Mecca Items.

That Mecca is bound TO DO great oil
producing country is indisputable, and it is
ixed fact that tho oil is of an excellent
quality, and many believe tho developments
are just begun.
There are four lines of hacks running
daily betweon Warren and Mecca, and they
never leave ompty. On tho contrary, tho
stream of travel calls into roquisition thu
utmost capacity of two good livery stables
in addition to the regular conveyances.
There have been rumors ufoat that some
of the wells in Mecca are failing. There is
no truth in the statement. Occasionally
two wells nre sunk so near ouch other as to
interfere, but in no other cases have they
showed any indications of failing. On the
contrary, the capacity of many has increased
on tho application Of better pumps.
Thore are great many wells 10 success.
ful operation, and new onos arc opened
every day The yield varies from six and
oighs barrels to forty and fifty barrels per
day. at different wels-the average yield
being probably some twenty barrels.
Groat difficulty is experienced in procu-
ring supply of barrels, and in consequence
many wells have filed their ya.s and are
compelled to stand idle.
The oil district is gradually extending
towards the southwest, until now tho best
prospects, and tho excitement centers near
the we'll of Asper, Chew & Co., some two
miles southwest of Powers Corners, and
which has 5oen steadily forty barrels per
day every day when in operation. Land in
this vicinity is held at high figures, but is
nevertheless rapidly changing hands.
A gentleman who had lately purchased
quantity of land south of Asper's well Sl12
pur acre, had sold it again in fow days at
from $500 to $500 por acre. There are
several wolls being sunk in the immediate
vicinity. One by the "Bay State CO. from
Massachusetts, with good show. Another
by Mr.. Price, of Girard, and a third by
Messrs. Adgate & Co, on the Quale Farm.
Many appear to think that the best wells
in Mecca will bo found ip that direction, and
tho price is raising daily. Land bought a
month since for 300 is now sold at $500
per acre. readily.
Many SPECTATORS are refusing to sell now
at any price, anticipating an immense influx
of strangers in the spring.
New hosses are going up in every direc-
ton some for stores, some for shops, and
some for dwellings. For two miles on
either side of tho road it has the appearance
of a city. The road is full of teams, and
carts, and drays, arriving with loads of bar
rels, and departing with barrels of oil-with
lumber for vats, and buildings, with engines
ard pumps, with coal, wood aud provisions,
hacks full of passengers, otc,-.ndhOaing

The Administration and Fort Sumter

A special Washington dispatch to the
Tribune. dated March 3lst, says;
1t is undoubtedly true that a decided
pressure is brought ro bear upon the Ad-
ministraton for the retention of Fort Sum
ter at all hazards. Tho resolution offered
by Mr.. Trumbull, before the adjournment
of tho Senate, reflects tho feeling of the
great majority of .he menbers from the
North West, these efforts and others have
produced some effect, and tho idea of rein.
torcement is now entertained in quarters
which have hitherto regarded it as wholly
impracticablo and unworthy of considera-
ton. ...
The Cabinet had several sittings upon tho
subject, and it is known that an energetic
policy is strongly urged. The President
necessarily reserves to himself the ultimate
decision of this question, about which tho
Cabinet woro, with ono exception, unani-
nous two weeks ago. Different views have
been recently presented, and not without
leaving an impression favorable to the feasi-
bility of introducing men and supplies.
Several leading naval officers express tho
belief that tho batteries which guard the on
frances to Charleston harbor might be run
under steam without more than ordinary
risk. Thoy, agree however, that unless such
an experiment could be successfully execu-
ted at night, the boats or tugs which might
DO used for this purpose would be exposed
to tho fire of Fort MouItre, in an attempt
to land the troops and supplies. That con-
tingency mus. be regarded as nearly insep-
cradle from the enterprise, and it almost
necessarily involves the commencement of
actual war, for any movement looking
toward that object would be certainly ro-
sisted.
This. Wow is sustained by all the official
information on the subject, and by tho opin'
ion of the agent sont to make personal in
spocton for tho satisfaction of the Admin.
istration.

Washington, D. c., if Mr. Lincoln was
elected President, passed through this
city early yesterday morning, en- route,
and if he came up pretty we'll, as horses
do, con the home stretch" the young
man probably reached the goal of his
ambition yesterday about in time to wit
ness the Inauguration cerem onies, which
was necessary to the fulfllment of the
obligations entered into He came all
the way by turnpike, crossing the Sus-
quehanna at Port Deposit, thence by
way of Churchville, Abingdon, Hartford
county and by the lower turnpike to
Baltimore, reaching the Eutaw House
at ten minutes before 5 o'clock, yester-
day morning, where he breakfasted, and
proceeded on his journey at 6 o'clock,
having accomplished about 700 of the
74O miles, (the supposed distance be-
tween Boston and Washington, since
leaving Boston on Friday, the 22d of
February. The pedestrian complained
of meeting with various detentions, and
although greatly jaded, expressed great
confidence in his ability to present HIM
self in Washington when ''time" was
called. He was accompanied by two
men in carraiage, to see that the wager
was fairly carried out.-Baltinore Sun.

''Our eyes are dazzled with the pro-
fusion of barbaric pearl and gold they
meet at every glance. We see no wood,
except in the doors; all the rest is
granite, Carrara Marble, iron, porphyry,
malachite, alabaster, lapis lazuli, bronze,
silver and gold. Even the light
ning-conductors are of platinum. The
five crosses, as we'll as the cupola of
the building, are gilt with mass of
PA pounds of gold, and are glittering
at distance of forty wersts from St. Pc
'tsrsburgh. One of the bells weighs
$4,000 pounds, 112 granite columns,
with Corinthian capitals, surround the
building. They are each ffty-six feet
high, and seven feet in diameter at the
base. Each is considered to be of a
value of e1,S00 English money. The
cost of the whole magnificent building
is reckoned-though this is probably a
gross ezaggeration-at G13, 500, 600

SHALL WE KNOW EACH OTHER THEREg'

When we hear the music ringing
Through the bright celestial dome,
When sweet angel voices singing,
Gladly bid US welcome home
To the land OF ancient story,
Where the spirit knows no care;
In that land of light and glory,
''Shall we know each ether there?"
When the holy angels meet us,
As we go to join their band,
Shall we know the friends who greet US,
In the glorious spirit land?
Shall we see their dark eyes shining
On us as in days of yore?
Shall we feel their dear arms twining
Fendly round us as before?
Yes, my earth-worn soul rejoices,
And my weary heart grows light,
For the thrilling angel voices
And the angel faces bright
That shall welcome US in heaven,
Are the loved of long ago,
And to them tis kindly given
Thus their mortals friends to know.
OH ye weary ones and lost ones,
Droop not, faint not by the way; ..
Ye shall JOIN the loved and lost ones
In the land of perfect day.
Harp strings touched by angel fingers,
Murmur in my raptured ear;
Evermore their sweet tone fingers
We shall know each other there.

Geo. Fl. Chase, an ehterprising young
farmer of Union Springs, N. Y, writes
to the Country Geatlcman that he has
tried an experiment the present season
with salt, ashes and lime, on wheat. An
acre each was selected for three expert
ments. About two barrels of salt we're
applied to one, two horse loads of ashes
to second, and hundred bushels of
lime to the third acre. The result has
not been measured as yet, but the effects
of each are very visible, The salt
proved least useful; the ashes more so;
and the lime most of all. The line of
superiority marking the boundaries of
the lined portion was as distinct as
line fence. The increase of the crop by
lining, over the portion not dressed with
anything, is at least ten bushels per acre.

Watering Cows.

The Boston CultiUator gives an ac.
count of a recent visit to the farm of
Hon. Josiah Quincy, Jr., near Boston,
and says the stables are SO arranged that
the cows have trough of water before
them, covered with lid hung on one
side with butts, so that when the COW
wants to drink she has only to raise the
lid with her nose to get at water. Mr..
Quincy is perfectly satisfied with COW
that gives sixteen quarts of milk day,
whether she has pedigree or not.
