Two SIDER TO A Smonv.—The Washington Sfax
uives the following amusing account of the recent
capture of cattle by the rebels :
" The correspondent of the New York Tribune
writes from the front of Petersburg claiming that
all our cattle captured by the enemy from the
,Tomes river corral were recaptured by Gregg's ca
valry.
"We regret to say that the Tribune correspondent
is not well informed. We have recaptured, at last
accounts, precisely one bullock, an unfortunate ani
mal with a broken leg, whose fearful bellowings In
a niece of woods attracted our cavalry to the place,
and the woods having been carefully recormoltred,
surrounded, and penetrated, the recapture above
mentioned was successfully made. The cattle ac
count therefore stands: Captured by the enemy.
2,437 ; recaptured, 1; missing, 2,436."
The Herald's City Point correspondent tells a dif
ferent tale about it, however, and one which, if true,
places the joke upon the other side:
" The rebels, not satisfied with having driven off
two thousand four hundred and eiwirty-dro excel
lent beef cattle out of a herd containing but two
thousand four hundred and eighty-six, these ma
rauding rascals had no sooner got them safely be
yond the Blacliwater, and repulsed - our cavalry sent
Si, pursuit, than they impudently returned to the
F razing ground with four or five brigades, and spent
thirty-six hours in search of the one missing lame
ox.'
A STRANGE iiiiSSlELE.—General Hood sent his
compliments to General Howard the other day, In
the shape of a east-iron window - weight, weighing
seven pounds. It is about a foot long, and an inch
and a quarter through. This nitsallo of destruction
is believed to have been thrown from a Whitworth
aim and must have carried a distance of two miles.
Nobody was hurt by its arrival. The rebel stock of
ammunition must be ' somewhat exhausted when
they have recourse to such materials of war.
POLICEMEN ON A STRLKE.—The police of Wheel.
ins, Va., are on a strike. Several months ago they
requested an increase of pay. Finding the city go
vernment disinclined to accede to their demands
they have refused to do duty any longer, and the
city is without its usual guardians. Highway rob
beries are, in consequence, of nightly occurrence.

fifteen horse-power engine, one well producing about
two hundred barrelS a mouth. two wells beinn_ bored
one hundred and seventy feet each, with rigging-at
tached to engine, tubing, &c. - -
These lands are situated adjacent to the OLD Bum NO
SP RUCS, Wirt county, Virginia, and front - upon the
little Kanawha river, with good wharfage. From this
point the oil ca u be shipped to Parkersburg, on the
Ohio river, for fifty cents a barrel. by the river.
These lands are adjacent to the tract recently sold to
the "Burning Spring Petroleuni Company," of New
York, whose capital is live million dollars, and are
nearly equal iu productive value to the New York
Company's land, and in prospective value are believed
to be in no Via y inferior.
Vel id of these Burning Spring Walls were first
bored in kilt, and then prmlaced at a depth of two hun
dred to three ndred feet as much as ll,nr hundred
barrels per day. They were abandoned on the break
ing out of the rebellion. The restoration of order has
caused cspitallAs to look to ibis section. This is un
doubtedly the bent oil region isVirginia, as can be as
certained by inquiry of an y one familiar with teat sec
tion of coo - tarry.
While these well: at from two hundred to three hun
dred feet deep are now yielding from twenty to thirty
'barrels p.r day, it has been demonstrated that by
boring them to the depth of five hundred to seven hun
dred feet the third sand stone will be reached, as was
done at Oil City, and a large and constant supply of oil
obtained. It' is proposed by this company to expend
- fmcnt.p.fil thousand dollars- at once in boring, under
the superintendence of a reliable engineer, the preheat
wells deeper, and a number of new ones to a Still
greater depth.
The 7)A:h....tors af this company can rt the _tallest in
tro fry and iniyewt Loa( ion cr.! , to the lo a
cationand charac
te.• of these LANDS.
The production of imperfectly developed wells now
on these lauds, would probably afford an intatediate di
vidend cent. a n:onth. on a capital of a mil
lion dollars, but no especial reliance is based upon the
went production of badly bored and neglected wells,
but upon the future development of what is believed to
be tile meet pet retsina' tract next to that owned by the
celebrated Columbia Oil Company on Oil Creek.
The lands will be purchased, and $25, DOC retained in
the trea , .ury as development fund, so that further as

carriages, railroad cars, church pews, or in any crowded
place, from the difficulty of contracting them to occupy-
Mg a small space. This entirelyzemoves the difficatty,
while giving the skirt the usual full and symmetrical
form, and is the tightest and most stylish and graceful
appearance for the street, opera. promenade, or house
dress. A lady having enjoyed thepleasure, comfort,
and greet convenieLcs of wearing the Duplex Elliptic
Spring Skirt for a single day, will never afterward
willingly dispense with the use of them. They are the
best quality in every part, and by far the lightest, most
durable, comfortable and economical skirt made. Mer

in our opinion, advance rapidly.
Parties having 5.20 Loan will do well TO CALL AND
EXCHANGE THEIR 5-20 s for this more permanent
Loan, especially as now, owing to the German demand
for the Ere-twenties, a high rate can be obtained for
them.
