The Capture of WILMINGTON a
Blessing to the Rebels.

Some of the rebel papers claim that the
capture of the port Of Wilmington by oul
troops was blessing to the Rebel cause. -
The Chicago lost views this claim in this
light:
A Richmond paper, spcculating upon the
fall of Fort Fisher, suggests that had Will
mington been closed year ago, it would
have been better for the Confedcracy. This
is true, to some extent. The blockade has
been benefit, in one sense, to the Confed-
crates. 1t has stopped, during the war, the
expenditure of their domestic capital for
foreign luxuries. IF it cut off the sale of
cotton, it also stopped the investm,n ,nt of
tue value OF that cotton in diam onl.. Jewel
ry, laces, silks and shawls 1t has stopped
the waste Of the peoples means in import
ed liquors, carpets and furniture. 1t made
eeonoma and trugality necessity, and the
practice of these virtues has enabled them
to maintain the conflict much longer than
they could otherwise have done. n.

Cannot offer half the inducements that Pc

hundreds of Companies that pay from one
to ten per cent per month dividends on the

An OIL Story.

A good story is told of an old lady in
Ritchie county, West Virginia, who owned
a lage tract of barren lanl which she could
not sell, and who took the alvic, of visi-
tor and poured some petroleum oil along the
streathswhich maandered through it. ..rhe
report spread abroad Of surface indications
on the land, and a whole brigade of oil hunt.
ers came aoeking down upon the old lady.
She sold her land at a fabulous price, the
owners agreeing to give tn, laly one-eighth
of the oil. The old lily thought sh, had
pretty good joke on the spectators, but il
turned ont that they had better joke on
her. The enterprising fellows set up their
derrick, and put down an augcr, and, in
short time, they struck well which yields
one hundred barrels of oil per day. b

On Friday and Saturday last we yisitet
Bridgeport, Bel aire and Wheeling on busi
ness. We found the people of Bcllare al
hustle in getting ready for the Spring trade
and the expected large influx OF population
on account of the building of the Railroad
bridge oyer the Ohio Rents are very high
and houses scarce. We heard of one dwell.
ing renting for six hundred dollars. Monied
men could not do better than to invest il
building houses ut this point. An Eastern
company has landed an engine and other
fixtures for the purpose of boring for oil
at that point.
Bridgeport was alive with business. Her
streets were packed with all manner Of We
hicies from morning until night, coming and
going. We have not the least doubt that
there is NO. business done at this place
thau at any othar point in the United States
with an equal NUN her Ct Inhabitants. Were
it not for the high taxation of machinery,
we would soon have continuous town from
Martinsvilie to Behaire but as it is manu-

Let the Democracy stand Firm.

The Democracy could not possibly be in a
position more favorable to future success
than that which it now occupies. So strong
in numerical force, as to forbid all thought
of abandoning its organization, and there
fore safe from the dsmoralizing influences
which party weakness is apt to generate ;
made up of men whose courage and integ-
rity have been found proof against threats
and prosecutions, as well as bribes and ban
ishmets, and therefore to be relied on in any
emergency of the future and, withal, re-
hcved Of any responsibility for the existing
state of the country, or for the measures
which may be adopted in the present aw-
ful condition of public affairs, it stands on
the high road to victory, and if it does not
achieve 1t, the fault will be its own, and the
failure objectionable. --Dcyton Empire J,

to volunteer, The officer went to work pre-

InaPortant Order nrom the Pro-
VOst Marshal GeneraI-The
Quotas Of Cities and Towns
Under the Draft.

Quotas of Cities and Towns
Under the Draft.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.
The Provost Marshal General has assign
ell and forwarded to the different districts,
their correct quotas under the call Of De
cember ~, for 800, 900 men Shortly. after
that call was made, the quotas were assign
| ed upon the enrolment as il stood on the
30th Of November, taking into account the
reports of credits and estimates of the num-
Der of years of service that were then avail
able, and these quotas were sent TO districts
in order that recruiting might commence
| without delay for computing exacts quotas
Correct quotas were based upon enrolment
as corrected up to the first inst, and en-
brace all credits for troops raised up to that
| date. --..,
A complete settlement With each district
has been lnade. and all the former deticien-
cies charged aud the surplus credited to the
district, and consequently all men put into
service since january /, whether by draft
acceptance Of substitutes, or by volunteer en-
listments, will be applied as credits in the
reduction Of the quotas now assigned
The corrected quotas vary in certain locali-
ties from the quotas assigned on the 23d of
December. The reason is the first enroll
ment in many localities has been much re-
duced since the S0th of November, while
in Others but little change has occurred.
. A full and accurate report Of men, and
years of service, furnished not only during
December, but trom different localities for
the previous months, have been received
aud taken into account in determining the
correct quotas. The most obvious instance
is in the cases of New York and Brooklyn,
the quota of the former being largely in
creased, while that of the latter is dimin-
ished Tbisis owing TO the distribution of
the years Of service on account of naval en-
listments.
The Bankrupt blu reported to-day by
Senator Foster, from the Committee on Ju-
dietary, is amendatory to that passed by the
House Of Representatives and is i'll the
nature of substitute. The principal al
terations proposed by the Committee are
as follows: .-.r5 --.....t. ..
Sth and 10Th Sections are stricken out -
In the sections for distribution Of bankrupt
estates the Committee will strike out the
clause emitting debts due physicians to pri-
ority of payment of fees and costs of suits
concerning property of bankrupt debts and
taxes due to the United States and States in
which bankruptcy is pending wages to op-
eratiyes, clerks and servants, not to exceed
$50 Debts due persons entitled by the
laws of the United States to preference
shall have priority of payments.
In the 37th and 3Sth Sections, it is provi-
ded that the discharge duly granted, shall
free bankrupts from all liabilities except
those mentioned in the provisions that are
made for cases where the discharge is fraud
proper proof of frauds Other amendments
of less importance.
