DEATHS.


In Southington. October 3Oth. CHARLEY, son
Of Lewis and Juliet White. aged six years.
Sweet faded flower" we would not ask thy stay,
To droop and wither in a world like this,
When purer spirits beckOn thee away
To share with them a home Of perfect bliss
And thou dost utter now a song Of love
With kindred spirits in thy native skies;
There is a happier home in realms apOve.
The christians promised home, his richest prize,
Fair flowers, transplsnted to a genial climel
We would not ask thee back to earth again;
For oh It's sweet that spirits pure as thine
Should be beyond the reach Of care or pain.
Yet nature weeps-oh yes, the spirit flown
Demands q tear-and shall it not be given?
We mourn a cherished son, a darling gone,
An angel spirit summoned back TO heaven.
Parents! It's hard to yield your little one,
Your dearest treasure. to an early grave:
But your Father gave his only son.
His best beloved, 4 guilty world to save.
Then yield your treasure back to Him who gave.
Nor murmur that He calls him home so soon;
But look with faith beyond that early grave.
And view your son in his heavenly home.

ouently realized from the successful
wells. The price for land ranges accord
ing to locality, from SIS to $500.
4 new and quite startling discovery,
however, has already made itself felt at
Mecca. 1t is the discovery OF 8 new
source for oil.
THE OIL ROCK.
1t has been found by Mr.. Adams, OF
this city, and other gentlemen operating
in Mecca, that by sinking shafts and
draining the oil from a distance, a larger
quantity of oil can be obtained. They
found under the soil which extends
about ten feet thick, a stratum OF vel
lowish brown sandstone, varying IN thick
ness from one-half foot to fourteen feet,
i~mpregnated with the best l~ubricatlng
oil. l was informed that any quantity
of this sand rock can be found in and
about Mecca, yielding from fifteen to
thirty-fve gallons of oil per ton, and thai
several machines are silently being pre-
pared for the extraction of oil from the
sand rock.
MOI giving lull NISOlI " NhO fCAASN
statements, l visited the several shafts,
already fifteen in number, and obtained
the oil ~impregnated sand rock in person,
and at the same time verified the state
ments made to me. l have brought
some of the sand rock with me TO this
city. and after a careful extraction found
it to contain as much as forty-fve gallons
of oil to the ton. 1t can scarcely cost
more than Sc to So a ton to bring the
rock to the surface and extract the oil,
thereby clearing a large profit. The oil
is very tenaciously kept back be-
tween the pores of the sand, in some in
stances Napthaline and Paraffne consti-
tuting the %cementing substance. 1t Is
very reasonable to suppose that at Frank
lin and other oil regions, where near to
the surface Ia ricating oils have been ia.
ken, this oil impregnated sand rock car
be found and form a new new source OF
wealth. A. /. T.

FENIANISNI.

There is considerable public and private
speculation as to what are the real OBJ
ject and designs of the Irish organization
called Fenisns. The general impression
seems to obtain credence that their aim
is to aid Ireland in successfully seeding
from the British crown, and establishing
an Irish Republic. This, at least, is the
ostensible purpose of the Order. VIM
Lloyd Garrison, at the close of his lecture
here last week, took occasion to present
the Fenians as a probably disloyal, pro-
slavery organization, in some way identi-
fed with those who would aid the South
in designs against our Government. Mr..
G. did not make a very pointed case, in
his criticisms, yet as the Order is in some
degree working under cover, it is hard
to say what schemes it may not be con-
cocting. Ii is very apparent that loyal
British subjects are exceedingly jealous
of it, and apprehensive of civil strife,
raids, murders, robberies, &c. The Cana
dian Journals are almost exclusively de-
voted to the discussion of the Fenian
theme, and some of them predict a raid
on Canada at an early day. The Toronto
Waterman, organ of the Orange Societies,
says it is informed there are six hundred
Fenians in that city, EARNED to the
teeth" and waiting for the word to shed
the blood of Protestants. The Irish Cath
olics are doubtless the class that con-
stitutes nine-tenths of the Fenian order.
No very great enterprise in behalf Of
justice, liberty and humanity, is likely to
be undertaken by them. In this coun,
try they have been for years, almost TO 8
man, intensely ~pro-slavery, and mere
puppets under the manipulations of un.
serupulous Democratic leaders. Fenian.
ism cannot be above suspicion, if chiefly
made up of such an ignorant and selfish
element.

SOUND ADVIcE.-An editorial article in
the Charleston Courier, on the recent
elections in the North, contains the fol-
lowing passage: Politicians who take
their cue from such men as Vallandig-
ham, and applaud the merits of the Chi
cago platform, will be very sure to fail
in any Northern election. Possibly these
men still clinging to their ridiculous and
false notions, whereas Just the contrary
is the truth. The South will be satisfied
if the North will support President j ohm
son. 1t does not ask if the victors are
Democrats or Republicans, SO long as they
stand true to the Government. It is time
this Chicago platform nonsense and i'm
pudence was kicked into oblivion. 1t
would be far better for the South to seek
protection of the most radical of the Re-
publicsns than allow itself to be hum
plugged by the fCopperhead' faction"

Whatev er else may be thought or said
of the South, the readiness with which
the leading minds accept 1.-THE situation, +"
and the growth of the conviction that the
negro population must be made secure in
their rights, cannot be disputed. Thus
Jacob Baker, of finance memory, who is
running for Congress in Louisiana, finally
concludes that 1T will become the duty
of the Legislature, among other impor-
tant questions, to pass such laws as will
protect the freedmen in their rights to
contract with whom they like, and to ap,
propriate the fruits of their labor to the
education of their children, OF otherwise,
to.suit their fancy"

The Mecca Oil Region.
Special Correspondence ofPittsburgh Commercial
NOVEMBER, 4, 1865.

Special Correspondence ofPittsburgh Commercial
NOVEMBER, 4, 1865.
A late visit to the Mecca oil region en-
ables me to give to your numerous read
ers a few items of information. They are
based on my personal investigation, and
such information as / was able to obtain
from trustworthy persons.
In b%ehOlding the near to a thousand
openings in the ground, and the small
number of pumping wells, scattered over
about three square miles, l was led to
think that the Mecca oil region had be-
come a thing of the past, and had left a
multitude of wounds and scars in the
pockets Of capitalists. However, after a
more thorough examination into the
causes of this state of things, and of the
Developments now being made, l be-
came more and more convinced of the
error into which /, like perhaps many
others who visited Mecca, had been led.
Before the outbreak of the war, when
the heavy Mecca oil did not bring more
than s. 90 to 81 90 per barrel (while the
same oil is row easily disposed OF at the
wells for S45 90 to $50 90 per barrel, J
hundreds of holes were drilled in every
direction, with the expectation Of a large
flow of oil. Not being able to obtain
more than fifteen OF twenty barrels per
week, most of the wells were abandoned.
During the war, the want of labor made
itself severely felt, and caused many to
abandon even half finished wells. The
war has now ceased, and the Mecca oil
district is gradually being developed, not
with a hasty, feverish, Pithole spirit, but
it'll c1oru hr1f ctara CLANS HT4h ca,nl ~
erring judgment.
| must, however, remark that those
who engage in the oil business at Mecca
must not expect to become rich over
night, or to amass large fortunes in a few
months. They had better go elsewhere.
But men who want to make a safe invest
ment, and such as are not afraid TO su-
perintend their wells in person, and if
need be, assist in the work of develope-
ment, will find in the healthy oil region
of Mecca a desirable field for operation.
The territory tested for oil extends over
about two by four miles, running from
northeast to southwest; there is, however,
very little doubt that oil exists over a
much larger territory, which has only to
be tested and developed.
The Mecca oil is a heavy, dark green
~lubricating liquid. now sold at the wells
at from S45 to $50 per barrel. Its odor
is different from the other petroleum
qualities, being agreeable and somewhat
aromatic its specific gravity ranging
from 240 and 260 Baume, and is only
found from thirty to forty feet below the
surface. The present yield of oil
ranges from half a barrel to three bar
rels per day. This, by itself, is quite a
paying quantity af the high prices men
toned. The cost of sinking a hole to
the required depth in Mecca is about
$500, and thee ost for pumping the same,

RENARKASLE SPoT ON THE SUNNI. T.
P. Barkas, IN the London Star, says
that on October Sd he observed passing
off the western limb of the sun a very
large, extremely well defined and very
symmetrical spot. The nucleus was large
and indefinitely black, and the penum-
bra formed a well-marked border of con-
siderable breadth. He continues fur
ther: 81 estimate roughly that the diam
eter of the nucleus was thirty thousand
miles, and that of the penumbra fifty
thousand miles. l never saw a single
unbroken sun-spot SO large, bold and we'll
defined. On the opposite er eastern
limb another large spot was making its
appearance, and the luminous photo
sphere of the sun near it had the pecu-
liar frilled and pulled appearance which
often characterizes it when a large spot
is either entering upon or passing off
its visible surface. The luminous mat
ter round the spot presented the appear
ance of rolling and undulating pillows.
