The Herald and LEADER make the same
mistake in giving the name of Maior Gen.

daughter of Cleveland. The Generals
name is August-not Augustus.
It is peculiarly gratifying to the young

that their quondam and honored Colonel

Especial Correspondence Of the CleTslsnd LEADEs-
PITHoLE CITI, Sept IA, 1865.
Some matters of interest have trsnspired
here since my last letter. All the large
wells are producing their ususl quantity OF
oil with an increase in some of the smaller
ones, thus showing conclusively that the
OIL Fountain is located here beyond all
question. Two large wells are reported
this evening, one on the Holmden and the
other on the Rocker farm. These farms
are SO prolific of good wells, that large
flowing well has ceased to be wonder,
and the magnitude OF the oil business is
only determined by the number of adven-
turers in search for oil, and their efforts
are generally crowned with great success
The Holmden farm, owned by Thomas
G. Duncan, Eaq, of Pittsburgh, and Geo
O. Crother, of Plumer, Pa, was sold By
them to-day for two millions of dollars
cash. This sale is one fourth the oil and
the town lots, with reserve of one acre
each to the former owners. These gentle
men have in one year made millions in
this vicinity, and have still left large and
valuable property, promising great devel-
opments and great augmentation of their
alresdy acquired millions. Il is rumored

A NIaHT on THE RAIL.

The evening was passed in forming &C
quAintances, whist playing and general
conversation, in which the peculisrities of
our foreign guests had ample opportunity
of display. Governor Walker was the
principsl conversationalist and it was
amusing 10 observe the handsome way in
which the various discussions we're msn-
aged by that adroit old politician. There
was occasion also for the display of little
Spanish politeness, which Senor Lilo, the
representative of monsrchies and millions,
did with infinite grace. Mr. Wsnn, Of
New York, was the chief caterer to the
entertainment, as we'll as the appetites of
the travellers, being continually on the alert,
administering to their bodily comtorts as
well as their intellectual qualification.
