THE ROCK OILS OF OHIO.

The last Repost of the Ohio State Board
of Agriculture contains valuable paper or
this subject, from Prof J. S. Newberry, Of
Cleveland. We clip the following extract:
The mineral oils which have of late at
tracted so much attention in different parts
eff our country, and have assumed go i'm
pOrtant place in the resources of Ohio,
are not new substances to science, the arts,
or even commerce. Under the names of
"Seneca oil, - Barbados tar" ''Naptha, -
&C.. the different forms of Petroleum have
long been known, and extensively employ
ed, especially in medicine, and will be found
described in most treatises on chemistry
and mineralOgy.
In larger or smaller quantities, Petrole-
um has been found in most countries, but
hitherto in the greatest abundance in Cal
ifornia, Trinidad, Persia, Circassia. and
India. A district few miles in extent ia
the latter country contains over five hun
dred wells, which yield more than 1000
hogsheads of oil annually. 1t is there
used for fuel, light and painting.
In the United States, oil springs were
discovered in many localities by the first
settlers; and the existence of those on Oil
Greek, in Pennsylvania, and those of North
ern Ohio, which have recently become so
famous, has been we'll and widely known
for half century. 1t is enly lately, how
ever, that the value or abundance of the
material which they supply has been sus-
nected .
Already the amount of petroleum daily
drawn from the wells bored to procure it
in Pennsylvania and Ohio, may be safely
estimated to be at least five hundred bar
rels; and the business of raising it is only
in its infancy.
Covering so wide range of uses as this
oil does, and produced so cheaply, it seems
destined to supersede large part of the
oils both animal and vegetable, now con-
sumed in the country, and to become
most important element in the resources of
our State and the revenues of our people.
As such it claims something more than the
historical notice have given it; and even
demands as full a description of its char
acter, uses, modes of occur renee, and pro-
cess Of manufacture, as may be given in
the present state of knowledge-such, in
deed, as will best enable our people to dis
cover and make available all the depositO-
ries of this useful article which exists with
in the limits Of our State. Nothing like
full exposition of this subject can be COM
pressed, however, into the space which pro-
priety assigns to this article, and the cir
cumstances Ofits publication. L shall con-
fine myself therefore, to the briefest posi-
Bile sketch of it under the different heads
enumerated above.
NATURE AND ORIGIN OF PETROLEUM.
Petroleum is the common name for min
eral oil, whatever its color or consistence.
These vary greatly; sometimes it is dark,
Western Reserve chronicle. [volume] (Warren, Ohio) 1855-1921, 1860-12-12

for that new in use. Meantime, and per-
haps permanently, the supply will so fully
meet the demand, that only those who are
favorably situated, who have wells which
furnish good article in large quantity
and pay little or no rent, will make large
sums of money by them
When we reflect that some 50,000,00O
of gallons of oil, of various grades, are used
annually in the United States, for pur-
poses which may be as well and more
cheaply secured by rock oils, and that Eu-
rope offers a still wider market for them,
quite as good as our ewn, we shall see
that there is little prospect of the rock oils
becoming wholly valueless, even if every
well should continue to flow with its max.
imum yield, and their number should be
greatly multiplied.
Whether each well will continue to yield
a constant quantity of oil if steadily pump
ed through series of years, is a more DIFF
6cult question than that of the market
or the aggregate supply. Its solution
must be matter of experiment.
The wells of India, and the banks of the
Caspian, have afforded a very large and
constant supply of oil for several hundred
years. The Petroleum springs of Hit,
from which the ancient 2sbYlonians took
the imperishable cement for their Cyclic
pean walls, still continue to flow; and the
same may be said Ofthe oil springs of Zan-
te, mentioned by HerOdOtus They yield
apparently as much to-day as they did
$500 years ago.
The steam pump may, and probably
will, drain local reservoirs, and its power
of suction may exceed the generative ca
pacity of limited areas. We must expect
that some wells will fail, but the history
of those largest and most successfully pump
ed in the oil region so nearly constant in
their yield, and affecting each other so lit
tie, gives satisfactory evidence that theirs
is no ephemeral function, and has inspired
a confidence in the permanence of oil wells
which is stronger than ever before

THROUGH THE STORM.
BY E. J. ADAMS.

Thro' the full drifbed wales, DER the tempes
swept hills,
For full many long league to-day,
Since the first early dawn, have 1 wearily
toiled,
All alone, on my desolate way.
But still happy was I, for my heart was un
chilled,
Altho' wildly the merciless storm
Sent the binding drifts thick in my face, a:
1 rode.
And beat rudely my shivering form;
For some fond hearts there are that go ever
with me,
And they keep mine own warm as I roam;
And some faces that shine, like the stars, thro
the storm,
To illumine my pathway toward home.
Now the night, cold and dark, has closed over
the plains,
From the height sweeps a still fercer blast;
But I'm now almost there; for the line of hills,
And the last gloomy hollow is past.
And I'll cheerfuIly on; and the freight that
CLEANS
Thro' the windows along by the way,
Though it to the chilled wand'rer shine tempt
ingly bright,
Shall not cause me moments delay,
For know that my wife waits the supper for
me,
Ever anxious and sad while 1 roam;
And my dear little children impatiently watch,
To be first with their fond welcomes home
From this point on the hill I can plainly be-
hold,
Just ahead, through the darkness, the light
That CLEANS out, through the locusts beside
my own door,
Like beacon, far into the night.
Now my dogs friendly bark and thy welcom-
ing neigh,
Ny poor steed, tells them we are quite near,
And, with curtain uplifted, fair face looks
out,
And what laughing and shouting hear,
As a group of young forms rush in haste to
the door;
Sure tits almost pleasure to roEm,
When We always are certain, upon our return,
To receive such fond welcome home.

GEN. JACKSON ON SECESSION.

When South Carolina threatened Sc
cession notification, &C., in 1884, Presi
dent jackson issued a proclamation which
placed a sudden and efectual quietus upOr
the traitorous attempt From it we ex.
tract the following:
The Constitution of the United States
then forms a Government, not league
and whether it be formed by compact be,
tween the states, or any other manner, its
character is the same. 1t is government
in which all the people are represented;
which operates directly on the people in
dividually, not on the States; they retained
all the power they did not grant. Buteash
state having expressly parted with so many
powers as to constitute jointly with the 9TH
er States single nation, cannot from that
period possess any right to secede because,
such secession does not break a league,
but destroys the unity of a nation, and
any injury to that unity is only breach
which would result from the contraventiOn
of a compact, but it is an offence against
the whole Union. To say that any State
may at pleasure sceede from the Union,
is to say that the United States is not a
nation; because it would be a sOlecism to
contend that any part of the nation might
dissolve its connection with the other parts
to their injury or ruin, without committing
any offence Secession, like any other rev.
OlutiOnary act, may be morally justified by
the extremity of oppression; but to call it
constitutional right, is cOnfounding the
meaning of terms, and can only be done
through gross error, or to deceive those who
are willing to assert right, but would
pause before they made a revolution, or
incur the penalties consequent upon a fail
ure.
Because the Union was formed by COM
pact, it is said the parties to that compact
may when they feel themselves aggrieved,
depart from it; but it is precisely because
it is a compact that they cannot. A COM
pact is an agreement or binding obligation
1t may by its terms have a sanction or
penalty for its breach, or it may not. If
it contains no sanction it may be broken
with no other consequence than moral guilt;
if it have sanction, then the breach in
,urs the designated or implied penalty. A
league between Independent nations gener-
ally has no sanction other than a moral
1ne; or if it should contain penalty, as
there is no common superior, it cannot be
enforced. A government, on the contrary,
always has a sanction, express or implied
md in our case, it is both necessarily
implied and expressly given. An attempt
9y force or arms to destroy government
S an offence, by whatever means the con-
ititutiOnal compact may have been form ed;
nd such government has the right, by the
aw of selEdefence, to pass acts for punish
nc the offender, uRless that right is modi-
led, restrained or resumed by the cOnsti-
utional act. In our system, although it
5 modified in the case of treason, yet
is expressly given to pass all laws
to carry its powers into effect
nd under this grant provision has been
nade for punishing acts which obstruct
he due administration of the laws.
1t would seem superfuous to add any
hing to show the nature of that union
