General Wslbridge in responding for
the New York Produce Exchange, said he
believed the time had come when the Brit

lion of the rebels as belligerents in our ex-
isting rebellion, for.the constitutional gov

directly or indirectly, cour tenahced any Of
the many attempts that had been made,
since our existence as nation, on the part
of the British Colonies TO resist the parent

FROM NEW YORK.

NEW York, Feb. "A.
The Richmond Examiner of the 2Ist
says: We have, by telegraph, confrms-
ton Of the report we gave yesterday of a
cavslry raid in the direction of TsTboro,
NC, also q renewal of q movement Of the
enemy up the south side Of the Nsuse. We
know that official intelligence has been re-
ceived hare giving 8 much more magnifed
account of the latter movement than the
popular report of it. It Is supposed Fosters
forces, or 5 considerable portion of them,
have moved up to Newburn to operate
from there probably upon the Wilmington
and Weldon railroad. There is no doubt
the landing of troops at Newburn, aud the
reinforcement Of Terry at Wilmington, are
both intended to aid or cooperate with
Sherman.

The Sandusky Register says that oil has

chased forty-fOur acres of ground of Mr.. E.
Ennis for thirty thousand dollars.
The Mahoning Register says that flow.
ing well has been struck three miles below
Fredericksburg, OoIumbians county, on
what is called Island Run, at the depth of
two hundred feet. The well flows eight
barrels q day. There are other wells in the
neishborhOod, but none SO good as this.
An exchange says that the oil excite
rnent in Butler and Lawrence counties,
Pennsylvania, is on the increase. Dr.. Eg-
bert the oil millionaire, has leased well
on sipperyrock creek. A we'll has been
struck at Hsrlensburg on this creek, which
pumps barrel of oil every thirty minutes.
A railroad Is to be immediately built,
running from New Castle up Big Run to
Slipperyrock, and up Wolf creek to the
coal fields of Butler county, which win
render this oil territory easily accessible
and largely increase its value.
The Toledo Blade says that there is an
increasing spirit Of oil speculation in that
city, and that lands are being leased at
Lakeport, St. Clair county, whore oil has
been found at depth of e5 feet, ard has
formed in the well to 3 depth Of eight leet

too great confidence in the oil-produeing
powers of that section. A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial, however,
represents the oil prospect as most fatter-

Eniskillen, Canads, sixteen miles from
the Lskeport oil district, Is the site of nU-
merous wells that have flowed thousands

respondent, of the 22d says: Last night 200
men LETT Tor their homes from one brigade.
: Hoke's division, of Longstreets corps, is
the only large body of troops that have
been sent south from Lees army.
They estimate tho strength Of the rebel
army around Petersburg at 10000 men.
TheneWs of Sherman's successes in Soutb
Carolina became generally known through
out the rabsl army to-day and caused q
feeling Of universal depression to prevail
there. The privates make no secret of
their intention to desert and Lee has
placed heavy guard in his rear to prevent
their going back TO their homes.
They confirm the statement made few
nights ago that the siege guns have been
removed from Petersburg, and carried to
some point in the rear Of that CITY.
Rebel officers openly express their
opinion that nothing can stop Sher-
mans advance. and thence privates desert
by scores. -.-....
Two more desertsrs have just been
brought in. They belong to Mahones
division, and have brought their arms
along. $50 -,--.
Msjor Brown, Provost Marshal of the
Sd Division, has of late been up every night

Governor Vance, of North Carolina, has
issusd war proclamation, in which he de-
clares that the struggle for freedom shall
never be given up. He prayerfully en-
treats the people to rise, and says ali the
disasters the South is suffering are caused
by the soldiers being absent without leave.
The Richmond Wing of the 2lst says:
It does not know where or when Bea1re
gard viii give Sherman battle, but if the
latter continues to march toward Richmond
ne marches to his doom. Beauregard is
Sherman's master in all the arts of strategy
and tactics. He will retreat when proper
and fight when proper.
The Richmond Eraminsr AGREES that
Richmond is more safe now than in May
Last, when Grant was moving, and there
was so much panic in that city. It saws
1t Is true they have not as many troops
now, but neither have the Pederals, by
great deal. ~

The Present Condition OF Ireland--s
Emigration 70 this COnnfry---6reaf
Dlsa6ecttOn Among the People.
Mr.. Mcguire, in the British Parliament
thus speaks of Ireland:
He solemnly and sincerely declared that
there wss in Ireland discomfort and diafec-
ton which nothing under heaven but just
laws could change. The Lord Lieutenant,
few days ago, expressed his deep regret
that the people were leaving the country in
sIsSh. z.-lz-abo-s, sza1 Oa--iod with thorn a
feeling of hostility to the British govern
ment. Let them look at the case straight
in the face, and not shrink from consider
alton Of the question. The feeling carried
to America by Iriahmen would have sn
influence upon the policy of American
statesman. The Irish emigrants and their
children born in the States outnumbered
the population of Ireland. They were sc-
tive and energetic, and many of them COM
mAnded the press and the platform They
were animated by hatred Of England, and
he asked them into what eslamities might
they not precipitate the two countries.-
Hear, hear. He hoped that the govern
ment, instead Of troubling themselves
about complications in distant parts Of Eur
ope, would endeaVor to heal the soar that
existed in the heart of the empire. Royal
visits would not meet the wants of Ireland
They would only be as court-plsster over
3 deep seated ulcer. The Irish people
would be glad to see Her Msjesty or any
member Of her family, but the starving
people who saw the utter hopelessness Of
any effort for which there was no reward
did not want the sunshine of royalty, or the
glitter of psgeantry; what they wanted
was Just laws, that would hberate their
arms and give them field for their exeT
tions. Hear, hear
