AN ABLE SPEECH.

One of the ablest, ifnot the ablest speech
ever published in the Sentinel, appears in
cur oolmnns to-day. 1t is one delivered by
that pure patriotand high minded statesman
Hon. George H. Pendleton, Of Ohio, late
Democratic candidate for Vice President Of
tia United States. Although the measure
which Mr.. Pendleton so earnestly and ably
oppcsed-the abolishment of slavery thro :
out the United Ssates-hxs, since the deiv-
cry Of the speech, been passed in Congress
BY the two-thirds vote, through the treache
ry, coiinivanco ami influence Of renegade
Democrats, yet the arguments Mr.. 2. ad-
vaucsi will be remembered and admired by
all lovers Of constitutional liberty long after
those who voted for the measure will be for
gotten, unhonorcd sn1 unheard Of As it is
not often that we have the pleasure of fur
nistsng our readers with such an Intellectual
treat aa the reading sf this able speech, tis
rot necessary, therefore, for US to recon-
mend to all of our readers to give it acareful
reading, as they will all, without exception, if
itisin their power, never lay the paper down
until they have finished the reading Of this,
the ablest speech delivered in Washington
City during the present session Of Congress,
by either abohtionist or Democrat. We will
add that No member Of that body has yet
attempted to answer its able arguments, for
the simple reason that they are uasnswera-
ble. After you have done reading the speech,
hand the paper to your abolition neighboT TO
10 likewise.

General Mcclellan.

General Mcclellan sailed from Europe on
tuesday, in the steamship China, with his
WE and child The general himself leaves
the c,,untry at this time says the World with
some reluctance; but the health of Mrs
Mcclellan is such that her medical advisers
connsela a lricf residence abroad as necessa-
rv to its res. s.nration. They will remain in
England but few days, in France hardly
longer. and will procede at once to Rome,
remaining there several weeks, and thence
to Dresden, or perhaps the south Of France
for the summer months, returning probably
in the fall or early winter.
There will be no American abroad, not
even in diplomatic circles, better able than
General Mcclellan to represent our cause
Alright, since he will speak not only Tor that
one half of the loyal North who cast their
votes for his election to the chief nagistra--
CIV. but for all those who love the Un.on and
are determined that it shall be restored -
And Americans can have no better repre-
sentative abroad than one who has done 80
much to assert the nations power and TO

eicn country, is incapable Of remembering
ANYTHING Of that which has been unworthy

OIL In BraNton County.

a company of New York capitallts, known
as the Little Kanawha and Elk River Pc
troleum and Mining Company, has pur-.
chased sirty-t,co thousand, eight hundred
and sirty acres Of land in Braxton county,
W. Va, for the purpose of boring for oil
developing the mineral wealth of that re-
gion. Their scheme for contributing on SO
large a scale to the rapidly growing prosper
ity of our State, deserves the commenda-
ton and encouragement of our citizens.- =
Whatever tends to develop the resources oi
one section of the State, tends to the advan-
tage of all, and the prosperity Of one coun-
ty is reflected upon the other.
The property Of the company referred tC
lies on the head waters and tributaries Of the
Little Kanawha river and on the Northwest
side of Elk river. The land has recently
been surveyed and explored by competent
ceologists and found to be rich in coal, iror
ore, salt, and other valuable minerals. The
/ indications Of oil are numerous and reliable
| and a number Of burning springs arr
found upon the tract. 1t lies along tn,
proposed route Of the Central West Virgi
MIA railroad and in the very heart of wha
will inevitably become the richest portion o.
the State AS soon as peace is restored. 1t L
probable also, from its central position tha

located somewhere in the region, when tn
war is over.
The company invite subscriptions, il
shares of one hundred dollars each, to tn
anout of seven hundred and fifty thnusan
dollars, as capitol stock, and also propose +
lease, to parties who will operate for oil, al
ternate lots upon their property. In add
ton to the interest which every citize
should and the duty which every citizen owe
in developing the resources Of the State,
seems to us that the plan proposed by tn
Sittle Kanawha and Elk river Company a
fords to our capitalists and to persons OF lin
tied means good chance for profitable ii
vestment. We would call the attention @
all this class Of persons to the adyertl;sl
ment of the company which appears IN tn
mornings paper. The Ohio 'Stdtc$ma
says of ii: y
This company have secured the owner
ship of 62, 500 acres of land in the very Ger
ter of the oil region of West Virginia.
is rich in oil springs, and springs also
bound. The company intend not only
employ large capital at the start, IN IN
proving and developing the immense wealt
Of their great estate; but they will sui
lease each alternate 10 or 20 acre lot to otl
er companies, who will thus unite their JON
capital and energies in the development (
the vast resources of the estate.
Capitalists and shrewd business nc
are taking stock in this promising enterpris
Now is the time to take shares, as subscril
tions are rapidly made, and will soon close.

GIN. SIsGIEToN has no hopes Of peace
except through humiliating concession from
one side or the other. An extra edition Of
the Washington Star says the President
left the capital to join Secretary Seward,
who, it is announced in the Times special.
carries no ultimatum with him. Another
telegram says the rebel commissioners were
on steamer at Fortress Monroe, ON We'd
nesday, apparently awaiting the arrival Of
some one from Washington.
THE peace question is assuming proper
tons of importance, SO far as consultation
is concerned, but the general tone Of the
| dispatches does not give assurance that tn,
meeting will lie productive of peace. lligl
authority warrants the belief that the resul
will be mutual understanding of the posi-
ton Of the Northern and Southern official
from which those who have been raised t
a towering pitch of enthusiasm by the agi
tation of the peace question may be able +
extract some satisfaction, as reward FL
the disturbance Of their equilibrium.

The Amendment of state Con.
Rlitufions.

The House Of Congress, by tNo-third $
vote. passed Jan. 81, the resolution to 8
mend ostensibly the Constitution Of the u
nited States, but really to amend the Con-
stitution of several of the States. A few
Democrats voted for the resolution, while
many more absented themselves. The
friends OF the Administration we're very anx-
ious to secure Democratic votes for the re-
solutions, and they succeeded to a small ex-
tent. The resolution was based on the idea
that slavery was the cause of the war: and
that to insure peace forever after the pres
ent war shall De closed slavery must be en-
tirely destroyed. The Democrats who vot-
ed for the resolution endorsed that view of
the subject, which must have been very
gratifying to the Republicans. We do not
wonder that the Republicans in the CALLER
les applauded every Democrat as they vot-
ed for the resolution.
THE Legislatures Of three-fourthS Of the
States must agree to this resolution before
it becomes part of the Constitution. The
Legislatures of every Northern State but
ene-New Jersey-is Republican. We pre-
sume it will be adopted by every Republi-
can Legislature. Eng.

SPEAKING of the Rich Minerals discover
ed in Meigs county. an account of which
may be found on the first page, the Spirit
of Democrat" says
There is no reason why this county does
not contain these metals as abundantly as
Meigs. The matter is certainly deserving
of investigation. There have been for years
well attested reports oflead ore having been
found in this county, and we doubt not
there are citizens who can point out the To-
calities in which it has been discovered"
This reminds us of conversation We heard
some thirty years ago between some old gen
tlemen. This place-where the town of
st. Clairsville is now located-was point
the Indians, when this country was viii.
lead-their chiefarticlo of trade-thcy would
leave in southerly direction and return in
three days with supply. This corrobor-
ates the statement of the spirit. We
have not the least doubt the boring for oi
will develop the bowels of the earth to ar
extent that would never have been known
had it not been for the discovery of oil.
We learn that the lands on Captina have
been principally leased, and active opera
tons in the way of boring, will be commen
ced in the Spring. They are at work on thu
Armstrong well, where oil has been obtain
ed of the purest character, but not as ye
in paying quantities.

MIR. PemGIetOn a Patriot.

Tn the late Presidential canvass, the Ad-
ministration journals and stumpers persist
emily labored to create the impression that
Mr.. Pendleton was not q patriot. Among
other things, they said that Mr. Mcclellan
was patriot-that he really desired the
preservation of the Union-that his nomi
nation was forced by the War element in
the Democratic party, and that Mr.. Pendle-
ton S nomination was concession to the
Peace element in the party, and that if they
should be elected the Peace element, thro
Mr. Pendleton, would control the Admins
tration, even to the recognition of the South
ern Confederacy. N was insisted that the
recognition OF the Southern Contederacy
was the cherished object of the Peace ele-
ment, and that Mr.. Pendleton was especially
anxious to bring about this recognition. In
their lexicon this came under the definition
of rank disloyalty-as the very opposite of
patriotism. Imagine our surprise, then, on
reading in an editorial in The Ohio State
Journal of Wednesday, the declaration that
Mr. Pendleton is patriot. This is its Ian
guage:
I've cannot resist the conr1etton that ht
GMr. Pendleton, is at heart a patriot ana
good citizen.
The Ohio State Journal is the Centra
Administration organ Of the great State Of
Ohio The declaration was no. wrenchcd
from it, 1t madeit voluntarily. We, there
fore, commend this testimony establishing
Mr.. Pendleton patriotism to that class @
men who suffered themselves to be made
dupes of during the late election by Aa
ministration editors and stumpers, to suef
an extent as to believe them when they un
dertook to discredit Mr.. Pendleton's pat
riotism. We would have, them remember
this in the future, when the same class o1
unscrupulous politicians shall undertake to
make it appear, by either .sophistry o.
downright lying, that a candidate Of th'
Democratic party, for any office, is no pa
triot. The defamation of leading Demo
cratic candidates is INDUCED in for the SOL
purI one Of affecting elections. = Statesmen
