On H LnsEsroxE.-The sandusky Regis
ter says;
We were shown yesterday two samples
Of oil obtained in this city and vicinity
One was taken from the well at Mr.. Hos
mer's brewery, where they have been boring
for some days, and is undoubtedly q pure
article of petroleum. The other came
from Mr. Baird's, in the vicinity Of the
County Infrmary, and is very fine speci-
men of lubrieating oil, worth at least two
dollars per gallon as it comes from the
ground.
The sample from Mr.. Baird's was dis
covered in digging a well, into which it
came IN such quantities as to deter them
from further progress, and not knowing
anything about the value of oil, the well
was abandoned and finally partially filed
up and eemented for a cistern. The ground
has been leased by a company, and a well
will be sunk there in the spring.
The oil excitement is grOwing-our peo-
pie are thoroughly aroused, and If oil
really exists in the vicinity, it will be found
on the opening of spring, if not sooner.

The Revival Of Trade.

Notwithstanding ~" prediction Of many

business would .r ;raus:ctoi in Chari"st on
until ,h- approach Of HE f,l season. we
are pleused to observe that our merchants
and traders are quite enthusiastic; over the
success which is daily attending their "u.
terrrisng efforts. Of course, We cannot
expect that heavy trade from which on
o3enng up of the railroads Will give US in
the fall; but We can expect, and, il. fact.
are realizing. minor lrtn:.ot ION; II husl-
ness which, Il; cu t2gethcr form u good

communications with the intcvio: Will do
more towards increasing trade in C!nr.>.
ton than any other cause The residents
Of country towns are destitute OF many Of
the common articles Of provisions, to say
nothing o! table delicacies. and are sadly
in want of wearing apparel. In order To
supply themselves with these articles. they
will accept the first opportunity 10 visit
the city, and when the railroads are IN
operation, we may look forward to 4 large
influx of citizens from the interior.
AS it is, it must not be supposed ;hat We
in Charleston are having AL the trade TO
ourselves. Persons recently from Colu:n
bia report that very fair business is
being transacted at that place. The hu~
ness is conducted principally on the system
Of barter. there being scarcely any money
in circulation. The traders who lett
Charleston and established stores at
Orangeburg, and other places on the line
Of railroad. are doing well. A number of
bales Of cotton have been received in ex-
change for goods, and it seems to he the
disposition Of the own-rs OF cotton to
augment this kind Of trade.
With the establishment Of q nation n |
bank in our midst. the people will have
facilities for doing business hich an insti
tuition of that kind extends The banking
houses already in operation have done
much to revive the trade Of the city, and
the gentlemen who have embarked on the
enterprise are entitled to the thanks cf
the public for their energy and pcrsrvc-
rance. The plying of steamers regularly
between here and New York is another
great promoter of trade. and We are glad
to see that The line is so we'll ratroniz-t
by the merchants. That Charleston will
again become the great trading mart for
this section of the Southcrn country, is
indicated in events that daily occur At
