So says a Nashville despatch of Nov. 16th. The condition of the roads prevents active operations, and the rebel army re mains comparatively quiet. Over two thou _ sand men left Indianapolis yesterday for the Nashville accounts siy - Tratt - titruirnenz in Atlanta hava been destroyed but such as would have been of service to the rebel army. Both thereand at Rome, manufactories, 'mills, store-Aouses &c. have been put out of 1 the way. Appearances indicated the evacua m.l„„ of tbise places for the great onward m oven:iv ( which still remains as much a my s t e l as ever. p‘mors from rebel sources are to the ef pet that Sherman has Mobile in view. A /late number of the Richmond Whig says that he has sent a part of his army towards Selma. The Whig calls upon the rebel gov ernment to raise a special force of (15,000 to put an end to Sherman and Sheridan. GENERAL SHERIDAN'S ARMY. Dates from the headquarters up to the evening of Noiember 15 say that on the day previous Gen. Powell caytured from the rebels in the Luray Valley two pieces of artillery; one hundred and fifty prisoners, and a quantity of ammunition. Also on the;same day another victory was gained by Gen. Torbert's cavalry. Thri rebel cavalry advanced below Newtown at an early hour on the 14th, when •Gets. Custer and Mer ritt with their divisions, engaged them. The manmuvring and skiruiishing lasted for several hours. The rebel cavalry. was finally compelled to fall back in great confusion, and our men drove them into and through Newtown. During the time this engage ment lasted Gen. Early was advancing with , his infantry, and had already reached-Mid dletown, to which place their cavalry re treated. Our losses were very small both in killed and wounded. A reconnoissance was made a few days ago by the cavalry as far as Cedar Creek.' It was ascertained that Gen. Early recrossed Cedar Creek and had again occupied Fisher's Hill. It was also ascer tained that Early's infantry force was • a considerable one, but he ordered them to fall back immediately after his cavalry had been driven in. The smoke of their camp fires on Fisher's Hill was distinctly visible from Cedar Creek. Washington letters of a later date say that the news from the Valley is very con flicting, but the belief at the War Depart ment here is that Early is' falling back to the cover of Lynchburg. There is an im pression, at the same time, that this falling back may be a mere feint for the purpose of deceiving our forces and preparing the way for a repetition of the Cedar Creek surprise upon Winchester. Threatened Guerilla Invasion of Penn- sylvania Checked Moseby last week pushed his scouts over the line of this State, preparatory to a dash for securing plunder and doing mischief generally. A Harrisburg account of Nov. 17th, says, that immediately upon the re ceipt of intelligence of the proposed guerilla raid into the Cumberland valley, steps were taken, by Governor Curtin for the organiza tion of the militia in the border countieF. Over 1000 men have already been armed and equipped by the State authorities, and no apprehension is now entertained of an incursion. Of the twenty scouts sent by Moseby into Pennsylvania, seven have been captured Five others are believed to have escaped to the south side of the Potomac. _Nebel Movements in Virginia.—ln formation from Spottsylbania and Stafford counties, Va., shows that the rebel conscripting offi cers are scouring the coun try in all directions, and every man under sixty and all boys over fifteen years of age are impressed into the rebel service. A few_ dayi since a party of these rebel officers captured five men, and were conveying them to the rendezvous, when two of them taking a favorable oppor tunity, drew pistols which they had con cealed on their persons, and shot the two leaders of the o'her party dead, when the rest took to flight. Men are everywhere hiding in the woods and endeavoring to es cape to our lines. Frederick has become so depopulated that it is estimated that only one house in ten is occupied, and fuel is so scarce - that the inhabitants are pulling down the vacant houses and using the material for firewood. The market price of firewood there is $l5O per cord. 'The Northwest. —General Pope,'in submit ting his official report of the operations in the Department of the Yorthwest for the past'Year, says that, in settling a peace with the Indians, he intends to do away entirely with treaties—a system which is always at tended with frauds upon the government and the Indians. His plan is based simply upon the understanding that the Indians behave themselves, and do not molest the whites, and that the whites shall be made to deal fairly with the Indians, and not molest them in any way. The military authorities undertake to force good conduct on both •sides, and will , have the power, if not inter fered with, to do so thoroughly. He says the government may safely dismiss all ap prehensions of Indian wars in the Northwest. LATER ACCOUNTS. Gen. Gillem was undoubtedly defeated by the rebel Gen. Breckenridge, at Bull's Gap, on the 14th, with the loss of about 400 men, killed, wounded, and missing. Brecken ridge's despatch to Richmond also claims the capture of ten stands 9f colors, six pieces .of artillery, with caissons and horses com plete, fifty loaded wagons with teams, and ambulances with medical supplies. Gen. Gillem is reported safe at Knoxville. On the 18th the rebels attacked our force at Strawberry Plains, eighteen miles, above Knoxville, hitt were thoroughly repulsed. Memphis dates of Nov. 17, report Beaure gard at Corinth with a considerable force, and about to le joined by Forrest. The clerk of a steamer from New Orleans to Cairo reports that Gen Canby died in the -former city on the 11th inst. A letter from Nashville, Nov. 15, says that all communication With Sherman ceased on Saturday evening the 12th inst., that com mander having on that evening sent his last train from Atlanta to Chattanooga. It also adds, "Atlanta may be burned by this * time, but on the 12th inst., it was preci-ely in the same condition that it bad been since its occupation, with the exception of several demolished houses." Moseby has threatened a guerilla dash across the Upper Potomac to burn Hagers town, in retaliation for the destruction of property in the valley by Sheridan. The citizens are armed for self-defence, and have scouts sent out in all directions. LATEST-TUESDAY. Gen. Sherman is doubtless marching for Macon and Augusta. He is said to have 50,- 000 infantry, 9000 cavalry with artillery and munitions of war in proportion, and provis ions for 30 days—some say 60. The cavalry and part of the infantry left Atlanta Nov. 12th. The railroad to Chattanooga has been destroyed, and all the foundries, and machine shops, factories, railroad depots or buildings that could be used for the rebel army, in Rome and Atlanta were to be, or had been. at that time, given to the fiatnes. Hood and Beauregard, according to a Cincinnati des patch of Nov. 21, were still near Florence, Ala. Gen. Thomas' army in their front was receiving constant additions. dated in the field Nov. 8., via Ft. Scott Nov. 15, says Price's rear-guard had just crossed the Arkansas river after losing another gun and his own carriage. Fayetteville, Ft. Gib son and Ft. Smith are now safe. Gold on Monday night, 222 ; 1. So far as ascertained; the next Uuse of Representatives will stand 128 Replicans and 35 Democrats. If . the States yet to elect make no changes the figures will be 140 to 41 or more than 3 to one. REBEL FINANCES Speaking of the Financial condition of the Rebel government, to illaich its Secretary of the Treasury has presented a coleur de rose aspect, the Public Ledger says':—" It' will doubtless be a puzzle to many, how, with an army approaching our own in numbers, and with the purchasing power of graybacks re duced to five cents on' the dollar, the rebel debt should have reached only $1,147,970,200 on the , Ist of October, while that of the Federal Government was, at the same- date, $1,955,973,716. It will appear equally strange that, while we are enabled to keep only from $15,000,000 to 25,00.0,000 in the Treasury, yet so "flush" are the rebels of money that in April last they had $308,000,000 in the Trea sury, and in October $108,500,000 ; and still more remarkable will it appear, that their expenditures were only $272,000,000 for the last six months, while ours were probably $550,000,000. The whole matter, however, is easily explained. The truth is, the rebel finances have sunk into such a condition of demoralization that they have properly speaking, no regular disbursements. The Richmond Government has substituted a system of impressment for that of ordinary purchase. Their commissariat is supplied by produce seized by the army, in payment for which certificates are given payable at the close of the war. These certificates continue in circulation as a sort of currency, helping the inflation ; but not being at present paya ble ; are not recognized in the Treasury regis ter, and are therefore, not included in the statements of the publicAebt. The same paper,, in another article says : "If it be asked, what is the cause of the European panic, the reply is clear—the Con federate loan. This inflated everything in England, and made men reckless in their in vestsments, and determined to sustain a sinking cause at all hazards, and now the bubble has begun to burst. WAR' ITEMS. No movements of interest are reported from the Army of, the Potomac. Picket firing is kept up, often with fatal results. —Gen. Canby is expected to recover of his wounds, and return in a few weeks to active service.—Rebel papers claim that Breckinridge has recently repulsed our forces at Bull's Gap, East Tennessee.— It is believed in Washington that the Florida will be surrendered whenever de mand is made,npon our Government by the Brazilian authorities.—The citizens of Ha gerstown, Md., are organizing an efficient home force to protect themselves against guerilla raiders. MISCELLANEOUS. Resignation of Gen. McClellan—Sheridan his Successor.—General McClellan resigned his office as Major General in the U. S. Army, on the Bth inst. The resignation was prompl ly accepted at the Wai Department, and Gen. Sheridan was immediately appointed to fill the vacancy. The order for the latter appointment is in the following language: " That for personal gallantry, military skill, and just confidence in the courage and patriotism of his troops, displayed by Phil lip H. Sheridan on the 19th of October, at Cedar Run, whereby, under the blessings of Providence, his routed army was reorgan ized, a great national disaster averted, and a brilliant victory , achieved over the rebels for the third time in pitched battle within thirty days, Phillip . Et. Sheridan is appoin ted Major General in the United States Ar my, to rapk as such from the Bth day of No vember, 1864. " By order of the President of the United States." Explosion.—The boiler of a locomotive on the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad exploded at Shelby Junction, Ohio, on the night of the 7th inst., killing the en gineer and seriously scalding two other per sons. It is stated that before starting from Cleveland the engineer protested against us ing the locomotive, on the ground of its be ing old and unsafe. Arrest of Counterfeiters.—Twenty notorious counterfeiters of Government. currency— two of whom are women—arrived in Wash ington on Friday from the West, in charge of an officer, and were committed to the Old Capitol prison. With these counterfeiters were seized presses, plates and a large quan tity of material used in the manufacture of the base issues. Sad Result of a Dangerous .Practice.--Wil• Liam Turner and his wife of. New Paltz, N. Y., locked their three children in the house while they went to gather nuts, on Sunday, and returned to find their home in ashes and their children burnt to death. Bad.—A drover in Cincinnati lost $4OO, which a cow swallowed, a fact that was as certained by finding in her mouth pieces of the greenbacks. He bad her killed and picked out of the stomach and put together enough to amount to $lB6. Lead Mine in Clarion County.—The Clarion Democrat says: " We have been shown sev eral specimens of very fine lead ore, procur ed along the Clarion river, near Callensburg. Men are now at work to develop these lead veins, and ascertain if they are sufficiently large to work. Some are of the opinion that lead ore exists in great abundance at sever al points in this county. And there are those also who contend that silver too has been found: Who knows but that, in addi tion to the oil now being discovered, we may have also rich silver and lead mines in the county ? These things are Wdrth examining. Valuable Discovery.—An extensive strata of excellent coal is said to have bed-n found at Fort Rice. one vein being six feet thick. This coal field extends towards the south west, and it is supposed outcrops on the slopes of the Mack llills. The existence of this great coal field, half way between the PHILADELPHIA, TROaraDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1864. great lakes and the Rocky Mountains, is a fact the value of which cannot well be over estimated. Aside fror furnishing fuel for the navigation of the Vpper Missouri river, it is a controlling element in the location of a railroad across' the great plains to the Pa cific. Treachery Foiled.—Tke captain of the tin clad Mississippi river gunboat Rattler sold his boat to the rebels., They approached to take her. The other .fficers and - crew. not being in the bargain, fired upon the con tractors and saved the oat.. The stipulated price , was $200,000, ti .ether with! cotton. He was arrested, but escaped. The rebels intended to capture tie General Bragg with the Rattler. The Rat er is a paddle-wheel boat. of 1. 6 e. tpas and I guns.

In order t our readers may have some correct idea of th, value of oil territory before taking a share in th, oil subscriptions where advertised we insert tik e following: At Tideoute, the " E i ponothite Nyctilb" have yielded about one hundred barrels pa...day for three years ; the " Heydrick" well has within the last three years yielded about 28,- 000 barrels of oil, and is still successfully being worked. ‘• • The Maple Shade well is pouring forth a constant stream of oil. The original par value of its stock was slo,per share; it is now selling at $42. The Jersey well yields about $5,000 daily. The Hyde and Egbert F arm, thirty-seven acres leas been converted tto dorrepanies sepresenting over seven mil_ ons dollars. The quality of oil in different locali,ties varies. Every well-informed person knows' that the oil from'Tionesta Creek is ,gonsid ered fully equal, if not superfor, to any in the oil region. Cherry Run, not far from some of these properties, and closely resembling them, Was o ffered in Deed:ober last for $BOO. Two acres of the same property have just .been sold for over s4oo,ooo—one well having been bored which yields $BO,OOO per month, or 'nearly one million dollars per annum. the land interest, (Which is entitled to one•half the oil) in three acres on the Tarr farm is held at $300,000. the C l olumbia Company have 400 acres , in fee simple; that is, free from all royalty, leases or mortgages. Their stock was origi nally solti at $2,50 per share. It has been sold since at $250 00 per share. One gen tleman who bad gpo shares which coat b ink $5,000 was offered $450,000 for them. Many similar cases might be cited. In reference to the "oil subscriptions" we, might say they are gotten up in good faith and will be carried through—by the plan proposed those who now subscribe may with Confidence expect handsoine returns. THE 'CABINET ; ORGAN, manufactured by Mason & Hardlin, is an improvement upon instruments of the melodeon and harmonium kind; and is rapidly winning its way to ex tensive circulation: To some extent it seems to combine the capabilities of the, piano, and of previous reed instruments ; for which it has almost the quickness of action and capacity for rapid, lively music of the one, it adds also the better adaptedness to sacred and home music of the other. Those who hove become accustomed to melitideona and harmoniums, will be charmed with the con siderable improvements which have been attained in the Cabinet .

As will be observed, all these tracts Irani on the Alle gheny and its tributaries. The advantages of being In navigation, where oil can be shipped direct from the well without transportation, and where timber ample may be had on the property to feed the engine, is obvious. As the purchase of either of these tracts Would require more money than the majority of-persons have at command, it is proposed to divide them into one hundred interests of one thousand dollars each, thus affording the man of limited means, as well £{s the capitalist, an^pportunity to secure an Interest in this truly wonderful as well as money-making region. All of these properties have been selected for their eligibility, are unusually well located, and if sow pu in market in bulk, might be sold for more than the subScribers will pay for them. They are all contiguous to, adjoin, and are bettoe.9l lands of the "Farrar," "Presi dent," "Bull Creek," and " Tionesta Oil and Lumber' companies, having in the agg‘re;ate a capital of severa millions of dollars. As all are aware, the usual plan adopted for the de veloPement of such a Property is to form a company and issue certificates of `stock. The plan here pro. posed may be considered . pretiminary to the organiza tion of one or more companies on these estates, which will cost the 100 ORIGINAL ~ . , 1 7BSCRIBERS only one thousand dollars each, and are subject to no royalty, leases, or mortgages whateoevi-r, but will be got with an unquea tionable title, in fee simple throughout. The subscribers can then, upon this substantirl and solid basis, organize one or more 'companies, elect officers from among themselves, each subscriber being equally eligible to the position of au officer of the company. In order that handsome returns. may speedily be realized, these subscriptions are based upon the propo sition that when toe list is full, [notice of which will be duly given,) the subscribers immediately organize a company with a capital of 100,000 shares ai fire dollars each, which will entitle each subscriber to an original interest of 1,000 shares or $5,000 in the capital stock of the company, of which a reservation of ten per eent will give ths company a stock capital of $50,000 for the immediate developement of their estates. When their wells commence flowing, the stock must rapidly increase in value:-Furthermore, so much of• he land as inay be retained by the company, which they do not themsetves mean to develops, may be leased on a "royalty" for cse.thicd of the oil produced, or otherwise disposed of, the dividends received from which source, would also greatly enhance the value of the original stock. • Pkivi are as follows: No more than one hundred subscrip tions will be taken. Not less than one share will be disposed of to any one person- but subscribers can take one or more • shares, either for themselves or others.

I have used them in my own family, and have been so pleased with their effects that I was induced to recommend them to many others, and know that they have operated in a strikingly beneficial manner. I take great pleasure in thus publicly pro claiming this fact, and calling the attention of those af. flicted with the diseases for which they are recommend ed, to these Bitters, knowing from sayorience that my recommendation .will be sustained- Ido this more cheerfully asHootland's Bitters is intended to benefr the afflicted, and is " not a rum drink." Yours truly, LEVI G. BECK. From Bev. J._Newton 11 . rown, D. D., EiEfilor of the Brick Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of their ing ri!- dients and effects; I yet-know of no sufficient reashrs why a man may not to-tity to the benefits he believes himself to have received from any simple preparations in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit o t others. I do this more readily in regard to Hootland's Germat, Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. N. Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced against them for many years, under the ihapresaion that they were ohieffy an alco holic. mixture. I am indebted to my friend. Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper tests, and for encouragement to try them, when suffering from great and lone continued debility. he use of three bottles of these Sitters, at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief, and restoration to a degree or bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for directing me to the use of them. _Phi/oda., June 23, 1861. J. NEWTON BROWN. Frani Rev. J. bf.
