Review Of COlOFed Troops.

By special arrangements, made late on Saturday
a number of members Of the Legislature accompa-
MED BY several ladies' yesterday visited the barracks
of severa. battaions of cOlored troops located N
the vicinity. The day was beautiful, with line
br acng atmosphere and early in the afternoon the
party among whom we noticed Brevet Major-Gcn-
erals R. W. johnson and Jas L. Donaldson Briga-
der Generals c. B. Fisk and Z. 3. Tower, Colonel
Shafter Governor Brownlow and Staff, Hon. j. 5
Fowler a V S Lindsey, Postmaster at Nashville
and Colonel John Brownlow editor of the Knox
Vile Wing reached the Exchange Barracks, where
the 18th U. S. C. l., Lieutenant Colonel Thronlck
commanding, was drawn up in line, and went
through the usual dress-parade drill. Thence the
party crossed over to Fort Morton, where Battery
b, Captain F. P Meigs, L. S. c.. A are garrisoned.
The perfection in drill attained by this company
was highly complmented by General Donaldson
and others. The 10lst regiment, Colonel Barnard,
was next visited, and dress-parade witnessed; and
likewise the 18th regiment Colonel VIM. Inncss and
the eth regiment Lieut.. Colonel Pickering COM
manding.
As e party proceeded TO the different barracks
a large number of officers on horseback, accompan-
led making gallant and spirited array by the time
"the shades of evening" drew and the barracks
of the 18th u. S. c. l were reached. Those present
seemed highly pleased with the appearance and SOL
dierly qualities presented by the men.
In this connection we may notice the progress
made bv the new brass band Of the 9Th T. S. c. l..
which have only had their instruments few weeks.
At an expense of about ST. 400 the officers supplied
the band with fifteen brass instruments, and we are
assured that scarcely six weeks ago many of the
members could not read musical note. By close
application and persevering, they already play COM
mendably well.-PrsSS and Times.

The Family of Jefferson Davis.

Air. Jefferson Davis was well known by sight TO
most of the citizens of Richmond and sojourners
here during the war. He might be seen any morn
ing walking with erect mein and measured military
step from his residence on Clay street to his office
in the third story Of the Custom House. or any
evening during the spring and summer of 1862, the
latter part of 1864, and the early months of the
present year. at which several times the Federal
hosts were laying siege to Richmond riding to the
front, alone, or accompanied by single aid. These
frequent occasions gave all an opportunity of bccom
ing familiar with his appearance. With Mrs.
Davis it was different. Few of our citizens, beyond
the congregation of st. Pauls Church, saw her,
and not more than dozen visited her sociably. She
and her sister, Miss Howell, found their society
among the wives and daughters Of Confederate Off
Gals who with the staff and post officers of the Con-
federate army, made up what was known the
Court circle Though Mr.. Davis family were
little known to our people, they for four years, held
such high position here that their fate must be a
matter Of some interest TO u.s. With the purpose of
stating their whereabouts, this paragraph was be-
gun.
Mrs Jefferson Drvis is residing at the house of a
Mr.. Schuyler, near Augusta, Georgia She enjoys
her usual robust health, is under surveillance, and
is permitted to correspond at will with her husband
and friends. Mrs. Howell, Mrs. Davis mother, is in
Canada in general charge Of the children of the lat
ter, of whom Maggie, aged eleven years, Is at the
convent of the Sacred Heart at Montreal, and jeff,
aged nine is at school at LennOxvie, distant from
Montreal sixty miles Richmond Times.

4 New York Democrat on Democracy

Gen. Peck, Of New York, was from his youth, q
Jealous Democrat, (receiving his cadetship from
President Van Buren, until slavery made war upon
the government And now, with perfect knowl-
edge of the dupcity Of his old associates he says
Fellow Democrats, beware of that party which
for and against the war; which opposed the
Draft Law, and is responsible for untold millions of
bounty money. Beware of that party which de-
clared the war a failure and was rejected by the
people in November last, by an extraordinary ma
jOrity. Beware of that party which would have
received the rebel States with all their slaves, and
indCmnihed their owners for losses. Beware of the
ofthe party which is throwing every obstacle in the
canvass for the defeat Of the proposed amendment
to the Constitution of the United States. Beware
Of that party whose opposition TO the government
in 1862 and 1863 united the divided south made the
rebels sanguine Of success and emboldencd their
base allies in Europe. Beware of that party whose
policy, direct and indirect has prolonged the war at
least eighteen months, and is responsible to the tax
payers to families and history for the consequent
losses and expenditures. Beware Of that party
which, in New York is striving TO cover up its re-
cord and blind the people, by pretended con-
version TO the views Of President Jehnson,
and by marvellous outburst Of love for
the soldiers. An examination of the platforms of
New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
other States show that il is all a trick and sham
The peaceful leopard, Democracy, cannot change its
spots.
Modern Democracy Is drifting without compass
OF rudder, and with no light save that which occa-
sioned flashes frum its ancient record.

The AndeFSOnViIle Horrors.

The Jersey Prison Ship Sugar House Prison, and
the Calcutta Black Hole all together do not combine
in their record tthc Of the horrors that viii make
Andersonvillc by-word forever on the lips of all
men who abhor inhumanity. Whatever the real
responsibility Of the great crime which is synony-
nous with infamy may rest, the history cf the re-
belion will never cease to be illustrated by the he'll
sh practices and heroic suherngs which alternately
make up the diary Of its hateful existence Angels
must have looked down upon those devoted Union
prisoners only to weep over their groans their pray
er5, their frenzy and their lingering fate. One
could not have believed before the occurrence Of the
war, that nameless spectacle like this would have
presented itself in the heart of what the people Of
this nation have always styled their civilization 1t
Is too shocking for contemplation The nervous
system itself revolts and relaxes at the fearful de-
tails.
Nothing that the Government can do in the way
of administering punishment for a crime vast and
so unparalleled in the history of crimes will heal
those wounds which have been left in numberless
circles by its commission, make atonement for the
rernetual disgrace which viii attach to the cause for
whose professed aid If tolerated Ii remains and
ever will remain moral blot, blacker than the rest
on the side of a rebellion which It's authors cannot
any LONGER have the presumption to vindicate in the
face of practices so utterly strocious and unpardon-
able It'may be that infinite forgiveness of Heaven
can find in its reach to overlook it at last but it is
sure never TO pass out ohe memory nor to lack for
the execration of the human race. The cause in
whose name such q crime was held, deserved thou
sand times 70 fall that account alone 1t couldnot
but be accursed Of God from the beginning. The
contemplation Of what was thus done in their midst
should tend TO humiliate and soften the hearts of
those once rebeeus and TO start the growth of kind
ness and brotherly feeling if only from the promp
tiRgs Of shame

The Work before the National Union
Party.

The Washington Chronicle of the 10th inst de-
votes long article to the work before the Nationa
Union party" in which il advises the union ofthosc
whose counsels have preserved the Government,
upon platform of principles which viii insure their
future success. We make the following extract
from this article:
The materials for the base the superstructuTe the
solid walls and the crowning canopy of great ma
uoual Union party are, We conceive, TO be found in
the following plain propositions
/. That the rebellion neither destroyed the Re
public nor the States of which it is composed.
:. That slavery having provoked and hastened
and fought for the rebellion, II forfeited by the
hcst gun fred by treason was destroyed by the de-
structOn Of the rebel armies and buried in the
same grsve with the rebellion itself.
). Thst the four millions of human beings made
free by the success of the Union arms must be pro-
teCed in their efforts TO labor for and TO elevate and
instruct themselves; and that the government
should adopt such policy will forever prevent
them from being made the victims Of the cruelty Of
their former masters.
l. That to pay the national debt, principal and
interest is obligation rs sacred and as binding
the covenant 10 maintain the Union and the Obe-
dience we owe TO God.
;. That not one farthing Of the debt incurred 10
BEGIN and 10 prosecute the rebellion should ever be
recognized by the Government or the people Of the
United States, or regarded save as monument OF
Lhe fatal deIuslon ana Uls peAhAUIt u IA
men who took arms against their benefactor and
f-iend.
9 That none Of the authors and leaders OF the re-
bsllion should ever be admitted 10 places OF trust
OF honor under the General Government.
.. That heneeforward the energies Of the people
II the restored Union should be devoted 70 the de-
yelopment OF the natural resources of the whole
country 70 the protection of the domestic industries
Snd manufactures, and to the perfection of those
great connecting overland thoroughares by which
all sections and States are brought and bound TO-
Gether. and the whole fabric of American freedom
woven into one indestructible and inviolable Con-
stitution and Government.

HOnesyear ago, when large rebel armies were
ghting on Southern fields for the defeat of our tick
ct then held up to you only the flag of the Union
and I appealed to You TO stand by the party which
stood by It. Then ! asked you TO sustain the Union

ask you to stand by the Union party because it has
saved the country"
It strikes us that there Is the case about as COM

FIRST GENUINE OIL WELL IN
ILLINOIS.
Excitement over the Discovery,
Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.
MARSHAL, ILL, Nov. Is, 1865.
OIL DISCOVERIES IN CLARK COUNTY.


This county is greatly excited in regard to
the coal oil business, and but little else is
talked about. One well has been sunk 325
feet, which now yields from 2 to 8 barrels of
lubricating oil PER day. This, We learn, is
the first oil found in Illinois. This is gas
well, and the water and oil are blown from
ten to twenty feet above the top of the we'll.
The coal oil odor Is very distinct ct a distance
of four miles. The gas, some weeks ago, &C.
cidently took fire, burned up the derrick, and
blazed to the height of $50 feet, but with
great perseverance the flames were extn-
guished. Another accident occurred at the
we'll last week which is feared will be more
serious. While removing the anger and CHS
ell the rope broke. and they are yet in the
well, but some experienced borers think that
they can soon get these tools out.
1t is now clearly demonstrated that we
have oil in Clark county, and all the devel-
opponents thus far indicate that it will be
found in large quantities. Many places have
been found in the county where, by putting a
tight barrel with one head out over these
marshy places, the gas will accumulate in
large quantities, and by boring gimlet hole
at the top and applying a match you will
have Q bright red blaze from six to eight in
ches high.
Many companies have organized in the
county and eight or ten wells will be CON-
menced next spring. One company from the
northern part of the state have the machine
ry on the ground and will sink a we'll this
winter. The geological formations through
which the fret we'll penetrated are all said to
be very favorable. Prof. WILDER, in his re-
port to this company after a thorough exam
nation. says, "Having made extensive sur
veys of oil lands In the west, l know of none
go favorable for profitable investment"
1t is clearly impressed on the minds of FALL
who visit this locality that the indications of
large basins of oil are sufficiently strong to
Justify considerable expenditures in explora-
ton.
