From Rev. j. Newton Brown. D. D., editor of
the Encyclopedias of Religious knowledge,
and Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia.
Although not disposed to favoror recommend
Patent Medicines in general, through distrust
OF their ingredients and effects, yet know of
no sufficient reason why man may not testify
to the benefits he believes himself to have re-
ceived from any simple preparation. in the hope
that he may thus contribute to the benefit OF
others.

Shoemaker, Esq, for the removal OF this prcju-

try them when suffering from great and long

THE HOLMES COUNTY On AND MINERAL
CoMpANY.-This Company is completing
its organization, and bids fair to accomplish
something in the way of developing the re-
sources of the county in the oil line. The
regulations and laws will commend the Com
pany to the public, as they will prohibit the
credit system, and require the business to
be done on a cash basis. Their financial
matters will be conducted with all the safe
guards known in public business, and from
the known active character of some of the
leading men, such as HERZER, CHERRY
HOLMES, RAIIFF, Conn and others. the as
sociation means work, and determination
to thoroughly test some portions of the
region in this county where there are oil
indications. The company will start ont
with about 1000 acres Of land, which has
been leased, and will be able to raise enough
capital for all practical purposes. The laws
require considerable formality to be gone
through with before the books are open for
subscriptions and the issuing of stock takes
place, but the persons engaged are busy in
perfecting the organization. We are in
formed that no efforts will be spared to
thoroughly test the oil capacity of the favor
able regions, and that members of the COM
pany entertain the best hopes of success
Persons from the oil region in Pennsylvania
have taken leases, and report the signs as
favorable as they were in that State. A
more full exhibit Of the organization of the
company, its plans, by laws and character
will be given when it gets ready for opera
tions,
This company propose to dig, and bore
for oil, and all leases that arc taken will be
practically used to the benefit of people in
t he county and persons who may have
lands to lease would do well not to part with
them to spectators who have no idea OF
working them, but, simply of selling them
and dickering about so as to in no manner
benefit the owner ofthe land The company
will do more to increase the price of land
and benefit the county than the whole brood
of those who start up at the heels of public
enterprise,

TIE DRAFT The Widow Maker i drag
net was not cast on the 18th inst. as
promised. We arc unable to say how long
the respite will last, but we feel confident it
will not be any considerable length Of time.
A majority of the townships of this county
are clear-we wish all were thus signally
blessed. The present is, probably, the last
draft in which any serious attempt will he
made to raise men by heavy bountics. The
supply of men willing to fight for love or
money is about exhausted, and nothing will
tempt those who remain to go except inor-
dinately high sums, which only the very rich
can afford to offer. In view of the local
debts already incurred, townships and coun-
ties will be unable to raise the necessary
means, and drafts will be inevitable.

''Sincc the oil excitement has been pre-

WHY is IT?-Why are people exertng
themselves to the utmost to fill up thequotas
assigned under the pending draft The
masses have no heart in the war-they do
not believe that it can be carried on by the
party in power until liberty and Union re-
suits from tit is regarded as war for
emancipating the blacks to the cost of the
most fearful sacrifices of the blood and
treasure Of white pcople-they have lost all
hope, become slaves for the present and
trusting to luck in the future Money is
most lavishly expended to fill up the armies,
not by war men alone, but by men of all
parties--those who voted for war and those
who voted for peace and nearly every dol
lar given provokes a curse in the heart of
! the giver against ABRAHAM LINCOLN and
the war The innumcrablc millions con
tributed for bounty purposes, and the en-
treaties made to induce men to enlist, are
all given and made that the persons who
give and entreat may be secure from con
scription. At the commencement of the
war the bounties offered and the entreaties
used to secure soldiers were evidences of the
popularity of the war; but the same things
now are the evidences of its unpopularity
and the horror with which people regard
military service in this war as at present
conducted.
This state of things will continue untlthe
mass of the Republican party declare their
independence of party leaders and of men
who are growing rich upon the blood and
treasure of the toiling millions, and rising
above old party prejudices, give an honest
and unbiased expression of their opinions
through the ballot-box One half Of the
Republican party agree with the Democracy
on the war question, but political prejudice
and party leaders urge them on to the sup.
, port of men and measures which they de-
spise. When such men break loose from
t their leaders and overcome their prejudice'
the country may look for relief but not un
til then.

CALIFoRNIA.-The Administration ad-

fusing to contribute men to the war and de-
clining to take Greenbacks as money. The
Cincinnati Commercial says ''If California
will neither furnish troops nor take green
backs for money, they had better go out Of
the Union at once" This soundsvery much
like the language used toward the Southern
States few years ago by these same fanatics.
If California should take them at their word
and so out of the Union, they would insis,
upon the massacre of the people of that
State, and proclaim such work as blessed
