Jostru E. McDon ald and Hon. M. M. Rat are in Wtibinton for a aira'.lar purpose. The onion mcaiHcrs of the Indiana delegation hould b the la.t to prcu-t aga'tott the exercise of executive clemency in thee cases. The republican prospect' forcarrying the last state election were at a low ebb until the conspiracy development occurred; then they received Dear life. Thousands of timid men, who would other le bare roted the democratic ticket, became alarmed at tho revelations ai d fared hat the democratic party were identified w'.;b the insane revolutionary whfM plotted Ly a few visionary men. That tbia wis. not the cae event hav flnce demonstrated. The conervatism of the dem'rtMtio rnrty f ived c from the eri!j of civil war and anarchy in the tcrth. The republican leader, bjwever, feized upon the revelation". which were made pnblic at an opportun period! with most admirable calculation, and ue 1 them to advance their partisan interests most -advan tageouslj. Many of the prominent men of the republican pirtv have admitted that the? owed their succe.M in the late elections to that ctue, a 1 at the atr.e time the . scheme was defeated, at leaü so far as this etite is concemeJ, without any aid on their part Even if it i conceded that the parties who were eondetnted upon the trial before the niüUrj com tniMoa io thi city were guilty of the crime alleged ajjniuft them, ccrtuii.lv ihe part j and the partisans who have benefitted by the wrong abould h the U.-t to Ti'irsue thera to the bitter end. When viewed ffcdo. this standpoint, and it has a igriifici.r-e which some day may be more apparent to the people generally than it now is, certainly tho-e ia authority should temper jndgment with mercy. If revolution bid been pretrapitatcd by the plotiagi charged, the aiders and abettors cuuM have nocLiim far eoT?.identio:i, but nothing came of them It was natural that men should J.ßVr s to the true rented v for the fearful crisis of the k country. The re-election of Mr. Lincoln t d the aent of the defeated party in that election to the result, is au acquiescence in the policy represented by the president, without, however, " jieldiug principle or even convictions as to its wisdom upon thi part of thos who uppocl it When a minority about eiual to the majority yield f,racitu'.Iy to the "recorded verdict of the billot bit. the nircesful Dartv should be mirraai.inioui. Mr Lim.vi. 9 immediately after his election pro no-t con ciHatin? words towards thoe wlio differed with - Lira. Under the-e circum.ita:ici-s we ctnnt per celve the wisdom or ii!icy of ft 1 1 1 further ex citing prtitn animosities, otbrwi.-a tl-ey should - be burii. Suaue will it l if a counter re volution in public sentiment docs n- t occur, and Us deUv ui m.ko it more overwhelming when the winds cease and permit the return of the waves which h ite so l-ng been driven in oi.e direction. Then the men riow'm power and who have dircctc-l public ulHiis will . ch irge places with those over whom they hive held sway with either generosity and liberality, or an iron rule The lessons of history should he remembered by those wbo represent the dominant party and ate responsible for the conduct of the government sxd the manner of its administration.

He wrs engaged (or many years in th dichnrge of various rejoD"i':bie public du'ie. In the caure)of education he was an zealots advo c-ate. He serve! the T rt Wayne College aa Fic-i lent of the board of trustees from the tiine A its orginizati-jn. Tlie Graded Schools of this city fehared largely of his lavor both as a citizcu and trustee. He terred five yers in the Legislature of the State of Indiana two in the Houe of UepreeDtatives at.d three in the Senate. He wis electel to Congress in lGl.and served his full time with honorable success. It id climated that the oil product of Yen ango county, I'd., is at leist 10.0UU barrels !?ai!y. Ths, at the average price of ten dollars at the wells, which is a low average, will give one huidred thousand dollars a day, or over thirtyone million dollars a year. The number of wills ou Oil creek, in July, 1C2, was seven hundred ; nt that time, the number of wells down at.d going down in the country, is estimated betweea three and four thousiud.

Here I, f-erhaps. should apply m? autograph and s;op, but I feel symptoms of the petroleum fever, now to jtrevalent in "the et." Wehave otue cxcitcmei t on the subject in Clay county. I write u-A to get up a furore that might lrad to iil udvistd "boring. " Jly object is to get up ii.u.ry atii ptoer inc.-tiga;iou of all the facts, and boriiig. it tacts and geologic truths warrm.t So far as I am adviicd, all the oil wells are within, or on the verge of the"coal fielis." IIer.ce the name "coal oil." Whether it is of animal or vegetable origin, or, like water, a combination of g iscs, is not known. 1 have not seen au expose of the geologic strata bored through, nor a po-i-live tau n.en? a.s tu whether it is iurariably on u given strata when fouiid. I am inclined to the belief hat it is :ni.d in, or on, the strata of the Divonian geologic age. The eastern verge of this formation is t ear Indianapolis, dipping to the .outhwest at a rate of, perhaps thirty feet to the mile. Next above this is the " mouutain lime-tor.e," cen at Greenca-tle. Cloe above it comes the " conglomerate" (" miHtotie grit"), at the ba?e of the "coal series." This woik is at the eastem line of Clay county; on the Indianapolis and Tot re Haute railroad. If the petroleum in any wi-e is connect ed with the coal formation, or with the uni unl or vegetable life of that age of the development of this plattet of our?, then inves tigators shcu'd make note of this fact. Several col beds found iu Pcausjlvania, Virginia, and Ohio, are wanting iu Indiana. The Indiana coal is of the latest c;al formation, as bown by the fossil timber and ferns. ' The coal eeams occur, and are mined on the railroad above named. thu-: first b'.-d at Brazil ; second at New Berg ; third (three seams jointly) at Staunton ; fourth at Cloverland. So much for the geologic facts. Let the seien tific, who have visited the borings, judge if they warrant the boring for oil here. The surface indications are these : Petroleum comes to the surface on many of our springs. It is troublesome and offensive on mine. When gathered, ard fire applied, it bums readily. I doubt not tint Clay Co is rich in oil If oil be found in Crawford, Berrv, Parke, and Pulaski counties, then it may bo safely averred to exist in all the coal region of Indiana. I affix my real name, and will gladly receive or give any facts that will aid io giving Hohl on the " oil auettion." our ob't serv't.s James Feeolson Ne.r Centre Point, Clay Co., Ind., January 23, lbCi. GoVtBXMIXT BciLPIXGS AND IMPROVEMENTS at Jirrxasos villi. We copy from The Louisrille Press the following statement of the expenditures by the government for improvements in the city of Jetfersonville: The buildings erected at JefTersonville for hospital purposes, for warehouses, and the other improvements there by the government, have been on a scale of expenditure of which few of our readers perhaps have anything like a correct idea In constructing the hospitals and f urni?hing them with every modern appliance of convetiieuco and comfort, the government has not shown itself niggard of its means in looking to the welfare of the sick and wounded of our gallant armies. The Jefferson general hospital will accommodate two thousand patients, aid is sup plied with gas, hot and cold water, steam laundry, steam cooking apparatus, baths, steam pumps, fire apparatus, ic, all upou the most approved modern plans. The co?t of the plumbing, materials, pipes, &c, was $33 000; of the waterworks, $-J8.tH) The cost of the whole struc ture was2i0.000. The "Joe Holt" general hospital, in one of the most eligible locations lor a hospital in the whole west, tear the falls of the river, will ac commodate one thousand patients, and was erected at an expenditure of $110,000. It is also arranged and furnished with reference to the entire comfort and well being of its inmates. Twelve large government warehouses have been erected, capacious enough to contain thirty million dollars worth of supplies. These ate required to transact the immense business con nected with supplying our armies in Tennessee and Georgia. Of these there are two ordinance warchoases, 350 by 180 feet each; five commis sary warehouses, 200 by 120 feet each, with cellars under each: one quartermasters' warehouse, 150 by CO feet. The total cost of these build ins was $125.000. Sitches of the JefTer:ouvtlle railroad extend to each of them, and the five furni.-hed with cellars are provided with a .stationary engine, hoistinc appiratus, and traiuwav, by which boits are loaded and unloaded by team. A Worthir.gton steam pump and fire apparatus have been provided for these buildit. rs. Barracks for the accommodation of six hundred men and twenty officers have been erectel at a co: of $15.000; and four stable 210 by 24 .'et, accommodating 4M0 animals, at a cost of iH0.

It had been develope! in testimony bcfjrc the sreut military commission j in this city that these orders were originated in 1 'i state mmth after the date indicated. jit. Milroy sau ttiar r:c was on tne committee which reported that military bill, and any man who said he was con'rolled hv a secret oranizition, or was a member, or had been a member thereof, asserted that which was a falsehood. Messrs. Puett and Abbett toth said that they were oppo-ed to secret robtieal organizitions Each had openly ani hr.ldly denounced them, and each had tceu in favor of the milit irv bill of ltX3. Mr. Branham continued. He Bald that he had been scut for by the sergeant-at-arm to testify before the military committee of the lat leis latere. His friends all along the line had tele graphed him to. know whether they would hati this sergeant at arms or not t By no means ! he answered. And wheu this sergeant arrived in Madison he went to the depot to meet htm He ksked him if he had come to arrest him and take him to Indianapolis ? The sergeant said no ; if he could get away with a wholo skin he th.nihi be satisfied. Mr. Branham went on saying that, while that military bill was pending, due notice had been given by those with, whom he acted that if it passed, every prominent man who advocated -it should die! Thtt wis whit w is ?wor:i to. He gloried, therefore, in being b.dttr on that bill, because by so doing he had saved his ttate from war's wide devastation. He felt much better now than he did two years ago. Thank God ! there was a mijority here to back hirn in what he said, und, thank (Jod ! there ws a majority of the people behind thea to bck them. These internal traitors who had planned this military bill had met some of them and the rest of them would soon meet their just doom Mr. Branhan denounced Michael G. Bright, and said a democrat bad told him that Bright and h:s party ought to be in hell. He concluded bv suing that a man who would not sacrifice hiincll for bis coui.tr j ought to be bung twice as high as Ilanian Miking i motion, which was carried, that when the House ndjourn it be until Monday,- at 2 p in,. Mr. Branham took his scat. Mr. , from the lobby replied to Mr. Brown in an inaudible voice. He. not being recognized by Mr. Speaker, rematked that Mr. Branham's eloquent remarks reminded him of what a previous eminent orator bad said oa an occasion be fore 4 He who dar thee boots displace, Mustiueet Bombastes face lo faca." ATter the transaction of further unimportant business, the House, on motion of Mr Brown, adj Ji.rrie'i. 'A Migtuu. upoif t:c Humanity of tlir Mate. Gov. Morton, in bis recent aunual message to the legislature, t-'s the abore vigorous language to express bis t-c .i"ments in favor of allowing negroes to tetif against white men in courts of jn-'ice. His lauga ige is as follows : " The statute wl,i. :i excludes negroes from testifying in court? ct justice, in cases in which white persons are aities, is, ia my opinion, a stigma upon the hunt tr.ity and ir.'eliigenee of the Siate" " This, L it remembered, is the Imguige'.T no less an individual than GovetjiCr Morton; ar: J we wish it recorded ia this, connection, th it those potit'cijcs vvho declared lhat the democrats were slandering the governor and his party, when they ch irgel it as a part of their phtfortn to equalize the negroes with the whites, were either greatly deceived thennelve-i, or what is worse, they wilfully deceived the pa Bat the governor is not the only high faL.ctior.ary hIi-j is pto-ressir?" tn this negro equalily.
