Oil Matters,

Oil matters are becoming lively
and somewhat exciting-new terrific
ry is being leased--new companies
formed--new wells bored-and, in
deed, it seems now that the whole
Campaign country will be thourough-
ly explored and tested during the
summer
The Champaign Oil Company" are
still working their well, although, for
the want of tanks and barrels, it is
not being pumped to its full capaci-
ty. The supply Of oil is still equal
to the statement we made two weeks
since. Other parties have appeared:
claiming to have leased from the
former proprietor, the territory on
which the well is situated, and the
case has given rise to considerable
excitement amongst oil men. The
new Observation-Disclosures an lnjunc-
tion to stop the Company from work
ing the well until the matter could
be litigated, and the question of title
settled. The case was heard before
Judge LoGUE, of the Probate Court,
on Friday last, who granted an in
junction, and ruled the petitioners to
give bond in the sum of 100000
Up to going to press the bond had
not been filed. When that occurs
of course the pumping of the well
will cease until the question Of own
erihip Is determined. The Compa-
ny in the mean time, are preparing
to develope some new territory.

proposes to pay the balance, what

from that the amount the Govern

balance, if there be any balance, is
the amount he will be entitled to if
the bill passes.

Victims of Rebel Barbarity.

During visit to the State Hospital
for the insane, some weeks ago, our
attention was attracted by the pecu-
liarly sad and hopeless expression of
one OF the patients. He was a man
apparently about fifty five years of age,
with grizzled locks, a sturdy, well knit
frame, and decentlY clad in hOme-spun
His general appearance was that of an
ordinary elderly farmer. He was sit
ting with downcast eyes, wholly absorb
ed in his own thoughts. Nothing di
verted has attention. Passing by him
several times, we were struck by his
motionless posture, his entire abstrac-
ton from the things around him, and
haggard expression of his face. On
inquiring Of DR.. Van Nostrand, the
Superintendent, he related to us briefly
the history of the patient He was a
farmer in comfortable circumstances.
residing IN one of the remote counties
of the State. When the Southern
Shareholders rose in rebellion to over
throw the Government and divide the
country, this man had a son, dearly
loved, who enlisted to aid in defending
the. republic against its enemies. For
a time ne received letters from him
occasionally, but during the last year
of his term of service these ceased to
come. No intelligence reached his
parents, however, that anything had
befallen him. His regiment was about
to return to be mustered out. The
parents hoped that all was well with
their boy, and that he had only neg
lected writing. In this hope they eag-
erly awaited the return of the regi-
ment and its muster out, expecting
that their son would return with ib.
At length the regiment came and was
mustered out, when from the members
Of his company they learned that their
son had been taken prisoner by the
rebels, confined at Andersonville, and
had there died of starvation, a victim
to the internal and malignant cruelty Of
the rebel authorities, who deliberately
adopted a system of starvation and ex-
pOsure, to destroy, or ineapaetate for
further service the Union soldiers who
fell into their hands.
The news, made doubly poignant by
its suddenness and by coming at the
very moment they expected to meet
their son, was a blow so terrible that
it shattered the reason of both father
and mother. Both became insane
Only the father, however, was brought
to the hospital, his wife being cared
for by friends at home. He sits moody
and distracted for hours, and again al
times has paroxysms of frenzy, when
he fancies that he hears his sons
voice calling to him that he is starva-
ing to death. The same form of delir-
ium characterizes the mother. Both
imagine that they hear the voice Of
their dead son calling to them from
the far off scene of agony and death In
the horrid prison pen of Andersonville
and implOring their aid.-MadjsOn

erent times, too, he spoke Of the riot,
relating facts and incidents as / have
set them down
It afflicted him much to leave his
wife penniless. He had little mon
ey in his pocket when he came to the
convention, but that, with the gold
studs In his bosom, had been plunder-
ed by some of the rUhians who took
part IN mutilating his person.
Thus he fingered until the sixth day
after his injury. When the morning
of Sunday, Aug. 5, came, he remem-
bered that he had an appointment to
exchange pulpIts with a cOlored broth
er IN the city, and said
Emma, we must send word to
Bro. Miles that l can t come. l don't
feel quite well enough to preach.
As time went on his mind began to
wander, and he fancied himself in his
own pulpit. He invoked the Divine
blessing. he gave out a hymn and sung,
wounded and suffering as he was, his
wife, who Wept as she thought of the
melody of his fine voice, joining him
at his request, half choked by her
tears. Then he prayed with her. sung
again, and preached, taking for his
text, Out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh. P" After
these exercises heeXpressed his wish
to close with the Lords Supper, and
Immediately began the beautiful cere-
mOny. His wife, anxious to crafty
him, skilfully aided, with such meagre
cOnyeniences as were at hand, to carry
out bis touching fancy. He partook
with her what seemed to him the sym
bolic bread and wine. I'VE both

he Another hymn, a benedicticu,
and the sufferer began to grow weak,
as if, indeed, his work was done.
L am going now, Emma" he Whis-
pered. I'm sorry you cant come
with me. In the fall you'll come.
Then there were no more connected
sentences, but incoherent syllables of
prayer, and whispers of sanity hope.

The Head Of RiChelieu.

It appears that some of the Richie

disclosed the fact that the great Cardi-

upon arose was, what had become Of

to be spared in the efforts to recover it.
After several months Of research, the
head has at length been found in the
possession of an acient family in Bret

opening of the box describe the head
as being In a wonderful state of pres

because there are many who would in
fnitely prefer having the head pre-
served above ground, that they might
be allowed to stare at it to their curl

once greatest man of Europe have
said, or rather, what would he have

An Tndependant Family.

everything that other persons usually

His great amusement was farming.

his own management, the whole pro

own family. He would not suffer
single penny to be laid out for any ar
ticle the farm produced, such as wheat.
malt, hops, meat, butter, cheese, CT
der, &c. He extended his rigid rule
to wine, but after bringing bis son mp
as a gardener, sent him to France to
learn the art Of dressing vines. On
his return home, he had a vineyard
planted and drank the wine produced
from IT, whether it was good or bad
He used honey instead Of sugar, which
he would never permit, any more than
tea, to enter his house.
His family from waistful extrava-
gance, were two months without bread;
but still he would not permit single
loaf to be bought, but lived himself
and made all his family live, upon po-
tatoes. Sir Philip was kind, nay,
charitable, and much beloved. He
was goOd-Datured. unless any one Of

which case he became angry and in

hundred persons like a stern but SEN

servants.
