eiSBBAIi S*WB. The Bounty-Jumpers at Fort Layaybttr— Col. Burke and jthb Way he Treats Them.— Fort Lafayette if tall. ThA captured host sent fcbere on Monday, by 001. Baker, has monopolized the famous rooms Nos. 2 and 3, in. which Gen. Leo, Miy. Gen. Gardner, Mr. President Blok* ley, K. G. 0., and other noted man were confined, as well as the batteries Nos. i, 6, and e, ir which block ado-runners, neutral Englishmen, and •contractors Innumerable have slept, and smoked, and onrsed. (Jol, Martin Burke, tbe jolly anc. sui generis eommandant of tee post, sits, as la his oheerfui custom, on tho poreh and smokes his pleasant pipe, but no longer does his eye fall on foreign ministers, on major generals, on rioh contractors, or on civil prisoners of gentle birth; he now sees none but dirty* faced bounty.jumpers and nimble-legged deserters, who peer at him irom behind their doors and win dows, and would hang, draw, and quarter him for breakfast. They are not permitted the privilege of the parade-ground, but are looked up plosely in the hatterleß, from which the partitions have been knocked, leaving one loDg room in place of the former three. The scene upon the arrival ft lore Lafayette beggars description. The roughest dertU mav-earest setof fellows ever seen, handcuffed and chained together, some grumbling, but the majority of them swearing and j ofing as ”‘boy had been the victims of a great practical joke, whose point they not only saw, but appreciated. Uolonel,?”*“! for onoe surprised. All classes of men, all grades of society, had been under his look and key, as ho sup posed; but It was left for Colonel Baker to astonish him with a new phase of humanity, whoso peculi arities he is now studying and enjoying. The men wiil be kept there for a short time, and then sent to the front. On the return of the boat, the rebel Gen. Bane, Col. Montgomery, and others, were brought to Tier No. 1, North River, whence they went to Fort Delaware, while all the State prisoners were sent to Fort Warren, _ Oft, is Mexico.—A letter from Mexlao states: The interest in discoveries of petroleum continues unabated. Springs of undoubted value have been found at the Kuasteoa, and at several points in the Department of San Luis Fotosi and on the'Tampi co river, as well sis in several places In the valley of Mexico ; and even on the Pacific side, on the coast of Jalisco, tho unctuous fiuld is said to abound. Where it will next turn up is yet to be known, but 11 prospecting parties ” are on the alert for every shadow of an Indication. Messrs. Covert, McCone, and Foole, American residents or Mexico, have come into possession of somo valuable springs, and Mr. William H. Arnoux, representing a number of New York capitalists, haß recently left for the United States with impoitant title papers relative to petroleum, almost under the very ‘‘Halls of the Hontozumas.” Mr. Covert leaves Yera Cruz, by the English steamer for Havana and New York, with equally interesting Information, and representing some of the most valuable disooveries yet made in Mexico. The oil is clear and of good quality, and Is accessible by navigable streams. Boring is soon to be oommenoed on a large scale, for whloh any amount of capital is ln-readiness. The exclusive ' right to refine this oil, which, as stated in former correspondence, has been granted to some of the . above-named parties, makes their monopoly of al ‘most inconceivable value, particularly when it is considered that they have not only the outside world as a market, but some seven millions of Mexi can population to supply—a local trade whieh Is every day Increasing, and whloh can defy Importa tion Horn abroad. . Rapid Gbowth op the West.—A correspond ent of the Boston Traveller, writing irom Quincy, 111., thus alludes to the comparatively prosperous condition and rapid growth of the West: It would astonish you in New England to see how flourishing and progressive the West Is. The high prices paid for products have liquidated mortgages and liabilities all over the West. Population Is pressing into all our towns and cities. Illinois is " crowded with men, and young and middle-aged men, too. The State is required to furnish as many troops as •Ohio, under the last oall, and In 1870 our popula tion cannot be less than three millions. The west will be the centre of political power, and it Is wise for the Eastern States to adjust themselves grace fully to the contingencies of the future, and realize the fact that the mission of New England consists rather in educating and training people for.the great - valley of the Mississippi. New England will not always be the workshop of the nation, bat it may always be the university of the people. New Eng land Is respected in all the West, now that the fleroe Democracy has lost Its power to embitter the hearts of the people against the land of the Puri tans. . “ The winter on the Mississippi, in the region of Quincy, has been charming and beautiful, no snow, no intensely' cold weatner—weeks and weeks of sunny days have made the winter very pleasant In the West., Emigration to the West is on the march now. Trains are freighted down with passengers seeking new homes in Missouri. People from every State In the Union are passing through the city of Quincy, lured b; the prospect of cheap and fertile landß across tbe river. The old Southern and rebel population, disfranchised and conquered, seeks a home In regions more West, to hide its shame and chagrin. Sale ov Coras, Msdaps, &a—A rare find valua ble collection of coins, medals, Ac., belonging to the late Dr. Ohllton and by him purchased from a Spa nish gentleman, was offered for sale on Monday evening In New York, and the same will be contin ued four or five days. The colleotluß comprises an cient silver and copper oolns of Greece, Rome, Franoe, England, the Papal States, Sweden, &c.. Ac. Among other articles of vortn Is a well-executed painting, by West, of the first Bishop of New York, Dr. Provoost, in full Episcopal roses. Samuel Pro voaet was bora In that city lu ms, and was pastor of Trinity In 1778, but showing too muoh sympathy with the colonies in their disputes with the mother country, he rotlred-to a farm in that State. When the War of Independence was brought to a dose he' was nominated by a convention of the Dlooese for •the Episcopal bench, and went to England, where he was consecrated. Tbe size of the-paintlng is 36%' by 28. Thero is also a fine collection of numismatic works, many of them rare and costly; and, in addi tion, several engravings, lithographs, and colored prints, suoh as are not every day to be met with. Electrotype medals, shells, Ac,, are also In the cata logue. The attendance was not large, and the prices moderate. Selb-Denial o» the Queer ov Spaut.—The property offered to be sold by the Queen of Spain for the benefit of the nation, comprises the'wnole royal patrimony, with tbe exception of the royal re sidences and tho estates entailed upon the Crown cf Spain. Seventy-live per cent, of the proceeds will go to the public treasury, and twenty-five per cent to the royal treasury. Tho sale is estimated to prodnee 60c,000,C00 reals. The proposal is said to have been received with indescribable enthusiasm. The whole Congress testified their gratitude by thanking the Queen in person. Her Majesty said that, as she considered herself the mother of the Spanish people, she wished to be the first to sacri fice herself lor their Interests, The Crops.—Commissioner Newton has issued a crop circular from the Department of Agriculture, which shows a large increase in the amount ana value of agricultural products in 1884 over the yield of the previous year. The Increase in the yield of -com was 182,612,191 bushels ; in oats 5,860,830 bush els : buckwheat. 2 914,418. Wheat fell on 12.982,105 bushels; rye, 118,300 bushels •, barley, 1,442 567 bush els : potatoes. 2,433,169 bushels. Total Increase In 1864,141,386,638 bushels; total decrease, 16,974,201 bushels. Net Increase, 124,412,738 hnshels. The Bbttbk Tijtk Oomihg.—The great Items <tea, sugar, coffee, and the like) of the house keeper’s grocery account were not a fraction higher—we speak of the smaller retail dealers— when gold sold at 280, than they were yesterday. Net a little while and this thing will oeasetobe. Trade combinations, trade conspiracies, and high f rices bare had their day. We shall see them rcken np with the break-up of the combinations and conspiracies of the Blchmond rebels. Photography Appltrtj to Topography, Photography is superseding trlangulation in France as a means ofoalGutating distances and heights. By means of twenty-nine views itaken from eighteen different points in less than sixty hours, an accurate plan of the city of Grenoble and of Its environs, -embracing an extent of more than twenty kilome tres square (twelve and a hair miles square), was exeouted In sixty days, which, by trlangulation, would have taken two years to execute. Tan breaking up of the ice in the Susquehanna river last week is described as a most beautiful sight. In some places the loe was piled fifty feet high. Many houses and bridges were swept away, and great pecuniary loss was occasioned to the dwellers on the river banks.' The water was six feet higher than In 1846, when there was a great flood. Thb New Orleans papers of the Ist Instant had a startling report from headquarters, at Baton .Rouge, that Blchmond bad been evaenated. Oaks now run from Meadville to Oil Otty, on the branch of the Great Western Railroad.. THE CITY. MILITARY. THE DRAFT IN THE FIRST AND SECOND BIS- TBICTS —EXTENSION Off TIME. At a convention of delegates of the six waTds composing the First Congressional district of Penn sylvania, hefd on Tuesday evening, Maroh 7th, a committee of six gentlemen was appointed to visit Washington and confer with the President with re-’ gud to credits for naval enlistments and extension cf time for drafted men. This committee consisted Of Messrs. Lougblln, Daly, Hicks, Baugh, Suoser rott, and Wright—one from eaeh ward respectively —and to these were added the Hon. Samuel J. Ran dall, from the First district ; the Hon. Charles ■ O’Neill, from the Second district; and Emerson Bennett, president of the convention. This com mittee proceeded in a body to Washington, and, through the energetic assistance of Colonel John W. Forney, procured an early interview with President Llaooln, who received them with great kindness, and listened with earnest patience to all they had to say. A subsequent interview was appointed by the President, at which the Pro* -rest Marshal General was present, and the points cf the case were ably argued on rath sldeß, Presi dent Lincoln taking an active part in the discus sion. As it was found that the aot of Congress, of Maroh 3,1866, out off all credits for the present draft, the committee were compelled to abaudon the naval enlistment question and conflne them selves to an extension of time for the drafted men. This, after a second interview of more than anhour, -the President kindly conceded, and directed the Provost Marshal General to issne an order to this •effeot, which was Immediately done. The commit tee returned on Saturday, highly gratified with -their visit to the President and the result attained. GEN. HANCOCK’S CORPS.

The Chief has judiciously advertised in many oountry papers; had his hills posted In- many sections oi the country, the veterans arerespondlng to him in a manner that Is at onoe creditable to them and the energy of ■Chief Franklin. THE 218TH PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS. The 213th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, Which left our city on Saturday last, has been as signed to temporary duty at Annapolis. This is the seventh regiment recruited in this city under the Auspices of the Union League, and was the first to leave Philadelphia under the last oall of the Presi dent. This regiment is one of the finest ever orga nized In cur city. The officers were selected from -old and well tried veterans, it being one of the ne cessary requisites that they should previously have been In the service at ieasttwe y ears. The men also were well selected. Many of them were re-enlisted veterans, and the regiment to-day can take a front place in the field, and render as efficient service as older organisations. The Bth Union League Regiment, recruiting for which has already bean commenced, will also be stationed at Camp Oadwal&der. It is the Intention to make this organization equally as effective, If not more so, than the 7th Regiment; also to organize it in as short time as possible, in order that the members of the League may have the honor-of furnishing the second as well as the first regiment under the late oall of the President lor volunteers. PROCEEDINGS OF THE COURT-MARTIAL. The military court-martial reassembled yesterday morning, pd proceeded with the trial of W. B. N. -Cozens, late Government tent contractor.

A man residing in tho Eighteenth ward, who was subject to the draft, enlisted before the day of the drawing the names from the wheel. He reported to Camp Cadwalader, where he has since been em ployed in painting. This man goes home to his meals, and at night, while other soldiers are -made to do military duty. | EIGHTH WARD.

The above-named gentleman, who has attracted considerable attention of late by his visit to-Rich mond, delivered a lecture last evening on "My ex- Eenence In Richmond, or conversation with Jeff iavls, Benjamin, & Co.” Notwithstanding the In clemency of the weather, quite a respectable andl ence was in attendance. He said that Jeff Davis was confident that If he conld once establish the In dependence of the Confederacy then he was cer tain the Northwestern States Would comoin by the laws of gravitation. Then he expected New York, Pennsylvania, and other States would wheel Into line. His eye was fixed upon the dazzling frize of a new empire, and If suooess attended him, is fortnne was made for all time to some. He was fully aware that if he failed he was a dead dog for over. The lives of men and the value of property had no effect upon him, and it was idle to talk to him of either. Thera was a desire for peace, and none desired It more than the speaker. One plan to aoeompllsh this desideratum was to get down upon our knees and beg for It, and let Jeff Davis take ns, soul and body, and rule us. The other plan wa**to annihilate the rebel army or break it as a military body. We had paSEcd through two'stages in this rebel lion, the first of which was In the preparation, orga-- Eizatron, and drill, all of which was as neoossary as the foundation of a building before the superstruc ture was raised. The second was earnest, terrible fighting. The Mississippi, Tennessee, and Oumber laud rivers were all ronnd to be blockaded, and a line of fortifications extended from Bowling Green, Kentucky, to the yery gates of Washington. Gen. TUghman had Irreverently said that God had not made men enough to take h!s lort, but Commodore Foote took it in a few minutes. Grant took Fort Donelson, and this campaign culminated In the capture of Vicksburg and the opening of the Mississippi river. The duties of the Army of the Potomac culminated at Gettysburg. The Middle Department decided the battle of Mis sionary Ridge, the grandest thing of the kind In the history of wanare. The South were there beaten honorably and fairly after contending only as| Americans could contend. If the people oftne South had been governed by civilized loaders, not another gun would have been fired alter the 25th of November, 1803. There was another period par tially fulfilled, which commended under the leadership cf Grant when he crossed the Potomac to Richmond for the last time. It was inaugu rated in the West when Sherman commenced his campaign. Kittle Phil Sheridan and Thomas were aU In line, and they were all men In the right place, and would be heard from at the proper time. The speaker said that he had been miked before the elec tion why Grant did not take Rlohmond, and then the election of Lincoln would be certain. He al ways replied that Grant was not In the field to make Presidents, and would not march his army ten miles to elect himself President. He was there to put down the rebellion, and in doing so would not have his men slaughtered nnneeessarilly. He knew but one question, and that was to have Lee by the throat and hold him till he choked his 'life out. The speaker paid a glowing tribute to the private sol diers, and after the rebellion was over he would give them all pensions, and write their names where angels might read them. He supposed there would be a half million of colored soldiers in the field be fore the rebellion was ended, and thought they, would be headedtowards Ihe southwest, to drive out the French Invaders, and assert, the Monroe doc trine. Some persons seemed to fret because Ken tucky, Delaware, and New Jersey [laughter] would not give up slavery, but he was satisfied to let them have what Blaves they could find bye-and-bye. The Btar-spangled banner would Boon float In every quar ter-section of jland In the United States, and every rebel wculd have to make his best bow to It and sing “ Hall Columbia” under Refolds, . PRICES COMING DOWN, ** Some of the retail storekeepers are reluctantly yielding to the groat fall in the ptiees .of goods of almost every description, particularly articles that oeme under the head of the necessaries or life. Some qualities of sugar fell five cents par pound yesterday, retail. Coffee Is also declining in price. Everything is down, down, down, much to tho grati fication of consumers, tho toiling millions who work hard every day to keep soul and body together. The business men who kept light stocks on hand, and either did a cash business or short credits, are fortunate; they will, to some extent, escape the panlo that has already commenced, and which will assuredly and deservedly orush that class of man who have been piling away millions of dollars worth of Stocks of various kinds with the hope of still fur ther advance in prices.. These men will suffer, but it Is not likely that tho Infliction will fall upon the community In general. It is inevitable that prices must still further deollne. Take oysters, for In stance ; a short time since they commanded fabulous prices. That was because the bivalves were scarce. ■Now they can be purchased at rates ranging from two dollars per thousand upwards. Eggs are down to twenty-eight and thirty cents per dozen. Butter must come down to thirty or thirty-five cents per pound. Meat of various kinds must also decline. It Is vain for retailers to keep prices up; the ten dency Is down, and, from present appearance, will continue. In the meantime, the working classes in all branches of labor will be kept busy for some time to come in making up work for the General Government. DECEASE OF A VENERABLE LADY. The friends of Cecelia Maria O’Oomway were yes terday apprised of her death, and although ex pected, vet the regret Is none the less sincere, This estimable lady was the first Catholic child bap tized In the Indian settlement which ocoupied the present site of Pittsburg. Fifty-six years ago she left.tbJs oountry and went to Quebec, whore she en tered the Ursuline Convent. During that long period of time she was beloved by all whose pleasure it was to meet with her, and at her death was eunonnded by those who for«years have had the satisfaction of being guided by her precepts. At the age of seventy, six she departed this life, retaining au her faculties to the last, and bestowing her bless ing upon the Christian ladles who stood by her side. She was-the first American lady that ever went abroad to enter a convent, and certainly none will ever leave a more pure and spotless feme than the subject of this article. LECTURE. On Friday evening, at Musical Fund Hall, our citizens will have an opportunity to hear Hon. John W. Forney, who will lecture upon “Our Country— Its Men and Measures ” Tickets are limited to the capacity of the Hall, 1,800, and nearly all have been sold. .Previous to the lecture, and at Its con* elusion, a superior quartette company will sing a number of patriotic songs.
