Journalists and Journalism.
Some comment has been occasioned by
5 the appearance of an article in the. New
"York Tribune, paying a.high compliment
to Mr. Bennett, of the Herald, and re
" Commending him as a minister to Prance.
So far as the personal character of this
notice is concerned it will be regarded
with pleasure by those of the newspaper
profession who have thought Mr. Gree
and Mr. Bennett men too
great to waste themselves upon petty
’’quarrels. We shall very gladly wel
come a cessation of these, disputes. Mr.
Bennett is, now a very old man. In the
course of* a few years he must soon pass
away from us. He has wielded won
derful power. He has created a news
paper which represents, with singular
truth* the . popular mind, the habits,
the wants, and wishes of a great part
of the people. Mr. Greelet, although
in the prime of life, has created a party,
and sees every day the successful vindica
tion of ideas that twenty years ago were
advocated by him amid contumely and re-
proach. There are grave' issues before the
nation now, and their discussion will re
quire the highest order of statesmanship,
and the earnest support of the people.
Therefore, these vindications of harmony
will be greeted by the country-with plea
sure, as' showing that in this time of na
tional anxiety every element ■is united
against the enemy.
In addition to this there Is a thought in
connection with these courtesies of the
New York journalists that has often made
a great impression upon us. It is gene
rally felt that in a free country the
power of the people is expressed in the
newspaper. The journalist, by constant
intercourse with by expressing
an opinion upon every matter of national
and; local interest, obtains , an influence
which has had no counterpart in any
•former agency. We read of the tre
mendous power of the pamphleteer in the
days of Asms—of the influence of Mr.'
Addison and his elegant Spectators—at the
anonymous “Junius,” with his incompara
ble and audacious ridicule. In their day
these men were' powerful among the few
lords and gentlemen who gathered public
opinion from the Kit-Gat Club, or read
the columns of Mr. Woodfall’s Adver
tiser. They did not speak to the people.
Beyond the prosy news-letter, with its
horse-racing news, and the doings of the
court, and intelligence from his Ma
jesty’s plantations in North America,
the people had no concern with pub
lic sentiment. When government be
came a burden there was a riot. Po
litical journalism was unknown. It
remained for a later generation to unite
the two elements—to combine “Junius”
and the news-letter—to group all the world
in one column, and, in the other, to mea
sure praise or censure to statesmen and
warriors. The newspaper ceased to be the
exponent of one man’s hopes and fears. It
was no longer the shaft of the partisan. It
gathered l£fe from the people, and spoke
tie-people's voice. Whether it is the popu
lar instinct, or whether to one man is
■given the power to mould a people’s wish,
it' is not in our province to say; but be that
as it may, this strange and mighty privilege
to the journalist, and from year to
-yeaT it is becoming more powerful.
It may seem strange that the possessors
of this amazing power should not be called
upon to exercise the duties of government.
In America, where the press is so generally
extended, it is strange that so few journal
ists should he called upon to hold executive
or administrative positions. With the ex
ception of Benjamin Franklin, we can
•think of no citizen prominent as a journal
ist who has held a high place in the
councils of the country. It is possible
that those responsibilities might be
more readily bestowed, if among the
leading men of our profession a desire did
•not exist to prefer the unobtrusive power
■of their newspapers to the expensive, ha
rassing, and unsatisfactory dignity of go
vernmental administration. We can easily
imagine how the conductor of a large and”
prosperous journal would be loth to sur
render Ms power—but the fact that the
editor is so rarely invited to do so is a mat
ter of wonder. If it is true, as the Tribune
states, that Mr. Bennett, of- the Herald,
has -been offered the mission to France,
it wiil show that Mr. Lincoln is not
unmindful of the advantage that the
country would receive from the services
of a gentleman of such experience. Few
American citizens are more essentially
representative than Mr. Bennett, and, as
the minister of a great Republic at the
■court of Napoleon, he would bring the
experience of seventy years, the influence
of Ms newspaper, the taste of a gentleman,
and the wealth of a prince. We are very*
' glad to unite with the Tribunt in regard
ing such an appointment as felicitous, and
in regretting that Mr. Behnhtt does not
see Ms way clear to entering upon its
.duties.
It is the misfortune of the journalist that
Ms own inclination makes him a hewer of
-wood and a drawer of water for those whom
he should despise. It is the misfortune of
journalism that an influence which, com
bined, would be irresistible, is wasted and
frittered away by internal dissensions. The
atrength and unity of sentiment that should
be given to the public welfare is devoted to
personal quarrels. Thiß should not be. The
- mission of the press is too Mgh and sacred
to be thrown away in absurd controversy.
To the world at large such contests have
no interest beyond the interest of the gos
sippers, and no effect but to bring our pro
fession into contempt. What is there in
the griefs of Hecuba that the people should
H’eep? - ,
. The Sew Jersey lunatic Asylum.
The first Constitution of Mew Jersey
■was adopted on July 2,17?g f
fore the Declaration oflndependence. It
Was intended. as a temporary form of go
vernment, and was entirely deficient in a
proper distribution of the legislative, exe
cutive, and judicial powers. The Legisla
ture'consisted of a Legislative Council and
mi Assembly, the latter body consisting of
three representatives from each county.
The Governor was elected for one year by
the Legislature in joint meeting, wMch
•body also possessed the power of electing
all the judicial and other officers in the
State. The Governor was-ex-officio Chan
cellor, and, of course, was a lawyer and
had' the appointment of the clerk of the
Court of Chancery. Whichever party,,
therefore, Mjd the Legislature, had the
whole executive, and, in fact, the judicial
power of the State. The evils of this
'Constitution were strongly felt, for the re
presentatives of the people were not chosen
simply to pass laws, but often only to con
fer valuable offices on tfieir friends, such
as the Surrogate of the County of Essex.
All parties were in favor of a change, but
the dominant faction always preferred to
tißelhe power vested in them by the peo
ple to reward their friends at the expense
of a great principle.
In 18® the Democratic party, with a
-numerical majority in the State, lost the
legislature by a close vote. John B.
Thomson, a native of Philadelphia, but au
adopted citizen of New Jersey, determined
fo bring this question of amending the Con
atitution before the people, and, although
not a speaker, he prepared an address,
wrMcb he delivered in different portions of
the State to bis fellow-citizens, without
■distinction of party, and he was aided in
ids efforts by other men of eminence. The
result was that the Whig party, which had
treated; the movement with contempt until
■witiiijitwb weeks of the election, was rout
ad, and a Legislature in favor of amending
—,—
the Constitution was elected. Mr. Thom
son prepared and the Legislature passed
the necessary laws for calling a convention,
which was elected, and was composed, by
agreement, of this most eminent men
of both parties, who framed the pre
sent Constitution, which was submit
ted to and ratified by the people.
Mr. Thomson, who was called the father
of the Constitution, was nominated for Go
vernor by the Democratic party, and de
feated by a division in Ms own party,
owing to a local jealousy. He was after
wards rewarded by being elected twice a
Senator of the United States, in which posi
tion he died a firm .and fast friend of Ms
country, and consistently opposed to the pre
sent wicked rebellion and its leaders. The
present Democratic politicians of New Jer
sey, in their persistent and violent and bit
ter opposition to the constitutional amend
ment abolisMng slavery, have entirely
forgotten the lessons of history, particu
larly in their own State. They have
tied themselves to the stake, and cast
their lot in with benighted Delaware
and half-rebellious Kentucky, whose Se
cession leaders would have taken both
States out of the Union. They have ar
rayed themselves against the whole Union,
and all the sympathies of the civilized
world; and any pure man,faking up tMs
question upon itß merits, independent of
all local and _ subsidiary questions, and
going before the people of New Jersey,
irrespective of party, and arguing it upon
the of public morality and
public'policy, must lay its opponents in
the dust. If this session passes without a
ratification of the constitutional amend
ment, the Democracy will be laid low, and
its leaders will find convenient rooms in : a
large building near Trenton, sometimes
called the State, Lunatic Asylum.
Sherman at Fayetteville can, without
much delay, establish communication with
Wilmington. The only theory upon which
disaster could be predicted was that he
would be without a base and in the front of
the enemy ; but the theory—not Sheb
man—is baseless.
Mb. John W, 'Forney will: deliver; a
lecture this evening* at Musical Fund Hall,
upon “Our Country, its Men and Mea
sures.” •
But two nights remain of the brilliant
engagement of Mrs. Landeb at the Arch
street Theatre, and this evening is set
apart for her benefit. Mrs. Landeb is
now the finest tragedienne of the American
stage, and her. return to it supplies a want
that has been deeply felt. It is a rare plea
sure to see acting of such dignity, refine
ment, and power.
Lvnchbubo Affroachbd by Shbbtdan —His
Fbtobb Movements.— lt Is said that General
Sheridan did not move on Lynchburg, alter fits oc
cupation of Charlottesville, because he ascertained
that it was strongly garrisoned by 11,000 men. He
could not afford, in the nature of things, with a
force scarcely larger than the garrison, to un
dertake any siege operations. They . would
be useless, > because a march to the right and
north would out the railroad and make Lynch
burg of no value. They would' be dangerous, be
cause his supplies were uncertain and Lee’s army
within easy striking distance. Good authority says
that Sheridan will join Grant by marching to the
White House, at the head of York river, threaten
Richmond on an exposed and weak side, and bo
ready to Immediately co-operate in any movement
Sherman’s march may induce. Grant to make. At
midnight on the day alter the receipt of Sheridan’s
despatch from Columbia the workmen In the Com
missary Department were ordered labored
for hours packing stores to he Bent per transports
up the York river. '
East Tennessee.— From recent numbers of the
Knoxville Whip It appears that on the Ith ofMaroh
the action of the people of Tennessee, February 22d,
in adopting the new Constitution, had been ratified.
More than seventeen counties, and a large portion
of the army, haye voted In favor of It almost unani
mously.
There havebeen several raids, murders, robberies,
and burnings of depots and houses. These may not
interest the publie In general, but they are some
what unpleasant to those who are prevented from
visiting their homes and their property because
their lives would be In danger. The editor of the
Brovsnlow Whig Is In favor of severer measures, of
less favor to Impenitent rebels who have taken the
amnesty oath, and of increased teourity to Union
men. The most pleasant feature In these papers
Is the readiness with which the Grand Jury hasdo
clded In favor of damages claimed by several Union
men who have suffered severely.

NO MORE INDISCRIMINATE TRADE WITH

order relative to trade in rebel States, with a view
to put an end to the Illegal lately attempted.
He says that all operations on Treasury bade per

AN ADVANCE.
Thelong-looked-for movement of this army has
at length commenced. It was known yesterday,
though not generally, that a move was on the ta
pis. The sick and wounded had been ordered .from
the hospitals at the front, and about eighty oar
loads of them were expected to arrive here to-day.
In addition to tMs significant fact, all the sutlers
at tbe front were likewise ordered to p&elc up and
leave last night, and the great majority of them ar
rived In the midnight train.
ITS OHASAOTBB.
Whether the movement will he a general one, or
merely by a single corps, remains to be seen.
Sutlers of the various corpß, who have reached
here, state that the 6th, 6 th, and 2d Corps had re
ceived their marcMug orders, and were In motion at
daylight this morning. Anotlgr version of the
sews, more credible, Is, that a single corps only has
moved, or perhaps two oorps. The >th Corps would
have rather an extensive job on hand to hold un
aldod the entire Hue of fortifications In our front.
BBBBL FEKPAEATIONa TO MEET IT.
The rebels are not unprepared for this movement,
and must have had timely intimation of its design.
All-day yesterday they were massing large bodies
of troops in front of the Bth Corps. Johnson’s oorps
of the rebel army was yesterday reviewed justoppo
site the 6th Corps, It was anticipated that an at
tack would be made on tiffs portion of our line last
night, and everytMng was held In readiness to repel
It. The troops were all at their posts, the artillery
hitched up, and all the needful precautions taken
to prevent a surprise or repel an assault. It was
supposed by Borne officers that the massing of troops
on the rebel right was a feint, as It was carried on
in broad daylight, and eould be distinctly seen from
onr lines. But there Is reason to suppose now that
It is a bona fide movement, Intended to check our
advance In that direction. We shall probably have
news of a battle before many hours, unless the
rebels conclude to retire.

of HORSE SHOE KIT if, about two mile* from tbs town
of WEST HE 10A. PBBSTON OOBHTY, WEST VIB
GIHIA, end about ronr miles from Cheat river, which
1* navigable. It was chosen for ita strougeurrace Indi
.cations.of.oil. and from lie■ close proximity to the
“Glade,” Which has been known as "Oil Glade”
long before rook oil came Into general nea.
On the adjoining Durm the owners, seven rears sines,
endeavoring to strike a vein of eoal, of which a heavy
veln le known .to underlie (his tract at.the depth of
thirty (SO)feet, struck oil, but net knowing the charac
ter or valse, made no further developments.
On the run which pars*, through this property the In
dleatlone of oil are strongly marked, not only from the
peculiar.npheaval and dip or lay of ’the sandstone rook,
and intervening beds of shale Incident ta.all sore oil
hearing lands, but aleo from the ocular demonstration
of it upon the surface of thewatcr. It has been, and is,
the custom of the dehei men In th« neighborhood to
light their faggote at night by setting Are to the oil
floating upon the water. Bait Works have been aban
doned in consequence of the oil interfering, with the
manufacturing of the same. The luge proportion of
bottomland In this tract, viz: eighty (89)acres, gives
it great advantage over moat tracts of thlolie, as there
le amide room for boring one hundredandsixty wells.
A number of leases may be made, paying a good royalty
without any expense to the Company. It is well to re
member that in this locality oil has been etinek in pay-,
ing quantities, at a depth of from thirty to one hundred
and fifty feet. A competent superintendent has been
engaged. Two engines, with all the necessary ma
chinery, will be forwarded at once, and the work
vigorously pushed forward. One 10-barrel well wiij
pay over 100 per cent, on the investment, and it Is con
fidently expected that oil will be struck in large qaan
tltiee, and that the stock will rise to par soon after it Is
all taken.
It is a noted fact that the famous Llewellyn and Eter
nal Centre wells of West Virginia flowed, the former
1,400, and the latter SCO barrels per day, and there 1 1
no reason why we cannot expect to ba as snccdssmlin
onr operations. Five Companies (two Baltimore, two
Philadelphia, and one Hew York,-) have already com
mented operations in the vicinity of the "Golden
Bnle Company, ’ ■ one of which has already etrnek oil.
■The object in making this a 10-eent Company is to
enable every one to enjoy the profits, and not, at most
Oil Companies do, permit the originators to mako large
* fortunes.
The motto, sufficiently explains onr Intention—
GOLDEN ETOB,”
Do unto others as you would bays others do unto yon.

The property of this Compear has been purchased at
the figure named, and the Directors offer a “gronnd
loor " intereet to any who desire to invest Feraoaa
desiring to invest in Oil Sleek would do well to compare
the value of the estates of this Company with those of
other oompanles Whose lands are of no particular
value as oil teiritory. fill the lands of the Standing
Stone Oil and Mining Company are located within the
great oil belt of West Virginia, and present unmls taka
hie dans of the existence of Test deposits oT petroleum
and lubricating oils. Wells have been soak on many
contiguous tracts, and millions of dollars are being
paid to stockholders in return for the small smonnt
actually invested.
Since the bocks of this Company were opened to the
public oyer thirty thousand shares of the stock have
been taken, and the remainder will all be sold in a
short time.
This Company Intend to develop the valuable mine
ral resources el their territory, and make it a profita
ble Investment.
Ore at advantages are proposed by the property of the
Standing Stone Oil and Mining Company, whoso estates
are located as follows;
One tract of land on Muddy Creek, a branch of MW die
Island Crook, tat Tyler comity, hear the great oil re
giouhof Greene and Fayette, on the borders of Penn
sylvania, This tract contains one hundred and fifty
acres, in fee simple, and has abundant mineral indica
tions. A well was struck on tbe Bth of January, In the
neighborhood, at tbe depth of three hundred feet, and
Is now flowing largely. The Oil Is lubricating, and, as
the land is convenient to the Ohio river, the cost of
transportation will be comparatively small.
A. tract of one hundred and thirty-four Boras, adjoin
ing the above, with nnnsnsl developments of Coal, An
timony, and Asphaltnm, in addition to the abundant
indications of Petroleum.
m.
A tract of land, In fee simple, containing sixty-four
acres, on Standing Stone Creek, within two miles at
the Little Kanawha, and in the Immediate vicinity el
the Burning Springs and ; Hushes river territory. This
land Is in the heart of the oil reaion of West Virginia,
and hitherto undeveloped on account of the
war, the indications of oil are unmistakable. Being
within two miles of the Kanawha river, the facilities
for transportation will save a large pircentags on the
price of the oil and uineralf.
Oa an adjoining property to the above a well, yielding
90 BABBBLS,
was '‘struck'’ a few days ago, and otherwells are in
progress on the neighboring properties.
A lease of ten acres on Little Kanawha river, In the
immediate vicinity of the great Llewellyn and Bath
hone Wells, which are the largest ever discovered in
the history of Petroleum, the lint flowing
3,000 BARRELS A DAY
when struck. This lease has great value from thc fact
that a new well, flowing
800 BABKSLB A DAT,
was struck last weak ou Burning Spring Bun, a short
distance from the property of the Slanting Stone Oil
and Mining Company.
A lease ad joining the above, for which the Company
give a royalty of one-tenth of the oil.
An efficient Superintendent has gone to manage the
affairs of the Company, and all machinery necessary
for the successful development of the will
soon be ready,
Wi invite the most rigid Investigation as to the value
of the lands above described, feeling confident that any
one competent to judge will not hesitate in saying that
they contain unusual indications of oil and minerals,
which, together with, a dense growth of valuable Um
ber, make this one of the most desirable Investments.
