A Beautiful Picture.
Our fellow townsman W. C. Wall, Esq.,
has just completed a beautifulpicture of,
Pack Saddle Gap, situate on the line of
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad about
fifty-two miles from Pittsburgh, and just
above the Blairsville intersection. In
looking at the picture, the view extends up
the Conemaugh - river to a dam, placed just
where the river comes round from behind
a hill, the hills rising nearly from the
waters edge on either side. In the dis
tance a huge mountain rears its crest
heavenward; a few houses dot the right
hand bank of the river, a man in a skiff
is crossing the river in the foreground,
and a train of ears are to be seen in the
background. These are the principal fea
tures in the picture, but it is the excellence
of the workmanship to which we would call
most special attention. Mr. Wall spent
considerable time on the spot, sketching
the wild and beautiful scenery of this por
tion of the great central route, and his
success in giving a lifelike tone to the
coloring, and correctness to the general
outline will be acknowledged by all who
have ever visited this charming spot. Let
the observer notice with what life-like
faithfulness the artist has represented the
rocks and trees in the foreground, the
rippling of the water as it glides over
the stones, or is disturbed by the motion
of the boat, the water as it falls over the
dam, the ever-varying hues of the foliage,
and then see how as distance intervenes,
the tints blend, and become softened
down. " Look at the shade of the foremost
hills upon the mountain in the back
ground ; the shade of the hills that rise on
either side, in the water, and see how natu
rally ever tint and every shade is blended.
Bat a striking feature in the picture is the
effect the perspective gives to the monn
tam and the sky beyond. So admirably
are the colors adapted, that it appears as
though there were space between the
mountain and the sky. To gaze earnestly
at the painting for several momenta, one
would imagine that a living scene, instead
of an inanimate painting was spread out
before him, so life like is the entire repre
sentation. As the scene here portrayed
must be familiar to many of our readers,
we would invite their special attention to
it. It be seen for a few days in the
show window of Mr. J. J. Gillespie, on
WoDd street, near Diamond alley.
Nutters About Oil City .
From the Oil City Register of Saturday
we condense the following items of news:
A marked decline has taken place in
the price of oil. here since our last. Two
things have contributed materially to bring
this about, One being the low stage of
the river, preventing successful naviga
tion. The other being the discovery of the
big well, struck on Saturday last, upon the
Farrell Farm near the Sherman well.
When fist struck, it is said this well flow
ed over 2,000 barrels per day, on Tuesday
evening last, we found it flowing at the
rate of fully- fifteen hundred barrels per
day. The Caldwell well, but a few rods
distant from the new one, is tapped by it,
and the quantity reduced fully 300 barrels
per day. •
Oa the Pond Freshet of Friday, (yes
terday) afternoon, some 12,000 barrels,
it is estimated, started from the wells.
So great has been. the scarcity of labo
tees here, of late, that many of our ope
rators have almost had to discontinue ope
rations. Folly 500 working men could
find constant employment at good wages
here.
The river is not navigable for anything
but the smallest class of boats. Prime
new bairels in good demand at $2,75@
$3OO. to' Pittsburgh $1,30.
Weather cloudy, with occasional showers
of rain.
The following are the amounts received
and shipped from oar principal ware
houses.

Railroad Accident.
On Wednesday evening as a train of cars

tender, which cut and mashed it in tuteh
manner as to require amputation, about
three inches below the knee joint. Fie ill

cians entertain strong hopes of his recov.
ery. This is another warning to boys
who are constantly jumping on cars while
they are in motion. The wonder is that
there are not more accidents of this kind.

WASHiNGTON, June 3.—The tollowing
dispatch was received at the Navy De
partment this afternoon :
MISSISSIPPI SQUADRON, 1
FLAG SHIP BLACK Haws, May 23. J
SIR: On the evening of the 21st I re
ceived a communication from Gen. Grant
informing me that he intended to,attack
the whole of the rebel works at ten o'clock
A. At. on the next day, and asking me to
shell the batteries from 9:30 until 10:30 to
annoy the garrison. I kept six mortars
playing rapidly on the works and town all
night, and sent the Benton, Mound City,
and Carondolet up to shell the water bat
teries and other places where troops might
be resting during the night. At 7 o'clock
in the morning the Mound City proceeded I
across the river and made an attack on the
hill batteries opposite the canal. At 8
o'clock I joined her with the Benton, Tus•
cumbia and Carondolet. All these ves
sels opened on the hill batteries and finally
silenced them, though the main work in
the battery containing the heavy rifled:guns
was done by the Mound City, Lieut. Com•
mending Byron Wilson. 1 then pushed
the Benton, Mound City and Carondolet
up to the water batteries, leaving the Tus
cambia, which is still out of repair, to
keep the hill batteries from firing on our
vessels after they had passed by.
The three gunboats passed up slowly,
owing to the strong current, the Mound
City leading, the Benton following, and
the Carondolet astern. The water batte
ries
opened furiously, supported by a hill
battery on the starboard. The vessels ad
vanced to within four hundred and forty
yards, by our marks, and returned the fire
for two hours without cessation, the en-1
envy's fire being very accurate and inces- 1
sant. Finding that the bill batteries be
hind us were silenced, I ordered up the
Tuscumbia to within 800 yards of the bat
teries, but her turret was soon made un
tenable, not being able to stand the ene
my's shot, and I made her drop down.
I had been engaged with the forts an
hour longer than General Grant asked.—
The vessels had all received severe shots
under water which we could not stop ex•
cept while in motion, and not knowin g
what might have delayed the movement
of the army. F ordered the vessels to
drop out of fire which they did in a cool
and handsome manner. This was the
heaviest fire the gunboats have ever been
under, but owing to the water batte
ries being more on to level with them than
usual, the gun boats threw in their shell
eo fast that the aim of the enemy
was not very good. The enemy hit the
vessels a number of times, but the shot
did not do much damage, not a man was
hilted and only four wounded. I had only
enough ammunition for a few moments
longer, and set all hands to work to fill
up from our depot below. After dropping
back j found that the enemy had taken
possession again of one of the lower hill
batteries and was endeavoring to remount
his guns, and had mounted a 12 pounder
field piece to fire at General McArthnr's
troops which had landed a short time be
fore at Warrenton. I sent the Mound
City and Corondolet to drive him off,
which they did in a few moments. I beg
leave to enclose a letter from General
McArthur explaining why he did not use
his own expressmen to take advantage of
the results gained by the gunboats. I
have since learned from General Grant
that the army did assault at the right time
vigorously.
In the noise and smoke we could not see
or hear it. The gunboats were therefore.
still fighting when the assault had proved
unsuccessful. The army have terrible
work before them, and are fighting as well
as soldiers ever fought before, but the
works are stronger than any of us dreampt
of. General Grant and his soldiers are
confident that the brave and energetic
generals in the army will soon pperpole
all obstacles, and carry the works.

TIMES
The rebel Officers informed the bearer
of the deg that they had later advices to
the effect that Vicksburg was not taken.
The papers, it was said by those who
saw' them, contained no intelligence of
interest from any part of the South.
One of them, perhaps the Enquirer, de
precates the newspaper attacks upon Gen.
Pemberton, and says this course tends to
demoralize the troops, that frequent change
of commanders causes delay and produces
other distertrous (Erects, and refers
as a case in point to such a course upon
the part of the United States.
One of these papers apologizes to its pa
trona for not giving the votes of the sol
diers in Virginia in the late election, as it
would afford us an idea of t heir actual
strength.
An army order, iesned from lieadquer
ters Army of the Potomac recently says,
no horse should he left in possession of a
disloyal resident of any part of the country
occupied by the enemy, this species of
property being contraband of war,-and li
able to be used by guerrillas, spies or mes
eengers in the enemy's service.
The rebels on the southern aide of the
Rappahannock were yesterday morning

Cuicioo, June 3.—Shortly after 12

a writ directing the military authorities to

the application for a permanent written
injunction could be heard in open court
to-day.
At l o'clock this morning, after nearly
the whole edition had been worked off, a
file of soldiers broke into the (ace and
took possession of the establishment, and
remained for some time. They then left,
after giving notice that if any attempt was
made to publish another paper the mili
tary would take permanent possession of
the office.

At the argent request of Generals Grant
and Sherman I sent the Cincinnati to en
filade some rifle pits which barred the

Gen. Sherman supposed'that the tesetny

have placed more on the water side thar

The Cincinnati was sunk, and went down
in 'shoal water with her flag flying. The

vania. It says
" Virithont -.presuming in any way tO
meddle in the politics of a sister common
wealth, we may record the gratifying news
which reached us -fteim Pennsylvania,
that its Democracy seriously entertain the
idea of nominating ;kiiineral William B.
Franklin as their candidate for Governor.
With such a nomination, it is not rash to;
say that victor - 3 , is certain, and such a vic
tory will be attended with consequences
which no one can now pretend to meas
ure. General Franklin's name is assoeia
fed with all that is glorious in this war,
and cannot be defamed by the imputation
of any act of illegal violence or unneces•
he r
outrage. With no offense to others
may be described as McClellan's "right
hand man." He has,ehared danger with
McClellan, and he has shared obloquy and
injuatice with him too. Pennsylvania looks
on them both, and especially on Franklin #
with interest and pride as her lions and
her soldiers. The spontaneous feelng
which is now expressing itself among
the Democracy of Pennsylvania on this
subject reveals not only strong and gen
erous popular impulses, but the far-seeing
sagacity which in all times has character
ized the ancient national organization of
the Democracy, and which has secured to
it so many triumphs. At a moment when
they might so easily be discouraged by
the fear of military ascendency, or the
suspicions which in the present unsettled
state of things might be infused into the
popular mind, the Democracy of Pennsyl
vania look steadily and resolutely ahead,
measure the fluctuations of public senti
ment and opinion accurately, and provide
for the coming danger by selecting a' man
as their candidate who, should the evil day
arrive, will be strong enough, and brave
enough, and wise enough to meet it.—
Such a man the history of the last two
years proves General Franklin to be. In
the canvass he will unassailable. He can
have no enemies hut the enemies
of his country, the wretched crowd
of parasites • upon executive favor,
or the wild fanatics of the North—of
whom, by the by, there are reletiveiy few
in his own State. His friends will be ear
nest and enthusiastic. He can command
the unbonght suffrages of the hundreds
nod thousands of gallant men who have
come home from the war, and whom the
memory of hours of common trial will
cluster around him.
Should other dangers threaten, the free
men of Pennsylvania will feel—what for
two years they have not felt—that they ,
will be safe in their persons and property,
and that neither will Brigadier. General
Wadsworth be Buffered to capture editors
nor General Stuart to capture towns and
stampede horses with impunity. To us
in New York; the election of such a man
—to be associated in the defence of the
Coustitution with Seymour and Parker—
wip be a boon and a security beyond all
price. The whole free North will breathe
more freely on knowing that with such a
leader Pennsylvania has resumed her ad
vanced posts in the phalanx of Demo
cracy. We sincerely trust that General
Franklin may be nominated, and that he
will accept the nomination.
Tho Democratic Etate Central Com
mittee.
..41.e4Nr, May 28.
The Democratic State Central Commit
ee met here to-day. Thero was a full at
.endance. The resolutions re-adapt the
declaration of the last State convention in
regard to the support of the government
to suppress the rebellion. They declare
that while peace is desired by every pa
triot it must be on a basis of the restora
tion of the Union under the:Constitution;
that the present administration is not any
more capable of making such a peace than
it has shown itself to conduct a successful
war, and that any attempt to urge it to a
peace will only enable it, in conjunction
with the Davis government, to consum
mate a .eparation of the States, to which
the Democrats will never submit. The
resolutions then refer to the declarations
of the Loyal League Convention, which
they construe a placing the military ' above
the civil power, and accept the issue, pro
claiming the determination to stand by the
Constitution and against all such slavish
and despotic doctrines. They admit the
jurisdiction of military law within the lines
of warlike operations, but declare every
attempt beyond those limits to prostrate
civil power by military force treason to
the country and Constitution. .They en
dorse the sentiments Df the governorls let
ter to the A Illany meeting.
Vicksburg.
The New York Herald closes an editor
n as follows
u t its connection Admiral Porter's die •
spateb concerning the results of the gun
boat expedition which he had sent up to
Yazoo City furnishes some facts of very
great importance. The expedition had
done good service in the destruction of
the rebel navy yard at Yazoo City, three
steamboats and a monster rebel ram,
three hundred and ten feet long, and
plated with four inches of iron. It was
from the same navy yard that the powerful
iron-plated ram Arkansas. issued last
summer, and proved, under the Vicksburg
batteries, more than a match for a whole
fleet of our iron-clad gunboats. She was,
however, not long afterwards blown up
or driven to suicide by Commodore W. D.
Porter, of the India rubber and iron•clad
Essex, near Baton Rouge. The And ter
rible raid down the river by the Arkansas
suggests the value of the work accomplish
ed in the timely destruction of this new
and more formidable rebel monster at
Yazoo City. But this Yazoo expedition
has been chiefly important in securing a
navigable water line of protection to that
flank of General Grant's army, and a
channel whereby, if deemed nesssaary,
he May cut off the little detached army df
Joe Johnson while prosecuting the siege of
Vicksburg.
A Mobilo despatch of the 28th, to the
ii
Chattanooga Rebel, gives the important
information Viet General Hanks was
crossing his laint foreea over the Millais
eippi at flayou Sara, some ten miles or so
above Port- Hudson—a -movenisnt • which
was dotibtlem intended to place that
stronghold.between the army of General
Banks in the rear, and - the fleet of Ad
miral Farragut in front. Qqr latest re
orts of the erica: 's strength at Port
4ntison pat it at ten thousand men; but
we;dare say that General Banks will find
it.tunch less, in consequence of the forces
sent up from this point to strengthen
Vicksburg. Front all the lights before us
everything appears to have been, at our
latest dates, progressing steadily to coat-
Pete_success at Vicksburg and Port Hud
son. ,The only circumstance calculated
to excitelmistrust is the absence of any
news: from 'Vicksburg since Monday last ;
hot General Grant's steamers my have
been too busily engaged in removing his
wounded awl is wisouers, and in trane
porring his provisions to enable him to
spare one for several successive days to
run no to Memphis—between four and
five hundred miles—in the absence of any
decisive results.
