TExAs.-The people Of Texas dwell in
the midst of alarms. Mexican bandltti,
Indians or abolilionists are always raising
muss somewhere. In the case OF the
Mexicans and Indians, the reports, indus
triously kept up for months together, have
proved to be nine-tenths invention and ex'
aggeration, and the present outcry about
abolition instructions seems to De very
much after the same pattern. The motive
Of this is TO exasperate the pro-slsVery peo-
pie against the anti tislaVery settlers 10 0Orth'
eastern Texas, make the country 700 not

erection of free state there. There have

THE BREAK-uP OF THE AMERICAN PARTY ~
NKw YoRK at its late Schenectady meeting, ia

TINS on WELLS or MRcoA - Returning from
johnson the other day, we took Mecca in our
way, and spent little time 10 looking at the
Oil Wells We found deal OF activity about
the vicinity. and quite q crude village growing
up about what are called Powers Corners.
The number OF wells sunk in the vicinity, with
in the range Of q mile or So Is about 200, and
others are being started daily. or these City to
seventy Eve promise TO be paying wells Thir-
teen steam engines have been put In operation,
pumping, and some eight or ten more are on
the ground aud will be in motion in few days.
Some of these wells yield from IL to l6 barrels
per day, and some, 8 to 10 barrels. 1t is pro.
bable that the average daily yield is about
six barrels Of 40 gallons each, to each we'll, or
about seventy-fve barrels or thres thousand
gallons per day in oil. This amount Is increas.
ing every day, as new wells are being sunk, and
improvements in tho raising aud separating ap.
paratus are made. The quantity thus raised, it
will be seen, is not equal to many Of the wells
at Titusvie, but the oil is said to be Of a very
excellent character, The wells in several in
stances are of much less depth than those in
Pa, some Of them are only from so to 60 feet
deep. The quantity Of water raised, without
any appreciable dimuniton is very great, and
would seem to exhaust any conceivable or defn-
ite supply. The temporary and imperfect char
acter of the appliances for raising the mingled
substances Of oil and water, cause much delay
and expenditure 10 repairs, so that the number
OF wells actually at work at any one time is but
a very small proportion Of the whole, which
fact has much to DO with the net profits Of the
business II will, we think, require experience
to secure the amount OF advantages Of which
these reservoirs OF oil are capable OF nffording
and many, we doubt not, will spend money and
labor in vezation, aud like gold hunting, fnt
themselves some way behind the fortunes they
had upon the start so eagerly clutched at.
