The Burning well.

Some Rochester gentleman furnish the
Democrat with report of the burning oil
we'll in Venango county, Pa, as follows:
While in the oil region, our townsmeu
had an opportunity 10 witness the terrible,
yet magnificent effects produced by the ig-
milton of the crude gases which escape from
a newly opened shaft. Tho men who were
boring suddenly struck oil at depth OF
about four hundred feet, and before they
could withdraw the drill, or extinguish the
fires under the boiler of steam engine used
to work the boring apparatus, an immense
jet of oil and gas, mingled, sprang into the
air. The gas was forced into lateral di-
rection, far enough TO communicate with the
flames in the furnace, and an explosion Of
terrific yehemence took place. A perfect
sheet of flame for moment overspread the
earth for some distance around, and then
the ascending column took fire. Tho spec
tacle was ineonceivably grand and imposing,
particularly after nightfsll. Tho force Of
the jet was such as to send the oil to height
of one hundred and fifty feet. 1t was liter,
ally fountain of FIRE. ..f. .-.....
The explosion occurred at o'clock We'd
nesday morning, and when the Rochester
party lett, the we'll was stil! on fire. Meas
ures were being adopted to suppress the
flames. -Four men were severely burned BY
the accident; one of them 50 badly, that be
is not expected to live. .ga.a ts.t

The Quakers Will Pay, but not Fight.

The Quakers Will Pay, but not Fight.
"FriendW said the quaker in the old
story, addressing an individual who had in
suited him, "my belief forbids my striking
thee, but it does not prevent my shaking
thee eP'-whereupon the vigorous Friend ad-
ministered shake that set the culprit's
teeth chattering. The worthy Friends who
represent the western shore of Maryland
and the adjacent parts of Pennsylvania and
Virginia have Just concluded their yearly
'Meeting for Suferings" by the adoption Of
an address to the members of their Society.
In this interesting document they deprc.
cate the existence of the war, and exhort
their "precious young men" to abstain from
active participation on either side, positive.
ly declaring that no true Friend can fight
the battles of any country; but they do not
object to the imposition of the war taxes,
for the reason that government is indis-
pensable," and cannot be conducted without
funds. Therefore, while Friends cannot do
battle against rebellion, they will not pre-
vent others from fighting through lack Of
means. Here is the passage from the ad-
dress which puts the case:
ain the present condition of civil society
government is indispensable for the secur-
ity of life and the preservation of property,
and, therefore, all who enjoy the benefits of
government should contribute to defray tho
expenses of its administration, conducted
in such way as those selected for that re-
sponsible duty shall think it right and pro-
per to administer it. If every one were to
contribute to the expense of those acts only
which he approves, the government could
not be maintained, and anarchy, and con.
fusion, with all their hurtfuI consequences
must necessarily ensue. There would be
a great difficulty, too, if not an impossibility
in consistently making the refusal, mas
much as duties on many articles in use are
laid for precisely the same object. The
true position of Friends in the civil COM
munity is, to be quiet, peaceful citizens, un-
der whatever government is established over
them, cheerfully obeying all laws with which
they can conscientiously comply; and as
they arc found to do this, greater respect
will be paid TO their scruples for nou-com
pliance with those laws which they cannot
obey, and against which the grounds o
their testimony can be made more obvious
ly manifest"
This is an excellent compromise. Qua
kers are rarely soldiers, but in this war the,
will provide the ''sinews" that lie in money
bags, and provide them cheerfully.
they cannot hit the rebels, they will shak'
them.

ConflscatIpG slaxes.

While the Government treats the slave.
of rebels with exceptional tenderness, and
returns them to their masters with as much
caro- as though they we're wax figures the
rebels themselves do not hesitate to confs-
cate them, with all other property of Union
men found in the ConfedeFaey. With the
estates Of VIM. @. Rives, Of Boston, and
Francis Riyes, Of New York, they also con-
6scated the negroes on them. Why should
our Government hesitate to cripple aud dis
able fierce and relentless enemy BY seiz.
ing upon property which that very enemy
by his own example, tells us is not 10 be
treated exceptionally And if confscated,
it is in the power Of the Government to dis.
pose Of il rs it sees proper; either making
it subservient Of its own interests directly,
or by divesting It Of a property value Gre
ated by legal fiction, to that extent Grip
pling the resources of an implacable enemy.
What is "sauee for the goose should be
sause for the gander," 20 use a 'homely
proverb, and to make an exception 10 favor
Of rebellion that rebellion will not make in
behalf Of loyalty, is 70 give farcical char

ermnent 10 assert its anthority and crush

OUR COUNTRY,s CALL.

ny WA. c. BRYANT.
Lay down the axe, fling by tho spade;
Leave in its track the toling plow;
The rife and the bayonet blade
For arms like yours were filter now;
And let the hands that ply the pen
Quit the light task, and learn TO WELD
The horseman' 8 crooked brand and rein
The charger on the battle field.
Our country calls; away away
To where the blood-stream blots the green,
Strike to defend the gentlest sway
That Time in all his course has seem
See, from thousand coverts--see
Spring the armed foes that haunt her track;
They rush TO smite her down. and we
Must beat the banded traitors back
Ho sturdy as the oaks you cleave
And moved as soon to fear and flight,
Men of the glade and forest leave
Your woodcraft for the field of fight.
The arms that WELD the axe must pour
An iron tempest on the foe;
His serried ranks shall reel before ..
The arm that lays the panther low
And ye who breast the mountain storm
By grassy steep or highland lake,
Come, for the land ye love to form
A bulwark that no foe can break
Stand, like your own gray cliffs that mock
The whirlwind, stand in her defense
The blast as soon shall move the rock
As rushing squadrons bear ye thence.
And ye, whose homes are by her grand
Swift rivers, rising far away;
Come from the depth of her green land
As mighty in your march as they;
Asterrible as when the rains |...
Have swelled them over bank and bourne
With sudden floods to drown the plains
And sweep along the woods uptorn.
And ye who throng, beside the deep
Her ports and hamlets of the strand,
In number like the waves that leap
On his long murmuring marge Of sand,
Come, like that deep, when, DER his brim,
He rises, all his floods to pour
And filings the proudest barks that swim,
helpless wreck against his shore.
Few, few were they whose words, of old,
Won the fair land in which we DWELL
Butwe are many, we who hold
The grim resolve to guard it well.
Strike for that broad and goodly land,
Blow after blow, till men shall see
That Might and Right move hand in hand
And glorious must their triumph be-

The Tmportatlon or Arrnr.

The United States continue to import
from England and the Continent largo
quantities Of arms and munitions of war
During the months Of September and Oc-
tober the receipts of those articles have
measurably increased. Tho importation is
not confined to guns, rifles, &c., but includes
cannon, shells, shot, camp kettles and cart
ridges. The Bremen, which arrived from
Southampton at New York on the 18th
of October, brought one invoice Of one hun
dred and forty-one cases Of cannon, she'll
and shot, together with the necessary fuses
and friction tubes, destined for General
Fremont. These articles were immediate
ly forwarded to st. Louis. The value Of
the invoice, exclusive Of duty is about SI4,
600. The duties, amounting to about
81, 200, arc of course femitted, the goods
being for the use ofthe Government i'ea

sisted of 259 cases, containing 6.222 guns,

Letter from Townsend.


TOWNSEND, Sandusky Co., Oct. 90, 81.
Ma. EDIroR:-We find in the Journal Of last
week short epistle, headed: "1Vhat do the tro.
men teant ns TO do about tie War;" and We
would like to answer the same.
Well, you wish to know what we want you to
do about the war answer for the ladies Of
Townsend; Arm yourselves, march 10 the field
Of battle, and do not, in this the hour Of
our Country's peril, have the women think
you are cO'cards. You need not worry about us.
we will take good care of the children, yes, and
we will do still more Come this way when
you start and we will fill your haversacks to
overfowing with the best our pantrys afford
We know and acknowledge we, as general
thing, are hard customers; we scarcely ever know
what we want, and therefore it is a hard task for
us to be s'dted, yet we will endeavor to use our
best judgment on this occasion, and again we
would say to you go. If we had no other rca-
son. it would be nice to see you in your new
military dress so we could go and tell Mrs
Jones how magnificent our husbands took. Dc
go; we won't cry but one half hour after you
leave, and be assured we will write often. If 70,
We have endeavored to answer your question
in as polite manner as we knew how. Now
let us ask you few questions. We will talk
sense or try to, and il you think we are wrong
please inform us in the same kind manner in
which we have tried to you. We feel it a duty
for every man to stand ready to aid in the hour
of our Country's peril and we feel to honor
those who have needed her call and and gone tc
her assistance. But now come the questions:
Are we not on the border2 Is not the enemy
just as liable to rush upon us as upon Kentucky
Do you think it right for every able-b bodied man
to go? Have we not traitors here? Have we
not men in our own town and county who stand
ready to do all they can or at least all they dare
to aid the rebel army? We 6c!ieve they would
rejoice to see our Country freedom trampled IL,
the duSt-the freedom which our fathers fought,
bled and died for. You call as hard customers,
but think if you could know that there was as
few men of Southern principles as there are wo-
men you might have reason to be thankful.
We, the "timid ones of earth" do not like TO
take the parting hand of near and dear friends;
and is it any wonder? Is there a mother, SIS
ter, rife that can take the parting hand of son
brother, or husband, without shedding a tear
Perhaps there are some, but we think they are
few. Yet you say that we do not think itright
for them to go. We think it right for all to e
that cam and our best wishes shall go with them
We honor them for their patriotism, yet we viii
not give up that it is right for every one 10 go
l now leave you to think as you choose.

CoMPLETrNG THE QUorA OF SOC, 900 MEN,
The exigency of tho case demands a vig-
orous effort now on the part Of those States
that have not sent in their quota of the vol
unteer army. The Government needs aud
wants to-day the last man of the 100000
in the field. No matter il we are deficient
in Enfield rifles for all. The deficiency will
soon be made up, and in the mean time re-
cruits can be drilled with inferior old mus
kets, or, as in the South, with hickory poles,
and thus be prepared for active service
Our battles must bo fought, and out victo-
ries won; and the earlier We have full
army in the field, the easier will be our du-

"Doesticks" will now see what pretty fix he
has got us into. The above all comes from hav-
ing copied his very funny Ito him) article into
the Journal. If we knew where the gentleman
kept himself we would have sent this letter to
his address, that he might have answered it him
self, but we do not, we make the following
brief reply:
We are not on the border, and there is no pro-
liability 1--WE might say possibility ofthe enemy
ever getting any nearer than they now are.
AS to the domestic traitors in our midst, their
numbers are too insignificant to cause mo-
ments alarm. True, such characters are among
us, but they are known and watched, of which
fact they are well aware Let no woman keep
her "son, brother or husband" from enlisting in
this war from any apprehension ofdanger from
these miscreants.
ADO we think it right for every able-bodied
man TO enlist?" Certainly not mans first
duty after all is to his family. If he cannot pro-
vide for their sustenance and protection without
staying at home, it is his duty not to enlist. A
man must not leave his wife and children TO
stdrve. But it is the duty of every able-bodied
man who can provide for the support of his
family in his absence to enlist at once. 1t is
the bounden duty of every unmarried man to
go and fight for his country, unless there are
others depending upon him for support, who arc
unable to help themselves No matter of dol
lars and cents, or of pleasure, will Justify any
man in shirking his duty in this contest for the
continuance of free country. Our correspon.
dent admits that all ought to enlist that can
This little word cGncovers great deal of ground
One would go, but he has farm to see to. H,
would let his boys go, but he wants them a
home to help carry on the farm. Another ha
a slight touch of the rheumatism, or he is afrai,
he will have if he sleeps on the damp ground
This one has handsome wife, CHATS com
mon complaint) nd that one is going to mar
ry one. Thus it is; one has this excuse and an
other one that, and after all it is but lack G
patriotism, or the deep sense ofdanger in whic
our country is placed, that keeps them at home
In this matter of ofenlistments, the women hav
great duty to perform. Instead of discourae
ing their "brothers, sons or husbands" from 90
ing, they should exhibit that true heroinisl
that has distinguished them in all civiIize
countries, and for which the women of Amerc
are especially noted. This patriotism of III
women we see exhibited every day incur rnids
and instances of it have come to our knowlede
which equals any thing of our revolutionar
mothers. And this is right. Better lose a
that We hold near and dear, than that an anbi
tious and overbearing negro aristocrisy shoul
overthrow the government and establish mon
archy upon the ruins Of our country.
But our reply is already too long The fe,
hints we have thrown out are no way in dis
! paragement of the views Of our corTesonden
for we believe there is very little difference be
tween her ideas aud those expressed by u.s. W
trust the above reply will prove satisfactory.

Ehe Tribune AIarmed-A Con,pro-
mise Probable,

We copy the following article from the N
Y. Tribune of the 29tn uIt. 1t will show the
Southern people why Republican Congress
men are slow in their movements towards
compromise With such powerful organs as
the Tribune, thus ltching and operating
against Them they ne be cautious. Time
is what they want, TO enable them TO make
an adjustment, and carry their party with
them:
We have positive information from Wash
ingion that Compromise, on the basis OF
Mr.. Crittenden's. is sure TO be carried through
Congress either this week or the next, provI-
ded a Uery fsag more Republicans can be got to
enlist in the enterprise. We say very few
more. for we have reason TO believe that
several gentlemen, who have hitherto en-
loved The confidence of the Republican par
iy. are actively engaged in the endeaVor TO
convert their colleagues to their new faith.
In this Compromise the most offensive fea-
lures of Mr.. Crittenden's proposition VIII be
somewhat modified; though if we should hear
within day or two that few more cannon
were planted on The Mississippi, or that the
flag OF the country had anew been insulted
by some armed mob OF rebels, or better yet,
ihat Fort Pickens had been attacked and Its
garrison slaughtered, We night then expect
concessions evrn more bUmlliating than those
now to be forced upon Us by the aid of North
err votes in both Houses. But even yet 1t
! may not be too late. Let the People anew

| MORALS TO Washington. Thus they may pre-,
vent the contemplated sacrifice, and still
