M'Donald, we learn, on the authority of Lt. Wm. F. W ilkinson, of Woodberry, struck oil at a depth of 110 feet, on the Oth of January. 1866, which now pumps by hand at the rate of two hundred barrels of oil per day of the best lubricating quality, gravity 27. We are heartily glad to hear that our Woodberry friends have been so fortunate. There are but few in this coun iy who have gone into the oil business that have been decidedly successful, and we are certainly very happy to know that it has been reserved for an exclusively Bedford co., company to prove so highly successful.

BI.AT KWOOI> AND THE REVIEWS. L. SCOTT & Co., of New York, have laid English readers on this side of the Atlantic under great obligations, by their reprints of Blackwood's Magazine, and of the four British Reviews, at prices that bring them within reach of most persons who desire to take them notwithstanding that these publishers honora bly pay a copyright to the British publishers, which, of course adds largely to their cost. There are now few educated persons, or even persons who have in any way become interes ted iu the numerous wonderful questions <?f this wonderful age, or in literature in general who do not find it nesessary to take one or more of the great Reviews. To professional men and intelligent, then of business who have not sufficient leisure to read even the best books continually issuing from the press, the Reviews are indispensable and at the same time sufficient to impart a comprehensive view of the merits of books, the nature and merits of the questions and enterp rises of the day, and of the intellectual state and progress of the times. Nearly every uumber of each Re view contains among its variety of articles, one or more articles of very superior merit, such as is more than au equivalent for a whole year's subscription. 1 he four Reviews re-published by Messrs. Scoot &. Co., are generally considered as the Great Reviews and Blackwood has been justly placed in ihe same rank. Whoever dispenses with reading publications of this class, what ever may be his general information, will soon be altogether behind the times in which he lives—and in these times a person may soon get very far behind.

THE SOUTHXRX PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.— We clip the following extract from the Uni ted States Railroad Register from the Pitts bnrg Commercial: "The Southern Pennsylvania Railroad, with which a distinguished railroad man is identified by action and association, is now, we believe, located and ready for allotment of work to contractors. The road will be built , oast to the Cumberland Valley Railroad, which latter, we hope, it will absorb by mer ger, aud thereby, whilst carrying the South ern Pennsylvania Railroad east to Harrisburg, will at the the same time infuse new ideas, new vitality, new usefulness into the Cumber land Valley Railroad, against which we hear more complaints than we care to chronicle; and which, for the interests of the Cumber land Valley, ought to be absorbed by consoli dation with the Southern Pennsylvania Rail road, which would then have its eastern ter minus on the Susquehanna river and its west ern terminus at Connellsville on the Ohio river," It is quite probable that part of this line will be put under contract within the next two mouths, at least we hear it rumored, that this is the intention. It cannot be put under contraettoo soon for this section of the coun try. Our Armies—Past and Present. THERE are in New York to day several hundred returned soldiers, who are home less, houselss, and hungry. They have no ..-heifer at night save the Police station hou se.-; no food, save the coid victuals obtained by begging. It can not he wondered at, white an army of nearly a million of men, many of them foreigners and strangers, has been disbanded by the Government, that a considerable number should find their way to this city. Many of them have been ren dered destitute by sickness consequent upon exposure; majiy, unable almost to speak English, are victims of cruel imposition; many have still claims upon Government for arrears of pay, which, when settled, will make them comfortable, and many doubtless have been reduced by their improvidence and intemperance. All the agencies, which were so zealously efficient duriDg the war. have censed their operations, and there is no as ociation to which these destitute men can apply for aid. Under these circumstances, the Trustees of the Five Points House ol Industry are compelled to appeal to the Christain and patriotic public for aid and support. These men without invitation congregrated around the doors of the institu tion, and they have uot beep sent hungry away. Upwards of one thousand meals are daily given to them—meals of the most fru gal and economical kind—and temporary accommodation is being prepared to give them shelter by night. The men express a willingness to work on the most moderate terms, and the Trustees have made arrange mentsby which those in the various section of the Union who desire it, may help the men who have served their country in the hour of trial, and leave them no longer un caredforin the hour of triumph. Yester day a gentleman from Tennessee applied for twelve laborers, and immediately able bo died men engaged to go with him for one year at ten dollars a month and board. If the friends of the soldier in any part of the country will only inclose the cost of trans portation and a description of the kind of laborers wanted, to the Superintendent, hi will immediately forward a fitly selected man It should be remembered 'that many are crippled, maimed, and reduced, and that greater charity will be evinced by authoriz ing such to be sent than in applying for able bodied men. Thus in a few weeks all these war worn soldiers can be provided for. Meanwhile the work and the wants of the Institution arc more than doubled. The meals now given cost about sixty dollars a day, and this expenditure must be continued for some weeks. The public are urgently invited to come and see the class of men thus supplicants for aid. at their frugal din ner at one o,clock, and to judge as well of the necessity as the economy of the work.

S. C. I. ) BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS. Jan. Bth. 1866. / MESSRS EDITORS: Since my last, aeverel incidents have trans pired with us, worthy of notice, and one or < two of which, I purpose noticing. Some four weeks since, quite an influx of filibustering element made its appearance upon the streets of Brownsville, the chief of whom was one R. Clay Crawford signing himself as ''Major General of the Republic of Mexico," and pre tending formerly to have been on the stafl of President Johnson; and that he came by his order etc. Things for a few days looked lively especially as he promised "that in a week the 'nigs' would cross the river. Of course on making his debut, it was necessary to show the Mexicans that he was at heart right, by adopting their tactics, viz Procla mations. Well he let oft' one some four or five colums in length, and like a skillful ar tillerist alter the discharge of hispeice waited to see the effect but alas where he looked to see the walls in ruins, there stood the "He roic City" the theater and survivor of an hundred revolutions. In fact we could see no visible effect, as the result of this most terrible broad-side. Since then he has at tempted several strategic manceuvers, but with alike effect. In fact it turns out that It. Clay Crawford, was a Lt. Col. of a Yankee Regiment, and dissmissed the service. Ope of the most important, as well as foolish tricks was attempted on the night of the Ist inst. A |- French "Tug" lay on the opposite siffe of the river, and in the absence of anything better, they concluded to trj> to capture her, for privateering purposes, Pto embroil the U. S. Government in a drff caitjrwith the French. Bo a reward of $7,000 j OCtie was offered for her delivery on this sfti/of the river, when a young man, named Jas. Murphy, 2d Ft. 19th U, S. C. I. concluded to try the boat. His plan was first to take a large supply of rum, (rather more than he could carry) then came to the regiment and ordered the Ist | Sergt to "detail him 12 men and one sergt. well armed whom betook in company with two co nfederates, (fortune seekers) one from New York City, the other an ex-rebel cap tain, with this force they pulled directly for the "Tug." When withiu a short distance they were halted, but not complying they were fired upon from all points. Finding they were anticipated they pulled back, but not until our boys had poured several rounds into the French and had twooftheirown num ber wounded. On their reaching the shore they were all arrested, and placed in the guardhouse. The case was investigated by the Provost Marshall, and these facts were elicited, "that the men were not to blame be lieviug that they were lawfully employed." The Bergt's story was brief and satisfactory, merely saying. I was detailed by the Ist Sergt. to report to Lk Murphy of my compa ny and regiment, for duty. For what pupose was none of my business, nor did I ask. My duty is to obey the orders of my superior offi cers. 1 however found after we were fired on that we were wrongfully employed, I theu assumed command of the boat myself, and ordered my uien to pull for shore, whereupon arriving the filibusters deserted me, and we were arrested." The white men were captur ed in Brownsville the same night. One of the ex -rebels had a bullet through the wrist. They are still under guard. Down the river at Bagdad, a place of some 7000 inhabitants the filibusters were more successful, having captured the place and some 200 Austrian troops, stationed at that point. All the movable property is said to have been crossed to this side. The French vessels have been shelling the town, but as they cannot cross the bar, little was done. Many Blue coats are said to have beeu of the party, es peeialy of the "culled" pnrsuasion. On the 3d the Liberals, met a severe chastisement some miles out from Matamoras, being sur prised by the "Conca Gurrillas" a battallion of ex-rebels, and Yankee deserters in the employ of Gen. Mejia, at two dollars per day. They killed eleven and captured twenty-three whom they intended to garrote but General Wheitzet, entered a protest in the name of the United States, against this unlawful cru sade. The demand was heeded for the time being. He was induced to adopt this conrse on account of the resolutions in Congress, but of which action we are as yet ignorant. We hope the Government may soon put an end to the unholy proceedings in Mexico. Should things continue thus for another year the Btates adjoining American territory will he entirely depopulated. The present state of affairs is bringing on this border, all theadmi tnrers, theives and cut throats from all ports of the Union. One of the most brutal and wholesale murders was perpetrated abont 7 miles from here on our side of the river there being no less than four men who were guard ing cattle on the prairie all of whom were kill ed. As yet. we have no light on the matter. We have no idea, as to the course intended to be pursued by us, bnt hope Congress may do something. The people of Matamoras are a'most unanimously in favor of annextion to the U. S. I hope it may be so, as that alone will give security to her people. \\ e have just received a circular from Maj. Gen. Phil, -ffieridan calling upon us to remain "perfectly neutral pending the action of Congress." What does it mean'.' More anon. F. 11. BEDFORD MARKET.

Jan- 21 ft, at his residence, in Harrison tp., Mr JOHN McVICKER, in the 68th year of his age By this dispensation of Providence, a breach has been made too wide to he easily filled. His loss will be deeply felt, both in the domestic cir cle and in the church of which he was an officer. Viewing this act of Providence from a human stand point, we are ready to exclaim, "how strange!" But regarding it from the higher stand point of faith, and looking forward to the ultimate purposes of God, who is too wise to err and too good to bo unkind, we arc constrained to say though it be through tears, "It is the Lord's do, ing—it is well." The deceased was not a stranger to the rod. lie had passed through much afflic tion. Now he is released, and we trust has ex changed his wilderness dress, soiled with the du.it of travel, for the pure white robe which the ran somed wear.
