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

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. *

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.

Major 20th Penn'a Cavelry.

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.

4 Hutchison, the celebrated Manufacturers of Fancy-

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.

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,

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. Tts action was not upon only the stomach,
[ but upon the norvous system, was prompt and gratifying.
■ I feci that 1 hare derived.great and permanent benefit from
: the use of a few bottles. ' Very respectfully y£ s.
