The friends of Mr.. Jefferson Davis, the
fallen hero, and the best abused man that
ever wore female waterproofs- be in
Cerested IN the perusal Of an account pub
hshed this morning. Of a meeting lately held
Ill New York City, Ito devise means for the
defense of jeff Davis and his associates -
This meeting was held at the house of Mr..
Carlos Butterfeld, and at the suggestion of
Mr. Peter Y. Cutler, committee was ap-
pointed to raise funds for the object stated
THE object stated" is of itself significant
and full Of meaning. 1t not only compre-
hended the defense of jeff. Davis but is to
see that WHATEVER HAPPENS, JUSTICE NAY
BE DONE " That is, if jeff. d Wis is acquit-
ted, his friends will Of cnurse consider that
Justice has been done; if he is convicted,
why then, justice must be done to the par
ties who convicted him worngfuIy. What
this Justice will be-whether the assaa
sins knife or an Incarceration in the prison
from which the avengers shall have rescued
their chief-this cOnclave do not yet declare.
''but whatever happens" they have. made
arrangements to have Justice done"
Among the other conspirators who adj
dressed this meeting was a Mr. Livingston,
of Mobile. The sentiment of the meeting
seemed to be that the rebellion had only
TEMPORARILY failed; the spirit still lives;
the southern heart is still more or less
tired and by the good help of the friends
North, the southerners shall yet be indepen,
dent The recent dissolution of tue knights
OF the Golden Circle must have been feint;
and Grand Commander Hcker, recently
released from the stropg tower of uncle Sam,
IS now Doubtless sharpening his two-edged
sword, buckling Oh his spurs and donning
his plumed helmet for fresh foray. Else,
how IS justice going to be done, whatever
may happen p
Mr.. Livingston announced that Alabama
would be represented in the next Congress
by men who are entirely devoted to the one
idea OF southern independence and fun Their
more, that any person who considered the
course of the South in the late rebellion
reasonable, would be looked upon as a
madman or a fool" His Honor, Mayor
Gunther, was absent from this concIave,
but he sent his regrets and assurances that
he heartily concurred in the above senti-
Ipents Doubtless he spoke in his official
capacity, and will stand ready to support
his sentiments with the militia and armed
police under his control. What an interest

PETROLEUM.

The actual product of oil in Pennsylvania
is set down at $500, 900 barrels Of crude oil
for the year 1865, and worth, taking an
average of prices. $24, 900. 900 at the mouth
of the wells. When carried to the refining
establishments and purified, this product Of
petroleum. is worth upwards Of $50 900 900,
or half as much as thc wheat crop. or one
fourth as much as the cotton or corn crop
taking an average Of five years before the
war as the basis of the estimate.
No matter how great the product, the
market cannot be- gutted. The whole
world is taking to burning petroleum oil.
In 1862 Europe consumed 10000 900 Of
gallons III 1864, the importation had in
creased three hundred per cent, 10000, 900
of gallons being consumed there; and in
1866 it is estimated that 80, 000,00 gal
Ions will be required. Ia every part Of Eu-
rope the Pennsylvania oil is used. The
cottages and huts of millions of peasants, rs
well as the mansions of the rich aud palaces
OF the aristocracy, are lighted with our
petroleum. The demand for this wonderful
illumination is increasing in Asia, Africa,
South America, and the islands of the ocean,
almost as fast as in Europe and North
America, aud until the nine hundred mil
lions of the human race are fully supplied
with petroleum., the demand will continue
to increase.
The best authorities on the subject con-
slider eighteen months the natural life of an
oil well. Some last longer than this, but
the great majority give out before they are
year old. But experience shows that oil
may be struck and good yields obtained i'll
close proximity to exhausted wells Some
wells that refuse, under the most vigorous
pumping, to yield a barrel more, are
drought to their milk" by boring them
deeper. The deepest wells in operation are
but 500 to 600 feet. Scientific men con-
tend that the greatest oil deposits underlie
the earths surface 1000 to 1900 feet, and,
before long, their theories will be tested and
verified or rejected. # -la-
Considerable oil is produced in Canada
and West Virginia, but as yet the product
is email, compared with that of the Penn
sylvania wells. If the yield shall increase
during the next six years as it has in the
past six, the money value of the exported
petroleum will exceed that of our cotton
exports There are more dollars worth of
petroleum going abroad this year thar of
American breadstnffs, SO great has the For
eign consumption become The internal
revenue from this article will amount this
year to ten or twelve million of dollars

The Late Bishop Potter.

AS this prelate was 80 eminent. moi
merely as Bishop, but in the walks of use.
full literature, the public will be interested
in knowing something of the early life of a
man born in humble circumstances, and
who, by the force of his intellect and his
moral worth. elevated hinsslf among the
eminent men of the world:
He was born in the town of Beekman,
Duchess county New York, on the 10th of
July, 1900. At the age of fourteen, having
determined to embrace the vocation of a
Clergyman, he entered Union College. -
Graduating in 1918. he became tutor the
next year, and was chosen professor of
Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in
1921. He was ordained to the deaconate
the same year, and took presbyter's orders
in August, 1924. In 1925 he was elected
president of Geneva College, but did not
accept. In 1926 he became rector of St
Paul's Church i'll Boston, which functions
he exercised for five years
In 1881 he was elected to the chair of
Moral Philosophy in Union College and
held his place till his accession to the Bish-
opric of Pennsylvania in 1S45 He also
acted as vice president of the institution,
relieving to great degree his venerable
father law, President Mott. Bishop Hen
ry q. Underdonk having been deposed,
Professor Potter was elected to the vacant
diocese, and was consecrated September %,
1916
lie was twice married. His first wife
was the daughter of Doctor Eliphalet Mott,
president of Union College, from whom
he was separated by death several years
since. lie had married again this year, and
made journey to California Immediately
afterward, from which he was destined not
to return.
Bishop Potter's brother il bishop of the
Episcopal diocese of New York and his
sons, Clarkson f. Potter. General Robert B.
Potter, and Howard Potter, of the firm of
Brown Brothers, have made reputation for
themselves in their several professions. -
His contributions to science we're valuable.
In 184l the Bishop published work enti-
tied, ''rhe Principles of Science applied to
the Domestic and Mechanic Arts" also his
celebrated work on Political Economy )"
and in 1847, the "Hand. book for Readers
and Students" which had a wide circula
ton. Several volumes of hie sermons have
been widely read among the members of the
Episcopal Church. He also assisted in the
preparation of work, ''The School and
the Schoolmaster," a copy of which was
placed in the district school libraries of that
State, and had mighty influence in the ell
ovation of the standard of our common
schools which has not ceased to be felt to
this day. He was vigorous writer, and
was one of the most eloquent prelaues in
America. His reputation in Europe was as
great as in this country.

THE LAKE SUPERIOR ORES.

From the year 1856 to 1864 inclusive, the
export of iron ore from Marquette County
on Lake Superior, advanced from l, 445 tons
to 2S5. l35 tous per annum. During the
entire period 834, 534 tons of ore were ex-
traeted, yielding about 60 per cent of ore
or 500,750 tons OF cast iron.
The production of pig iron from charcoal
began in 1858 in which year 1927 tons were
seLt TO market. There are now six furnaces
engaged in this production, and the amount
exported has risen from l, 627 tons to IS. $50
tons. This product amounted to one
eighth of the entire product of pig iron in
the United States.
Although the total quantity of ore thus
extracted is not less than 925, 900 tuns. yet
this is the result OF mere surface quarrying
or patch work"
