A STRIKING INSTANCE OF FIDELITY IN A
NEGRO.—About ten days ago MAIM' Levi
It. Brown, of one of the Missoari Cavalry
Regiments, stationed in Arkansas, arrived
in this city front Little Rock, the Capitol
of that State, on a visit to his relations in
this county, bringing with him a negro ser
vant, who has been with the Major for the
past three years. This negro is a stout,
athletic person of I; feet 3 inches in height, is
a genuine specimen of the unmixed African
race, as black as it is possible for black to
be, and as he wore the Federal uniform, he
attracted considerable attention. Major
Brown, upon arriving in this city, procured
temporary quarters for his servant at the
lintel of Mr. Jonathan Sprecher, in East
King street ; and himself went to visit his
brother, W. W. Brown, Esq.
Mr. Sprecher's Hotel at this time was the
headquarters of a nu n ber of bounty-brokers
and cOmmittee men from the various town
ships, all anxious to procure men to enlist,
and this negro was immediately surrounded
and solicited to become a soldier; all the
arts and appliances which the substitute
dealer could bring to bear were resorted to
for the purpose of inducing the negro to en
list, but . all in vain. One thousand, then
twelve hundred dollars were counted down
to him, and the advantages of earning so
large an amount of money in so short a
time, and the probability of his never again
having such an opportunity afforded him
of getting so much money, were most elo
quently portrayed, but the only response
from the negro was ;
"I came here with Massa, and I wont
leave him," at the same time turning up
the white of his eye in a quizzical and sig
nificant manner, as if to say, "You don't
cotch dis nigga—he's seed sogerin'
In the meantime the Major was informed
of the eilbrts making to entice his servant
to enlist ; but feeling certain of the negro's
fidelity, simplv. replied: " All the wealth
of Lancaster city 61Itn't bribe that boy to
leave me without my Consent," and gave
the matter no concern.
In the evening of the day of his arrival in
the city, Major Brown went to Mr. Sprech
er's Hotel to see if his servant could be ac-
Commodated there with sleeping quarters,
and upon being informed that he could not,
employed a colored barber to procure a
place for the negro to lodge at night. The
substitute brokers, having their eyes upon
everything going on, now thought they had
a sure thing of it, and bribing a number of
colored men to procure the negro to enlist,
by the promise of considerable sums of
money in the event of success—he was
again appealed to by men of; his own color
and race, and solicited to make the large
sum of money offered; but the negro's re
ply to their importunities was the same as
to the white men's: " I mine here with
masse, and won't leave him ;no use talkin'
to dis nigger 'bout Estill', yah! yell! yah!"
We understand Major Brown intends
leaving again in a few days to join his regi
ment, but leaves this faithful negro here,
having made arrangements with his brother,
Davis A. Brown, Esq., of Fulton township,
tins county, to employ hint on his farm un
til the Major calls for hint, which he intends
to do as soon as he again returns to private
WHERE ARE THEY?—During the recent
call to arms, while city and borough and
ward and township have been straining
every nerve to fill their quotas and avoid
the draft, " Locals " has been looking around
for the valiant individuals whose martial
ardor could scarcely he restrained last fall ;
and who were going to suppress thnp hell
born rebellion themselves, if Abraham
was elected and their services were
needed. " Locals " took occasion to remind
one of these gentle warriors of his duty at
once to enlist, if Lincoln were re-elected.
He replied " We will do so, sir ; all we
ask et' you i> not to discourage enlisting. -
" Locals - modestly replied that so far frotil
discouraging,no thing would give him great
er pleasure' than to see his friend with the
blues on. Yes, " Locals" has been looking
around for embryonic heroes, but he has
been compelled to mourn like Rachel for
her children because they are not ; and his
thoughts have run in this wise : Where are
the men who marched at night, about
five months ago :—Each with a ban
ner or a light, a grand inspiring show, Who
"hoped to march to Dixie's land, each with
a musket in his hand,.to slaughter all the
rebel band," • about five months ago? Where
are the men who drove fast teams, about
five months ago—who showed their zeal by
shouts and screams, and making whisky
flow? Who made their patriotic boasts,
that they would crush the rebel hosts,
or . die like heroes at their posts,"
about five months ago? Where are
the men who swayed the crowd, about
five months ago? Whose speeches were so
long a load, and bright with martial glow—
who wore small medals oil their coats, and
had their pockets full of notes, to buy up
Democratic votes, about rive months ago?
The draft is coming—where are those, who
bragged five months ago? Why don't they
march to meet their foes, and "crush them
at a blow ?" Abe calls, buta h! they an
swer not! They do not fancy being shot;
their blood has cooled, which was so hot
about five months ago. Yes, where are they?
Echo answers, " They are nowhere."
WINE.—A gentleman in New Jersey has
a vineyard of some 38 acres where he is cul
tivating the Portugal Samburg grape with
signal success, from which an excellent
wine is made, which is better than port,
and has been adopted for medicinal pur
poses in the hospitals of New York, Phila
delphia and Washington. The vines bear
fruit nearly as large as the Isabella grape; full
of juice and rich in saccharine matter, and
contain valuable medicinal properties. The
wine is the pure juice, without adding any
sugar or liquor of any kind, but it requires
fdtir years to perfect it. —Springfield RePtdir

'This wine is very excellent for females,
and is sold by H. E. Sla,ymaker, No. al

TIFIE GALLANT 79TH.—A correspondent
of the New York Herald gives the follow
ing account of some of the recent doings of
oar own gallant 79th. The letter is written
at Zion Church Ferry, which is seven miles
front Columbia, S. C., on the Saluda River,
and is dated February 16th. We suppose
the 79th is on the move with Gen. Sherman :
,Sl,Ol .4iipm of a Fight.—A few minutes
later Gen. Carlin was moving along in ad
vance of the Seventy-ninth - Pennsylvania,
Major M. IL Locher commanding, when a
number of mounted men, considerably de
niridizea, who as they rushed wildly past
the advance, reported to Gen. Carlin, '• A
regiment of cavalry are charging down upon
you." I happened to be by the General's
side at the moment, and, turning my eyes
to the Seventy-ninth, I found that the Major
comprehending the situation, had ordered
the old Pennsylvania veterans into line be
fore the General had time to give the corn
:nand. Skirmishers were deployed. Col.
Miles tin ew forward his brigade with a bold
front,and they pushed on in search of Wheel
er. But he didn't come ; this time he found
there was something besides cavalry on his
front, and he retreated.

Miles' brigade formed and resumed the
march for about half a mile, the Seventy
ninth skirmishing with the cavalry. Ar
riving at a small stream four miles from
Lexington, it was reported to the General
that a brigade of cavalry was forming on
the edge of the field for a charge. Miles
again formed line of battle and awaited the
coining of the enemy. Not showing him
sell; the brigade rushed forward, with skir
mishers deployed, but passed the woods
where the cavalry had formed, and found
them not; still they pushed on through
swamps, fields and thicket S--now in line of
battle, and a few minutes later through
dense thickets, by right of companies, for
three or four miles, without exchanging a
shot. At last mounted men were seen
moving in the woods beyond, and away
went the brigade for them. This time the
"enemy" did not' retreat. Still on the
brigade pushed, and just as the skirmishers
were prepared to give them a leaden billet
demi:, they espied the white star of the
Twentieth corps. A few minutes later they
had surrounded the supposed enemy, who
proved to be a mounted party of foragers
who had come in Oil our front after Wheel
er retreated.

AN INTERVIEW WITH EX-PRESIDENT
BuonANAN.—C. Chauncey Burr, Esq.,
editor of the Old Guard, thus describes an
interview recently had by him with Ex-
President Buchanan :
" We lately had the pleasure of spending
a portion of an afternoon with the venerable
es-President, James Buchanan, at his home
;it " Wheatland. - At the age of Si years he
is in the enjoyment of good health with his
faculties unabated, and his spirits appar
ently as fresh and joyous as when we last
saw him, the night before he sailed for Eng
land as minister to the Court of St. James,
twelve years ago. We have met no man
that evinces a profounder interest in the
affairs of our country than Mr. Buchanan,
and none who is more perfectly posted in
all the political movements of the day.
Even the local politics of the various states
seem to lie, as in charts, before his mind.
To those who are despondent of the ultimate
redemption of our country from the aboli
tion spoilers, a visit to " 'Wheatland" will
prove a great relief. Mr. Buchanan enter
tains no doubts of the final triumph of the
Democracy, and of the consequent salvation
of our country ; and he gives such reasons
for this faith, as will go far to remove the
doubts of the most desponding. For our
own part we have never feared for the ulti
mate triumph of truth and liberty, nor
doubted the overthrow and punishment of
Lincoln and the partizans in his despotism.
But we know of many who do doubt—a
visit to Wheatland would go far to reassure
them. Mr. Buchanan has prepared a docu
mentary history of the latter part of his
Administration, which will be published
the coming summer. It willthoroughly ex
plode the whole arsenal of lies which has
supplied powder for the Republican party
for four years, by the publi9ation of d.ocu
meuts, figures and facts which will not and
cannot be disputed. Such a history is most
timely. It will do much to unmask the
hypocrisy and crime of the despotsin power
and to save our country,

its character at Funk's last evening. This
was a portion of Van Amburgh's celebrated

were offered for sale, and we presume the
buyers who usually congregate at Funk's
were not anxious to invest in live stock of
this sort. Hay and oats are quite too high
to make it profitable to plow with elephants
or use cameleopards for light driving, and
the price of beef and pork is enough to
deter our wealthiest citizens from indulging
in the luxury of aNumidian Lion or a Ben- I

ST. LOUIS HORSE AND MULE MARKET
The market has been about the same as
last week, without change in price of Gov

ers. Government mules are selling at 8160
cash, or $175 in vouchers, subject to inspec
tion. There is but little demand for large
mules at present, but as spring is opening,
there will be a good demand and ready sale
for large mules at s'2oo to ti3oo per head.

LARGE SALE OF CATTLE.--OUI young
friend, Alfred C. Henderson, of Salisbury

Esq., of this city, has been very successful
the past season in raising and feeding a
large and fine stock orcattle—about 50 head
—l2 of which were sold on Saturday last to
B. F. Houston, Esq., for $250 per head. The
raising and feeding of so large a stock upon
a single farm is considered by many farm
ers a success seldom excelled.
HANCOCK'S VETERAN CO R PS. —We do
not profess to have any very profound
knoviledge of military affairs. We have
never been in service. To us, camp life,
the march, the bivouac, the preparation for
battle, the fierce shock of actual conflict;
all the pleasures and pains, the perils and
the "pomp and circumstance of glorious
war" are unknown, except us we have seen
them and heard of them at a safedistancefrom
the ensanguined field. But we have our own
opinions with regard to matters. Were
we about to enlist, we should never go into
a green regiment. We would most de
cidedly prefer to take our chance in some
veteran organization. Soldiering is a trade
that must be learned like everything else.
It takes a set of raw recruits a long time to
learn how to make:themselves comfortable,
even in camp. The veteran knows how to
adapt himself to the circumstances about
him. He learns by rough experience how
to make the most of all the appliances that
surround him, scanty us these often are.
The new organization, known as Hancock's
Veteran Corps, which is now being formed,
presents peculiar advantages. Men enlist
ing in it not only receive higher bounties
than ran be obtained elsewhere, but they
will be, in many respects, a privileged
body. They will be favored in very many
things over others. This is known to be so.
Veterans would be guilty of folly in enlist-
Mg in any other organization. Men who
are cognizant of the many advantages of
fered by it could not be induced to enlist
elsewhere. Captain W. W. Netterfleld,
who has been enlisting for this corps in this
city for some time past, has met with de
cided success. lie is an accomplished offi
cer, and admirably adapted to the business.
The men enlisted by him are forwarded to
Camp Stoneman, near . Washington city,
one of the best located and most admirably
arranged camps in the country. It is nut
likely they will be removed from there
for some considerable time to conic.

The War
From Monday's Agc
The entire campaign in North Carolina
is at length plain. Gen. Sherman appears
to have aimed at the capture of both Ra
leigh and Goldsboro. The Confederates,
however, have made a defense of Raleigh;
checked Sherman's march in that direction,
and compelled him to turn eastward.—
When Sherman left Fayetteville his com
mand was divided into three columns. He
left Fayetteville on March 14. The western
column marched northward along the
Cape Fear river towards Raleigh. The
centre marched northeast towards Bentons
vale, with the intention of capturing the
railroad bridge near there, on which the
Raleigh and Goldsboro railroad crosses the
Neuse. The eastern column, believed to
be composed principally of cavalry, in
clined further to the east, and marched to
wards the Wilmington and Weldon rail
road, south of Goldsboro. Schofield, with
his large army at Kinston, wits ordered on
March 14 to move west towards Goldsboro,
and Gen. Terry, with all the Federal troops
at Wilmington, together with the reinforce
ments that had arrived there during the
past two weeks, was orderbd to march north
ward along the Wilmington and Weldon
railroad, towards Goldsboro, eighty miles
distant.
The Confederates prepared for these
movements, and on March 16th stationed
all their available troops at Averysboro, on
the Cape Fear river, thirty-five miles south
of Raleigh, directly in the way of Sher
man's western column, which was advanC
ing northward from Fayetteville toward
Raleigh. Here, on March 16, was fought
the contest, of which information was re
ceived through the Southern journals of
last Tuesday. The Confederates were hi
trenched on the eastern side of Cape Fear
river. Hardee commanded. The righting
began on the 15th, and skirmishing was
carried on curing all that afternoon and
night, but the battle did not begin until the
16th. The fighting was desperate. Bragg
commanded the western flank of the Con
federate line. Sherman made repeated as
saults upon the Confederate position, and
each time was reaulsed. At dark on the
16th, the Confederates held their position.
Sherman, on the 17th, turned to the easK
ward, and the column marched to Bentona
ville twenty miles distant, to join the Fed
eral centre.
As soon as the Confederates discovered
that Sherman had turned aside, they aban
doned their camp at Averysboro, and began
to march eastward also. It is reported that
Bragg lost two guns, that had to be spiked,
but this is denied. Both the Federal and
Confederate armies were moving towards
Bentonville. On March 19th, the Federal
centre reached that place and was soon re
inforced by the western column from Av
erysboro. Bragg and Hardee also arrived
and reinforced Johnston, and at four in the
afternoon Sherman's camp was assaulted,
and he was driven back a mile, several
hundred prisoners being captured. Here
he intrenched himself and lay all night—
On the morning of the 20th the contest was
renewed, but after brisk artillery firing, the
battle lulled. No assaults were made by
either army, and both lay on their arms on
the night of the 20th. The neighborhood of
Bentonville will be the soene, no doubt, of
a fierce conflict.
On March 19th, the Confederates evacu
ated Goldsboro', removing all their stores
and p .

that day. Bentonsville is, therefore, the
great military centre. Sherman has troops
south of it, - and will bring Terry and Scho
field up on the eastern side. The Confeder
ates, with raliroad -communications from
Raleigh, will hold the Meuse river, which
forms a strong line of defense near lentons
vile.
Sudden activity is shown at Petersburg.
Forts Steadman and Haskell are two Fed
eral works near Petersburg and on the
outer line of Federal- defenses in that quar
ter. They are garrisoned by General
Parke's icintheorps Eachfort stands upon
the crest of a hill. Before daylight on Sat
urday the Confederates advanced in strong
force from Petersburg, and marched against
a portion of the Federal line east - of Fort
Steadman and at the foot of the hill on
which it stands. The line had been very
much weakened by detachments sent to
Elatcher's run and the Federal left.—
To &Ave it from the works was
easy, and the Confederates having
done so, turned to the westward, and
charged upthe hill to Fort Steadman. The
garrison was soon driven out and the guns
in the fort were turned upon the rest of the
Federal line. Gen. McLaughlin, the com
mander of Fort Steadman, was captured.
At the same time another body of Conteder
ates made a charge on Fort Haskell. It was
intended merely as a movement to cover
the former operation, and they soon with
drew.
Several attempts were made to recapture
Fort Steadman. These beingunsucces.sful,
reinforcements were brought from other
parts of the Federal line. After several at
tempts the Confederates were driven out,
and the fort was retaken. There was brisk
fighting all along the line in front of Peters
burg. At,Hatcher's Run. Gen. Humph
reys, with the Second corps, attacked the
Confederates and captured about one hun
dred prisoners. This prevented them
from sending reinforcements from that
part of the line. About two thousand Con
federate prisoners were captured. The
Federal loss is stated at eight hundred. On
Saturday evening everything was quiet.
The expedition which has left Eastport,
Miss., for a raid through Alabama, is com
posed of fifteen thousand cavalry, under
Gen. Wilson. They march in the direction
of Mobile. It is believed that Eastport has
been evacuated, as Atlanta was when
Sherman marched towards Savannah
This cavalry force left Eastport on the 15th
of March.
A large raid-under Gen. Stoneman, com
posed of six thousand cavalry, is marching
eastward through East Tennessee into
Southwest Virginia. A Federal infantry
force, fifteen thousand strong, will follow
it. Gen. Stanley will command.
The ebnfederates under Gen. Hodge have
defeated a Federal raiding party near Ba
ton Rouge, La., and captured some wagons
and mules. The contest took place March
7th.
On Thursday Sheridan was quiet in his
intrenched camp at White House.
From Tuesday's Age
Full details of the contests in front of
Petersburg on Saturday last, have been re
ceived. They contain very little that is
new. After the Confederates had been
driven from Fort Steadman, the Ninth
Federal corps was reinforced by the Sixth
corps. A,charge was made upon the Con
federate works, and on Saturday evening,
when the battle ceased, the Federal troops
were in possession of ai small portion of the
intrenched Confederate picket line. Other
wise both armis held their original positions.
There was brisk artillery firing all day
Sunday, but no general engagement.
The artillery duels were resumed yesterday
morning, but by noon everything was quiet.
General Grunt has made a detailed state
ment of his losses in the battler; He lost 166
killed, 1,201 wounded, and 713 missing,
making h total Federal loss of 2,080. The
Confederate loss in killed and wounded is
not known. The mun her of Confederate
prisoners captured was 1,883.
Sherman 's army on March; 21st, formed
a semicircle, The western flank being at.
Bentonsville, and the eastern flank at
Goldsboro'. On March 22, Sherman estab
lished his headquarters at Goldsboro', end
gradually moved the centre of his line for
until his troops were concentrated
between Bentonsville and Goldsboro'. Slier-'
man's line thced the north, and the Confeder
ates were north and northwest of it,with their
headquarters at Raleigh: Sherman now
has all his troops under his immediate com
mand, and his line stretches along the south
bank of the 'Neuse. The indications are
that he will march towards Raleigh, fifty ,
miles northwest of Goldsboro'. Sherman
has now at least one hundred thousand
men. Large amounts of supplies for his
army have been sent to Kinston. Sher
man's eastern flank is being gradually
swung around to the northward, so that his
line will face towards Raleigh. His troops
are believed to be some distance from
Goldsboro', on the road to Raleigh.
The greater part of the Federal troops
that are to besiege Mobile left New Orleans,
on March 18th, to march overland against
that city. General Canby, with a portion of
the land troops, is now in Mobile bay. On
March 18th everything was quiet at Mobile,
and the quietness bid fair to continue some
days.
A Federal account of the recent defeat of
a Federal raiding party from Baton Rouge
states that the Confederates lost six men,
and that they captured thirteen wagons.
On February 10th a small Confederate
vessel, called the Anna Dale, carrying over
gun, and of seventy tons burthen, was
captured at Matagorda bay, Texas.
There are reports that Sheridan has joined
Grant, but they are not well authenticated.
Geu. Crook is to have a command in
Grant's army.

LANCASTER AND VENANGO MUTUAL
PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION.
The property of the Lancaster and Venango
Mutual Petroleum Association consists of
Ninety-One Acres of Land, in fee simple, situ
ated on the eastern bank of Big Sandy Creek,
and on either side of Stony Run, which flows
through the middle of itin French Creek
township, Venango county. It presents a large
proportion of boring ground, amounting to at
least sixty acres.
Part of the land is covered with fine oak
timber, well calculated for the manufacture of
coal oil barrels, this alone is of great value in
that locality where thousands of barrels are
wanted daily to hold the tich products of sur
rounding wells.
It is evident also that large deposits of bitu
minous coal exist in the elevated portions of
this tract; they are however undeveloped.
Within one mile east and west coal mines are
rked on an extensive scale.
experimentsßecent demonstrate that the
'Big Sandy is not second to Oil Creek in oil
wealth as to quantity, wh le the quality Is far
superiorp roducing, and worth nearly h twice the price of
the illuminating oil u 011 Creek; the Big
Say the pon eavy lubricating oiL
Theexcitement is npw in thatdirection. Num
bers of wells are now down and being bored
all alon the waters of the Big Sandy. Oil was
struck 4 of a mile above this tract on the 7th
of February, A. D., 1865. There is a fifty barrel
producing well at the mouth of the Big Sandy,
this is about a mile Mr.
The land of this company lies due south of
the property of the Sugar miles; 011 Company,
in the same belt, about 1% said Sugar
Creek Company struck a7O barrel well in the
latter part of February, 1885, which sent the
stock up from one to twenty-four dollars ($24.00)
In a few days.
It is the determination of this company to
fully develop their whole territory. Subscribers
to stock can feel satisfied that no eff rt will be
spared on the part of the officers and managers
to bring out the oil, which must be within
reach of faithful labor. We invite a careful ex
amination of ourprospectus by,all. We have
every confidence in our oil prospects, and ev
ery assurance that the stock of the company
wit. soon advance in price.
The managers of this association, while they
do not wish to misrepresent, at the same time
beg leave to bring the stern fact before the pub
lic, that after all that is said about this, that
and the other tract of oil land and oil wells, 1n
nine out of ten-times there Is no oil there, out
side of Venango county. Venango county is the
oil county. Remember that! 'Pram tne the list
of producing wells. We point to It with pride:
Cherry Ftnn, sugar Creek, CognetteWell di ßeed
Well, Auburn Well, Big Sandy, Dalze Mc-
Clintock, etc , etc., all in Venango coup y, in
close prcalmity to the " Lancaster and Varian
mgo Tract." There Is oil wherever bituminous
all exists, but not everywhere in sufficient
quantities to pay for boring and pumping. The
countyeservoir of oil, or oil basin v lies in Venango
, under 011 Creek, Cherry Run, Sugar
Creek, Big Sandy Creek, and the adjacent parts
of the Allegheny river.
There are now only firl,ooo shares of the stock
of this company offered for sale, the rest is all
taken.

By anthority of the Secretary of the Treas
nry, the undersigned has assumed the General
Subscription Agency for the sale of United
States Treasury Notes, bearing seven ttnd three-.
tenths per cent. interest, per annum, known
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN.
These Notes are issued under date of August
15th,1864, and are payable three years from that
time, in currency, or are convertible at the
option of the holder into
•
11. S. 5.20 SIX PER CENT.
GOLD BEARING BONDS.
These bonds are now worth a premium of
nine per cent., including gold interest from
November, which makes the actual profit on
he 7-30 loan, at current rates, including in
terest, about ten percent.. per annum, beside its
exemption from State and municipal taxation,
which adds from one to three per cent. more, ac
cording to the rate levied on other property
The Interest is payable semi-annually by con
pone attached to each note, which may be cut
()Hand sold io any bank or banker
The interest amounts to
One cent per day on a 850 note.
Two cents " " " 100 "
Ten " " " 100 "
20 " " " " 1000 "
91 " " " " 5000 "
Notes of all the denominations named will be
promptly furnished upon receipt of subscrip
tions. This Is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
now offered by the Government, and it is con
fidently expected that its superior advantages
will make it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Less than $200,000,000 remain unsold, which
will probably be disposed of within the next 60
or 90 days, when the notes will u doubtedly
command a premium as has uniformly been
the case on closing the subscription to other
Loans.
In order that citizens of every town and sec
Lion of the country may be afforded facilities
for taking the loan, the National Banks, State
Banks, and Private Bankers throughout the
country have generally agree to receive sub
scriptions at par. Subscribers will select their
owns. •ente, inwhom they have confldeuce, •nd
who only are to be responsible or the delivery
of the notes for which they receive orders.
