Gen Sherman was serenaded at midnight by
battery A, of the Chicago light artillery, accom-
panied by the great western light guard band,
at the fremont house. As the night was stormy
the members Of the battery were Invited to
meet the guard in No. l parlor, after the band
had played selections of popular music.
Gen. Sherman rose and said it afforded him
much pleasure to meet the members of battery
A, for he was well aware Of the services they
had rendered to the country. He was really glad
to meet them, and he did not think he could oc-
cupy their time better tonight than BY telling
them Of the many secrets and thoughts which
had occupied their minds, when they occupied
their camps. The great question with them, as
doubtless it was with thousands of others, was,
sswhv was this war we have Just concluded, and
what was the occasion of it?" He said he
thought he could tell them But in order that
they might understand him, he would require
to refer to the time, previous to thesfevolution.
He then alluded to the introduction of slavery
into the colonies owing to the high price O
| labor and the scarcity of laborers. He a.dver
ted to the fact that, while Georgia WIS fret
colony, slaves were held in New y Tork and Mas
sachusetts. After alluding to tie dividing lin,
between the north and the sCuth, he spoke 0
the trouble in Kansas and California, which h
considered not as struggle to make them slav
States, but to secure the senatorial votes o
other States and the power accompanying thes
votes.
He attributed tie war to the workings Of tn
politicians of the south, with whom 1t wa
simply question of dollars and cents.

The Order Relative to Credits
Changed. ~ iA'


The following very important order-
was received by Acting Assistant Pro.
yost Marshal General Hill of this State:
WASHINGTON, March 81, 1865.
Let the credits be allowed on the pres-
ant 'cal which the shb-districts ara ell
titled to former furnished between De-
cember 10th and January lst, without
requiring the Provost Marshal to re-
assign the quota. a.n siit i"''9i
l The effect iof this order will not be to
allow credits which have heretofore
withheld, thus largely reducing thequo.
tas to be raised in many towns and
wards, freeing others altogether, With.
what they have since done; ;qnd putting
a few towns, ahead Of all calls yet made
upon them. 1t will be good news to
the whole State, and inspire those local:
tiles that, have despaired Of filling up
their quotas to take hold with new en-.
ergy and with a reasonable prospect OF
success. .rnW ia VI
Provost Marshal Flanagan, Of this
District, also announces that, under
orders from Col. Hill, he viii postpone
the time for the examination Of drafted
men of this city Cor one week from yes
terday, March 2sthr This is done for
the purpose of giving the wards in the
city an opportunity to fill their quotas
by voluutee ing An earnest effort
shoald now boz. made to improve the
time thus.granteq, and secure the clear

must be put down in the second sand
rock, 40 as efiectually 10 exclude all wa
ter fi'om the oil strata. The work oftu-
bing being completed, sucker rods are
inserted in the tubing and sunk to with
in few inches Of the bottom, a bucket
being attached to the lower-rod similar
to that in an ordinary pump. These
rods are of wood an inch in diameter,
20 feet in length, the ends encased in
iron sockets and fastened together by a
screw. The tubing then is carefully Sc
cured in its place, the machinery for
pumping adjusted and attached to the
walking-beam, a goose neck and pipe
arranged leading from the tubing to
tanks constructed to receive the oil, and
the well is ready for work. ~
ifta yEa WATER VS.. OIL. rn3
1T becomes NECESSARY in the first
plade to free the well of water, that up
to the completion of the tubing had
been running into it, and until this is
done the character of the well cannot
be determined. For this purpose the
pump is at once set to work, and little
else than water is yielded for couple
of days and in some cases week; at
length however, the water being so ex-
hausted, tbe oil returns, and is pumped
into the tanks in greater or less quanti-
ties, according to the productiveness Of
the veins through which the boring has
passed. Some wells produce not more
than five barrels per day, others 10, 20,
30, so, 100 and 500 barrels. .r
y The oil, as it comes from the well,
whether pumping or flowing, is often
mixed with large quantities of water,
and the two runtogether into immense
tanks of the capacity offrom 100 to 500
barrels, where the oil rising to the sur
face, the water is drawn from the bot
tom of the tanks by means ola spiggot.
The oil is also sold directly from the
tanks, the purchasers in all cases provi-
ding the barrels, and incurring the cost
offilIings Ordinarily there is but linn
tied stock Of oil at the wells, it being
brou .ht up and forwarded to market as
fast as produced but during the win
ter, owing to bad roads and no proper
facilities for transportation, quite alarge
stock has accumulated that must await
the resumption of river navigation.

The Patience of Abraham Lincolr

old Abe's dealings with the multitude
nous claims Of so-called loyal men.
from Georgia, that are every day press
ed upon his attention. We quote:
We do not mean that the Presi-
dents patience never yields. In one
instance we entered his office and
found him in close and loud conversa-
ton with gentleman from a certain
portion of reclaimed Southern terrific
ry. The visitor professed to be a
Southern loyalist, and wanted certain
papers signed by the President, max
ing good great damage inflicted upon
him by the war.
The claimant urged his claims in
soft, timid tones, and the President
answered in way quite the reverse.
He was not pleased. '"Why, this
paper does not say you are entitled to
the money" "No, sir, but it recon-
mends my claim to your considera-
tion.' "But, sir, you do not prove
your claim" "We are loyal, Sir"

stand up in front Of Richmond to be
shot, but they don't come here to
plague me-" 1--WE don't wish to wor-
ry you, Mr.. President" "No, l know
what you want-you are turning, or
trying to turn me, into a justice of the
peace, to put your claims through,
There are hundred thousand men in
the country, every one of them as
good as you are, who have just such
bills as you present; and you care no.
thing what becomes of them so you
get your money" awe think our
claim just, Mr.. President" "Yes, but
you know you can't prove what is in
this paper by all the people in the
United Estates, and you want me to
prove it for you by writing my name
ON the back of it, yes, in plain words
you wish lPe to lie for you that you
may get your money. i shall not do
it." The visitor stands moment as
if dizzy and undecided; and gathering
up, slowly retires to digest his repulse
as best he may, ,H'f No.

Gen. SuERM,N The following good
story, related by "most reliable gen.
tlenan," may be new to some of our
readers. = gc ..... -'tf5
When Gen. Sherman was in COM
mand at Benton Barracks, st. Louis,
he was in the habit Of visiting every
part of that Institution, and making
himself familiar with everything that
was gong on, He wore an old brown
coat and q '1stove-pipe hat" and was
not generally recognized by the minor
officials or the soldiers. One day
while walking through the grounds,
he met with soldier who was beating
a mule most numerically.
"Stop pounding that mule,' said the
General. .,...s.,, y, -. ...,.. =
"Git eout!'' said the soldier in bliss
fal ignorance Of the ,lP lPerson, 50 ITO to ", whom
"Itell you to stop" reiterated the
General. ~. .,s.g .ui
"You mind your business and 1 will
mind mine,", replied the soldier, CON
tfnuing his flank movements upon the
mule. '..,. .,sN ~ pq
81 tell You ag.,iia to stop" said Gen
Sherman. ..Do you know who ! am!
am Gen. Sherman"
That's played out!" said the soldier.

Sherman considered himself outhank.
