railway Fostal system upon an extendel
When the new ears bt.gin, their trips on the
fovernl roads, such changes are to Le made in re
gard to the trains as will permit all the pout
office ears to be run in unison; and the mail
matter distributed no board, will ho taken dlrec.t
-ly from the cars of cacti of the lines to the cars
Of the other lines, and thus go forward with tbe
ordinary rapidity Of passenger travel.
Our city, which doe, not pes-ess the best of
postal facilities will be greatly benelltted,,,eVeu
by being provided with postollice ears on one of
Its routes, and It is to be Loped the system will
be adopted on other routes on which the citizeits
depend for their mall. Mall matter &email direc
tions would then reach its destination much
earlier thou now—in some cases several hours
sooner; but generally when the distance to be
levelled is a few hundred halm and more than
two offices are to be pasoel through, tire gain
will be a day; while regularity In the reception
of the mails will doubtless be secured in a great
er degree than at any timahltherto. New York
city. however, Is the centre of the system, do far
as it it ready to go Int o effect, and will, of course,
derive t.l4c greatest advantage from it.
From Chicago, railway postofilect are already
in operation. The country colt and west Is nt
present formed in two divisions, the boundary
icing considered earth and south from Indiana
polis; and cash division has its supcsintendent.
Special Agent Wheeler, of the Postoffice Depart
meet. is in charge of the eastern division. This
Includes the territory south to Washington, and
north to the lakes. Arrangements for the regu
lar connection of the system now having Its cen
tre at Chicago, mid the New York or Atlantic
system, are In coutemplallou, and will be put
Into effect at the convenience of the Depart
ment at Washington. .

mence boring , for 12M The oil Indlcatlont
along the creek neat' Rattarthlng, are eal4 to be
very good.
The Paineville (Ohio) TeiegrcTh says the
cations of oil In that vicinity are such as to Jas-:
tify the belief of experienced oil men that It can.
be found in largo quantities, and it is clearly to
the. Interest of all, parties that the matter be•
thoroughly tested. 'A company has .been organ
ized there for the purpose of boring for oil.
Considerable excitement exists at Hoboken,
N. J., on account of the discovery of petroleum,
commencingun the western slope of the Pali
ssides, and extending, en far up ns Plormont.' It
Is stated that this section of country is directly
in the strata of the oil regions of Pennsylvania.
The Tioga County Agitator says the oil fever
bas broken out In several localities in that coun
ty, and may yet a s sume au epidemic form. Com
panies are forming for the purpose of boring.
Rumor. of discoveries of oil In Hantion's Bot•
tom, In the valley of the Juniata In the western
part of Bedford county are again revived. Pre
parations for boring are making on the premises
of Alva Boylen, in Juniata township.
Yesterday Morning was the coldest wo hare
bed this winter, and the freezing up of the
more exposed water-pipes caused, much in
convenience in different parts of the elty. In
the afternoon, however, the weather moderated,
and by evening It had become far more eon-,
genial to sensitive noses and cars. The snow
to still on the ground, but there are indications
that it will soon disappear. -Nearly everybody
is on "the rampage" for a sleigh•ride, and In
meet 'eases where the temperature of the weather
does not cool the ardor of those who would nava
hire, the livery bills will—from $lO to $l5 nor
day being charged for a tangle team; but .there
seem to be plenty of customers even at these
exorbitant rates. .

A young Iceman named Italia Coder, aged
eighteen years, and residing in Boale township,
Juniata county, died recently from the effects of
swallowing a pin. It appears that she had spin

It lodged somewhere in her throat. Ifedleinal
aid was summoned, but in. Taus. lihc lingimi
for severat days and expired, rellcrod,im doubt,
from am most excrntiating agony. What adds.
to the sadness of this unexpected death, is the
absence of both her father and brother In the
army. Women and 'children should be warned
against the dangerona habit of carrying pins In

Effects of illicit Trade with the Insur—

Major General Canby, in a letter on the sub
ject of trade with the insurrectionary Statese
Faye: if it is canted ou in the manner and to
the extent claimed by the spedulature who now
contwd it, the ineviteble result, Lo his judgment,
will he to add strength and efficiency to the, re
bel. armies east and west of the Mississippi river,
equlefilent to an addition of 50,000 men, and
will stimulate Into active opposition to the me
cessful prosecution of our • operations rat least
10,000 men within our Owe lines. The. cotton
speenlators to the Missiseippi Valley have a pros
pective hope to have an additional 'lnterest Cm
every bale of cotton within the rebel Meas.
They know that expeditions within the enemy's.
country are followed by the captuin' of cotton or
Its destruction by the rebels to &Ciente ifs flail

to give information to the rebels of every oatt
templated movement. lie has riot aeon an expe
dition into the enemy's lines without finding
agents of this character in communicallmwith,
the rebels, giving' them information regarding
our movetnents, and nearly every clip - edition has
been Soiled to mine extent in' some of Ina objects
by information so communicated. Ile has now
several speculators, captured In the enemy's
country, swatting trial for giving Information to
the enemy, but the punishment of these' men la
no compensation for the evil they have moi
stened, and will not!socure us from further Ma
natee from the same came:
The rebel armies cast and west of the Missis
sippi river have been supported mainly during
the last twelve mouths by the unlawful Arad*
carried on upon that river. The city of New Or
leans, elnce its occupation by iur forces, has con
tributed more to the support !the rebel army.
more to the purchase and eq Ipment of privp
teem that are preying upon oar commerce, and
more le maintain the credit of the ribelloveri
ment in -Europe, than any other port - an
country, with the single exception of Wilming
ton.
Gan. Canby makes this statement from (wi
den:6e. He does not doubt that many ,or the
...sons engaged is traffic cif theinsttriectlontucy
Stela are loyal and honOmble men, but he deer
know that many of the intermediate agents em

The net proms of three transactions are estima
ted by the contractors themselves at $lO,OOO 000,
and It Is easy to see how much zeal wild 'be
evoked by Fonts of this magnitude. He cites
this as one of many Instances which bale wine

It is fought, with all the baseness of Judas Isea
riot but without his remorse.
