THE OIL BUSINESS.

When the oil wells Of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia were first opened, in 1860, thou
sands Of men set blindly at work boring along
every considerable water.course in the infected
district. Wells were "struck" which flowed one
thousand, two thousand, three thousand barrels
per day. Some men became immensely rich
many more sunk their little piles aud went home
poor Oil could not be used in the quantities
in which il was obtained; 1t went down in price
to twenty-five cents per barrel at the wells.
All except the owners of the largest wells, and
a few iar.sighted men, like the Economic Qua.
kers ut Tideoute on the Allegheny, abandoned
the business, and derrieks were left to rot and
wells to FIJI up, while their disappointed owners
sought other employments or went into the
army. Gradually, by reason Of improvements
in refining and in the style Of kerosene lamps,
oil came to DO more generally used for ilumi.
mating purposes, and its price advanced until.
in the Fall OF 1863. crude oil was worth, at the
wells, five or six dollars barrel.
The "Noble" we'll on Oil Creek commcn ;cd
to flow three thousand barrels per day
when oil was worth O dollar o barrel, and it
continued to yield over thousand barrels until
the price was moro than ten dollars. This well,
and others almost equally successful, revived
the spirit of speculation and carried it to point
never before attained, and the market WAS
flooded with worthless oil stocks until new
reaction was produced, and, in tho early Sum-
mer Of 1864, speculation in oil lands was as fiat
as ever. Old wells kept on yielding, and dc.
termined borsrs kept on borins-more specula.
tors retired for tho hour. In the succeeding
Autumn, new large wells were struck. Some
stocks, which had been bought at two dollars
and half per share went up to twenty. five
dolars-Ono as high as forty dollars. All oil
stock sympethized, and oil hands made money.
Oil was still high in price, and everything looked
bright. Again tho roads Of Venango County
were crowded with eager buyers Of land.
On the first Of last January, there was hardly
a farm on watcr.course within 30 miles Of Oil
City which had not been leased or sold by its
original proprietor. New companies were o..
gained, new wells were struck, ane the bu,i

"Freedmen" is possibly an Ambiguous TERM
and Mr.. Byant's ideas Of his duty may be vague
ard VIC are led to infer that he supposes he was
sent to Georgia to consult tho interests OF the
planters. Or this may BIO movement in
behalf Of the "poor whites" whom President
johnson reckons among the lately emancipated
of the South-a scheme to remove them from
tho range of black competition, and open TO
them exclusively the labor market. But
whatever DO tho true theory Of Mr.. Bryants
extraordinary circular, it is evident that
it must be some other class than the blacks
which is to be benefited by 1t. We do not know
whether it has the sanction of the Freedmen's
Bureau at Washington. but we shall venture to
hope that its operation IL to DO limited to
Georgia.
The seven dollars month of Mr.. Bryant are
| little better than the terms which the Virginia
planters agreed on. We will not impate mo-
tives, but We must say that, in both
cases, if there had boon On attempt to
make it appear that Slavery was better
than freedom for the negro, it could scarcely
have been pushed moro ingeniously than al
now. Tho Virginia farmers agree that the
negroes shall have no land rented to them al
any price. Is that Q part Of Mr. Bryants
scheme alsof
