Coon OH NEws.-A letter from
Burksville, KY, to one of the direc-
tors OF the Sacramento Petroleum
Company, states that the well at the
mouth of Crocus creek is now produc-
ing from one to two hundred barrels
Of oil per day. Some trouble hereto
fore occurred in the management Of
this well, and in the peculiar forma-
ton through which the oil is obtained :;
the pump was not large enough to
exhaust the water, so that the oil
could come up, and a crevice in the
rock let much of the oil waste into
the river. To set both these Difficult
ties right the well was sunk deeper and
a larger pump put into it. The result
has been that the oil has come up and
is now coming in magnificent quaint
ties and in superb quality This well
at the mouth of Croeus Creek, and the
| known facts that exist as to the old
American and Garnet wells, to say
nothing of the Gilwreath, Greensboro
and Cloyd wells, now producing fine
oil in paying quantities, leave no room
to doubt that there is plenty Of oil in
in Cumberland county. All who bore
may not get oil, but some will find it
in that region, and splendid fortunes
will be made therefrom Let all in
terested take courage, for the signs of
the times are promising, and few
more strikes in Cumberland may
make millionaires of those we least
expect.-Louisville Courier.

quarters inside the Fort. She re
NAMED there last night, having pre-
viously sent for her baggage and man
servant. DR.. Cooper, Post Surgeon,
and, by virtue of such position the
medical attendant of Mr.. Davis, has
given her apartments in the house oc-
cupied by himself and family. The
Doctor, it will be remembered, is not
only the medical adviser of Mr.. Davis,
but also furnishes him his meals from
his own table. ri .4atf MAJ
AS stated in my letter of yesterday,
Mrs. Davis obtained permission to
visit her husband direct from President
johnson. But the permission was
given under certain restrictions,
though with a liberality of indulgence
that greatly surprises very many here.
The restrictions are that she is not to
use any influence or contribute any aid
to the rescue Of Mr.. Davis, or his re-
lease otherwise than through the prop
er Government channels. The indul<
gence granted her admits her to uncon-
strained interviews. with her husband.
and at all hours of the day between
reyeiHe and sunset 1t is not enjoined
that an officer shall be in the room
with them, neither is it forbidden. In
the absence of such injunction, Gen.
Miles to-day allowed her to visit her
husband unattended by an officer. A
sentinel, however, walked back and
forth continually in front of the bar
red windows of his room. Last, and
not least, no limit is placed upon the
length of her visit . .....
In answer to a question how long
she proposed to make her visit, Mrs
Davis said emphatically, Il intend to
remain until Mr.. Davis is ordered away
for trial, or he is released from prison
or dies" And she is a woman of that
decision and spirit that she will dc
what she says, unless some intermedi
ate Introduction occurs to prevent it
She evidently has no such fears, anC
it is believed she knows too well the
tenure of her soiourn, to allow her
self to entertain any such apprehen
siOns
1t is natural for women to be en-
thusiastic, particularly when thei
strongest affections and more cherish
ed hopes are interested. Mrs. Davis
is probably not an exception. 1t il
certain that she is enthusiasticall,
hopeful regarding the future of MI
Davis. She expresses the sure belle
that he will very soon be released OF
his parole 1t is possible that tn
wish, in her case, is father to tn
thought, but she talks with that de
gree of assurance on the topic carry
ing conviction Of stronger basis 70
the belief she expresses than idle sur
misses founded on delusive hope
There might be persons, she says, VIII,
would like to rescue Mr.. Davis iron
prison, but she scouts the idea of III
accepting any such release. He vii
not 90 away from here, she declares
unless in a manner COMFORTING wit
his sense of high honor; and sh
claims for him punctillio of homo
partaking of the chivalry of the oil
knights of the medieval ages O
the subject of parole she insists wit
equal emphasis, that he would sacr
flee his life before violating his parole

These two notablities have had q
controversy. If the broad Atlantic
did not roll between them, we might,
by a stretch of chivalric Imagination,
suppose that it would end in pistols
and coffee. On the 18th Of February,
Mr. Bancroft delivered q speech in
the House of Representatives, in
which he said, referring to the break
ing out Of the civil war in this country {:
The British Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs made hoste to send
word through the palaces Of Europe
that the great Republic was in its
agony; that the Republic was no
more: that headstOnc was all that
remained due by the law of nations to
the late Union.
As soon as the English Premier
saw this statement he addressed a
letter to Dear Mr.. Adams, in which
he denies IN toto its truth, and under
takes to show that the very converse
Of it is true. Mr.. Bancroft, however,
comes back at him, and quotes co
piously from his (Russelrs) own
double-1accd declarations and dis
patches.
10 our understanding, the Amer
lcan gentleman mas made strong
case against the olu Eh@Ilsh puo-lGhc.

oPlhe that there VIII be more squlrmlhg
ana double dealing on the part OF
Her MUestys Secretary for Foreign
Affairs than he ever exhibited IN his
ridiculous efforts to maintain "a strict
neutrality between the American
hcligercnts.
The plain truth is Russell must
either be in his dotage, or he consid-
crs the science craftsmanship to be
the science Of duplicity. His very
declarations and official dispatches
generally admit OLA double construc-
ton. His whole course throughout
the late American war was of ,
double-faced character. There may

The Five Cents Tax on Cotton

Below we copy from the Memphis
Appeal q pointed letter from an en-
inent merchant of Memphis adj
dressed to the Chamber of Commerce
of that city. 1t shows by figures
which don't lie the oppressive char
acter of the proposed tax at five cents
per pound on all the cotton raised in
the South. 1t does seem to us that
the camers back will break after
awhile
SIR: / have been looking for the
chamber of commence to demonstrate
against the proposed 3 cents tax Oh
cotton. If cotton remains at SOC. the
tax will be Is % per cent Of the
gross receipt; if 25c., 90 per cent. OF
the gross receipt; if 2Oc., % per cent
of the gross receipt; if 15c., 33 pei
cent of the gross receipt; if 12c.
about 40 per cent. of the gross re
ceipt. What it will be on the net re
ceipt will of course depend upon thu
economy of management of each in
dividual planter But the presump
ton is, it will not be more than hal
the gross receipt; therefore, the gov
eminent would be taxing Southern
industry from 33 to 80 per cent.
whilst the New England manufactures
the New York bondholder and land
lord and the Northern farmer is onl,
to be taxed five per cent, of his net
receipts or income.
1 think the mere figures, as presen
ted, make up the argument and logic
necessary on the occasion.
