do.Geueral Lee, and do not respect them half t so
much,-but surely every loyal man must feel hor
rified at the abortive attempt of the rebels to de
the great city of New York, with as many
of its inhabitants as possible. When we take into
eonsidetation that scores of families inhabit a sin-
— gle house, and that each one of the many hotels is
—rcrowdid with. hundreds of strangers, to the height'
I.of five and six stories, one can imagine what must
have been the consequence of the success of the
diabolical scheme ; but, we do hope that Messrs.
G. & B. were thoroughly frightened. even unto a
trembling of the lower limbs. I was in a large
- mange - dory the other day, that employed a great
number of women ; and while looking around, the
foreman said, "Look here!" I looked, and there
under the work counter lay a sick little girl, some
-six years old, whiles the poor mother, near by,
earned her daily bread. It was a sad sight, and
caused sad thoughts. The mother must work,
and if her child gets sick she must work all the
Jaime, and must either leave it u ithout any care,
or bring it along. The little thing looked pale
and thin, but was more.emnfortable, most likely.
in the busy workshop, than she would have been
at home. I asked what the woman could earn,
and was - informed that she was elk of the best
workwomenin the shop, and could earn a dollar
a day. 0, ye, who waste money by the dollar,
and time by the day, remember that you will one
day have to give an account for both. It is hard
to . be poor, but thank God there will be an end to
poverty With life, when many a Lazarbs will fall
heir to a fortune.

add life, if not beauty to the scene; and of all

himself in his otercoat, whether of cloth or

The prospectus of the Burning Spring and Ru
ble Farm Oil Company will be .found an our ad
vertising columns. It is legitimately organized
for the prosecution of the oil business, and among
its officers and chief . manners is J,
ter Esq.,,of this place. Of all the WeSteni Vir
g:tan properties now being developed for Oil, this
seems to be the most , promising, and investments
are made it with great confidence by men who
have a practical knowledge of the Oil business
and the location of the company's land. It prom
se% well as a dividend paying corporation. Sub-,
seriptions will be received at various places:is
stated in the advertisement. The nominal capi
tal of this company has been made ::500,600, and
the cash price of the shares made two dollars.
The Imperial Oil Company mu, oresnized in
Philadelphia yesterday, and is in strung, awl cm
eigetie hands, and the stock will be taken sery
rapidly. More titan half of it was engaged

We believe that it will be made .me of the most
successful Oil operation. now on the market, Thii,
Company has the largest reserved ehrtal ut and
now organized. One-fourth of the entire capital
—52.50,000, is reserved fur development and the
interests of the stuck-holders.
The Sterling Oil Company elleied their book,:
yesterday—the stock having been 'sold. It will
doubtlese 'command an advance. The capital hue
been reduced to 200,000 shares. in order to eon_
form to the new act of Assembly of July last.
During the last ten days no less than eighteen
new Oil Companies have been organized in
Phil
adelphia with an aggregate oapital or $12,700,.
Ono; and what is must remarl.able ir, that, most
if not all the stock will be taken-110 anxious ore .
people to arrest in Oil. True, not one hi tvi_tg
the non producing : properties will eser payttitf;
thing, but men take the chances because if they
happen to bit it pays them immensely. Very
many of these companies are purely boOs—em
bracing lands which are not now producing and
not expected by the original owners to produce
anything ; but if the Stock can be sold, the par.
ties on the " first floor" make their handsome
profit, and Stockholders can take care of them
selves. -Many - of them are not even intended for
development, and the stock nomially set apart
as a working capital is never sold. The invest
ment of the Stoekholders is therefore literally
thrown away without even a show : for the pros
pective profits., The Sterling Oil Company has
a certain revenue, and u ill pay dividendson its
cash .capital from the start. and the Burning
Sprini ,and RubleTurra is being honestly devel
oped with every reasonable prospect of success;
but of the entire list of eighteen new companies

The actual cash capital is usually not more than
half the amount of the nominal capital.
Of the 215 organized Oil Companies now on
the market, but 41 have ever declared a dividend,
and probably not more than half the dividends so
declared Were honestly earned by revenues from
oil. The public can tot, therefore, be too cautious
about investments this dazzling but most doubt

largely and reliably as Oil stocks if investment
are judiciously made., but in no other branch of
trade , will so much 'Matey he lost by investing in

The Bank of Chambersburg is now doing busi
ness as the "National Rank of Chambersburg,"
and will soon be supplied with the new National
issues. It has three years, however, to retire its
old circulation, and the old notes will in the mean
time be as acceptable to our people as the new.

West Virgyrt, and is ?art of the valuable and well known
" BLTRNING SPRING TRACT
l'fesT—The undivided "h elf of ISO Acres in Fee Simple,
with a Bat boring surface of fill Acres on which Three Wells
have been bored, and two of them, at the depth of only
9.00 feet have yielded Oil; and the third, at a depth of
seventrfive feet sent out large quantities of gas, giving
the most flattering indications of a good Well. Great val
ue is placed upon this portion of the Company's property
from its Close proximity to the celebrated "Lewellyn" and
"Eternal Centre" Wells, the former of which flowed three
thousand barrels per day, being separated from them only
by a broken, ridge, known as the "Hog Beck Ridge;' and
quite receotly.two wells near by having been struck, each
predating fifty barrels per day. Also from the high prices
of Royalties, the Company expect to realize a large and
permanent income from leasing.'
Seco:VD—Also a lease, on Burning Spring Run, of one
and a half acres, with an unexpired term of fifteen lears,
and a rZiyally of one.third.-` On it there is also a well only
two hundred feet deep, frouswhich has been obtained fifty
to one hundred barrels be , an ordinary distiller's hand
pump, and has now In it not less than one hundred feet of
Oil, and flows spontaneously. This Lease ialocated near
ly opposite the above named-eelebrated„ Welts, and is also
inclose contiguity to the far famed "yeir" and "Cam
den" Wells. Its location is such also as to be protected
from interferences arising front sinking of Wells on adjoin
ing properties. The lease provides for a piece of 1F,,n1 of
oblong' shape, giving Thereby a larger boring frontayo on
the Burning Spring Run, and enough' for ten more wells.
The Company, feeteverressumnee that the Well upon
the Lease referred to, when Properly put in order, will
prove to be vets productive, and will yeildofieselfravntle
sufßeient to pay handsome dividends upon the stock.
The faciltie*Tor shipping Oil. on the Kanawha River,
which are geed. will be greatly . enlarged and improved
try the contemplated enterprise of nfaking a Sleek Water
Navigation.
There is at present an unexampled state of activity in
this region, and developments are going on rapidly upon
a most extensive scale, some twenty-fire-eases having
been recently chipped to this vicinity. •
The inducements tlud offer to those who are desirons of
securing an interest in this new immense source of wealth
whickbas startled the world, is one of the very highed:
Character, the locality being the very heart 'of the Oil re
gion, as the many gigantic Wells found on it attest suffi
ciently and satWactority.' •
This Company is organized entireiy and solely for the
purpose of engaging in the legitiraate business ofprodueing
Oil, and developing' the fee ample ,property belonging to
the Company, and the management of the ram*? having
been entrusted to gentlemen of known business enterprise

any name stricken off the list, if he can show, to the sada•

charged.
Especially civil officers, clergymen, and all prominent
citizens are invited to appear at all times before the Board
to point out errors in the lists, and to give such information
in their possession as may aid in the correction anti revision
thereof.
Theyshonld understand that it is plainly for the interest
of each stthrdistrict to have stricken from the lists all names
improperly enrolled, because an exceas_of names increases
the quota called for from such sub•distrietar, and that it is
equally for the interest of each person enrolled in a given
sub-district to place upon the lists all persons in the sub
district liable to do military duty, because the greater the
number to be drawn from the less the chance that any par
Bandar individual will be drawn. It is the personal lute- -
rest of every enrolled man that the quota in which be is
concerned shall not be made too large, and that his own.
chances for draft shall not be unjustly increased t both These
objects will be attained if all portico will aid in striking out
the wrong names and putting in the right ones. Especial.
ly is this the interest of those drafted men who by putting
In substitutes themselves liable to draft, have secured ex
emption, which, by the terms of the law, holds good only
until the present enrolment is exhausted in them sub dis
tricts. Men who are over 45 years of age, and in conse
quence excused by law from the performance of duty in
the field. owe it to the cause and the country to take a zeith
ens and active part is the correction of the enrolmentlists,
a military service of the first importance. The law re
quires that the quotas shall be assigned in Proportion to
the enrolment, and the fairness and justness of this mode
'of determining the amount of military service due from
each and every section of the country, cannot be doubted;
. if the enrolment is made - as nearly perfect as it is possible
to make it. The amount of service due to the nation from
every town or county, is thus laid fairly and plainly before
the citizens. audit is expected that a higher motive than a
selfish interest, will prompt all to do their share in perfect
ing the enrolment, and securing ajust and edicient execu
tion of the laws for raising troops, whenever it becomes
necessary to apply them. By order of

L The commander in Chief in announcing that kn.!'
Gen. Couch, has been, by the War Department, relayed.
from the command of the Department of the Susquehanna,
and ordered to service In the field, deems it just to express
the regret which he felt at the tertainination of the relations
which have existed, during more than eighteen months
between - that officer and the State authorities, and tointy
that the promptitude, earnestness, vigor and integrity with
which Gen. Coach, at all times fulfilled all his duties, Is
this department, have entitled him to the highest esteem
and regard. The citizens of Pennsylvania have learned
to know his merit. and will be gratified to hear of that
new distinction, which, in active. service, his skill, spirit
. and gallantry cannot fail to add to his already high repu
tation as a patriot and soldier.

of congratulation - that the command of the department de-.
