T PitUburgh Commercial, or a lata data, savt : "Tbo Allegheny Valley, form erly famous for Iti inexhaustible supply or lumber. Is now batter known throughout tba world for tba cheap light it jurnisbp tba million at boons and abroad. Its pe troleum trade alone renders it a household word. The oil trade at tba present day has nearly overtaken Ibe coal trade ia point of importance. The amount of lumber an nually brought dowo the Allegheny aver ages 112,000,000 feet; 30,000,000 are dis posed of annually Id tba Pittsburgh market, representing a value of 1,200,000. The value af tba whole amount ia give at $6,000,000. "The Petroleum trade of Pittsburgh ap proximates tc thirteen millions annually. Hlxty-elght refineries, tone of them monster establishments, are ooostantly In operation. Tba visitor who explore tbesa establish ments will find tbat tba greater portion of tn em possess inn tankage for on hundred thousand barrel. Ten '.thousand barrel tank are s common as barrows. A tank with capacity for thirty thousand barrels, and a surfao largo enough for a skating park, is, however, something seldom seen utslda of Pittsburgh. During the past year, 727,682 barrels of refined oil were hipped to Philadelphia alone. The coal-beds ol th Allegheny Valley bav -scarcely been broaobed as yet. In 1862, '63, '61, when there were but three cailaria la operation, tbo Jtotal amount transported over the Allegheny Railraad during these first three years of (be trade was 4,610,325 bushel, or 180.413 tons. Dnriag lb past four years the trade bas In-) creased nearly eighty per cent. The Alle gheny coal fllds embrace nearly two tbous. and acre. Tb oollerle employ about 600 bands, and support a population of two thousand. GOUBT BECOBO. Franklin-, Jan. 28, 1869. Tee jury in the case of Jaoob Sboppard and Geo. Geiger, two of the Benningboff robbeis came into Court at 10 o'clock, p. in., after belsg out five hours, with a verdict of guilty as to Jacob Sboppard in manner and form as be stands indicted, and not guilty at to George Geiger. The counsel for Jacob Sboppard gave notiee that he should apply for a new trial immediately. No other eases disposed of to-day. Tn Franklin Spectator says: "The big well on the Evans lot bas 'petered' out to a great extant.. The extraordinary yield for the first twenty-lour hours wat the proceeds of what borers call a 'pocket.' The 'pocket' contained soma twenty-two barrels. The prospects are tbat tba well will produce a small qutntity ot oil say two or three bar rels per day and tbat amount of tbat kind ol oil will make it really a vers good invest meat." ' Tn well of Thomas Frotbingbam on tb Pierton Farm, wa torpedoed on Thursday and la doing thirty barrels.

Per hips a starlight night Is the greatest instrument that Is permitted, otherwise than In revolution, to address maakind. We now know that, Ip contemplating those heavens, wa are looking at an bistorUal scene which makes all other historic trivial and transitory. The speck of light which we call star, is an emanation which proceed ed from It origin thousands of yeara ago perhaps, and may not in y manner repre se nt the state of the star at the present day. Then, again, it Is not as If wa were reading the history ot any one past period ; but we are reading the commingled history of In umerable ages, widely delstant from each other. If men thoroughly entered Into Ibe spirit of this strange weird stene it would be the greatest core for ambition, vanity and avaiiea tbat hat ever been.de vised. The idea It vary difficult to realize or to express. To compare small things with great this illustration may be used. It Is as If a man of tb present day were to tee (not to read about, but to see) Lord George Gordon's riots, Louis the Fourteenth's con quest af Flanders, Charlemagne', (laughter of the Saxons, Hsnnibal's vicory at Caanc, the balldiog of the hundred gated Thebe. and weary Methuselah celebrating hit seven hundredth birthday all at tba ama time, these scenes having reached his eye at the same B)oment,and beiog for bim the story of the persent day. Tun New Terk Herald of Jan 29 bat the following important communication, dited New York City, Jan. 28, and signed "W.": "Seeing the contradictory statements published in the papers regarding the fact, or otherwise el an order having been isaaed from the War Department to Gn. Banks shortly before the full of Vieksburg direct ing bim to relieve Gee. Grant, I beg to state the exact faott i the ease, and thus settle this much controverted question. While Gen. Grant was operating in front of Vieksburg I was employed as clerk . in Sec retary Staatoa 'a office at the War Depart ment at Washington.. Secretary Stautoo wrote two order, directing me to made two eepiea of them, one for telegraphing and one for filing. The first of these order was addressed to General Banks, directing bim to proceed at once to Vieksburg and relieve Gen. Grant. The second order waa ad dressed to Gen. Grant, direeting him to turn over his command to Gen. Banks oa the arrival of the latter, who had been or dered to relieve bim. I do not pretend to give the wording of these orders; I have given, however, their exact eubstance and tbey should be on file now in the War De partment unless tbey have since been re moved. I will state further -that the copies oftbese orders to be transmitted by tele, graph I ssnt by Messeagor to the War De partment telegraph office by order of Sec retary Stanton. These copies shonld be on file in the latter office." Tn German North Pole Expedition, which has been so long talked of, it is now expected will sail early in tbo coming summer, under the direction of Dr. Peter- moon. The letter ot Prinse Napoleon to II. Lambert, of the French North Pole Ex pedition, baa served to re-inapire the Ger mans with spirit towards the carryiog oat of Petermson's plans. The Prince's gilt of tea thousand francs, and hi remark that State aid should not be requested, is a good example to the French people but tha Germans do not need such in citement, for the whole nation feels a very determined pride that success must crown the effort of th bold undertakers of the ex pedition, Rsamkgs. On Wednesday evening next, Mr. Kennedy King, of Erie, will give dram atic and poetical readings at the M. E. Church, in this place.

Captain 'Travis gave an exhibition of pistol shooting at bis gallery, in Chicago a few days since, in which he excelled any of bis previous astoaishing pertormaiiees, by s friet of bsznrd'U fia's requiring th most consummate skill on his purl, and extraor dinary daring In that of tbe gentleman who assisted in them. Mr. John Rover, of Texas, beldja cup on bis head and Travis, fired a pistol bullet ibrongh it from a dis tance of twelve paces. Tb feat Was repeat ed twice, the ball going each time within an Inch of the cranium of tb ventuieanme bolder. Tbe tamo gentleman also held, be tween hi finger a small lemon, and after, wards a business card about an inch and a half square, and through each Capt, Travis pnt a btillet, at tbe same distance, with one of the regular gallery pistol. " Few peopl would car to run such risks as Mr. Rover did and fewer still would successfully imitate Capt. Travis' wonderfull skill. Ak argument for coal freight can be seen in the transportation of wheat from tbe vi cinity or Dubuque. It take tb value of one bushel of wheat to carry another bushel to market, and from points further West or lurlher from water communication tbe cost is ot course proportionately treater. ' This demonstrates two things: First, the Impor tance ef ample transportation facilities ot the cheapest kind; aad second, the vast ad vantage ol manufactures in ereiting a home market. If Iowa dad a diversified .industry, creating a borne demand lor ber agricultu ral products, every bushel uf wheat she raises would bs worth as much as two bush else now. She would also sive the cost of transportation on these mantvtWlnred products which she now imports fium Europe or tbe East. This double saving on trans portation would be equitably divi ed among' tbe various clafes of hnr own producers.
