The faulty of Bazainc mot calling In qucs
ton his patriotism-in permitting himself to
be shut up in Metz With force Of $780, 900 men,
assumes moro astonishing proportions as the
facts come TO light. After the battles OF tho
10th and 18th OF August Bazaine had force
but slightly inferior in numbers to tile conbia-
ed armies Of Prince Frederick Charles and
Steinmetz, and this interiority was more thar
eounterbalanced by the protection tie neigh

KENTUCKY PETuOI.EUaI.

a correspondent. Of ioa,-il'e COM
mercial, writing IRON GLASGOW, Barr n
county, auder date Of December 9Th.
says:
Along Boyd's Creek. in this county, an d
three or four miles from GLASGOW, there are
the hest coal oil wells found in the State Z,
Kentucky. BY boring through the black
slate to tie depth Of $50 to 800 feet coal oil
10 Invariably found. Tbs best wells are
about 200 feet deep. The oil was long
known to flow out In spr:ngs at different
places. but no exploration Was made until
1865, when Messrs. Graham and Thomas,
having leased a wide scope Of country, bor-
ed down and found just as much coal oil as
they desired. Mr.. Grahan lives In
Rockhaven, Mr.. Thomas is = psrtner in ths
Louisville pork house Of Thomss Il Co.,
There are now between thirty aud forty
wells along Boyd's creek, aud each can be
made to yield twenty barrels da, Of crude
petroleum. Some wells have flowed ffty
Ddtlc-o u iot wv VI tuIcc uuu
now have to be pumped. The Kiuchelos
well run thirty barrels day for three years
and then ceased flowing. It Yields abun.
dainty by pumping. There are . number
Of oil we'll companies. Perhaps the strong
est 10 that Of Chess, Corley & Co., who re-
Hne their oil at Louisville. The oil il car
ried from the wells to the railroad depot at
GLASGOW in ten barrel tanks, and 10 there
emptied into car tanks that hold seventy
five barrels, and bring ii direct to Louis
vile.
This Barren county coal oil, properly re-
fined 10 said to possess greater illuminating
power than any other coal oil known. One
well. bored in 1865 OF 1866, yielded 500
barrels day. When prices Of oil fell this
we'll. was temporarily abandoned. 1t is
now worked. bu. does not yield as it did
before the abandonment. When the Kinoh.
eloe well was at a dspsh OF two thuu red
feet without fuding oil, bit used in boriog
was broken in the well and could not be-
90. ont. All thai could be done was to
bore new well aud this was done within o
foot of the old one. When this new we'll
was not within several feet Of being as deep
aa the old we'll. q tine oil spring was struck.
These oil wells will form q source of i'm
mense wealth to Barren county. They will
make money plenty and will aid every form
Of development.

4 dispatch from Kittanniug says:

The trial OF William A. Greenwood. for
the killing Of Alexander Fleming, at Park
era last summer, which has been in pro
gress here before Justice Agnew, OF tie
Supreme Court, tor several days, was ended
yesterday. the jury bringing in verdict of
murder 10 the second degree. Justice Az
ney sentenced the prisoner to undergo i'm
prjsonment in the Western Psnitentiary
for term Of nine years and six months.
Greenwood narrowly escaped banging, foul
OF the jury being iu favor of q verdict o
murder 10 the first degree. Many people
here believe this should have been the re-
suit Of the trial, claiming that there wal
little if uay justification for the crime.
