This Company, in , orporoted under the laws of the
State of Verdancy, (ride Pamphlet Lawa„ IS7S, pace
6.061.,) haring purchased and consolidated the many
tracts embraced In the annexed map, amounting In
the..s.t.rmrate to STAMP lIENIMEII AND TIFTT TIMER
Mal-LION ACRES IN TEE 4I3PLE, are about to open
their subscription looks for a li,nise number of
shares.
Parties snbs'•ribbag to partake In the profits of the
original undertaking.
Reery tract embraced in the schedule is free of
Royalty," and the greater portion tree of Disloy
alty, and R. is more than confidently expected, that
prior to the end of the Rebellion, or some other time,
the dividends, instead of setni.dallv, will be declared
semi-hourly, or more so, as the direet..rs may fled
how !heir bane accounts stand.
As n safe, paying sad permanent tnemtment, It is,
perhaps, the best in the world; sad owlet; to the
small amount of the eapital, for speculation, the tn.
determents are unequaled.
A large portion of the stock k held by parties in
13:obdienag, and the Mountains of t he
Moon. which Insures a wide spread interest in te
concern.
The Directors are men of undoubted integrity, as
a careful examination of their names will chow.—
They will devote their best Jodgment mid energy to
the management of the affairs cm the Company, and
to the cart and sag sesinco of the money of the
stockholders. As an es - Mental of their dialuterested
nms, it need only be stated that the lands were sold
by them to the Company at only 7,40 !per cent, in
advance of the price they originally paid, and they
are net &shame of oecurrting the position of Direct
ors, utter they have disposed of their stock to the
best advantage.
The lands of de Company are easily accessible,
and may be reached inn few years by a line of bal
loons recently established by the Company. It is
the earnest desire of the Directors, that all peraote•
die geed to subsetibc for stock, shall visit and tx
amine :behinds themselVes as fa the rae.in Oij
Companies. and they will be taken in. and go trit in a
balloon, without further charge, as this company has
been established for the purpose of making money
for the stockholders, and not fur the originators of
this great enterprise.
This is the largest and best developed tract owned
by the Company. As the Directors are welt known
as men of undoubted veracity, and are willing to
conch for the truth of the description, what follows
can be taken as absolutely true.
The lame elraft on this tract was sunk to the depth
01'16,000,011 feet l 1-10 limbos. In sinking the shaft,
a careful record was kept of the different strata, and
It is now on file, and can he seen at the offioe of the
Company, with the Wi,120-1 affidavits attached.
A row extracts will show the wonderful resourcee
of the tract
" April let, at the depth of 18X feet, a vein, 25 feet

THE SIOONSILIISE TUACT.
This tract is appropriately named Moonshine. It
USA ptirchaSed when the full moon exerten the same
Influence upon the oil underlying the land as it does
upon the tidewater—it caused the nil to rise In the
Risures of the rocks, to such an extent as to Inun
date the whole tract. It was first called Lana tract,
and having been purchased on Got, some evil die.
pottedVansotit.eplled It the.. Luna tic tract. Aa this
ettreognomen was flk - elfto' damage the proep-'cts
of the:Company, the Directors, at a lull meeting,
changed It to the 11nonshine.
The land on this tract Is heavily timbered, with
Mahogany, R.zewood, Ebony, Sandalwood, Nlght•
hlOOUling Cerens, Century Plants and other rarkties,
suitable for building purposes, and the mautitacture
of hermetically sealed Munt.
Upon this-land, and along the banks of Cheat Riv
er, were found some tine diamonds of the itrel watt r.
The specimen on exhibition at the Mike of t he Com
pany, was picked up on this tract, It la a large and
splendid Jewel, which far exceeds in lustre the fa
mous Kobinoor, or any other diamond since the
great Mogul was cut. The ground was so rich in
precious stone, that the Surveyor whet first laid It,
diScOrered—ero be had half completed Ills survey—
that h« hail a large Carbuncle on to ,
The moat remarkable do,orery made was that of
an antique copper coin, with heads on both aides ;
also, sorer , loaded dice, marked cants, and lottery
tickets These arc ell-convincing proofs that
Companies must have been known to the remote
ages of antiquity.
I=
This, though a small tract, embracing only 11'1,000.-
000 acres, is worthy of a careful examination of al:
who dt,lre to Invest In the stock of the Compan y.—
The first strike was a lame temn of originators of oil
schemes Raell one had a prospectus containing an
aecunde description of the property, and stating
what percentage per month each Company would
pay from Its start. It it only necessary to :tile that
each proapt,tue was us truthful and correct in even
feature as this ono. It was evident, from their up
peurance, that their only anxiety was to make mon
ey for others without a thought for themselves.—
Ilere also was found a corral list of the incomes of
all persona not connect., with the company.
Immediately succeeding was a vein or Lawyers.—
This was an unfortunate s.rike, and far from profit
able. Upon being landed safely, they claimed that
as they were part of the land, they had a tie in It.—
Our learned legal adviser contended, upon the trial,
that as they bad not been in th>swssion or the
face, or soil, for twenty-one yea.-s, they 11,,d no title ;
and further, that as the vein immediately under them
wa..s brimstone, it was evident that they were more
than half-way down, and should go to the other side,
Our Pe-sident, also of the legal profession, objected,
on the ground that there was enough of the fraterni
ty for the good of the cotnrtinnity, without their
presence Toe Judge decidod in favor of both per
ties, and LlLlViild a compromise. Till 3 Nas done in
the used manner. The attorneys of the company
took five-nisiths, and the other side took tite niotics,
leaving the balance of the property fur the company.
This valved protracted littratirm, and heavy .gaol s,
us oar attorneys were Batt:111A, and asked no I antler
compensation.

PATRIO'TII3H IN NORTH OLROLDIA.
Mr. R . thardion, the Tribune correspondent who
lately escaped from the rebel prison at S 3 lisborv. N.
C.. in his nenlunt of the adventures of him
self and his companions, pays the following 'tribute
to the patriotism which they found among the peo
ple of North Csroflna :
For the first two or three miles we found only two
or three white Union people; but relied exelmively
upon the negroes. ,Whenever we met one, male or
fernalc, of mature years. we told them, with •,.erfeet
frankness; We arc Union prisoners, escaped from
Salisbury, trving to reach oar howt n, and we want
you to help us" They invariably responded prompt
ly; sheltered us whenever they could, with snything
litre safety, and always fed and piloted us So far an
their fidelity was concerned, we felt just as safe
among them an If we had been in the Tribune editor
ial rooms.
In fifty miles we struck the mountains. From
that point to our lines, LY/0 wiles by the route we
,riveted. we were constantly among white friends.—
With what gladness these men and women of the
moun tain,_who have all suffered inconceivably for
their fidelity to the cause—many of whom have had
their nearest and dearest relatives murdere , t—wel

"In fact I did little else all night. We are malady's ,

"To that last clause I say Amen with all my

"Bat Indeed you are not to deny me. We can
not fall into the ranks and field for our country.

than those who simply bear of a war. More than
that, you can hardly help yourself out. You can
not leave Chattanooga In that uniform ; you would
never be permitted to pass the gates. You can not
procure a disguise without attracting attention, and
attention, as 1 have told you, means here suspi

Of halt Roman and half Greek noses, which elan

great men have boasted; such were Alexander the

It is impossible to conceive more bentlftil faces
then those which have the Greek nose; but the
owners are men ol two much refinement to be al

who was a nasologiat, or nose philosopher, wanted
any work well done, he asked for a man with plenty
of nose. "Strange as it moy appear," he says,
I generally chdse a man with plenty of nose."

The opinion that venomous serpents do not eat
the animals they kill by the poison of their fangs,
like many other popular notions, turns out to be an
error. This I know from my own personal obser
vation ; and for the satisfaction of naturalists a few
particulars are given. My specimens were plead
in a box, covered with glass, and having a 'wooden

ventilation, were made in the sides of the box, but
too small tb allow the escape of even a mouse.—
Birds, when put Into the box, in the division includ

over it, for hours , unmolested ; but at length when
In a favorable position, the snake would strike the
fatal blow, and death emitted in a few minutes.—

bird, when struck, at once commenced gemming.

twice, seemed to droop and sicken rapidly. In
three or four minutes from the moment it was bit

I observed in cases where fascination alone was sup
posed to be employed. In this case the charm was
a fatal one truly, being nothing less than the poison
of the serpent coursing through its veins.
The birds placed in the box were not swallowed
by the rattlesnake, seemingly, as afterward appear
vd,
because it would not Wet:father Its Jaws, so as to
be utompared for defense while the human eye
rested upon it. In experimenting on the non•ven
omone species, it was found that they, also, would
not take their food when any person was present;
but that when alone and secure they would raven
ously : one of them, the common bull snake, having
eaten nine birds in a few boom. Profiting by UM
discovery, a rat, two-thirds , grown, was thrown to
the rattlesnake, when it immediately struck it
twice. The victim soon exhibited elms of dying,
and the box was closed and locked. Upon examin
ation, fifteen minutes afterward., the rat bad been
swallowed, and the serpent's thickness proportion
ably increased.
by this experiment, and others similar, It was as
