ias Nine-tenths of all the oil ever produced in
the oil district of Pennsylvania, has been
from flowing wells. Large quanties of car
buretted hydrogen gas escapes constantly
from the wells, this gas is the propelling and
Eoniy power that forces the oil from its place
of rest. -
During the years 1862 and ls6s-fully,
two (2) millions barrels of oil were produced
each year from this great oil locality. The
daily yield of flowing wells varies from 20
to 5000 each. The great majority produce
between 20 and 200 barrels; large number
from 200 to 5oo and few have produced
from i 600 to 5000 barrels of oil IN twenty
four hous time. Some Of the great oil soelzs
have produced daily, and in the aggregate as
follows: The Empire weH developed in
November. 1861, has yielded 100000 barrels.
The pressure Of gas at this weil was SO great
that many Of the fifst efforts to tube the well
and thus control the flow Of oil were I'M
successful--and before this was accomplished
from 10000 to 10000 barrels escaped, and
formed small lakes of oil upon its surface
the greater portion of this passing back again
to- mother earth.s The daily yield of this
well during many months exceeded 1000
barrels. gsf sIiei Is bszss q tiot5e5Ettanlgo y
The Sherman well was developed in March
1862, and has delivered 350, 900 barrels 4
low n1arshy place near this wei ofe consider
able extent, was filed with oil before the fiow
could be successfully turned into tanks. The
product of the Philip well has been 800, 900.
The Maple Shade, Woodford. and some 9TH
ers have yielded 1000 barrels daily. g h.5i'
The Farrel or Noble well was tubed about
thefirst of June last, and up to this time has
yielded nearly. 100000 barrels. For many
days after this wei was developed, the daily
product was estimated at fully 5000 barrels
of oil. Some Of the wells are still produc-
ing
The enormous production of oil as early
as the latter part Of 1861, was in advance of
an adequate market, and thus-Pe Petroleum
for a time was really without market value.
The idea Of pure oil being deposited in the
earth, especially in any considerable quanti-
ty, appeared so novel, and really incredible,
that capitalists outside feared for long time
to risk the expense Of erecting Re6neries, and
thus create market for Petroleum. 80
For sometime after the discovery and even
production Of oil in large amounts, but few
people Of our own country had any conf-
dence or belief whatever in these develope-
ments. But those who ventpred into the oil
district and witnessed the. evidences Of oil
deposits, secured territory and true to Amer
iican characteristics. labored on untiriugiy, un-
I'll oil was produced as plentifully al,nest as
the watars of the valley. ).
During eighteen months at least. tina latter
half Of 1861, and all orvery nearly all of
1862. Petroleum might truly be regarded as
seeking q market. The average price Of oil
during this tiue varied between 50 and rs

We record with deep regret the death Of GEones
A. HooD, member of the Raleigh Rifles, sged 81
years. George was an apprentice in the Standard
Office in May, 1861, when he volunteered in tho
Rifles, before he WAS eighteen years Of age. He
was with that company through all its battles and
hardships, acquittiug himself as good soldier, un.
til the last invasion Of the Northern territory when
he was wounded by shell near Washington City,
and lingering some seven days he died in the bands
Of the enemy and was decently inferred in or nsar
that City. George was a good boy. We never
<knew more faithful, teachable, obedisnt apprsn-
tice. He has poured out his young blool, willing
sacrifice on the altar of his country. We have rea-
son to believe, from letters received from him. and
from our knowledge of his walk and conversation,
that he was prepared for that great change which
awaits US all. Peace to his ashes, and honorsd be
the memory Of the gallant and upright soldier boy

Mr. EDlros Being compelled to remain several
hours in the town Of North. Carolina, through
which 1 was recently passing witnessed an
instance of brutality which pained nv heart. A
soldiers wife had been to the army on visit to her
husband, with = babe about eighteen months old,
and was returning home. She had no escort, and
had to remain in the place referred to from p n.
until z. NJ. next day. She applied at the hotel
for lodging, and on being refused by the manager,
she asked to be allowed to stay in the Office, which
WAS Also refused although she repeatedly urged as
reason that her child was sick and cold. She then
took bench in the cold, damp piazza, and before
morning her child was dead. A kind soldier, who
happened to be passing relieved her Of holding the
chid from late at night until it died in his arms-
On learning the circumstances gentleman andlady
good Samari ritans-repaired to the hotel, and st-
tended to the decent burial of the child.
Ar. Editor, war is demoralixing, but who would
nave thought that such . scene could have taken
place in this CHRISTIAN country, not one hundred
miles from the State capital r.
The above facts are from gentleman Of uneoubt-
ed veracity. There was not family in the town
referred to, who, if they had known the situation
OF this lady and her child, would not have given
them shelter and medical aid but she was obscure
and poor aud too ignorant or too modest to 20 out
upon the streets and solicit aid and hence the sad
result We have recorded. The moral of this story
is that eusry should cultivate on all occasions
spirit Of kindness towards the poor, and especially
towards the wives and children of our soldiers who
are perng their all for those who remain At home.
And what shall we say of the unfsslng wretch
who thrust this woman with her sick child out of
tho hoteli The owner Of the hotel has no doubt
realized hundreds Of thousands of dollars Of Confed
crate money since the war commenced, much Of
which has been paid to him by soldiers. May bis
money perish with hdml And may these awful
words, which We quote with reverence from the
Holy Book, ring like the trump of judgment in the
ears Of the unfeeng creature who turned this poo,
woman and her child .wayl
"Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which
believe in me- were better for him that milestone
we're hanged about his neck, and that he were
drowned IN the depth of the sea-" -.
But this poor woman found one friend in her dis
| tress. A rough but noble hearted soldier, moved
BY her sorrow, and thinking no doubt Of the dsa,
ones he had left at home took this little lamb in hi
arms as its life ebbed away, and held it until th,
Good Shepherd gently called it to Ills bosom, w,
would like to know his name, and the names of tn,
gentleman and lady who had the body of the chile
decertly put away.

A correspondent of the Raleigh Standard very
justly complains Of the appointment oi Constables
by magistrates now at a time when there is no use
for Constables. He says the magistrates Of Owslow
county have just appointed five healthy stout men
to the Office of Constable The effect of such ap-
pointments is to cheat the army out of men. The
members of the Legislature who vote to make new
magistrates, ought to be compelled to go into the
