A TWOOD'S
PATENT DRILLING MACHINE,
PILE DRIVER,
AND
HYDRA ULIC SAND PUMP

II YDRA ULIC SAND UMP.
PRACTICAL TESTS having fully demon
stated the superiority Of this machine over all
others for the purpose Of sinking Oil Wells, the
undersigned is now prepared to receive orders
for the same.
This machinery comprises everything requisite
for the boring of oil wells, excepting the
STEAM ENGINE AND CAST IRON DRIV-
ING PIPE, (but will be furnished, if desired, at
reasonable price,, and dispenses with the use
of the Derrick Rope, Bull wheel and other cum
brous and expensive fixtures now in use, and is
so arranged, being constructed on wheels and
portable, that it can be easily removed for the
purpose of sinking wells in different localities.
THE DETRITUS is removed from the well
by our Patent Hydraulic process, and does not
require the removal of the drill from the boring.
This process not only removes all the detritus in
from to 10 minutes, but likewise effectually
clears out and opens all the small oil veins that
so often entirely closed up by the old process
of sand pumping.
WITH THIS MACHINE and practical en-
gineer, well can be sunk from 400 to 600 feet
within period of from Is to 30 days after the
soil pipe has been driven.
Arrangements are being made for the con-
struotion and delivery of these machines at New
York, Norwich, Newburg, N. Y, and Pittsburg,
Penna.

Bennington, Speaker of the House of

things not to be despised in raising
good men from honor to honor. The
Lieutenant Governor steps not without

in this instance the superior qualities of

its peculiar party politics, seem to sin

from the propriety ofplacing Mr.. Gardner

Voice of the English Press on the
Assassination.

The Liverpool Post OF the 9th is printed
with its columns in mourning
The Times says there is nothing in polite
al history that can be remembered, that has
ever brought forth more unanimous feeling
than this news. Personally, President Lin-
coin enjoyed kind regards from every one in
England. The extent 10 which his influence
was tstim ted in upholding amicable relations
between England and the United States has
been shown by full of unusual severity in
all classes of securities.
The Times editorally says the news will be
received throughout England with sorrow as
sincere and profound as it awoke in the u
nited States. Lncon's perfect honesty
speedily became apparent and Englshmen
learned to respect him.
1t also says: " Unjust as we believe it to
be, the confederate cause will not escape the
dishonor cast upon it by these wanton muir
ders.
The Daily News says Lincoln has not fall
EN- in fash Of triumph, for no thought oil
triumph was in that honest and humble heart;
but his task was accomplished and the battl G
OF his life was won, and in all lime to come
among all who think of manhood more than

PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE
british MINISTER

The telegraph has given the set speeches
which passed between the President and the
new British minister but the following ac-
count Of the interview, communicated by the
Washington correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette, is more interesting and suggestive
" Sir Frederick Bruce's interview with
President johnson to-day was as informal
and as undiplomatic as President Lincoln
himself could have made il. This new min
lister made his appearance with all bis stars
and decorations and presented bis credentials,
and formally read bis speech. Mr. johnson
replied, saying that he was glad to see him,
and to welcome to the capitol representa-
tive of Great Britain, and then added: "But,
sir, am not much used to the Diplomatic
fOrmalites customary on such occasions. My
idea is simply that two great nations ought
to conduct their relations very much as two
neighbors who sincerely desire peace and
good fellowship between themselves would
do, and that the less formalities about it the
better" " assure you Mr.. President" in
terrupted sir Frederick, pointing to his uni
form, and decorations, that | should feel
very much more at ease without these things
than with them"
The remark was so thoroughly English,
and at the same time so consonant to Ameri-
can prejudice against fuss and feathers, that
the President and Minister became friends at
once, and sat down for chat. Sir Frederick
asked abost Sherman President johnson
explained the position What chance is
there for Mr.. Davis, then ?" asked sir Fred
erick. " Oh, small particle still doubt
less his escape across the country" said the
President. " WELL" replied the Minister in
an inquiring tone, " should think that Mr.
Davis and few member Of his cabinet would
probably fnd it well to write pretty soon p
If they know What is for their own inter-
est responded The President ather grimly
they had better lose no time about it,
" The time has come" he added, when
traitors must be taught that they are Grimm
ais. The country mas clearly made up Its
mind on that point, and it can find no more
earnest agent of its will than myself" There
was then renewal of the mutual promise to
talk over any difficulties that might arise be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
like two neighbors sincerely DESTROYS of good
terms with each other, and so the interview
ended.

the republic might receive some detriment.
as to defer It's preparations to lay these aside
for one day after the possibility Of so doing
appeared. Our public officers then have not
been seduced by the charms Of this unusual
authority they have exercised it with hon
est intent and for the public good, and they
now prepare to lay it sside Wit the same in
tent. In the next place, the army u not i'm
patient at the prospect of peace, nor reluctant
to return, each man to his old pursuits. On
the contrary, generals who are in fullest sym
patty with their men announce the prospect
OF returning home as the most cheering hope
of the hour, and the men, devoted as they are
to the service # their country, hail the an
nouncement with acclamations Of Joy. And
finally, our people, so far from being intoxi-
Gated with their success or signing for fresh
laurels at the expense of our neighbors, and
so far from feeling that insolence of victory
for which half the world seems to be looking,
rejoice at the prospect Of returning to their
old habits, of repairing the mischief which
war has wrought, and of improving the OPP
portunity Of peaceful progress which it has
opened. The critics of whom we speak have
seen with good deal Of astonishment that a
republic can defend itself against rebellion,
and can wage war with vigor and devotion
eNirely beyond precedent. They will now
learn, and perhaps with equal astonishment,
that after such violent departure from its ha-
bitual courses, republic can return to them
with little difficulty or embarrassment, SUI

conjured up in its path.-Boston advertiser.
