it will be seen that the administrator of the

A new oil company has been formed

PANY with Samuel Shuck. Esq. of Bedford as
President. The lands of this company which
consist of about two hundred and seventy-five
acr -caresituatedinthe Ohio Oilßasin. These
liinds are said to he in the very best part of
•his oil region near the wells <rf Brotvn,
Kirk patrick and others, which are yield
ing the finest quality of lubricating oil.
This oil does not require refining, and sells at
foar times the price of Pennsylvania oil at the
wells, so that one twenty barrel well will pay
as much per day as an eighty barrel well in
Pennsylvania. At the present price, which is
$27.00 per barrel, it will pay ss4o.ooper day,
or $182,000 a year.
The prospect for getting oil in this region
is equal, if not better, than in Pennsylvania,
and the cost of sinking a well is less than one
fifth, a> the depth of the w§lls, now yielding
is from 18 to 200 feet.
IN TOWN. —CoI. Francis Jordan, with his
la iy spent a few days with us, last week. His
stay was short, as the duties of his office re
quired lis presence at Washington, ihe Co
lonel is looking quite well considering the ar
'iuous duties of his position. He entered the
service of his country at the beginning of the
war, w here he continued until called by Gov.
Curtin to fill the office of military State
Agent at Washington in which position he has
since devoted all his energies to caring for the
welfare of Pennsylvania soldiers throughout
all our armies. He is now spoken of as a
candidate for Governor and no better or more
faithfu' man can be found within the borders
of the Old Keystone. We published two
weeks ago an article upon this subject from
the Franklin Repository , signed, Franklin,
the high commendation of which we heartily
endorse. We believe that Col. Jordan is one
of the best and strongest men in this section
of the State and in every way fitted to dis
charge the duties of Governor in such a man
ner as to do credit to himself and promote
'he highest interests of the Commonwealth.

WiTAtcong our new advertisements this
week we call the special attention of our rea
d' i J to that of the Bedford Nurseries, T. M.
hysM-h, proprietor. AH in want of choice
fruit, flowers, ornamental trees, shrubbery,
Ac., will do well to give him a call and exam
lr"j his stock and prices. We can assure them
'hat they will find all the new and valuable
varieties of fruits, Ac., that can be obtained
in eastern nurseries and at as favorable rates
f 5 can be obtained elsewhere, with the advan-
tsge of having them fresh from the ground,
instead of being dried up during transporta
tion from distant nurseries, a very important
"'isideration in transplanting. Onr people
annually buy considerable quantities of trees
and shrubbery from agents of distant nurse
ries, who are frequently irresponsible men,
auu have no interest in giving satisfaction, af
ter the sales are made, as they are not likely
ever to visit the same locality again. Why
not buy of responsible parties at home, whoSe
interest it is to furnish none hut the best, va
rieties. There is nothing that adds so much
'<> the value of property as au abundance of
choice fruit, yet few of our people give their
mention to its cultivation. We would say
' owning property, il only a town lot, plant
1 boiee fruit, not worthless seedlings, but go
the nurseries and buy the best varieties
mat can be obtained and you will find its cul
'• ation both pleasant aud profitable.

THE SOLDIERS WEIA-ONIE HOME. —A corres
pondent sends us the following report of the
dinner which was served up at Waterside on
last Friday :
Since the soldiers of South Woodbury have
returned home, the ladies have been laboring
to give them a welcome home dinner.
After all the necessary arrangements were
made, it was announced that Friday, the 4th
day of Augnst, was the day chosen for this
grand festival to take place. Waterside was
the place designated for the people to congre
gate, and early in the morning the roads were
filled with persons wending their way to the
grove northeast of the village, where all the
arrangements possible, had been made for
their comfort.
In the morning, dark clouds gathered in
the sky, and in ft short time there was every
indication of hat ing ft wet time of it. ' Groups
could be seen starting out in every direction
for the pnrpose of seeking shelter from the
impending storm.
The storm soon passed by with little rain,
when the martial music struek up, and soon
the people were oirce vgc^Ko.
Soon after the people had assembled, a
choir of beautiful young ladies took their place
on the stand, who had been selected by a com*
mittee appointed for that purpose.
From that time everything moved right
along. When the speakers took the stand the
following piogramme was announced :
1. Prayer by Kev. Cramer.
2. Singing by the choir. (America.)
3. Martial Music.
4. Address by Rev. Wra. B. Noble.
5. Martial Music.
6. Singing. (The Red White and Blue.)
7. Address by Mr. J. H. Longeneeker.
8. Martial Music.
8. Singing. (The Prisoner's Hope.)
10. Address by Rev. Cramer.
11. Martial Music.
12. Singing. (E Pluribus Cnum.)
13. Dinner.
I shall not attempt to describe the speaking
or singing for it surpassed anything we have
heard for some time, suffice it to say that it
was exceedingly well done.
The soldiers, at the tap of the drum, formed
in two ranks and marched to the table, find
ing it groaning beneath the weight of the rich
est luxuries the world can afford.
After dinner was over, we were honored by
more singing and had several toasts to which
Rev. Cramer and D. Armstrong, Esq., re
sponded in a very appropriate manner.
There was uothing to mar our pleasures
until evening when some were caught in a
rain storm.
*****
Jxidies and Gentlemen of South Woodbury,
and others who hare contributed on this occa
sion :
The soldiers take this opportunity of re
turning, through the writer, their sincere and
heartfelt thanks for the esteem and kindness
you have shown to the returned ones of our
land. Yon have done nobly, for which we
shall ever be gratified, and 1 may add, that,
while you were laboring for a good and just
purpose, I am informed you met with some
unpleasant reproaches. lam now speaking
in behalf of the soliciting committee. While
calling on some of our would be friends, they
even dared to offer the grossest insults to the
ladies. Refusals of contributions were made
upon various grounds, which I shall not re.
late, but let it be said to the eternal discredit
of those who did so.
Poor miserable creatures, I cannot be per
sonal for the guilty know too well to whom
the allusions are made. Do you see any
thanks here for you? Oh, I entreat these
scorpions to mend their ways, become friends
of soldiers, resolve to support the government
and after staying at home following the civil
avocations of life during this rebellion: let
them not grumble when tax collectors call to
see them and if they are opposed to soldiers
and all their undertakings, let them not speak
their mind in public, for the soldiers, whose
name is legion, will be sure of finding it out.
We can never repay the kindness shown us
by the patriotic and generous of this vicinity,
while on the other hand, I am sorry to say,
some have kindled a fire of hatred that will
not be quenched in a few hours, just for the
simple reason, that they refused to contribute
and despised the idea of seeing the soldiers
have one day of rejoicing after four years toil
and privation.
The welcome home dinner is over, and we
never spent a more plCasafft day In our lives.
Everything passed off lovely and quiet.
It will be a day long remembered by all
who were present, especially the soldiers.
So, once more, in one voice, we tender our
thanks to the ladies and gentlemen, and may
you never weary in well doing, is the wish
of an OLD SOLDIER.
To the Soldiers of Bedford County.
BY A SOIJHEH.
Upon a resolution introduced iutp Congress
by Senator Foote, upon which many Senators
delivered their views, and much sectional ex
citement was aroused, Daniel Webster be
gan his second speech with this example of
logical precedent: "When the mariner has
been tossed for many days in thick weather
and on an unknown sea, he naturally avails
himself of the first pause in the storm, the
earliest glance of the Sun. to take his latitude
and ascertain how far the elements have driv
en him from his due course. Let us imitate
this prudence and before we float farther in
the waves of this debate, refer to the point
from which we departed, that we may at least
be able to conjecture where we now arc."
Let us now imitate this same prudence, and
avail ourselves of the first pause after the
storm of war to ascertain how far the elements
of political discord have driven some of us
from the true course of patriotic duty. Du
ring the last two administrations of the feder
al Government prior to the inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln into the office of Chief Ex
ecutive of the Nation, the people of the Uni
ted States were divided upon the question of
extension and non-extension of slavery.
The most powerful political party in the
North believing slavery to be an evil, desired
it to hp confined to its then present limits :
the South having grown up with the institu
tion, and knowing it to be peculiarly adapted
to the aristocratic views of a people who loved
to rule rather than be placed upon an equality
with the "greasy mechanics and small fisted
farmers'' of the North, desired it 3 extension.
No depredations upon the system of slav
ery where H already existed was meditated by
the party [of non-extensiouists, and so was no
toriously asserted and perhaps nearly univer
sally believed.
In 18G0 the people again went to issue, as be
fore. upon this question, and the result was the
great triumph of the non-extensionist. There
was no constitutional violation m the verdict
then given. There was now nothing to justi
fy a rebellion on the part of the South because
of their purported defeat, more than there had
been before on the part of the North.
The damnable secession dogma of State
Rights was made the pretext for the rebel
lion, which though long before meditated, fol
lowed the election of Mr. Lincoln to the pres
idency. The Sonth had not forgotten the
teachings of Calhoun, and now could practice
the lessons of his inspired liturgy. Nothing
could have been a better pretext for secession
in the hands of Southern fire-eaters than this
dogma, and, never, was it thought, with bet
ter prospect of success than now, could it be
applied.
It must prove its merits, some of them
were already known. Thedoctrine was known
to be so plausible that nearly every person in
the South would indorse it, and the ignorance
of the masses would see in it the cause of our
forefathers in the revolt against the tyranny
of Britain. They said the South can soon be
hurled in open defiance against the fedend
authorities, and the North may turn itseyesto
its government for its vindication if it will,
until the fourth of March next when we shall
be able to take care of ourselves; forforsootk,
many senators and representatives in their i
congress are ours: in their Cabinet Floyd is
*•**— *' l Thompson is oars,
and the President, is everybody's.
But the South was so eager for a distinct
nationality, that preparations were continual
ly making for months prior to the election in
1800 to achieve that end. The result of the
election for President, they well knew could
be determined by their will. Not one State
in the South could be carried by the non-ex
tensiomsts, while from the results of recent
preceding elections in the Northern States
with Mr. Douglas as their candidate, (the in
evitable one of the honest northern democra
cy before the democratic national convention,)
'they could well expect to win. They felt it
would be so. They were Just as well prepared
now as they could ever expect to be to estab
lish their own independence. The election
of the Republican nominee was determined
upon if ft southern man could not be made
the choice of the Democratic convention at
Charleston or Baltimore.
A southern man was not made the choice of
those conventions, and the prestige of success
perched upon the Republican party.
Mr. Lincoln was elected President, and
thousands of imaginary encroachments upon
the guaranteed rights of the South, by the in
coming administration were paraded before an
easily deluded people; aDd State after State
renounced its allegiance to the Federal gov
ernment. Our forts were captured, our
treasury robbed, our guns stolen, and thefra
mers of the constitution were said to have
forgotten to give the President the power to
"coerce a State.'' The old Public Functiona
rybeheld, with complacency, the disruption of
the State 8, whilst a patriotic people clamored
for his interposition against this treason until
their impatience could scarcely longer forbear.
Just censure fell upon him from all the news
paper presses that had supported Mr. Lincoln,
and not a few that had opposed him; but ma
ny indulging friends in the North beheld with
sorrow the error of his views, and by a series
of compassionate excuses in his behalf made
themselves the opponents of the policy that
the advocates of the iucoming administration
were endeavoring to urge upon him.
Of this, again.
tfgg The Ladies' Aid Society, of Bedford,
