Shutting Up the Provost
Marshal's Offices.
One by ouo the Provost Marshal's of
fices are being shut up. Soon these do
testel institutions will be numbered
among tho horrors which have passed
away.
The shoulder-straps Will bo
stripped from officials who have worn
them lur years without Having iacou an
enemy in buttle; aud a multitude of
clerks aul attaches, numbering, it is
said, not less than 73,000 in tho loyal
States alone, will bo turned away from
the public crib and compelled to seek
an honest livelihood, or to starve. Poor
wretches, what a come down it will bo
for many of them! They have strutted
a brief hour, bloated with self-conceit,
full of self imporUnco, and often insolent
and ov-er bearing in their manners. How
will they ever manage to get down to or
dinary life atrain ? Down they uiust
como tlieiuh- Tho days of detested
co'.isorintion aro at leuprth over. Poor
men need tremble no longer for lear they
will lo draggea oy iorco irom iiietr
homes ; wives will rejoice to know that
their husbands are at last "out of the
draft," and children no louger dread tho
turning of tho "fated wheel.'' Wo
hope this country may never see a Pro.
vost Marshal's office opened in it again.
In any ordinary war conscription never
need be resorted to among our people.
Those of tho North and tlie South will
be alike ready to defend tho interests
aud honor of tho natio.i.
Many have been tlio strange seone3
witnessed about tho Provost Marshal's
offi.'cs. There hu been brutt.lity and
harshness about mo.it of them, corrup.
t:on and fiaul about nt a tew of them.
They have been marts in which men
huveopjuly traffieed iu the lives of hu
i ni-iii beings. Yi'e have seen a drunken
beast of a fulser, w'.n had ulrexly sold
one sdu as a subs'iia'a to satisfy tho
Ci-av'iiig for s'.rotig dritik, ready to per
jtiro biii)-:elf i:i regard to the age of
another, an uagr.iwa boy, whom be had
bribed to leave Ixhua, in spite of tho
tears nnd proteotatiou of a heart broken
mother. Tho iniscrablo wretch was
very eager ti cli'ect a sale. The fact
that the son ha had sol 1 before ho had
die 1 of disease contrasted in camp could
move him, tho tears ot' his wretched
wife could uit intl uu 30 h'ua. Tha

PruVo.it Marshals' otfi-vs ol this Stato
and elsewhere, have witnessed more dis

We are heartily glad they are to be shut

Oil- 0 THE CLiaiO.V.
We are informed by good authority,
that oil is found in the well being suuk
on tho Elk & McKcan Laud Co's prop
erty, about fourteen miles above tins :
place, oil the East fork of Clarion.
The sand pump brings up a pint of oil,
when sunk.
Mr. Newbold, at Spring creek twelve
miles below this placo, tojjnd oil mi
mUltili'ibty, but in small quantities at a
depth of 510 tset and is very sanguine
of a good well at any day.
Judge Dickinson, in town, is prosccu
tiug his well with vigir, and findi gool
indications at 4'JO feet. Practical oil
men atrougly predict a good well for
him.
We iw line to believe that oil will be
found in good luautiiits about Uj and
for the benefit of the country, bopo it j
may provo to te tho case.
Ve have just been iuformod that, tho
well in St. Mary's, (some sixteen miles
distant from this place) nnd on much
higher ground than here have good in
dications of oil. Why should c din

A 60 Barrel Flowing Oil

It is with great pleasure wo record
tho gratifying intelligence that the Po

of a superior quality, at the rate of about
CO barrels per day. In company with
sotuo friends, we started to Doer Crock,
after dinucr, on Wednesday, not dream,

way wo met several persons who inform,
ed us that the Pocahontas well ww

we tound tho information correct. The
engine was standing still, but the ga
was roaring in the tubing and flowing

to a 75 barrel well. Wo only stayed
about half an hour, and from measuring
the oil in the tank, aud timing the stream
our opinion is that it was then yielding
at the rato of fully GO barrels per
day.
This well belongs to the Pocahontas
Oil Company which is ono of ten oon.

on Wednesday, and pumping commenced
at 10 o'clock, A. M. It immediately
began to yield oil, and at 12 o'clock,
when it had only pumpod two hours, it
