DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. —A young mall
named George Yeisley, employed at Heyberg
er's machine shop, Lancaster, had his hand
torn off by being caught in some machinery.
COLD weather is upon us. North winds
have been whistling around the corners, Bing
Frost has left the imprint of his icy ngers,
the mud has disappeared, leaving the streets
rough and hard on shoe leather.
CLOTHES STOLEN. --A family in the lower
end of the city left two or three tubsful of
clothes standing in a back yard, on Monday
night, intending to hang them up next
morning. During the night the whole lot
were stolen, and have not since been heard of.
That thief must be a mean one.

this morning was not as large as usual.
Prices were high, and the demand great. By
half-past six o'clock, it was almost impossible
to obtain a pound of butter. Prices were
high. The prospect of cold noses prevented
some of the farmers from coming to town.

How To REMOVE OLD PAmr.--Soft soap,
mixed with a solution of potash or caustic
soda, or pearlash and slaked lime, mixed with
sufficient water to form a paste, is an excellent
solvent for old putty and paint. Either of
these, laid on with an old brush or rag, and
left for some hours, will render the putty or
paint easily removed.
ENTITLED TO BOUNTY. —The Secretary of
War has just decided that colored recruits are
entitled to the seine bounty as white recruits,
viz: One hundred dollars for one year ; two
hundred dollars for two years, and three hun
dred dollars for three years. Representative
recruits are also entitled to this bounty, with
out regard to color.
COTSTERFEIT POSTAL CURRENCY.--It is esti
mated that 520,000 in counterfeit postal cur
rency changes hands in Cincinnati daily, few
knowing whether it is good or spurious. A
large amount of the stuff also passes here
every day, but nothing like the figure here
given. The counterfeited issues should be

INTERESTING TO STEEL 1. 1 / I NUFACTIMERS, --
An invention has been patented in England
which proposes to dispense with the ordinary
mechanical compression of steel and homo
geneous metal by the action of steam, ham
mers or apparatus of that class and to give
the metal the requisite closeness and strength
by testing it in a form approximating to that
in which it is intended to be used, and by im
mersing it without any previous forging in
a bath of suitable liquid, such as oil or water,
and giving it aftertard, where requisite, the
temper necessary to enable it to be worked.
The metal being made by this process is so
!mach harder and stronger it will be desirable
in some cases to rough•turn, bore or shape
the casting preparatory to the hardening and

blessings, it is the people of the United States;
and if ever there was a period when we had
especial cause for thanksgiving and praise,
now is the time. Oar haiwats have been
abundant, every department of business is
prosperous, our arms have been uniformly
victorious over treason in the field, and the
national life has been saved by the defeat of
the machinations of traitors at home, and the

The day will be properly observed in this

AGI ND Pow-wow AMONG THE FAITHFUL.
illeetmg of an Extraordinary Committee to
Devise Ways and _Means for Sustaining a
Party Organ. —An allusion was made in our
editorial columns yesterday, to the effect that
the greater portion of the tory organs in the
country were in a decaying condition, and
that some of these thus rotting away with their
own corruption, were anxious to provoke a
collision with the authorities, and thus gain
an excuse for "closing out" their business.—
When we made this statement of what is a
manifest fact, we indulged the hope that the
Government would not allow itself to be
tempted by the rascals who control these or
gans, as public opinion would do the work of
counteracting the evil influence of such sheets,
by utterly crushing their power for mischief in
refusing them either patronage or recognition.
When we made these statements as to the con
dition of the tory organs, we had no idea
that the unmistakable evidence of the fact
would so soon be placed in our hands. But
our paragraph yesterday induced a correspond
ent to communicate the proceedings of a
meeting held at Brady's Hotel, in this city,
at which the main subject of consultation
related to the necessity of devising ways
and means ,to support the Tory Organ
in this city. It appears that "invitations"
were "sent out" to all the faithful, to meet at
Brady's, and that one of these "invitations"
was issued to a leaky individual, who "let
the cat out of the bag." The meeting was
composed of all the great leaders of the party,
prominent among whom were His Worship
the Mayor; Mosey, the money-changer; the
erudite Ham. Alricks, the "painful" Trace,
the man of sawdust, Bigler, two or three
Jews, a half dozen ex-mud bosses, with their
old patron, the ex-Governor, arid such of the
loungers as usually frequent a well kept, re
spectable and orderly hotel, of the class to
which "Brady's" belongs. His Worship an
nounced the solemn tact that "our organ"
was "nearly Played out." It had piped its
last tune of treason, and would have cett.led
its discordant notes months ago, had it not
been for the fact that its principal proprietor
(unknown to the public at large) had managed
to support it with funds contributed by New
York Jews, under the lead of Belmont. This
fund had now been exhausted, and therefore,
unless the ways and means were promptly
devised, "the great Democratic party
of the Keystone State would be without a
a central organ." With this announcement,
solemnly and impressively made,His Worship,
with all the dignity of a Romata,conscript
father, took his seat. Then followed an awful
silence. Mosey stroked his bearded chin like
the fat boy at the butchering—Sam Bigler in
flated his cheeks and protruded his tongue
as he wofully asked, "why was I invited to
this meeting? I ain't in politics"—another
considered the affair "d—n painful," while
the mud bosses swore like the old King in
the play, at the presumption of some people.
Our correspondent has written us a lengthy
description of this meeting, but we must
content ourselves with this general quotation
from his communication. Like all efforts,
politically, of the men who thus assembled,
it was a failure. All were profuse in their
promises of what they would have done, had
the party been successful. But under present
circumstances, the organ must become a self
sustaining machine. The party must sup
port it. It was impossible for individuals to
do so. And thus after taking a drink all to
gether, denouncing the administration, damn
ing the abolitionists, and expressing its sin
cere sorrow for the affliction of old friends,
the traitors of the South, the conclave ad
journed.

THE PRESIDENT PETROLEUM COMPANY.—The
PreSident of the above named company, Emory
Edwards, Esq., writes, under date of Novem
ber 20, 1864, as follows:
"Having just returned from a tour through
the oil region in Venango county, Pa., and
having particularly examined the tract of oil
bearing lands owned by the President Petro
leum Company, I am enabled to give you some
further information as to their character, and
extent.
"The company own two and one-half miles
front on the Allegheny river, and several miles
on tributary streams, which is all underlaid
with oil-bearing rock. One hundred yards
from the west end of the tract is the Hydriek
well, which has already yielded . over thirty
thousand barrels of oil. Messrs. Hydrick
have leased from this company five hundred
feet front on the river, adjoining their land,
at a rent of one-third the gross yield of oil,
and have begun three wells, two of which have
reached the oil rock and struck oil fissures.
Pumps will soon be at work in these with
every appearance of a good yield. The third
well is as yet only two hundred feet deep.
"One mile east of this the company's well of
four hundred feet has reached oil which comes
up on the boring gear freely, and the well is
pronounced a success. One mile east of
this is the Harper farm of one hundred
acres, which" does not belong to the company.
On it are several wells which have been worked
with great profit, and the farm was lately sold
for $200,000. Passing this farm the company
have a further front on the river of nearly half
a mile, all of it meadow land, and three
islands, which are very valuable.
"Between Hydrick's well and Harper's there
is space for one hundred wells on the river,
allowing one hundred feet between the wells,
while on Oil creek the wells average four to
the hundred feet. Just across the river from
this front is one well yielding four hundred dol
lars per day, and several from one to two hun
dred ; and above the company's lands, and
extending up the river for several miles, are
many productive wells.
"The meadows on Hemlock and Porcupine
creeks, and on Reece's and M.'Rea's runs, are
similar to those on Oil creek and Cherry run,
and they have been developed sufficiently to
warrant that they are underlaid by oil-bear
ing rock, and numerous salt springs, and gas
escaping in many places, indicates the usual
accompaniment of oil.
"The $lOO,OOO which is reserved as a working
capital, is amply sufficient to sink thirty wells,
which are to be commenced immediately, and
for which the proper machinery has been or
dered. There is every reason to 'believe that
these will yield as much as neighboring wells
now do; and if so, they will pay a large divi
dend on the par value of the stock. Besides
this, parties are ready to take the usual leases
of one-third to one-half the . product as rent,
the company being at no expense, and the
lands are ample to allow this on a large scale."
J. W. Simonton, Esq., is the agent at Har
risburg to receive subscriptions for stock in
the above named company, and will answer
all inquiries addressed to him in person or by
mail.
