THE PROPERTIES OF THIS COMPA-
Il ny consist Of 423 acres Of the most desirable
OIL Lands in these States, selected with care and
Judgment by practical men, after prospecting and
examining the most productive regions and locali-
ties. A large part of it is situated on Dunkard
creek Green county, Pennsylvania, where, in pro-
portion to developments. the quantity and quality
Of the Oil found, is superior to Oil creek, it com
manding higher price in the pittsburg market.
The lands in West Virginia are located in Mon
ongelia and Wetzell counties, and are considered
among the best in the State.
In Ohio, the Company property is located in Knox
county, where the indications are most favorable,
Oil of a superior character as q lubrcator being
found at depth Of $50 feet on adjacent lands. and
within few feet Of the Con psnv's property.
The Company are already sinking one we'll, and

Improved Water Chambers. which keep upa

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1865-03-02

\ Southern contemporary remarks
that commentators have been divided as
to the question of flesh for the food Of
man, and some have even supposed that
man was not originally made to eat or
need flesh. Our contemporary thinks.
however, that the question is settled by
the following verse in Ninth Genesis:
"Every moving thing that liveth shall
be meat for you; even as the green
herb, have l given you all things"
We regard this decision as conclusive
but it does not seem to be concurred in
at the markets of the Confederacy. Nei-
ther flesh nor green herb are permissible
to the majority of the community, under
their practice. There can be no question
about either meat or turnip-tops, pro-
vidcd you can get them. If our contem-
porary will put the people in the way of
making the experiment, they will discuss
the question of what was originally in
tended for food-after dinner.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1865-03-02

was: "Two hundred and forty trays,
and seventy-two liquid Danielrs now in
circuit" So that the word that could
not be made out was trays -; that was
the last effort of the cable. Attempts
have subsequently been made to repair it,
but the decay, from rust, of the outer
covering, which consists of strands Of
very fine wires, has prevented the posi-
bility Of raising the cable without break
ingit.
The failure was believed to be, in .
great measure, owing to the absence of .
proper preliminary experimental inquiry
into the conditions required in the con-
struction of such a cable. But the more
immediate causes Of failure alleged are !:
first, the absence of sufficient care in
the manufacture of the cable from the
limited time allowed for its completion ::
second, the injury that the cable received
by repeated handling between the time
when it was constructed and the time it
was laid; third, the insufficient protec-
ton Of the outer covering against corro-
sion; fourth, the insufficient size of the
conductor, and of its insulating covering
in proportion to the length of the cable
a want which necessitated the use of
high battery power.
With the lights thrown upon it by
former experiments, the present British
enterprise bids fair to be more success
full. If so, it will be the crowning tri
umph of the wonderful mechanical ge-
MUS of England, which has, within the
last eighty years, changed the whole
face of society; which perfected the
steam engine, and gave to man motive
force that has traverscd the waters
against winds and tides; hurried him
over the land at sixty miles an hour,
drawn up the treasures Of the deepest
mine, and helped the power loom and
the spinning jenny to clothe the world.
How much more glorious these produc-
tive triumphs Of peace than all the
blood stained laurcls which Great Bril-
tain has achieved in war!
