MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
Congressional.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-SENATE-The Senate,
in Difference to the physical disability of Mr.. Fes
sender to enter upon discussion of the recon
struction resolutions to-day as per agreement,
postponed consideration till Monday.
The consideration of the Colorado bill and veto
was postponed
The remainder of the session was occupied
principally with business relating to the District
of Columbia.
HoUsE-The House to-day considered the pre-
amble and resolutions of Representative Nc
Chung, of Missouri, declaring the continued con-
tumacy in seeded States rendered it necessary to
exercise Congressional legislation in order to give
the loyal citizens of those States protection in
their natural and personal rights enumerated in
the Constitution, and in addition thereto makes
it necessary to keep foot large standing armies
to maintain the authority of the Government;
and whereas, the country is already Oyerburden-
ed by a war debt incurred TO defend the national
ity against an infamous rebellion, &C. it is neither
just nor polite to inlict this additional expense
on the peaceful industry of the nation;
Therefore beat rcsolued That it be referred to
the Committee on Reconstruction. to inquire into
the expediency of levying contributions on the
seeding States to defray the extraordinary ex-
penses that would otherwise be imposed on the
General Government, and that said committee be
instructed to report by bill or otherwise.
The House adopted the above by vote Of 10
against IS.
The House also passed the following, introduced
by Mr.. Henderson, of New York:
Resolued, That it is the will of the House that
all just and righteous governments are intended
not to confer rights and privileges the subjects
thereof but to secure to each and every individ-
ual the full force and untrammeed exercise and
enjoyment of all these rights which God has be-
slowed on him; that the safety. happiness and
prosperity of the people require that Just and
equal penalties be annexed to the violation Of
law, and that these penalties be inflicted upon
transgressors. not for the purpose Of retalia-
ton or revenge, but to insure subOrdinatiOn
and obedience; that stand by and
sustain the President in the execution of the
laws of the United States upon a sufficient mum
Der os leading rebels in each State lately in insur
rection against the National Government; to
indicate the majesty of the law; to sustain the
confidence of loyal people. and warn the refrac-
tory for all time to come.

New York dispatches report cotton in good de-
mand, with more buyers than Sellers and prices
stiff at 37@S9c for middling, and sales large Our
dispatches say the Eoropean advices have failed
to have any effect, owing to the great falling of
in receipts, the overflow in Louisiana, and the
fact that the growing crop does not promise as
well as at first supposed The receipts at all
ports during the week were 5000 bales.
GRocERIEs.-The market has been rather i'm

during the month TO what may be called exOr-
bltant rates, and, as the speculative demand has
meaSuraDiy ceased, some reaction may be looked
for. The supply of sound corn has become ex-
ceedlngly hight, and, as a consequence, the mar
ket continues TO rule high. In provisions though
the trade is healthy, there is much less animation
than at the close of last week though the market
Is pretty well sustained at advanced rates hereto

OvERroH County, Oil WELLs-We have
learned the following facts from Ad. M. Hehe-
bown, Secretary Of the Southwestern Mutual Pc
troleum and Mining Association, who has been
visiting the Spring Creek, 0verton county, oil
regions for the past two weeks and who returned
from there on Saturday last. Mr.. Hehebown was
present during the repeated tests made at the
Newman well, belonging to the OyertoD County
Petroleum and Mining Company. The company
has four tanks Of the capacity Of over 100 barrels
each, which they pump full in one hour-oil and
water. When no pumping has been done for
twelve hours the proportion Of oil to the water
is l-l6th during the first strokes of the pump,
which. at 80 revolutions to the minute. is in
creased TO l-l2h inside Of thirty minutes from the
time Of commencement while test made at the
expiration Of f0rty-fye minutes showed l-l0th
oil. The proportion Of oil is increased in proper
ton TO the number Of revolutions per minute and
the length Of time the well is pumped. The
water can be drawn from the tanks after stand
ing six hours but is not thoroughly separated
from the oil until IL has stood twelve hours. The
color Of the oil and water, as it comes from the
we'll, resembles water which has been thoroughly
saturated with yellow clay.
Taking the quality Of oil produced by this well
into consideration II has never had parallel in
the history Of petroleum Developments, and the
high rank that this well Is destined to take will
be fully established when sufficient cooperage is
obtained to enable the company to pump it con-
stantly for two or three days. Twenty additional
tanks, holding each l75 barrels. are now being
constructed at the well. The lowest estimate
placed upon this well by those who saw it pumped
was 80 barrels per day while experienced oil men
estimate It much higher
Six teams are kept constantly hauling the oil
the river with one hours pumping each day. Tn
oil procured is the labricatng quality, free from
Impurities, and is used exclusively on the ma
ckinery at the we'll. The company has commenced
putting down another well upon the Douglas
lease contiguous to the Newman we'll.
The oil rises in all the shafts sunk in the earth
in the vicinity Of these wells to such an eI-
tent as TO completely cover the water from you.
By thrusting a stick into the mud at the edge Of
the creek large drops Of dark oil rise and flow of
upon the water.

who have a well situated upon Spring creek,
higher up near the Newman well, have suspend
