The property of the above named company.
which is about being organized under the mining
laws Of Pennsylvania, consists Of the following
valuable territory, to wit:

3. The refusal for sixty days, of lease on Su-
gar Creek, of two of ground; ave eghths of
the oil to the company.
4. Seven acres in fee simple on the waters of
Ritchey Run, one mile from its junction with the
Allegheny, about the same distance from the Fox
and Widel well, owned by the "Stump Island Oil
Company" AIlfat, boreable territory, at present
under cultivation, with good frame house upon
it.
5. Three acres in fee simple on the Allegheny
river, just below the mouth Of the Clarion river.
There is room this tract for half dozen wells.
The allegheny and Clarion River Oil Compa-
ny, Of Philadelphia, sinking several wells
immediately opposite this property, with excel
lent prospects of success
In presenting the above basis to the public, it is
confidently beIeNed that II cannot be eXcelled by
thatof any other company yet organized. The
two leases Cherry Run are themselves worth
more than the territories Of many companies
which profess to be based upon million capital.
The Cherry Run region has proved to be the sur
est oil-producing territory yet discovered. Nine
tenths ofthe wells bored this stream have been
successful. The great "Recd7 well, flowing 375
barrels per day, the "Mountain' well flowing AGO.
and in fact nearly all of the large wells yet struck
are located on Cherry Run.
1t is proposed TO sell a sufficient number of
shares to pay for the territory and to raise work
ing capital for its development, at the low price of

WASHINGTON, Sept 28.-The Wirz mil
itary commission re-assembled to-day
The examination of Col Persons was re-
sumed While he commanded at Ander-
sonville, boxes of supplies from the SAM
tary Commissirn reached them. He had
them sent to the prisoners, for which
they thanked him. 1t was peniten-
tiary offence for confedrates to trade for
greenbacks He thought this was so de-
clared by act of Congress and by statute
of the State of Georgia The country
around Andersonville was poor, and as a
consequence vegetables were scarce
Soon after some negroes had reached An
dersonville, he addressed a communica-
tion to Gen Winder asking what dispo-
sition should be made of them The re-
ply was that the question was in obey
ance at Richmond, and until it was set
tied that they should be treated as pris-
oners of war Witness did not know
whether sentries were relieved after
shooting Union prisoners. Such infor-
nation never reached him.

Episcopal Convention

New YORK, Sept. 28-At the session
of the Episcopal Convention, Ex,aov'
John A. King, after the address OF the
Bishop was concluded, offered the follow
ing resolution, which was. unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That this Convention cordial,
ly respond to the sentiments presented
by the Bishop of the Diocese in his ad'
dress respecting the return of peace to
our land and the state of the church III
the Southern diocese. -,
The Bishop, in his address, had said
that the Northern brethren should do all
that in them lies to re-establish the uni
ty of the church. There were no nobler
spirits in the pale of the church than are
to be found in the South, and he was
happy thus to testify to their worth and
to express the estimation in which they
were held by him.
