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.

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.

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.

to the oaU of Chi, f Franklin. See card .published
In another part of to-day’s Piatt. The Chief has
judiciously advertised in many oountry papers; had
his hills posted In- many sections oi the country,

■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.

MISCJEMANEOTO.
LECTURE BT BEY. COB. JACQUESS.
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.
