OIL Matters.

The land in all our West Virginia coun-
ties appears to be rapidly undergoing a
leasing process. Theoil excitement spreads
from the Ohio river to the mountains and
from the Big Sandy on the South to the
Hancock county line on the North.
The last Morgantown Post speaks as fol-
lows in regard to the prospects in that vi.
cinity:
"Itis astonishing to learn the amount
of land which has been sold and leased
along the western slope of Laurel Hill, in
Fayette county, Pa, and Mouongalia, Ma
rion, Tsylor aud Harrison in this State,
within the last six months. AT frst our
people thought it was all speculation, and
sold out. But after awhile the people be
gan to ssmell MICE 1t leaked out that
geoIogists had pointed ont the western
slope of the Alleghenies as the eastern rim
of the oil basin-0il Greek being the
northern. Aud the people concluded that
if the northern rim produces so well, why
not the easternf And then many who
sold their lands have again purchased at
prices much in advance of their former
sales. Many companies have been organized
and are now b6ripg within this county
on Dunkard, the Monongahela, Deckers'
creek, Cheat river, SCOTS run, and nume-
rous streams too tedious to mention; and
before the summer season is over hundreds
of wells will be bored, and the suspense at
An end. We prophecy, however, that the
western slope IRON Laurel Hill to the No

SHERIDAN NEAR RIoHmoND,

CONSERVATION in the Rebel Capitql-TOtal
Destruction ofthe Beavsr Mills Acqueduct
By Sheridan
Areturned Union prisoner who reached
Annapolis on Tuesday, direct from Rich
mond, communicates some, isteresting 10,
telligence in relation to the state of affairs
at Richmond and Sheridan's movements,
He says he was confined in Castle Thunder,
and through the friends of Union citizens
incarcersted there obtained much informa-
ton relative to events, about which Rich
mond papers are silent.
On Saturday nightlast Richmond was
thrown into state of intense. excitement
by the announcement that Sheridan was
near the city. The alarm bells we're rupp,
and all the home guards and every svaila.
BILE man that could be spared was buried
off to repel the Unionists, who are said to
be at Beaver Mills Acqueduct, on the
James river, come twenty miles from the
city, destroying the canal, the main feeder
of Richmond.
The excitement continued all night, and
increased to a panic throughout Sunday
and down to Monday morning. When be
IeIt Lhe dlAru sun prevailed. 1t was
understood that Sheridan bad succeeded in
the destruction of the acqueduct, blowing
it up with guupowder, and it would take
at least six months to repair the damage
done by himss a5
During Sunday afternoon Picketrs divi
sion passed Castle Thunder in great haste
on the way to meet Sheridan.
There was ferry near the aqueduct, an6
it was believed that Sheridan's purpose
was'to cross the James, and strike thC
DanviIle road near the coal fields, wher,
there is an expensive bridge, destroy that
aud thus complete the destruction of com
munication with Richmond, and then max,
q junction with Grant.
| Movements indicating preparation TO
an Abandonment of Richmond have beeI
in progress for some time. The heavy ma
chiuery for uIanufactuEihg iron has bpel
removed, also the machinery of their per
cussion cap manufactory, and all the car.
penters in town were at work film
lBrge government orders for packing box
es. The high water in the james ha
subsidized 80 much that the boat which con
veys prisoners from Richmond could no
pass above Rockett's, as she had been do
ing previously. From this circumstanc
it is hoped that Sheridan will fiud less dli
iculty in crossing the streams in his line c
Il march.

and beyond the Valley river, along said
slope, will yet rival Oil creek in oleaeinous
wealth. This opinion Is formed after con .
siderable Investigation of the subject, and
we give it for the benefit of our subscri .
6ers owning land in the locality alluded to.
The pleasant weather has brought out the
spectators and operators in droves, and
We look for brisk time in Morgantovn
this summer. Deckers' creek, which emp.
ties into the river at this place, is attracting
a great deal of attention, and explorers say
the indications are superb. Deckers' creek
will yet beat Dunkard.
