The Cooper's Creek Meeting.
J. NJ. RIFE, Secretary.

EDS. JOURNAL: Our attention has been call.
cd to an article su the Hcp"btic"", under dale
of the 10th Of S'ebruary, 1864, referring to
some resolutions adopted at II meeting held at
Coopcr's Creek, 10 consult upon DR.. Patrick .
resolutions, votes, &c, in the Legislature. II
seems the Editor overlooked the Doctors gold
bill. .....
Mr.. Newton then conc luicd his article with
n very interesting, pithy and witty anec'lo'c'
and nm sure it hah excited much laughter.
If not tears. T, bears the marks Of antique.
ty, Qsl3l, which will, no doubt, make the
joke the more interesting; and add TO this the
parties under cpnsidcration-Nnpolcon, and
the venerable old lady of Washington City:
doubtless the Emperor " felt bad" when he
was told how the old lady "dislikcd him."
Now, "onc gool joke calls for another, and
likeness bcScts likeness We beg leave to
recent date; and not being disposed 10 be
personal, or tram on any mans toes, or hurt
any mans tendcrIeelines, We will mako the
joke at our own EXPENSE, that no one else may
be offended or made to feel bad, not even
DR.. Patrick or his friends. 1t IS as follows:
There resides in Charleston, West Va, a
very pious and respectable old lady, with
whom many of IS Mudsills havo had the
honor Of forming Yamc acquaintance. She is
somewhat uristqc,'atic in principles - but
what Of that =. Somewhat iinetured with
Southern procliviSics-but what Of nll that ?
WE'LL somo busy, neddlins, wicked fellow has
reported every loyal citizen Of Coopcr's Creek
and vicinity to her; he has told her how they
hate rebels, coppeIhcads and the Southern
Confedcracy. We are not so sure that he has
not told her TINT We dislike her;-at any rute
she's offended ut US. This makes US "fecl
bad" and none but those who feel it, know
how bad VIC feel! doubtless the Emperor felt
bad, the Doctor fcb bad, but VIC feel por,e.-
10 be held up by TIC old lady, exposed to pub.
lie gaze, and to the eyes Of the thousands who
read tho Rrpubkicn,, we "fccl bad!" Some
Of us had a. thought Of becoming n candidate
for the next Senate but this blows up all our
future prospects. We still feel bad, and
because Father Newton don't like US, this
make us feel extremely bad--it aggravatcs
our misery.
But VIC have been exposed

.W. Editor:--l arrived At this camp on the
morning Of the 9Th inst, and found tho rcsi-
mcnt cncamred about one and o half miles
cast Of Cumberland, on an elevated position,
and in very good, comfortable quarters, and
the boys enjoying themselves very well. This
il rather broken and mountainous region Of
country, and the tops Of the hills and mount
aims present rather n cold and frigid aspect
being covered with heavy fleece Of snow. d.
The town Of Cumberland lies on the east
bank Of the Potomac river, in the State Of

business Of various. kinds, such rs canal boat
building, manufacturing iron, merchandise,
shocmakinS, tailoring, sc. The hotels and
boarding housos-of which there is quite n
nuluber-sccm to vie with each other who will
be the most successful in cxtortius the most
money for the least cutins, for it is perfect
imposition upon that part Of the community
who arc compelled to 10 their suting ut those
places. Think OF u man setting down to q
table and rartaking Of q little bread and but
ter, and little tough meat, and n few fried
potatoes, two inches Of sausage with q small
sprinkle Of picked beats and cucumbers.-
And what's the bill? One dollar. And this

Eds. JoraxAL: The oil fever is getting up
to q high heat here, and promises to effect q
change in owners Of land, TO considerable
extent, in the rallies Of Twelve Pole and Big
Sandy. About two months ago, some men
from New York City, and three from Mas'a-
ehuset,s, came to Catlettsburg, 1.-TWO miles
from here,) and made such explorations ond
eSRuirics, that the old interest in the subject
was awakened, and some excitement followed.
In few days it had increased to such extent
that parties in Catlettsburg organized !., com
pany, chose their officers, and sent out their
advertisements, and is now in full tide Of sue
'cessful operation. The men composing that
company know what good prospects there arc
for oil up the Big Sandy. The continuation
of the war hos prevented active operations,
which were commenced in 1861, but there is
now o prospect, that workmen Gun begin on
the wells, without fear Of interruption trem
the guerrillas, this coming Spring and sdm-
MGR. Six or eight wells were commenced four
years ago, but abandoned on account Of the
scccsh excitement. -. .r'a.
Tho signs Of oil ore found along up the
valley, commencing at n point four miles
from the mouth and up forty seven miles, on
both forks Of Sandy. Camel coal is very
abundant, and several veins have been
opened. TLirty.fyc miles from the mouth
there is a burning spring, which Inns been
known to burn eight months without cessation.
hsvc never secm il, but have no doubt Of this
statement -.
In the Twelve Pole Valley, n gseat many
leases have been taken, and some farms lately
purchased, nil within ten miles Of the Ohio
river. party representing ,Pittsburg aud
Marietta companies was here four weeks ngo.
Among them was ono experienced in search

tho discoveries he made, but did not shy
much. The gentleman with him, however,
purchased farm four miles from the mouth
Of Twelve Pole, paying 1000 all the owner
asked. lie remarked 10 4 lrlenu ol tnc WTltcT,
that if it had been twenty or thirty Thousand,
he should have taken il. The citizens opened
their eyes at first, but they now declare that
the purchase was only part Of their grand
scheme Of "humn,ins" the public. think
not. | have good reason to think they saw
the beg, signs Of oil there. These men pur-
chased another farIu eight miles up, and
leased about dozen.
There is az immense amount Of camel coal
visible in the creeks and along the bluffs by
the side Of Twelve Pole. Oil indications are
also abundant on that river for forty miles.
Many years ago man bored for salt OH o
