THE WA-IL .
GENERAL SHERMAN'S INVASION.
The interest of the intelligence of the
past week has principally centered around
this, the greatest and boldest movement of
the war. Sherman's order for the march—
" Special field Older, no. 120,' under date
of Nov . 9th has transpired, which lets in a
little more light upon the strength and pur
pose of the enterprise. News from rebel
sources is still lifting the veil. We condense
the particulars of the order.
1. Divides the army into two wings—the
right composed of the 16th and 17th corps;
under Mal. Gen. 0. 0. Howard ; and the
left, the 14th and 20t11 corps under /Nor
Gen. H. W. Slocum.
2. The habitual order of the march, will
be, whenever practicable, by four roads, as
nearly parallel as possible, and converging
at points hearafter to be indicated in orders.
The cavalry, Brigadier • General Kilpatrick
commanding, will receive special orders
from the Commander-in-chief.
2. Directions for the safety of the ammu
nition and supply trains. Also fixing 7 a.m.
for the starting hour of the separate columns
and fifteen miles per day for marching time,
except when otherwise ordered,
4. The army, during the march to forage
liberally on the country. This is to be done
only by foraging parties, organized by bri
gade commanders, and placed under one or
more discreet officers. Soldiers, during a
halt, may gather vegetables and drive in
stock in front of their camps, but may not,
without order, enter or trespass upon dwel
lings. Commanders must aim to keep at
all times, at least ten days provisions and
three days forage on hand in the wagon
trains.
5. The power to destroy mills, houses,
cotton gins &c., is entrusted to corps com
manders, under this general principle : in
districts and neighborhoods where the army
is unmolested, no destruction of such property
should be permitted ; but, should guerillas
or bush-whackers molest our march, or
should the inhabitants burn bridges,obstruct
roads, or otherwise manifest local hostility,
then army corps commanders should order
and enforce a devastation, more or less relentless,
according to the measure of such hostility.
6. Allows cavalry and artillery to appro
priate freely and without limit, horses,
mules and wagons which may, fall in their
way. Foraging parties may also take them
as needed for burdens. But discrimination
is to be made between the property of the
rich who are usually hostile, and the indus
trious poor who are usually neutral or
friendly. In foraging, abusive or threaten
ing language is to be avoided, and officers
in command may, whenever they think
proper, give to parties foraged on, cetificatea
of facts, but not receipts. They must also
endeavor to leave with each family a reason
able portion for maintenance.
7. Negroes who are able bodied, and can be of
service may be taken along.
8. Directs the organization of a good pio
neer batalion for each corps, to be com
posed, if posssible, of negroes. Prescribes
their order of march, and gives orders and
sundry regulations for the armies respecting
the mode of marching.
9. Regulations for pontoon trains for each
wing.
Rebel accounts betray all the confusion
which might be expected to arise from a
great and well-planned march into the
heart of their Country. Messages from Cobb
and Beauregard, and from the Georgia rebel
Congressmen, and flaming editorials frog
the rebel press, call upon the Georgians tJ
destroy and lay waste everything before O.:a
advancing columns of our army, and as
much as possible retard its movements unt d
the rebel forces can be concentrated to op
pose it. Such assertions as the following
are made to cheer the terrified Georgians:
" We have troops ample in numbers, that
will be there at the right time and strike a
fatal blow, provided the citizens of Georgia
will do their duty, to harass and embarrass
the march of the enemy. This is no guess
of ours, but a fixed fact. The skies may
look dark, but the opportunity has arrived
for the people to strike a blow that will do
more than all others to end the war and
restore peace to the country."
The Augusta Sentinel of Nov 19th speaks of
the progress of the column which we know
to be moving on that place. Its advanck
was at Social Circle Nov. 17th, 51 mile swest
of Atlanta. On the 18th, the passenger
train running on the Georgia Railroad only
came from " Union" 95 miles east of At
lanta and 76 west from Augusta, showing
that Sherman's advance had made travelling
perilous more than three fifths of the way
to Augusta, five days after the advance
begun.
The Macon papers speak of an advance
on that place also, their militia being at
Griffin 60 miles from Macon, and 40 from
Atlanta. Yet on the 18th our cavalry was
at Forsyth, only 26 miles from Macon, leav
the militia 34 miles in the rear. On the
19th the rebels in Macon believed our forces
to be on their right—eastward—distance 30
miles and moving towards Augusta, but on
the 20th they learned that the railroad to
Savannah had been cut at Griswold, only 9
miles out, and a dispatch,from Savannah we
suppose, says: Communication between Sa
vannah and Macon is destroyed, and the
wires have been cut between Gordon and
Milledgeville also. However, under date of
the 21st, the Savannah papers speak of a
private dispatch from Macon. They add
that reports are so conflicting, that an intel
ligible opinion of the enemy's movements
cannot be formed from them. The Georgia
Legislature fled from Milledgeville, on the
18th, Stories were rife also of the burning of
Monticello, (county seat) and Hillsboro, in
Jasper co., by our forces, but nothing cer
tain was known. Later rebel accounts say
that Milledgeville and Gordon, the latter 20
miles from Macon, were captured on the
21st. The captain of a government trans
port, engaged in bringing exchanged union
prisoners from Savannah, reports that when
he sailed on the 25th the exchange of
prisoners had ceased, Sherman having cut
off the railroads leading to Savannah, and
had, it was thought, reached all the balance
of our men, as he was only about six hours'
march from the stockade (at Millen Ga.),
when the men who arrived in the Hiram
Livingston left there. The rebels .were
making great efforts to send the rest of the
prisoners to Florida.
ATTEMPT TO BURN NEW YORK,
The Rebels earnest in their Threats of Ineendi-
Some two weeks since, a man appeared at
the police head-quarters in New York, and
stated that he was direct from Richmond;
that he' had formerly sympathized with the
rebels, but bad become disgusted with them,
and that his desire was to put the authori
ties of New - York on their guard against just
such an attempt as we chronicle to-day.
He said he knew that the sum of $20,000
had been set apart in Richmond for the, pur
pose of purchasing phosphorus, and hiring
men to go North and set on fire public and
private buildings in our principal cities.
This man, we understand, further said that
if the Government would take care of his
wife and family he would assist in ferreting
out the conspirators, with some of whom he
said he was acquainted. His story obtained
no credit, and so the warning was rejected.
Last Friday night gave to the case a differ
ent aspect. It was the night of the greatest
peril and greatest deliverance which New
York ever experienced. A systematic and
most alarming attempt was made to fire the
city from a great number of points, all well
adapted for the purpose of a general and un
controllable conflagration. The plan seems
to have been for the agents who had in
charge the execution of the fiendish plot to
take each a room in some large hotel, and
there make a pile of clothing and other com
bustible materials, saturate them with tur
pentine and sprinkle them over with phos
phorus, then set them on fire, lock the door
and leave the house, carrying away the key.
So far the plan, with more or less exactness
was carried into effect in St. James' Hotel,
Twenty-sixth street and Broadway, St.Nieho
las Hotel, La Farge House, the Metropoli
tan, Lovejoy's Hotel, Tammany Hall, Bel
mont Hotel, the United States, the Howard
Hotel, the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the New
England Hotel and the Astor House. A
similar attempt was also made on Barnum's
Museum.
, The intention appears to have been that
all these fires should break out simultaneous
ly, probably 9 o'clock, but several of the
agents appear to have been bunglers in chem
istry, or otherwise inexpert, so that several
of the discoveries of fire were delayed further
into the night.
Most wonderful to relate, at every point
the fire was discovered. in season to be ex
tinguished. A considerable amount of dam
age was done to rooms and furniture—the
heaviest, (aboutsl,soo,) at the Metropolitan
—but not a house was burned. As soon as the.
breaking out of fire after fire revealed the
scope of the conspiracy, Chief Engineer
Decker, telegraphed to all the principal
hotels in the city to have twelve or fifteen
pails of water on each floor ready for any
emergency, advice which was in most in
stances followed. Strict watch was also kept
at all the Hotels duringthe night,—the doors
of most of :them being kept locked nnd
guarded, so as to prevent the admission of
any persons not belonging to the house,
while many of the guests preferred to sit up
all night in preference to taking the chance
of being caught asleep should an alarm be
given.
A few arrests of suspected persons have
been made, but with what prospect of 'Con
viction does not yet appear. One, a Balti
more lady, who had in the afternoon, taken
rooms at the Metropolitan, and had that
evening visited the La Farge, was discharged
after examination, she having given proofs
which accounted for the circumstances which
awoke suspicion against her.
ORDER OF GEN. DIY
On the following day, Gen. Dix issued the
following order. " A nefarious attempt was
made last night to set fire to the
. principal
hotels and other places of public resort in
this city. If this attempt had succeeded it
would have resulted in a frightful sacrifice of
property and life.
" The evidence of extensive combination,
and other facts disclosed to-day, show it to
have been the work of rebel emissaries and
agents. All such persons engaged "in secret
acts of hostility here can only be regarded as
spies, subject to martial -law, and to the
penalty of death. If they are detected they
will be immediately brought before a court
martia►l, or military commission, and if con
victed they will be executed without the de
lay of a single day."
General Dix has also issued an order re
newing the notice to all persons from the in
surgent States to register their names at
headquarters. Persons billing to comply
with these instructions will be treated as
spies.
THE WORLD'S WEEK OF PRAYER,
The time has come when the churches
should be thinking of this annual service,
now fixed by general usage for the week
from January 1 to S. It will be recol
lected that its obstrvance is strongly
recommended by almost all the national
ecclesiastical bodies, .our own General
Assembly included. We give below
the annual circular of the British
Branch of the Evangelical Alliance, in
viting attention to it :
The time has again arrived to invite
Christians of .all countries to make ar
rangements for observing , a week of
special and united .prayer at the begin
ning of the coming year. Few move
ments of the Church of Christ have been
more owned and honored of the Lord
than these annual seasons of united sup
pliCation. The Evangelical Alliance,
therefore ; feel imperatively urged to
renew their invitation, in the hope of
meeting a yet larger response than in
former years, and of obtaining stillmore
abundant spiritual and temporal bless
ings.
The calls for prayer are loud and ur
gent; the claims of a perishing world
increasing as they must with the readi
ness everywhere apparent to receive the
truth; the assaults made against the
common faith by a revived Romanism,
and by modern forms of infidelity; the
war spirit excited among nations pro
fessedly Christian; these and other con
siderations urge upon true believers,
while persevering in zealous,
active ef
fort, to draw near to the Throne of
Grace, and,. by united, continuous, and
faithful prayer, to " prove God" accord
ing to His own Word—" If I will not
open you the windows of heaven, and
pour you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room enough to receive it.
Malachi iii. 20. " I will that men. pray
.everywhere, lifting up-holy hands, with
out wrath and doubting.".-1 Tim. ii. S.
The following topics, among others,
are suggested as suitable for exhortation
and intercession on the successive days
of meeting':—
Sunday, Jan. I.—Sermons on the
Agency of the Holy Spirit in the Pre
sent Dispensation.
Monday, Jan. 2.—Thanksgiving for
blessings upon Individuals, Nations, and
Churches ; together with Confession of
Sins.
Tuesday, Jan, 3.—Pastors, teachers,
evangelists, and missionaries.
Wednesday, Jan. 4.—The children of.
Christian parents, congregations and
schools.
Thursday, Jan.. s.—Sunday schools,
and all actively engaged in Christian
Work.
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1864.
Friday, Jan. 6.--The abolition of sla
very and cessation of war.
Saturday, Jan. 7.-=The Christian
Church : For increased holiness, activi
ty, and harmony among its several sec
tions.
Sunday, Jan. B.—Sermons : The visi
ble unity of the Church—tt That they
all may be one, as thou, Father, art in
me, and I in thee, that they also may be
one in us, that the world may believe
that thou bast sent me."—john xvii. 21.
MASON & HAMLIN'S CABINET ORGAN.—.-Such
an instrument is all that is needed in any
church of ordinary size; and even in Trinity
Church, in this city, the grandest specimen
of the Gothic architecture on the continent,
Dr. Cutler, the celebrated organist, hai in
troduced one of them into the chancel, as
better adapted to some parts of the service,
and to some classes of music, than the great
pipe organ, whose tones make the walls
tremble. In. the churches throughout the
country they answer every requirement, and
have already been widely sought for and in
troduced. Such eminent artists and musi
cians as Thalberg, Lowell. Mason, Zundel,
Root, and many others, bear testimony to
their merits in the highest terms ; and once,
hearing them will satisfy the most skeptical
that they are just what the Chu.i.ch has been
waiting for—something to aid without drown
ing the singing; something easily ohtained,
easily kept in order, and giving power,
cma
jesty, and melody in the wo sitip of God.
For this nothing is equal to tl e organ; and
here we have an organ, sweet, solemn, sono
rous, and grand, the instrumint you will
love the more the longer you h ar it.—N. Y.

the HUBB'S WELL,
now producing thirty (30) barrels daily, half
of which belongs to this Company. The der
ricks for two more wells aro now being erected,

ether wells of twenty and thirty barrels in the
immediate vicinity. •
One eighth (i) free interest in all the
obtained in a lease on the

on Oil Creek, on which lease is situated two
wells, producing eighty barrels per day. On
this lease three new wells are now being drilled
and-near completion, from which the company
will receive the one-eighth the Oil. The farm
is well known from the fact that the 11111CLIN

In lot No. 26, on which is situated the .11.. E
r WELL. The
HYDE AND EGBERT FARR
is acknowledged to be one of the best producing
farms in the whole region.
The following remarks are taken from the
financial columns.of the Philadelphia Press,
of Nov. 16th, 1864.
" The excitement in oil stocks is still in
creasing, and the prices of some of the produc
ing companies have materially advanced. We
notice the companies situated on the - Hyde
and Egbert farm, which is situated on Oil
Creek, having rapidly advanced within the
last few days. This is owing to some large
wells having been lately struck on this pro
perty, one flowing about a thousand barrels
per day, and one flowing two hundred barrels-per
day. The entire yield of this farm is now
between fifteen hundred and two thousand
barrels per day, and some of the companies
16,:ated on the "Maple Shade," "Hyde Farm,"
" Rock," "Egbert"and " Mineral," have had
their incomes doubled by the above new wells
going down on their farm, on one of .which
the largest oil crevice yet found is said to
have been struck.",
One-seventh (1-7) working interest in two
acres and eighteen perches on Cherry Run, on
which is situated the A.
REED W ELL,
now producing some 310 barrels per day. This
well is one of the most reliable, and has been
daily increasing, and the striking it has proved
the fact that Cherry Run property is among
the most reliable and productive in the oil re
gion. ' -
The entire land interest in 12 acres, on Cher
ry Run, about three-fourths of a mile above
the Reed Well. - This property is well located,
being all boreable, and FIVE WELLS ARE
NOW BEIN(ir DRILLED °NIT, TWO OF
WHICH ARE NEAR COMPLETION,rand
according to the leases granted, FIVE.MORE
WELLS ARE TO BE COMMENCED ON
THE PROPERTY WITHIN ONE HUN
DRED DAYS FROM NOV. 1, 18G4. This
interest is expected to increase 0-3 yield of the
Company to a large amount. •
Forty acres, in fee simple, on Cherry Run
above the 12 acres owned by the Company.
On the adjoining farms, great activity now
exists, derricks being erected and wells
drilled. Two derricks are now being erected,
and the development of this property will be
prosecuted vigorously.
The following extracts are from an editorial
of the PUBLIC LEDGER, November 19,
1864.
" One of the most remarkable features about
the present oil excitement is that, while the
territory kn - own to possess oil, is so rapidly
extending in area, the older settled portion,
where most oil has been drawn off, is daily
rising in price. The price, too, of the oil is
higher than ever, being eleven dollars and a
half per barrel at the wells now. Yet,all around
Oil Creek new areas have been added of far
greater extent than those before known. The
whole ofOherry run may be said to have come
into the market, since the beginning of the
year. and is now considered the most valuable
territory anywhere to be found. Wells are
supposed never to fail on it."
The Company ate now receiving from the
producing interests, fifty-four (54) barrels of
Oil daily, which will enable them to pay a
handlome and prompt dividend on its capital;
also an interest in eighteen wells in various sta
ges.of comliletton. Two on Alleghany River,
from which they will receive half the Oil; three
on McCI4NTOCII. FARM., from which they
will receive one-eighth the Oil; FIV-E ON
CHERRY RUN, half the Oil; TWO, ON
CHERRY RUN. all' the Oil; and SIX ON
THE HYDE AND EGBERT FARM.
If these wells have but the usual success,
the productiOn to the Company will be in
creased to a large amount within the next
ninety days.
$25,000, will be retained in Treasury for the
purpose of developing the lands of the Com
pany.
Subscriptions will be received to the above.

county, about midway between the towns of President
and Tionesta. It adjoins the Heckathorn farm, and
also aeNtins and is in the immediate vicinity of several
oil companies.
Igo. 6. All that certain tract, piece, or parcel-of land,
containing twelve acres, being and situate in Hickory
township, Venango county. This is part of the Sutliff
tract. It fronts on Hunter's Ran, is near the Allegheny
River, and about a mile and a half northwest of the
town of Tionesta. Oa this twelve acre tract there are
about two sores boring ground,
No. 7. All that certain tract, piece, or parcel of land,
containing fifty acres, being and situate in Pinegrove
township, Venango county, fronting on and near the
month of a ran emptying into Hemlock Creek. About
six acres boring ground. On this tract is some very
heavy oak and hickory timber. (See map, show ng
their locality.)
Those seven estates embrace four hundred and
three acres, of which say one•fourth is boring ground.
As mil be observed, all these tracts
_front 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 mould
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 as the
capitalist, an opportunity to secure an interest in this
truly wonderful as well as moneymaking region.
All of these properties have been selected for their
eligibility, are unusually well located, and if Now, put
in market in bulk, might be sold for more than the
subscribers will pay for them. They are all contiguous to,
adjoin, and are between lands of the "Farrar," "Presi
dent," " Bull Creek," and Tionesta Oil and Lumber"
companies, having in the aggregate a capital of severe
millions of dollars.
As all are aware, the usual plan adopted for the de
velo pement of such a property is to form a company
and issue certificates of stock. The plan here pro_
posed may be considered prelintinary, to the organiza
tion of one or more companies on these estates, which
,will cost the 100 oarourAt FISIMCRIBZILS only one thousand
dollars each, and are subject to no royalty, leases, or
mortgages whatsoever, but Rill be got with an unques.
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 an 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 the 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 valuei—Furthermore, so much of
he land as may be retained by the company, which
they do not theiaasetvcs mean to develope, may be
leased on a "royalty" for one•third of the oil produced,
or otherwise disposed o 1 the dividends received from
which source, would also greatly enhance the value of
the original stock.
THE TERMS
are as follows: No more than one hundred subscrip
tions will be taken. Not less than one share will be
dis posed of to any one person• but subscribers can
take one or more shares, either for themselves or
others. Fubscriptions can be paid for tither at the
time ossubseribing or when the list is made ap. If
desired. two or more persons can alb together and
take a share.
To secure subscriptions by mail, all that is really
necessary to say is:
DE42. Su;: Please pat my name down for one for
more] share, and when the list is filled, draw on me
three days after sight ft r the amount.
Date—Yours truly—Name—P. 0. address.
