S OPINION OP COP/TIME:ADS. .F - The Newark Advertiser gives the fol lowing report of the speech 'delivered by General Kilpatrick on taking the chair as temporary president .of the Union State Convention at Trenton : 'Gentlemen and fellow citizens of my Native State ; I truly, appreciate the great honor you have conferred on me, en hum ble soldier from New Jersy,in selealing me to preside over the only loyal con vention that will be called in the , State for the nomination of a candidate for. Governor. [Loud and continued ap. plause.] It is .scarcely necessary for me to say that this distinction is unexPacted and almost overwhelms me; and in ac cepting it I do ant intend to make - any extended remarks T.

Yet I dd desire to say . that I accepted an invitation to meet with you . here to day in, order that ther /May be no misunderstanding as to ho I intend to conduct mySelf in the fu are, and to show hoW I think a soldier should condutt him elf, novf the war is over, when patriotism demands hisi services' or influence. To show to Union men and copperheads how a sol dier respects the former and despises the 'latter; how ha condemns their traitorous sets, which have disgraced my native State for the, past four years. I am here, feeling that I am among men who never spoke a word of disloyalty, and who never faltered; and to represent men who have remained firm during the dark hours of the tlninn, and whip have prayed, fought and bled for our country; led by that great an 1 good man, Abraham Lincoln jim nense and long =tinned applause]. "You have assembled hero today, my friends, under no ordinary circumstances, and I trust with good promise of success in redeetriinn• the fame of our. State. I tell you, wherever I go—to New York, Philadelphia, Washington, while travel ing in the cars—everywhere I hear lan guage in reference to New Jersey which fills my soul with disgust and 'hatred to those whi have disgraced my native state; and how - it is possible for any of its citi zens to join hands with traitors is beyond my comprehension. Fellow . citizens, have deviated from the course of military men in taking the stand I have, but I have been more excited since I have been in New Jersey over what I have heard tail than I was during any of the scenes - _ through whictirEive thepaszteflurii3g war. Do you know that' l l ba!ve heard men here say it would have beau better to let the Sough go; that they believe in State rights; that thwartyred President was, a tyrant ! that hft successor, Andrew Johnson, is a Second Nero I There;are men in Sussex, with' mch zeal but Very little brains, rejoicb that they voted for John C.

JAY COO,IE.E. Mr. Jay Cooke,'an enterprising and successful Philadlphia banker,has always been one of the most efficient; negotiators of public securities . Four !. years ago, when. Pniansylvania State stocks were down to 85, he' workednd brought them up , to par, and at that rate ho 'obtained three million dollars for the State, for raising and equipping her troops.: When the Secretary of the Treasury gave veil olio bankers throughout the country com missions to negotiate his first loans, Mr-1 Cooke was always among the' Most suc cessful. He infused a portion of his own, great energy into hisf Sub-agenls, and, seemed to best nuclei's bud bow to pre- 1 sent the claims of the overnment to the people. When the 5.20 loan was author ized,it was before the pitilic many months 'without attracting any. l attention, and the total sales by the Government were only about eightecM millions. The 1 war ex penses were so vast /tlO4t banks and bank ersl 1 were no longer ablb to supply money in sufficient amounts, and the secretary of the Treasury was compelled to adopt some plan for appealing directly to! the people to supply thameans for sustaining the Government. Bopular !cans Ihad never been tried, and their nature I I was not generally. understood. Capital is al ways sensitive, and capitalists, large; and small, were not only ,to libil told that' tfhere was a 520 loan on the market but were to be convinced thatlit was the best as well as the most patriotic investment. : — Mr. Cooke's high character and previous successes induced the Secretary to anoint him mineral SubscriPtion Agent. ''lle press and the telegraph were iminediat i ely put in motion. /A large sum wee spent 4 .., 1 in advertising, tpe distribution- of ft great variaty of eirculers and hand blip, &c., 1 the employment! of of travelers, and in es. , tablishing,= sub-egeudies throughout the loyal States. It, has always been Mr. Coolie's policy to hasle our loans taken at home, and be has nev'e r rsolicited subscrip tions abroad, believing that our own pee-1 blo should hrve the advantage of thel interest. The result' of, Mr. Cooke's ef ] forts for the 5.20 s is well known. Under his agency, dating about Feb. Ist, 1863, and closing Jan. 22) 1864,_ the loan was sold up to: $514,78(0p0. 1 1 As great success always occasions jeal-1 ousy, complaints of favoritism towards 1 Mr. Cooke' were made against the Treas-I ury Department , which a special report to Congress proved to be withdut the slight est foundatioa. 1 , About this timo ;the Natioal Banking System was established, and it v;asla part of the plan:that the National Banks should be the financial agents of the G,overinnent. Whi/o publicly expressieg the wannest' gratitude to Mr.: Cooke for d his past great, and successful efforts, the Secretary of the Treasury determined to try thelexper latent of placing the 10- 1 40 loan through their agency. l In four months but eighty / millions were sold. Oa July 25th, 186 , 4 the First Series of 7-30 s was offered through the same channel, but up to Feb Ist, 1865, aTeriad of Ox months, the sale.s and paymints to the soldiers amounted tb, only abou one hundred and twenty will;.! ions.

Captain'slo.fficiol Statenteut—lhe Ship a Pei fete . Blaze of Fire while in Full Sail-42iten Women and Chil dren Roasteii Fight for a 1 1iaft—FearYul Panic.•_. • , By the British steamer Scotia, armed in New York from Liverpool, we are en abled to furnish-our rerders with the fol lowing condensed account of the burning of the steamehip William Nelson, drawn up by the Captain at the American Con , sulate at Havre. "The Williakti Nelson left Antwerp, Seine Ist, with a cargo of rails, wine,and various mercha'.udise,,about four hundred and forty-eight', emigrant Passengers, and a crew of thirty, including the Captain. The ship did. not, however, put to sea until the 4th. The voyage was without any remarkable ineiderit until the 20th of June, wWn they reached lat. 41.20, lung. 52.20 IV! Here, several emigrants who had bq.en ill for some days were suf fering from a violent fever; and, fearing that it might become contagious, the Captain gave orderslon the 26th to the first mate and 'carpenter to go below and ask the passengers on deck, so that the ship might be fumigated. Having all :ascended, the first mate and carpenter were a,gairi sent "below with several sail ors,.furnished with tar buckets andled hot irons. The operation was nearly completed about 12A. o'clock, when the' last tar barrel burst into a flame, and the' boiling tar Bowled over upon the deck of the centre of burning the .car-i pester and th sailor assisting him. Thel vessel immediately took fire. The mid-, dle deck was soon full of smoke, and the' , tar flowed under ,the bed of one of +lel emigrants, settin,,,c , it on fire. The flames) spread soon to all the other beds, render ing it impossible for the men to do any-; thing. Even before they could) reach the deck immense columns of flame shot : ' through the hatchway, and, reaching the, 'sheets of the mainsail, (all sail was set at; that moment) enveloped the nAintuast 'with the rapidity of lightning. Ere longi all the sails on the mainmast were on fire, as well as the 'rigging. The captain inaJ, ruediatery ordered part of the crew to gel the boats ready, and the rest to close the ventilaforand the hatchways. This was hardly done, when a , number of men,- consisting partly of sailors and partly of emigrants, firmed a chain fore and aft;_ in order to pass buckets of water, which were poured down . the main hatchway, whence issued a column of flame. The pumps were also set at work , . Hitherto discipline and good order had been main tained. The fire, however, made such !lipid progress that the captain ordered the lowering of the boats immediately. Now a goneal panic seized the unfortun ate passengers, all throwing themselves upon the boats, which from, their num bers it Was impoisible to prevent. The first boat was no sooner in the water than she was capsized by a number of emi grants who jumped into her. These were nearly all drowned. Four sailors, how-1 ever, succeeded in righting the boat and bringing her to the side of the vessel again, and then saved some of them. But while the boat was still alongside, more emigrants leaped into it, and capsized her again. She was onenmere righted, and as many as possible taken on board. Two other boats were loNvered with much trouble. The largest contained no less than thirty-five, with six of the crew, some of whom got into another boat, less heavily laden, leaving two to steer. The last beati with tne. same number of sail ors, and full of -emigrants, succeeded in getting clear of those who, endeavoring to jump in off the ship, fell into the wa ter and swam around it. I The captain, seeing that he could do nothing more, ordered tie rest •of the crew, about fif. teen men; to threw overboard everything that would float. All were lashed 'to gether so as to form a kind of raft. This was hardly done, when some of the poi sen,,ers still on board threw themselves upon it in large numbers, followed, by several of the sailors, filling the air with despairing. cries. At this time others rushed Madly from one end or the deck to the other. The tumult was such that it was itnposible far the captain to!make himself heard, though giving reiterated orders and seeking to stop the panic. At this time from one hundred and thiity to one hundred and fifty emigrants had suc ceeded iin getting upon spars alongside the ship, though' many were still strug gliug in the - water, when the topmasts, with their yards, Sc., all on fire,,snddenly gave. way, and fell right upon theie in the boat, killing many at once and throw ing the others into the sea. 'The cries of the rounded'atid drovrtritm-wero ble. Words are powerless to give an idea of the horrors of the scene. Th,e unfor tunate still on board the ship in their great terror surrounded the captain and the Baileys, clinginm to them and beseech ! ing them to save them. Some time after, the fire between docks gaining the Upper deck alad the masts ? . a fresh panic broke lout among them, and, seeing their, only °bonne of safety was to get upon the raft, the poor creatures fought among them selves to reach it. Many fell WO the water and were drowned; others succeed. ed in, reaching the raft, but the main mast fell upon them some minutes aft l er. ward and crushed a number to death. Then only, did the second mate. ' and a few fell the crew jump overboard. Being good swimmers they proceeded towards the beats, at some distance, and were fortunate enough to reach them, and still more so in being taken in by the owl'. pants. About two hours after the fire broke out a part of the deck, being en tirely undermined, J fell in s and a large 314,000,000 1760,000,000 i number 'of emigrants were precipitatediNumber held to personal service ' 19,053 Iheadlong into the burning- furnace b e .

Philadel phia Ledger, was the precise extent of tnlistments, and the number or the mili ary force we had in the field. Secretary Stanton bas just furnished a repot which lets a little light into the popular dark rids on this subject. Thera were enlisted for the army from November Ist, 1863 to November Ist, 1864, 402,608 white and colored troops. Colored volunteers' enlisted in rebel States from January Ist, 1864, to. October 14th, of the same year, 22,143. In the same period the recruits for the regular army were 13,871. Vet erans and re•enlisted before the expiration of their service, between November Ist, 1863, and November Ist, 1864, 136,507. Drafted and substitutes, 74,006. For 'the naval service and marine corps, from February to November, 1864, 24,68 3 ; making a total of 675,452. The report says : In estimating the number of troops called into service, it' 'hag been the care lof the Department to take into account 'the whole number ;of men mustered, without regard to the fact that the same persons may have been previously dis charged after having been accepted and credited on preceeding calls. A large part(near two hundred thou sand) of the men accepted in the years 1861 and 1862, were soon found to be unfit for service, and 'were- discharged. This accounts, partially, for the large excess carried forward from thee calls of 1862 and deducted from those of 1863. The colored troops enlisted up to Oc tober 30th, 1864, numbered 101,950. This branch of the service, up to that time, lost by battle, discharges, desertions, and diseases, 83,132 men. Up to Nor. 7th, 1864, Gen. Thomas had organized 'along the Mississippi river a force of 56,320 colored tr i ceps. The operations of the draft are very remarkable. Thp report is dated Nov. .25 , 01 7 Fr0m1864. ron2 July let, 1864, up to that tjme,l3o,ooo names were added to the enrolment list, and 285,398 names stricken off. This enrolment showed the national force, not called out up to November Ist, 1864, to consist of 2,784,- 266 men. In the draft of 1863 the quota drafted for, was 194,952, with fifty per cent. added. The report says: ,Of this number 39,417 failed to report, and 164,887 were exempted from physi cal and other causes;, 62,227 paid- com mutation,' 26,002 furnished substitutes, and 9, 848 were bald to service.

Towns are springing up is that favored locality, and every one seeking to invest his means in oil land or , leasef thereat; One day last week the United States Petroleum Company (sold fifteen leases at audio]; and the prices ranged from 84000 to 67,- 000 per lease. Just.-think of paying a bonus of this amount, beside giving to the company one half of -thie oil. • But large fortunes are being made there every hour, and the excitement is unabated No one, so a friend tells us, is allowed to own any of the property in jthat l locality longer than fifteen minutes,)so that spec- . ulation has become legitimate. Mining operations are busily caried on every where and we think the developments of the present season will prove the most favorable ever before . known. We, esti. mate the daily; productionat about 6,000 barrels. Of this it Hole produces fully 2,000 barrels ' per day, or one third.
