CONSPIRACY FRUSTRATED.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 27.-The Custom
House authorities have discovered and
frustrated another plot to fit out a pratt
cal schooner in this port. Two detectives
gained the confidence of Michael Hays,
the apparent leader of the conspiracy, who
was arrested by the Provost Guard on Sat-
urday, and is now in Fort Albatross. 1t
was proposed to purchase the schooner So
lon, armed with one gun and smuggle her
out of port, seize larger vessel, and Ill
timately one of the Treasure Steamers.
Hays was provided with letters of
marque from the rebel authorities. His
accomplices are not yet known.

Wednesday the 2lst. The next day bis
inf&ntry crossed on pontoons which he had
removed above the shoals out of reach Of
our gunbOats.
One of the prisoners states that Hood
entered Tennessee With 10 cannon. He
counted twenty-five on bis retreat on Sat-
urday.
When twelve miles this side the Ten

the direction of Florence; probably Stead

How the Men Fared..Destruction Of

VS. make the following extracts from
private letter of an officer of the Second
Minnesota:
Our march through Georgia has been emf
nently successful, our loss small, marches light
and food of the best kind. The enlisted men
had better tables than many hotels get up.
Nice fat hogs were running loose along the
line Of march, squealing to be killed, but the
boys had so many chickens and turkeys that
hogs were kicked out of the road Sweet POI
tatoes were in abundance. and in most in
stances were buried by the road side, 30 it gave
US no trouble to get them. Molasses and
sugar were found in sufficient quantities to
supply this amy for months The army new
or lived better than while on this raid.
Destruction has been the word from the time
of leaving Kingston. Immense amounts of
cotton and innumerable cotton gins have been
burned also mills and manufactures, and in
fact all property in which the confederacy was
interested, was ruthlessly destroyed.
Georgia railroads are gone up. believe We
have perfectly destroyed at least 400 miles, and
they can hardly BE- repaired for the rails were
nearly all twisted or bent double Thousands
of valuable horses and mules have been cap

followed us in And now we are safely through

the war. We Lost one man killed one man

II The Editor Of the Pioneer:
We arrived at this place last night, and found
Brevet Major Gen. j. Il. Wilson's hsadquar-
tiers Chief of Cavalry seven miles in rear of his
command, with two corps of infantry around
his headquarters. If Hood escapes there is no
one to blame but the cavalry. If they had
been out of the way of Smiths guerillas, I
have no doubt but we should have been able
to take most of them into camp.
Minnesota is well represented in Smiths
command by the 5th, 7th, 9th and 10th Regi-
ments. They belong to the LIST division, and
made the gallant charge that carried the strong
works of the enemy and put Hoods whole ar
my to route. They captured in connection
with the I'd division, forty pieces Of artillery

New YORK, Dec. 30.-The latest rebel
newspapers received contain manifesto
from jeff. Davis giving notice that the pi-
rate Bennett G. Burley, concerned in the
capture of vessels on Lake Erie and an at
tempt to seize the United States steamer
and liberate the prisoners on Johnson
Island, who was recently released from ar
rest in Toronto, is regularly commits
stoned officer in the rebel navy, and was
despatched from Richmond specially for
the purpose Of executing the work which
he endeavOred to carry out. .pv
Some of the Richmond papers are ur-
gent in their demand that Gen. Lee should
be made commander-in-chief of all the
rebel armies, or dictator.
In the rebel house of representatives a
resolution declaring that the writ of ha-
beas corpus ought not to be suspended
was defeated by Al negative to 81 affirm.

The Richmond Sentinel foresees for

the evacuation Of Savannah by our troops
and the occupation of the city by Sher'

the enemy another point on our coast.
The ocean front of Georgia will be exposed
like the ocean front Of North Carolina
and Virginia, to species of hostilities
that will annoy without weakening, and
without strengthening the foe. Its prob
able, however, that formidable attempt
on Charleston will be an early consequence

The OIL Product or PennsyIvauia
From the Cleveland ,ohio, Leader.

From the Cleveland tOhio> Leader
To these who are unacquainted with the
facts in connection with the discovery and
development of oil in Pennsylvania, an
exhibit Of the actual production of oil fur
Hishes material for important reflection.
The business has already become so ex-
tensive that petroleum furnishes that me-
dunn of exchange with foreign countries,
which was lost in the cotton kept out Of
market by the rebellion. In 1862, the
entire exports amounted to 1912, O2O
gallons; in ten months of 1863, to 26, O7O,-
$50 gallons, and since the LIST of January,
1854, to 30, 49,, O2O gallons. In its mag
nitude it already completes with the coal
and iron interests of that State. The esti-
mated value of the petroleum found in
Pennsylvania during the last twelve
months, is two millions of barrels, which
at eleven dollars barrel, high average;
was worth at the wells, twenty-five mil
lions Of dollars. ---
The pig-iron of Pennsylvania during the
same time amounted to 100000 tons,
which at an average Of $50 per ton,
produced $37, 100000. The coal product
for the same time is estimated at IL, o0O,-
900 tons. This at an average price Of
$3.50 per ton, would make $4,000, 900.
The grand total OF coal, iron and oil
would therefore reach the enormous sum
sum of $3.50, 100000.
These figures show that petroleum,
which has been com. ,aratively but q few
months in development, promises in the
course of the next year to take precedence
of both iron and coal in the State of Penn
sylvania ..,...
Arrangements are being made for sink
ing vast number OF wells during the com.
ing summer, so that in one year from this
time the number of wells in operation will
be three or four times those now pumping
or flowing. In addition to this are the re-
gions in Southern Ohio, Western Virginia,
and Eastern Kentucky, that promise to
make vast additions to the amount of oil
already produced. No one can form any
adequate idea of what will be the results
when the production of oil reaches point
far beyond its present position. 1t will, if
we are not much mist ken, attain during
the coming year v.liue four times the
present annual aggregate, and thus mate
rally aid in keeping down foreign ex-
change, beside adding immensely to the
material interests Of the country. AS yet
there have BEEN no statistics that have
shown the actual amount of oil produced.
1t is estimated at from four to five millions
of barrels.
