The Twelnh ohio Cavalry.


This gallant regiment was paid off and
discharged yesterday, and its members
will soon return to the warm welcomes of
their homes and to the pleasures and du-
ties of peaceful life. Though the junior
cavalry regiment from this State, it has
had time, during the two years of its ex-
i%sterce, to carve with its sabres an honor
able record, and win an individual renOwn
as bright as any organization which Ohio
has sent into the field. 1t was recruited
in the fall of 1868, very largely IN the
northern part of the State, and after pass
ing the winter on duty at Camp Chase
and JohnsoI's Island, was ordered to
Nashville in the spring of 1864. As it
passed through Louisville, its fine appear
ance-it WAS then filed to the maximum,
fully equipped and mounted, and under
perfect discipline-attracted the atten-
ton of General Burbridge, who obtained
permission to retain it in his department.
Its earlier active history is therefore con-
fined to Kentucky. It's first fighting was
done in June, 1864, in surprising and rout-
ing the forces of John Morgan at Mount
Sterling and Cyntbiana. In September it
participated in the disastrous Saltyille
raid, and in December renewed the at
tempt, with complete success. In Febru-
airy, 1865, it Joined in General Stoneman's
great IdIu IHrUU5H 1"~S ~O"O9SOO F"S~
western North Carolina, which cut off
the retreat of Johnston, and well-nigh
captured the fugitive rebel President.
Returning thence to Tennessee, the regi-
ment has since been quietly on duty at
various points in hat State and Northern
Georgia, until relieved by recent orders.
1t will be heartily welcomed home again.

TOP DRESSING.
General Grant, standing at the front of
the slightly-elevated platform, had pre-

the top and face of the heads of those APP

wildly than ever before the marvel and
wonder of the BARRIERS art. There was a
study worthy of poet or painter, or phi
losopher, involved in the observation of
the extraordinary mouldings, twistings
and contortions of the human hair pre-
sented as the crowd anne on, confusedly,
and with much rending of laces, up an
avenue of committeeman and officers. 1t

Gus, delicious, gorgeous, ~stupendous, out
rageous, in the arrangement of even the
ladies' hair; set off by beads ard bands,
and whole bouquets, and all gay and gilt
tering effects attainable by art. The col
ors, too, from the purest blonde to the in
tensest brunette, gave additional piquancy.
The gentlemen presented but little va
riety-that of middle parted and side
parted, curly and sleek heads. Of dress,
too, there was no lack, except, indeed, an
occasional deficiency about the shoulders
and arms-an hiatus non marine defea-

An undeveloped genius has recently
been discovered in Ireland in the person
of a lad sixteen years of age. The lad
has constructed, entirely unaided, apiece of
machinery in full motion, occupying a
ground space of some six or eight feet
square, and driven by a small water
wheel about four feet in diameter. On a
close inspection it was found that the va
rious wheels, cogs, cranks and spindles
were entirely Of wood, and were perform
ing simultaneously the varied operations
OF pumping, ehurning, hammering on an
anvil, a perpendicular saw, etc, but so
%.eleverly adapted to these respective uses
that the whole was driven with the most
perfect and easy motion by the water
wheel already alluded to-. The lad is a son
of a blacksmith living in KnOcruth coun-
ty, Wicklow, and has not been ten miles
from home.

The Chicago Tribune of Tuesday saws
We published yesterday a news para.
graph stating that Mrs. Lincoln had or
dered in Zwickau, Germany, a monument
for the grave of her husband, our late la
mented President. The paragraph. ac-
cording to our recollection, first appeared
IN the London correspondence of the Gin
cinnati Gazette. We-now learn that the1e
is no foundation for the statement. Mrs.
Lincoln has ordered no monument for the
grave OF her husband, nor does she mtend
to do so. She has left that work entirely
in the hands of the Lincoln Monument
Association at Springfield.
Mrs. Lincoln is residing at the Clifton
House in this city. Since the decease of
her husband she has made her permanent
abode in Chicago, living in great retire
ment and devoting herself to the educa-
ton Of her younger son. Her eldest son,
Robert is completing his studies in the
law office of Scammon, McCagg & Fuller

The Bennett well is yielding one hundred

Another good well has been struck OF
Bennehotf run, which flowed at the rate
OF l25 barrels per day from the start, and

interest Is owned by Ayers Codington,

There are-but few paaPle who realize
the actual value of a flowing wei. and
1t is only after the figures are put upon
paper that we are enabled to see the great
wealth which is poured out of a good well
IN a year. We are led to these remarks
by figuring upon No. 47-the "Burchell
Well HOlmden Farm. This well is pro-
duclng 200 barrels daily, which multiplied
by 1868, gives two hundred and ffty-fve

80, making a grand total of one million,
two hundred and seventy-seven thousand
five hundred dollars.

the provisions of law for the free entry of

wilkins charged the jury that the defence
was u%ntenable, because the party visited
the foreign country for the very purpose of
bringing the clothing upon his BODY. with
the deEign of thereby escaping the paw

The AInhama CIaim.

The foreign news brought us by yester-
day mornings telegraphic reports mentions
a continuance of the correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Adams and Earl Russell on
the subject of the claims ofour government
for damages from the d~epredations of the
Alabama. The meagre Geographic abstract
of Earl Russelrs letter affords us no opportu
nifty to judge either of the tone and spirit,
or of the ability, with which he maintains
his position, but it is evident that he has
not abandoned it. What response, if any,
he has given to the inquiry-which, it has
been stated, was made by Secretary Sew
ard some weeks since-whether, in case
the United States should consent to the
appointment of a commission, England
would allow this claim to 60 before that
body, we know not.
The leading English papers are evident
ly of the opinion hat no war will result
from the difference between the two ma
tions. In this they arc probably right.
The United States can do much better
than so to war with Great Britain. 1t can
simply accept the British doctrine of bel
ligerent rights, and put it in practice
against that country at the earliest con-
senient opportunity. In this way the
American merchants and carriers who
lost heavily, directly and indirectly, from
the ravages of rebel cruisers, and the con-
sequent driving of the carrying trade into
British bottoms, will have an excellent or
portunity to replenish their Golfers. The
treacherous policy of England will be re-
taliated upon her W head, and the
British ship-owners who encouraged and
engaged in rebel privateering will be con-
WINGED of their folly by a most potent az
gumentlm ad hOminna. By patiently
watching our opportunity and then apply
ing this principle, we have the power to
deal 'ths -Ai-t-ose Of tLv ee~sp - terrible
blow and at the same time assume her
proud empire owe the ocean. This is
what the London Nelcs is fearing when it
talks about "a state of nominal peace,
which has many of the disadvantages of
Such a state of peace existed be-
tween the United States and England dur
ing the rebellion, and our American ship
owners can keenly appreciate its disad-
vantages. We propose, if England refus-
es to pay our just claim upon her, to re-
verse the application of her own rules,
and give hor a taste of similar disadvan-
ages, resulting from such a nominal
peace.

equally liable. Under this treaty, there

OIL Mrwe
PifhoIe InfeIIirenee.


\ dispatch has been received from Pit
hole, announcing the stoppage of another
large well belonging to the United States
P.f--I0Aul O0uiPdnJ.
Notwithstanding the bad news from
Plthole concerning the stoppage of the
United States and Deshler wells, and the
reduced flow of other large wells, the hearts
of some oil operators continue to be made
glad by good strikes on that famous creek
and in its neighborhood. The Rice we'll,
formerly known as No. ) Morey Farm,
has doubled its yield within the past week,
one thousand barrels per day. The in
crease in this well commenced with the re-
moval of the lower valve on Wednesday,
and increased daily about one hundred
and fifty barrels, until it now ranks as the
best producing well on the creek. A num-
Der of wells on the Mercy and HoImden
Farms were tubed last week and give
promise of being good institutions.
Another l%ubricating oil well was struck
in the Pithole region on Thursday. 1t
took place on the Connolly Farm. The
well had reached the depth of 375 feet
when the drill struck an eighteen inch
crevice and oil commenced flowing over
the well. The yield is a heavy lubricating
oil.
The Van Horn well on Allender Run,
two miles from Pithole, was flowing on
Thursday, at the rate of fifty barrels per
day, and steadily increasing. The oil is
of heavy gravity. The Central Basin
Company are testing a wellin the vicinity
of the Van Horn, at a depth of eight hun
bred and eighty feet, with good prospects
for oil.
From twelve to fourteen wells are going
down OF the Sweetser Farm, about one
mile east of Pithole, with some indica-
tons of oil.
No. las, Thomas Holmden Farm, Pit
hole creek, is now flowing at the rate of
25O barrels per day. The well wa pump
ed for over a week without success, and
commenced to flow very suddenly.
The indications are that No. 76 Holmden
will prove a five hundred barrel
well.

Operations in Crawford Comfy.

-
That portion of the middle bran o
Sugar Creek, which passes through Troy
township, Crawford county, is attracting
much attention of late, through recentl
discoveries Of the best quality of lubrica
ting oil. The MeadvilIe Republican thusV
refers to operations in that locality: On
what is known as the Barton Farm, Tract
l29, Troy township, a splendid strike is
reported. The well is said to Weld 100
barrels per day of superior l~ubricating oil.
Probably the quantity rapartsd-ir-o xag=
gerated, but that a good well is in opera
ton there we are well assured bv a relia-
BILE authority, The well, we believe, is
the property of Il Philadelphia Company.
Onthe same farm, about a halfa mile fur
Their down, a Chicago Company is putting
down a well, and the show is so encoura-
ging that they have stopped boring and
are tubing preparatory to pumping. The
company engaged in putting down
the Armstrong well struck a vein of oil
three or four weeks ago, which on being
tested made a fair yield, but they have
since sunk their well deeper and struck a
stronger vein two or three DAYS ago.
Samples ofthe oil from this well prove it
to be Of superior quality for lubricatinr
purposes. The Clappville Petroleum
Company have sunk their well to a depth
of nine hundred feet, and report a good
show. They are now in the fourth sand
rock, which proves to be about one hun
dred feet in thickness and on Wednesday
their tools broke, andas soon as they are
removed, in the course of the present week
probably, they will resume operations.
The result of their enterprise is looked to
with much interest as theyars now boring
in the strata of rock under which is found
great wells at Pithole.
"On the Russell Farm the Sugar Creek
Oil Company has, we are informed, lust
struck u sixteen barrel well of the same
lualit y of oil found on the Shipper farm.
A new well on the Bumpus farm above
.ooperstown is reported yielding from Is
% 20 barrels per day.
A new well was struck on Brandon
Island, four miles below Franklin, lasi
week, and is said to ba pumping one hum
Ired barrels daily, and improving.
