InicIligence by Deserters.

The value of the intelligence generally
received as to the rebel movements from
deserters, can be estimated by the fact that
on the last day in February company OF
rebel cavalry were being feted at Newbern,
NC, who alleged they had deserted from
the rebel army. They asserted, that if it
were known throughout the South that
reception awaited the rebel soldiers in our
lines the entire army of the Confederacy
would desert. They furthermore said that
Kinston was being evacuated, and that South
Carolina troops are the first to give up and
acknowledge that the South is whipped
And yet eight days afterward, body OF
our troops was repulsed within fouI miles
of Kinston! 1t seems our people ace to be
imposed on by the sayings of deserters, in
stead of "the intelligent contraband" and
the ''loyal gentleman," who hitherto so ex-
tensively played upon our credulity.

MOI ruIIy Answered Again.

The President in his Inaugural told the
people that the North and the South read
the same bible and pray to the same Lord,
and that hitherto the prayers of neither side
h ID been fully answered. On the 4th inst,
there was a sort of universal prayer meet
ing throughout the adhering States, to
propitiate the Lord, and four days after
ward, within four miles of Kinston, N. c.,
body of our troops met with reverse.
This circumstance would seem to justify
the conclusion that those prayers have noe
been fully answered. What was the matter
with them? Was there more of ostentation
than sincerity in them?

Petroleum in stark County.

A friend of ours has prepared and sent us
the following communication, respecting
the oil indications in the neighborhood o.
Massillon, and the consequent excitement
in all the region roundabout: @
MAssILLoN, March 10, 1865.
EDITORS ONO STATESMAN:
The following paragraph is clipped from
this weeks MdSSiL9n INDEPENDENT:
"The oil fever don't seem quite so violent
as when it first broke out few days ago,
yet evidently things is workin.' The for
tunate possessor of the piece of ground on
which it is claimed the oil is dis
covered, is Mr.. E. Wismar, of this
place. 1t is located on the fremont
road, little west of town. Considerable
numbers have been attracted thither, many
taking vials or bottles with them, who
return with an article which will burn, as
oil does, in a lamp. That is an indication
which looks favorable, and will lead to fur
ther examination. Although the excite
ment is not so noisy as at first, yet it seems
growing deeper and broader. One OF our
citizens who was in Pittsburg few days
ago, was eagerly lyinquired of for information
on the subject. So the light which this dis
covery has thrown out is not likely to
be hidden under half bushel, but will
radiate still more and more. Further time
and developments may lead to fuller and
more satisfactory results, for there is no
probability that the efforts or discoveries
will stop here. Oil is becoming too big a
thing to be suppressed-it has wide repu-
tatiOn, which is still growing"
l have just returned from the recently
discovered oil spring, one mile west of this
place. 1t is certainly a great curiosity.
The water and oil flow out in continuous
stream, on top of a considerable elevation
where water never showed itself before.
There is no doubt about there being great
show for big oil well. 1t first manifested
itself on the 26th of February. There was
at first perfect flood of water, oil, and
gas, and it continued thus for several days
then subsidized to a small stream, and in
this way it, now flows. Oil spectators are
numerous hereabout, and there is immense
excitement. People are rushing here
from all parts of the country. will

Mr.. T. NJ. Adams, 3ps Twelfth street. Now York
suffered with Rheumatism for long period. He
attended by able physicians, but their prescrI
tions were of no avail he was unable to move with
out assistance, and for four months was almost en-
tirely confined to his bed. At this period Of hi
sickness, when hope had fed, and he expected to
cripple for the remainder of his life, he was REQ
commended to use
BRANDRETH'S PILLS.
The first box evidently made him better; tho i'm
provement was more decided from the second box
and by the time he had used eighteen boxes he was
entirely cured of Rheumatism, and the strength
and suppleness of his limbs were restored. II is

The New York Tribune thus commences an
article under the above caption:
A rather slow evangelist once preached
to a slim Western audience sermon which,
If it had not dealt with the most moment
GUS possible theme, might have been pro-
nounced dull. AT the close he sent around
his hat, hoping to secure thereby some ali
ment for his carnal nature in requittal fol

but was disappointed by its return to him

WE rejoice that the House, by a decided
vote, has ordered a division of the duties

The Bellefontaine Republican, an Admins

should pass a joint resolution asking
ANDREW JOHNSON to resign his position as
Vice President. That is subject too grave
for the consideration of the majority-mem-

SUDDEN DEATH.-Miss Ellen G. Leohner,
a passenger on the coach from Columbus,
last Saturday morning, died few mo-
ments after her arrival at the Pickaway
House, in this city. She had been in i'll
health for years, but had been growing
worse since last Christmas. She left her
home in Greensburg, Stark county, Ohio,
on the morning of the I'd inst, contrary to
the wishes of her friends, to make visit in
Amanda, Fairfield county, in company with
MIR. Miesse and Miss Kate Reigel, Of Aman-
da. who had been attending school at
Greensburg. On the way from Columbus
she complained Of being very weak and OF
difficult breathing. When the coach ar
rived at the Pickaway House, Mr.. Miesse as
sisted her into the parlor where she died sit
ting in chair. Her disease was consump-
tion. She was a daughter of Rev. A. Loeb

25 years. Coroner w. M. Sturgeon held an

Drunken Men in Public Life.

It is time to speak. The scandal of this
country is drunken men in public life. The
disgrace makes our cheeks tingle, makes us
blush, makes us hang our head and sicken
at heart. A drunken man on the street is
a humiiating spectacle. The eye of the
least sensitive self-respect turns away in
disgust from it. But drunken man in
public life is public humilia!ion-a humil-
iation that involves nation. 1t travels to
the end of the wires. Every eye every
where is a witness of the shame. We are
pilloried by it for the scornful gaze of all
the good of all the world.-Chicdgo Journal
The Chicago Journal is an Administration
journal. 1t is not probable that the Ad-
ministration press would have become so
exercised over the drunkenness OF men in

son made such an unseemly exhibition of
himself on the occasion Of his inaugura-
tion. Never before the last Presidential
election did Clergymen take a specially ac-
tive part in behalf of Presidential and Vice
Presidential candidates, and beautiful
fist they have made of it in the election of
a Vice President. The whole country feels
humiliated over it. 1t were well they did
something to atone for this, and confessed
that in the matter of politics they are no
better guides than are the worldly minded
