The COnfIagratiOn on OIL Creck-Loss
sIOO.OOO


The Oil City Register, of Saturday, contains
particulars of the late disastrous fire on Oil
Creek:
The space burnt over embraces from S TO %
acres. Most Of this was on the Blood farm in
what was called Maple Grove. In this grove
was the Filkin, Lloyd and several other wells
Oil had been stored in this locality for the last
three months and of course a large quantity
was ON hand. Here as well as above, the oil
tanks were standing close together intermingled
with engine houses, offices, dc. On this ter
ritory were stored some 10000 barrels of oil, in
tanks and barrels besides some ten wells, seven
of which were flowing. To those who have
never seen fire from petroleum, we can give
no adequate description of the scene presented
to view. Some $50 tanks of oil were on fire in
short time. The flames went slowly but sure
iy from one object to another The fire leaped
upon the trees, forming the grove, to distance
Of from IS to 100 feet All the men in the yicin.
ity were busy at work TO assist in staying tn,
fell work of destruction. The smoke rolled il
thick volumes over the scene.
Men, noble, brave men, stood upon tanks @
oil which had been deemed as dangerous as
powder magazine, and bravely baitled agains
the flame, and were almost stifled by the smoke
But it was all in vain. 1t is true that som
houses, and the refineries Of Messrs Barrow
Scott, Rattles & Co., were saved, but the re
manning portion of the ground was burnt over
After six o'clock the fire ceased raging, 70
the simple reason that there was little or moth
ing left to burn. The whole space before oc
cupied by tanks, wells, engine houses, office
and dwellings, was swept clean. Maple Grove
which we have often admired as one OF the fines
ornaments OF Oil Creek, is no more. The char
red and blackened trees will long remain mon
ument of this sad disaster.
During the conhagration Oil Creek took fire
and presented a grand sight BY the unitec
exertions of the people assembled the fire wa
put out.
From hasty examination, we should thinl
the loss will not fall short of 100000 Som,
25,0O0 or 10000 barrels Of oil were consumed
together with numerous engines dc.
The oil men took their losses coollY, and wer,

ruins.

Arrant Treason.

The following extract is from the Northwest
(Iowa) Democrat II the editor OF that sheet
does not go to some Fort he will fail Of his due
for more palpable treason could hardly be found
in any Southern rebel organ:
"The South is engaged in an earnest struggle
for Independence. The avowed object Of their
leaders, and the end for which the people labor,
is to throw off the old Government with its bur
dens, and to establish a new one better calculas-
ed in every respect to advance the interest of the
South. They are fighting for their homes, in
stitutions, and their liberty and it is useless nay
foley longer to disguise the fact that they are
terribly in earnest; death will be welcom-
ed by them rather than subsection. We
must honor them for their zeal aud courage
Were they willing to submit peaceably to the
tyranny which it is proposed to establish ovel
them, they would be lost TO their manhood and
the spirit that animated their sires. Nor need
we look, after they have conquered us into rec.
ognition, for the establishment over the people
Of the South other than free and liberal form
of government. The education they are receiv-
ing in the blessings of liberty during the wal
they are waging for independence, will render
them unfit for despoiism and unsatisfcd with
any but the largest degree ofliberty. That they
will succeed in all this we have no doubt Our
own policy has done more to render success cer-
tain than has the prowess of their arms in battle.

Premium Union massacre.

The rebels are mad and no mistake
They show il in their Congressional pro-
ceedings Some of their mad propositions
to retaliate for touching their slave proper
~ by proclamation We have noticed. But
Mr.. Lyons in the House, caps the climax
Of ferocily. He proposes to give premi-
um-in Confederate script we suppose-of
$40 to every negro who kills, wherever
found, white Union soldier or sailor in
arms against rebeldom.
The Southern papers have had much to
say about the atrocity Of inviting insunec-
tion against the slave masters, by Offering
10 free slaves from bondage; but Il appears
that the slave masters, 10 inviting resist
ance of their slaves against the lawfulagents
Of tho Government, and giving them pre-
mium besides for mAssaereing them, 90 a
considerable step further 10 atrociiy. II
this Infamous suggestion had been made
in any loyal Legislative body, it would at
once DO held np 10 the world as an evidence
Of tho brutality and want Of civilization Of
the people Of the loyal States. Now Il is
only one Of the many barbarisms Of slavery.

Our readers are aware that when the
rebels we're threatening Cincinnati tho ne
groes Of iho city were organized into the
"Black Brigade OF Cincinnati" under COM
mand Of Judge Dickson. They labored
faithfully in tho trenches and Notifications,
and on being dismissed from service presen.
ted their commander with handsome
sword. In his Acknowledgements Judge
Dickson paid the despised and prosecuted
colored men the following tribute Of homes.
aud honorable praise:
"SoLDIERs OF THE BLACK BRIeApE: You

on tho Notifications for the defense OF the
city. You arc now to be discharged. You
have labored faithfully. You hase made
miles Of military roads, miles Of rihc pits,
felled hundreds Of acres Of the largest and
lofties forest trees, built magazines and forts.
The hills across yonder river will be perpetual
monuments of your labors. You have labor.
ed in no spirit Of bravado, in no defiance to es-
tablished prejudices, but in submission to it,
intimated to me willingness to defend
with your lives tho Notifications your hands
have built. Organized companies of men
Of your race, armed aud EQUIPPED at theiI
own expense, have lendcred their services
to act in the defense of our city. In obedi.
ence to the policy Of tho Government the
authorities have denied you this privilege
In the department Of labor permitted, you
have, however, rendered willing and chee
ful service. Nor has your zeal been damp

ceived. Tho citizens Of both sexes have
