a considerable army at
his command, and with all the choice of po-
sition in his favor, he fears to front the man
who has dared to break the she'll Of treason
and show to the world Its weakness.
Everything now combines to fix it as fact
that the last ditch in which the last rebel is
TO die is nearly found, and that it needs but
one grand and united effort more to settle
treason forever.
Since the above was written we have re-
ceived the gratifying intelligence that the
stars and stripes float over Fort Sumter once
more, and that Charleston, with its defences,
is in possession of our troops. The rebels
evacuated the city on the 18th. Before lea
wing they burned some 5000 bales of cotton
and set fire to the city, three-fourths ofwhich,
it is supposed, will be destroyed. An ex-
plosion also took place at the Wilmington
Depot, by which large number of the citi-
zens were killed. The lesser trophies of the
victory are two hundred guns, in good condi-
ton, and large quantity of ammunition
The greater trophies are Charleston itself
and Fort Sumter
1t is rumored that Wilmington. n. c., has
also fallen into our possession.

Passing AWAY.

The snow which at the close of the
last week lay some thirty inches deep on
the level in this neighborhood, is slowly
passing away before the spring-like wealth
cr which has prevailed since Saturday.
1t will be sometime, however, ere the
green grass springing through the with
cred sods will greet the eye. 1t is said
that in some places in the Beach the
snow was four foot deep. AS our citi-
zens have enjoyed uninterrupted sleigh
ing for some eight weeks, we do not sup
pose that any one would feel inclined to
grumblo even should very early Spring
0vertake Us.

an energetic and reliable business man,

and Treasurer. The President of the
Company, E. W. Davis, Esq, has State
wide reputation for honesty and business
and in the list of Directors will
be found the names Of some of our most
enterprising citizens. The prospectus
sets forth the advantages possessed by the

The 7-3O Loan.

The Secretary of the Treasury, a cou-
pie of weeks ago, appointed Jay Cooke, Of
Philadelphia, general subscription agent
for the sale of the 7-30 loan. This is the
only Government loan now in market, and
the manner in which it is taken up, un-
der Mr. Cookies auspices, shows conclu-
sively the wisdom displayed in the selec-
tlon of agent. Mr. c. had the sale of the
$40 six per cent. loan and soon found
purchasers for all the Government had to
spare. The rapidity with which the T.
Sos are now being taken up will soon
leave none on hand to be subscribed for.
We would, therefore, urge on our capi-
talists, and all others who have money to
invost, the necessity of prompt action if
they wish to secure share of this desira-
bic loan. That our readers may Judge of
the demand for it we would say that in
the space of one minute, recently, orders
from different quarters were received by
Mr.. Cooke, for over s1,O00,0OO of the
Loan. The sale of 1905 on Monday last
amounted to $4,l2G,S50 including one
subscription of 100000 from New
York, one Of $4,000 from Chicago, and
2,S8l single subscriptions. AT this rate
the loan, which is limited must soon be
exhausted. The advertisement, in anoth-
sr column, viii give full particulars. /

Ayre's AgVEe Cure.
FOR TIE SPEEDY CrRE OF


Intermittent Fccer, or Fecer and lane.
RemHtent Fcrcr, Chill Fecer, DgasJ
Ague, Periodical Hcadoc7e or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fegcro, indeed
for the schole class Of diseases origiaa-
ting IN bitla'y derangemcnt, caused By
the NaEarta Of fmjasmatic countries.
Fever and Ague is not the only conse-
quence of the miasmetic poison. A great
variety of disorders arise from its irritation,
in malarious districts, among which are Neu-
ral gla, Rheumatism, Gout. Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma,
Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spine,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Para
lysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, all
of which, when originating in this cause put
on the intermittent type, or become periodi-
cal. This "Cure" expels the poison from
the blood, and thus cures them all alike. 1t
is not only the most effectual remedy ever
discovered for this class of complaints. but
1t is the cheapest ard moreover is perfectly
safe. No harm can arise from its use. and
the patient when cured is left as healthy as
II ne had never had the disease. Can this
be said of any other cure for Chills and Fe-
yer 1t is true of this, and its Importance
to those afflicted with the complaint canno
be over estimated. SO sure is it 20 cure the
Fever and Ague, that it may be truthfully
said to be certain remedy. One Dealer
complains that it is not good medicine to
sell, because one bottle cures whole neiqh-
berhood.
