FRIDA*, MARCH 24,-1865.
The End Coming,
Davis is certainly the genius of the re
bellion. He has kept it alive and managed
its resources with energy and'audaeity.
It - seems, however, that his own works are
rising up against him. The men whom
Tie has thus far championed and marshal
led are venting upon him the wrath of de
spair. The rebel correspondent of the
London Times alludes to “ a mingled feel
ing of indignation and dismay against
President Davis and the Administration at
Bichmand.” Furthermore, according to
this writer, the rebel chief is not even
aware of the intensity of this dislike.
There is not, he says, “ a right comprehen
sion of the sentiment which prevails in
■South Carolina and Georgia, and to a less
degree in North Carolina, Alabama, and
Mississippi, and which is mildly de
scribed when I call it disaffection to
Mr. Davis and his Administration.”
Then comes another most interesting
admission. “It is impossible to be blind,”
says the writer, “to the fact that the back
bone of these Southern States has always
been weaker than that of noble old Virginia,
and that much of the querulousness which
abounds in Charleston springs from the in-
ferior persistency of these semi-tropical
States ." We are also assured that’ “ the in
dications are so many and so irresistible
that slavery is looked upon as doomed."
They abandon the question of slavery. We
- UO Tonga*—tho~ u OTrucr-aLUIIC T 1 of
the new Kepublic; “ the South is fighting
for self-government,” and not for the dear
and peculiar institution. These admissions
come from one of the most accomplished
Writers in the interest of the South. In
addition, he also sets forth what was per
haps the real dream of conse'rvative rebels
like Mr. Stephens when he came to For
tress Monroe. It shows that there is a large
party of the South opposed to Davis and
anxious to*return to the Union if good
terms can in any way be made :
“It is doubtful to me at this moment whether
another large battle will ever be fought. If ever such
» battle is fought, It will Inevitably lead to the
arming and emancipation by Southerners of the
negro; and if (as Is everywhere here asserted) a
spirit of unconquerable resistance continues to be
displayed by whites and blacks alike, it is hard to
know upon what grounds the Federal sympathizers
Of England will then base their sympathy, it is
easy to foresee that if terms are now entered upon
between the two sections, the Southerners, in ex
change for independence, will probably enter into an
offensive and defensive alliance with tue North
erners, Icill possibly consent to an uniformity of
tariff ovir the whole area of the old United States,
will perhaps agree to assist in enforcing the Monroe
doctrine when called upon by the North, and will
adopt gome articles In the new-born treaty which
will rather startle England and these English ad
mirers and advocates whom Messrs. Seward,
Adams, and Sumner know so well how to manipu
late. At any rate, it seems probable that the
events of the next few months will be such as will be
felt throughout the whole civilised world for the neat
century, for they will determine in what shape one
of the most powerful nations on earth is to meet the
future; whether North Amerloa is still to be an
unit In its antagonism to Europe, and whether the
season of restlessness and bloodshed which was
inaugurated by the war between Western Europe
and Snssla is to continue until the end of this
oentury, and until Jeremy Bentham’s theory
that war is the natural condition of mankind Is ac
cepted without demur or contradiction throughout
the civilized globe.”
Of course, the allusions of this writer
were to the Blair peace mission, and the
subsequent overtures of Davis. We see
■that the rebelß are anxious to creep out of
this contest, if the smallest possible hole is
left. It is possible that ail these suggestions
of tariffs and alliances were the mere sub
terfuges of a dismayed conspirator. He
had reason for this desire. The elements
of dissatisfaction among the people of the
South were not confined to a few unwilling
consoripts or “tones.” Mr.. Foote was
not the only impatient and unruly member
of the rebel Congress. Those 11 representa
tives” and “senators” who sign the pro
test elsewhere reprinted went into the re
bellion very willingly when there was a
■chance of its success; hut slavery has gone,
their States are held by opposing armies,
their homes are destroyed, and no hope of
.triumph remains. The ship is sinking and
they fly from it. What was the rebellion is
rapidly becoming disintegrated. The policy
©four rulers is ripening into a hundred fold.
Our armies and navies have broken down
the rebel resources. Our good manage
ment has ruined their finances. Our dir
plomacy has prevented the nations of the
world from interfering. The very kind
ness of our Government and people is
doing good., Every Southern prisoner re
turns to his home a propagandist. He
■carries to his hoine and friends the testi
mony of kindness and magnanimity. On
one side crushing power; on the other
mercy and kindness. What shall our next
Step be?. A great battle will end this eonr
test; wise statesmanship may do it with
out a battle. While we thank God for
these abundani evidences of prosperity and
triumph, let us pray that He may so guide
them that peace may come as effectively
as possible.
Kichabd Cobden, whose friextdship-has
almost made usforget the enmity of other
.Englishmen, recently addressed a letter to
Hon. B R. Wood, our minister at Copen
hagen, in which he stated a theory which
events are now confirming:
“ It seems to me that there are unmistakable signs
of exhaustion In the' Confederacy, and It would not
be rash to predict now that the famous ‘ninety
■days’ will witness very deoldve events to the pro
pressor the war. Jeff Davis roles In Richmond,
but the Federal armies control his dominions. I
hold a theory that in these times, when armies re
quire vast appliances of mechanical resources, and
■when they are so muchr larger than In olden days,
‘lt is Impossible to carry on war without tho base of
large cities. If the seaports be taken and Lee be
-obliged to evacuate Richmond, there will not he a
town left in the Oonfederaoy with twenty thousand
white inhabitants. It will bo Impossible to main
tain permanently largo armleß In the Interior of tho
slave St&teß, amid scattered plantations and un
paved villages. You cannot, in such olrcnmstancas,
-concentrate the means of subsistence or furnish tho
neoessary equipment for an army. I expect, there*
Jore, to, see the loss of the targe towns lead to a disper
sion of the Southern armies."
Prom the fear of this result Lee did not
■long ago attempt to evacuate Richmond.
The stand made by the rebels at that city
has been partly enforced and partly volun
tary, but there can be no question that the
.enemy has held his capital only by sacri
ficing State after State.
The person called Maximilian, “Em
peror of Mexico,” is in trouble. Napo
leon has placed him on the imperial bed
hut the literary French Emperor cannot
make it a bed of roses. It seems that the
Austrian duke has been compelled to carry
out virtually the same policy as the repub
lican Juarez, and, although the creature
nnd creation of the Church party, he has
already declared against their policy. The
result 1b that his Holiness has written Maxi
milian an admonitory letter, and there Is a
very pretty quarrel as it stands.
General . Banks has returned to his com
mand in Louisiana, invested, we are in
formed, with the most abundant powers by
the President. The valley of the Missis
sippi is a great field for the statesman and
the warrior, and Ware, therefore, glad to
see him back again in his important station.
The Emperor of France escapes from
his attention to Cassar to regulate the
telegraphic communication between the
nations of the Continent. What is called
* Telegraphic Congress is now in session at
Paris, to fix a general basis for telegraph
ing, and good results will be accomplished.
Ws may now assume that the pretty
Story of Qwin becoming Duke of Sonora
under the protectorate of Napoleon is uu
truo. The official Mexican journals deny
it, and state that the new Emperor will
“maintain the dignity of his empire,” and
mate no such concessions. Gwm did go
to Mexico in the hope of accomplishing
some adyenture, but he has failed and re
lumed to Paris.
,The tremendous loss occasioned by the
jecent spring freshets suggests that ourciti
zens in exposed positions, and particularly
in the- region of the Susquehanna, should
JmiM dykes to protect themselves.
LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL."
Washington, March 28,1865.-
When I reached herei last evening, I
found the town full of rumors on the Peace
Question. Although nothing definite
seems to have been effected, it was not dif
ficult to perceive that the Government was
well satisfied with the military situation,
and ready to prove to the people of
the South that, .while nothing can
defeat the irresistible progress of our
armies, so nothing shall be permitted to
stand in the way of peace on the basis of
Mr.. Lincoln’s repeated proffers to the
people of the seceded sections. Proba
bly the best, -as it is the latest,
manifestation (excepting the inaugural, in
which there was a general repetition of the
same idea), is that contained in the follo w
ing letter of the President, instructing Mr.
Seward how, to proceed in his conversation
with the rebel Commissioners:
... Exboutivb Mansion,
»’ Washington, January 81,1866.
Hon. IVm. B. Seward, Secretary of State:
You&wlll proceed to Fortress Monroe, Virginia,
thereto meet and Informally confer with Messrs.
Stephens, Hunter, and Campbell on the basis of my
letter to F. P. Blair, Esq ,of January 18,1865, a
copy of which yon have.
Ton will make known to them that three things,
are Indispensable, to wit .-
1. The restoration of the national authority
throughout all the. States.
2. .No receding by the Executive of the -United
States, on the slavery question, from the position
assumed ther eon In the late annual message to Con
gress, and in preceding documents.
S. No cessation of hostUities short of an ehd of the
war and the disbanding of aU forces hostile to the
Government.
You will Inform them that aU propositions of
theirs not Inconslstent’ wlth the above will he con
slderefl and passed upon in a spirit of sincere llbe
railty. - ..■ , __

Von will not assume to definitely consummate
anything. Yours, &0.,
AbHAHAH XiIHOOIiN.
A true copy':
John G. Niooiax, Private Secretary.
Maroh 23,1865.
This letter was written by the President,
and was not altered or amended, but taken
in the original by ’Mr. Seward as the
chart by which he was guided in his con
ference with Stephens, Hunter, and Camp
bell, and was steadily kept in view by Mr.
Lincoln when he was present at the
same meeting. He stands by it to-day.
What is there in the tone or the terms of
this letter to which any fair and patriotic
Southern citizen can object ? It is not to
be supposed that the leaders and authors
of.the rebellion will accept them; but
the people will see in them safety, protec
tion, forgiveness, and equality. The point
in this letter is where the President states
“ that all propositions not inconsistent with
the above will be considered and passed upon
in a spirit of sincere liberality." Let. who
will ponder on this language, and he can
not fail to see exactly what the President
means. Occasional.
A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Charleston, says that Fort
Fisher fell because “ its garrison was inex
perienced, incoherent, and loosely coupled,
and finally, because in 1865
do not fight with the vigor and-'elan of 1862
and 1868." In other words, this rebel
sympathizer admits that the Southern sol
diers are tired of the war and anxious to get
home.
We see, from day to day, increasing
evidences of negro civilization. The co
lored man is becoming as much a diplomat
in his own way as his blue-eyed Saxon
brother. We‘see that the Governments of
Liberia and Hay ti have been signing treaties
of amity and commerce. Among other
things, they condemn the slave trade as
piracy. '
It is said that Sherman has captured
enough cotton, turpentine, pitch, and rosin
to pay the expenses of hisfcampaign.

Washington, March 23.
the president’s excursion.
The Republican gays: President Lincobk, Mrs.
Lincoln, Master Thaddbus Lincoln, and a
few invited geests, left Sixth-street wharf this af
ternoon, in the Government steamer River Queen,
for an excursion over the river and through Chesa
peake hay. They will visit Fortress Monroe and'
Norfolk, and will go np Tames river to City Point.
The excursion is taken now under advice, mainly
for the health and recreation of the President. His
health Remands this relief from the cares and per
plexities of public duties.
THE PASSPORT SYSTEM,
The Secretary of State publishes, for the Informa
tion and guldanoe of officers of the customs, the
order dated March 8 rescinding so much of the one
Issued in December last as required passports from
persons entering this country from Canada, and so
-much of the circular of the Treasury Department
dated December 30,1864, as relates to the same sub
ject is rescinded, in order that the aotion of the de
partments may harmonize. The tirenlar of the
Treasury concludes as follows, agreeing also to sug
gestions of the Secretary of State on the 13th Inst.:
Collectors of customs, on arrival from any foreign
country of passengers other than Immigrants desti
tute of passports, to refuse them permission to land
either their persons or their baggage until notice
shall have been' given to the military authorities of
tho United States within the district, who will dis
pose of the passengers and their baggage under In
structions from the War Department.
MOBILE.

and army below.”
THE OCCUPATION-OF GOLDSBORO.
The Star says that the mail boat to-day brought
up five discharged soldiers, who left Wilmington
on Monday morning, on a steamer for Fortress
Monroe. At. Wilmington It was reported, and
generally believed, that a portion of Gen. Shbu
mah’b army had entered Goldsboro without any
resistance, and that Gen. Shbbman himself had
entered the town oh Sunday afternoon.
A GALE.
There was a continuous high wind during Several
hoars this afternoon, which did much damage. A
roof was torn off of ashot-fonndry on Seventh sttoet,
near the wharf, and having been hnrled Into the
carriageway with great force, crushed the horses
and colored driver of a hack passing at the time.
One horse was Instantly killed, and the man is In
a dying condition. Other casualties are reported.
The gale struok the shipping with tremendous
power. A schooner was capsized near Sixth-street
wharf, and the orew submerged. It is feared that
seme were lost, as at last aocoumts they had not all
been recovered. Treeß were uprooted and houses
unroofed In various parts of the olty.
ADMIRAL DALGHKEN.
On inquiry at the Navy Department It is ascer
tained that there is ho truth In the published report
that Admiral Dalghbbn has asked to be relieved
from the command of the South Atlantic Squadron
and will be succeeded by Cojnmodore Gordon.
RE-APPOINTMENTS.
The President has recently renewed the oommls
slons of a large number of postmasters, Including
those at Pittsburg, Pa., and Poughkeepsie, Albany,
and Auburn, New York. Charlbs R. Bratton

A General Attack Expected from the Enemy,

CSpeeial Correspondence of The Press. ]
City Point, Va., March 22,1865.
As yet there has been no movement by any pop
tion of this army, although all is In readiness for
snob an event. Everything Is quiet on the lines,
this morning. Last night, however, there was
pretty heavy cannonading on the right, somewhere
in the vicinity of the Appomattox, the dashes of the
guns, reflected in the sky, being distinctly visible
from this point. A general engagement between
the two armies may at any moment he pre
cipitated,- and upon both sides the greatest
vigilance Is being used to prevent any
thing like -surprise. It is anticipated almost
dally that the rebels will make an assault
npon some particular point in our line of defences,
and endeavor to break through. Though there is
scarcely an earthly possibility that such a venture
could be successful, even temporarily, it seems to be
the only alternative left toJ.ee, unless he is content
to abandon his. present position. And this he
„doeß not . seem to contemplate for a mo
ment. : The rumors of the evacuation of Peters
burg, though pleasing enough to tho ear, have yet
assumed no tangible shape; and that portion of the
rebel line where It Is anticipated that our attack
will be delivered has been strengthened with earth
works, to assault whloh openly would bo costly.
Conjecture is at fault to determine how the situ
ation here will develop Itself with .the opening cam
paign ; but that It will be largely, lr not wholly,
shaped by the operations of the armies In North Ca
rolina Is not to be questioned.
Information from Petersburg of a reliable nature,
derived from deserters and other sources, is to tho
effect that the proclamation of Jefferson Davis en
rolling the negroes of the Confederacy for military
duty has created much consternation among those
concerned, particularly in Richmond and Peters
burg. Many hundreds of negroes have endeavored
to escape from these, titles with their families, and
many have succeeded. A guard, however, has bßen
posted so as to prevent all egress from Petersburg
on the southwest and west, so that the exodus is
cheeked in that direction.
Notwithstanding the many rumors concerning
Fort Hell, it has not been blown np by the enemy,
bnt still stands where It always stood. The garri
son has for the most part been withdrawn, for pru
dental reasons; bnt as the position Is commanded
perfectly by our adjaoent forts on the right
mid lelt, which could concentrate a tremen
dous Are, Its abandonment intu-ea nothing to
the advantage of the enemy. Doubtless It has
been undermined; hut the rebels will hardly
waste the powder now necessary to blow It np, as
they are aware that we have knowledge of what
they have been about, and are not to be taken by
surprise.
The weather has been Intensely warm, reminding
us of a Northern July, There was a heavy shower
last evening, bnt the roads will be all right In a day
or two.

. Bermuda Hundred, March 22,1865.
The apprehended hut not dreaded realities which
will soon cloud the air with smoke, and crimson the
soil of Virginia with the mingled .blood of patriots
and traitors, Is momentarily approximating to a
oriels.. It can no longer be regarded as contraband
to assure tbe loyal and anxious minds of the country
that the past winter has been spent In the most
thorough preparation for a vigorous spring cam
paign ; that the soldiers are cheerfully consolous of
the hope whloh solicitude cherishes; that movable
Columns are. ready to attack, or lend support,
should our lints be assaulted, at a moment’s notice;
and that among all the troops the most perfect con
fidence exists as to the speedy termination of the
rebellion, through the terrible combinations whloh
will shortly manifest themselves In the maturity of
their development. Thb scenes which will soon be
enacted here would, if It wore not for our civiliza
tion, which shudders at misery and sickens at the
necessary sacrifices upon the country’s alcar, be re
garded, In tbe martial array of concentration ;
In tbe full equipments and appliances which science
has developed to the art of war ; to the measured'
tramp of armies; to the clash of steel, and to the
victorious shoots of- a triumphant army, as attain
ing a standard of sublimity unequalled to resources
and power; Not even the groans of the dying can
altogether shade the glory of the living, though it
haß peen achieved through fields of blood and car
nage. A spectacle will soon be presented to the
nation whloh, to the grandeur of Its success, will lift
the'loyal hearts and eyes from the graves and hospi
tals to the fullest admiration of Lieut. Gen. Grant
and his victorious army. Let these assurances suffice
until the country Is electrified with the official an
nouncement of what Is here foreshadowed.
Furtyughed officers and soldiers are now return
ing to great numbers dally to their regiments.
They oome back cheered and retovlgorated by the
Influences of home, and especially with the blessings
of tbe valiant borne guard. Their own pleasant
countenances, smiling with cherished recollections,
united with the tokens of affection and friendship
from loved ones at home to those who have been
obliged' to remain with their commands, have
changed their countenances, which had been elonga
ted by disappointment, to a degree of liveliness
which eonld only have been effected bysuah sub
stantial assuronoes.. Soldiers are generally solicitous
to visit their homes, but they are equally as anxious
to return to their regiments. There is a charm
about the service, with all of Us dangers, whloh
allures the patilot to embrace-it regardless of Its
consequents. In a spirit of renewed devotion, and
sacrifice, If necessary, these light-hearted heroes are
stepping into their places With alacrity, to be ready
for the long-looked for word whloh shall thrill the
grand Army of the James—Forward!

them abundant opportunity of becoming acquainted
wUh the position of the enemy’s forces. Sheridan
was then, If not nearer no w, within thirty-five miles of

no wonder that the camps along this line are en

_ The Earl of Derby, leader of the Tory party la
the English Honse of Lords, and the most accom
plished debater of the day, Has lately Issued a blank
yerso translation of the Hlad, which some orltloa
pronounce to he the best ever produced. Lord
Derby has always been known as a classical
scholar, but hitherto he has not had a reputa
tion for great literary excellence, i The transla
tion of the Dlad will place him In the first rank
of the expounders of Homer, and It Is hardly
too much to say that he will hereafter be
found on the shelf with Pope and Cowper, as well
as on the page of history side by side with Feel and
Grey. The Review, a periodical whioh
has always been hostile to Lord Derby as a states- :
man, accords, In its last number, great merit to this
production. The heir of the Stanleys seeks, and
will obtain, a nobler renown than military prowess,:
or even than suceessrui statecraft, In producing, by,
the present work, a better appreciation of the lm-'
mortal epic of the father of poetry.

The bill allowing certain raUrosd companies in this
State to consolidate .their 'mortgages came bp, and a
lengthy discnssion took piace.
Mr. HOPKINS said the bill was substantially the
same as thacisid over yesterday. There wa* nothin*
wrong it the bill, but allegations were made that out
side meeus had been used to secure its passage, and be
loj e the hill was considered further he wanted the mat
ter mvestlcstsd.
Mr. GBaBAM said be Legged leave to differ from
Senators who did not desire to pay attention to reports
of improper means being used Be would never vote
(or any bill where money bad been us*«t In any way.
It was one to the Senate tbafc the charges should be in
vestigsted, and the persons whoixave received money
exposed. It was alleged thatceitsin men outride of the
had said that money was necessary to
pa*s the bill, and. after receiving it, had put
it in their own pockets. The Senators had been
sold by thete men like cattle in their stalls.
The character of every Senator for integrity was at
stake, and if tbisbili was allowed to pass under the eir
cnmstacceß the Senators would write tbe sentence of
iheh own infamy.
Mr. LOWRY said that there had never been a time
when an honest Mil from the western part of the State
ctuld notpMg. If & corporation had paid money he
hop*a tee bill would be killed, and those who received.
ard paid the money sent to the penitentiary. He had
smelt something wrong about the bill from the first, bat
his suspiuone were removed when a gentleman from
Meadviile, Mr. Begley, as pure a man as there is in the
State, ini erased him that the bill was right and of im
portance to his constituents
Mr. BEABDhLEE said lie had information relative to
the matter frrm the parties themselves, and had been
promised more light.
JUr. BOPKIAB cave hie reasons for havieg the bill
laid over Be had been told by a gentieman of the high
est authoilty that S26*COG had been paid over to a cer
tain parly totave the bill.passed through the Senate,
and that $6, fOO had been raid to have it passed in the
House, and the person who paid the money supposed it
would astut e its pasiage through both Bouses. This
person was told that ihe Senate held itself higher than
the Bouse, and it would take $25,(0?* to get it through
and obtain the Governor's signature, it passed the
Bouse, and a telegraph was tent that the money must
come.befere the bill could be considered by the Senate,
and that it must he in it, ooo bills. It was cent, and they
hold it to this day, under the pretence of passing a bill
just in itself. This railroad agent of the Atlantic and
Great ’Western Company was given to understand that
the bill would not pass unless the money was furnished
The parties insisted on having the funds, and finally
succeeded in getting^them from the agent. I have just
been informed that tbe money has since been disgorged.
Mr. WORTHIfI GTOJS said that he had taken charge
oi the original bill without any knowledge of anything
wrong. Even now It was not charged that any member
had received money. The parties against whom the
charges were made should be tried and punished.
. Mr. GBABAM said that he would rather resign hie
seat than vote for a bill so tainted with fraud, even
though the bill itself was pore as a sunbeam.
Mr. LOWRY had been e&tiappid into sustaining the
bill B e wished a committee of investigation appointed.
If the hill was as pure as Cssar’s wife, if it was daubed
over by the payment of $25,000, he considered he owed
no feajty to hlsecneiitnents who were interested in it.
Mr. BOFKiFB laid that names of persons were
mentioned of whom he bad had high xe;p»et, bathe
could rot tell now which one received the money.
The money had been extorted from the agent, and
s?4,Gohaabeenrefnsdedthis morning in sl.ooobills
end the balance in s3os and sloos, and had baen placed
bathe hands of a responsible party. Hot a cent of the
*30,0(0 h&d been offered to a member. Be could give a
ccmmlltee names of parties who knew all ebon* it.
Mr. McCARDLESB said that any company who would
use money to procure legislation forfeited their rights.
If the bill just at it was had been passed, it would have
been said-the-Senators had been paid, although the
pa rties outside had the money in their pockets.
On motion of Mr LOWJ»Y, the bill was postponed,
and a committee of investigation appointed with power
to send for persons and papers.

Good News from West VißorNiA,—There Is
great excitement among the holders of stooks of oil
companies whose lands are located In West Vlr.
ginla. Wells are being struck nearly every day,
producing from twenty to one hundred barrels of
oil. The recent strike or a hundred-barrel well,
sear the forks of Hughes river, Is only a short dis
tance from the property of the Hotel her’* Hun Pelro
hum and Mining Company, which is located within
the Immediate centre of the great oil belt of West
Virginia, about two miles from the forks or Hughes
river. Subscriptions to the etook of this company
will be received at the office of Mr. Robert c. Davis,
No. 13 South Third street, and remittances by mail
to the treasurer will receive prompt attention. The
card of this company will be found Jn another
column, ■ W
“ Golden Rule Oil and Mining Company.”—
We cannot but express our surpilse at the rapidity
with which the stock of the “ Golden Rule Oil Com
pany ”Is being taken. The low price of shares—
ten cents each, fuU. paid— commends Itself to all
classes of people, The land of this Company— l7s
acres In West Vlrglnla—is situated In the midst of
the richest oil section in that State, and cannot but
realize to those who invest In ft a very handsome
profit.,
We would advise our friends to act at once,
and seeme an Interest In this Company before It Is
too late,
Their office Is at No. arwalnut street, room 23,
whore the books will remain open for a few dayß
-longer.
The Philadelphia National Petroleum
Company.— The rapid decline in the premium on
gold, which bears down with It the price or all com
modities, affeots the value of oil stocks less than It
does rjilroad and other shares generally admitted
mueh more reliable. Petroleum companies owning
good producing lands firmly withstand the great
fall In gold, and continue to .command good prices.
This fact, so apparent to aU who take the least In
terest In watching the stock market, must satisfy
any doubtrul mind ss to the entire safety of Invest
ing In oil shares. The Philadelphia National
Petroleum Company is one of the very best
organizations presented to the public, and there is
no room to doubt its success. It has the great
and truly reUable recommendation of owning 192
acres or land, In fee simple, situated In the most
desirable part of the oil region, the great value
of which lsEshown by the numerous flowing
wells surrounding It. The great well of the Sugar
Creek Company Is near the property of the Phila
delphia National, which Is one of the best Induce
ments a company can offer to those'about selecting
for investment. It Is not to be Inferred that because
the stock of an oil company Is disposed of at a high
figure, the certainty of its success Is greater than
that of a company Issuing stook at 25 cents per share.
A company controlled by gentlemen so favorably
known as those named as officers of the Philadel
phia National, cannot fall to' benefit Its stockhold
ers. The excellent location of the property, and Its
already Increasing value, at once secure persons
who Invest in it handsome gains. Besses have
been granted by this company which alone will
yield a large profit. Persons desirous of investing
In oil stocks cannot select a more reliable or pro
mising company than the Philadelphia National.
Subscription books are now open at the hanking
bonse of Harper, Durney, & Co., No. 55 South Third
street, where the stock can be obtained at 26 cents
per share. Application should be made at once, as
the books will remain open but a few days longer.
Thb pbopbbty of the Central Oil Ran Petro
leum Company Is spoken of very favorably in the
April number of Magazine, and also by a
correspondent of the Petroleum Mean, of Now
Y6rk'. Tbe Commercial List also refers to it as in
tbe range of tbe rlohest and poost productive lands
in the oil regions. Tbe Company Is now developing
its territory, .having one well 160 feet deep, and
another will soon be commenced.

Miohbhbb’b Exobibiob Haks.—We have to
draw attention to the Spring announcement of J,
H, Miohener & Co., 142 and 144 North Front street,
whose Excelsior Hams, Tongues, and Beer are un
surpassed. They are cured ln-Mlohener’s own es
tablishments, and the great demand for them ean
with difficulty he supplied.
Pbilabbipbia ab it was Ann as it is.— There
have been great changes in Philadelphia within
fifty years. Fifty years ago the old Waterworks,
with the image and swan, were far out of fawn, In
Centre Square, pn Broad street. Horse-boats were
the boats of that day; row-boats on the Delaware
took passengers to the Island or to Jersey, from
Market-street wharf. The stores* were-little, in
significant shops. Now, we have sumptuous and
commodions boats upon the river, and upon shon
we have such palatial establishments as the Brown-
Stone Clothing Haß of RookMU & Wilson, Nos. 603
and 008 Chestnut street, above Sixth.
