MONPAk, MARCH 20, 1865. The Wail of Jefferson Davis. JbffebsonDayis Mb spoken to the peo ■ple of the. South in the language of pro phecy and penitence. He may not hare intended it,, but he plainly predicts the quick-coming overthrow of the rebellion, Mid as plainly repents of his part in it. Such a document as this would, in ordinary limes,": stir 'the dullest people to rerolt. The confession of Davis must now impel the Southern population to a speedy sur render to the National authority. He asks impossibilities and he recommends im possibilities. And he knew this when Me sent his wail into the so-called Confede rate Congress. The farmers refuse to give their produce to the despots for the ■Wretched paper money of the rebels. To demand this is not only an insult to them, but a robbery to boot. And inorder to get food for the army, Davis asks for "two millions of dollars in coin!’’ How is he to get it? One of the Richmond papers urged, a few weeks ago, that the specie should be got out of the Bichmond banks ; in other words, that these banks should be plundered for the sake of keeping up the rebellion. In fact, Davis proposes a grand scheme of spoliation upon the private property of the people of the South. To this end he further proposes that the law should be re pealed which prohibits the officers of ■the army from impressing provisions without making payment at the time they are impressed. His excuse for this is that the limit for issuing treasury notes is nearly reached, and that these notes ‘cannot furnish prompt payment for these supplies ; and he coolly adds that the law to raiSe revenue from taxes is useless, aud has only been signed by his ragged Majesty ! And then he utters this most dismal groan: "In ihU condition of things it is impossible io supply the army, although ample stores may exist in the country." But.take the remainder of this forlorn and heart-broken passage: ~ ii whenever the owners refuse to give credit to the pnblle officer it is necessary that this restriction on the power of impressment be removed. The power is admitted to be objectionable, Itable to abase, and unequal in Itß operation on individuals; yet all these objections must yield to absolute necessity. It Is also snggested that the system of valuation no w established ought to be radically changed. Toe le gislation requires in such oases of Impressment that the market price be paid; but there is really no market price In many oases, and then vaiuatlon ls made arbitrarily, and In a depredated currency. The result is that the most extravagant prices are fixed, such as no one ever expects to be paid in coin. Hone believe that the Government can ever redeem In coin the obligation to pay fifty dollars a bushel for com, or Beven hundred dollars a barrel for flour. It would seem to be more just and appropriate to estimate the supplies Impressed at their v&lae in coin—-to give the obligation of the Government for the payment of the price In coin, with reasonable Interest, or, at the option of the oredltor, to retnm ■ in hind the wheat or com impressed, with a reason able Interest, also payable In hind, and to make the obligations thus leaned receivable for all payments due in coin to Whatever be the value attached by OangreßS to these suggestions, it Is hoped that there will be no hesitation in so chang ing the law as to render it possible to supply the army in case of necessity by the impressment of provisions for that purpose.” It is unnecessary to point out other por tions of this message. The whole case is given up. All that we have ever contended would happen to the authors of this con spiracy has already happened, and now the witness is the chief of the conspirators him self. How long can such a rebellion last? How long can a people endure who are de prived of their sons, brothers, aud fathers, and then plundered of their hard earnings? This, we are told by Dayis, is the dark est hour of the rebellion; and he seems resolved to make it so dark that the sun will never rise upon it again. The gloom of defeat has come, and it is to be suc ceeded by the midnight of despair. "We shall soon hear either that the Southern people have accepted Mr. Lincoln's con ditions of peace, or have hurled Davis from the power he first usurped and then abused. Advanced Carriage Fares. There is a municipal tariff which, fixes the amount of fares to be legally claimed by the drivers of carriages which ply for hire in our streets. No one now pretends to pay the-regulated fares—the amount of ‘which has never been officially reduced, ■and, unless the hirer makes a bargain bB - he is at themereyofthe driver’s cupidity. Carriage-owners, in the face of the-steady fall in gold, have combined to raise the price of their vehicles attending funerals. We would suggest that they may attain the desired result, without imposing a fresh exaction on the public, by discon tinuing the per centage which is now paid to undertakers, viz: fifty cents par car riage, to most of the trade, and, in a few instances, as much as seventy-five cents . for each funeral trip. The whole system of having a long line of carriages at fu nerals is extremely costly and a terrible tax, to the nominal honor of the dead,' upon the means, often scanty, of the survivors; We might advantageously adopt the En glish plan, of having no carriages at a funeral, except those containing the nearest male relatives of the deceased. Cost of Xdvlng. The great decline in gold has not yet had the effect, in Philadelphia, of reducing the. prices of provisions, except eggs. On the contrary, meat averaged about two cents a pound higher, on Saturday, than it had reached since the war commenced, The market-people, quick and ready in raising prices when gold is “up,” are slow in re ducing them now that it is v down,” Country produce—which includes meat, fowl, and vegetables—is, higher than be fore. Bread is a little lower, and so is fish—the supply of the latter, however, be ing always too small for out population, which is nearly, if not quite, as large as thht of New York. The retail grocers have reduced their prices, and the dry goods’ vendors have alsocome down; and, no doubt, the fall in gold, should it con tinue, will still further operate to the ad vantage of the public. The country dealers, the first to raise their prices, will be the last to lower them. The advance which they clapped on, last Saturday, is wholly unwarrantable. They know, of course, that the public are at the mercy of their ■established monopoly. WASHINGTON. Washington, March 18,1885, IHDIAH SAT AGES ARMED AGAINST US.

A despatoh to the Herald, dated City Point, Maich IT, saja: A despatoh from White House this morning, via Torktown and Fortress Monroe, states that Sherl dad had not arrived is that vicinity up to that time. Scouts sent out to communicate with him yeeterday proceeded as far as Hanover Junction without ob taining any reliable Information of his “where abouts.” They were Informed by citizens that Pickett’s division was sent to Ashland station, four teen miles north of Richmond and ten south of Hanover Junction, to Intercept Sheridan’s advanoe in that direction, and that a fight came off between the respective forces two days before. Wo one was found able or willing to furnish particulars con cerning the result, although It Was conceded to have been in our favor. The same scouts were to be sent ont as far as Bal tem’s bridge to-day, IB the hope of meeting Sheri dan’s forces, or Obtaining additional information concerning them. This account agrees precisely with the statements of deserters and exchanged prisoners. The latter state that Pickett’s division passed Oastle Thunder in great haste on last Sunday, on their way to meet Sheridan, and the former bring in the news of an engagement “ somewhere between Richmond-and Hanover Junction.” The deserters also confirm the report of Sheridan’s suoce&r.

This story was also vouched for by a rebel officer, who stated that he was In Jackson on the day the stockade was destroyed. ... The Herald also learns from parties who ran the gauntlet and came In from beyond the Big Black river, that the .lines of communication between ns bad been closed by order of Forrest, and no cotton or people are allowed to come within the Union Uses. Also, that a goodly number of the late Gene ral Hood’s command are scattered through the country from Bodney to Yazoo Olty, and that they are levying black mall on all ootton coming In and other property going out of outlines. This Is done, of course, In violation of Forrest’s order, who does not lnteßd that any sort or trade Shall go on.

Thousands of timber . logs, with millions- of feet of sawed lumber, have already passed this point. intelligence from .the north and west of ns In dicates the most frightful destruction of pri vate and public property on the many streams emptying into the Susquehanna. Bridges have been swept away and torn to pieces, ana from the character of the ruins floating by Harrisburg it Is fair tn Irfer that many dwelling-houses, barns. Sic,, have been swept from tl e shores. At 7 o’clock this morning it was ascertained that the bridges at Northumberland, Duncan's Island, and part or the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge, above this olty, had-beea carried away, while, as I write, a bridge, said to be Iron) the Juniata, is being borne with fearful vlolenoe down the stream. , . The Cumberland Valley Railroad bridge, which is also used by the Northern Railroad; is in Immi nent danger, several spans at the eastern end being snbmtrgedtothe depth or two feet. It is scarcely possible, as the water is steadily rising, that the submerged portion can resist the force of the flood for many hoars. There have been no traios passing through Har risburg from Pittsburg or Philadelphia for the last twelve hours. The lower part or the olty is com pletely submerged, and much suffering has been In ilioteo upon the poor families living in that part of thesnbmbs. At Middletown, Danphln oounty, and the villages along the shore .dear to Columbia, In Lancaster county, the destruction of private property and the suffering among individuals is immense. The fires in several iron furnaces have'beon quenched, and, of course, the furnaces will ohill. . Thousands of dollars’ worth of lumber,' usually Stocked at Marietta, Uolnmbla, and Middletown, was swept away. The bank In front or the city has been lined all day with thonsands of people, watch ing the progress of the flood. Families are . being removed from the streets In the tower section of the city, which was not approaohed by the waters of the great flood of 1846, but which are now oon3ldered in imminent danger. of being overflowed. Our olty water works are completely submerged, and all the pumps stopped. It Is conceded on all hands, alike' by onr oldest inhabitants and experienced river -men, that this ts the most immense flood that has taken place in the Susquehanna within the memory of man.' Dakvillk, Pa., March 18.—The most destructive flood ever heard of Is now ragtag on the north branch of the Susquehanna. The railroad is Bab merged, and all travel suspended. All the bridges on the west branch as far as Wil liamsport are gone. The Lackawanna and>Blcoms butg Railroad is under water In pioeea tea feet. The canal in manv places is completely destroyed. Halfof Danville Is under water, and the river Is raptdty rising. The wires south have been broken by the cables across the Susquehanna, at Havre de-Gracc, being carried away. We are consequently without de spatches from Baltimore and Washington. Bai.timoek, March 19.—The. break in the tele graph at the Susquehanna is not yet repaired, and all messages have to be sent across the river by the boat. Tbia neotssarlly onuses considerable delay, hat It will probably be remedied in the oourse of to morrow. It is not certainly kt owa as yet to what extent the cable is damaged. It la probably only broken loose on one aide, and as soon as the high water passes off can be under run and readjusted. The weather continues clear and pleasant. The Freshet in Sew York:. Albany, March 18—Owing to tho damage to the track between Uastleton and Stnyvesant by the freshet, no trains have arrived or gone out on the Hudson Railroad to-day.

A tele ■gram received from Fonda tuts evening says the tracks will be In running order as soon as the water falls sufficiently to enable them to see the tracks. The greatest damage done to this road is la the vi cinity of Fonda, where three ot four miles of the road have been washed away. Telegraphing to points west of Fonda cannot be resume! before Monday or Tuesday morning.

The water is three feet deep in the Aroade Building at Ro chester, preventing all Ingress or egress. All the •lower portion of Rochester is under water, and'the damage will be enormous. There is no oommnnloa ■ tion from one part of the olty to the other. No papers will be published, the water having extin guished the fires under their boilers. There is no telegraphic communication east of Utica as yet, but the Western Union Company are making efforts to have their lines, working by to-night. The Injuries to the Erie road extend over a dis tance oi nearly 100 miles, mostly east of HoroeUs ville, and there are several breaks between Hornells. vilie and Dunkirk.

Persons desiring to invest la Oil Stock would do well to compare tbe value of Ike estate* of this Company with tkoße of other companies whose land* are of no particular value as oil territory. All the lands of the Standing Stone Oil and Minina Company are located within the great oil belt of West Virginia, and present unmlstaka ble eigne of the existence of vast deposits of potrolenm and lubricating oils. Welle bare been sank on many contiguous tracts, and millions of dollars ara being paid to-stockholders In return for the email amount aetnally invested. iitc*be borki of this Company were opened to the public over thirty thousand shares of the stock hare been taken, and the remainder will all be sold In a short time. This Company intend to develop the valuable mins, ral lesogtees Ot their territory, and make it a profita ble investment. Great edvantages are proposed by tbe property of the Standing Stone Oil and Mining Company, whose estates are located as follows: One tract of land on Muddy Creek, a branch Of Middle Island Creek, In Tyler connty, near the great oil re lions'of Greene and Payette, an the borders of Penn sylvania, This tract contains one hnndred and fifty sens, in fee simple, and has abundant mineral indica tions. A well was struck on the Mb of January, in'the neighborhood, at the depth of three hundred feet, and la sow 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 acres, adjoin ing the above, with unusual developments of Coal, An timony, and Asphaltum, in addition to the abundant indications of Petroleum. A tract of land. In fee simple, containing sixty-four acres, on Standing Stone Creek, within two miles of the little Kanawha, and in the Immediate vicinity of the Burning Springs and Hughes river territory. This land is in the heart of the oil region of West Virginia, and al trough hitherto undeveloped on soaonnt of the war, the Indications of oil are unmistakable.- ’Being within two miles of the Kanawha Ever, tbe facilities for transportation will save a large ptrcentege on the price of the oil and minerals. On an adjoining property to the above a well, yielding 90 BARBELS. was “struck” a*few days ago, and other wells are lu progress on the neighboring properties. A lease of tea acres on Little Kanawha Ever, In the. immediate vicinity of the greet Llewellyn and Bath bona Wells, which are the largest ever dlscovereS In the history of Petroleum, the first, flowing 3,000 BABBKLS A DAY when struck. This lease has great veins from the fact that a new well, flowing - 800 BABBELS A DAY, was Btruck list week on. Burning Spring Bun, a short distance from the property of the Standing Stone Oil and Mining Company. - A lease adjoining tbe above, for which tbe COHXPany live a royalty of one-tenth of the oil, ? An efficient Superintendent has gone to manage the affairs of the Company, and ail machinery necessary for the successful development of the property will soon be reedy. We invite tie mOBt rigid investigation as to the value of the lends above described, feeling confident that any one competent to judge will not hesitate in caving that they contain nnncnal indications of oil and minerals, which, together with a dense growth of valuable tim ber, make this one of the most desirable Investments.
