UIRefml Rebel Archives.

The use of the Rebel archives, for the
search of which the House refused to make
an adequate appropriation, is illustrated by
a recent instance. A man by the name of
DeHayen made claim for the loss of vessel
destroyed by the United States, fixing the
amoant at Csc, 1000. The claim was before
a committee of the Senate, and was quite
fayorably considered on the papers pre-
sented. The claimant among other acts
had made oath to his loyalty during the
war. It happened that the case was
searched out in the archives, and it was dis
covered that DeHsven had sold his vessel to
the Confederate Government, and his sigma
ture, proved to be bis own by comparison
with his present writing, was discovered
upon the vouchers for the payment. More
over, he had received pay for the use Of the
vessel as freight boat. These records be '
ing called to the attention Of the committee,
MI. DeHaven may as well disappear as
claimant. In this one case alone few min
utes' work among the rebel records saved
the Government more than eight times tht
amount appropriated last year for the search

ALIVELY CORPSE.

Adventures Of q Chinese Scspegrsce.
The celestial Empire" (shannhai) tells
the following story:
There was youth of Szechuan whose ir-
regularities gave great anxiety to his father.
The lad was intended for the army, and mad
already attained the rank Of military "siu-
tsai." At length, however, his prospects,
were quite ruined by his misbehavior, ana
hts father showed him the door, saying ne
would have no more of go degenerate q son.
The youth cared not whit, but wandered
along until he reached Soochow, where ne
plunged hesdlOng into all the dissipatlons
with which the city abounds. Having ex-
hausted Soochow, he went to Wuchang,
where he ran the pace pretty rapidly ana
eventually with such success that Manda-
rim, in whose district he had been commit
ing some escapade of unusual extravaganza,
thought IL proper to give him severe les
son. At first be ordered the scapegrace to
be bambooed; but that gentleman, with an
impudent expression, dared him to lay nm
ger upon him, as he was of military rank.
livery we'll, then, rejoined the mandarin,
coolly, eff can't whip you can lock you
up;" and locked up he was accordingly,
and remained so for the best part OF a
year. At length the youth got desperate.
None of his friends seemed to care one jot
where he was or what was bis fate no help
arrived, and so he determined, If possible,
to help himself. He therefore abstained
from food for some time, and one morning
was found lying on the floor, and stark, and
rigid. The mandarin on hearing of his death
was rather annoyed, but thought the best
thing he could do was to send out for cof.
fin and bury him, which he ordered to be
done. Meanwhile the body was carried out
side the yamen and laid carefully IN an open
place, pending the arrival of the coffin
Next day, however, when the time for burial
came, everything had disappeared, with the
exception of the corpse's boots.

QUE IMMENsE OIL TRADE.

An immense project is on foot in the oil
regions of Pennsylvania. The project is
the construction of a pipe line from the oil
regions to the seaboard. Nearly all the
pipe line companies are cooperating in the
enterprise. The location Of the proposes
line will be to ascend rapidly from the Al
Ieghany River and follow the table lands
along the water sheds of the country few
miles of Indiana in Indiana county, and
strike the Ebensburg branch Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad in Cambria county.
The question Of the line Of route from
that point to the seaboard has not been
entertained. An engineer appointed for
the purpose, has made an estimate that a
four inch pipe three hundred miles long
would cost $4,000; a five inch line
81, $4,000, and six inch line 81 1856, ,O00
The company has charter from Pennsyl'
vania giving it the exclusive right to lay
a pipe any where within the State, and
have also obtained a charter from the
State Of Maryland giving the same privi.
lege.
The month of July last was the most
active in the oil trade ever known. During
that month seventy-six wells were drilled
in Butler county; sixty in Clarion thirty
four in Mexican; fourteen in Venango
and twelve in Warren county, total o
one hundred and ninety-six, the aggregate
daily production Of which was two thous
and seven hundred and eighty three bar
rels. The fetal taken from the producin,
oil region during the month amounted Il
the enormous amount of one millien tw'
hundred and seventy-six thousand 81,
hundred and eighty-six barrels.
Since the above was written we learl
that the line will be continued from Cres
son, Gambia county, to Nevrille, Cumber
land county, from which point the question
of route has not been ascertained.

A letter 10 the Cologne gazette from
Bormio (Lombafdy) }, JQly Y says:
The Vienna advocate, DR.. Sigismund Fes-
sler, made this morning the ascent OF the
Stelvio Pass from Eyers over Spordinig and
Trafoi. An hour above Trsfot, and at q
height of about 6,7O0 feet, ct the place
where the Ortler, Stelvio and Madatsch-
Ferner form that fearful, impossible ravine
! in which the Adige has its source by the
three sacred springs, DR.. Fessler perceived
on the slope of the raviue blue veil stained
with blood. The Vienna tourist was mot
little Mortified when he noticed that the
traces of blood led down into the depth OF
I the ravine. He suspected an accident or
crime, and although the descent into the
bottom of the rayine was not free from
danger, with the aid of two passing pea
SAINTS he let himself down into 1t, and there
he found the body of young woman about
twenty-four years of age, elegantly dressed,
dead, with three gaping wounds on the
head. The wounds appeared to have been
made with sharp instrument. The body
was living at the bottom with the head
downwards. All the circumstances indi-
Gated crime. and In particular the broken
handle of sun umbrella found by thedead
body, showed the struggle in defense that
had taken place. DIR. Fessler left the two
peasants to watch over the. corpse, and
crept back up the ravine on all fours, and
soon after the district Magistrate OF Glurus
appeared on the spot and made an exami-
nation. The report Of the crime spread
like wildAre through the neig ghboring ham
let's, and thus it came about that its perpe-
traitor was soon in the hands of justice. he
is an American who lived in Spordinig with
his wife-the murdered lady-and maid
servant. Yesterday he went with his wife
to Trafoi and came back with the report
that she had fallen on the road and had
suffered bodily injuries. The improbability
of fthis statement aud his lack of interests
In the fate of his wife increased the suspi-
ciops, Soldiers were ordered from Com
agoi, and the American, whose true name
has not thus far been revealed, was handed
over to the police court of Glurus. The
maid has also Oeen taken into custody.
