MARCH 17. 1865 t- ' aeSeasn at. B. NO. 66. DAILY LEADER FKIDAT, BAXIB 17, IMS. The Suspension of Treasury [...] Permits. The order from Oenera.1 Crrant luipend' ing nil Tresaury traopermiU in certain portions of virginu, the Carolinis, and Georgia, an abstract of which u given in this morning's telegraph, is another step in the direction indicated in Secretary Seward's circular issued on "Wednesday. It means that the most prompt and deci sire meat ares are to be taken to pnt a stop to the immenfe contraband trade now going on between the South and certain aarties in the North. Now that every port in the whole "Confederacy" is either fully blockaded or in our hands, the urgent ne cessity of supplies essential to the rery life of the rebellion has greatly stimulated a contraband trade with the North, which had already been carried on briskly. In this way Northern men have been giving aid and comfort to the rebellion more ef fctually than if they were fighting in the ranks of Lee's army lor they furnish it with mater.als without which it must Tall. These double traitors deserve hanging much more than the veriest fire-eater in the South. The re cent expose of the Sirgleton tobacco busi ness, which illustrates perfectly the charac ter of these transactions, called the atten tion of the Government to the matter. and, not content with squelching that affair. they have taken decisive steps to eradicate the whole system. General Grant is per- fectly justifiable in issuing bis order, or in taking any other necessary step to crush out these nefarious transaction. The Situation. Plenty of news this morning, and all of of the very best. Kinston has been form ally surrendered to our forces by the Hay or, and occupied by Schofleld i advance Our troops are in the highest spirits, and eager to meet the enemy. Seven hundred rebel dead and wounded were left upon the field at Southwest Creek. That Sherman reached Fajetteville in safety, after a leisurely and unopposed march through South Carolina, in which lived almost entirely off the reoel terri tory, is.indubitable, but about the other ru mors from that gallant General we are in doubt. One of these assarts that he has already reached Golds boro, and has attack it in the rear, driving back tbe rebels who were retreating on that place toward Kinston again. This rumor, and the oth about his movements which come this morning, are probably premature. He has probably moved from Fayetteville as yet, though he doubtless will soon do so. The Fall of Charleston in Europe. Unquestionably, the fall of Charleston would have a much greater effect in Eng land than in this country. The import ance of tbe city itself, the fact that it was starting point of secession and the war. the period of time for which it has been besieged, have been noted by English observers and have had their full weight in English estimate of the advantage and prestige gained by its capture. So we that the English press agree in re garding it as the most significant event of war, and in deducing from it prophecies the speedy downfall of the rebellion. Even the Timet, never friendly to the North, says that the influence of the cap. of Charleston "cannot be exaggera ted." The news has had its effect on the markets, and will not fail to produce a change both in the popular feeling and In attitude of the English government. trans-atlantic cousins are ever ready worship the rising run. J Draft Matters in New York State. The New Yorkers, both Provost Marsh and people, are ina (ai mudd over the draft. Governor Fenton got the impres sion, a day or two since, from some of Gen oral Fry's orders, that the draft in New Tork State would be postponed indefinite ly if recruiting continued brick, and issued circular to that effect, which has just had time to appear in all the daily papers f state. But, nevertheless, drafting commenced in New York city and various other parts of the state, on Wednesday last, to the great bewilderment oftfaepe. And yesterday General Fry tele graphed to Governor Fenton that his an nouncement was mistake and that the draft would not be postponed. So the wheel revolvoa in New York. The Spring Floods. The spring thaws have brought on a general inundation. The lower and busi ness half of the city of Albany is under water, fear of a railroad blockade at Buf falo, on account of high water, is expressed, while, at Meadville, French Creek has got the rampage and has submerged half town and stopped all travel over the Atlantic and Great Western Biilroad east ward, i The spring rains are almost as good as Sheridan at destroying communications. and threaten to cut us off bom New York, a day or two at least, as thoroughly as Lee is cut off from the outh. -- Our readera will find in onr telegraphic column this morning a special dispatch giving a graphic description of the inun dation at Meadville. The Richmond papers were all suspended last accounts, except the Dispatch, which comes, out in a half sheet, and explains that it is crippled by a sudden ,call from the Government upon its employees for special service. The abolition of newspa pers is an excellent thing for the rebels. In the present condition of things the less news they hear the better they will feel. The rebels only told half the truth about Wade Hampton's battle. It seems, from this morning's telegraph, that that officer did succeed in surprising Kilpatrick and capturing several of his staff. But KjlJ patrick rallied his forces, and recaptured his men, administering a second thrashing on Hampton to repay him for the tur pires. The Latest News BY TELEGRAPH. Last Night's Report.

The water is higher than it has been for ten years. All the lower part of the city is submerged, and many families have been and are being removed in boats from their houses. All trains east from this point are aban doned nntil the water abates. A part of the Franklin track is under water. The KcHenry House is surrounded, and the cellars are lull to within two feet of the ground floor. It is hoped that the water has reached its highest. A great deal of property will be destroyed The weather is growing colder, and for tunately the rain has turned to snow. There is as yet no current to the body of water, except in the creek. FROM COLUMBUS. COLUMBUS, March 16. Tbe State board of agriculture has just adopted a resolution requesting the passage of an act to provide fur the sale of the Ag ricultural College land scrip at not less than eighty cents per acre, and for the appoint ment of a committee to receive propositions for acquiring an experimental farm with view to the establishment of an Agricul tural College. Said committee are to re port to the next Legislature. The resolu tion also protests againBt any division of funds arising from said grant. The House passed the following Ilouse bills: To restrain Councils, in cities of the first class from making gas contracts prejudi cial' to the interests of the citizens. To increase the compensation of jurors to two dollars per day. To provide for the assessment of shares in national banks. The Senate bill, . to require trustees ap pointed by will to give bond. Mr. Allison introduced a bill to provide for the appointment of inspectors of cereal grains and Indian corn in first and second class cities. J.

The following was sent to Governor Fenton on learning from him that he had issued a circular about delaying the draft: Pbovost Marshal Gekiral's Bttrkau, WAsmsaroH, March 16, 1865. To Sis Excellency, Gov. R. E. Fenton : Your telegram of yesterday is just re ceived. I have not seen your circular about the draft, and do not understand your dispatch. No delay, that 1 know of, has been authorized, aor is it likely that any wdl be permitted on any otner condi tions than those heretofore stated, and re peated, to wit: that if the boards are lully occupied in tne examination oi roiir, toe delay should continue only so long as they are fully occupied in tnat way. Signed ... JAMES B. FAY Provost Marshal General. FROM NEW YORK. NEW YORK, March 16. The Boston Advertiser's special says of General Grant s order suspending all trade permits : This order, it will be seen, strikes down at one swoop the whole brood of cotton, tobacco, tar, and turpentine specu lators, setting aside alike the permits of special agents, cabinet ministers, and even of the President himself. Official records show that it will effect jobs covering over half a million bales of cotton, 16,000 barrels turpentine, 6,000 barrels tar, 2,000 barrels - lflAflAAIwMArinlUMA FROM TRENTON, N. J.

I OFFICIAL BULLETIN. Was Dxpartmist, 1 WASHtKOTOK, March 18. To Msj. Gen. Dix: The following despatch has been received this evening at this Department: Citt Poikt, March 16. I am just in receipt of a letter from General Sherman, dated March 12th, from Fayetteville. He describes his army as in fine health and spirits; Met with no serious opposition. Hardte keeps in his front at a respectful distance. At Columbia he destroyed the immense arsenals of the rebels, and rail road establishments, and also captured 43 cannon. At Chora w he found much ma chinery and war material, including 25 cannon, and 3,600 barrels of gunpowder. In Fayetteville he found 20 pieces of ar tillery, and much other material. He says nothing about Eil Patrick's defeat by Hampton, but the officer who brought the letter says that before daylight on the 10th, Hampton got two brigades in the rear of JMlpatrick s headquarters, ana surpnsea anu captured all his stafl; but two officers.

Information from the Army of the Po tomac says the Fifth Corps was reviewed on Tuesday by General Warren. This corps is one of the largest in the army, and m regard to discipline stands second to none. The utmost diligence is exercised by the commanding officers in preparing for the spring campaign. .rassengers direct trom tjity i'oint say that there was hot even a rumor at that place of peace commissioners from Rich mond, as was industriously circulated else where yesterday. The Vance who arrived there was Brig adier General Vance, a brother of Gover nor Vance, of North Carolina, to be ex changed, and not Governor Vance him self as peace commissioner, with two imag inary colleagues. Ueneral ijonestreet has placed restric tions on the exchange of newspapers, per mitting only date for date ; but some of the rebel editors say they will endeavor to have the order modified. Many of the sick of our army have been removed to City Point. ADDITIONAL FROM SHERMAN. NEW YORK, March 15. The army is in most excellent health and condition. They have lived quite as sumpt uously as on the Georgia march. At first one-quarter rations of meat and other pro visions were served, but the abundance found in the country soon rendered this unnecessary, and now only coffee and sugar ate idsued ; everything else is furnished by foraging parties. .(Jommunioation was sent to bherman on tbe lltb, by a courier, escorted by a regi ment ox cavalry, inis was rendered neces sary by the strong parties of rebel scouts and guerrillas on the approaches to Wil mington.. Uherman s couriers narrowly es- capea, and were driven to make a detour of forty miles. They represent the people dwelling along the route as strongly favor ing tne union, and anxious for the appear ance of the National army. FROM PHILADELPHIA. PHILADELPHIA, March 16. A special dispatch from Washington to the Bulletin says : General Grant has just issued a highly important order rela tive to the trade in rebel States, with a view to put an end to the illegal traffic lately attempted. He says that all opera tions on treasury trade permits, by whom soever granted, within the State of Vir ginia, except the portion known as tho Eastern chore, and within tne states oi North Carolina and South Carolina, and that portion of the State of Georgia bor dering on the A tan tic, including the city of Savannah, are suspended until further orders. Ihedeliveryof all goods contract ed for, and not delivered before the publi cation of this order, is prohibited. The military are instructed to seize all goods obtained by any such trade permit, license, or agreement. In conclusion the order says: Supplies of all kinds are prohibited trom passing into any of the said otatei, except such as are absolutely necessary tor the wants of those living within the lines of actual military occupation, and under no circumstances will military command ers allow them to pass beyond the linos they actually hold. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. FORTRESS MONROE, March 15. Tbe steamer Rebecca Clyde, with 350 rebel prisoners, captured near Kinston, N. C, during tbe late battles, arrived here this evening from Newborn. The latest advices trom lien, ccnoneld represented him as still advancing toward Kinston; and mere were rumors in .new born when the Rebecca Clyde sailed to the effect that Brsgg had evacuated the town, and that our forces had taken posses sion. The prisoners who came up on the Re becca Clyde, were a fine-looking set of men, and belonged to Ala. lien. Hoke 6 Division, having been aent from Lee's army only a week since with the view ot opera ting against our foroes in North Carolina. All "the available pontoon trains at New born had been sent to General Schofleld, and even if General Bragg had not evacu ated Kimton, no doubt was entertained but that our forces could eisily cross the Neuse river and give battle before he could get away. Major General Couch's forces, from Wilmington, had reached General Schoneld, and nis army, tnus ireiniorceo, was deemed amply sufficient to defeat Bragg's army, which was judged to be about 26,000 strong.- BREAKING UP. BUFFALO, N. Y., March 16. In consequence of the thaw, trouble is expected on the railroads run ning lrom this city, on account of nigh INUNDATION. ALBANY, N. Y., March 16. The ice above and in front of the city moved down this morning, a mile or two, and blocked up, causing the water to rise rapidly, so that the docks and piers are now submerged to the depth of several ieet.

It believes the South now virtually shut np from the World. The Morning Post says Sherman's move ments have placed him in the foremost rank of military generals. The Daily Sew says: There is some prospect of shipments of gold being made to new i ors, owing to tne natneas oi ex cnange. Ex-Senator Foote has issued an address at London to the Tennesseans; explaining his disconnection with the rebel govern ment, which government he repudiates and LATEST BY THE AFRICA. The news, per the Australian, of the fall ot Lharlestcn caused much sensation. Its immediate effect was the advance of 2 per sent, in u uiieu otatei ojnus ana a uecune of 4 per cent in the Confederate loan. Tbe London Times says : The influence of the success at Charleston can hardly be exaggerated. The-aralenecta cannot but be most powerful on the conduct of tbe war. It li seen that the population of the Southeastern States is not able to oppose t.e march ot tbe r ederal armies; Ihe ad vance from Savannah to Charleston seems have been as easy as the march from At lanta to eavannan. The Slur regards the fall of Charleston as premouitory of the utter overthrow of the rebellion. The Army and Navy Gatetle says the evacuation of Charleston and Columbia, and the concentration of garrisons will strengthen the hands of Beauregard, Har dee and Hill, but the Conlederates are placed in a position of exceeding danger, from which it will require greater genius than over Lee and Davis have yet exhib ited to extricate them. The purpose of Grant becomes more obvious as the cam paign proceeds. He holds Lee fast, and thus paralyzes the strongest arm and neu tral ia the greatest force of the Confed erates. The news was published too late on the 3d for the Liverpool and Manchester mar kets, but the first effect was one of depres sion and cotton declined. The Daily News' city article says there is some prospect of gold shipments being made to New xork owing to the natness ol exchange. Were these to commence they would probably mark the turning point m the English money market. Tbe rebel ram btonewail continues at Ferrol watched by Federal vessels. The truth of the report that she was leak ing is not confirmed, as she continues to take on board alargt quantity of coal. in the ilouse ol Uommons on the 3d, Mr. Shaw de Fevre asked whether the at tention of the government had been direct ed to certain minuteaof instructions alleged to have been usucd by the Confederate Government with reference to the seizure of and disposal by Confederate cruisers of neutral vessels without adjudication by a prize court, whether such instructions met the approval of tbe government; if not, what measures would Da tagen to prevent their being carried out. Jilr. Layard replied tnat tne attention ot the govirnrteat had been given to the in structions in question, and they were en tirely disapproved. It would not, howev er, be consistent with the interests of the public service to state what steps had been a TURKEY. The difficulty between Turkey and Per sia was growing more serious. A diplo matic rupture was expected. In a hre at Constantinople a eon vent and a large number of houses were destroyed, and 100 lives were lost. BRAZIL.

Jay Cooke reports the subscriptions to the 7-30 Loan to-day, at $1,032,500, includ ing 500,000rrom New York, and $202,250 from Chicago. Also 282 individual sub scriptions of 600 and 100. The secretary of the Treasury arranged yesterday in Washington, with Jay Cooke, that most important financial measure, the issue of the $600,000,000 loan. The first issue will be of $300,000,000 on the 16th day of June nex Tne rates in form, denominations and interest will be in all respects like the present issue of 7-30j. They will be unlike them only in the period of time 11 zed for their converta bility. They will have ten months longer to run than the 7 30s before they can be changed into gold bearing 6-20s. By a large ciass ot investors tnis auierenoe will be considored to impart greater value to the new issue. The balance of the $600,- 000,000 will probably be a year longer ia maturing than the June issue. This time will be definitely fixed as the sales of the June issue approach their end. It may be that tne nrst tnree nun area millions will meet the necessities ot the govern ment. It is expected that this first issue will be disposed of in about three months. The agency for tbe present seven-thirties, with all its machinery will be employed for the whole of the new loan. FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

FROM NEW YORK. NEW YORK, March 16. The Times' Washington special says: The statement that Senator Harlan bad not yet decided to accept tbe Interior De partment was premature. The President had his assent before he sent his name to the Senate. The Commercials special says: The opinion prevails in well informed financial circles that the Assistant Treasurer of New York has been authorized by Secretary McCullogh to anticipate the payment of May coupons of 5-20's at his discretion, whenever, in his opinion, the state of the money market warrants the step. GOLD MARKET. NEW YORK, March 16. The panic in the gold market has settled into a comparative quiet There is very little speculative movements, and some of the operators who were unable yesterday to meet their engagements, are on their feet again to-day. The price has fluctuated between 175$ and- 176. FROM NEWBERN. NEWBERN, N. C., March 13. Cheers just from the front state that an order was read to the troops on Saturday evening last, irom JUsj. Uen cox, com manding, stating that thty would be joined by Sherman's army in tSreo days, which created the greatest enthusiasm. A rebel surgeon came in this morning and took the oath of allegiance. He says that Sherman's cavalry was in Troy, N. C, few days since, and that one wing of his army was moving on Fayetteville, one on Goldsboro, and another on Raleigh. xesterday alterneon the Mayor of li. ins- ton surrendered the city to our forces. Jrontoons were sent up this morning for that purpose. The enemy retreated rapidly from h. ma- ton to Goldsboro. St A report this morning states that Sher man is in possession of Goldsboro, and that the enemy are rushing back to Kinston to prevent our forces from crossing the Neuse river at that point This is not official however. The enemy left 700 of their dead on the field before crossing the river, which we buried; also many wounded, which fell into our hands. The gunboat Shamrock has gone up the Neuse to Kinston. The river is very high. E. P. Gardner, a Government detective. has just arrived from the front, and states that he saw a bearer oi dispatches from General Sherman, who told him that Gen eral Sherman was at Goldsboro at two o'clock Friday afternoon. The enemy made a charge on our works, which was repulsed, and we captured the 46 th North Carolina robol regiment 1 No fighting of any account occurred yes terday or to-day. There has been no rain Bince Thursday last The weather is wrm and pleasant and roads good. General ochoheld left for the front this morning, lie rtceivod a communication yesterday from General Sherman, via Wil mington. Sherman says he is all right Negroes are being pressed into work on tbe railroad. General Ewing, a brother-in-law of Gen. Sherman, has just arrived here with his staff, for tho purpose of joining General Sherman. A member of his staff says there is no doubt but that they will j. in bherman in a lew days. 1 he steamer Zodiac arrived yesterday at Moorehead City, from New York, making the trip in forty-five hours, which is tbe fastest time made since the war.

The Eerala"s Wilmington dispatch, da ted March 11th, says: Two of Gen. Sher man's scouts, named George W. Quimby and Myron J. Arnick, the same who com municated with Gen. Foster on the Ogeo che, reached Wilmington on the 10th. They left Sherman at Laurel Hill, march ing on t ay etteville, and expecting to reach. that place either on the night of the 10th or morning ot tne litn. Boats started at once up the Cape Fear river to remove obstructions and open communication with Fayetteville. Sherman met with no serious opposition on his march and fought no battle. Rebel scouts have been hovering rcund him con stantly. A division of cavalry under Gen. M. C. Butler, is in his rear. Dick Taylor has not been seen, rebel reports to the con trary notwithstanding. General Sherman crossed the Great Pe des at Cheraw on the 4th. The town on the right bank was entrenched, but tbe rebels made a feeble defense. Sherman's cavalry dashed in on the run and the rebels dashed out also on the run. In their flight they chivalrously left to our men seventeen guns in position Four more were found on the north bank. The rebels appeared content with acting as an escort of Sherman s army, trotting along in front as if they had captured his whole army; as they also had a division of very peaceable cavalry following behind. General Longitreet has placed restric tions on the exchange of newspapers. We don't wonder that the rebel authorities don't want their people to get hold oi our papers. They are so full of victory after victory, all news of which are carefully excluded from Richmond journals, that the very sight of them would paralyse a rebel reader with despair. The New Jersey Senate hat rejected the Constitutional Amendment by a vote of 12 to 7. Very well, gentlemen ! But the people of New Jersey have something to say on the subject They will revise and reverse your decision. Our usual Special Telegraphic Report to the Western Associated Press is this morning incorporated with the regular dispatches to the New York Associated Press. The usual amount and variety of telegraph is nevertheless offered to the reader. Gold 167 ! Bottom hasn't been touch ed yet, and it may drop lower still to-day. One year ago it was held at 162, and rap idly going up. The rumor of Peace Commissioners ap proaching our lines again turns out to be a canard, as we supposed it would. One Hundred and Fifteen Millions of Seven-Thirties. [From the Philadelphia Press, March 11.] Nearly 115 millions of the popular 7-30 Loan had been disposed of up to Saturday night last, and not more than 60 millions of this particular" loan yet remain. It will be borne in mind that the notes now sold have a little less than two and a half years to run before they mature, when the valu able privilege occurs of their convertibility into 5 30 bonds, which have five years to run irom August 19, 1867. It is generally believed that our new and able Secretary, Mr. McCulloch, favors the present popular system of distributing Government loans, as now familiar to the people. Therefore it is to be expjeted that, after the present issue of 7-30i is exhausted, the sale will be continued on a new issue, having a longer period to run before the valuable priv ilege of convertibility into 6-20 bonds occurs to thorn, The six hundred millions. just authorized by Congress will probably, as far as needed, be raised from sales oi tne 7-30 loan, dividod up into three or four series ofissuea say $100,000,009 or $150,- ouu.ooo eacn tne nrst iotios oi one Hun dred and fifty millions maturing say one year later than the present old issue, and so on, making each series mature one year later than the previous one, and if holders required the loan to be paid at maturity, tho demand could be met by receipts from internal revenue and other sources. The subscription agent, while endeavoring to dispose of the present issue as rapidly as possible, does not wisn to convey toe luea that there will be no more of the 7 30 loan, as Mr. McCulloch will doubtless decide that the people shall be allowed to continue their subscriptions without changing the nature of the loan farther than to postpone the maturity ot the issues to later periods. Some will regard those maturing at an earlier dale wi'.h more favor; others, re garding the probability of a speedy re sumption of epecie payments, will favor those having longer time to run. General Schofield's "Joy Gun." Soon after our forces occupied Wilming ton, a stalwart, intelligent negro called at General Schofleld's headquarters and asked to see the General. He was shown into the room, when his mission was made known. He had gathered together hun dreds of stout men and marched them from the interior, by night, through the thick ets, swamps and forests. .Not knowing whether our forces were yet in wuming ton. he left the men behind and scouted through himself, promising them that if the "Union men were in Wilmington, he would ask the General to fire a joy gun, when they were all to come in and join him." "And now, General," the negro said, "I find you good Union folks all here, and it makes my neart lump ior joy; ana won t you have the big gun fired 7 Oh, master, it will make my poor old motner cry wnen she hears that j-y gun, and all the men will be glad, and join your army." lien- era! Schoneld promised him that his 'joy gun" should be fired, and the man weut out, waiting to hear lis echo through the mco forests and hilis. The ueneTai order ed one of the heaviest pieces of artillery in the fort to be firhd. That 'joy gun" was fired; its echo is still ringing through tree lor est?, and over those sandy plains. It was a joyful sound to those hunted fugitives, secreted in the swamp3 about the city. It called them trom tnevr niding places, and in nun areas they came, and with strong arms, and what is better still, witn Jojiul nearts nearts willing and anxious to do what little they could lor the power that had broken off their chains, and freed them from the shackles of their task-masters. They are enrolling their names to-day, on the re cruiting lists of this great army of freemen, and clad m blue, anc witn Xankee muskets, they will be loromost in the grand army, now marshaling for the death struggle. That gun, that was a joyful moeeenger to them, was haired by hundreds of others, fleeing from the advancing armies of the Union, it did not call tAentus, nowever. Tt quickened their speed and carried them farther away trom the power they dared not meet Their arms were lull as strong and able to do duty for the old flag, but their hearts were bitter in their hatred of that flag. Ia this they differed. One was black, the otner was wnite. cne was loyai the other disloyal The joy gun rallied one class about tie flag, while it drove the other from it Other joy guns are being fired. The hills and valleys of North Car olina, are echoing to the sound of thousands of them. They are joy gnns to the one class, while they jing with despair for an other. Wilmington, Cor. Cm. Commercial. Plethora of Pennies. The "penny" absurdity gives signs o exploding. For months, if not for years, hall the small dealers have been hoarding pennies, under the foolish idea that they were more valuable on account oi being coin, and that, like gold and silver, they, too, ought to command a premium. The fact that they were intrinsically worth much less than their face value could never be beaten into the heads of these ignorant i- people; and tne mint was kept busy turn ing out pennies at four times the natural rate of supply. The issue of the three cent fractional currency nr tee, however, has so completely broken down the demand for pennies for chango tnat tne noaruers oegin to pour them out During the- last days of the session ot congress a committee repre senting the leading Northern street railway companies was here, asking for protection against this nood ot pennies, nut noin ng was done: but before long a law making I them lcgai teid-r (or '-rr; lc3s than five, lor, perhaps, less tba. la cents, will be- come necessary. Washington letter. Court Martial of Colonel Crane. QThe Nashville correspondent of the cinati Times writes the following: Several interesting and important eases have lately been up before the Court Mar tial sitting here. On last Thursday, evi dence was closed in one of the heaviest of these, that of Colonel J no. O. Crane, lata purchasing and disbursing Quartermaster for U. S. Military railroads at this post. Colonel Crane is arraigned on the eharga of disobedience of orders, whereby a deficit was incurred amounting to tbe enormous sum of $852,000. The Judge Advocate, Captain C. R. Miller, closed the prosecu tion last Friday, but the final decision will not be made known until announced by the Commander of the Department Captain A. B. Eddy, who is imnlicatedl in the trasactions of Crane, is on the docket next The Court sits with closed doors, and consequently very little can be gen nerally known concerning the character of the evidence given, but it is expected that both these parties, in connection with several other individuals more or lest im plicated, will be severely punished. Colonel Crane is well known in this sec tion, and his friends here will not be light ly convinced that he hat done anything criminal or dishonest Oil Items. is extending in the neighborhood of Cumberland. Com panies are organizing in various sections of that county, and as soon as the spring fair ly opens they propose to begin boring. Ia the George's Creek Valley, and in the neighborhood of Grantsville and Shelbys- port especially, the excitement is quia high. A number of the printers ot Erie city have secured the lease of a lot in that city. adjoining the Morion and Althoff wells, and have formed a company to be known aa "The Nonpareil Oil Company," with a capital of $40,000. The books were opened on Friday evening last, and in twenty-four hours thirty-six shares, or nearly one-half of the proposed capital, was taken. The printers are confident of success, and will immediately proceed to develop their ter ritory. The oil fever in Iowa is raging fiercely. The Joliet Signal says : "A good oil ipring has been discovered on the farm of Frank Goist, four miles west of this city, on the' Plainfleld road. It is said to be quite rich, and has been bought by a company for $10,000. There is no doubt that petroleum exists in abundance in the vicinity of Joliet" A correspondent of the Toledo Com mercial says that the oil indications around Lakeporl, Michigan, in a region about twenty miles in length by eight wide, are excellent The surface of the earth is level and gently undulating. Only two wells have yet been sunk, both of which yield oil, but neither as yet in paying quantities. Many other wells are projected. Senator Therman's Reception. On the evening of March 7tb, Senator Sherman gave a reception in his mansion on K street Washington, to the citizens of Ohio than on a visit to the Capital. Among the distinguished guests were cmel J ustice Chase, Pottmaster General Deonison, and Congressmen Uarheld and Ashley. We noticed also E. Cowles, Postmaster at Cleve land, J. A. Harris, editor of the Cleveland Herald, B. W. Taylor, First Comptroller of the Treasury, Marshal Saud?, of the South ern District of Ohio, S. H. Kauffman, of the Treasury, A. P. Stone, F. C. Sessions, and J. J. Janney, of Columbus, B. C. Par sons and Georga ti. benter, of Cleveland, W. H. Trimble, of Hillsboro, Hon. B. Eg gleston, of Cincinnati, and many other well known citizens ot our tttate, whose names have escaped us. The reunion was a very pleasant one to all who participated Carpenter's picture of the scene in Mr. Lincoln Cabinet when the Emancipa tion Proclamation was under discussion, has been placed over the northern door of the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington.
