AUG-USTA. q-a.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEB. 24, 1860
Banking Office of Hoyt & Gardner, I
5 New Street, >
f New York, February 20th, 1869.)
The chief feature of the market this week
was the effort to sustain gold, by the power
ful combination known as the “ Erie
clique.” It was singular that they should
select such time to bull gold, taking into
consideration thS fact that our bonds were
advancing in Europe ; that exchange was
pressed for sale at low rates, and that the
new administration Ls so soon to come into
power. The theory advanced was that it
was estimated that there was , a . short iji
terest in gold to the extent of $80,000,000
(eighty millions.) That it was necessary to
sustain gold in order to keep the stock mar
ket steady, and that if the shorts had taken
alar n anil attempted to cover the premium
would have rapidly advanced.
The stock market has been dull and tame
during the week, aud it was evident that
they (the clique) were neglecting it, direct
ing all their attention in the direction of
the gold room. On Thursday gold broke
135 5 and declined to 134% upon heavy
sales. On Friday it opened at 134 and soon
fell to 133%, which seems lowest point for
the present. It is assumed that lower
figures would have been reached had it not
been for the very large line of shorts who
gladly took advantage of the decline to
cover.
The changes in stocks during the week
have not been many nor frequent, the
principal feature being the heavy decline in
Pacific Mail from 115% to 105, nearly 10
per cent. It broke 120 and sold down to
116, upon the sales of thirty thousand
(30,000) shares of the stock by a prominent
director of the company, who held this
amount as trustee for an estate belonging
f.O ci minor , he considering it not the kind of
property to hold in trust. A combination
of brokers, who were operating for a de
cline, took advantage of the fall and the
effect of such a large block of stock upon
the market, and succeeded in pressing it
still lower. The company on Thursday de
clared a cash dividend of 3 per cent, for the
quarter ending March Ist.
Government securities of all descriptions
have been buoyant this week, (upon large
orders by cable to buy for foreign account.)
The advance abroad has been marked and
rapid Exchange has been cheap in con
sequence, anfl pressed for sales.
Money was essy at 7 per cenE early in
the week, but on Wednesday and Thursday
there was a sharp demand for it, and in
many instances 7 per cent, coin interest
was freely paid. It was caused mostly by
the low price of exchange, many unwilling
to sell at the low figures.

Wonders *nf the Oil Rozlun.
A remarkable phenomena has appeared
in the oil regions of Pithole City, Pa. A
fire broke out on the sth instant in one of
the wells, which has since been constantly
burning. To quench it all the wells in the
neighborhood were laid under contribution.
These were quickly pumped out, and about
8 o’clock next morning a man went to his
pump for water, but imagine his surprise
when he pumped up pure petroleum. The
news quickly spread, and crowds collected,
and all day long the process was kept up,
the pump lifting out pure oil of a specific
gravity of 42 degrees. An engineer who
visited the spot thought the oil came from
a leak in tJie Miller Farm pumps, which
pass but a few hundred feet from it, but
this theory has been disproved by later de
velopments. All the wells in the neighbor
hood were immediately pumped dry, when
the precious liquid began to flow in each,
•which was carried away in bottles, buckets
and all sorts of articles by the people. The
first well “ strnck ” belongs to a Mrs. Rick
ets, a widow woman, who has heretofore
earned a living by washing. It is at the
depth of sixteen feet, and was only pumped
at intervals, but the oil came freely in an
swer to the pumping, and would fill a bar
rel in ten minutes. It was n6t worked more
on account of a difficulty in getting bar
rels to put. the oil in.
Mrs. Rickets was offered, at first, ft ,ooo
for it, and then $2,000, until at last a gen
tleman secured the refusal at $5,000. —
Meanwhile, the well which is on fire can be
seen at a great distance, the flames rising
sixty feet high, and the crackling of it can
be distinctly heard a mile off. At times it
burns fiercer than usual, breaking, and roar
ing, and threatening to burst the earth and
eugulf all within its reach, and forming a
scene beautifully grand and sublime. The
ground around the well for nearly five hun
dred feet in every direction has been
thoroughly baked bv the heat, and at a lit
tle distance the trees are budding, and some
have actually put forth leaves. In some
places the grass has grown two inches
high, forcibly reminding one of Summer on
a small scale. The well is owued by par
ties in Rochester, New York, and was
struck some four weeks ago. It commenced
flowing oil and water, with a very strong
force of gas, and so continued until the fire.
Curiosities of Crime.
ASTONISHING ADVENTURES OF A CORPSE.
Mrs. Gamble was a widow whose hus
band had left her in comparative affluence,
floon after the good man’s death she mar
ried again, and her second husband pur
chased property at Clarkstown, Rockland
county, N. Y., where they went to reside.
While there the husband became intimate
with a dashing sort of dame named Mrs.
Hujis. Mrs. Gamble soon became ill, and
died on the 2d of August. Her husband
did not inform her relatives of the fact, but
quietly took her remains to Greenwood
Cemetery, where they were interred. The
relatives, on hearing of the circumstances
of her death, caused the arrest of the hus
band and Mrs. Hujis on a charge of poison
ing. The remains were disinterred and
taken to Pierpont, where the coroner of
Rockland county held an inquest. Prof.
Doremus fohnd traces or poison in the
stomach fourteen days after her interment,
but there was no evidence to implicate Mrs.
Hujis or Mr. Gamble, and they were ac
cordingly discharged, and the body of Mrs.
Gamble was again committed to mother
earth In Greenwood.
It was again disinterred, and the coroner
of Kings county held another inquest, with
a view of issuing a fresh warrant- for the
arrest of the reputed lovers, who were in
full enjoyment of the property of Mrs.
Gamble, who had bequeathed it to her hus
band before her death. An injunction stay
ing the proceedings was obtained from one
of the Judges of the Supreme Court of New
York and the coroners of both Kings and
Rockland counties were prohibited from
holding any further inquest over the par
tially decomposed remains of the dead
woman. The remains, strange to say
were left with the Metropolitan Board of
Health in New York, and bv them sent to
the Morgue. Coroner SChlrrqag j of that city
next held an inquest, with afiew of grant
ing a permit of burial. He did this on the
31st of December, but owing to the difflcnl
ty of obtaining evidence to identify the
body he was unable to complete the inves-
titration until last Thursday, when the
body was identified by the sister and the
brother as that of the late Mrs. Gamble.
The remains were in a state a putrefaction,
and could be Identified only by the clotli
fno-’a peculiar formation of the feet, and
prayer book and some wreaths which had
been placed in the coffin. The body was
handed over to the relatives, and, it is sup
posed, has gone to its last home.

The Ouban Conflict.
From a special from Havana via Key West,
dated the 17th, we gather the following par
ticulars of the progress tl* e revolution in
Cuba:
A rising, led by Colonel Incian, a Mexican,
is reported at Colon, <he port of the Vuelta
Abajo tobacco district, on tbe south coast, and
there is said to be an organization of 4,000 men
in tbe Cuzco mountains waiting for the signal
to move. More Mexican leaders are said to he
there and elset^iere.
The passengers by the British schoonet Gal
vanic, recently captured in the old Bahama
channel, have been tried in the maritime courts
aud sentenced to death. General Dulce refuses
to recognize the jurisdiction of the court, and
will probably send the prisoners as convicts to
Spain or some of the Spanish penal settle
ments. The schooner has been declared a prize.
The British Consul has notified his government
and hopes to obtain the release of the captain
and his crew.
Advices from Trinidad to the 9th state that
the American Consul there has resigned, turned
the nlliee over to another party and joined the
insurgents. The insurgents hold pn? Tutlas
and have many Spanish prisoners as hostages
for the time after the amnesty proclamation
expires.
Tho United State* Consul having applied for
a passport for a natnri,li«.*.t Amciwin cinzcD,
the latter was arrested, and the Captain General
informed the Consul that he did not recognize
his right to apply for passports. The Consul
lias telegraphed io Washington, asking for
prompt intervention to protect American citi
zens or accept his resignation
An American engineer, who has come in
from the jurisdiction of San Antonio, eight,
leagued southwest of this, reporfs that a body
of 300 insurgeuts had seared the operatives
from the sugar plantations in that vicinity, and
work had ceased. American engineers engaged
in taking oft sugar crops in tbe Vuelta Abajo
district aud elsewhere, fearing impressment,
are daily coming into Havana. General Dulce
has released the Cubans producing American
naturalization papers.
A letter from Trinidad, of the 13th, states
that the Cubans have risen everywhere iu that,
vicinity, and destroyed the telegraph ijnd stop
, ped the mads.
A body of troops sent on the 7th to San
Miguel burned the town and returned on the
Bth with a loss of twenty.

FEARFUI. SUFFERINGS OF A SHIPWRECKED
CREW.
The African mail steamer Biitfra, which ar
rived at Liverpool February 1, brought home
the crew of the hark Florence Nighlingale,
which was lost on the African coast. The Flor
ence Nightingale, Captain J. ,J . Bright, ol Lon
don, left Bathurst, Qanjbia fiver, for Sierra
Leone, December 24th, with seven femnla pass
engets, two priests, two Kroomen and nine
ship’s crew. On the night ot the 28th, the
vessel struck on a sand hank not marked in
the charts, and which was not at the time sur
rounded by broken water. Ail efforts'being
useless to save her, and two boats and one of
the Kroomen being lost, a raft was formed
and Supplied with some provisions, brandy
and sherry, but the captain unfortunately
torgol water, Rud hls chest containing his
instruments, charts, Ac. The raft was towed
by a small boat, seventeen feet by six inches,
but as they eoqlfl not make head against
the current, they were oil, twenty in no in
ber, forced to get into tjie boat. Their pro
visions, etc., were soon exhausted, and they
began to drink Boa water, which spou made
one man, a sailor, named Brown* crazy.—
When all the food wis exhausted, they drew
lots who should kill Brown belore lie died, —
The lot fell on a colored hoy from Bathurst,
who, however, refused. At that moment the
captain providentially eagglit a fish, three
pounds weight, having made a fish-hook from a
woman’s hair-pin, which lie baited with a por
tion of a prub caught in some sea-weed. While*
the fish was being devoured Br° w n expired,
and was thrown overboard. Previous to this
the crew and passengers had greedily spoked
up some blood which came from Brown’s body
when the captain hied him to moderate bis
frenzy; some crabs and butterflies were also
voraciously devoured. On the sth of January
they fortunately reached the Isle de Los, where
they were treated with the greatest kindness
by Captain Curren, of the American whaler 8.
A. Paine, of Providence, R. 1. Captain Curren
took them to Sierra Leone, whence they were
sent home as distressed British seamen. The
twenty persons were nine days in an open boat,
during which they drifted two hundred miles
under a tropical sun, and had only tweuly
pounds of provisions and not a drop of water
all the time.
The South Carolina Railroad and the

are authorized to say are entirely incorrect.
One is that the Presidents of the South Caro

appointment in Augusta this week, to adjust
the relations ol the two roads ; the other is the
unexpected announcement of a decision having
been rendered by the Supreme Court in the
ease now pending between these companies.
The President of the South Carolina Railroad
knows nothing of the alleged appointment, nor
are the solicitors of the South Caroliui Rail

Pacific Guano Company's Soluble
PACIFIC GUANO.
Capital, One Million Dollars.
o
This GUANO differs from Peruvian Guane
simply in the relative p oporiLms ol tr e same element
of fertility.
Its use during the past four years, for the culture of
Cotton and Corn, has given to it a character for stand
ard excellence nnsnrpa»sed hy Peruvian Guano, and
when seasons of drought intervene it produces a larger
increaso of crops. The price at which this Guano is
placed is so much below that of Peruvian Guano as
to constitute it an object of maicrial importance to
Southern agriculture.
The Company looks to “ large sales,” small “ prof
its” and a permanent trade for compensation on capi
tal invested.
The large capital and resources of the Company en
ables it to furnish a Gnano of the highest value, at
the lowest possible cost to consumers, and the highest
interest of the Oorapany is recognized in this policy.
Dr. Bt. Julian Ravenel, of Charleston, 8. C., is
Scientific Direotor to the Company, which affords a
sure guarantee of the continued excellence of the
Gnano.
None genuine unless branded with the nam'e of

It is the opinion of some of the most distinguished
Chemists in the United States, and the experience of
numerous Planters, that PHOSPHATIC GUANO,
•when rich like the above, is better adapted to Cotton,
Corn and all Cereals, and is safer and more reliable in
Tery wet or very dry season, than Arumoniacal Guano.
