wHAT SIGNIFIES nuR Triumph.

1t signifies he TACT that decided majority
of the people in the loyal STATES have sworn
with tire proud loyalty of a great people ths
tire Union of these States shall be manrai1ed;
that the armed rebels shall have DO cessation
of hosIililes until they lay down their arms
and return to their allegiance; hat slavery and
iis minicns shall not rule the country, and
rush off into rebellion whenever it is defeated
at the polls; that ihe Republic must survive,
though the traitors die by the hundred Ihcu-
eand. The reelection OF Abraham Lincoln
means that the people, though wearied with
the atrifs and bloOdshed which have desOla'ed
the land, are not so weary Of it, that they are
ready to surrender their Government TO trait
ors.
The election will signify to the rebels that
the people of the North are uuiIed, that here
is 90 hope for them in the distractions which
have been aroused among the people by the
ipfamatory appeals OF newspapers, and meu
who preferred the success OF their party TO the
unity of their country The election will sig
nifty much in Europe. 1t will tell foreign ma
lions that the Republic is more powerful than
ever, that it is strong enough and determined
enough 10 MAINTAIN its integrity against all
foreign and domestic foes. The triumph is
enough for one day.

How PETROLEUM Is FORMED. = The
Pitsburg Chronicle, speculation on the
form .t;on of netroIent1. SAYS:

How PETROLEUM Is FORMED. - The
Pittsburg Chronicle, speculation on the
formation Of petroleum, says;
100 We may set it down as an axiom, that
nature is not only capable Of producing
now all articles that she has ever pro-
duced, but that she is and will continue to
produce them until she substitutes some
thing better. Perhaps our meaning will
be better understood by applying it to a
single'article. Suppose, for instance, we
take the one in which VIC all have 30 deep
an interest-petroleum. This is known
to be hydro. carbon, composed of two
gases these gases are primary elements.
indestructible and exhaustless in quantity.
One Of Acknowledgements a constituent
Of water, and of course is as inexhaust-
ible as the ocean. The other. is q con-
stituent in all vegetable forms and in
many of our rocks. One hundred pounds
of limestone, when burned, will weigh but
sixty pounds. The part driven of by
burning is carbonic acid. Underlying the
"Old Rock" is a stratum Of limestone,
Of unknown thickness, but known to be
upwards of one thousand feet in depth.
The water falling on the surface and per-
colating through the porous sandstone
that overlies the old rock, becomes charged
with salt, potash, saltpetre, and other
chemical ingredients, and finally reaches
the limestone rock and decomposes it
the carbon in the rock and the hydrogen
of the water uniting to form oil, while the
oxygen is set free to ascend to the atmos-
phere or unite with minerals and form
oxydes. The reverse of this process is
seen in burning the oil in lamp-the
oxygen in the atmosphere uniting with
the carbon in the oil, forming carbonic
acid. and with the hydrogen forming
vGter-thus completing the circle. The
question is frequently asked, when will
the oil become exhausted: We may ans
wer, when the ocean is, and not before.
