Foreign recognition would be easily got, and quickly prove success ful; an army of slaves could easily be raised and rapidly achieve attecesa; the aid and the sword of Maximilian could easily be had, compared with that "one single flash." The Southern soul Is not now in a condition to give out that flash; for the Register tells us that the Southern "people are cowed," their "souls disarmed," their "contain coning out at the ends of their fingers."

Parma who have lately been East tell us that there Is every pnispect of a great index Of oil adventurers Into the Bate In the fixing. Not a few have bought and now bold lands on the strength of this supposition. It la expected that almost every eligible spot will be gobbled up at a big price by those coming. The 01l fever is a wonderful malady Just at present. Apparently therein no abatement of It. It makes no odds that regular trade Is stagnant. Ths oil business is not looked upon as played out, arid there are plenty of greenbacks itching for inyestmeitt In speculative chances. every now and then a new well is struck, and the fact is blazoned among , the petroleum items in the Eastern papers, where. upon o fresh furore arises for 01l lands. • Boring will be prosecuted extensively as soon as the weather opens, and More :wens will probably go down within m year than in all the years since the excitementtommented.—Whoding /id.. Tow Bum Visient.—Blght months ago the little beat Vision, with he crew of one man and a dog, left New York harbor for Europa. ! The little, frail yawl, with two mlnintare masts( and a locker provided' with provisions imillelent to feed the two adventurers. seemed to laugh at the , ,power of old Neptune as the tiny craft' down the harbor. Eight months have elapsed, and the brig has never reached port or shore. The Vision was spoken once when she had bean 'a week out, but after that her Intory la un known. The Waves of the MC/171301i and roar, and the co - ervioundlng surges sing over the burled galleons and hidden treasure, the blue seas Con ceal, and the fate of the little Vision and her mad captain lies with the mysteries of the deep.

Feor era WRONG Insa.—A gentleman was passing along Male street, Ifeinphis, when ho woo ruslyd upon by another man and shot in the right busht i .the bill finding lodgment his body. Just after .tiring. the man who did the rash deed discovered that he had shot the wrong person. He, of course, immediately apologized for his mistake, but an apology would neither etarmeh the bleed nor relieve the pain caused by the wound, and was, therefore, a waste of thne. Not much satisfaction an apology, to a man who has been • shot. The individual with the mania for Shooting at random proceeded to explaln his reagens for wishing to take the lifo—not of the rotinlie had wounded, but another man; and ap pealed to the sufferer by his mistake, whether, under the circumstances, he could be blamed. A PRIVA.II: letter from Savannah reiterates therctorts of the bogus loyalty of the people of that city which have from the e tolime been published.' The writer does not believe there are twenty respectable whites In the whole place, whd are really for the Union. None of the white Ministers pray for the Praldent, .but the hie* onessupplicate heartily for him and tho Govern. meat. A Presbyterian prayed thus on a recent Sunday : "For all Presidents, thin their minds might be Illuminated to See the rizht and follow It and eschew the wrimg, ,, which was Just as much for Jeff Davis as for A. Lincoln. The Epis copal ministers omit the prayer for the President entirely. If these people were loyal,lliey would not permit such prayers, and the ministers know they are pleased with such snyphcationa.
