From Lhe Je6crs0niar
LRG BROKEN.--We regret to learn that
MIR. Adam Shriver, Of jackson township
fell upon the slippery road, one day lasi
week, and broke his leg. The roads and
pavcments have been so slippery recently
that is a wonder more more accidents Of thi,
kind have not happened.
REVIVAL A revival Is in progress al
the Methodist Church in this place, which
has already resulted in many persons dcclar-
ing their faith in Christ The meeting is
held in the morning and evening, and the
church is always crowded with an attentive
audience. Rev. Ellison is the pastor in
charge.
A SERIOUS FIGHT.-Two men named
Carr and John Meek got into quarrel on
Saturday last, which resulted in serious
accident to the latter. They determined to
settle their dispute by the power Of muscle,
and during the fight the leg of Meek was
by some means broken. Meek is paroled
prisoner, living in Adams township, and
Carr belongs to this place.
RELIGIoUS.-A friend informs us that a
very happy state Of religious feeling exists
in the Presbyterian Church at Washington,
Of which Rev w. II. Ferguson is pastor
At late communion thirteen persons were
added to the church, six of whom were heads
of families. Mr.. Ferguson has.bceu preach
ing to his people day and night for two
weeks, and, as he breaches the gospel and
eschews politics, his efforts have resulted in
the conversion Of many souls. The pulpit
is not the place in which to spout blood and
thunder loyalty and believing this, Mr..
Ferguson has nothing for his hearers but
the old gospel uGdicine-the blood of Christ
and the wisdom that is from above. The
world needs such ministers. ...
On WELLAT CAMBRIDGE. Tho question
whether oil exists in this neighborhood will
soon be subjected to practical test. We
learn that Pittsburg company intend, as
soon as the weather becomes favorable, to
commence boring Oh Wills creek in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of Cambridge. Other wells
will be opened in the same noighborhood.
We learn also that parties are engaged in
leasing lands all along the Central Ohio
Railroad, from Cambridge to Spencer Sta
ton. We advise our friends to think twice
before disposing Of their lands to these spec
ulators. There is nodoubt that better prices
will be offered in few months. The men
who are as the head Of the leasing business
would not venture so freely in leasing lands
it they were not pretty sure of the cxistencs
OF oil in this region. "A word to tho wise
is sslficicut." t..... a

There appears to be disposition among
members of Congress, tu hold the people Of
the country strictly to the war policy Of
President Lincoln. Sh0ad any Of the fol
loving amendments, now pcndiag before the
House military committee, be adopted, the
people will learn to their cost, that when
they vote war upon themselves, they must
be prepared to carry it out.
AMETDhGNI5 TO THE CONSERVATION LAW
Some OF the amendments now before the
House Military Committee relative to the
consc,iption law are asfon0wa To fix the
payment of half Of the bounty at the expi.
ration Of the term of service, and the other
half in quarter yearly instafments during
the term, to make the principal responsible
the good conduct of his substitute and Ia-
bic to immediate service in the army, if the
substitute deserts; another, abolishing the
,'nbstituto business entirely and holding the
pro,, erty Of drafted men subjected to confs-
cation. II they run away; and, still another,
to disfranc.e .eise dcserters and drafted runa-

A horrible tragedy occurred in the Ohio
Ponitentlary on last Thursday morning. A
negro convict, named Edward Drew, SEN
fenced from jackson County iorlife, for the
murder Of his father, and who has for some
years been subject to fits Of insanity, at
tackled Daniel Ileayey, the oldest gliard in
the Penitentiary, with shoe knife, which
reached his heart, the blade breaking off at
the handle. He also attacked several other
convicts, but without infIicting any injury.
Heayey, who is quite an old man, after he
was stabbed, followed the negro short dis
tance, and then fell to the ground and i'm
mediately expired, Hcavey has been a
guard at the Penitentiary for thirty years
aud is the same officer of whom John Nor
gan said, in his speech at Richmond, after
escaping from the Ohio Penitentiary, that
if all officers Of the Prison had been as yigi-
liant and faithful as Heavey, the Confeder-
ates would not have escaped as they did. ~
Drew, the murdered, says that he commit
ted the dead because he had determined to
kill some efiicer Of the Prison before the 18Th
of January, as he had made up his mind
that he would rather be executed for MUIR
der than remain in the Prison for life. The
man is evidently insane, or totally depfslv-

ioGIug memorandum Of information elected
from one OF their number: Ike says he was
stationed during and since the bombard-
mcnt in tie naval battery buchanan, com
manded by Lieut.. Champnan, and situated
near the mound: that there were between
FIVE and SIX hundred men in the forts on the
two days of the attack, and no troops in
Wilmington to reinforce them; that the fire
from the Acct was so fierce as to drive the
rebels from their guns aud into their bomb
proofs throughout the greater portion of
thcir works, soon after the commencement
o. the action; that two Of their guns burst,
killing and wounding some twenty-five men;
that We dsmantlad eight of their guns be-
sides iniuring several Of their gun-carriages;
that we killed 3 men and wounded 30: that
Gen, Whiting supposed the boats which
were sent into the bar on the 25th, to be a
storming PARTY Of scamen, to which he
would have been obliged to surrender; that
the rapid bombardment at sunset was. ter
riic; that when our troops appeared in front
Of the fort the garrison only awaited their
assault to surrender without resistance; that
they could not imagine why attack had been
abandoned, that matters remained in the
Same condition on the morning on the 26tb,
and throughout that day; that We could ca
silly have possessed ourselves Of the forts till
late in the afternoon, when Bragg arrived
at Wilmington with 5000 men from l,ee's $

embarking, Bragg decided not 70 modest us.
