BORING FOR OIL.

Oil Creek, the name OF an incensderable trib-
utary Of the Allegheny River, which takes its
rise come twenty-five to thirty miles southwark
Of Erie, Pa, attests that the existence of pero-
leum or seneca oil, as a natural product of this
region, was known some fifty OF sixty years ago.
and a small quantity of the oil which rose
spontaneously TO the surface has from time TO
time been gathered by Swimming it from the
water wherewith it issued from the earth, and
used ss a medicinal agent II seems unaccount-
able that large and constant flow Of this oil
has not long since been casually secured while
digging wells, &C.; but the upper waters Of the
Allegheny though sparsely settled many years
since, were originally covered by q dense and
heavy growth Of timber, consisting largely of
White Pine; and the inhabitants, extensively en-
gagged in numbering and rafting, have given but
moderate attention to farming, and scarcely ony
to manufacturing. We believe it is hardly yet
two years since, in the process of digging a
well, the first outburst or cOpous flow of oil
melted the oil fever" whose rayages are still
undated
The importance Of the product thus foftui-
tOusly developed may be gathered from few
leading facts: From the middle OF November last
to the middle of February instant, there were
shipped from the Pennsylya oil region by the
completed fragments of the Sunbury and Erie
and Pittsburgh and Erie Railroads (neither of them
touching, much less trayersing, the oil-producing
district no less than 80 coo barrels or 2S0, 600
gallons, worth from twenty to thirty cents per
gallon, making the aggregate product at the low
est price $3.50, 900. A welnformed observer,
who has spent some months in the oil region,
estimates the amount sent the other way Ito
Pittsburgh at 10000 barrels, making the total
product for three months $50 900 gallons, worth
at least 1896, 900. And it should be noted that,
while more than three thousand wells have
already been commenced Cor at least proJected)
scarcely two hundred have as yet been COM
ple,ed.
OF course, the oil fever RACES with fearful Vir'
ulence, and is gradually extending the area Of
its ravages. As yet, the Pennsylvania oil district
extends something like hundred miles up and
down the Allegheny, with an irregular breadth oil
ten to thirty miles, but another oil region ha'
been discovered in an adjacent district of Ohio
(Trumbuu and Mahoning Counties), aud the dis
ease has jus. broken out in Western Virginia

The surrender Of GAata, after a long siege, and
the fight thence Of the Neapolitan eI-King md
his family, ia the browning act of the war OF III
dependence in Southern Italy ard as such, leaves
the way clear for the direction OF her forces,
material aud moral, ~ tie settlement Of the
Venetian question and Of the Papal tcmporaliles
This news is the more brilliant because the latest
previous adyices on the subject were not encour-
aging. We then learned that the bombardment
had produced no great effect, and that Francis
III. exhibited a spirit of heroism worthy higher
cause. Then, too, We were told that the Italian
Generals were almost In despair as to the reduc-
ton of the fortress by assault but trusted to a
blockade by sea and land, so as to starye out
the garrison and as the place was provisoned
for four months, the prospect OF its reduction
was to that extent distant We do not learn by
the Canadians news as telegraphed whether the
capitulation grew out Of prudence, anticipating
the exhaustion of supplies at the end of the time
mentioned or whether the bombardment pro-
duced the effect by its destructive force. Suffice
to say the last remnant of Italian Bourbonism
has faHen and the war for independence and
unity has made one more great stride toward its
glorious completion. We now await the e1.
pected action of the French Emperor consequent
on the capture of Gaeta: the withdrawal of the
French troops from Rome, and the release of
his Holiness and the Cardinals from their politi.
cal duties as governors temporal of the venerable
city and its surrounding territory.

after some animated debate, finally adopted 1t by

We don't ace that this amendment amounts to

ton whit. There is then no occasion for 1t,
except ii may be as an apparent concession to
the Slave interest where no concession allowing
the extension OF Slavery, viii be- made In this
point of view it doesn't seem ID US 70 be worth
much but il it can be put to any useful purpose,
so much the better. Should it pass the Senate,
where il also requires two-thirds majority, it
Will then be acted on by the State Legislatures,
and in order TO its adoption must be ratified by
three-quarters OF the States. There being now
thirty-four States, twenty-siK must give the
amendment their approval, or 1t falls to the
ground. But as seven States have already
" seeded" and as Arkansas will probably do 50
without delay, it must have the vote of every
remaining State or it viii be rejected and II
another State should {" secede" in the mean time,
its success would become hopeless. However, it
is not impossible that this amendment, useless
and supereroga.ory as it is, may be adop.ed
but it is certain that none Of the Compromise
measures as they called, whether that Of Mr..
Cri,tenden or that of anybody else, would have
the least chance Of obtaining the ratification Of
