AND VIRGINIA MONEY TAKEN AT PAR, at CIItRLES (lIPJIEB’S, Fresh Dry Goons. —At tho popular dry goods establishment of C. Hanson Dove, No. 74 Market street, a line assortment of fresh Bpring and summer goods has been received and is now open for inspection. It consists of rare shawls, splendid needle work, elegant dreassilks, capes, Kenlrews, Balmorals,hosiery, hoop skirts and dress goods of every descrip tion. Mr. Love is famed for taste in selecting his goods, and we advise an inspection of his stock before making spring purchases. Uls prices are low, and his goods cannot fail to please. John Smith has again resumed operations at his well in Brookville, Jefferson county, and feels quite certain of obtaining oil at n-. vory great depth. He is now down ltd feel; with what he calls fine indications. Wells are being bored in Kidgway and other parts of Klk county, and nut at all bo surprised if oil wore to bo found in these localities in. paying quantities. The Monongahela North Band 0,1 Compa ny began operations on the l'Jlb uit., on the Monongahela river, two and a half miles be low Monongahela City. A company has been formed in Webster, composed of some llfteen citizens of that vil lage, who have purchased property at Budd's Ferry, on the Voughiogheiiy, and wlil coni' mence to boro in about ten days. Bettor sur face indications are found here than any other place on tho river, and the oompany are very hopeful. The Brownsville Times says: "Several com panies have been searching lor oil on Dunkard creek, and one well is being sunk by an en gine. If there is oil in this region, we may soon expect to hear of a “strike." Kigden is still persevering in the difficult work of clean ing out an old sail well, on Dunlap's oreek, near this place. The well was some TOO feet deep, and they *ro now down about half way. We hope they may strike a rock that shall pour out rivors of oil " By the following: from yesterday s < 'nronieU, it would seem that the oil fever has reached the "mother couDtryl" "On Wednesday last, as we are informed, a company of English and Scotch mon leased seven acres of oil territory from Esquire Elrod, of Elizabeth township, in this county. They intend to make an imme diate ‘‘tost bore.” and if successful, to operate largely in the oil business, their plan ol ope rations contemplating even the erection of a large refinery somewhere on the Monongahela rim- This is an important enterprise, and H is to be hoped that tho gentlemen engaged in it will meet with tho largest measure of success.” Important Churuu Dkcisio*.—Tho union of tho Associate and Associate Reform bodies into the United Frisbyterian ebureb, has given riss to a legal action in Butler county —being a proceeding in equity by a minority of the members and trustees of Unity church of Ve. nango township, against the United Presbyte rian Congregation of U nity Church, to ob tain possession of the property of said church. The case was recently decided by Judge Ag new in on elaborate opinion, in which he re viewed the history of the church for three hundred years. U« decided that the properly, which in 1803, wa? sold to the Trustees of the Associate Church (known a* Beceders) belong ing to the original church, held it in trust for the Associate Church; and ii*t wto nl ted Presbyterian Church," though the” cave ecclesiastically the power to unite with the Seceder Church, yet they cannot hold the property which was purchased by the trustees of the Associate Church, and that the United Church cannot divest the title of the original trustees by any church union, unless all are agreed to the union.

They appear to have originated in a threat part from movements of United Status troops. It says there can be no doubt that Berious movements are on foot, and the tone of tbo Southern presses for the last week, and the concentration oftroops at Pensacola indicate a determination to procipitale a conflict at Ft Piokens. Probably with a view to hasten the secession movement in V irginia, on the other hand, it is a Significant fact that an unusual number of United States troops have been quietly gath ered at this point, ready for embarkation. Tbo number at tho Navy Yard and in the various forts and harbors are now nearly 2.Tub On board tho United Mutes fleet at Fort Pickens there are 800 troops, including marines, ail of whom can bo landed at any moment. At Fort Sumter matters are rapidly approaching a crisis. A vessel attempted to enter Charleston harbor bis boon fired upon and turned back, and put to sea again. The New York Tribune which is excessively warlike this morning, bas tipe following report ,f miliury movements at New Y ork : At ten o'clock last night out army and navy reporter returned from a visit to all the forts at this station. There is not the slightest doubt that to morrow, or Sunday, a largo force of army soldiers will leavo for some unknown destination. The garrison cf Fort Hamilton was paid off yusterdav, tho last move preparatory to march ing. Officers were arriving from Washing ton individually all day yesterday, and carpet bags In band "report.d themselves for duty. The village of Fort Hamilton was like a stormed citadel. Fort Lafayette, near Hamil ton, New Yolk harbor, has been garrisoned. A troop of sappers and miners arrived from the Federal Capital, on Wednesday night late, and were quartered at that fort, there being no mom io the opposite one. Detachments of picket men were engaged alt yesterday pre paring bay, oats, ambulances and stores for embarkation, and getting (.laces ready for the accommodation of two companies of artillery expected last night. Companies C. and h. ,of the Third infantry, have been under marching orders s*nee Tuesday. Thu morning thesoldiersordered from Gov ernor's 1 band will, it is imported, go up to Hamilton, and there go on board a steamer, probably the U. A steam frigate Powhatan, ■which uto com ry them to Florida. The fed eral forces in this nighborjiood now number 'J.tiJB men. Tho bustle and excitement con tinued yesterday at the navy yard and the army depots. Men wero kopt working rll Wednesday night and last night on board the gleam frigato Powbattsn.

Nkw Y'orr, March'd—Tho New York ‘Times of this morning contains despatches lrv.rn Washington of the highest importance, and taken in connection with the activity dis. played in military and naval departments of the government, as displayed at the Brooklyn navy yard, and various military stations in the harbor and elsewhere, indicate, tho Times says, with sufficient significance that a line of policy has been decided upon by the adminis tration which will speedily test the ability of the goyernment to enforce the laws. In less than a week, Us correspondent leiegraphs, it is probable that every fort of importance south of Charleston, through which inland commu nication can be had, will bo blockaded, and that the revenue laws will bo every whore en ticed if the navy is strong enough to do it. Not the least important statement in our cor respondent 1 * dispatch is that Ibe government is likely to bo sustained in its efforts to sustain us authority by the sympathy of the great Kurupean powers, whoso representatives have decidedly, though unofficially, expressed the hope t.'.itt'tbe integrity of tho Union shall be muinlainod. Th* greatest excitement exists in Washing- ton, ,n view of the supposed warlike action ot tho administration, but the general feeling seems to bn ono of satisfaction, that the presen. state of suspense will soon come to an end. The Tribune has a double leader on the pleas ant topic of War is at Hind. Richmond, April 1 —On the reassembling o! the Convention tho fourth resolution an amended was adopted in committee of the whole, Mr. Flournoy movod to amend the lifth resolution by striking out the words “and to aid in suppressing domestic insurrections,” thus making’the declaration simply that the legitimate use of the forts, etc., is to protect the country against a foreign force. This was agreed to, yeas 08, nays 61. Two other amend ments were rejected. Mr. Carlisle moved to amend by striking out the whole resolution, yeas H, nays 115. The resolution was then adopted.’ The sixth resolution was then taken up. Mr. Harvie moved to strike out the whole and insert tho following : “ Unsolved, That an Ordinance of Secession, resuming the pow ers delegated by Virginia, and providing for submitting the same to the qualified votors of the Commonwealth lor adoption or rejection at tho pollß at the Spring elections to be held in May should bo adopted by this Convention.” Mr. Hoggin moved to amend by inserting his own ordinance, but withdrew it. Several mo tions that the committee rise, were voted down, and Mr. Uarvie’s substitute was rejeoted, yeas 45 nays fh». Though this was not strictly a lest vote, the Union men are much rejoiced at the result. Without further action on the resolution the Convention adjourned. St Cor la, April s—Tho steamboatmen’s parade last night in honor of the election of baniel O Taylor, wbs the most brilliant and imposing over seen in St Louis. About thirty' vawls, mounted on wheels, and profusely deco rated with banners and transparencies, togeth er with a largp number of omnibuasos, car riages horsemen, and citiaens afoot, were ip procession. The streets were densely thronged by enthusiastic spectators, and the Kepubltean and Herald offices and a great many private dwellings were brilliantly illuminated, and the riisnlav of torches, pyrotechnics and bonfires very line.

Nkw Yokk, April 5 -The Commercied of this evening says that a committo of leading Virginia politicians, have had an interview with tho President and Secretary of State and were assured by them in the most positive language, that the President has contemplated no hostile movement, and would make no at tempt to collect the revenue in the seceding States for the simple resson that Gongress had withheld from him tbo power to do so. Tho government has chartered the steamers Baltic and Ariel to carry troops under sealed orders. The Baltic will carry Oapt. Barry s company of flying artillery and ninety mon, and the Ariel, seven or eight companies fantry and marines. They will sail on Sunday. The frigate Powhattan will go to sea to morrow morning, fully equipped and provis ioned, and will probably Uke three companies oftroops. Tbe stoamship Atlantic has.also been chartered and cleared for Brazos this af ternoon with provisions stores and other gov ernment property. A company of one hundred men on Gov ernors Island have received marching orders, and ethers will speedily follow. There are now over 2800 troops at the different military stations ot this point. Tbe express says it is supposed in well in. formed quarters that the government is send ing troops to land at some point in Texas, and that they are sent out at the reque.t of Gov. Houston to repel the Indians. The impression at the Navy liara is that Forts Sumter and Pickens will be both rein forced. Tbe revenue cutter Harriet Lane started for sea to-day, but was dotained,-and is lying in tho Bay in consequence of information giv en to Captain Faunoo, by the Collector of tbe post, which moy re>ult in the seizure of the vessels bound to the Coast of Africa.

Marshal Rynders yesterday seized a clipper bark on suspicion of being engaged in the slave trade, but as the evidence is insufficient,*she will probably be released. »Sne returned from a vnyag** t*' China s.x weeks ago. Tbe Font this evening eays it is rumored that the government agents who were sent to England and France havo returned, and re port that both governments will set their faces against the Southern Confederacy, and in no manner recognize or assist it, and that the President and bis Cabinet have determined to take immediate and vigorous measures for the enforcement of the law at all hazards. Ban Francisco, March -3d.—The Pony expnss passed at '-idU o’clock, A. M. Congratulations are universal upon tbe timely rain which alinuat insures another ex traordinary yield of ceriaU. The Senatorial election which wsh briefly telegraphed over the last Pony exprusa, was brought about under extraordinary circum stances. Ua the nigbCproceding the election, the Donglaa and Breckinridge Democrats fa* vorablo to reorganizing the Democratic party as formerly existing, agreed to bold another Senatorial caucus. All the Breckinridge, and a Urge minority of the Douglas members wer.e present. The prominent candidates before the caucus were Denver, Weller, and Nugent. The Breckinridgers preferred Weller, but could get no Douglasitea to support him. The next choice was Nugent, the Douglasites claiming that his election would attach Irish votes to reorganize the Democracy. On this theory Nugent was nominated over Denver and Wel ler. After thexiomination, Nugent was called upon and made an indiscrote speech, Btrongly sympathizing with tho seceded States. This speech arousod a vigorous opposition to the new candidate, some Douglas members of the causcuß declining to abide tho nomination. — The Republican members of the legislature who had previously declined to support any Douglas Democrat, now resolved to vote for any Union man to defeat Nugent. When the Joint Convention assembled on the 20th, ther first ballot showed 25 votes for Nugent, about HO for McDougall, 21 for the Republican can didate, and the balance scattering; tho sesond ballot was about the same. During the pro gress of tho third ballot, the Republicans and scattering votes commenced concentrating on McDougall, amid the Beene of the wildest ex« ctlement, which continued until the President announced from the Clerk’s tally the election of McDougall by 6li out of 111 votes, and de clared the Convention adjourned sine die. I On this showing McDougall received his certificate of election. A subsequent examin ation of the clerks record disclosed the fact that 113 votes were cast, two scattering votes not having been counted- It was admitted on all bands that this mistake had occurred, and that McDougall falls one short of a majority. The opinion Is divided whether the clerk’:) mistake oe oorrectefj so as t° invalidate the election. It is generally admitted that had the mistake been discovered before the Convention adjourned, another ballot would easily have elected McDougall. The Senate vesterday voted to consider no election as having taken place, and passed a resolution to go into a new joint Conventiop. It is sup posed that McDougall will resubmit his name, in which oaae It is apparent he will get such a majority as will make his election doubly Bure.
