PROM ATLANTA -. TEE CITY' SHELLED BY OUR
POItCES.
Our siege guns have - again opened on Fort Sump
ter, in consequence of the plainly visible rebel activ
ity in repairing it. The bombardment 'stile heaviest
of any the Fort his Buffered 'during the past eight
months. The bring, thus far, has beentrom the land
batteries, unaided 'by those of the fleet. Faultless
range has been secured by the gunners; each shot,
when striking, doing splendid mention. The
appearance of the fort has'- been much alter
ed within the last few days; in fact, so great
is the change that one would hardly recognize
the heap 01 ruins he sees lying in the water between
Cummings' Point and the oppositeshore as ever
having formed a part of a 'formidable fort.. Some
times a single heavy shot will 'cause a half-ton of
debris to fall into the , sea. A complete passage or
lane has been made through about the centre, the
result of constant firing at a given point in the wall.
So wide and deep lathe passage that a clear view
of a considerable portion of Sullivan's Island is
obtained. For some time 'past it has been a matter
of doubt whether the rebels have guns mounted in
SuMpter. Information has been lately received by
Gen. Foster which throws much light upon the sub
ject. It has been, ascertained beyond a doubt that
the rebels have rive-guns on the channel side of the
fort. These guns are all of heavy calibre. Two of
them are In a good condition, one is in .poor condi
tion, and the remaintngtwo are disabled, or,• at any
rate, are not in working order. Beside the heavy
guns, they have four 12• pound howitzers, which
at night they hoist by means of ropes and pulleys
to small platforms on the top of the masonry. These
howitzers are trained in such a direction as to
oppose the efforts of an assaulting party. Before
daylight, the pieces are lowered down into a recess -
of the fort, and are thus invisible to parties outside.
The enemy does not fire from either the light or
heavy guns. His intention is to wait until the. mo
nitors get between the fort and Sullivan's Island
before he opens. The lower eiteemates have never
been damaged; they have simply been encased by
the falling debris. All around the interior of the
fort is a, ditch filled with water. The earth .and
other material displaced in the forming of the ditch
have been thrown up to make a sort of parapet.
Two borairproofs have been erected near 'the Sa
lient. 11 - new magazine has also been contracted,
the old one having been blown up by our guns.
Since the late bombardment commenced the rebels
have lost over one hundred in killed and wounded.
No casualties occur unless the men are at work on
:posed parts of the fort. The bomb-proofs and
lower oasemates afford all the security required. It
is understood the bombardment will be continued
until Gen. Foster is satisfied that the destruction
of the work is complete.
The Port Royal New South gives following de
scription of the general aspect of the affairs on
Morris Island :
The jails constructed at Hilton Head for the ac
coneraudation of the rebel prisoners who are to- be
sent to Cummings' rointivere transferreffto Morris
Island at the first of the Week. While the laborers
were engaged erecting , two of the jails, the rebels
commenced shelling from James •Island. Two or
three of the missiles struck the — roofs of the 'build
.ings. The shelling of Charleston - is , str-every-day
atuusement•with the 3d Rhode Island., boys. ,Since
the announcement by the rebel GeheralJones that
Union prisoners wereplaced•under flre r the number
of daily shots into the "Cradle of Secession" lutaln
creased to a most satisfactory extent.
The weather in this portion of the country has
been decidedly hot. From 4 A.. M. tole A. as. the
weather is unusually oppressive, from the fact that
the breeze dies away and leaves us without scarcely
a particle of stirring atmosphere. The entire aspect
of affairs, however, is greatly changed within the
past few months. The topography of the island has
undergone numerous important changes within that
time. The sea has been the principal agent in bring
ing about the results referred to. Its constant
dashing against the banks and ridges of sand
has washed portions of them completely away,
while the beach at low tide has been Made
one vast extended plain, reaching far out toward
the water. A peculiarity of the island is the fact of
the almosttotal absence of vegetation. On the side
near the marsh a spare growth of rank weeds re
lieves the eye of the monotonous glistening of the
heaps of sand. A few stunted trees also may be ob
served. In approaching the island from the direc
tion of the light-ships,a beautiful sight is presented
to the eye at beholding the , rows and clusters of
white tents that cover the lower district. The at
tractiveness of the scene is considerably heightened
by the presence of regimental flags which are placed
at intervals from one to the other end of the island,
not forgetting those which float in proud defiance
`over captured Wagner and Gregg. Who can look
upon those flags and not be reminded of the events
that have transpired to place them there 1
ATLANTA.
Trill BATTLE AT DIMS BOTTOM ON ISTBDNESDAY
- The attack by the rebels on General Foster seems
to have resolved itself Into an attack on the rebels
by General Hancock, The rebels were evidently
preparing to move upon our position, and their
formidable dispositions of troops induced General
Grant to despatch troops to General Foster's as
aistance. •
On Tuesday afternoon last, at 4X o'clock, the 2d
Corps, under General Hancock, soon after followed
,by the cavalry corps of Sheridan, withdrew from
its position on the left of our line, and marched
rapidly toward Point of Rocks on the Appomattox,
which was crossed early in the evening, Barlow'a
division, preceding Mott's, formerly 131rners, and
Gibbon's bringing up the rear. An order had
been issued during the day by General. Hancock,
announcing the initiation of a movement where
success depended mainly oil the discipline of his
troops, and instructing any one who ,might full
into the bands of the enemy to refuse to give
the -division or. corps to which they had been
attached. As is seldom the case, but Jew stragglers
brought np the rear of the rapidly-marching
column, which, at 3 A. M. Wedneday, reached the
James river at Jones' Neck, and silently crossed
over to Deep Bottom on a muffled pontoon, which
bad been laid several. days previous. A brigade of
the 19th Army Corps, with its left resting.on Four
mile creek, formed theright of Foster's line at Deep
Bottom, but took no part in the action. Soon after
daybreak Sheridan's cavalry, following the2l Corps,
crossed the river, and taking the New Market road,
oecupied a position several miles on the right of the
infantry, which immediately on crossing had de
ployed into line of battle, the 3d foaling the right,
the Ist the centre, and the 2d the left. From the
point of crossing a road running through an open
field leads to another bordering a pine forest, and
running nearly at right angles with the former.
Along this road the enemy had thrown up , a strong
line of rifle-pits, which.was occupied by Kershawle
division of South Carolinians. Near the junction
of-the roads mentioned were posted six pieces of
artillery, four of which afterward fell into our
.poS
sessidis. Skirmishing commenced at 7% o'clock, our ,
men steadily advancing under a.' sharplire from the
enemy in,the pits.
The artery of the enemy iminediately opened,
but so inaccurate was the range of l ately guns that
but very few casualties were sustained on oar side
from the shelling; In the meantime the gimboat
Mendota, lying in the river opened - with 100-pound
Parrotts en the enemy, and Judging from the splin
tered pines in close proximity to the rebel works,
with buck effect as to hasten the abandonment of
their rifle-pits.
At 83 o'clock the skirmish 'line of Barlow's divl-
61016. consisting of the 183 d Pennsylvania, Colonel
Lynch, the 28th Massachusetts, Captain Flemming„
and the sth New Hampshire, allajor Larkin, Sup
ported by the 26th Michigan, Captain Daily, charged
the enemy's line, and by. a skillfully • and rapidly
executed flank movement - drove the rebels from
their pits, capturing in the assault the four 20-pound
Parrott guns before mentioned, together with seve
ral prisoners. The enemy then fell back in confu-,
sion over a mile, and, as is their wont, immediately
commenced entrenching in a commanding posi
stomion..
Owing to the n difficulty of planting artillery, e
delay took place in posting our guns and following
up the temporary success we had obtained. At sun
set on 'Wednesday night, however, a battery was got
into position in lull view of the rebel line, and was
about to open on the enemy, when they were dis
covered falling back behind, where it was believed
they would C0111111111)00 the construction of a new
line of entrenchMtnt,s. The firingion both sides was'
heavy for an hour or two, but it is asserted that the
losses on both sides were insignificant. The 34 Divi
sion of the 2dlCortie suffered severely. The loss
of the 110th Was partiCularlY heavy, becanae of its
exposed position.,

' The Richmond Enquirer of the 26th ult. prints the
subjoined deapatch. from Gen. Hood as important
news
ATLANTA, July 23,1864.
Hon. J. A. Seddon, Secretary of War:
In the eugag.etuent yesterday we captured eigh
teen stands of colors instead of are, and. thirteen
guns instead of twenty-two, as previously reported.
Brigadier Gen. Mercer was not wounded.
All is quiet to-day, except a little picket-dring and
occastonalshella thrown into the city..
J. H. Soon, General.
From this It will be seen, says the Enquirer, that
the battle, begun under such favorable auspices on
Friday, and continued so . suocessfully, was not re
sullied on Saturday nor on,Sunday. General Hood,
in Lie first despatch attar the fight, was mistaken.as
to the number of cannon captured by, our troops.
ThIS 1B a small matter, .11 he had killed McPhee
son and driven Sherman across the Chattahooohkh.

Refugees from Rebeldom CatrM
A Cairo (Ill.) correspondent says
•
"Refugees are still arriving at this post in large •
'numbers. They are devoid of clothing; food, or
money, and repose upon the levee, unprotected by a
friendly roof, and without any means of helping
themselves. In fact. many of them do not appear to
desire to help themselves. If they desired it ever so
much, however, they could not. Ninety-five of them
poor houseless wretches, driven from their homes at
the South by the cow cription officer and the feared'
starvation for themselves and little" ones, - arrived
last night on the steamer Belle - of St. Louis. As I
write, the most helpless of thernuniber lie upon the
hard ground,.wlthin my view. covered only by the
filthy rags .they have brought from Secessia, the
thermometer at ninety, and their unprotected heads
and laces exposed to the full blaze of a noonday sun.
Pour died before morning. Hour many more may
die ere night sets in, Providence only can foretell.
But a elnelterough small coffin of unpainted pine,
borne upon the shoulders of a colored 'man lu the
direction of the group, informs me that one more
'poor unfortunate' has boob added to' the hun
dreds which repose . in our city cemetery or in the
Potters' field. There is a mother and her two chil
dren, one barely out of arms, sitting beneath the
body of a Wagon, upon which are loaded her house-.
hold goods. Near this mother is a wife attending
apparently the last hours of her emaciated husband.
Beyond her sits a man, who, more fortunate than
the remainder, has possessed himself of an old um
brella, perched upon 'a pile of bedding, looking upon
the sutiorings of those afound him with apecullitrly
idiotic stare. Ho is either drunk or mad, perhaps a
little of both. God knows he has suffered enough
to be permitted a blank soace in existence, pur-
chased even at the expense of his braina or his soul's
salvation. Little chtidren's forms press the flinty
levee, comely women—a few only—lie upon the
hard earth, their faces to the sun. And, as the
wheels of cart, dray and wagon, and the_feet of pe
destrians pass them, they turn not, neiter do they
give forth any signs of life.
"These refugees aro nearly all of the class de
nominated the • poor white trash.' They have, not,
many of them, the good sense to move frotri the
levee and gain the shade of a building,Wir some
place where the sun's rays do not strike full upon
them. They do not have the intelligence of ma
ntels. Whether it is that they never had it or
whether they have suffered In travelling from.Sheir
homes until the little sense they once had has flown
from them, 1 am unable to say ; but a horse or a
mule, as long as it had powers of locomotion, would
try to do something to get out of the deathly place
in which these human 'beings have been dumped
after leaving the steamboat. These people do not
move; or try to move. But the Relief Society will
call for them in due season, if they livelong enough,
and cony them away. This Is what they wait for,
or, if the society falls them, the United States Quar
termaster will cause them to move on,' and give
them transportation to a cooler climate, if they be.
not chilled in death ere he arrives. A fund should
be raised among the benevolent cities of the North,
and sent hemp the Cairo Refugees' Relief Society,
to be expendge in relieving the wants of their poor
suffering people. Cairo does much, but no single
city in the Union could well sustain the demand
.that. for a year past has been pulling at the purse
strings of our inhabitants. Who will help us 1"
Captain Winslow of the Kenrsairge.
HIS PART IN THII NAVAL FIGHT AT FORT 'PILLOW
IN 186% .
A correspondent of the °instill:Lett Commercial tells
this pleasant story of the commander of the Rear-
Barge.:
"I send *you a little reminiscence of Captain
Winslow, the brave and successful commander of
the Real - Barge. While the Federal fleet of Commo
dore—stnee Admiral—Davis was hammering away
at Fort Pillow, one of the strongest forts the rebels
have ever occupied, along about the middle of May
two years past, your correspondent, with eight or
ten scribblers for the press, occupied comfortable
quarters with Captain Dan. Musselman upon the
steamer Dickey. then used as - the etoreship or com
missary deportment of the fleet.
"I am sure that all will remember the jovial,
elderly gentleman, in the undress uniform of a na
val officer, who joined-our mess, one day, imme
diately after the arrival of the despatch boat from
Cairo. Ile was rather short, had a small uick
black eye, gray whiskers, and the little hale he
had left upon his head was fast assuming an iron
gray hue, He was agreeable in his manner, but
rather peculiar, some of us thought, in his con
versation and daily wall, speaking in a rapni, die:
jointed style, and using lanage that smaoked
strongly of . the salt teas. infact, as. the sequel
his revealed, he was au'out-and-out sailerhaving
passed the greater part" f his life In the naval ser
. vice of the Ignited States—and he talitedin a way
peculiar 'to the ocean, .with which few of the Bo
bet:Lassie about bad any extensive acqualutance.
This gentleman was also noted for his fits of ab
straction and absent-mindedness—and it soon be
an to be whispered among , the knowing ones that
he was a little cracked in the upper story—had lost
a portion of his batteries—in fact, was not considered
exactly sound in his mind. Fevr questions were
asked the officers, and although perfectly open and
easy of approach to those who properly sought his
acquaintance,he seldom intruded upon the con
versation of thers, seemed rather to prefer quiet
and the perusal or a huge copy of the Bible, with
which the 'Homy had been provided by Captain
Musselrean,
"Few of the correspondents had made much
progress with the naval officer when he was in
vited on board the Benton to dine with Commo
de: e Davis. It Was only when he • emerged front
his state-room In full uniform, that we discovered
his rank in the navy to be that of a commander.
Of course he had come down tes supersede ISOIrI6.
body. Such, at least, was the natural. supposition.
But we were wrong. He had just returned from
a three years' cruise, had applied for and been
placed upon-active service—not exactly where he
wanted to be—in the Western waters. Be had
"reported to the Commodore and awaited further
orders.
"The morning of the 10th day of May arrived.
The rebel fleet appeared, rounding the point just af
ter the breaklast tour. - The well-remembered and
to us disastrous battle of the day—the first In which
a. Confederate fleet had met a Federal fleet upon the
waters of_the rillssissippi—was the fought. it is not
the purpose of this Sketch to reproduce the occur
rences of that day; suffice it that glowing, and, as
usual, untruthful aooounts of it were telegraphed
trout Cairo to the New York Herald, and as usual,
the Illustrated 'pipers copied their engravicigs from
the first and faulty relations. The result may be
summed up thus: hair an hour's fight to capture a
mortar boat on the part of the rebels, to prevent it,
on the part of our fleet. Several of the rebel boats
badly shattered, many men killed—two of our best
gunboats; the Cincinnati and Mound City, sunk, the
commander of the former d any of Ms men se
verely wounded. • Perhaps aan loss m in our fleet of eight
or ten seamen kilted.
"In the excitement occasioned by the battle ' a
distantview of whioh we had from tile deck of the
Dickey, the captain was lost sight of. It was not
i until after all was over, and the entire loss had
been ascertained, the despatches written, the
wounded cared for, the despatch steamer started
for the North, that some one 'thought to inquire for
'the captain.' It was found that, shortly.after the
departure of the badly-whipped fleet of the rebels
for Memphis, 'the captain,' all covered with per
apiration, powder, dust, gravel, and smoke, had re
turned to the store-boat in an open skiff, which he
bad borrowed from the stern of the Dickey, in the
confusion of the light, and which hwhad propelled
With his own hands.
" lie had been absent during the entire conflict.
It was later also learned that, unable to stand the
pressure and remain an inactive spectator of the
battle, the captain' had taken to the water, thrown
off his coat, and alone, unarmed and unattended,
had sculled swiftly into the midst Of the contending
crafts. Blinded by the smoke, but excited by the
sound of cannon, he had visited successfully nearly
every gunboat in the Federal fleet,.and undaunted
by whizzing shot and flying shells, exerted himself
to the utmost to gain the deck of one and
take part in the light. At last he was sue.
cessful, He found an open port and a deserted
sure upon the Cincinnati; he ollmbed Into the
port, secured his skiff by the painter, and actu
ally aimed and worked alone the deserted gun
with some eftect upon the sides of -the Confederate
with which she was so hotly engaged. When the
Cinilinnati sunk, he deserted- her and sought to ald
other commanders. But the light was over. The
rebel fleet was making the best of time around the
• point, none of our boats in trim to give them a very
hot chase.
"The • captain' was Captain John A. Winslow,
of the Kearsarge, the man who fought, and with the
aid of Yankee tars, sunk and completely destroyed
the pirate Alabama, commanded ey the Confede
rate Captain Semmes. Winslow was subsequently
appointed to the charge of the Baron De Kalb, and
biter transferred to the craft he now commands."

dt. concerns Messrs. Holcombe, 0. C. Clay, and
George N. Sanders, and we would fondly belleve, - no
otter person, or persons whomsoever. When Gift
dons individuals go creeping round by back doors,
seising interviews with Lincoln for a fall inter,
change of sentiments,' it givat us sincere gra-Utica,-
Don to see them spurned, ye°, tidied, from said back
door. • To Abraham we deliberately say 'brain,' or,
if he liken Whetter, bully Think of an ea-Sena

greSs—for we say - nothing of the third negotiator
—exposing themselves gratuitously, idly and utibirl
den, to receive Fuck an Ignorniniout rebuff at' the
herds Mlle truculent buffoon of Illinois.
"The eccentric procedure of these two gentlemen
has all the air of a device of the Ingenious Sanders.
Ile it was who, finding Mr. Clay and Mr. Holcombe
travelling in Clinada "for their health, and sojontn
ingat the Clifton House, bethought him of getting
them into a. correspondence abokt peace ';• and it Walt
be who opened ithimself by letter to. no less a per.
son than that sanguinary . philanthropist, - Horan
Greeley, asking him (Greeley) to procure a 'safe'
connect for the'party" to Washington and. the**
to Richmond. It appears. that Greeley, at drat
thinking this was a seal embassy to offer subnilsz
sten, ,eagerlY . Promised the safe • conduct, in the
Preeident e name, They replied they were not
exactly and altoghther pleripotentiarles, but had
no doubt that "if the circumstances disclosed In
the. correspondence" were communicated to Rich
mond, they or. somebody else would be invested
_with full ~powers: • And what were the circum
stances diselesed 1 .We learn this from a long
letter of MMus. Clay and Holcombe, written after'
their repulse. IThe -circumstances disclosed were
nothing In the world except Greeley's unatitho
sized offer of a safe conduct. They say—and, in
reading what they say, remember that It is two
eminent Confederate gentlemen addressing a paltry
Abolitioniet editor, not having the prosemption to
write to the Emperor Abraham himself—' exacting
no conditions but that we should be duly,a.ccredited
from Richmond , as' beaten; of propositions looking
to the establishment of peace, thus proposing a basis
for a conference as comprehensive as we could de
sire, it seemed to us that the President opened
door that had previously been closed against the
Confederate States for a full interchange of senti
ments, a free discussion of conflicting opinions, and
an untrammelled effort to remove all causes of con
, troversy by liberal negotiations.' What right had
they to even allude 'to propositions looking to the
estabi lament. of peace 1 Who commissioned them
to interchange sentiments with Lincoint And what
do they mean' by causes of oontrovery and liberal
negotiations 1 It these officious gentlemen' had been
received at Washington, and had been accredited
front Richmond, we should have felt very nervous
on the subject or those liberal negotiations. How
ever, Lincoln, so soon as be was informed there
were such people looking about that back door, sur
railing that It was now partly open, though 'pre
viously closed,' and parlying with a New York
editor to the hope of getting admittance—shut up
the door with a bang right in their three noses, anti
warned them oft' by a notice— , To Whom it May
Concern.'
"It is,suggested that perhaps the cunning device
of Mr. Settlers was only a contrivance for helping
the Peace party in the enemy's country; that the
answer of Mr: Lincoln was just the very kind of
answer whidh. the "ninny counselled" George ex
pected, and that It is to be used to show how ferocious
ly and unrelentingly the present Yankee Adminis
tration Is 'bent on war and repulses the slightest
hint of peace. As usual with such excessively con
ning schemes, this one not only defeats itself, but
helps the cause which it was possibly intended to
damage 'To exhibit an ex-Senator and a member
of Congress of the rebel States thus timidly crawl
ing, by a roundabout way to the footstool of the
Emperor of the Yahoos, whining and snivelling about
peace raid "liberal negotiations," and haughtily re
fused even admittance to the sovereign presence,
will Serve, not the peace, but the war party, because
it will be used to create the impression that the Con
lederacy must be in the agonies of death when two
such distinguished legislators make so pitiful an
attempt to relish the ear of offended majesty. If
such was the idea - '
then in this case, as In the other,
"those whom it may concern" have got what they
deserve.
"has any one seen the Reverend Colonel Saequees
and one Edmund Kirke? What are the detectives
about? Here have been two spies, manifestly spies,
"at the Spottswood Hotel, Richmond, on a, secret
mission," , and now, instead of being in Castle Thun
der, Eirke and the Rev. Colonel are again in their
own country, giving mysterious hints to the Wash
ington correspondents about their three days' enter
tainment in Richmond, and about " two.inuirviews"
which they say they, had with M.r..Davis. They Mtn
not disclose " for the present "—those deep diplo
mats—what passed at those interviews, hut, " it Is In
timated "...and here is truly. a startling fact—" that
Mr. Davis would consent to nothing short of the re
cognition of the Southern Confederacy." Of course
these two 'Yankees were spies; or else they wanted
to sell something in Richmond which they had ran
through the lines; or probably they combined the
two objects. Our passport system, we fear, is but
little protection, and the detectives are not suffi
ciently vigilant. - •
Howsoever that maybe ,there is now certainly a
renewalaffpose vague-whisperings of peace, which
have several times be forecirculatedthreagh society.
Many think that. peace is iu thecae. Peace, and
sumors of peace float -around us, and men dream of
peace at night. We have seen here'unauthorized

the finalene, the near approach of Lincoln's bloody
States , th all ime

peace.
And it maybe so. Peace may be nearer to us
than we think, and may come suddenly, though one
cannot see' precisely how. One thing, however, is
clear—So desirable an event cannot be hastened by
amateur negotiators "exchanging sentiments"
with Mr. Lincoln ; nor by blockade runners thrust

Sealers and Horace Greeley.
The lotint Prophet.
It has been stated that a baby was born daring
the past week, and immediately spoke the prophecy
contained in the following lines, when it Instantly
died. It 18 astonishing that the infant seer should
utter such regular verse. The prophecy may be
true, though the story is not:
Now to . e wondrous tale give ear,
That cometh from another sphere.
The angry sun had gone to rest
For many days In the red west
The angry moon rose in the east,
Each night its round face more decreased,
Until its sharp and double horn
Forewent the dawn and fled the morn;
The smoky firmament of stars
Waxed bloodily-like unto Mars
The brazen noon oppressed men's brains;
Upon the seas fell all the rains ;
The fields were scorched to stubble dead;
No dews at night the grass roots fed ;
.The cows from stinted herbage took
Their fruitless way to find the brook;.
The timid maiden bent her ear
Sloping the thunder-quake to hear ;
Earth cried unto the floode in vain;
On just or unjust fell no ;rain.
War's trumpet pealed the land throughout,.
And the drum roll and battle shout •
Death came and knocked at every :ioer
And spread his pall all pleasures o er ;
Music was stilled . a.nd.tootherit wept ;
Widows to break their sorrows slept ; .
Brothers and lovers back ne'er came--
Instead, a hollow sound.of fame.
And still rolls down the brazen sky,
The trumpet peal and battle cry.
A Delphian oracle doth stand,
To answer guest of all the land ;
Such portents may no see
And lack the words of prophecy :
That mightiest miracle of earth
A Delphian babe is brought to birth;
Lo, scarce into our mundane sphere .
It entoreth, when it speaks: .
" Gkse ear,
Ye people whom the Lord bath chose t.
Ere three months fly, yourguted foes
The foes of freedom and mankind— _
In chains or order shall ye bind,
If ye unto yourselves be just,
And to the God of batik trust."
So spalie the obAld, and ceased its breath
Instant Its lips were sealed by death.

HARVEST.—Tho farmers in this 'section Of the
country have, we believe, finished cutting their
wheat. In some places the crop was but half a
yield, while In other parts of the country it was very
good. The yield has been much better than was at
first anticipated. Harvest bands were' very scarce,
and in many instances the farm lassies were com
pelled to labor in the field —Bellefonte (Centre co.)

Tare likaiTalia Mmes.—Frank M. Case, of Den
ver
, Colorado, writes to the Toledo Blade the fol
lowing Interesting particulars respecting the cele
brated " Gregory " and " Bobtail" lodes :
"The almost unlimited wealth of the Montana
Territory has for nearly , two years been beyond an
experiment or question.
Let me give, you some faststwo .lodes
which have the most
fromare the'Gregory
and Bobtail.' A Mr. Field, thirty-three feet
on the latter, took out last year $lOO,OOO. The Sleek
Hawk ()impala y, on the Gregory, have done equally
well. To give you sonic Idea of the value of our de
veloped property, I may state that five hundred feet
of the Gregory, called the Consolidated Gregory,'
sold for a million dollars, half paid down in green
backa, and half in stock. The prices paid for mining
roperty bare are almost beyond belief, and yet it
has been proved by experiment that at snob prices
even it will be a good investment of greenbacks.
"1 said the Gregory and-Bobtail have the great
est notoriety, yet there are hundreds, and perhaps
thousands of lodes In the Territory equally as rich.
Very many have been shown' by development to be
as rich and even richer than these two lodes."

on the tract, when he accidentally discovered some-,
thing protruding from a fissure which preyed to be
petroleum, specimens of which have been sent us.
The oil is apparently of very line quality, and is
found at a depth of from two to five feet from the
spring, in the Immediate vicinity of the surface of a,
rock. There is a sulphur. discovery. There is also
abed of fine particles' of matter resembling coal
dust, which, it is said, after being dried, burns and
smells like, coke. , Mr. Morse invites the curious in

This letter is published approvingly by both the
