remarkable Circumstance that Hon lsaac Davis,
an old and sterling democrat, has been elected
msyor Of W Orcester-the hot-bed Of MaSsachu-
setts ultra republicanism-is thus alluded to by
the Transcripts (rep Of that city:
"A city that on the 9th day Of November cast
2s4S republican votes to .3iS for all others-just
two to one-on the 9th OF December gives ma
ioyity of I73 for the democratic condidate, under
The name Of Citizens ticket Some Of the causes
for this change not far to seek; others are Of
more doubtful nature"
Again, Ii says:
0It is certainly singular Circumstance that In
fourteen cities Of this Commonwealth-every one
but one giving republican plurality, all but two
giving a republican msjority-the republicans
can only elect their municipal officers in three"

A DARING LAwYER.-Van Arman, the lead
ing counsellor for Mr. Burch in the divorce
trial lately in progress IN Illinois, is g man
of rare ability. He is the gentleman who, q
few years ago, cleared, at Detroit, woman on
trial for the murder Of her husband. It was
charged that she administered poison in small
cakes three of which be ate during his speech
before the jury. 1t is said that the jurors were
not fairly in their room before he rushed out
Of the building, and threw from his stomach
the poison. He knew that while a small dose
would kill, large dose would act rs an emetic.
Mr.. Van Arman was counsel in the case OF
JumpeRsz, for the murder of his mistress, at
Chicago, year or two ago. Though Jumpcrtz
was poor and without friends, Van ArInan de-
voted himself to the defence with untiring en-
ergy and at a cost to himself Of many hundred
dollars. Jumpsrtz was condemned, Van Arman
moved for a new trial, which was ordered after
the gallows had been constructed for the exc
cutiOn and in sight of the condemned man
and on the new trial Arman succeeded in
making the jury believe he was innocent, and
they accordingly acquitted him" a- s

WASHINGTON, Dec. -
The excitement RACES terrifcally. "A fnan-
cial crisis has parslYxed all business A pri-
vate session Of the Cabinet was held last night,
when trouble arose between Mr.. Buchanan
and the Secretary of the Interior. High words
were exchanged, hut they did not come to
reason why thoy did not. This news you may
rely upon, as have it from the highest aNthor-
ztg. II has been disclosed to no one else. Z
LATER.
The absurd rumor that appeared in some OF
the papers this morning, concerning diff
Guilty in the Cabinet last night, is totally with
out foundation. I have this denial from the
very best source.
II.
In THE Style Of the Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Dec.
There is no excitement whatever here Mr..
Buchanan will probably resign in favor Of Mr..
Lincoln, within few days. The Southern
delegates are all enthusiastic Union men, and
some OF them hold strong Republican princi-
pies. One hears nothing Of Secession any
where. Business was never more prosperous.
One of the Senators from South Carolina will
shortly introduce bill for the better enforce
meDt Of the Personal Liberty bills in the North.
LATER.
The excitement is rapidly decreasing.
Ia The StyLe Of the T.mss.
WASHINGTON, Dec.
Unless something happens immediately, it
will DO some time before anything occurs.
The tone Of the South is not very favorable to
aboIitionism, and if Sc1th Carolina success
fully secedes, nothing can prevent her going
out of the Union. Trouble in the Cabinet was
reported last night, but unless supported by
facts, the rumor can have little foundation.
The excitement here, in political circles, is
not so great as il was before il began to sub
side, but is sill greater than before it reached
It's present height.
LATER.
If there is no difficulty, all will be well.
Vanity FAIR.

IL During notification times, Gen. Scott was
at Fort Moultrie, with a command Of 500 men,
and full complement Of officers. With a view
to allay some natural anxiety In his own mind as
70 the fidelity Of his officers he sent for judge of
the United States court, and addressed him In
their hearing, Is follows:
Judge, I have long ago taken my oath OF allie
glance 10 the United States Government, but Ii
occurs to me that In this extraordinary emergency
I will do it again There is no improprety in it
ard gentlemen" ;" said he, turning TO his officers,
''it will not hurt any Of MS (" -
The oath was then administered to every officer
present. aud the occasion was manifestly felt be
one Of unusual solemnity.

him II he had taken a ticket Finding that he
had not done So this gentleman offered Mr.. Tas-

The Oil Business.

We observe by late number Of the
Venango Spectator, that the oil excitement
iastil on the increase The total number
d wells now in operation and pumping,
b nstatcd at ~, from which is pumped dai>
y 1923 barrels of oil, being about twenty
Nrcls TO each well.
9he deepest we'll is in Franklin, owned
81 Messrs Curtz & Shain, and is 500 feet
den, pumping 10 barrels per day. The
'hallowest we'll is that on the Allegheny
Fiser owned by the Tidioute Island Oil
Col, and is but GI feet deep, and yields 80
batrel per day. The Drake well No. l,
lsC9 feet deep, and turns out j. barrels
per day The well OF Messrs Lowry
ford is but &c feet deep, and yields 10 bar
rel per day, Evans well, in Franklin, is
80 feet in depth, and yields 10 barrels
PEI day. ...r
fhcse are the only wells, we believe,
iht are less than 100 feet deep.
There are quite number of wells that
ykld but 3 or 1 barrels day. The best
rging well in the oil region appears to
b that of Messrs. Plumer, Evelith & Bis,
'ell, on the Clapp farm; it is ljj feet
deep, and yields so barrels per day
4 Thc average depth of the wells is about
2OO feet, the average depth of tho Allie
gheny river wells is about 10 feet and
yield about 2j barrels each per day; =
moving clearly that the River wells are
the most productive, and consequently
the most profitable.
