Flrslnla's OIL resources ana productive
ness. If these facts be properly con-
sidered, we think our citizens will form
a higher estimate of the value of West
Virginia oil territory than they now
hold. While the attention of foreign
capitalists is being directed to our
natural wealth in this regard, we think
it bad policy for our own people to re
gard their oil deposits as of little value.
But if the monied men in our own State
are unwilling to embark in projects for
utilizing the natural wealth which has
been placed under their control, it is
certainly the interest OF the State to
encourage money and enterprize from
other States to come into our midst and
develop our territory. Viewing this
question from pecuniary standpoint,
without reference to political questions
or complications, we submit that this
end can best be attained by liberal
izing our State policy and inducing the
wealth and energy of other sections to
find field of operations among us. We
want such policy as will assure the
people of the East and North that we
are not warning with each other. So
long as we continue our proscrip3Ee
system we proclaim to them shat a large
portion of our fellow citizens are utterly
lawless and therefore unfit to be trusted
with political privileges. 1t is useless
to expect monied men from abroad to
settle among people who are afraid to
trust one another. Let US establish a
confidence in our social character SINH
lar to that felt with regard to our ma
teral resources, by wiping away every
vestige of prescription that now finds a
place upon our statute books.
We annex the letter referred to:

Probably this place is better known
to many of your readers as White Oak,
the district that has given to the world
the we'll known lubricating oil which
bears its name. This "neck of the
woods" is evidently looking up. Light
oil has now the whole attention of the
operators in this flid. Lubricating
oil is, to use common term, "played

duced. Yet there are in tank about
thirty thousand barrels, the greater
part of which has been in tank
for nearly two years. BY the by,
speaking of lubricating oil, some two
years since Pittsburgh gentleman pur-
chased from a well known firm in Par
kersburg four thousand barrels of this
then drug on the market" A few
DAYS since your fellow citizen sold this
same oil to the same firm in Parkersburg,
by which he pocketed as clean profit
thirty thousand dollars. This will do
for a little quiet transaction this hot
weather; may your fellow -citizeR's
"shadow never grow less" All the old
lubricating wells are being put into
shape for going down for light oil.
There are q number that l can see from
where sit that have bored deeper with
excellent results. The last well belongs
to a gentleman in Washington city; its
yield the last twenty-tour hours amount

The following is a very nearly correct
list of the producing wells:

one was made. Mr.. Spaid, the son of
the man who was the lowest bidder for

From the Nashville Union and American.

From the Nashville Union and Americana
We ware convetsihg yesterday with q
citizen of the White creek valley, who
furnishes US with the latest intelligence
from the seat Of war. On Wednesday
evening last, one Of the neighbors of our
Informant crossed the river at .Hyde's
ferry Just after dark. 10 following the
road aro.sd Qunnavan's bill, be heard
the scream of the panther, and located
the monster at not more than oue hun
bred yards distant. he proceeded along
the road cautiously, aud again be
heard the shrek just before him, prob
ably not over thirty yards ahead. To
say that he was frightened does not
half express bis feelings, as he described
them to be at the time. He seized bis
pistol, which be held in one hand, and
the other be used in slashing bis mule
with the buggy lines. Fortunately for
the indivisual, whose hair at that par
ticulsr time was standing on end like
quilts upon the fretlul poroupine, q
grszing cew in the nsighborhood had
appeased the appetite Of the panther,
and when be heard the rafting of the
buggy wheels, be departed 10 peace,
leaving behind him the ribs and head OF
the COW. The gentleman then took oc-
cssion to make for home, which be
reached in safety, but looking all the
worse from fright ANS
After eating supper, the gentleman
who had such q narrow escape, sent out
and procured four packs Of hounds, and
in compsuy with eight other persons in
the neighborbood, all armed to the teeth,
started out to capture the monster. They
put the dogs on the track, and ran il
around to the northwest corner Of Dun
navsn's knob, and the hounds, either
afraid or attracted 20 something else,
pursued it no farther.
Oar informant says the screams Of this
panther can be heard for miles, and 90
piercing as TO make the stoutest heart
shudder. he thinks If the nimal remains
in that little neck Of woods, they will have
