Practice Va. PreccDt

It Is needless to remind our readers of
the pharissicsl humor with which John
Bull, rolling up the whites of his eyes and
drawing down the corners of his mouth,
has lectured the American people upon the
utter enormiiy of Punishing the leaders in
the great and bloody treason against the
Union We only refer to it because we
find, in the columns of recent English pa
pers, a refreshing illustration of the SINGER
ity of the appeals and ~hsrangues referred
to. An Irishmsn was tried in Ireland on
the 18th NIt, convicted, and sentenced to
seven years penal imprisonment. What
was his crime2 Tresson2 Levying war
against the British government Plunging
it into a struggle for very existence, in
which thousands of lives and millions Of
treasure were wasted2 Nothing of the
sort. His offense was simply trying
mark you, he was not successful-trying 10
induce soldiers to desert from the British
army. The judge that sentenced him
gravely remarked, in addressing his pris-
oner, tbst his crime was next to treason,
and n of the greatest that he could be
guilty of. And yet, while Englishmen are
sending Insignificant and harmless Feni-
ans to seven yesrs hard labor in the gslleys
for such minor offenses as this, they join in
one grand chorus of indignation because

ON Creek nnd VicInI1y.

Probably the most exciting new from
Oil Greek and vicinity we hsy had for
some time was the sudden stoppsge of the
famous Coquette well, on the Hyde & Egg
bert Farm near Petroleum Centre. This
stoppsge was ocoasioned by the drill in the
new Graf s. Hssssn well, on lot No. Is,
Egbert Farm, striking q large c%revice,
which permitted the gas to escape. The
Coquette Well has long been known as the
HQueen of Petrolis," and has produced
more oil within the last year than any well
in the country. 1t commenced to flow on
the first of November last. 1t Wss then
estimated at seven hundred barrels. It has
decreased somewhat since then, and
at the time of its failure, its flow
was estimated at four hundred barrels -
We are Informed that its production has
amounted, from first to last, to the enor-
NOUS sum of one hundred and forty thou
sand barrels. Some time subsequent to its
opening, seven forty-eighths were sold for
$350,000. The interests are held by va
rious companies and private individuals.
The announcement of It's failure caused no
little sensation, and it will be gratifying to
its owners to know that it was of short du-
ration. The Ccquette, after playing the
coquette for 8 few Gays, resumed Its flow on
Wednesday, and is now yielding two hun
dred barrels per day, while the new well is
as dry ss an old musket.
A flowing we'll is reported to have been
struck on the HalzalI fats, at the depth of
ninetysssix feet. One hundred barrels is
said 70 be the yield
A number Of old wells have been started
up on the Buchanan Farm, also On the
McClintOck Farm. The supply of oil in
that vicinity is nearly one hundred and
fifty barrels per day more than it was two
weeks ago. The Hubbard Well, twenty
five barrels; No. 81, fifteen barrels; No.
81, twenty barrels. A new well on IA is
estimeted at twenty bsrrels. at the Tsrr
Farm business is unusually brisk, also the
Blood Farm, on which u new we'll was
struck Thursday, estimated at two hun
dred barrels per day. 1t is called the
Crouch Well. Ten new derrick nave
been erected over these two farms, and
that many wells will soon be in operation.
Nothing new on the Story Farm. The
shaft at Petroleum Centre Is progressing
finely. Bennehof excitement still RACES,

strnincnnt provisn.

Heretofore troops that have been mus
tered out have been sent to their respective
State capitals fer final payment and dis.
charge. The order of the War Depart
ment photographed to General Sheridan,
however, which authorizes him to muster
out in Texas such troops ss he thinks can
be dispensed With, contains the following
significant clause "The muster out, dis
charges and payments will be made under
the regulations promulgated in general Or
ders, except that officers and men who de.
sire to receive their discharges and payment
st the rendezvous where mustered out, will
be permitted to do So" The meaning of
this will be readily understood, when it is
remembered that such of these men as
might desire to aid the Liberals in Mexico
are thus placed at liberty to do SO, and
with the privilege of retaining their arms,
and are virtually furnished free trsnspor-
tstiOn to the very spot where the Mexicans
may need their services. The Depart
ment suggests that probably many of these
men, at any rate, wish to settle along the
Texan frontier.

The AIIantie CabIe.

On Saturday, July 23d, after many de-
lays and dissppointments, the splice be-
tween the eastern shore cable and theocesn
cable was effected of Vslentia, and the
procefs Of paying out from the Great East
ern commenced immediately. On Monday
afternoon, the 24th, it was discovered that
there was a failure in the insulation of the
Of the main cable, and that part of it al
ready laid had to be under-run, and the
defect repaired. This caused q fur
Their delay until Tuesday, when
the real work commenced. An arrange
ment has been made by which dispatches
are sent through the cable from the Great
Eastern to Valentis, for every fifty miles
run, go that the English public are kept
constantly informed SIS to the progress of
the enterprise. We have, by the usual
channel of communication with Europe,
news to the 28.h, at which date four
hundred and fifty miles Of the cable
had been paid out, and all was
well. Taking the rate of speed for the
ffst four days occupied in laying
the deep sea cable as a fair average (sbout
three miles an hour the Great EASTERN

two vet, and we must remember that ow-

the cable with the lines leading to the

Hqur sust event lake. place. And yet with
every mile Of the cable successfully paid
out the weight to be carried is diminished
and the speed of the steamer proportion
ally increased. Taking this into consider
alton, it is to be inferred that unless some
accident has occurred, the Great Eastern Is
now over due, and with every hour that
elspses before she is heard from, the popu-
lar disbelief in the success of the great ex-
pertinent will grow stronger. And it
must be confessed that disbelief is the pre-.
vsiling sentiment on the subject. The
failure of previous attempts to lay a trans
Atlantic cable; the unfortunate giving out,
Just at this period, of the cable in the Bay
of Fundy, after having been worked for
years, from corrosion snd consequent
defects in insulation; the arguments urged
by prominent electricians to demonstrate
the scientific impossibility Of working q
circuit of sixteen hundred miles; the delays
and difficulties experienced in the very
outset of the present enterprise; and finally
the break in the cable, which occurred dur
ing the first twenty-four hours ofpsying out
and which it required two days to repair
have all made the public very %incredulous
as to the probabilities of success. It is
however useless to speculate, when 8 very
few hours, or days st farthest, will solve the
problem.

Tne tennessee Election.

The Tennessee election, for the choice Of
State Legislature and members of Con-
gress, which took place on Thursday last,
seems to have been 5 very spiritless con-
test. Very few votes were cast and the re-
suit is as yet in doubt, so meagre are the
returns. 1t seems only certain that Judge

Nashville district, and that Horace Nay

The sinmese ruins.

Chang and Eng, the celebrated sismese
twins, came down on the City Point from
Richmond, en- route for the Northern cities
for exhibition. 1t is five years since they
we're North. During the War they have
remained at their home, Mount Ally, Sur
rey county, North Carolina Like most of
Southern residents during the war, they
have suffered loss of property from the
depredstions of soldiers and Southern con-
scription, and have entered on their present
tour to TecUperAte their shattered fortunes.
They are now in their fifLy-ffth year and
in good health. Increasing age has told on
them somewhat, making more gray their
hair, and adding to the wrinkles on their
faces. From q conversation with them I
learn that each has nine children-one six
son and three daughters, and the other
six daughters and three sons. All the
children are perfectly formed. Each con-
tributed a son to the rebel army; one of
them was wounded, and the other taken
prisoner. Both say they loved the old
Stars and Stripes; but when their State
seeded they considered it their duty to go
with it. They left tonight on the James

Considerable i'll feeling still exists COZ
corning the distribution being now made
of part of the appropriation OF W. hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars voted by
the last Congress as additional compeDsa-
ton for Clerks in the Treasury Depart
ment. Secretary McCulloch very wisely
determined to use the money to secure the
services of his most efficient and indispen-
sable employees. The object Of the apprc'
priation was TO enable Mr.. Spinner to say
TO his cashier, " Don't accept tnst bank Of
fer" or the Comptroller of the Treasury to
say to Mr.. Howard, IL can pay you such
q salary as will make it clearly to your in
terest to remain with me-" and go on
through the list of men who, by natural
aptitude, and long experience, are worth
more in their respective places h half a
dozen ne y and inexperienced public SER
wants. The heads Of the different bureaus
concur almost unanimously in the distribu-
tion of the Secretary. Their experience Is
thst of every business man in the COM
munity. If all their low clsssed clerks
were to leave tomorrow their places could
be filled in twenty four hours by Others
equally competent at the same salaries
but with clerks of q high order of talent
and ability it is altogether different. They
are extremely scsrce, and their places not
easily filed. Their services are absolutely
necessary to the speedy and correct trans
action of the business of the Department.
In addition to this the clamor of interested
clerks and the criticisms of the New York
Tribune are founded on the grossest mis-
representations. So far from its being true
as stated in that Journal, that "the Secrets-
~ of the Treasury has divided this plum
two hundred and fifty thousand dollsrs)
among those clerks VINO are already bes
paid" but a moiety of the SUN has been
touched at all. The addition TO the pay Of
the clerks is only for the quarter ending
on July l, and the increased expenditure
is only a. the rate OF fifty thousand dollars
per anuum. Secretary McOulloch is I'M
derstood to be Indifferent TO the whole
matter. The appropriation was not one of
his asking. If there is any continued OPP
position manifested to his method of dis
Iributirg the fund he will abandon it
altogether and return the unexpended
portion, amounting to at lesst two hundred
and thirty. five thousand dollars, to the next
Congress, and leave that boiy TO make n
specific and final designation OF the money.
