voters registered in the county, which falls
short of the former voting population about
900. Large numbers of the Union men
failed to come forward, trusting, in defiance
of the plain requirements of the law to their
former sterling Union principles to insure
them the privilege of voting without being
registered. The rebels came forward much
more generally, where there was ghost of
chance, trying to get registered. Many
who were known sympathizers with. and
aiders of, the rebellion, pressing forward and

CATAwBA WINE.-We received, a

Shobe. of Principle, in this county, bottle
of his superior Catawba wine, three years
old.
Mr.. Shobe is a practical vine grower and
wine maker, having acquired his knowledge
| in Europe. among the vineyards of the Con-
tnent. where the art has reached perfection.
He has quite large variety of grapes
embracing the choicest kinds. and persons
desiring to procure choice vines with full in
structions in the modus operand of cultiva
ton, will find it to their advantage to pay

He is also the author of very valuable
treatise. published in pamphlet form, on the
cultivation of grapes, and wine making.
A VALUABLE GUN.-We we're shown
last week by Mr.. Robert B. Goodyear, Il
most exquisitely finished gun. a present to
Mr.. Goodyear by his friend Col H. jerks,
of Brdesburg The gun was manufactured
at the Bridesburg Works, from which. during
the war. 100000 Enfield rifles were turned
out for the government. The barrels were
composed of Enfield rifle barrels, dressed
up as fow ling pieces, and the stock was made
and mounted with silver in the most exqui-
site manner. The cost of the piece was
$50. When such guns can be manufactur-
ed at home, it is worse than useless to send
to Europe for fine pieces

The New Issue Of seve:,-Tbirties,

The telegraph yesterday morning an
nounced that the extraordinary SUCCESS of
the recent issus of Seven-thirties, under
the agency Of Jay Cooke, has Induced the
Secretary of the Treasury to lay before the
people another series of this popular loan.
The first issue viii be of $500, 900, 900, on the
first of June next. The notes will be in all
respects like tho present issue of fSeven-thir-
ties. They win be unlike them only in the
period of time fixed for their convertabili-
ty. They will have ten months longer to
run than theSeven-thirties before they can
bechanged into gold-besring Five-twenties.
By q very large class of investers this dif-
ference viii be considered to impsrt greater
value to the new issue. The balance Of the
$6OO,OOO,OOo viii probably bes year longer
in maturing than the June issue.
This tina will be definitely fixed as the
sales Of the June issue approach the end.
It may be that that balance will not be re-
quired ct all; that the first $500 OO0, 900
will meet the necessities Of the Government.
It is expected that this first issue will be
disposed of in three months. The agency
of the present Seven .thirties, with all its
machinel will be employed for the whole
of the new loan. sti

Anothfr Rebel 20. .ou..sge on Color


Another Rebel OutEBge ON COIOred
frisOHers.
The telegraph yesterday morning makes
mention Of transaction which caps the
climax in the infamous history of the treat
ment Of our eolo1ed prisoners by the rebels.
Two thousand Of them, captured at Ber-
wick Bay, were taken to Houston, Texas,
and sold into slavery, though it was well
known that they were emAnoipated by the
United States and were entitled to be treat
ed IS prisoners of war. And this is done,
too, while the Confederate authorities are
themselves engaged in srming slaves to
defend the cause of rebellion No Ian
gusge can adequately express the atrocious
infamy of this crime.
If any act on the part of the rebel au-
thorities ever demanded prompt and thor
ough retalistion, it is tins. Our govern
ment is bound 10 give protection to its SOL
diers, black as well as white. Let it i'm
medistely put an equal number Of rebel
officers in our hands to hard work, and
notify the rebels that this course will be
continued until these soldiers are reclaimed
and treated as prisoners of war. The his
tory of previous retaliation shows that
wherever it has been promptly and sternly
adopted, the rebels have yielded. Let vi
try its efficacy once more.

The following telegram to the Pittsburg
Dispatch gives some additional particulars
in regard to the recent great flood in the
oil regions:
FRANKLIN, March 1.-THE river has
risen since last night fourteen feet. Most
Of the bridges are swept away, and no com
munication with any place by rail. The
whole of the lower part of Oil City Was
swept away houses with inmates floating
on the river. 1t is impossible to estimate
the loss and distress. A t1
The river is filed with everything per-
tsining TO the oil trade. The railroad to
MesdviIle cannot be repaired for several
days. The Oil City Railroad is also under
water, and the damage is great. The old
est inhsbitants say the river is higher than
they have ever known it before. =l

o'clock.

GENERAL Lee fn Desnair.

We have had so many sensational re-
ports from Richmond about the disposition
of the leaders there to abandon the hope
less cause Of the rebellion, that any such ru-
mors have come to be regarded with dis
credit. The one which yesterdays New
York Tribune gave currency to, viz, that
General Lee had notified Jefferson
Davis that it would be impossible, with
his weakened forces, to resist the force now
moving from every quarter upon the capi-
tai of the confederacy, should be made an
exception. General Lee has served the
bad csuse of the confeierscy with energy
and ability. He has done for it sl that
mortal man could do. Recent events have
demonstrated his inability to cope with the
weakest of the three armies converging to
his destruction. In this emergency he can
save his honor and reputation only by
making the declaration sscribed to him
thus predicting the inevitable, If he has
done so, the fall of the Confederacy is nc
no longer doubtful. If General Lee, tc
whom every rebel looks as to the only man
who can savo their infamous cause, &C.
knowledges his inability to prevent the
coming ruin, that ruin may be regarded as
already accomplished.

There is a movement on foot TO organize
Petroleum Exchange or Stock Board, in
Cincinnati. We hope to see an organiza-
tion, IN proper hands, for the business is
assuming such proportions that it will soon

There is a great activity on Fishing

where parties are boring for oil and pre-
pairing for operations Oil has been struck
on Middle Island Creek, at Hassam's Mills,
in Tyler county, West Virginia, five miles
from the Ohio River, and nearly all the
lands in the county are bought or leased.
An old salt we'll near Clsrksburg, Harrison

Crude oil is the most inAammable, and
even at temperature of fifty degrees viii
ignite easily and rapidly.
The refined oil, if pure, will not, as q
general thing, ignite at s lower tempera-
ture than one hundred degrees. A lighted
match may with perfect safety be thrown
into tub full of pure refined oil, provided
the temperature is less than ninety-fve de-
grees. instruments termed pyrometers
have been constructed for the purpose OF
testing the infammability of the oil, but
those who know the secrets of the trade
say that by little skilful manipulation
the oil can be made to appear safe when it
is not actually so.
The great danger to be apprehended is
from the refneries, and from sdultersted
OIL The refneries are, with one exception,
without the city limits. The SdulterAted
oil is exceedingly infsmmable, and its use
should be prohibited. The purchaser may
generally avoid its useby dealing only with
respectable merchants.

Gold from Europe.

Yesterday morning telegraph announced
the receipt of gold from Europe by the
steamship Africa. This rather novel fact
shows that the balance of trade, which has
for the pssttwO years been heavily against
US is now, st least temporarily, in our IA
vor. Our shipments of produce, securities,
coin, &c, hsveof late been running ahead
of our imports, andthe difference must, of
course, be settled in coin. This state of
things will be as gratifying to all loyal
men as it will be startling to the fsithless
traders of England, whose sympathies
have ever been strongly on the side of re-
bellion.

Exemptions to members of pran AS

aUEA1NAODss
We find that we stated the facts in re-.
gard to the exemption of members of draft
associations little too broadly few days
since. The section of the new enrolment
law regulating the matter, reads as fol-
lows:
SECTION %. And be it further enacted
That any person or persons enrolled in any
sub-district may, sfter notice of draft,
aud before the same shall have taken
place, cause to be mustered into the SER
vice of the United States, such number of
recruits not subject to draft, as they may
deem expedient, which recruits shall staud
TO the credit of the persons thus causing
them to mustered in, and shall be taken as
substitutes for such persons, or so many of
them as msy be drafted, TO the extent of
the number of such recruits, and in the
order designated by the principals at the
time such recruits are thus as aforesaid
mustered in.
The effects of the new section can best
be understood by giving an example. sup
pose the quota of 8 sub-district to be sixty
men, and the number enrolled three,
making the ratio due as one to five
One hundred men form themselves into
protective association, and furnish twen-
ty recruits, the proper proportion, before
the draft. Now if, when the draft comes,
twenty members are drafted, they will all
be exempted by the fact thst the sssocis-
ton has furnished twenty recruits. Should
more than twenty be drafted, however,
only the FIST twenty drawn will be ex-
emps, and the remainder will be held, and
can only be exempted in the same manner
as other drafted men, not members of pro-
tectiye associations. In this shape the
law is more equitable than at first an
nounced, and offers every encouragement
for the formation of such associations, and
the enlisting of recruits by them.

The rumors of malfesssncs in the Inte-
rior Department are entirely without foun.
dstion. They were gotten up by sore.
heads, who were fearful that Secretary
Usher might be allowed to dispose of the
contracts and offices to be given out by the
Interior Department. When they learn
that Secretary Usher refuses TO do any
thing of the sort, and refers all patronage
to his successor, Mr. Harlan, they will cease
their attempts to defsme an upright man.

THE WATER WORKS

The Water Works were partially sub
merged last night, and the indications are
that it will be impossible to work the en-
gines to-day. If that should happen, there
will be q great scarcity of water, for the
supply in the basin will be very soon ex-
hausted. The authorities should see to the
matter, and if there is a possibility of the
supply being cut of, let tie people know
il in time.

The Situation I'm North CarOIins,
An important dispatch from Msjor Cen
eral Howard, dated at Fayetteville, on the
10th, aanounces the occupation of that city,
on that day, by Shermsn's army. Hardee
who seems to content himself with keeping
days march ahead of Sherman, evacust-
ed the town as our TT pops approached,
burning bridge scross the river. He is
reported 70 have twenty thousand men.
The army is in splendid spirits and cOndi-
tion, but in want of shoes and clothing.
These will be sent them Uia Fayetteville,
which Is now Sherman's base of supplies.
Rebel North Carolina papers, from which
yesterday mornings telegraph gives Us ex-
tracts, let the reader into soma very impor-
tant Confederate secrets. They admit the
occupation of Kinston and Fayetteville, and
the probable if not the actual evacuation of
GoldsborO-snd one paper goes so far as to
predict that Raleigh, Greensboro and Char
lotte, also, viii soon be in Yankee" hands.
Another paper dolefully rehesrses the
history of Confederate newspapers, and
gives list of the few that still survive the
chances of war. North Carolina news
papers, like the North Carolina people, are
evidently not over-enthusiastic in the rebel
cause, nor over-ssngnine about its success.
