We publish below a number of opinions from pro• nibient journals, both In the loyal and rebellious States, upon the subject of peace, which now rings hrough the whole atmosphere .of the country. A comparison of the 'various views Will not •be found uninteresting: THE NORTHERN PRESS. THE GREAT QUESTION—PORGIVICEIiBS. (From the Washington Chronicle.] There is so much discussion about the propositions of peace between the Government of the United Statea and the di r astippinted leadem who have com pelled a large ! p ortion of our people to take arms against ft that wo should be indifferent to our own frequent, early, and recent ,wreaslons on the sub-_ ject If we did not take some little part in the debate. The subject itself is so vast that it taxes the greatest and appals the' smallest minds. , Transcending ordl• nary, topics and evanescent polities, it demandi the attention of every one who thinks, or talks, or writes upon it. We can best understand - how they,feel who have suffered the fearful punishment of rebel lion against the institutions of our common fathers, by remembering how much we commiserated them, even with the sense of their dreadful crime before our eyes. Pride, passion, and a haughty sense of refusing to repent, have been the triple cause of hatred among the families of men as among the families 'of nations. But' we cannot, before God we dare not, forget that if it it hard to say" I sin peni• , tent," LT IS EAST TO SAT "I renuivs.” How myna. .rione the philosophy of the human heart I How full of pathos and Instruction the Prodigal Son I 'Whoever read the Vicar of Wakefield with out ,shedding a tear, unless, Indeed, he ati tempted to outrage nature by showing that he had no feeling! We know -not if,:there are commissioners from the seceded or revolteitStates In this same city of Washington, but we AO they are on the ground. The more distlnguisged.or au thoritative they are the more they shOuld be Wel comed. The terms of reunion are few and briefly told. The revolted States are not sought to be re turned as captives, or as inferiors, or as degraded members of the national family. There is only one condition of restoration. It is Hot the abolition of slavery. To that both sides have at last agreed, the one betlaute It desired, the other because it could , not help it. THAT CONDITION IS, THAT THS UNION SHALL nu ASSTORND. CONP/DENOB IN TUN .63131INIETNATION, CFrom the Ne•W York Tribune.) . no longer disputable that three of the most eminent men of the Confederacy have been de. *etched from Richmond in quest of peace; and that they reached Washington yesterday. • Some very inconsiderate strictures on 14 the Blair mfg. slon," so termed, and this obvious sequel to it has been made In Senate and in the journals. It seems to us the dictate of wisdom and patriotism to say little or nothing, but to leave the Executive wholly uvembarrassed in his action in the premises. We will, therefore, only express our ardent wish and hope that the overtures thus reciprocated may re. salt in a speedy, honorable, and Inning pacifwation. Let us, for the present, fully trust our Government, prepared to aid it with our best efforts should a re• ourrence to arms become necessary.- We note suggestions in some quarters that the ""Peace" visit to Washingtoir by leading Confede rates is probably intended only by failure to arouse the South to a last desperate struggle against the Union. Of course, that Is a possibility against Which we should guard, but we do not deem It a probability. We know that Mr. Blelr's visit to Rich mond was impelled by an earnest, honest desire for pacification s and it should be reciprocated in that spirit, if at all. Furthermore, we feel that if minter, crafty manoeuvre were planned, its execu tion would have necessarily been entrusted to men of less exalted personal character than Messrs. AleX atider H. Stephens, R. X. T. Hunter, and John A. Campbell. (From the New Yell' Thnee. The peace commissioners ' it seems,.have not come to Washington at all. We learn from Washington that Secretary Seward hue gone to meet them, with what instructions or for what purpose Is, of course, open to the widest possible conjecture. It is per fectly sate to say, however, that he has not gone to tender them peace on the basis of separation and it is also safe to believe that, if they come prepared to recoguize, the supreme authority of the Constitu tion and laws of the . United States, they will 'find the Government - disposed to treat every, other Bab ject of complaint or of demand which , they may make, with the utmost; Lbertaltty. Tan,Eresident has repeatedly given them and the world-the most emphatic assurances on this subject. If they are prepared to talk of peace on the basis of union, they win probably visit Washington. If not, we pre sume they won't. HOPE AIM WATOMPIILITESS. • EProm the New York Herold.] Just as this delegation arrives the.Congressof the • United Statap haslletbuy passed a measure for the abolition of slavery. That measure, in order to be incorporated in our Constitution, must be adopted by the Legislatures of three•fourths of the States of this Union. There are thirty-six States—eight sun port the rebel cause, and twenty-eight are against it—so the measure will undoubtedly receive the sanction of the necessary number of States. Thus the institution of slavery is legally, effectively, and officially put out of existence. Now, it was slavery that the rebellion was founded upon. It was built upon that institution as its ',corner-stone," to use the words of this very Alexander H. Stephens. It was for the protection of that institution and to secure gaarantees for its existence and extension that the war was begun. Four years of war have shown the South that they cannot hope to save that institution by force of arms ; and now they see that they cannot hope to sate it in any other way. Before the war there were as many Northern States in support of-the institution as there were Southern ones. Now , the North is a unit of twenty eight States against it. This consideration has had a salutary effect upon the minds of. the Southern leaders and people. They all see clearly, enough that by war slavery goes down, and that by peace slavery goes down; that it is done for in any other way, and that they might as well relinquish the fierce and bloody war that they entered into only to save it.. Such considerations as these have doubtless disposed the rebel leaders to endeavor to make peace, the more especially as they cannot hope any longer .to make successful war. Hence they send the beet delega tion that they are able to. We hope that the nego tiations may succeed. We hope, also, that the country will "keep its powder dry." We hope that no department and no person whose duty it is to hurry up the reinforcement and equipment of Grant's grand army will be tempted into an hour's' idleness ; for Wile one else can make peace General Grant most assuredly can. GUMS' BECONSTIII7OTION,—AMNESTY. [From the New York World.) It is, or course, for the South to judge for what terms it would consider preferable to a con tinuance of the war; but it oannot make the same claims alter a series of disasters that it would after a series of victories. It cannot ignore the remit of military operations ; and in consenting to negotiate, It is to be presumed that its commissioners expect us to claim the reasonable fruits of our successes. If this highly respectable commission have oome to Washington, after all that has occurred; to treat for Southern independence, they are not statesmen, but triflers. Of course, they understand, and NEr. Davis understands, that the North, in its present temper, would accept a twenty•years war rather than surrender the Union. The• fact that hd sends commissioners, therefore, Is evidence that, on sortie terms or other, he is ready to consent to a recon struction of the Union. In view of the passage of the constitutional amendment for the universal abolition of slavery, Mr. Lincoln will be likely to insist on acculescence in that measure as a condition of peace ; but all he can reasonably demand Is that the South shall ac quiesce, 1 . 4 by the ratification of three-fourths of the States,_ the proposed amendment shall become a nett of She (Jonstitution. All . he need say to the commissioners is, ,1 If this amendment ia" rattled, the South must abide by it.); But, by unanimous action, the slaveholding States can postpone the ratification long enough to soften the change. We trust that the whole North will accept any adjust• merit of the slavery question on which Mr. 12broohr. and the Confederate commissioners may be able to salee.. take, it for granted that a general amnesty will be one - of , the conditions of peace, and that the Northern people, almost as one man, will approve it. If it includes Mr. Davis, it ought, of course, to include all the others ; 'and after these friendly in terchanges of views between Washington and Rich mond, it la evident enough that the Government will never try him for treason. If these negotiations result in any agreement, it Is probable that very few, in either section, will be exactly satisfied ; but peace and reunion are on all accounts so desirable, that we hope people of all parties will cultivate a disposition to make the best of whatever terms the Government may Impose ors ! accept, provided they secure the grand i paraMount object—a restored Union. (From the New York Daily NOW'S. The Union we have frequently declared to be die solved. While bloody memories and rankling hate interpose how, Indeed, can any one suppose its re construction other than Impossible I ()hating re venge, abiding its opportunity, could, we have de (flared' often, never be allowed to take apiece so neer the heart of the North as the Federal councils. The tie that binds the East and the West, even when strengthened by the cords of the most desppticten. Vralttation, would snap asunder before tile insinn. atingwedge of a fellowship actuated by the purposes of.a violent hate. reconstruction of force would clearly be fatal to themontinuance of the alliance now existing be.' tween the States of the North. Repressions might, It is true, attempt to guard against that danger; but at that point the reeenstruotionist concedes the Impossibility of restoring the Union as if wad. The armed centralization which would thus override•the Government of' our fathers would evidently end, if It did not begin, in the 'defamation of our libertleS. And those abominable repressions, while Involving necessarily an 4nvasion of the rights of the peo ple of these Federal States, would, by in neenlating the body politic with the views of an Inflamed discontent, weaken its strength to such an extent as to lower it in its foreign policy to the de crepitude of Austria. Italy and Hungary, raging with hate, do not constitute such arguments for bated humblettesa to the Government of Vienna as the Governmentof Washington would , find in the rage that, in the States of a subjugated South, would sit like a tigei In Its lair abiding its oppor tunity. The reconstruction of the Union, so far as that measure may be supposed practicable as a work of blood, would thus be not only fatal to our peace at home, but to otfr strength abroad. A statesman must admit a reconstruction of the Union by force impossible. Wilt Mr. Lincoln, spurning the blind passions of his faotlon, rise to the level from which he can look that fact man fully In the face Will Mr. Lincoln accept the fact that his noon etruction of the Union 18 impossible 1 Will he con cede that, in the event of further hostilltlea, the in dependence of the South is ampred In the Imme diate future• by the full strength of the wealth, ebtpa ' and armies of France I We must conclude that be possesses the capacity and courage, to do both of these, if he is determined to give ns the ttd tad happiness of peruse; or to save from the wreck of his role that fast remnant of the brotherhood of the sections, their. common Americanism.

RBBTOhATION E=sl RKBEL GUILT. PHILADELIVIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1865,a Bat this we will say, that if our Government, mind ful of the condition of our suffering brethren In the hands of the rebels, and more attentive to their wel fare than to that of their cruel tormentors and mur derers, should give the Southern embassy to under stand that their hands were too bloody to entitle them to an audience until some part Of the guilty stain was removed by sdoh small reparation as is yet In their power to make, the Country would re sound with acelamations of applause. MORE WAR MIT. [From the Albany Bventeg Jonntal.3 Peace will come at some time; but, those who as sume that that time is yet, are only preparing them selves for bitter disappointment. There will be no peace and no serious propositions from the South. untilits power Is still further crushed by the armed men whom Grant and Sherman, and Thomas and Terry are leading. When Wilmington, Charles ton, and Mobile shall. fall ; when Richmond is threatened from Lynchburg and Branchville, as wall as from Petersburg and Mitch Gap and when the narrow circle in which the rebel arm ies will then be caged, shall be effectually isolated from the grana ries and cattle regions of the South, then—and not until then—may we expect such a concentration of southern sentiment as will compel overtures which may be accepted with honor by.the country. HHH7/ON WITH HichatorriVriON. (From the Boston Atwell.) It Is to be presumed that both' Mr. Blair and Mr. Singleton; much as they may di ff er in their 'private views, both concurred in representing it as the un alterable position of Ms Government to look upon no terms of peace unless they einbraced reunion and emancipation. What 'possible object, then, can , the Richmond authorities have in sending deputies to Washington, unless they are, prepared to yield those two , fundamental conditions I If they had other ideas, their arrival just after the passing of the constitutional amendment would be suMelent to send them back . But the whole truth meat come out before long. We do not think the country indulges in any great hopes over this rodent passing to and fro between Washington and Richmond,ana we trust the Govern ment is not delayed inits war . movements One mo ment by It; nevertheless, it is desirable that all there is in it shall be sifted and brought to" light as quickly as possible. • NOT TOO SANOMM. (From the New York Express. We hope it le true that Alexander H. Stephens arid R. RI. T. Hunter have come within our lines. That is one great point gained; for, It will be re membered, when Stephens essayed to come to Wash ington before, the door, as barred in his face. Ste. phew and Hunter are men of influence and position. They stand`well in, and may be saki to have • the confidence of the " Oonfedersey," with the creep. tion, perhaps, of the extremists of the South.

ErBMIONON. (From the Boston The only basis of.settlement Must necessarily-be the killing down of arms, entire- amnesty, the.abro gation of various enactments of Congress directed against an instirgent people, but null and, void, in fact, when they return to allegiance. F.ven the pro- position to amend the constitution, which—,last passed the House by such an extremely narrow vote would be of no avail upon a general settlement of the quarrel. It would be In itself now void in law and Inoperative in fact if adopted in the absenoe of the revolted States. It they are once more is the Unkin there could be no question of Its defeat by the popular vote. It would not be thought, worth while to prem such a cause of irritation, and this much grace would doubtless be allowed to an institution already shattered by the war. . TBAOII TO BIZ .00NQIIRAUD. (From the Louisville Johrual.3 Peace must be conquered. The Confederacy, des pita the recent magelfloent victories of par arms, maintains a large and powerful militiry organize,• tion, and, though ultimate OverthroW awaits it, the leaders are too obstinate, 'too proud, for an imme diate surrender of the contest. More battles and more victories are needed; and the absorbing ques tion of the future will be, Whieh of the parties can last`the longer 1 The rebel congress, by resolution' almost unanimously adoptied, - has deolded that the War must go on, and the loyal States .are bound to iiceept the issue. - This Is indeed a war of exhaustion, and lithe rebels can hold out longer than the ,pa triots, they may, establish - their independence. Oita the loyal States afford-the blood and treasure re• quire') by the exhaustive conflict? We know that they can. Our armies now are greatly superior in numbers and disolpllna to, those of the Confederacy. They are flushed with - ilotory. The President has called for three hundred thousand men to reinforce their ranks. Theywill be tarnished, and three hundred thousand More, If needed. The resources of the nation have scarcely felt the bead of diminution. Aceumulation•haa been even more. rapid than de. pletion. The spirit of resolve 10 as Prevalent now throughout the loyal States as when the struggle began. Peace must come of conquest. We are dealing with a brave, determined people, but they can be conquered. Superior resources, wielded by the Government,Will bring them at last to submls. ?don.- But a great task is yet before .us. He who desires peace the most should be the most active in support of the nation. Peace cannot come with a broken Union. The more determined and energetic the loyal Statei are the more certainly and quickly will the rebellion be crushed, and therewith peace and. Union be re-established, THE SOUTHERN PRESS. • The tone of the Southern papers upon this the great subject of the day may be gathered from the extracts which follow : OBJECTS OB THB 00Mili8e1grt. [From the Ittclunond [Sentinel ] On Mr. Males second visit to Richmond he brought the consent of Mr. Lincoln to receive and confer with any agents rnformaily sent with d,..v if iew to the restom.' MI; of peace. The'thr ee gentienfb who left yea-ter day were thereupon - selected by President Nevis, and they have gone without formal credentials, and merely as informal agents, to see whether it be pos sible to place a conference for peace on any basis' which may serve for attaining so destrablem ;exult. .114s-possable that etiataiss may attend those efforts, but 'wisdom and prtidenee demand that we indulge it: no 00DtIdent expectations on the subject, and that we relax not one moment energetic preparation for the coming campsign. From the choice made by the President, we may rest assured that no means will be lelt untried to effect a peace if it be possible to attain it. But If the eminent citizens selected for the purpose shall failin the attempt, one good result will certainly have been reached. All dis cordant councils on this subject will have become reconciled, and it will no longer be In the power of the factions or the timid to persuade the people that peace can be reached by any path other than that opened for us by stout hearts and stout hands. (From the Richmond Rio:miter.] The Blair IlllFBloll has suggested to some of our, leading men the propriety of a reciprocal expert. !smut for peace, and Vice President Stephens, Judge Campbell, Assistant Secretary of War, and Senator Bunter, of Virginia, with the knowledge and approval of the President, have determined to visit Washington to see what can be done towards the great end so much desired. These gentlemen aro fatty posted upon all matters involved in propositions of peace, and if they . meet with the encouragement their humane and patriotic impulses deserve the way will be opened for regular, and, it is to be hoped, effective negotiations. The commissioners left Richmond yesterday morn ing by the Petersburg Railroad for City Point, where the flag-of steamer New York will meet QOM, and transport them to Washington. BUROPRILN rNFLI7RNCH [From the Richmond Examiner.] The events of Saturday gave occasion for reviv ing the report of certain complications at Washing ton with the European Governments as the probe. ble explanation of its motive in making what was apparently an attempt on its part for a negotiation of peace at, last, for the first time since the beginning of the war, for the admission or Confederate emblem ries of any character to the Yankee capital. Ad ditional occasion was made for snob rumors by the cirotnristance‘ that a courier with despatches for Richmond has lately been landed from the Talla haesee on the North Carolina coast, and It was pro. sumed that these papers might have reference to some new phase of the old story of foreign ra cognition. We happened to know that despatch. es from this vessel- are expected at the Navy Department, and that. they were landed some days ago about thirty miles above the Cape Fear river; but whether they had arrived, or what was the ofil olal anticipation of their contents, we are unable to learn.. This is the whole extent of the story of Eu ropean despatches as far as known at the present .writing. Another rumor eomes from Washington by a gentleman from the Valley, who says the French minister there had demanded his passport because of the insult to his Government, implied irka clause of the appropriation bill, making appropriations-for the minister for the republic of Mexico. By last ad vices we had in the Northern newspapers,this clause bad only passed one branch of .the Yankee Con. greys. A number of rumors were in circulation yesterday which need not be repeated here. NO PBACIt WITHOUT ORRAH&TION• [From the Richmond Weis. We have arrived at a critical point in our contro versy with the Government at Washington, and the people it represents. Commissioners have left this capital for that Of the enemy, under the -quasi invi tation from President Lincoln, to discuss the. possi bility of adjusting the matters in dispute, and end ing the war. It is of vital impdrtance that we should just now remember that we are dealing with an exceedingly artful and thoroughly unscrupulous foe. It is not impossible that this is an honest and sincere endeavor on their part to terminate the war, and that such may be the result ; bat It is not safe ferns to think so. On the contrary, while our nom rolieloners should make the most earnest efforts to secure a satisfactory peace, and while our people should Second these efforts with their prayers, if is just the time , above al/ others, when we should put forth every exertion and strain every muscle in pre paration for continued war. If the enemy desire peace, these efforts will not diminish their desire ; If they intend a snare, this 10 the way to lon them. We confess with regret that wo see but little evi dence and indulge but the faintest hope that they are prepared to accord us such terms as we amid think of accepting. It has been but a little while slime. by the election of Lincoln, adeolded majority of them - declared against any peace except suoh as should be dictated by conquerors to the vanquished. Nothing has occurred since to mollify their dispo- sition, but much to strengthen their conviction that they can subjugate us. Even the party opposed to LinoolTO reelection only talked of negotiation and ~ .statesmanshlp as a means of restoring the Union. The visit of our commissioners may be permitted only for the pinposss of satisfying all parties there that no peace can be made with us except on the beets of separation. TEM OIL DISCOVERY Ix Ogioano.—One year ago a number of citizens of Chicago organized a com pany for the tairpese of boring for oil in the stone quarry on Chicago avenue, at the extreme llmtts of the city. After going th rough different strata of straw and clay, and when at the depth of seven ban deed and eight feet, a -subterranean lake of pure water, Instead of oil, was reached, which has proved the finest artesian well In the West. The projectors of the well, after submitting to much ridicule, on the eth of January com menced boring another well about thirty feet east of the original well. Tho same geological forma. Mons were encountered as In the old well, Save, perhapa, that the Indications of oil were more marked. At a depth of thlrty-three feet, the oil be came quite abundant, flowing apparently -from a seam in the limestone. The drill was kept at work until a depth of forty-two feet was reached, which was two feet into the strata of Athens or Joliet marble which underlies the city. elneveryseem the it dicattons of oil were very strong. On Tuesday last the drill was withdrawn and a pump inserted. Atter pumping half an hour, and bringing nothing but water, the pump suddenly commenced throwing' oil and water, the proportion of oil growing greater and greater with each stroke of the pump. There were provided no vessels in which to Save the oil, and alter pumping some half an hour, and raising about half a barrel, the pumping passed. The company are 'now constrnoting vats. The. poropina will be resumed some time this week, and judging from the quantity • raised on Tuesday last, Nays the Tunes, the projectors of the enterprise con& thiently predict that the well will yield from fifteen to twenty barrels per day. The drill, as it passes down, clogs rip the seams in the rook through which the oil flows, end it Is often many weeks before the sediment is removed suitionintly to.allowtbfst free pomp) of the oil. In Pennsylvania they rm. qiiently pump several days before the, well yields, but after It once has started, and the Seams in the stone have been opened, the yield of oil becomes better and better each day. The Chicago oil le thick•, almost like tar, and will never make an lila minating, though it is of far more value for lubri cating purposes. It has boon tested and pronounced Stiperior to the best lubricating oils Pound in Penn sylvania, not chilling Materially in the. coldest weather possessing an adhesive quality which will prevent it being thrown off by maohinery, In rapid motlon,.and peoullarquallty which enables It to teat for a long time upon machinery heated to a high temperature by frictterl • INCOME.

GILLBSPIII _Chief Clerk Assessor let ark Walnut street, Feb. 2, NM: THE HOMICIDE IN WASHINGTON. A VISIT TO MISS HARRIS IN TEM PELSON CELL-HER AYPEABANOB AND MANNER-MICE STATEMENT OP THE VALISES TEAT LED TO HER ARREST-TRH PUBLIO SYMPATHY 888 HIMIIVES. Miss Harris, who, it will be remembered, shot dead a Treasury Clerk named Burroughs, on Monday last, Is receiving a large share of the sympathy of the - Washington public. She is very warmly defended for the course she took, and has been visited is her Imprisonment by many prominent ladles and gen tlemen, among them Mrs. Cornelius Wendell, Senator Hale, and the Representatives from lowa, the native State of MISS Harris. The reporter of the Washington Chronicle has also visited her, and in the( issue of that Journal yesterday, tells what he saw and heard. He found her In a cell of the ordi• nary kind appropriated to criminals of high grade. It was barely furnished, and though there was fire in it, it bore a general air of cheerlessness. Miss Harris appeared to be in severe mental trouble, and the marks of it were already visible, after but a few hours' confinement, but it also evidenced that she had long su ff ered under the pain of what she conceived to be a grievous wrong, until her physique was impaired, and her mental nature that of a monomaniac. She seemed older ULRIC she said she was ; was of a rather slight but good figure, with a well-formed head, fine hair, cut short and worn in curls, which the sunlight taught the eye to look upon as black, and dark bezel eyes; she, was graceful in manner, and intelligent in look and speech, though she has had but few educational advantages. Her language was, however, concise and good. The reporter, by earnest expressions of sympathy, obtained from her her story, given with a touching artlessness, and interrupted with many sobs. It Is, 1n substanoe, as follows My name Is Mary Harris; am the daughter or William Harris, of Burlington, Iowa; my parents are bleb, and are quite poor; am nineteen years old ; about seven years ago I first became acquaint.. ed with Mr. Burroughs ; was then Ina store In Har lington; Mr. B. was residing there; he came fro quently to see me at my father's house, from an early period in our acquaintance until he left Bur lington ; was very fond of him, and for a long time frequently sat In his lap in the presence of my pa. rents ; he always manifested great interest In me as I grew older, and his attentions became more of the ()hammier of a suitor, my parents opposed them, and continually told me- that his family was too high for me ; that he would never marry me, and that I should not keep company with him. I dis regarded them, perststed In seeing him, and be came more and more attached to him. When he left 'Burlington I did -not ask him to write to me, but be had not been long gone when I receive d a letter from him, which I answered, and a thrrespondence was. continued, which was some times Interrupted by my refraining from writing. But he would persevere in renewing it, until I would be persuaded to write to him. Before he left Burlington he asked me to marry him; I rarefied because I felt that I was too young to disobey my parents in such a matter. He always protested his determination to make me his wire. About two years ago he wrote me that ho was raising men for the war,and expected to get a commission, and then he was determined to marry me. Not long after I received a letter from Miss Devlin, who keeps a store on Clark street, Chicago, requesting me to come. there, saying that arm was a friend of Mr. Burionghll, and -I - Could - see him there. About twenty months ago' I went to that city. Dreantime Mr. Burroughs, who had rafted a company of p troo, Injured Ms ankle, could not get° the field, and resigned his commission. I saw him- frequently, and received notes Irom him regularly, until within a week of his marriage. In August or September I received a note which Miss Devlin said was from Burroughs, asking me to meet him In one of the no torious houses of Chicago. , Although I did not know who was the writer, at her: suggestion I an swered it, and a friend in the poet office watching to see who came for it, gave a description of him, mach resembling that of Burroughs. I then de termined to go to the house appointed with Miss Devlin. The people there said the gentleman we inquired for was not in, bat that he had waited there before, asking that no ono should answer the door bell but himself. The description she gave of the man made me sure that it was Burroughs, especially as he was a man of marked appearance. I received a third note appointing a meeting in the same glace but it did not take place. For some time before this I had not seen Mr eißurroughs. The anonymous writer wanted to be a friend to me, he said. sod I felt an Intense desire to know whether one I had so loved, and who had protested hie love for me, could be guilty of such baseness. I then also determined to prosecute him for breach of promise. I went to see his brother, Prof. Burroughs and inquired of him whether Jackson was in the city. He walked the floor, asked me if I was from lowa, and upon my replying in the affirmative said that Ids brother was not then there, but had been, and had. gone to Washington. Shortly after I learned that he had been married by his brother, the pro- lessor, I think the day after I was there. I then determined to oome to Washington and prosecute him, but untimely deferred it until last August, when, Miss Devlin having repeatedly advised me to do so, and offered me all the aid In her power, I came here ' only to learn that he had gone to Chicago with his wife. I immediately re turned, and on reaching Chicago employed a law yer and a detective. I soon ascertained that he had again gone to Washlusikm, but that his...wife was believed to be in Chicago, and I supposed that he would return for her. So!' waited a long time, with this expectation, but I subsequently learned that he bad been there and gone without my knowledge. That renewed my resolve to come on here and sa cure redress, if possible, by prosecution, and at all hazards to see him. I-had been disowned by my parents. I Gould not return to them ; and in Burlington, as well is in Chicago, I bad been reported to have had Improper relations with him. - This was never so. I was bent on vindicating my character. If the stories against me had been true, I could never have had the heart to come here to seek redress or to vindicate my repute. I believed that I should wipe out' the stain on my name by the prosecu tion, or in some other way, Y flinty knew how. A few days before starting from Chicago (two weeks ago), I was walklog along t he streets and saw some pistols in a shop window. Having learned that many of the ladles In Chtoago carried pistols, asps. Wally when travelling, I determined to buy one, and at once bought the one. I did not know how to load It: The morning of the day that I left Chicago I examined the printed directions upon the wrap per acoompanying the pistol and cartridges, and, by tollowleg them, succeeded In loading it. I was then called to breakfast, and putting the revolver with my things, forgot to unload it, After I started I concluded to keep it loaded, but had then no In tention of using it when I got here. After my ar rival here I became almost frantic with a desire to -see him, and put on a DOW" ((which I was not wont to wear) and a veil and so dlegutied, went to the Treasury. When I went into the Treasury building , yesterday rnellling, I inquired for Landechntr, Jos 571 MeCalton, Wm J 9,052 marquette. .1 0 13 219 Madden Margaret 1.628 griller, Solomon 8 1,278 Miller.

FOITR CENTS. the zoom In which Mr. Burroughs was, and, having learned that, walked up and - down the hall for some time. Once I went to the door of the room, opened it a few inches, and Saw him at his desk. The moment I looked at him, sitUng there so comfortably, the thought of all I had suffered,-And of his being the cause, enraged Me, and my hand Involuntarily pulled back the trigger of the pistol in my pocket. I closed the door, and, steppingaway, moved about again, I know not how or where, except that I kept my eye on his room until the men began to come out of their rooms. Then I placed myself where I knew he .would have to come near me in going to the stair case. When he appeared, I felt suddenly lifted up ; my arm was extended as stiff as iron, and I saw him fall. I knew nothing morel:mid I was called back as I was leaving the building. Pray, sir, what will they. do with me. If It was not for my poor father and mother, I would not care. The friends of Mr. Burroughs say that he is a brother of Dr. Burroughs, president of the Douglas Baptist Seminary in Ohioago ; that he did reside for a considerable time at Burlington, lowa, where he became acquainted with and much Interested in Mirs Mary Harris. But they also.etate that Ur. Burroughs frequently told Miss Harris that he cool] not reciprocate her attachment, and notified her of his intended marriage a short time before the wedding, called upon her with his bride soon after, and was well received. When Mr. Bur roughs started to go to °bingo to be married, in ugnst, 1861, he told a gentleman here, WhO had been his warm friend, that he had had a great struggle between Inclination arising from the affec tion of earlier years and duty, but had derided to marry the lady, who soon after became his wife. 13.18 friends claim that he has ever been a gentle• man of the highest honor. He attended the Baptist church with his wife every Sunday. He always !poke in terms of strong commendation of Mies Harris, and expressed the most friendly' interest in her welfare. He said that upon one oocasion, when the subject of his own marriage was - mentioned to Miss Harris, she told him she was engaged to Mr. Devlin, a brother of the ladles with - whom she had her home in Oblong°. Mrs. Burroughs yesterday stated that about twelve months ago Mr. B. re. orived, through the mall, astrange newspaper, in which was a marriage notice marked, and that Mx. B. requested her to out it out and preserve it, which she did. The notice which she produced and showed to some friends read somewhat as follows : " Mar ried, by Bishop Dugan, Mr. Charles Devlin, of Bal timore, .to Miss Mary.(}.Harris, of Burlington, lowa." Mr. Burroughs, upon reading it, said "he wee glad to learn of the marriage ; hoped that she bad married well, 'for' she was a good girl, and had seen some hard times." IPINANOM AID 00MIIIRCIAL It having been determined that the necessities of the treasury shall hereafter be met entirely by taxation and the tale of the seven- thirty loan, it becomes a matter of patriotic duty with capitalists to make up in the latter way whatever may be deficient by thir first. The sub seriptioxus to the currency loan have averaged about seven hundred millions dollars daily. through the agency of the National banks, private bankers,- and ether sources. This system of negotiating Rational -loans was sadly deficient in concentration and natty, as bad long been felt by many of the best financial friends of the Government. There being no Pluttalltar head to direct the sales of the loan, to superintend the exten sive system of advertising, printing (Arcola/a, &c., in separable from such a busineas. the Government lost many subscribers who might have been reached by a better organised system. The appointment of Mr. Jay Cooke was, under the circumstances of the *ass, a ne cecoltr Which could not longer be delayed It will be some days yet before the new machinery for the sale of the seven• thirty loan will be in complete running order, Applications are being received from banks and bankers, in all parts of the country, who are anxious to become agents in their particular localities. As yet the e my appointments made are for the principal cities. It is Mr. Cooke's design to reach all the towns and country villages of the land, so that no person de siring to loan the Government his spare fends shall be left without an opportunity of doing so. The National banks will continue to receive subscriptions as hereto: fore, and it is particularly satisfactory to state that the new arrangement is such as to secure the hearty co operation of these banks with Mr Cooke, Li:making his sales as large as possible. Their profiti for them will be even larger than before, for the commissions which the agent gives on sales, Is greater, we understand, than that which they made under the old arrangement. The seven-thirty loan enjoys many advantages over other forms of investment, which will render it pope tar with the people,. The entire stock list was drooping yesterday. and though the transactions were moderate IA volume. prices were considerably lower. The depression ex tended to the Governments. The ISEIs sold down to 1091 f. a decline of X. and the 10-40 s at 101, a decliae of X. The 7-30 loam. was steady at wag. The 5-20 s were weak at 109. State securities were also lower. ■ales having been reported at 023(, which is X off. City loans were inactive; the new sold at 97 and the- old at 973(, the latter a slight decline. There was little or no demand for company bonds, but prices were general ly steady. First mortgage Pennsylvania Railroad Bonds sold at 107; Morris Canal Se at 103 X; Lehigh 6s at 95; A lot of Allegheny county 8s changed hands at 76. The share list was considerably lower. Pennsylvania Rail road again declined X. selling at el. Catawlesa pre ferred declined 11.'selling at 24X; Ninehili X. mill ing at 67X; Reading doted at 151%, a decline of X; Camden and Amboy cold down to 130, . Which is a .decline of 4. The meetings of the people in different portions of New—Jersey to urge a non extension of the exclusive right of way of the Camden and Amboy road, between this city and New York, /will, it is thought, have some effect, and may probably lead to a partial breaking down of the so called monopoly—at least so many of the holders of stock eecm to think, and hence Moir willingness to part with it at reduced rates. ' On the 16th of January, Cam den and Amboy stock sold at 110; - the decline since then has consequently been serious. Norrlstcwo Railroad sells at 67.4 i ; Lehigh Valley at 117; Northern Central at mg. and Elmira at 31. There is still a fair business doing in the oil storks, though they have not yet re covered from the recent shock which they expe rienced. raison ger Railroad securities are comparatively dull. The only sale reported - was of Second and Third at 68. and Thirteenth and Fifteenth at 24; 44 for Tenth and Eleventh; 45 for Chestnut and 'Walnut; 70 for West Philadelphia; 9 for Race and Vine; 29 for Green and Coates. and 23 for Girard College; 17 was asked for Arch street, and 33 for Spruce and Pine. Bank shares are firmly held, but there Is very little doing, Corn Bi change sold at 58%; 190 was bid for North America; 140 for Philadelphia. 61X for Commercial; 44 for Penn Townehip; 61 for Girard; 119 for Western; 00 for City, and 46 for Consolidation.

The opinion of the court is tintinimi.ns., It was delivered by Justice Nel son, of the New York Circuit, and reverses the decision of the Court'of Appeals at Albany, which favored Indi rect taxation upon the capitals of banks invested in Federal securities. The whole question ie thus finally concluded. A State or local tax upon private means or corporate capital invested in United Stales securities cannot possibly be levied, and the outcry made by come of the New York papers against this plain and unanimous declaims in ito sense impairs the wisdom or legal soundness of the decree. A new Petroleum Stock Exchange was formally opened in Brew York on Wednesday, at, 73 Broadway, in the presence of a large number of persons.

Hts description of tit*., c , Cameron property will be read with interest by those of our citizens who are interested in the de velopment of this company : FRAVICIAN, VEN.A27OO COUNTY, Ps, Tuesday evening. Jan. 21,1865. J. L. Darlington, Erg., Secretory Cameron Petra/elm Company: DRAB. Sin: • • "-** * I have just returned froze a thorough examination of the "Hoover Farm," and, after visiting all the wells on It, with one or two exceptions, conversing with the men in charge of them, and seeing the oil pumped Into the tanks, I feel warranted in saying. that the present oondi tion of the property is underestimated rather than over-estimated in your prospectus. I like the way the land lays much. There is am ple room on the river front for at least three tiers of leases without resorting to the tedious and expen sive process of " benching, " Which Is the only way in which much of the WIT territory between this farm and Franklin can be made available for boring purposes, notwithstanding the latter is selling at enormous eglares. The broken character of the "Hoover" is by all oil men regarded as the very beat Indication. Another feature of the property, which given It great advantages over much contiguous territory, is the fact that can be shipped from any part of It all the year round. Between Franklin and the "Hoover" Ifound thousands of barrels of oil that meet remain stationary until navigation opens, on account of being inaccessible by road, whereas from the "Hoover " it can be hauled at the most severe season. On my way this morning I met some twenty sleds conveying the barrelled oil from the various wells on the farm. I have not traversed the "Stewart farm," though I think its situation admiisble, and the fact that it is surrounded by good developments gives it s high character here among oil men. Upon the whole, I believe the territory hi capable.' of being , made all that your prospectus promises. though It may require a little more time than was anticipated, from the fact that among oil lessees, as among ether people, there are always more or less " lame ducks." The leases,ll find, oan be readily made, many of them at a handsome bonus. Very truly yours, ••• " The writer of the above visited the property and works of the Jersey Well Company, amrfonnd them in a most prosperous state of development. The interests of this county have largely increased in value by the discovery of oil upon Slippery Rook Oreek,.lll Lawrence county. • ♦Y . ~ 1 .. ~ TO AR r • 1911 11 ?SOY FOR DLL Washington Havre MR/ York. • -Jan. 11 Kangaroo •LbrerPool. --Hew York Jae. 21 Africa bivorpOol. • ....Boston • Jan. 11.
