T0ta1,378. Somerset county is about to enter the lists as an oil producing territory, as the editor of the Whig has been assured on very good authority, that petro leum had been discovered in some quantity, in an abandoned well on the Furnace property at Wells burg in that county. It has been the opinion for some time past, of those conversant with the geolog ical formation of that county, that petroleum exist ed there, and a comparison with the oil bearing re gion of Venango, has so fnlly satisfied some of the wide awake citizens of Somerset, of the fact, that leases, for boring purposes, have been secured of a large number of acres. As soon as the spring open*, the matter will be thoroughly tested by companies now forming for that purpose. A CHANGE. —By a recent order from the Headqtiar ters of the Provost Marshal of this District, Wm. F. Houpt, Esq., late acting Deputy Provost Marshal of this county, has been transferred to Bedford county and IVm. L. Huston, Esq.. late Government Detec tive at Chambersbnrg, put in command in this coun ty. Mr. Houpt, while in command at this place, won for himself a reputation for ability, enterprise and vigilance of which any man might justly be proud, and while we deeply regret his departure, in his successor Mr. Huston, we recognize an appoint ment which cannot fail to give satisfaction to all loyal citizens. Both the above named gentlemen have served their country gallantly as members of the Pennsylvania Reserves, and right well do they deserve any favors which Government or its repre sentatives can bestow upon them.— Fulton Repttbli ran. Southern Pennsylvania Hail Road. Speak of this road the "Chambersburg Repos itory" 1 * says: We learn that the work is being pushed as rapidly as possible, considering the great scarcity of labor and exorbitant prices of everything pertaining to the construction of Railroads. The apprehension of some of onr people that this important work will be stopped wheu the connection with the Hunting don aud Broad Top Road is made, is, we arc weU assured, entirely groundless. That connection will first be made for obvious reasons, as it at once makes the part of the road already made, produc tive; hut it is not contemplated by any one con nected with the management to abandon the con nection with the Cumberland Valley. There is some doubt as to just where the new road will in tersect the railroad line of this Valley; but we haz ard little in saying that it will be at this point, or south of it. It would now bet impossible to com plete the entire road in the time prescribed by the act of incorporation, and an extension will lie asked for ; but the company will not seek to be relieved from completing the eastern line of the road. An etlort is now being made to locate it in Maryland, and bring it from Cumberland to Hagerstown ; but we hope tosee it pass through our county. If located in Mary laud, we should lose direct communication with the Broad Top coal fields, and received in ex change direct communication with the Cumberland Coal beds. * FROZEN TO DEATH. —Nine soldiers belonging to the troops being transferred to Bel lair, froze to death in the house cars on Friday night, while rid ing over the Central Ohio railroad.— Wheeling Reg ister. tteOP Mrs. Catharine Bergner, wife of Mr. George Bergner, proprietor of the Harrisburg Telegraph and postmaster of that city, died on Sunday last a week. President Lincoln has been made the recipient of a superb vase of skeleton leaves, gathered frtftu the battle-fields of Gettysburg. This vase was on ex hibition at the Philadelphia Sanitary Fair, last June, and attracted much attention. BOOK NOTICES. The Atlantis Monthly for February is a substan tial feast of good things. Miss Clarke pays tribute admiringly to the genius of Allston. Mrs. Stowe unkennels the "little folks" of domestic felicity.— Mr. Wasson's adventutes in Labrador are still fur ther described. "Roger Brooke Taney" is seurcli ingly analyzed by an anonymous writer, wnose identity is variously conjectured by the press, though it is asserted that he is a member of the Suffolk bar. Wintrier plucks the stars and stripes from a legend of the middle ages. Alice Carey sings of " The Old House" in an effective manner. Mr. S. C. Hall records his reminiscences of Cole ridge, but is in error in thinking that the madrigal— "Love'B Burial-place" —has never been published. It will be found on page 70, vol. ii., of the Poetical Work of Coleridge, from the press of Little & Brown, in their series of the British poets. THE REVIEWS AND BLACKWOOD. —Scott A Co.'s republication of the English Reviews, and Black wood, is one of the good enterprises that the war has left untouched. Fine paper and fair typogra phy still characterizes the issues. These periodi cals are more valuable at this time than ever, on account bf the original, sometimes adverse but al ways instructive, views which they take of the great American struggle. Now and then they give us uews from rebeldom, as in the case ot the January Blackwood, just come to hand, which contains a continuation of the interesting "visit to the camps and cities of the Confederate States." OBITUARY. MAJOR WILLIAM WATSON ANDERSON died near llarpcr's Ferry, Va., Jan. 18, 1865, in the 26th year of his age. He entered the United States service September 1861, with the rank of Ist Lieutenant, was promoted to a Captaincy early in 1863, and to a Majority in 1864. He was a'young man of great innate nobleness of soul. Jn disposition he was amiable and demonstrative, lie attracted many and repelled none. Strong men wept when they heard of his death, and the touching scenes which occurred at his funeral will not soon be forgotten. As a soldier hefiadfew superiors. He was as brave as patriotic. An officer remarked tbqt it was Major Ander son's pride and boast that he had never disobeyed an or der. though he may have failed in its execution. Where duty called he went, regardless of danger. Such was his worth that when there were many applications for the command at Harper's Ferry, it was assigned to him, though he had never sought that honorable and responsible posi tion. He bad expected to return to his home in February on account of hi father's ill-health, but God called him. at an unexpected hour, to another world. The way of God is often in the sea, and His path in the great waters, and His footsteps are not known. But what we know not now we shall know hereafter, and looking at this sad bereavement in the light of the next world, we shall say with thankfulness : "He hath done all things well." God is His own interpreter. And He will make it plain. These remarks might be greatly extended, but space wiH not permit. We enclose herewith the Resolutions adopted by the Regiment to which Major Anderson was attached, together with an accompanying letter. HKADUCAKTEP.B 20TH PENN A. CAVALRY, J LOVETTSVIL.LE, Va., Jan. 23. 1865. j E. ANDERSON, Esq., Bedford, Pa.: Slß —[f the sincere and heartfelt sympathy ot the of ficers and men of the Regiment, in which yonr sou served so honorably and so well, and if the fact of having left a name that will not be forgotten in this command, be any alleviation of the terrible suffering incident to his sudden death, I beg yonr acceptance of the enclosed resolutions, passed by the mourning brother officers of your son. The sorrow of those who have stood with him in the day of battle is, perhaps, second only to that of his immediate family. The association, enhanced by mutual peril and rendered so interesting bv the amiable character of joutr son. is only forgotten with life itself. The grief ofwiis Regiment is beyond my power to adequately convey.— Yonr son's plaee cannot be supplied. With a present hope that the Almighty will comfort, you and your family in your hour of affliction, I am. sir. most respectfully, Ac., ISAAC B. O'CONNOR. Tribute of Ilcspcct. LOVETTSVU.I.K, VA., Jan. 20, 1865 At a meeting of the officers of the 20th Pcnna. cavalry, held at Lovettsviile, Va.. Jan. 20, 1865, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimous ly adoptea : WHEREAS, ft hath pleased an All-wise Providence in his mysterious dealings with men, to remove sud denly from amongst us our brother officer and com panion in arms, Major W. Watson Anderson, and al though constrained Jo acknowledge the stern fact, yet it is scarce possible to realize that we shall never again meet him on earth. It secrns fcntyesterday that side by side in the prime of his manhood and in all the greatness of his courageous soul we stood with him in battle array, his voice cheering us on and his his example infusing energy and determination in the hearts of all. But. he is gone ! His noble heart is stilled in death ; we shall hear his voice no more— no more shall his commanding form be seen in the uan of his regiment : Resolved. That while bowing with humble snbmis sion to the decree of an inscrutable God, we cannot but deplore the loss of a brave and gallant officer, a high-minded and honorable man, inimitable in his actions, unwavering in principle, and wedded to pure and holy thoughts. Revolted. That while we deeply sympathize with his afflicted family in the hour of their dire calami ty and when the bitter cup is filled to overflowing, we are sustained by the unfading hope that their loss and ours, though deep, is his eternal gain. Resolred. That the officers and men of the 20th Pennsylvania Cavalry tender to the bereaved family of their lamented brother officer and fellow soldier their sincere and heartfelt sympathy for the loss of so gallant an officer, true hearted friend and amiable gentleman. Resolved, That the army has lost an officer who could be but illy spared, one whose place cannQt well be supplied, for in life his actions, off or on the the field, reflected credit to himself and his com mand. honor to his country and his country's flag— one whose acquaintance was eagerly courted and whose friendship was highly prized. He was one of those very few of whom it may be truly said : '•He was a man. Take him all in all. We shall not look upon his like again." Resolved, That it will require no towering monu ment to remind the members of the 20th Pennsylva nia Cavalry of the loss of one so endeared to all a like by his uniform courtesy and kindness in their daily intercourse, and bis-gallant aud noble bearing in the hour of strife. His shrine is in . their heart. His name shall ever be remembered with pride min gled with sorrow. • The hearts of his comrades is the fitting mausoleum of so gallant a spirit. Rtsolved, That though lost, to us forever, his no ble example shall only be forgotten when we shall have followed him to that unexplored region, that "borne from whence ne traveller returns.' Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family and that they be published in the lead ing journals of the State. R. B. DOUGLAS, President, Major 20th Penn'a Cavelry. ISAAC B. O CONNOR, Secretary. Adjutant 20th Penn'a Cavalry. c)6AL oil. VITE call the" attention of customers to our "CRYSTAL \V ILLUMINATING CARBON OIL," which stand No. 1 in the market.

Washington, January 1,1564. Gentlemen.—Having stated it verbally to you, I have • no hesitation, in writing the fact, that I experienced mark ed benefit from your Iloofland's German Bitters. During along and tedious session of Congress, pressing and oner ous duties nearly prostrated me. A kind friend suggest ed the use of the preparation I have named. I took his advice, and the result was improvement of health, renew cd energy, and that particular relief I so much needed and obtained. Others may be similarly advantaged if they desire to he. Truly your friend, THOMAS B. FLORENCE. From John B. Wickersham, Esq., firm of Wicktr*ham 4 Hutchison, the celebrated Manufacturers of Fancy- Iron Works, 259 Canal St. lam the recipient from you of one of the greatest fa vors that can be conferred upon man, via: that of health. For many years have I suffered from one of the most an noying and debilitating complaints that the human fami ly can be afflicted with. Chronic Diarrhea. During the long time I was suffering from this disease, I was attended by regular physicians, giving me but tem porary relief. The cause seemed to remain until I was i lmTuroo t- . iSoit. lis* of a few bottles of that valuable medicine, the 'complaint appeared to be completely eradicated. I often inwardly thank you for such a valuable specific and, whenever I have an opportunity, cheerfully recom mend it, with full confidence in its reliability. Truly yours, JOHN B. WICKERSHAM. New York, Feb. 2, 1864. From Julius Lee, Esq., firm of Lee 4 (Vulker, the most extensive Music Publishers in ine United §tates, No. 722 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. February 3th, lSdf. Messrs. Jones 4 Evans—Gentleman:—My mother-in law has been so greatly benefitted by yourHoofland's Ger man Bitters that I concluded to try it myself. I find it to be an invaluable tonic, and unhesitatingly recommend it to all who arc suffering from dyspepsia. I have had that disease in its most obstinate form —flatulence—for many years, and your Bitters has given me ease when every thing else had failed. Yours truly, JULIUS LEE. From the Hon. JACOB BROOM, Philadelphia, Oct. 7th, 1863. Gentlemen: In reply to yonr inquiry as to the effoc produced by the use of Hoofland's German Bitters, in my family, I have no hesitatien in saying that it has been highly beneficial. In one instance, a case of dyspepsia of thirteen years' standing, and which had become very dis tressing, the use of one bottle gave decided relief, the sec ond affecting a cure, and the third, it seems, has confirmed the cure, for there has been no symptoms of its return for the List six years. In my individual use of it 1 find it o be an unequalled tonie, and *ineerely recommend its use to the sufferers. Truly yours, JACOB BROOM, 1707 Spruoe St. Rev. W. D.Seigfried, Pastor of 12th Baptist Church, Philadelphia, December 26th, 1863. Messrs. Jones 4 Evans—Gentlemen: | I have recently I been laboring under the distressing effects of indigestion, | accompanied by a prostration of tho nervns system. . nnm erous remedies were recommended by riends. and some of them tested, but without relief. Your Hoofland's German Bitters were recommended by persons who had tried tbem, and whose favorable mention of the Bitters induced me also to try them. I must confess that I had an aversion to Patent Medicines, from the "thousand and one" quack "Bitters" whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and drugged liquor npon the community, in a sly way; and the tendency of which, I fear, is to | make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that ; yours was really a medicine preparation, I took" it with i happy effect.
