OIL ON TIE EAST SANDY.

The latest excitement from the Venango
oil region is caused by the new well struck
last week on East Sandy Creek. In that
direction the pilgrims are vending their
way, from Franklin, instead of the usual
route to Oil City. The new well belongs
to the Adsmantine Oil Company of Phila-
delPhia, and is located on the South bank
of the creek below the Keystone Oil Com
pany's lands. The present vein was struck
at depth of 46O feet. This oil is worth

ousy estimated at from 80 to $50 bbls per
day. East Sandy is six miles from Frank.

The Richmond Eraminer, of the Oath,
says, editorially, the entire force of the en-

soil, is not supposed tS-exceed one hundred
and seventy-fve thousand men.
This is the power which proposes the
subjugstion of population of at least three
million of people, embracing, at the lowest
estimate 100000 men able to bear arms
who may be spared from business and pre-
duetion. The sudseious effort of the enc

their number of populstion, and more than
three times their numbeF of fighting man.

spread consternation and paralysis wherev-
er they go. The South undertook the en-
terprise of secession with clear knowl-
edge of the fact that their snccess would
depend upon their ability to cope with
power four or five times as strong, and the
gage was gladly taken up by our chivalric
volunteers, fighting each man, two. or thres
or four to one. 1t is now become a cues

They have thrown aside all caution, and
with temerity as insulting as it has hith-
erto been successful, are boarding our man
hood In its very homesteads. If the spirit
OF the South does not rise up and punish
this insolence, subjugationis not far of, and
1t will SO shamefully befall us that neither
sympathy nor honor will attend US in our
calamity. If the present movements of the
enemy are permitted to be successfully ex-
ecUtsd, then it will have become manifest
that some inherent demeTit in the cause

General GranI.s PrIYate views.

The Quincy Herald publishes an extract
from private letter written by Lieuten-
ant General Grant to his old friend and
school-fellow, the Hon. Isaac n. Morris.
The letter is dated Headquarters
Armies of the United States, City Point
Virginia, February 10th, 1866, and was
writer, not dictsted by General Grant
himself. The following is the extrsct'
which will be read with interest
"Kvery thing looks to me to be very
favorable for speedy termination of the
war. The people of the South are ready
for it if they can get clear Of their leaders
It is hard to predict what will become of
them, the leaders, whether they will fee
the country or whether the people will
forcibly depose them and take the matter
in their own hands. One or the other will
likely occur if our spring campaign Is as

Last winters sanitary Pair.

EDITORS LEADER: No small amount Of
distrust has been produced In certain qus--
ters by the failure of somebody to publish
q satisfactory report OF the proceeds of the
Sanitary Fair, held in this city one year
since. At the time it was understood by
the public that said fair netted about one
hundred thousand dollars, while the Aid
Society Acknowledges the receipt of only
fifteen thousand. The query is Where
is the rest ofthe money? Those who have
the dispensing Of this charity should know
that publicity only can prevent distrust.
The above communication, from high
ly respected gentleman, suggests the neces-
sity of soma official and detailed report of
the receipts and expenditures attending
the Sanitary Fair of last winter. The
$4,000 reported by the Soldiers Aid So
ciety, is merely what has been received
from the gentlemen in whoee hands the
proceeds of the Fair were placed. We
understand that there are yet remaining
there some sixty or seventy thousand dol
lars. It is certainly desirable, for the sat
isfsction Of the epublic, that some report be
forthcoming. The gentlemen whose busi-
ness it is to make the report should do so
for their own sskes and thus remove an
distrust. Let US have the too
long delayed report.

An Important Amendment to the En-
rOIIment Bill.

FOlIment Bill.
Those sub-distriets that are making no
efforts to fill their quotas under the i'm
pending draft, will not derive much COM
fort from the following section of the en-
rollment Bill that will probably pass both
the Senate and the House. It reads thus
A,d be IL further enacted, That hereafter
all persons mustered into the military or
naval service, whether as volunteers, sub
stitutes, representatives, or otherwise, shall
be credited 10 the State and to the ward,
township, precinct, or other enrolment
sub-district where such persons belong by
actu & residence, (if such persons have an
actual residence,) or where such persons
were OF shall be enrolled, (ii liable to en-
rollment j and it is hereby made the duty
of the Provost Marshal General to make
such rules and give such instructions to
the several provost msrshsls, boards of en-
rollment, and mastering officers, as shall
be necessary for the faithful enforcement
of the provisions Of this section, to the end
end that fair and just credit shall be given
to every section Of the country.
This enactment, providing that men
shall be credited to the sub-distriets where
they actually belong by residence, will
prevent theshifting of men from one local
ity to another. Recruiting before and sf
ter draft must be done in the sub-district
alone where the recruits are needed. This
will prevent the competition in high boun-
ties nv which men in forming districts and
districts not able to pay, are withdrawn to
more wealthy sub-districts' The bill will
consequently make bounties more uniform
by preventing the competition that other
wise arises. This law will be in force in a
fe wdays, and then sub-disrricts unprOvi-
ded with men must obtain them in their
own midst. Work, therefore, while the
sun shines.

Free Rendering.

A loyal paper in Connecticut gives the
following free rendering of the resolutions
adopted at a recent convention Of the OPP
position, held at Meriden, in that state:
ResOlved, That this is a bloody, unholy,
unnecessary war, and the administration
could stop it at once.
ResOtved That the citizen soldiers who
hight this unholy war, are engaged In q
noble work, and we should like their votes.
Resolved, That if the administration had
ghewn the cOnciiatory spirit of Grant in
Virginia and Sherman In Georgia, the war
would have been over.
This is of a piece with the expression of
halfway loyalty which fall from the lips
OF rebel sympSthizers.

Important Decision ia RegaFd to Re.
EnKOIImeDt and Quotas.

EnKOIImeDt and Quotas.
The citizens of Chicago sent committee
of three to Washington to secure, if posi-
bic, re-enrollment of that place with a
view to new assignment of quotas. The
results Of that interview are of such gen.
ersl interest that we herewith add the re-
ply of Secretary Stanton, as reported by
one of the committee. The committee
maintained that there was an excessive en-
rollment in Chicago, amounting to from ten
to fifteen thousand.
Secretary Stanton replied, first, that a
ueWenrollment might not materially re-
duce the present one; second, that it was
too late to make it now without interfering
with the present draft; third, that if grant.
ed, fifty other districts in dozen different
States would elamor for the same privilege.
If granted to Chiosgo it must be granted
to other cities and districts. That he would
rather excuse Chicago from furnishing q
man than to allow q re-enrollment under
the present cGll, as the example would pro-
duce discomfort and trouble in other dis
tricts, and probably keep 100000 men out
of the field when most needed. As to CIV
ing credits to mutual protection clubs for
men put in by them, he thought the law as
it stood would not allow it, but he would
examine the matter carefully.
General Fry objected to granting the
requests of the committee, for various rea.
sons; in the main, the same as those pre-
sented by Mr.. Stanton. The President pa
tiently listened to the arguments of each
side, occasionally asking question, to clear
up some point and the made the following
decision: A re-enrollmeRt during the pres
ent draft cannot be granted, because the
same privilege would have to be conceded
in many othel districts, which also COM
plain similarly.
An effort was also made to securs mu-
tual protection clubs credits pro rata.
Secretary Stanton thought the law would
not allow it. Mr.. Lincoln was anxious
that it might be done. An authoritative
decision on this point will soon be made.

THE NINTH OF JANUARY, 1861.
[From the Charlestou N[ercurv.l

[From the Charleston Mercury.l
Great events crowd rapidly one upon
another. Three short weeks age and The
greatest event Of the century upon the
Western Hemisphere was transacted in
Charleston. The Union of the States of
North America was dissolved by the &C
tion Of the State of South Carolina.
1t appears to be decree of history tbs
upon al great revolutions or changes of
the Government of people, the red seal of
blood must be set. Yesterday, the eth day
of January, will be memorable day in
history. Powder has been burned over
the decree of our State, timber has been
crushed, perhaps blood spilled. South Car
olinA still maintains her liberties and her
Independence whilst there is "a single shot
in her lockers" Blind infatuation is driv-
ing our enemies forward, and stroke by
stroke the liberties of the South are being
welded and cemented together.
The expulsion of the steamer Star of the
West, from the Charleston harbor, yester-
day morning, was the opening OF the ball
of the Revolution. We are proud that
our harbor has been so honored. We are
more proud that the State Of South Car
olina, so long, SO bitterly, SO contemptously
reViled and seofed at, above all others,
should thus proudly have thrown back
the scott of her enemies. Intrenched upon
her soil, she has spoken from the mouth of
her cannon, and not from the mouths of
seurrilous demsgogues fanatics and scrib-
blers.
Condemned, the sanctity of her water Vi
olsted with the hostile purpose ofre-inforc-
ing enemiesin our hsrbor, she has not hes
itated to strike the first blow, full in the
face Of her insulter. Let the United States
bear or return at their good will, the blow
still tingling about her ears, the fruit of her
own bandit temerity. We would not re-
call or exchange that blow for millions. 1t
has wiped out half century Of scorn and
outrage. Again South Carolina may be
proud Of her historic fame and ancestry,
without blush upon her cheek for her
present honor.
The naughty echo of her cannon has ere
this reverberated from Maine to Texas,
through every hamlet of the North and
down along the great waters of the South
west. The decree has gone forth. Upon
every acre of the peaceful soil of the South
armed men will spring up as the sound
breaks upon their ears, and it will be found
that every word of our insolent foes has
indeed been dragons teeth, sown for their
destruction.
And though greasy and treacherous ruff
fans may cry on the dogs of war, and
trsitorOus politicians may lend their aid
in deceptions, South Carolina will stand
under her own palmetto tree, un5srrihed
by the snarling growls or the assaults of
the one, and undeterred by the willy mach
nations of the other. And if that red sea
of blood be still lacking to the parchment
of our liberties, and blood they want, blood
they shall have, and blood enoughto stamp
it all in red. For, by the God OF our Fa-
thers the soil of South Carolina shall be
free

OIL IN MICHIGAN.


The petroleum fever has broken out On
the st. Clair river, in Michigan. and is
raging 6ercely. Port Huron is gushing
with oil companies, and wells are being
sunk in almost every direction, except in
the bed of the river. The Port Huron
Press speaks confidently of the prospects,
and says:
From present indications the coming
spring and summer will witness a degree
Of success in obtaining oil that viii as
tonish the doubters and equal the expec-
tations of the most sanguine.
OIL IN CALIFORNIA.
A letter dated San Francisco, January
9th, says:
And speaking of mining reminds me
that we are just beginning to catch the pc
troleum Injection here, which has nearly
run crazy everybody in the East. Petro-
leum lands are very abundant here, es-
peciAllyin the Southern portion of the
State. % A gentleman in this city, who is
resident Of San Bernardino county, DOS
sesses . body Of land in San Bernardino
county, on which there are eight oil springs.
A party. of New York spectators are ne
gotiating for the land, and have already
offered its owner 100000 In greenbacks
for it. The excitement is just commencing
here; many persons talk of petroleum,
and San Francisco capitalists are sending
men out in all directions to buy up oil
lands. Discriminating observers predict
that we will have petroleum excitement
that will throw Frazier River, Boise,
Idaho, Washoe, and Reese River excite
ments far into the shade. Of an oil land
recently sold to person in this city for
$4,000, the half was resold for s50, 900,
and that half was again sold for 100000,
and Ihave since heard that it has been or.
gsnized into q joint stock company upon q
basis which makes that half interest repre-
sent 100000.
