WASHINGTON, February s, 1865. {
HIS Ercellency Governor Smith:
Complaint is made tome, by Vermont, tina
the assignment of her quata for the Draft or
the impending call is intrinsically unjust
and also III bad faith to the Government.
promise to fairly allow credits for men pre-.
viously furnished. Toillustrate, a supposed
case is stated, as follows:
Vermont and New Hampshire must, be.
tween them, furnish 5000 men. on the pend.
ing call, and, being equals, each must furn.
lsh as many men as the other in the long run.
But the Government finds that, on former
calls, Vermont furnished a surplus of 500
and New Hampshire surplus of 1,5U0-
these two surplusses, making 1000, are ad-
ded to the 5000, making 5000 to be furn-
ished 10y the two States, or 1000 each, less by
fair credits. Then subtract Vermont's surplus
of 500 from her 1000, leaves $500 as her
quota on the pending call; and likewise
subtract New Hampshire's surplus of 1,5O0
from her 1000, leaves $500 as her quota on
the pending call. These $500 and $500
make precisely the 6,00O which the supposed
case requires from the two States; and it is
just, equal, for Vermont to furnish 900 more
noW than New Hampshire, because New
Hampshire has heretofore furnished 1000
more than Vermont, which equalizes the bur.
thens OF the two in the long run. And this
result, so far from being bad faith to Vermont,
is indispensable to keeping good faith with
New Hampshire. By no other result can
the 600O men be obtained from the two States,
and, at the same time, deal justly and keep
faith with both; and we do but confuse our
selves in questioning the process by which
the right result was reached.
The supposed case is perfect as an illus
tration. The pending call is not for 300,-
600 men subject to fair credits, but is for
100000 remaining after all fair credits have
been deducted ; and it is impossible to con-
cede what Vermont asks without coming out
short of the 100000 men, or making other To-
calitcs pay for the partiality shown her.
Yours truly,
(Signed) A. LINCOLN.

/ This Company owns in fee simple seven
| ty-seven and three-tenths acres on the East
side of the Allegheny River, in Rockland
township, Venango County, Pennsylvania
Ii is. situated five miles below the town Of
Franklin, opposite the mouth of the West
Sandy Creek, and has frontage of ITO rods
on the river. 1t is but short distance be-
low the celebrated Hoover we'll which is
yielding 200 barrels of oil daily. Other
yielding wells surround it in every direction,
and within the past few weeks two new
wells have been struck in the immediate
neighborhood, one of which is producing dali
ly 80 barrels of heavy lubricating oil worth
at the well $50 per barrel.
A fine vien of Bituminous coal, easily ac-
cessible, is on part of the land, and in view
of the enormously high price of coal in that
region, is an important consideration, and
will enable the company not only to supply
its own wants in that respect, but to derive
an income from its sale to others
The adjoining properties are in the hands
of good and prosperous companies, all in sue
cessful operation, and it is believed that no
oil company has started out with better
prospects for paying large and regular month
y
This Company intend developing their land
without the least delay. and for this purpose
have arranged for the necessary engines,
tools, tubing, &C., all of which will be put
upon the ground and in operation as soon as
the season will permit.
In addition to their own wells, the Com
pany also propose TO lease to responsible par
ties portions of ftheir land divided into lots of
10 square rods each, at rent of one half
the oil, the Company to be at no erpense
,OhateUer. They will have at least fifty
such lots to lease, all of which can be leased
at once if deemed expedient, with covenants
binding lessees to sink wells with all possi-
BILE despatch to the depth of five hundred or
more feet. Estimating, only one well to
each lot, fifty wells, at the very moderate
average of ten barrels each, would make a
daily product of 500 barrels. OF this the
Company's share would be $50 barrels.
Value of daily yield to the Company at
$50 per Barrel, $500.
Allowing $50 working days to the year, the
Company's annual net receipts from leases
alone would be $1,S75, 900.
The Company also intend sinking on their
own account, at least five wells. Should
they be successful with only one, it would
produce, estimating as above, a yearly in
come of 8 $4,000
From which deduct for expenses

Treatment of the Sting of Bees.

The organ with which bees lnfict their
sting consists Of two barbed or rather ser
rated darts issuing from a sheath and
placed back 20 back, 50 As to leave a groove
between them. The sheath is incased in
nine cartilaginOus scales, provided with
muscles, eight OF which perform the duty
OF pushing the weapon out, while the ninth
draws il back. To increase the pain caused
by the mechanical action OF the dart, poi
son is secreted from two bladders, situated
on both sides of the intestines, and it is
this poison which causes the formation OF
a small pimple of IA erysipelatous redness.
This generally disappears in u few instants,
but sometimes, when several stings have
been inflicted at time. or when even a
single one has injured nervous fllament,
the Inflammation Is rather severe In such
cases, DR.. LatOur proposes the following
treatment:
?. To pull out the sting, which generally
remains in the wound;
,. To fOment the place with iced water,
or else extract of saturn or ammOnia;
,. To apply an impenetrahlc coating Of
cOiOdion, rendered elastic by the addition
of One-tenth part Of castor oil, whereby
the production of heat i'm the living tissue
IS prevented snd Inflammation avoided.
