LETTER FROM 64 OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, July 2, 1865
Let us take an observation of recent
years before we yield to present arguments
on the question of colored suffrage, how
ever plausible these arguments may seem
10 be. In this review we shall find Abra
ham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson side by
Bide on the same platform. On the origi
nal question, with all its holy and impres
sive duties, they were inspired by a reli
gious enthusiasm. They never doubted
that the Republic should be and must be
preserved at all hazards. With this for a
faith and a foundation, they had no diffi
culty in the beginning, the progress, and
the ending of the rebellion. Johnson, in
December of 1860, in the Senate of the
"United States, and Lincoln, in February
of 1861, at Independence Hall, enunciated
this principle in emphatic and memorable
language. But if this was their example,
there were others who did not follow it.
Many honest men, not of the secession,
nor of the Northern sympathetic school,
firmly believed that it Would save a vast
effusion of blood and incalculable losses
of treasure and property, if the Southern
States were permitted to go in peace.
These statesmen were the known enemies
of slavery. They had led the great aboli
tion movements of former years. They
had filled the press with truthful pictures
of the horrors of Southern serfdom. Poli
ticians and parties had been swayed and
conquered by their able and persevering
agitations ; and when Mr. Lincoln was
elected President, he was claimed to be of
their particular opinion and purpose.
And yet many of these lead.
ing minds were more than willing to
allow four millions of human beings remain
in slavery, after Mr. Lincoln's election in
1860, ;if by that war could be averted,
and the North and North.west left in unob-
StrUcted possession of the domain they
then occupied. The first weeks of the con
flict did not dispel this theory, but rather
strengthened the purposes of those who ad
vocated it. That it did not succeed, un
consciously strengthened as it was by Pre
sident Buchanan's plea that there was no
power in the Government to coerce a State
to remain in the Union ; by John Van
J3uren's counael that "the erring sisters
.should depart in peace ;" by the threats of
the seceders themselves, and by the in
trigues of the Northern Democrats, is be
cause Abraham Lincoln, the champion of the
poor colored masses of the South, and An
drew Johnson, the champion of the poor
'white masses of the South, had sworn, and
in this solemn oath were sustained by an
irresistible army of their countrymen, that
"the Federal Union must and should be
preserved." I only recall and record a
historical fact. The colored as well as the
'white citizen should ponder it. That the
right of suffrage may be given as a weapon
of self-protection to all intelligent men of
whatever clime or complexion, is the teach
ing of the best humanity and the purest de
mocracy. But we must take care no to make
tests or parties on impossibilities. Those
who clamor for universal suffrage to
multitudes, should have the char
ter of consistency as well as of right. They
should not be men who only a few years ago

man beings in slavery, with their posterity,
at the mercy of an arrogant and over
reaching aristocracy;:and by this surren

for the white races of the North. .The
liberation of these slaves, the defeat of the
rebellion, the subjugation of the slave
masters, was the work of those who never
doubted that the Union would stand, who
rejected all propositions for its separation,
and resisted alike those who were willing
to give it up and those who used force to
effect its destruction. In their hands, as
the best friends of the colored man, lam

AN EPItiODE OP THE WAIR,
Services of a Reemaylvania Regiment.
[Swazi Correepondenee of ß The Press.)
iLLTI await, July 1,18e6.
The work of guarding the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, from Washington City to Pachersbuor,
on the Ohio river, a dbtantst of about four hundred
Mies, was one of the most important services per.
fanned by any part WM) army, in the war that had
just terminated. Two or three isolated facts will
serve to Illustrate this truth, which will become
more evident as the history of the war is gradually
revealed , Owing to the peculiar location of the
road, its proximity to the seat of war, and its rela
tions to the war itself, it has been called upon to
transport fully ten times as many troops, and ten
time as Mlle ammunition, as any other railroad in
the Union.
On the 20th of August, 1882, the officer, of the
road received orders from the War Department to
move thd division of Gen. Cox from the Gaulay
region, in Western Virginia, to Washington. The
eireumstazces under which this order was executed
exhibit in a strong light the excellent management
of the road, tinder the most trying difficulties. The
prompt and rapid transportation of these 8,000
troops was of the greatest service to the Govern
leant at Mat time, which was the period just as
Gen. Pope's battles in Virginia were commencing.
This was considered, and justly so, a great feat at
the time, but it has since been surpassed by in
stances of railroad transportation of far greater
magnitude and importance. In October, 1868, the
movement of Gen. Hooker's two corps from Wash
legton to the West, to join Gen. Roseerans in his
campaign against Chattanooga, took place on this
road. On this occasion 23,000 troops, with their
equipage and ammunition Complete, and their
train of 1,800 wagons, were safely and rapidly trans
ported from Washington to Wheeling. More re
cently Gen. Scofield's army of 26,000 men were
transported over this road, from Wheeling to Wash.
ington, to co-operate with Gen. Sher man in North
Carolina, and to take part in the final battles be
fore Petersburg. These are prominent instances of
the value of that railway as a military road. They
are all surpassed by the great movement which has
taken place within a few days past, and which ex
ceeds anything in the history of railroads. We
allude, of Course, to the transportation to the West,
Trom Washington, of 160,000 of the troops recently
assembled around the national capital. This move.
meet, which has been made safely, and almost
without accident, may properly be regarded as the
climax of the many and groat military services ren
dered by this road.
The vast importance to the Government of having
it at all times in running order, and of having it
wall stocked with cars and engines, was as apparent
to the rebel authorities at Richmond as to our own
Government. Renee the persistent effort!! Of the
rebels to destroy the road, and hence the necessity
of keeping it well guarded.
In the latter work,a Pennsylvania regiment (the
54th Pennsylvania Volunteers.) played a consplou
ons part. The service whioh this regiment rendered
was of too signal a nature to be allowed to pass into
oblivion ; and we propose in this article to do jus•
Lice to the brave men who, as will be seen, per
formed the task entrained to them with a conrasee
that never faltered, and with a devotion that no
hardship eould weaken. If, in what fellows, we
speak chiefly of the gallant colonel of the regiment,
it will be understood that this is done merely for
convenience, and because he was the head and soul
of the regiment. If he had not been eeconded by
the zealous co-operation of his intelligent and de
voted officers, and by the willing obedience and the
dauntless courage of his men, his admirably arranged
plans would have been frustrated by -the wily
Strategies or the ever active enemy. Nor Mist it
be forgotten that Colonel Campbell had, at asi
times, the prompt and zealous ao , operazion of the
officers of the road, who, on all occasions, were
ready to afford him whatever aid he required, and
who, at great expense to the Company, kept him
supplied with ample facilities for transportation,
&a. Without this co-operation on the part of the
road, Colonel Campbell, of course, would have been
unable to awry out his plans with the requisite
The duty assigned to the regiment was to guard
that part of the railroad lying west of Harper's
Ferry and Martinsburg, from North Mountain
station, 107 miles west of Baltimore, to South
Branch Bridge, at the mouth of the south branch
of the Potomac river, 161 miles west of Baltimore
and 17 miles southeast of Cumberland—being a dis
tance of 54 miles-and to picket the adjacent coun
try. Five companies of the regiment were from
Cambria county ; three from Somerset county, and
MO from Lehlth county. The regiment wan com
manded by Colonel Jacob M. Campbell, who, with
all of his staff officers, ace residents of Johnstown,
Cambria. county.
The regiment left Washington on the 29th of
March, 1862, under orders to report to Gen. Dixon
H. Miles, at Harper's Ferry, Under the order of
General Mlles, to locate the companies at ten dif
ferent points, the following disposition was made of
the foroe
CO. G-, Capt. F. B. Long, at Back Crook Bridge,
Ile miles west of Baltimore.
Co. F, Capt. G. W. P. Davis, at Sleepy Creek
Brioge, 117 miles west of Baltimore.

Co. K, Capt. Edmund R. Newland, at Little Ca

Co. A, Capt. john P. Sutor, at South Branch
Bridge.
The headquarters of the regiment were esta
blished at Sir John's Run, near the Oacapon Moun
tains, in Morgan county, Virginia. Colonel Caton.
tell soon discovered that his position was one that
required the abiliticS Clan administrative and judi.
cial offloor, quite as Mach as those of a military
commander. In two of the counties through
which his command extended (Morgan and Ramp
shire,) there was no recognized civil officer or
rosgistrate of any description whatever; all the
civil and military officers having espoused the rebel
cause. Those, of the citizens who remained at
home were divided in their political sentiments,
and personal ill-feeling existed among them to a
great extent.
Nearly all had grievances, real or imaginary, to
complain of, and they sought redress from the only
power within their reach. Many of the farms along
the line of the road, whose owners were in the
Southern army, were abandoned, the fences de
stro)ed, and the buildings , going to ruins. Keay
families were without a proper shelter, their homes
having been destroyed by one or the other of the
contending parties.
The first object to which Colonel Campbell de.
voted his attention, was a complete and thorough
examination of the country 111 a military point of
view, Bo as to guard his troop!! against surprise.
Having accomplished this, he next proceeded to
hear and determine the various complaints and dis
putes of the inhabitants. As he deemed law to be
out of the question, he resolved to decide all oases
brought before him on principles of justice and
equity, as far as it was in his power to do so. many
of the vacant farms along the line of the road, whose
owners were known to be in the Confederate army,
he gave out to competent and worthy persons,
"until such time as it should be otherwise directed
kiy competent and lawful authority? upon the con
dition that after the first year, "one-third of the
produet of said land shall be given over to such
officer as may be_ designated by the Government of
the United States, or other legal authority, to re.
oeive the same?
All the fences having been destroyed, they were
to be rebuilt by the persons farming the land dur
ing the first year. By this means many families
were enabled to live comfortably, who would other
wise have been reduced to want and Starvation.
Many of the most eritilisposed persons were com
pelled by Colonel Campbell to give bonds for their
future good behavior ; and many who had differ
ences of a personal character, when brought before
him, he induced to shake h ands in his presenoe,
and become Mends. It was not Ring before this
wife and judicious course resulted In greatly ame
liorating the condition of the people, and in estab
lishing good order and comparative seearity. Even
the people of secession proclivities soon began to
regard Colonel Campbell as a fair and impartial
man, and "not snob a bad fellow, for a Yankee, o
as they g pad expected to ilnd him.
The men under his command had the most posi
tive orders not to interfere with the private property
of any citizen, or to molest them in any Manner,in
their lawful pursuits. These orders were implicitly
aleyed, and in the course of a couple of menthe the
troops and the.citizens of the country were on the
beet terms with each other, and all went on smooth
ly. Had a similar policy been pursued everywhere
;n the South, much bitterness and 111-feeling would
have beeh avoided. In the southern parts of Morgan
and Hampshire counties, however, there MN many
lawless characters, who continued to commit depre
dations upon their More peaceful neighbors near the
r atlroad. FreqUent Complaints wore made against
them, particularly in Hampshire county, where an
organized band of guerlllao had been formed under
one James Edwards.
OCCASIONAL
Frequent expeditions were sent out for the arrest
of Edwards and his party, but Edwards always
eluded the military, while many of his partisans
Were captured. in OAO of these expeditions, sent
cut from Little Cacepon under Captain Newhard,
Edward's was shot through the hand. On another
sent out from No. 12 Water Station ' under Lieut.
Lewis, his brother was shot in the head. Neither of
them were ever captured, as their intimate he
quaintanes with the country enabled them to elude
pursuit, and the more peaceful citizens held them
in Such dread teat they would give no information
of their whereabonto. Their captured partisans
were brought to headqnlitera, where they were
confined in the old cooper Shop, jot back of the
railroad station, at Sir John's Run. They were
terwards sent to liarper'S Ferry, Baltimore, or
Washington, according to the hrado of their offence,
fir kept in confinement and then released on giving
bones and taking the oath of allegiance. The old
coopar shop prison at Sir John's Run, will long be
Temembered by the citizens of Berkeley, Morgan,
and Hampshire counties.
un Sunday, May 25, all the locomotives and Me
• a the railroad west of Harper% terry were sent
towards Cumberland, the engineers and firemen on
the treble giving the first news of the expected ap
proach of the rebel General Jackson towards Kap
tinsburg, and the retreat of General Banks. The
TIOWI3 caused the utmost consternation among the
citizens along the Ihm. Colonel Campbell, who
teas out on the mountain south of Caput bridge at the
time, arrived at the railroad in time to stop and de.
tatn the last locomotive on the road, as it was in
cho sot of passing, and ordered it book to Sir John's
Run, as he expected the telegraph wire would be

that bad not been destroyed by the rebels the year
before. It was of great importance that this bridge
should be protected. The endive, which had been de.
tamed at Sir John's Run, was sent by Col. Campbell
as ter down as Beek Creek, to.remove the company
there to Sleepy Creek, sir miles farther west; and
also to natty the other companies to prepare to

yllcd their camp and_ garrison equippage on board

Creek. They left the bridge about midnight. The
rebel pickets advanced as they fell bank, and set
fire to the bridge, the light of which was plainly
visible before the company arrived at Sleepy Creek
On 'dewlap, May 26:h. a train of oars arrived
woo; Cumberland, and all the companies were sac.
espelvely taken On board. The regiment -arrived at
South Branch the UM° day, and encamped OD the
elope of the bill, at the west end of the bridge. On
the 28th a reconnoissance was Mt 10 Cherry Bun,
but no satisfactory Information could be obtained
below that point. On the 31st Colonel Campbell,
with sto men, made a reconnoissance as far down
the road as Back Creek, where the bridge was found
destroyed, but no enemy in eight. The same night
be returned to South Branch, and telegraphed to
Gen. Miles, by way of Wheeling, the state of affairs,
and asked if be should resume hie former position
on the road. Ile received no answer.
On the let of June, after having repeatedly asked
for orders, and not receiving any reply, Col. Camp
bell sent two companies, under Major Linton, as
far as Great Caoapon, to protect that bridge, as he
feared that some of the evildlsposed persons in
that vicinity, in the absence of any protecting force,
might destroy it. On the Sd of June, the first de
spatch from General Miles was received, as follows
" Colonel Campbell and command will reoccupy the
railroad, as before." That night found all the 00M•
ponies at their old posts.
From the 28th of May to the 12th of June, it
rained almost incessantly. The Potomac became
so mutt swollen that the water overflowed
its banks. The flood aeoomplished what the rebels
bad failed to do, and carried away the railroad
bridges at Great and Little Cacapon, on the 6th of
June. These, however, were only temporary striae.
tures, and were soon replaced by more durable
bridges,
From this time to September lath, but little of
Interest occurred, except the movement to which
we alluded in the opening of this article. The re
gular business of the railroad was resumed : the
vast amount of tonnage passing over the road, day
and night, clearly demonstrating the necessity of
keeping this great thoroughfare open, as a military
road alone, to say nothing of the vast accommo
dation which it afforded to the public at large.
Alter Stonewall Jackson and his forces had been
driven from the Shenandoah valley, this :motion of
the country became infested with numerous gangs
of horse.thieveS and guerillas!, Horses were stolen
indiscriminately from all parties. The thieves took
them across the Potomac into Maryland and Penn
sylvania, where they found a ready sale for them to
Government contractors. Two hundred and seventy.
three horses In all were taken from these thieves, as
they attempted to cross the Potomac: Into Maryland.
Many of them were returned to theirlaWful owners.
All that Were not claimed and proven were turned
in at liarper , S Ferry for the use of the Government.
The guerillaS,. also, became more troublesome,
as they destroyed much private property, and were
a great terror to the peaceful citizens. Many of
the, latter were seised and taken to Richmond.
Frequent expeditions were sent out against them,
and at various times parties and squads of them
were caplired. From the Yet of June to the lath of
September, the regiment captured in all two hun
dred and thirteen of these guerillas.
At six o'clock P. AL, on the 11th of September
telegraphic COMMatiloation was destroyed between
Harper'S Ferry and Sir John's Ron west, the forces
under General Stonewall Jackson having again
reached the railroad at North Mountain station,
seven miles west of Martinsburg, and two miles
east of the limits of Colonel Campbell's department
at Baelocreek bridge,where Captain Long's com
pany was stationed. Colonel Campbell being thus
out off from communisation east with headquarters,
and this time without any orders, he telegraphed
west to General Rally, stating the condition or
affairs and asking for orders. On the 12th, General
Kelly replied that ho would not assume to give any
orders, but would advise Colonel Campbell to fall
back if the enemy advanced in saperlor force.
Colonel Campbell, however, resolved to hold and
defend the road as long as possible, and not to give
It up unless assailed by an overwhelming force.
In assuming this responsibility, his only hope of
inteCeSS Wall to create the impresston that he had a
much larger fern at each one of his ten posts than
he really had ttpOn the entire road. The tinder•
teking.was a mosthaeardons ono, as he was without
artillery or cavalry, with nothing bat an infantry
regiment to hold flfty.six miles of railroad, when
there was not a Federal soldier in Virginia west of
Haman: Ferry and east of the South Branch. Bat
the importance of preserving the road, and the dan
ger to the town of Cumberland, which would result
from its abandonment, will be apparent to every
one who will examine the map of Virginia. If
Colonel Campbell had abandoned the road, the
rebels would have had access to the entire country
between Harper ) !!! Ferry and Cumberland. Romney
was at that time already in their possession, and
Cumberland would have fallen an easy prey, as
General Kelly had no troops to protect that place.
Accordingly, on the 12th, instead of abandoning
the road, he took detachments from the three coon
patties at Sir John's Run, Hancook, and Back Creek,
and proceeded down the road, in open platform oars,
past Back Creek, towards North Mountain, having
previously sent ten men, under Major Linton, to
the mountain to watch the movements of the enemy
es they passed. After the main body of the rebels
bad passed, and their rear guard had come to North
Mountain station, Colonel Campbell, with his
party of sixty-six men, attacked them vigorously,
putting the whole rear guard to flight, killing two,
wounding seven, and taking nineteen prisoners,
with thirty stand of arnite, aDll Otte artillery caisson.
So panic-etricken were the rebels When this small
party: merged from their hiding-place in the woods:
that they fled in all directions, supposing the at
tacking force to be mach larger. Fearing to expose
his weakness, the Colonel did not pursue the enemy
far, but returned to the railroad with his prisoners,
arms, and 081880 n, and then proceeded to Sir John's
Run.
On the next day he established a telegraph office
near the bridge, so that he could communicate
readily with Major I.inton, at Back Creek. On the
10th, learning that the enemy's pickets were in Sight
at Back Creek, he proceeded down the road with
two hundred men. From the position of the enemy's
pickets they could see one side of Major Linton's
camp at the bridge. The colonel therefore marched
his two hundred men into camp on that side, pass
ing them over the hill, out of sight of the enemy,
and again back on to the road and through tee
camp. This was continued for two hours, and left
the impression on the minds of the rebel plokets that
the pest had been Stronglyroinforced. The colonel
then prepared three logs of wood, shaped like Can
non, hollowed at the small end, and mounted them
in a scientific manner upon the wooden breratwork
during the night. Black gum blankets, were sewed
tightly around them, and at a little distance they
presented the appearance of tram formidable siege
guns. If the traveller, after leaving North Ecu.a.
tab Station, going west, and after he passes through
the deep cat, will observe a high, rocky bluff on the
right.hand side of the road, and just at the end of
the bridge, he will see, upon the top of this hie,
which rises almost perpendicularly from the creak
below, a rude-looking breastwork of logs and earth.
If he can imagine three forialdablirlooking siege
guns projecting over the breastwork, he will have
an idea of Colonel Campbell's Quaker fort.
Skirmishing with the enemy's pickets was kept
up almost daily until about September 21. On that
day Colonel Campbell learned that a large rebel
force was approaching the bridge fOr the purpose or
destroying it. Whereupon he sent his train to Sonth
Branch, with orders to bring down fifty men from
each company, and to return to Back Creek with
them (amounting to five handred mon) by daylight
on the 21d. The engine got out of order, however,
and the train had only arrived at Cherry llua, three
Miles West of Back Creek, by a o'clock. In the
Meantime, the party at the bridge Were attacked by
two regiments of rebel infantry, two regiments of
cavalry, and Mx pieces of artillery. Major Linton,
seeing the overwhelming force of the enemy, fell

On the morning of October 4, Captain Newhart's
company, at /Atte Mown, twenty4Wo miles east

numbering in all seven hundred men. Captain
Newhart was completely surrounded and surprised;

enemy being a volley fired from his own rifle.plts,

The Last Vase or IKeurtleei Cruelty.
The Portland (Blaine) Argus gives the following
sheount of the heartless affair which resulted
in the death of a horse, and which hall heretofore
been briefly alluded to In the telegraphio Columns
of The Press :
Lyon, a family horse, was put In training ten
days ago, and up to the day of the retie easily did
his exercise of sixty miles per day. He was In
charge of his owner and the 'driver, Mr. Frank
Briggs. The animal was a gelding, large and thin
in flesh—apparently all bone and muscle—weighed
come ten hundred, and stood hearty sixteen hands
high. Bin age was ten years, his color black, and
he was raked In Maine. Men were Sent a head to

heartless affair. To drive the noble animal to death
was more than cruel—it was wicked. Stash matches

the horse had previously been driven ninety miles

Tits NEAT QUESTION—THE BEAL QUESTION AT
Issun.—The question at issue betweon the btachers
and the public is becoming very clear and distinct,
It amounts to whether, in time of great agricultural
plenty, with grass more abundant than for years,
with gold at half the price it was a year , ago, and
with a general reduotlon in articles of food and
wearing apparel, this city shall be forced, against
alt reason and common sense, to say nothtnyr of hon.
esty, to pay a perfectly ridiculous price for Its meat.
There can be no hesitation as to what the ultimate
remit will be, and every person who abstains from
meat hastens it. There are many great hotels
whose proprietors can help in the matter; their
customers, at all eventa, will find on the various
bills of fare plenty of substitutes for meat. Let
those who dine at restaurants follow In the same
track. Somebody is bound to be hurt if the public
chooses.
THE MCAT QuiniTiON AGAM—To the Editor of
the New York Times: Yon will remember, doubtless,
for it is but a fete years since, that the Sale of meat
and vegetables in ChM city wee Confined to the Mar
ket places. Then the butchers of New York Were
a respectable class of mon, and some of them, whom
I could name, but forbear, were citizens of the first

exorbitantprices then. But anon there came a time
when, to be considered a aced Democrat, &Juan

The city at that time, as it does now and always
will, required a certain amount of meat to feed its
population. Now the question—if one hundred men,
with their assistants; a million dollars capital, and
with a market home In each ward of the city, if you
please, Could supply the inhabitants with all the
meat and vegetables required, bow much greater

This is the solution of the whole meat problem.

ney in the business created a great competition for
the purchase of both meat and vegetables from the
producers, which enabled them to ask and obtain
their own prices for them. The consequence is, as

By general consent, business will be Suspended
until Wednesday next, the interim being devoted to
the celebration of the " Fourth.) , Many of the busi

by the early trains of Wednesday. To.day the ()ern
Exchange will be closed, and the Board of Brokers
Will transact no business;; as in New York, it has
been agreed to suspend operations for the day.
Meanwhile there are no 'changes to record In the
markets, all the stagnation which has settled
upon them pervades every branch of trade. The
money market Continues to work easy, and no dim
culty is experienced In obtaining loans at moderate
rates upon good names or nratalass collateral.
The fears of a speedy resumption of speedo pay.
meats, which were entertained by many a short
time since, have been dissipated, and resumption is
only expected some time in the dim future—at such
a distant period that no calculation need be made
upon it as affecting contracts of ordinary duration.
The business of making money by selling stook
in oil companies Is about played 011 t. Investmonto
in some of the oompaniell at their present low rates
will be profitable, provided the territory is well
located, and the management good ; but people
must not expect to find a good investment in oil
stooks by any shorter method than is need in almost
any other business. A capitalist who would invest
his money in an iron manufactory, which was to be
managed by some distinguished statesman, politi
cian, or ex-Congressman, who had never, perhaps,

Our people have now probably the Wit chant* of
obtaining these securities at par. The third series
of 7.30 notes is now being delivered with promptness.
It is not at all likely that the Government will ever
again oiler so desirable a Seenrity as these notes.
With the close of the war the national expenses are
vastly reduced, and investors must Moir for a sharp
reduction in the rate of interest as soon as the
present loans become due, and can be paid off.
There is no reason why the United States' Credit f or
money should ever again fall below Its credit for
courage. The same spirit that preserved the geo
graphical integrity Of the country will place its
pecuniary integrity On & par With that of the most
favored nations—and that will repiesent a rate of
interest under rather than over four per cent.

'treading to the beat information that den be ob
tained, the receipts of oil at Pittsburg, by the Alle
gheny river and the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
since the opening of navigation in March, says the
Pittsburg Commercial, have been 190,500 barrels.
Add to this what was received by refiners (Bred
from the wells and all receipts not otherwise noted.
The total receipts of every deseription, and from
every source, may be safely put at 240,000 barrel,-
At the present time 01l is accumulating in onside
rable quantities at the wells, The Allegheny river
is at so low a stage as to suspend navigation, exeept
by flatboats, keels, and barges. ' The outlet by rail
eastward, though taxed to the fullest extent, is in
sufficient to take off more than a small part of the
yield, a large quantity , of oil being tanked at the
wells.
The amount of coal furnished the United States
Government from Pittsburg tines November, 1564 1
was one million eight hundred and eightpseven
thousand three hundred and seventy bushels. Of
this amount, there was furnished at Mound City,
Illinois, one million six hundred and seventy.one
thctutand seven hundred and fifty bushels, and at
New Orleans, La., two hundred and fifteen thousand
six hundred and twenty bushels. The Government
has been 9 great consumer of coat during the past
three years, and owing to its immense demands, the
price of coal has been largely increased.
