In fulfllment Of
my promise will give you a brief
statement of the coil question" as con-
nected with Rockdale in this county
Oil was FIST noticed about 20 years
ago, when digging water well, but
as they knew nothing about it at that
time, they considered and called it
"dirty, sinking stuff" and as it made
everything that came in contact with
it very offensive, and as it was If no
value as water we'll, it was filed up
and the subject passed from their
minds. Near to the spot where the
water we'll was put down, is a small
turf or peat bog in which a horse got
mired about ten years ago, and in
working to get it out, oil was for the
first time noticed in that place, but as
the people Of that section thought Of
but little except the getting of timber
and the working of their farms, no
attention was paid to it. Lately,
however, another and very different
class of persons, viz, practical oil
producers-have been examining the
subject, the result of which is that two
thousand acres have been purchased
or leased in very quiet way, and Mr.
Ira Fuller, well.known, practical
and successful operator, who controls
about one thousand acres, has one well
going down, which at this time has
reached depth of about two hundred
feet, with everything going on salts
factorily.
Mr.. Meyer, another successful and
practical operator, has leased several
hundred acres ard is expected tc
commence operations in a few days
Other parties have also leased large
quantities Of land, but am unable tc
state the time when they are expected
to commence operations.
There are other points in this county
where drilling for oil is going on, and
the prospects are that before long i
will be fully tested As an oil territory
and, as far as l have been able to learr
during my short visit to this place
with very favorable prospects.

The following from the Kane Blade
will doubtless be of interest to many
of our readers, in that it shows
that Developments are tending
toward this county from the Bradford
field:
The operations recently commenced
upon Hunt q Cleminger's we'll in
Highland township, to drill to a
greater depth, originated in belief
that the third sand, which was not
found at depth of 2,1OO feet, was
still to be had, upon further search
The theory of the position of the oil
sand in and about Kane is substan-
TALLY, that upon leaving the Bradford
field and proceeding in southeastern "
direction, the l-beur;ng rock dips

A SPECIAL to the Commercial.
Gazette from Washington says: Gen
eral Hendrick B. Wright is much dis.
gusted with the treatment which he
received at the hands of the Greenback
Convention. He had been led to
suppose by his friends that he would
have a place on the Greenback ticket,
either as President or Vice President,
and in anticipation of that honor the
General was in frequent communica.
tion with the convention at Chicago.
Finding his name omitted from the
ticket, he consoles himself by asserting
that the convention did not amount to
much anyhow, and that the Greeuback
movement is played out. With these
philosophical reflections the represen-
tative returns to his old political faith
and companiOnship.

THE Boston Herald, an independ-
ent paper, if there ever was one, has
this to say of General Garfield; "On
the whole, we presume that our Dem
ocraIic contemporaries, who feel
obliged to throw mud on Garfield,
believe he is an honest man. We
certainly have no party prejudices in
his favor, but we consider him one oi
the NEST honest, liberal and patriotic
men in Congress, representing in the
Republican party what Bayard repre-
sents in the Democratic, and in every
way worthy ofrespect and confidence
1.-THE Democrats will nominate a can
didats equally good, We shall be
pleased to give them credit for it, and
we hail not worry over the result"

glance Of the war for the Union, and hold
up for the execralion Of mankind tue bar
barous spirit Of the people who murdered
Lincoln; and then with contrite heart,
willing to be forgiven, took charge of the
flag and Government lie left and now hold
them in trust for you.

But we must bury our thoughts of that in
the same grave where the Republic buried
It's mem0ry OF and gratitude for n host Of
glorious men who died like Lincoln, or live
unknown like yourself. The history Of the
war is an open secret which no one wishes
TO hear and all wish 10 disbelieve; but you
and hear il and believe it, and we will
remember it too.
The book will form a chapter in the his
tory Of our regiment which we will all be
proud Of for we wish to shnre in the hon

would prefer to die than see their flag go
down.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WAsHINGToN. D c., May 7, 1880.
There was n remarkable scene in the Sen
ate yesterday. Wade Hampton made
speech against the unseating of Senator
Kellogg, and dealt with his Democratic
friend Hill very severely. To Hill's insin-
uations that those who among the Demo-
Gratis opposed his scheme were towards,
Hampton replied that he had fought side
by side with many others who stood by the
Confederacy, and they thought they might
be as brave as those Who were at the same
time seeking safety at n distance from the
scene OF war. Hill and the Gre-caterS are
feeling badly, almost as badly as when they
are assailed by Blaine, who has been their
only terror heretofore. The opposition Of
Wade Hampton is n remarkable sign Of
progress, and Republicans may congrntu-
late themselves that they have accom-
plished great work OF reformation. Sen.
ator Kellogg will be nndisturbed, Rnd the
Senate next year will probably have Re
publican majority.
There is great stir in the sporting world
OF Washington. Next week will witness n
notable boat race on the Potomac between
Hanlan and Courtney and possibly Riley
also will take hand to give greater inter-
est to the occasion. As this is an inter-
national affair, and has been long talked
OF, extensive preparations are beng made
to accommodate the immense throng ex-
pected to witness it. Then there will be
a remarkable series OF horse races at the
national fair grounds, already many world
famed horses are on the grounds in train
ing. Altogether next week will be import
ant in spor:s as well as in politics.
The political events which attract most
attention here are the Conventions next
week which are to decide the complexion
of the Chicago National Convention. Last
week and this week Mr.. Blaine carried of
the honors and the delegates largely. All
eyes are on Illinoia, and the Republicans
are praying that the State Convention there
will be peaceable, united body, whoever
may win. General Grant, Mr.. Washburne
and Senator Elaine all appear to have Sc
cured son:e districts, and consequently will
be Represented by delegates in the National
Convention If the State Convention acts ia
harmony with the usages OF the party.
The Ways and Means Committee hay,
agreed TO report n resolution in favor o.
adjournment on the 3lst. Should this bt
adopted of course it will shut out all gen
eral legislation. But all the necessar,
business can be transacted previous 10 tina
time. LEO.
