We learn that our siste: parish of Calca-
sieu is. giving forth some of her hidden
wealth. The oil region in that parish has
for some time been attracting the attention
of a few intelligent gentlemen, who have
been silently, but persistently developing
the indications apparent upon the surface
of the ground. What is most astonishing
in all this, is, that in the process of putting
down wells by boring, for penetrating the
reservoir of oil, a large deposit of most
beautiful sulpher has been discovered.
This deposit lies in three layers, n of
fifteen feet, one of twenty feet, and one of
ninety six feet. They extend through a
depth from the surface, of four hundred
feet. The OVERLAPPING. matter is mostly blue
and yellow clay, with occasional drifts of
shell. In some localities, a friabIe sand
stone is found, within ten feet of the surface
very irregular in its position, and having
the appearance of having thus been upheav-
ed at some very recent date. The whole
region is a puzzle to all who have visited
the locality, and is worthy of a more critical
examination by some competent Geologist.
Owing to these interesting developments,
and the vast forests of pine and cyprus
giving employment to many saw mills, we
believe the parish of Calcasieu is destined
to become the theatre of extended enter
prise.

Arrival and March Of General POello-Rebes
Encounter on the Santa Margnrita-No He
sulls-News from Puerto Padre md Gibnra.
NUEvITAs. July IL, 1869.
On arrival OF General PoellO with his stan ana 800
men the Catalan volunteers gave them an enthu-
giastc reception.
Having been informed that there were several
bands OF rebels bent upon burning plantations Gen.
eral Poeo. instead Of going directly TO Principe,
took the battalion to Baga. Here forty soldiers OF
the Espaha regiment quartered In Baga, joined
his force. Two columns were formed, one
under his own orders and the other
commanded by Colonel Suances They TOOK
different routes, In order to fall on the plantation
where the rebels were simultaneously from different
points. In two hours the hring was heard IN tue III
rectOn OF the Santa Margarita plantation on the van
and attacked the left wing Of the enemy to compel
hun 70 fan back on the right and thus enable the
General 10 cut OIL retreat. But this was lould I'M
practicable, ana 1t was necessary to attack the
enemy's front. Being also attacked on his Hank ne
could not resist the fire OF our guerillas but
for q few minutes, and then ded, dlsbanded.
We have no words wherewith to express
the ardOr with which the General and h9 guerilla
men conducted Themselves: but 1t was useless for
infantry to go in pursuit of q mOdnted enemy-no
results would have been Obtained thereby. We nave
10 regret the loss Of one man wounded by ball,
fr0nl which he dleu In u few hours T1e loss OF the
enemy cannot be ascertalned with any certainty,
but 1t must have been considerable, rs several
were seen to fall, and much BLOOD was observed IN
rlvulet which Iney HAD ford In tDeir hight. When
the firing ceased the troops retired TO the pantatlon
and after an abundant dinner they marched BACK TO
tins town, where they arrived at SIX L. NJ.
On the 10th General POelO took his battalion TO
San MIgnel to surprise band encamped close by.
The SURPRISE owing to inevitable causes, could not
be consunniated but the troops came up with them
afterwards and caused the enemy loss OF sixteen
men.
Tie troops left to-day for Principe by railway. The
cars are ali iroa-clad.
It is rumored here that the rebel General Peralta
has been imprisoned by order OF Quesada, canse un-
known. 1t has also been stated that tluesada has
gone two OK three times to Nueyas Grandes ON
another expedition, while some say for the purpose
