Facts in Relation TO the COnspirn-
,cy TO Seize the Peruvian steamer
Press Dispatch !


San FRANCIsCo, May 26.-The exam
ination made into the circumstances at
tending the conspiracy to seize the Pc
rnyian steamer Cotton, at this port, re-
veals these facts: A man by the name
of Williams was the general controller
of the expedition, and another by the
name of Hunter, of the Army of the 70
tomac, was the commander subsequent
to the detention of the Brontz by the
authorities. Williams and Others con-
cocted the scheme to seize the Cotton, run
her to sea, and use her as privateer
AGAINST French enemies. Some OF the
leading parties in the conspiracy were
formerly known as rebel syinpathizers
The Mexican Gen. Vega agent OF the
Juarez government, made large adj
vance of money to Williams as the leader
of the immigration scheme, until he as
oertained that the money was likely to
be misapplied, when he gave information
AGAINST Williams. Williams had given
others to understand that The seizure of
the Cotton was understood between the
Mexican and Peruvian authorities, and
that the show. of, force in making the
seizure was necessary to acquit the latter
of any blame in the matter The men
selected by Williams for the enterprlzt
were sworn to carry itthrough and the
duty of one of the party was to cnt th'

10Th, as follows: president Lincoln was
assassinated in a theatre on the night Of
the 14th inst. Secretary Stewards honse
was entered on the same night and he
was repeatedly stabbed and is probably
mortally wounded.p The. witness said
that after reading this dispatch to the
crowd. Davis said 'if il wnrn tn 10 ~ :
alter, Breckinridge and Davis conversed
in the house of the witness on the sub
;ect of the assassination. Breckinridge re
marked to Davis that he regretted 1t
very much. 1t was unfortunate for the
people of the South at that time. The
regret seemed to be caused by sympathy
for the SoHth. and not because Of the
.riminaiity of the act. Davis replied
"Well, General, don't know. If 1T were
TO be done at all, it were better it were
we'll done, and if the same were done to
Andy johnson and Stanton, the job
would then be complete.
Jacob Ritterspough testified that he
was employed in Fords theatre when
the President was assassinated. Booth,
in his escape, found the door hard to
open. When the witness returned,
Spangler struck him, saying, (" For Gods
sake, don't say which way Booth went ="
Witness was acquainted with Harold,
and said he had always been regarded
as light aud trihing boy, and easily In
fuenced.
jerry Dyer was called for the defense,

that he had not crossed the Potomac
since 1861, but did go to Richmond at
that time with the party who had been
sleeping in the pines.

West Virginia Oil Iten's.

OH. has recently been struck III paying
quantities, on Proctor i'll Wetzel coun-
ty, in this State. A large number OF
wells are going down all along the line
stretching from the celebrated Dunkard
region to the Duck Creek (Ohio) region,
and the most encouraging results are AT
tending the operations.
OIL matters are lively in Monongalia
county, West Virginia. Boring is being
vigorously prosecuted on Little Indian
Creek, and the prospects for oil are very
fattering. The Wiley Oil Company is
about to commence to bore at the mouth
of Decker's Creek, opposite Morgantown'
The Decker Creek Company IS now en-
gagged in erecting derricks near Guse-
mans Mills, five miles from Morgantown,
for the purpose of boring several wells
THE two items following are from the
Parkersburg Gazette:
Col. HOY, proprietor of new oil we'll
on Ellis Run, branch of Goose Creek,
reports to us to-day that he has fine
Weld of oil, and is abundantly satisfied
with his success. Oil men are in high
homes all over this section of West Vir-
ginia, a state of things we anticipated
would follow the work of boring
We saw on Monday the new oil we'll at
the mouth of Newel's Run, spoken of In
our last paper, and found it a bigger
thing than had been represented. The
oil flowed at first over the derrick, and IS
now pumped in large quantities. Some
two other wells near by have become
since good oil producing wells. On each
side of the river from the mouth of Duck
Creek up to the vicinity of Wheeling
wells are going down, and the success
thus far has been as good and even better
than anticipated. Mr.. Sargent, of Bos
ton, told us that he had just ordered four
new wells to be begun on Newers Kun
Oil men are sanguine and on tip toe,
The Buckhannon Republican says: We
were shown, on Sunday last, strong sur
face indications of oil. in less than
quarter of mile of the Court House. Il
is very strange that this has escaped thu
vigilance of our oil hunters for the pas
year. There is no doubt that oil abound'
in quantities on the Buckhannon nea
the Beverly bridge. 1t can be seen OF
the water from the springs that abount
along the river bank.
