TRoLEuN.-Almost every paper We see
(says the Colusa SUM DOW has more or less to
say on the subject of petroleum. 1t appears
that almos, oil yet discovered in this State is
thick, tar like substance, aud we even see
some of the papers talking about tests to see il
the substance found really contained petroleum.
The oil is found almost entirely pure in the
Coast Range, west of Colusa. By digging a
hole few feet deep, it can be collected pure
enough to burn ia common lamp without any
purifying whatever. There is only very small
portion, if any, foreign matter in it-not over
five per cent. at most. We learn from reliable
authority that DO such oil has ever been dis
covered in this country.

"SocIAL AMENITIES. This subject has
been pretty thoroughly discussed by the press.
The Appeal puts it in the following light ::
Let Us bring case of social amenities" bone
Let Us suppose that Tod Robinson and General
Mcdowell meet at social board, aud, while
slipping their wine, tes tete, an extra Flag or
Alta is banded the General to read. 1t con-
tains an account OF the capture of Charleston,
aud the list Of the slain in battle. How does
the General receive the news? What says
Tod Robinson? One is elated and excited at
the glorious news assuring the iDal triumph Of
the flag. The other, mad with disappointment
and overhowing with grief at the defeat of his
friends and gloomy prospect Of bis cause. The
General proposes q toast TO the "s,ars and
stripes" But Tod, bis social ameniiy compan-
ion, cannot respond. Social amenities have
vanished The realities of war, death and
carnage intervene to disturb the false relations
existing between friends and enemies of the
Government. This simple illustration is true
picture OF every day life. A traitors "social
amenities" cannot be congenial only in traitors
company. The officers of the Federal and
Confederate armies cannot meet on social
equality SO long as the war exists. Neither
can civilians, whose hearts are enlisted in the
conea If aithor W hon tb;. harrtar IN forca3
it is either plain exhibition OF hypocrisy or
traitorism.
THE CAMPAIGN IL TESNEssER.-Letters
received in Washington from General Thomas
give brief history of bis Tennessee campaign.
They show that he desired TO accompany Gen.
Sherman TO Atlanta, and thought another
officer the proper person to conduct affairs
against Hood. General Sherman, however,
put full confidence in him, and oil the initiatory
steps of the campaign were made 10 obedience
to bis orders. General Thomas says the cam
paign would have been different if Sherman
had not felt obliged to take most of the cavalry
10 his department, and that Hoods escape with
any part of his army was mainly due to that
cause. He explains at length the reasons for
his protracted delay in bringing Hood to
general engagement. Some part thereof was
due to the suggestions Of General Sherman
and orders from General Grant, and some part
to the non arrival of General Smiths command
from ST. Louis, whose progress was delayed by
storms and bad roads. He also hoped, by
making the fight so far north, TO partly coun.
terbalance in the pursuit flor he never contem-
plated the possibility of defeatl the deficiency
Of cavalry. He says the enemy's entire loss OF
guns in the whole campaign was seventy two,
and that we have about five thousand stand of
his small arms while be lost in killed, wounded
and prisoners, nineteen general officers, about
three thousand seven hundred men killed, and
between nine and eleven thousand prisoners,
half of whom are wounded

Babylon is Fallen"

The following brief dispatch to the Associ-
ated Press, dated Chicago, February 22d-
Wasbington's birthday brings to the loyal
people the realization of hope long deferred ::
Charleston and all its defenses, with two
hundred cannon, supplies aud ammunition,
came into our possession 90 the morning Of the
18th. All the cotton was destroyed BY the
rebels
The "hotbed OF secession" has at last been
"subjugated," and the mud sills'' of the free
North are DOW treading down the grass 10 the
streets OF the commercial metropolis Of the
Conthieveracy What q humiliation to the
chvalric Caroliniahs who 10 April, 1861,
msgni6ed their glorious achievement in inaug
ura:ing the war By the bombardment aud cap
ture of Fort Sumter, whose garrison of seventy
men, under the gallant Anderson, having ex-
bansted their supplies, and being insufficient in
numbers to properly man the guns, were CON-
PEELED TO discontinue the unequal contest aud
yield the fortress TO the traitors. In the four
years Of war since then, Charleston, though
until now escaping capture, has felt its full
share of the nation wrath, and is ct last under
the "Old Flag" which its traitor cltizens tore
so rutbessly from the National fortress. As
a comparison of the situation, then aud now.
we quote from the Charleston Courier of April
l3, 1861, the following closing paragraphs Of
its account of the bombardment Of Fort Sumter:
I'VE dare not close this brief aud hurried
narrative of the first engagement between the
United States and the Confederate States,
without returning thanks to Almighty God for
the great success that has thus far crowned
our arms, and for the extraordinary preser fstion
Of our soldiers from casually and death. In
the fifteen hours of almost incessant firing, our
enemy one OF the most experienced and skillful
of artillerists, no injury has been sustained by
single one of our gallant soldiers.
1.-The result of the conflict strengthens and
confirms our faith in the justness of the cause
for whose achievement we have suffered oblo
guy, and dared perils of vast magnitude. At
the outset of the struggle, we invoked the
sanction and aid OF that God whom we serve
aud his hand has guided and defended US all
through the momentous conflict. His favor
was most signally, We had almost said miracu-
lously, manifested on this eventful day.
We call the roll of those engaged in the
battle, and each soldier is here to answer 10 his
name. No tomb stone will throw its shadow
upon that bright triumphant day. If so it
seemeth good in the eyes of Him, 10 whose
hands are the issues OF life, We fervently pray
that our brave sons may pass unharmed through
the perils Of the day now dawuing."
What commentary upon this vapglorious
ebullition is afforded by the events of the four
years struggle.

Th. FecIIng I'm the south.

Through various sources, the intelligence
comes that the people lately In Rebellion
IN the South are, with an unexpected cheer
fulness, recognizing the authority OF the
Federal Government; that so far as OUT
ward appearances can be accepted as salts
factory evidence, they will henceforth con-
duct themselves rloyally." Notwithstand-
ing this, there are Administration politic-
ians who act on the idea, and they wantthe
Administration to act on that idea, that
these appearances are simulated, and there
fore, should not be treated as being entitled
TO any consideration whatever. They insist
that these people are at heart as rebelllous
as they ever were; that they are simply de-
feated, but that they are not even contrite,
much less regenerated; and, that, 1t Is there
fore necessary to confer suffrage on the
Negroes who will continually vote them
into minority and thus prevent them from
breaking out into Rebellion again. One
thing is very certain, that II those men are
at heart Rebels while they wear the SEM
blance Of 'loyalty," the nature OF their
hearts are not likelyto undergoa a satisfac-
tory change if the Administration, or the
party that liftsd 1t into poweE shall persist
in treating them as Rebels, and hereafter
deny them all voice either in the State
Governments are the Federal Government
These men who insist that the Negroes shall
be made voters commit themselves to pol
lev that would prove irritating exceedingly
The question Is not whether they deserve
such treatment. We propose to treat and
live with those men as citizens. We want
no further strife: we want the military es
tablishment cut down to the lowest point
asauickly as possible, SO that the extraor-
binary expenditures of the Government
may be dispensed with, and ways and means
devised for the lessening Of the taxes Of the
people. To do this it VIII become necessary
to treat the protested Unionism OF the
Southern people as having sufficient SINGER
ity in it to protect them against measures
that can have no other effect than to exas-
perate them. . ... -'... naqJ la,.
The War is over, aud such has been its
nature, duration and termination, that lt
will take great deal to drive them into
War again. They have had practical il
lustration OF the fact that we can success
fully overthrow their armed resistance.
Wherefore, then, not put some faith in our
ability at all times to maintain the authori-
ty OF the Federal Government The men
who are urging that the South cannot be
fully reclaimed to the Union except by con-
ferring suffrage upon the Negro know that
they are shamming. They fear that If the
Negroes are not made electors, that the
White voters North and South, will, in time,
vote them into hopeless minority. 1t is
this consideration, and not the fear that the
Union has not been maintained or that the
Southern people will not conduct them
selves "loyally," that makes them SO per-
sistent advocates of Negro suffrage at this
time. BY grovelling partisanism and not
by noble Unionism are they animated.

There is another class of our fellow-citi-

grave question of negro suffrage in the

men who through this war have suffered

rights, for which they have suffered and
toiled? Is this victory for them worse
than defeat, because IL finds them with
