be held in joyful remembrance by an ad
miring country.
I have said that the military power of
the rebellion is very near its end. The sur
render of General Lee has given it a mortal
wound from which it cannot recover. Lee
possessed the military brains of the Southern
Confederacy, and with his fall the whole
edifice will soon tumble to pieces. When
peace comes, as come it soon will we may
have a short account to settle with Louis
Napoleon and his protege Maximilian,
and perhaps we shall also be inclined
to pay our respects to Queen Victoria and
her Canadian possessions; but we desire
first to see the old Star Spangled Banner of
our fathers, with not a stripe erased or a
star dimmed from its azure folds, waving in
triumph over the broad liniits of a re-united
and happy country, honorei I and respected
throughout all lamls and on every sea. the
symbol of our greatness an 6 power among
tire nations of the earth.

STEAM FIRE ENGINES—THEIR ADVAN
TAOES—A VISIT TO HARRISBURO.—The
Union Fire Company, No. 1, of this city,
propose getting a Steam Fire Engine. With
this purpose in view, the Company, ata late
meeting, appointed a committee to proceed
to Harrisburg to examine the steam en
gines of the Hope and Friendship Compa
nies of that city. The committee consisted
of the following named gentlemen :—Capt.
H. E. Slaymaker, President; Capt. B. F.
Baer, Vice President; Geo. K. Reed, Esq.,
Treasurer; Col. Thomas Thurlow, Chief
Engineer, and Messrs. J. H. Hegener, Jr.,
Frank Hegener, David H. Wylie, James F.
Downey and William H. Shober. The com
mittee attended to the duty on Saturday
last, and left here in the 11.15 a. in. train,
arriving in Harrisburg about 1 o'clock.—
They took quarters at the State Capitol
Hotel, and after dinner, in company with a
committee of the Hope, and Mr. Theodore
Rogers of the Friendship, first visited the
house of the Friendship Company, on Third
_ ___. The engine of this company is very
neat and pretty, but not near as serviceable
as that of the Ilope. It was built by the
A moskeag Manufacturing Company of
Manchester, N. H.
After a short inspection of the Friend
ship's apparatus: and hall the committee
visited the house of the Hope, on Second
street, and made a thorough inspection of
the engine. Although not having as much
fancy work about it as the Friendship has,
a nrst ''lance will show that it was built for
durability and service. It is a beautiful
piece of workmanship, ;Intl its capacities
are severely and fully tested in the recent
great freshet at,„llarrisburg. It is of class
g and is Made to run by hand or horse
pow,•r. Its capacity is ii , -horse power; cyl
inder inches; pump Id Undies, and stroke
of rod 5 inches. It weighs 4,5110 pounds,
and can hi• drawn with ease by twenty men
to and: place in Harrisburg,. But seventeen
pers,ois inatined the ropes on Saturday
when it was taken to the place of trial. The
engine• is named the "W. 11. Kepner,"
after the honored President ol• the Ilope.
It NV:LS cult I,y slr. Button, of Waterford,

which Mr. B. claims for his engines are

they are entirely tree from jerking or oscil

him in furnish a much snore compact and

now on hand in the stable 23 head.
COPELAND NE', , .—These stables have
just peen oiwned at 45 West King street,
and the proprietors are consegeuntly new
candidates for public patronage. The ar
rivals during the past week were 44 head,
from various parts of the county ; 79 head
were shipped MT, and the number on hand
is rather slim compared with the report
of last week, when 51 head was the num
ber in the stable.
The hired girl alluded to in the Observer a
short time since as having made $lO,OOO by
oil has recently sold her interest for $75,000,
having refused the $40,000 first offered.
The oil well upon the corner of Holland
and seventh streets has now reached a depth
or six hundred feet. The indications of oil
continue to increase. The gas is abundant
and pungent in its odor. It is the intention
of the Company to bore about one hundred
feet further.—Erie Observer.
As an evidence of what the oil business
in this immediate locality will be during
the coming summer, we may state that on
the Graff & Hasson farm alone 115 wells are
to be put down this spring.—Off City Moni
tor.
The aggregate yield of oil per day in all
the oil regions of the United States is 6,000
barrels. On this, in its crude state, the av
erage profit is about five dollars per barrel,
so that the net profit on all the crude petro
leum produced is ?30,000 per day, or nearly
11,000,000 yearly.—Pittsburg Pis:patch.

GENERAL: Your note of last evening, in
reply to mine of same date, asking the con
ditions on which I will accept the surren
der of the Army of Northern Virginia, is
just received. In reply I would say, that
peace being my first desire, there is but
one condition I insist upon, viz.: that the
men surrendered shall be disqualified from
taking up arms against the Government of
the United States, until properly exchanged,
I will meet you or designate officers to
meet any officers you may name for the
same purpose, at any point agreeable to
you, for the purpose of arranging definitely
the terms upen which the surrender of the
Army of Northern Virginia will be received.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
U. S. GRANT,
Lieut.-Gen. Commanding Armies U.S
General-I received at a late hour your note
of to-day, in answer to mine of yesterday.
I did not intend to propose the surrender of
the army of Northern Virginia, but to ask
the terms of your proposition to be frank,
I do not think the emergency has arisen to
call for the surrender of this artny,
but as the restoration of peace should
be the sole object of all, I desire to
know whether your proposals would
lead to that end. I cannot therefore
meet you th a view to surrender the
Army of Northern Virginia, but as far as
your proposition may affect the C. S. forces
under my command and tend to the resto-
ration of peace, I should be pleased to meet
'
you at ten (10) a. m., to-morrow, on the old
stage road to Richmond, between the pick-
et lines of the two armies

the subject og peace. The meeting for 10

Will state, however, General that I am
equally anxious for peace with yourself and
the whole North entertain the some feeling.
The terms upon which peace call he had
are well understood by the South laying
down their arms. They will hasten that
most desirable event—save thousands of

WAs liis,rroN, April 11.—The Richmond
Whig of Monday, the loth inst., was re
ceived here to-day. It says: Whatever
may be the fate of the constitutional amend
ment it is as certain as sunrise that slavery
in Virginia is dead.
A National Bank of the Visited States is
to be immediately established in Richmond,
where subscriptions to United States bonds
will be received at the rates established in
the northern cities.
The aggregate value of the property de
stroyed foots up $2,146,240. Imposing as
these figures appear they are far short of
the truth, for the reason already stated,
that real estate was, before the war, tnva_
riablv assessed much below the value
which it would have commanded in the
Our list covers no more than the value of
the bricks and mortar destroyed.
All the hospitals of Richmond have been
taken possession of by the military author
ities, and are used for the care and comfort
equally of the Federal and Confederate
sick and wounded.
A number of Confederate surgeons left in
the city, have been paroled, to attend to the
Confederate sick and wounded.
The Chimborazoo, Huger Jackson and
Howard (n eve hospitals, the principal
Confederate hospitals, are used for the }I,
commodation of Federal wounded ; the
accommodation is about 24,000 beds, which
were left entirely by the Confederates.
Rebel prisoners to the number of 800 or
11)00 have been received in the city within
the past forty-eight hours and consigned to
the Libby prison. ,More than half of Pick
ens division has been brought in captured,
and the country between Richmond and
Amelia county is said to be full of Confed
erate soldiers, nearly all of them Virginians,
making their way to their homes.
Castle Thunder is used as a receptacle for
citizen prisoners, of whom quite a number
are gathered there.
Manchester was not at all disturbed by
pillagers on Monday morning last, neither
did the fire reach the trans-James district.
A pontoon bridge'spans the river now and
connects Richmond with Manchester, and
we hope business revived anew will per
vade both sections alike.
The churches of all the religious denom
inations
whose pastors remained in the city,
were open yesterday, and services were
conducted as usual, in the presence of large
congregations ; a good portion being com
posed of the officers and soldiers of the
Union army of occupation. In the Episco
pal churches the regular form of service
was observed, with the single exception of
the prayer which was made for all in
authority instead of the President of the
Confederate States, etc., as inserted in the
liturgy; as the United States is the power
in authority here, the prayer for the Presi
dent of the United States was of course
plied, if not said. The sermons preached
exhibited generally a very high order of
talent, eminently practical and religious,
and we are glad to know that the Union
soldiers—officers and privates—who were
listeners, entertain a high opinion of the
pulpit eloquence of the clergymen of
Richmond.

Saturday afternoon was rendered a re
markable day in Richmond, by the first
review and parade of the United States
forces occupying the city. These troops
consisted of the 3d Division of the 24th Army

Your note of yesterday re-
S. GRANT,
Lieut. Gen. U. S. A
E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War
Major General Godfrey Weitzel, in the ab
sence of General Ord.
The troops were under the immediate
command of Brig. Genl. Chau , . Devine. The
review was appointed for 2 P. M., in East
Main street, the left of the column to rest
on the outskirts of city, and the right west
ward towards the heart of the city. By the
hour of noon hundreds of citizens male and
female, had taken favorable positions, from
which a view of the military spectacle could
be obtained, and the windows and doors
for more than a mile along Main
street were crowded with spectators,
who watched with interest the manoeuvres
of the different regiments, batteries and
squadrons, as they appeared, wheeled into
-line and took up their position, until their
line, as far as the eye could see, shone in
the sun a glittering hedge of bayonets and
banners. Bands intercepted the lines at
intervals, and couriers went and came, car
rying orders and keeping both wings in
communication.
An hour beyond the time appointed
passed,Und yet Brig.-Gen. Devins and staff,
who was to first review the troops, had not
made his appearance; finally a flourish of
trumpets announced his approach, and the
General with a splendidly mounted and
appearing staff approached the line from the
left; the mounted band on the extreme right
striking up, "Hail to the Chief who in
triumph advances."
During the performance of this air, Gen.
Devins and stall road down the right, but
made a detour through 15th and Cary
streets, and rode rapidly to the extreme
left of the line on the outskirts. From this
point the review was accomplished; the
General and staff galloping from left to
right, the line coming to a present arms as
he passed, and the band striking up.
I len. Devins alone carried his hat in his
hand, and this distinction caused him to be
easily recognized by the citizens. At points
on the line he was heartily cheered by the
troops.
Long accustomed as iConfederate eyes
have been to the once all-pervading grey,
we do not believe that the sudden sulAtitu
tion of blue as the prevailing color is dis
tasteful to many of Our citizens, thousands
of Wiunn looked on the militae s y spectacle of
Saturday, not as the display of prowess on
the part of a triumphant foe, but as au ex
hibition of the military geniusand resources
of the United states, which all can again
contemplate With pride. None ofthe colored
troops appeared On the review or paradeon
the occasion, but a separate display of them
will probably take place before long.
One feature of the display was evident to
every observer, and that was the superior
drill, morals and discipline manifested by
the MCu in their marching and soldierly
bearing, the perfect condition of their arms
and equipments, finished to a dazzling
brightness; the batteries drawn by well-
trained horses, fmt :LIM substantially (sum

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 it, in 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 tine 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 rich 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.
Recent experiments demonstr ite that the
"Big Sandy " is not second to Oil Creek in oil
wealth as to quantity, wli le the quality is far
superior, and worth nearly twice the price of
the illuminating oil upon 011 Creek; the Big
Sandy producing the heavy lubricating oil.
The excitement is now in that direction. Nmn
hers of wells are now down and being bored
all along the waters of the Big Sandy. Oil was
struck % of a mile above this tract on the 711:
of February, A. D., 1005. There is a fifty barrel
producing well at the mouth of the Big Sandy,
this Is about a mile off.
The land of this company lies due south of
the property of the Sugar Creek 011 Company,
in the same belt, about miles; said Sugar
Creek Company struck a 70 barrel well in the
latter part of February, 1865, 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 effort 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 acareful ex
amination of our prospectus by all. We have
every confidence In our oil prospects, and ev
ery assurance that the stock. of the company
Will 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, in
nine out of ten times there is no oil there, out
side of Venango county. Venango county is the
oil county. Remembei that! Examine the list
of producing wells. We point to it with pride:
Cherry Run, Sugar Creek, Cognette Well, Reed
Well, Auburn Well, Big Sandy, Dalzell,. Mc-
Clintock, etc, etc., all in Venango county, in
close proximity to the " Lancaster and Venan
go Tract." There is oil wherever bituminous
coal exists, but not everywhere in sufficient
quantities to pay for boring and pumping. The
great reservoir of oil, or oil basin, lies in Venango
county, under 011 Creek, Cherry Run, Sugar
Creek, Big Sandy Creek, and the adjacent parts
of the Allegheny river.
There rdinoW only 50,000 shares of the stock
of this'company offered for sale, the rtst la all
taken.
