Oh On Hartford City about 95
miles below this place on the river 10
/ Mason county, will soon be as famous
for its oilas tits now for its salt, accord
ing to present appearances. The Val
ley City Salt Company in which Mr..
Proctor ofthis place is stakeholder. at
depth of about 600 feet, in one Of their
salt wells, on Monday the l4ih inst.
struck oil, which rises spontaneously to
the surface SO copiously that on Saturday
lastit had filed to oyerAawing an ex'A-
walton with capacity Of from eight TO
ten thousand gallons. The excavation
is % feet in depth. 12 feet square at the
bottom rom which the well was star ted
a few months since. As soon as the
Company was organized this and anoth'
er well which has not yet reached the
Gil level, were commenced. 1t is SO
near the one from which the oil IS now
flowing, that it is expected to discharge
oil in equal abundance when the proper
depth is reached, So confident were
the stockholders of obtsining large
supply Of salt water, that when they
commenced boring, they also began the
erection of buildings aud procuring aP-
paratui for the manufacture Of salt on
an extensive scale, AMI for these purpo'
SIS they have Olr.aJy expended large
sums of money. We understand that in
o few days they will decide the question
whether they will save the oil, or neglect
ing it. sink their wells still deeper for
salt water. which they expect to reach
at depth Of 100 feet. We have from
an eye witness the above statements
concerning the quantity of oil, who says
that Hartford City is all alive with ex-
element aud that oil wells in abundance
will soon be commenced 10 that vicinity.

indeed surprising. Nothing Gao prove

GENERAL GRANTS ADMINS
TRATION.

On the fourth Of March next, a new
administration will commence with q
President in harmony with both Houses
of Congress. There will no longer be a
constant Congressional struggle with
the veto power, but there will be a uni.
ted effort to carry out, in good faith,
the reconstruction of the Southern
States ; and the President, in the selec-
ton Of persons to FIJI tho various Offices
in the Government, will appoint those
best qualified by high character and
known ability, to discharge the duties
Of their respective posts.
President Johnson nominatss no one
who is not friendly to him, and IL a Re.
publican, he belongs to = very small
class, not numbering among them many
men Of the first character for ability OF
very decided Republican principles. All
attempts, therefore, to forestsll the Re.
publican President, BY changes and sp-
pointments, should be put a stop to by
the Senate. The a~spirants can wait a
little more than two months, and sub
nit their claims to the coming man

knowledge of the fitness Of men for i'm
porsant posts has been proved, by his
invariabls selection Of the very best
sfioers for the most important com
mands during the great rebellion.

TEE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF ESrxRPRIsISo
CHIcAso.-The Chicago Public Schools
must be managed on the knock down
and drag out" principle. One Of the
teachers has been convicted and fined,
for beating, with his fist, a child OF
eight years, s that the body Of the
little thing carried the bruises for days.
One Of the common modes Of punish
msnt in those schools is for the teacher
to seize a boy or girl and lift the child
from the floor by its ears. Kicking is q
favorite exercise by teacher upon pupil,
and the Of bringing scholars to
the scratch, when punishment is to be
inflicted, is to drag them by the hair.
II some Of these teachers do not catch
"~lickings" when the scholars are grown
up, then forgiveness is a more potent
virtue than we think it is.

SLAVERY IN


Mr.. Julian declares, In q resolution
presented by him to the National House
of Representatives, tina, slavery still
exists in Kentucky, and that persons in
that State, in violation Of the Constitu-
tionsl Amendment, hold negroes in
bondage. The assertion does not seem
unlikely. In the majority Of cases free
dom is exercised by the blacks, but
there are probably instances where
threats and terrorism have been resort
ed to by Kentucky planters in order to
continue the "pstriarehsl institution"
which they love so dearly. Kentucky,
it will be rseollectsd, has always OPP
posed the Emancipation Proclamation,
sand the Thirteenth Amendment" end
insisted that until her ''niggsrs were
paid for, freedom to the slave was in
valid, because it was not according to
the laws of Kentucky" In that State
nothing is held to be superior to the
State laws or the State prejudicss. The
whole country must stoop to Kentucky
sagss, and take its lessons from Ken
tueky wisdom. A Federal law may be
we'll enough for all other States in the
Union, but If Kentucky disssuts It can
have no effect in that ancient and supe-
rior Commonwealth. Kentucky has, in
fact, occupied toward the General Gov
eminent since the commencement and
after the close Of the rebellion, about
the same attitude that South Carolina
did before the attack upon Sumter.
An sgregious sonceit Of the mightiusss,
power and influence of South Carolina
held its reign in the heads of the Pal
mstto Chivalry. An equal self.sufi-
cheney subsists in Kentucky. There 10
= difference, however. Chastissmsnt
and affection have taught South Caro-
lima that there is = power in the land
superior to the great mon Of that State.
Something of the sort might we'll be
taught Kentucky, the inhabitants Of
which act In some respects as il they
believed that JEFF. Davis was still upon
the throne at Richmond.
