New YonK, Jan. 1.
The Richmond Examiner Of the Goth
says: The scigc Of Wilmington is over.
The Geographic dispatches tell the whole
story, which is as follows
WILMINGTON, Dec 29.-The Federal
feet has disappeared. Only the usual
blockaders remain Gen. Bragg reports
that with his present means and DISPOSE
ton Of forces, no danger need be appre-
hended. Had achievements arrived soon
ar Sse might have captured prisoners.-
The enemy drew up IN semi circie, usso
poured in conccntricc in Fl. Fisher, de-
stroying every house and ploughing up
the gvound. Coils Lamb and Jameson dc
serve much credit, as well as the Junior Re-
serves The enemy threw many horses
overheard during the gale, and suffered
otherwise. There was another gale last
night"
The Richmond Examiner of the Goth SAYS
the enemy sllclled our lines between Dunlap
and Petersburg yesterday with great vigor
but absolutely no effect. Our guns wasted
no ammunition in reply.
There is q rumor that Yankee troops re
again crossing to the north bank Of James
River, but they made no appearance in front
Of the lines Of Richmond.

appeared in York River, and that some
troops had been landed at White House.
The Examiner in an irOnical article, says
if Porter had thrown his bitters overheard,
perhaps no storm would have blown the
fleet TO sea, and dcranged the ply siquc and
morale OF the invincblc Armada.
The Eruminsr says that an official tclc.
gram at the War Department states that two
brigadcs of negro troops and one of white
cavalry left Memphis Dec 81, moving on
the State Line Road. The advance reached
the Faycttc depot on the god. The object of
the movement is undevclopcd.
The Wing OF the 9th ult. considers the
only point gained in the capture Of Savannah
is its moral effect, and that not much in a
military point. 1t says it was of no value
to us whatever.
The Wing expects Sherman to move on
Richmond and says Gle is the very genius
we desire to sec. lie brings with him some
thousands Of those Western veterans whose
might we desire to tcst-for Grant has with
him 1000 veterans. and the rest are the riff

about to transfer his army ordnance, maya

New Postage Stamp.

A selfcancelling postage stamp has
been invented. Instead of moistering
the back of these stamps, the face, being
gummed, is dampened and placed on the
letter as usual, when such an impression
on the face of the letter renders their re-
moval impossible. If by any process, the
stamps are taken off, it must be destroyed, :,
while the impression remains plainly up
on the letter. The self-caucellins opera
tlon will save a vast amount of time and
labor in all our post offices, and insures Sc
curity against being reused or picked off
by thieves. The main point of inquiry
now appears to be, whether these light
and delicate stamps will be found able to-
resist the action Of heat in warm weather,
and be as completely portable as the pres
ent issue ; whether, in folding them, they
would not adhere to each other, or break
so as to disfiSure the vignette.

too, the old oil wells which have existed
for ages have been hunted up, and in ma
ny instances by Yankees, and petroleum
(the word, and not the substance) il IN
the mouth of the whole world AS case
in point, one of the Boston papers states
that Col. Gowan, of that city (the Yankee
who took the contract to raise the sunken
vessels in the harbor of Sebastapool, if I
mistake not) was lately en- route from st.
Petersburgh, Russia, through Georgia
and Circassia. In the neighborhood Of
the sea of Azof, he stumbled upon somo
old oil wells, bought them for a song,and
now delights the gaping natives by draw
ing grease out of the earth with steam.
This question is solely theoretical, and
can be demonstrated only by time. The
best opinions are, however, that Petrole-
um is iuexhaustible, that the transforms
tion which the earth is constantly under
going causes perpetual deposit of vege-
tatlon beneath the surface of the earth;
and the distillation of this vegetable mat;
ter forming constituents of Petroleum,
the geologists argue that the supply is
boundless. Oil men are quite willing to
leave the subject to the savans. It IS
quite enough for the disciples of Petrolia
to know that the oil now exists in vast
quantities, and they are determined that
while geologists theorize, they will pump
The Petroleum interest is, of course,
only in its infantcy, but the product of
last year shows the commercial interest
which the oil is rapidly attaining. There
are no means of estimating, even approx
imately, the quantity of oil consumed in
this country during 1864, and the only
way in which an idea of the gross produc-
tion can be formed is by referring to the
expectation.

The Way Deserters Look at Things.

A correspondent from the Army, of the
Potomac writing under date Feb. 25thi
says: A squad of deserters who came
over on Thursday night were fired upon
furiously, but, strange to tell, not man
of them was injured. After they reach
ed place of safety, some of our men in
quired how it was that they all escaped,
"Oh," said the spokesman of the party:
"them fellers fired too high to hit us p
Yes, yes" returned the picket officer.
''but why did they fire so high? ?" ooh!
why, don't you know 2" answered the
rebel; "well, it's because they are coming
over themselves tomorrow night r'-
Another lot of ffty-three deserters from
South Carolina regiment, who also came
in on Thursday night, reported them
selves as "peace commissioners" They
said that as Messrs. Stephens, Hunter
and Campbell had failed to make terms
with the Administration and bring them
back into the Union, they concluded to
come over themselves and see what they
could accomplish in that line. One Of
this number declared that they had gone
into this war to put down the heresy that
a negro is as good as a white man )" but
as that doctrine was now apparently about
to be adopted at the South, and the ne
groes were to be placed In the ranks there
and made their equals, they wished to go
North, where there were fewer of such
equals to be found The introduction of
negro soldiers into the Southern army is
represented as being exceedingly distaste-
ful to the white men, and likely to make
desertions far more numerous than ever,
