From the Springfield Republican.
One Of the richest and best Of the smaller
class of American cities is New Bedford and
the secret of its wealth and beauty is OIL 1t
is but few years since the immense fleet of
vessels that made that thrifty port their home
went out with the certainty Of success in
their dangerous enterprises, and came back
loaded down with spoil. Al. that beautiful
wealth was won from the deep, and for years
as many ships came and went as there were
dwellings to give them speed and welcome.
But the glory and the gain Of the whaletish-
cry are past The noble prey, too persistent
ly and mercilessly pursued, hasretired North
ward, and hidden among the -berss. Now,
when ships crew win cargo, they win 1t
from the clutches Of eternal frost. 1t seems
certain that the fishery will dwindle. year at-
ter year, until, at last, only few adyen:urers
will linger near the pole, to watch for the
rare game that once furnished light for the
civilized world. All this is very unpleasant
for New Bedford but are we to have no
more oil Is nature faling9 VIII the
time come when people must sit In dark
ness?
A few months ago man in Pennsy ylvania
took it into his head to probe the ground for
the source of certain oil that r.ade its ap-
pearance upon the surface. Down. down in
to the bowels Of the earth he thrust his
steam-driven harpoon, until he touched the
living fountain of oil, which, gushing up
halt drowned him. Now, all the region round
about him swarms with industry. Thousands
of men are hurrying to and fro the putt OF
the engine is heard everywhere tens OF
thousands of barrels of oil are rolled out and
turned into the channels Of commerce ca
ger-eyed spectators throng all the convers
ing avenues of travel, and waiting world o.
consumers take the oil as fast as it is pro
duced. Men in Virginia, New York ano
Ohio are awaking to the consciousness that

we are by 10 means disposed to undervalue
their merit in this respect-who can foresee
but one result to this struggle between loyal
ty and treason? Who does not see, also
that it is the part of wisdom and patriotism
to carry such an overwhelming force into
the field, that this conspiracy shall be moral
ly as well as physically overpowered, and
thus brought to an end in the shortest posi-
BILE time. -Dost0n Journal.
